1938
Joe Hegarty ‘38 and son T.J. Hegarty ‘70
Joe Hegarty returned to LA with his son T.J. Hegarty ’70 for his 75th reunion! As the oldest alumnus returning, he was awarded a special print of the Schoolhouse by artist Mark Waitkus.
1948 Sheldon Greene writes, “I’m sixty-five years since graduation, wanted to attend alumni 50+ luncheon but could not make it due to arthritis acting up. Hope for next year, regards to the school, Shelly.”
1950 Richard Randall wrote in last spring: “Dear LA, Would love to come to Groton for Reunion Weekend 2013, but it’s a long way from the Rocky Mountains. Since I was in the 1950 class, perhaps we can make it in 2015 for my 65th reunion. Thanks for the invitations, and I certainly plan to revisit Lawrence Academy again soon. I have
wonderful memories of my time there. I am grateful for what I learned, and Arthur Ferguson was my favorite teacher, EVER, including college and law school. Although I moved west sixty years ago, my roots are in New England. Sincerely, Richard (Dick) Randall from Golden, Colorado.”
1953 John Ferguson wrote us, responding to the Reunion invitation: “We will be on a riverboat in Europe seeing the Rhine and the Main Rivers. Enjoy the festivities. JDF.”
1954 This from Edwin Engman: “I am a member of the SMAP (Soil Moisture Active Passive) Satellite Review Team. The satellite is scheduled to deploy in 2014. My role is to validate the SMAP Science data projects. The satellite will provide information on the water cycle, energy cycle, and carbon cycle. This is useful in predicting our weather.” Warren MacPhadden sends this note: “My eldest granddaughter, Meagan E. Flaherty, has been accepted at U. Mass Amherst. She will start in September working toward a future in medicine. She plans on becoming an orthopedic surgeon in ten years.”

shows in Boston. Have enjoyed immensely meeting visitors to those events from all over the world and guiding them as they visit Boston's many attractions. Am also acting as a commercial real estate consultant to several clients. Still living in Salem but find I do miss the vitality of Boston. Am enjoying very much contacting my classmates regarding the Annual Fund and our special ’56 Reunion Giving Financial Aid Fund.” Irving “Sonny” Weiner lives in Norton, Mass., and is officially retired from his accounting managerial duties with a local retailer, though he is still active as a financial and real estate consultant in the greater Boston area. Sonny wants it to be noted that he was part of the most famous passing duo in LA football history: “Goldie to McCarthy to Weiner.” Those who witnessed the end-ofseason game victory over Cushing Academy, climaxing an undefeated season for LA, should recall the decisive pass play for a touchdown. Andy Kerr still resides in Cambridge and is also still active as an investment advisor with Devonshire partners in the Boston area. Andy has been very loyal to LA and is looking forward to future gatherings of the ‘56 “motley crew.” Though Win “Duke” Adams and his wife Carroll have moved away to Pennsylvania, he will still be very active in the class of 1956 gift fund committee overseeing financial aid to LA students. Ken Rice and his wife Kay are doing a great deal of traveling. Ken still plays golf four days a week when they’re not on the road. He writes that he has shot his age or better 133 times, with eighty of those rounds better than his age, adding that he has been blessed with excellent health that allows him to play golf on a regular basis.
