48 THE TRINITY REPORTER CLASS NOTES course, my elephant-like memory will record indelibly every last minute detail. Pity I can’t tell anyone.” As for other notes, Nic added that he and wife Ellen survived two COVID lockdowns, spent mostly taking long walks in the English countryside. And they have spent an inordinate amount of time with real estate issues in and around London, a period which thankfully has ended, at least for a while. Also, he and Ellen were successful with Nic’s paintings at their local West London outdoor crafts market. Sam Coale retired from Wheaton College after 53 years. “COVID done me in. Ten of us retired to save money for the college.” The good news is that Sam will return to Wheaton in the fall as a visiting professor. There were at least two gatherings of Trinity ’65 (plus ’64 and ’66) alumni in Florida during the winter/spring months after successful vaccinations: John Ellwood , Tom Garson , Phil Parsons , and Merrill Yavinsky spent a delightful April weekend in Winter Park. They reported that the community has two excellent museums, in addition to being the home of Rollins College. One is the Cornell Fine Arts Museum, on the campus of Rollins. Particularly fascinating was the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art, with a large collection of works and history of Louis Comfort Tiffany. All recommend a visit! Henry Hopkins contributes: “The Fahey Phi Kappa Society met regularly every other Tuesday at Club Harry’s in Hobe Sound this past winter. In attendance were Bill Notman ’64, Henry Hopkins , Mike Moonves ’66, and George Andrews ’66. All were vaccinated. If you are in the neighborhood, give us a call.” Phil Parsons writes, “I’ve been entertain- ing myself, as usual for this time of year, by tending my garden and enjoying the bounty of tomatoes, squash, blueberries and satsumas (similar to tangerines). I have been reading Half-Earth: Our Planet’s Fight for Life by Edward O. Wilson, which I recommend to all. Also, for the history buffs in our class who, like me, do not always remember what we learned at Trinity, I recommend National Geographic’s Almanac of World History . If any of you get lost on your way to somewhere else in Florida and end up in Tallahassee, stop by to see Jane and me.” We were saddened to learn of the passing in May of Ralph V. Katz , D.M.D., M.P.H., Ph.D . He was professor of epidemiology and health promotion at the NYU College of Dentistry. Also, Ralph was a founding member of the International Academy of Oral Oncology and in 2011 was a visiting scholar at the National Center for Bioethics in Research and Health Care at Tuskegee University. Well respected and a noted author of many books and articles in his field, he was recognized with numerous awards and honors, including an honorary doctorate from Trinity in 2018. The college created a video about Ralph when he was honored; you can find it by Googling Ralph Katz Trinity YouTube. Lou Rogow writes: “Ralph was a ‘class act.’ We met the year before Trinity and played on opposing high school tennis teams. Both of us decided to go to Trinity and room together. His tennis was always better than mine, and his judgment sound. He ‘probably’ kept me out of trouble for those four years. He will be missed by many, even those of us who have lost touch over the years. He has been in my thoughts recently. Condolences to his family.” REUNION • JUNE 9–12, 2022 1966 Class Secretary: David C. Charlesworth, 5 Kittanset Rd., Bedford, NH 03110-4508; david. [email protected] • Class Agent: Joseph A. Hourihan, Esq. Greetings, classmates. Thank you for the priv - ilege of allowing me to write 15 more Class Notes over the next five years. At the time of this writing, I am pleased to announce Randy Lee has accepted the office of class president. Congratulations, Randy. However, we owe a heap of thanks to our outgoing president, Brian Grimes . He has been our president for as long as we have been alumni (or close to it). Thanks, Brian. Don’t stop coming to our Reunions. By the way, he writes that he is in touch with Jim Shepard and Chuck Reydel ’s widow and occasionally runs into Sandy Mason on the Cape. Brian and Joe Hourihan will be playing in a Trin golf tournament this summer. I plan to catch up with them later this summer. Got a great letter from Dan Waterman . He writes. “The mRNA vaccines are amazing. Can you imagine what Trinity would have been like for us during a pandemic? Zoom fraternity parties. No road trips for dates. No chemistry or biology labs. But lots of study time. Can you imagine ‘odd job’ Bobko (inorganic), and that tyrant Heeren (organic) online exclusively? Kegs of beer for every dorm. Life again is approaching some normalcy. We have seen our family in Oakland recently and have plans to get to Atlanta to see Charlie’s even though crossing the Mason-Dixon line will take some political courage. Keeping busy doing nothing, I have tackled some home-repair projects recently that have taught me a lot. I think every premed at Trinity should learn woodworking, basic plumbing, how to wire a house, gar - dening, roofing, and deck repair. How about an auto mechanics course or two?” He sums Top to bottom: Bill Notman ’64, Henry Hopkins ’65, Mike Moonves ’66, and George Andrews ’66 gather this past winter at Harry and the Natives in Hobe Sound, Florida. • Merrill Yavinsky ’65, John Ellwood ’65, Tom Garson ’65, and Phil Parsons ’65 get together in April in Winter Park, Florida.
