Class of 1952

Joe Munro reports: “As class secretary I decided it was time to ‘prime the pump’ for class news. The class of ’52 is getting smaller but a few of us attended our 70th reunion last year. A few hardy souls, I understand, did that hill thing but I was not one of them—these days I do not do hills. I try to keep the body in reasonably good shape using an in-home stationary bike and time at a local gym. As for the mind, I’ve been treasurer of our condo association for the last ten years and, in my golden years, I have discovered books. Yep, that’s right—books. What? A Brown man who is not well read? Well, better late than never. I’ve decided to read as many classics as possible sandwiched between Grisham (I’ve read ’em all—some twice), Herman Wouk (almost all of his), and newly published books such as The Wager, a true high seas mutiny much like Mutiny on the Bounty, and Reading the Glass, a sailing captain’s view of weather, water, and life on a sailing ship. Okay class of ’52, let’s see what keeps you ticking in your golden years.” Contact Class Secretary Joe Monro at [email protected] or at [email protected].
