CLASS OF 1948 ~ 65TH REUNION Six of the surviving eighteen members of the class of 1948 gathered together at SKS on the weekend of June 14-16, to celebrate our 65th year reunion. We kicked off the festivities at the Bulls Bridge Inn with libations and fine food fare served in our private dining room provided by Tom Zaccara, owner and chief chef. It was a rousing good time of remembrance and reunion. Returning classmates were Dick Aiken from Truro MA, Wally Hastings and wife Maida from Pacific Palisades CA, Roy Megargel of Middle River MD, Cornelius Sewell and his wife Ann from New York City, David and Jodi Williams of Ormand Beach FL, and Bill Reynolds (reunion coordinator) and Peggy Matthews from Hudson MA. Adding to this hardy group of ten were the Hastings’ daughter, her husband and three children, and the Sewells’ son and his lady. I also invited the only returning member of the class of 1949 to join us: a great friend of our class and former headmaster, Noble Richards and his lovely wife Liz. Also joining us was the only returning member of the class of 1945, Harvey Russ. Our dinner party was now a full room of
twenty folks who obviously enjoyed the camaraderie. A highlight of the evening was a visit by Headmaster Andy Vadnais and Chairman of the Board, Jeff Rosenberg. They graciously spoke to us and answered our questions for some forty minutes on the spectacular advances in the educational programs, the modernization of the learning process at South Kent, and the great success of the athletic programs which have helped put SKS at the top of the list of desired boys prep schools! It was a very enjoyable evening, enhanced immensely by the informative and lively discussion with two of the top “engineers” behind the School’s remarkable progress. Thanks, Andy and Jeff. I updated everyone with information gathered during my communications with ten other members of our class, all of whom expressed a desire to be with us but for various reasons were unable to do so. I solicit all members of the Old Guard of ’48 to meet here in June of 2018 to celebrate our 70th reunion! Bill Reynolds Summer 2013 The Hillside • 37
