Hard to make a 4th trip from Colorado Springs to the East Coast this year, especially just for a short reunion lunch. If you all decided to do another activity or two, like Karen Vowles cited Maloney as doing, or even combining with them for a joint activity or two, I might change my mind.

Classmates , let’s do a lunch at a resturant so none one has to do any work . San souci in Meriden . has a lovely garden room and lunch specials . I will definitely attend !

Thanks for posting this, Al. Though I only ran track Soph year, I remember Coach Roy Gooding very fondly. Whenever friends talk about their track careers I tell them about a particular voluntary Saturday track practice Roy held for runners. We were shocked when he told us the workout was simple: Run 6 miles (24 laps), and sprint a different 100-yard section each lap. We all did it - in those days you did what the coach said without question or quitting. (I went out for the mile, and he suggested I was better-suited for the two-mile. ‘wasn’t good in either; was third behind New England champion, the great Bob Tencza.

Good morning! It's with sadness that we lost another classmate. Sharyn Crane(Page) passed away on Sunday April 23, 2023. The obit is in the Meriden Record.
