Tad Harvey writes that fall 2021 marks

Rob Carson and his wife, Serena, moved

the 74th year since he entered Westminster as a Second Former and met what were to become most of his lifelong friends. He adds: “52’s ranks have thinned considerably in recent years, but I can still pick up the phone or drop an email, share words of wisdom, humor, nostalgia with such classmates as John Barlow, Rocky

to Moss Creek in Hilton Head, S.C., “in search of warmth and year-round activity. We have a beautiful view of a pond, which we share with herons and alligators.”

Bartlett, Bob Baydush, Toby Crawford.

Nice feeling! May such friendships still be forming among today’s classes.”

Woody Jewett writes: “My brother

Jonathan died after a long struggle with COPD at age 77 July 9. Smart, funny, generous, opinionated and family oriented. I last saw him a year ago. Jon was 13 months older, and I remember when I grew just a bit taller than he. Sadly, the COVID-19 disaster has prevented us from gathering to mourn him. More family change: my sister Jennifer sold

her house here and moved to Ohio to be near one of her twins. I will miss her. … A few successes: I’ve been reading a lot more. Also, I’ve tackled the piles of old photographs and albums, and have seen progress in getting them sorted and organized into three-ring binders. … I’m still not very good with Zoom, but I am trying.

moved to a retirement community called The Springs at Greer Gardens in Eugene, Ore., (June 2020). The move involved considerable downsizing, but it was time to make the move. Hope to get back to Westminster in 2022, health permitting.” Hal Anthony writes of the reunion:

“You did an outstanding job getting us together.” He also wrote a remembrance of David Werblow (Spring 2020 Bulletin notice): “David was my roommate while I was there. After graduation, David came to Providence, R.I., to visit, and I went to visit him in Bennington, Vt. His family had a big farm there. In later years, David would drive his daily-driven car, a 1950ish MGB, to a big car show in Manchester, Vt., where I would join both David and his wife, Ginny. David became president of the MG car club of Connecticut, something he was very proud of. I was able to go visit David and his wife and her children at his home in Portland, Conn., just before he passed. David’s children were away at the time. One son of David’s got his MGB. This son is now living and working in Japan. I will miss David greatly.”
