Class secretary Marshall Cannell reports that on August 25 a memorial for Brown’s hockey great, Don Sennott, was held in Providence with many hockey players in attendance, including classmates Al Gubbins, Bob Wheeler, Bob Maley, Jake (John) Murphy, Joe McOsker, and Ed Barry.

Robert Wheeler writes: “An article titled ‘Sennott Set Hockey Standard at Brown’ appeared in the Providence Journal shortly after Don’s passing. Don was inducted into the Brown Athletic Hall of Fame when it was founded, on Nov. 12, 1971, one of only six hockey players inducted at that time. He centered the highest scoring line in Brown history in 1951 on the team that reached the final of the NCAA championship, a team that was inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame in 1998. Many observers believe it was the best hockey team Brown has ever had. He was selected to be on the Pentagonal League from 1950 to 1952 and was picked All-New England in 1951 and 1952.”
