Class secretary Hal Gadon reports: “We had a great weekend to celebrate our 70th reunion, including the weather which was superb and typical at Brown Commencements. We enjoyed meeting and greeting our former Brown classmates at the delicious dinners held at the Hope Club on Friday and Saturday evenings, as well as a very fine lunch at the University Club on Saturday afternoon. It all culminated in a number of gatherings at the College Green for the traditional commencement march down College Hill. A number of us marched part way or all the way behind our class banner led by our class marshal Alan Flink, who was leading us through the open Van Wickle Gates and proudly continuing down the hill twirling his marshal’s baton and cane through thunderous applause and high-five acclaim to the very end. Alan said this is something he will never forget and this unique Brown tradition is something we all continue to remember and enjoy. Our 70th reunion attendees included Class President Mars Bishop, Vice President Alan Flink, Secretary/Treasurer Hal Gadon, Robert Galkin, Sumner Alpert, Gerrit Sanford, Robert Fechtor, Ken MacLean, Morris Schwartz, William Clarke, and Rev. John Townsend. A class meeting was held with much praise given to class officers and directors who were unanimously reelected to continue serving for eternity. Our next class reunion will be our 75th in 2024. Save the Date!”
