that was the last time I saw him before his sudden passing. I had the pleasure of an electronic Happy Father's Day card from Vinny Becker. Guess all is going well with him. I received an email from Dick Scheffler '63 giving me an update on the town of Webster. He said we'll not recognize the place when we come up for our 50th in 2014. Cranston Print Works and the whole block that housed Kerry's men's wear were taken down. I guess that includes Main Lunch. Hope Red's is still around for all the nutrients you need to help get through studying for finals, which I did at Lake "Chugg." Nice and quiet and easy to concentrate. I had a nice conversation with Dave Lombard ’65. We both remembered running into one another some 10–12 years ago and found out my wife, Lila, and I and he and Susan were going to the same place (Aruba).

There is no doubt that Bri loves her job as her enthusiasm for and knowledge of "Nicky" was truly evident. One of the things we discussed was trying to find a way to have an alumni reception at the beach as there seems to be many graduates in the Carolinas. "And the Beat Goes On" Donald G.
