Sherry and I celebrated our 60th anniversary by renewing our vows during the reunion at Packer Chapel. We recently downsized by moving to a condo about 1/3 the square footage of our house, which has now sold. Should have done this 20+ years ago. Our condo is in a gated community in McLean, Virginia – it’s like living in a resort – 34 wooded acres in the heart of Tysons (the 1982 movie Best Friends, starring Burt Reynolds and Goldie Hawn included a number of scenes filmed there).
I am still working but slowly shedding volunteer and professional work. After 10 years I will no longer be the host for the DC area Lehigh-Lafayette telecast. I will also no longer be an Alumni Volunteer for Admissions. Sherry and I continue to volunteer at the Kennedy Center. I will be an Election Officer again this year, my twelfth as an officer. I figure if I can handle the 17-hour workday I’m good for another year.
We continue to travel, just not as far as we used to. Daughter Nanci is the general manager of a mall/mixed development in Madison WI and son David is an attorney with Hogan in New York City. Sherry had major back surgery and is now doing well.
And Toms Royal sent this:
Thanks for picking up as Class Correspondent where Bob left off. Bob and I graduated from Trenton Central High School and I then joined him at Lehigh for our college years. He will be sorely missed.
Kathy and I are being different as we have moved back to Bay Head, NJ after 25 years in Vero Beach, FL. We are still keeping up with the 18 grandchildren between us. Although fully retired, I am looking forward to the 100th Anniversary next year of our family business, still in Trenton, NJ.
Toms says he is still following events at Lehigh as three of his four children graduated from there and all are doing well. Hardy, his youngest was a Theta Delt (as was I). Toms expressed disappointment in last season’s Lehigh-Lafayette game as our halftime lead dissolved quickly. That game was his 66th consecutive contest (!) which will continue, even though the trip to Bethlehem / Easton seems to get farther every year.
They spent a month visiting Vero Beach in February, where they went golfing and dining with Mike and Joan Hoben who are also in Johns Island, in Vero.
Jay and Judy Anglada split their time between Vero Beach, FL (7 months) and Easton on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. They had a home on Johns Island for 27 years, then almost two years ago moved into a house in a planned community (still in Vero) that has many activities. Jay had both knees replaced in 2006, but they don’t bother him and he still plays tennis. Judy is very active in the community and plays golf, does yoga, pickleball and even croquet!
Jay got his MBA at Wharton and then was with IBM in Sales before going into banking. He progressed to several top executive jobs before retiring in 1996.
Jay said they don’t travel that much, but then said he spent ten days in the Catalonia region of Spain for his 80th birthday with two (of his four) children, and last year he and Judy rented a house east of Bordeaux, France that was large enough that all four children and their spouses could join them.
In recent years Jay has had the opportunity to visit Andy Jones, Charlie Lull and Charlie Wentz.
