June 3,  up early, hit the dining hall for breakfast. The main cook, Todd, realizing I was an early arrival alum cooked me up some eggs for me and made sure I was well fed.  Todd and Tom stayed ahead of the curve and kept me fed throughout the day even though
no one else was around.  Good guys!  Classmates started trickling in late afternoon.  After getting our assigned dorm rooms, the class met at a local eatery in Meredith for a dinner, “paid for by the
Committee”.  Tom Deihl, a former master/teacher was paid tribute during the dinner.  Over $200,000 was raised in his name for the endowment.  My contribution was a blip compared to the big givers but at least I gave more than I ever had before.  I made a second contribution to benefit the music department.  Everyone should take up an instrument to round out their education.  Sport participation is the same old story.
    Official registration commenced at 16:00 Friday, followed by a class dinner. Fifty out seventy-nine students showed up (ten deceased).  Saturday night was the big event for all the classes with numerous awards bestowed. The whole weekend was an outstanding success.  We all hung tight, old friends reunited and new acquaintance made of those we had little interaction with when attending the school.  With the school’s two hundredth anniversary happening in three years, we will have an opportunity to rally again.  Tomorrow the ride north begins again with Quebec City in my sites.
