The class of ’68 reports that it is (almost) fully recovered from our 50th reunion in June. Great turnout (a record for a 50th reunion class); we still party hearty, but recharging the batteries takes a bit longer these days. Everyone still looks amazingly good. Here’s the latest “Mike News.” Mike Quinn is living in Texas after a 41-year banking career. Mike Novack is also retired, after a distinguished career in law, the last 27 years as clerk of the court for the NYS Supreme Court Appellate Division. Mike Crudele retired after 32 years with EDS and HP, and Mike Long retired for NYS, but continues his coaching career, now at HVCC. Mike O’Brien reports he is coping well with post-career unemployment. Will be updating you shortly with news about our class gift. Please keep me informed on your news so I can share it with the class.
