David Parent writes: “We are at the stage in life when we are starting to say goodbye. And so in November of 2024, we said goodbye to my wife Cathy. We were able to test my beliefs about love during one’s eighties. I had previously mentioned that the appropriate analogy was not the afterglow of a fire but rather was the anthracite-fired steam boiler. The fact that one of the spouses passes does not diminish the intensity at all! The love still continues. I am still busy with the Coast Guard Auxiliary, Rotary, the Republican Town Committee, my condominium board, my little business, and just running my condominium apartment. I am convinced that my laundry basket grows clothes for me to wash and iron. I am looking forward to our class reunion next year and only have to purchase my class tie to be prepared. Brown had always prided itself on teaching everything from a historical perspective. We are part of that history. I hope you will come.”
