November 2005 - Sorry, no news here...Unless you count that we
recently attended an interesting "Crossing the Boundaries" conference in
Suffern, NY ,put on by several county genealogy societies and the NY
Genealogical & Biographical Soc.
Currently I am editor of the
Dutchess County (NY) Genealogical Society Newsletter and ghost
proofreader for the Newton (MA) Conservators Newsletter. Since 2000, I
am the volunteer "office troll" for the Green Decade Coalition / Newton
(MA), a group trying to help "green" up the city of Newton since 1990 -
i.e., I keep the membership and some other records including data input
and output, process renewals, etc,. for the coalition, taking about 4
hours per week. I also was editor of the Genealogical Society of
Rockland County (NY) Newsletter from 2002-2004, but that made problems
with my DCGS editorship.

November 8th, 2000 - I am
planning in a very general way to attend our 50th reunion in 2002, at

I'm called "John" by some

November 2006 -
Thanks for sending the sad news about
Bob Borofski. Have great
memories of him from Taylor B, especially during intramural sports. He
was a great athlete.
Jim Clark

and I are neighbors, and I occasionally bump into
Ted
Liss in Wilmington. Also correspond with
Jack Hanson. Other than those, my
contacts with Lehigh 52 are minimal. Do enjoy reading the Lehigh

Thanks for your efforts to keep us all in
touch. Carl
