CLASS DINNER IN NYC on FEB 18, 2010
Sixty strong, the class held a much deserved celebration of itself on February 18 at the Princeton Club in New York. Twelve states were represented, a good omen for attendance at similar dinners planned for other cities over the next three years in anticipation of our fiftieth reunion. One classmate couldn’t make it, but that didn’t dissuade his wife from coming, further proof-as if such proof were needed-of our continuing attractiveness.

Class President Philip Cannon, once again the model of political correctness, greeted everyone. The dinner speakers-Joel Rosenman of Woodstock fame and first time novelist Selden Edwards- spoke about "Back to the Future "and led the lively discussion that followed.

A LETTER from SELDEN EDWARDS to ALL CLASSMATES

November 15, 2009

Classmates,

Rather than fill up valuable PAW column space, I thought I'd write a group email to catch you up on progress with THE LITLE BOOK. Needless to say, it's been a wonderful journey, sort of an unbelievable one, actually.

PAPERBACK: The paperback came out in June, so that's what you see now in airports and bookstores. It became the Costco featured book for July, which meant a full page in the newsletter (below), with its 8-million circulation. Then some of you already know about the Bill Clinton mention (also below); that one really was unbelievable.

BOOK GROUPS: Now, lots of book groups are reading it, and I make lots of appearances, either in person of by Skype and iChat. Those computer "appearances" are very successful and work very well. If you know any book groups looking for a good read, recomment TLB and spread the word about Skype/iChat.

BALTIMORE: This past summer, as you know, Bob and Townsend Kent very graciously invited me to Baltimore and hosted a splendid '63 evening at their club (photo below). While there, a great interviewer named Bill Thompson tracked me down. Thompson travels all over and interviews tons of authors with a tiny (cigaret pack-sized) digital recorder, and edits them with his Mac. Then he posts them on this very special website. Check out this other interviews by clicking on "Authors" up at the top. He came to the Kent home and interviewed me at their Baltimore kitchen table; you can picture the author there. Very cool.

THANK YOU: Again, thank you for your generous support of this book. There is no question that one of the main reasons for its success is the fabulous support it has received by my '63er friends. You are indeed pure class!

And speaking of photo ops, this summer in Baltimore, Townsend and BOB KENT rounded up a group of Balmer classmates to discuss THE LITTLE BOOK with its author (sitting), and hosted a splendid dinner at their club. Seen here is the group at the legendary Ivy Bookstore. They are, from left CHIP MARKELL, CHARLIE GREENLEAF, Kent, VINCE HOCK, DON MCPHERSON, BILL SCHMICK, MIKE MCBRIDE, DAN DENT, TIM CALLARD, and BILL MULES, who led a details-rich tour of Ft. McHenry. (Jay Schroeder had gone to the little boys room).

PAW Nov 4, 2009 Class Notes

Who’s that on the left? The smiling face on the right is obviously our own DICK KRUGMAN, professor of pediatrics and Dean of the University of Colorado Medical School, who in May was celebrated with an honorary degree from Wake Forest. The Vice President came along to cheer.

June 2009

While some of us were gathered in Princeton to help the Class of 1964 celebrate their 45th, a group of classmate roommates gathered at the Outer Banks home of Nancy and MIKE LEWARS in a reunion of their own. They are, from left, DENNY GRUBBS, Lewars, BOB BLICKENSTAFF, Krugman, and DAVE GORDON. Rumor has it that the recumbent guy in shades to the left is JAY SCHROEDER.

WHAT ARE THESE GUYS DOING????? Read about it in March 18, 2009 class notes, see menu on left.
