April 2022

I met with Tom Chase this past summer in Bethel Maine, to visit the Maine Mineral and Gem Museum. Tom continues to correspond with classmates regarding a plethora of information about our class. Some of it goes back as far as 65 years — and even longer for those few of us who attended Calvert. With assistance from Teddy Mudge, Tom has been working ardently to recruit our class’s small Calvert contingent for a 65th Reunion. Teddy, as well as John Loeb, who did not attend Calvert, got word on one of the email chains about my upcoming trip to the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Though neither Teddy nor John reported news of themselves, both were kind enough to contact me with restaurant recommendations in NOLA that I look forward to trying.
