In January 2016 your webmaster received a fat manila envelope in the mail from Dolly McDevitt (Virginia Kuduk). It was full of mementos, mostly photos, and this explanatory note:
Well, your clueless webmaster figured that this was certainly a reasonable request and placed the envelope somewhere in his cluttered office for safekeeping. Then he promptly forgot about the envelope and the treasures it contained. Our 60th reunion came and went the following year and the mementos remained safely hidden somewhere in Al’s office. It took the Coronavirus Pandemic of 2020 to inspire Al to organize his office. Was it too much time on his hands? Was it thoughts of impending death? Was it a nagging wife? Was it blind luck? Who knows?. All that matters is that the forgotten envelope was discovered. And so, with sincere apologies and heartfelt thanks to Dolly, we present the contents of that envelope. And, with sufficient reminders from classmates, your webmaster will bring the envelope to our 65th reunion!
Remember those tiny photos we used to exchange? Dolly sent these and, fortunately, most of them have a name on the back. If there was no name we tried to guess. You’ll see a question mark after those names. ??? means we didn’t guess.
