Class Notes 1958 Members of the jazz band “The Mystics” had a mini-reunion weekend in November. Dave Nichols travelled from Bellingham, Washington, and Lavern and Bill Robertson from Green Pond, New Jersey, to Larry Beck’s home in Hillsboro Beach, Florida. The group drove to Clearwater to attend and participate in the three-day Suncoast Dixieland Jazz Festival. They had a wonderful weekend of singing, playing, listening, reminiscing and renewing close friendships.
1959 Christopher Getman and his wife hosted Sally and Steve Hyde at their home in Hamden, Connecticut. Chris comments,“They are a lot of fun. Steve is as ugly as ever!”

1963 Tibbie Hoopes Field writes that last year was a “Tower Hill Reunion Year” for her. While in Arizona for a conference in April 2010, she had a surprise meeting with Alice Flint Roe who now lives in Tucson. While visiting the Green Fields Country Day School where her uncle Charlie Snowdon and later her brother Toby Hoopes ‘61 had attended, Tibbie was spotted by Alice, whose husband Bill had been on the school’s board and whose children had attended the school. “Since neither of us had aged (ha,ha), we recognized each other immediately!” The other reunion was at Charlie and Abby Diemar’s wedding on July 17, 2010. Charlie is the son of Eleanor Griggs Diemar ‘62. Of the many guests at the wedding, 11 had attended Tower Hill. Last August March Wier Pepper and her husband Perry stopped by on their way to Maine. Tibbie, who is now involved in historic preservation, and her husband Bob, who is a lawyer, would love to show the beautiful New Hampshire seacoast to other Hillers.
