John Cunningham ’51 is a survivor of COVID-19, living in California and dealing with statewide fires.
Bill Mitchell ’54 had the best round of golf this year on his 84th birthday, where he shot his age. Gerald “Jerry” Rothstein ’55 felt bad the
2020 class reunion was cancelled. He was looking forward to returning to campus for his 65th reunion. He says, “I am retired now, and spend most of my days boating, or just sitting around. Because of the coronavirus lockdown, things to do are very limited. My health is good, and my children and grandchildren are all well. During the summer months I help new boaters with navigation, safety, and the proper piloting of their boat. Wish there was more to say, but 2020 has slowed me, and I supposed many others, down. Look forward to the 2021 reunion.”
Jacob Pohn ’59 recently looked back at his time at CA, stating he had a great four years.

John Long ’42 says, “I am now 97 years old. Following my
service in World War II and graduation from Duke, my wife and I raised five children while I worked in the insurance field. After my retirement and my first wife’s death, my second wife and I were able to enjoy almost 25 years of traveling and timeshare exchanges. We are now living in a senior independent living community and although we have a few limitations I feel very lucky to have had such a good life.”
