I greatly regret we couldn’t attend the reunion. Orthopaedic problems resulting from a bad fall five years ago have left me unable to stand comfortably or walk any significant distance. Reunion activities would have been impossible. Though basically homebound now, fortunately my wife, Fay, and I were able to do a lot of traveling before, including a dozen trips to Europe over the years, and multiple trips to California and other parts of the West. And we are blessed with five wonderful grown children and seven grandchildren from our first marriages. All in all, then, life has treated us very well. I think of Deerfield often and fondly. All the best to all my classmates.
