sounded just as perky as ever.
I regret I have no other news of our class. Don’t
let us be forgotten. Please write, call or email me.
It is important that we keep in touch. I relish any
news.

Next Reunion: 65th,
May 31-June 3, 2012
In September you received the warm and enthusi-
astic letter from
Bell Herndon
and
Fred Zito
encouraging you to attend the Class Reunion com-
ing up May 31-June 3. It’s the 65th anniversary of
our graduation! That’s hard to believe but true.
So now is the right time to think seriously about
attending. A good turnout of our surviving class-
mates will make the reunion time a truly memo-
rable occasion. A handshake, a hug, lots of conver-
sation and laughter are so much better than just
writing and reading. Travel may be a big effort for
us these days, but your presence will be a reward
for everyone else attending.
Bell and Fred, both veterans of theWorldWar II
Navy units at St. Lawrence, say that only a relative
few of their fellow veterans have been in touch
with the University. So
all
men from SLU V-5 and
V-12 units are enthusiastically invited to participate
in the coming reunion. Please forward your own
address and any information you have on others of
your fellow veterans.

June Cosgrove Hefti
’s granddaughter, Estella
Hefti ’11, graduated cum laude from SLU in May.
It was an outdoor ceremony on a beautiful day

recently with
Jean Burchell Wells
in North
Palm Beach, Fla.
Ellen Spraque Burnup
’s grandson is a fresh-
man at a college in Tennessee.

100 miles north of Minneapolis on the banks of the

they say in Lake Woebegone. Dick retired and
loves golf. They ski no longer, but remain active
and healthy. Their children are scattered and they
visit them as often as possible. She sends love and
best wishes to all their classmates.
Lillian Belmont Costaregni
’s grandson,
Tim Carpenter ’13, is an ATO at SLU. I am sure
that pleased his grandfather, George.
Hope you all had a wonderful fall. Keep in
touch.

Sperling ’52 and I had a little reunion luncheon in
August but no one had any news to report. I did
hear via the grapevine (i.e., her brother Preston
Carlisle ‘52) that
Betsy Carlisle Rogers
had
hip surgery and is recovering well.
Then came a wonderful email from
Andy Doty
reporting that he has been chosen by the Hud-
son Falls (N.Y.) High School for its Wall of Dis-
tinction, a display of portraits and biographies of
school alumni who have fared well in life. Andy
was president of the Class of 1944, lettered in four
sports and was named an all-conference halfback.
He joined the Air Corps duringWorldWar II and

gunner. He is the author of a book

.
Attending SLU after the war, Andy was elected
to Kixioc in his senior year. Following his gradua-
tion, he became a reporter for the
Watertown Daily
Times
, then began a career at three universities:
Johns Hopkins, Michigan and Stanford. In 1989,
Andy was named Palo Alto’s Outstanding Profes-
sional and was cited by the city’s senior organiza-
tion for “A Lifetime of Achievement.” He retired
from Stanford in 1993 as director of community
relations. Andy and his high school sweetheart
have been married since 1950 and they have three
daughters and six grandchildren in Palo Alto and
Boulder, Col. Congratulations, Andy, on a life well
lived.

I talked with

about a trip
she had to Italy. She sent me a beautiful picture of
the statue of Athena which she saw in a Naples
museum and said she enjoyed her trip immensely.
Come October, she was planning a trip up the
Hudson River.
I had a long email from
