Spike Hamilton ’55

When I reached him, Spike was “down cellar in his workshop making railings keeping busy while winter comes”. It’s early October, the leaves are turning and it’s delightful living in his self-built house amidst 10 acres of woods in E. Dummerston, VT. He’s now a widower having lost his wife, Susan, four years ago. His [...]

John J. McCloy II ’55

John relates that it’s not been a great year – Laura has endured two knee replacements, plus a shoulder and an ankle replaced. Lots of “little steel bits and pieces”, but “Whatever — body and soul stays together and you gotta be grateful for it”. He and Laura are trying to sell their house in [...]
