OLLIE (Perfect Host) JOHNSON hosted a less than overwhelming number of returning '35ers at the 40th. Present were BILL ANGUS, STEVE COFFEY, JIM COSGROVE, BILL CURTIS, GEORGE DICKERSON, FRED DUENNEBIER, CHARLIE HAASER, TOM HAGARTY, HARRY OLSON, ERIC PURDON, SIS SAMPERS, ARTHUR STOLZ, GEORGE WALKER, JOHN ZIETLOW and YOUR SECRETARY. There were also a goodly number on the distaff side including Fran, widow of CHARLIE WILDING. During the Friday buffet and .the Sunday brunch, a number of long forgotten anecdotes were resurrected from the nostalgic past. Author and raconteur Eric P. gave a heart rending account of the sinking of his boat - not on the storm tossed sea but at dockside. Eric also backed his claim as "the last boy birched in Britain." Somehow Eric seems to have fared better than the Empire. Ollie read messages from or told of several other '35ers who were unable to make the 40th, including MIMI MARQUET, TERRY MOWBRAY, LU KELLAM, DENNY FARNELL and SHED McCOOK. JIM COSGROVE was the recent subject of a feature article in the Hartford Courant. Jim, who is chief of Connecticut's Public Defenders, has handled thousands of cases since he entered this field in 1951. The accompanying picture showed Jim much as he looked in '35's balmy days at Trin. JACK AMPORT came up from his Madison, Connecticut summer home to see the Coast Guard game. Jack expects to retire from GE this February after 40 years. He mentioned having seen JACK MAHER on several occasions. We're proud to report that LU KELLAM represented Trinity at the inauguration of the new president of Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Virginia. Let's start thinking about our 45th.
