A gift to us, procrastination-nation: thanks. Of course, those who can miss one deadline can always miss another, we shall see.

My bad. I mis-spelled the address with just one ‘r’ in carroll. Will try again.

Comment on Why I Go to Reunions by Roy Hammer

Roy Hammer — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 13:04:42 +0000

I will not be attending the reunion but I am happy to learn of the planned discussion. I knew I was gay from my early teens but did not have my first coming out until I was in my 20′s. Fortunately, beforeI was 25 I met my life partner and now spouse (2008 in Mass.) Jim Hinkle ’59. I attended my first and only reunion in 2002. We went together. Unfortunately I didn’t have any friends or real acquaintances at the reunion and really felt left out (not shunned). I’m sure my shyness, my awareness of my own sexuality, and the fact of being public school caused me to limit my friendships. I attended Jim’s 45th reunion in 2004 and had a good time because he had friends from Yale. I have gone to a couple of his mini reunions and have felt his classmates and their wives to be open and friendly. We have a ’59 classmate and his wife as near neighbors and another who live in NY and the Cape. With them I have great times. It grieves me that I have no closeness to my class. We do get to New Haven and Mory’s regularly and will be going again this spring after interring my mother’s ashes in Rocky Hill. I hope everyone has a great reunion and that the weather will smile on you.

PS We are about to go on an Italian cruise and a got myself a Saybrook cap to wear. I thought that would be subtle and might lead to some questions and conversation.

Comment on The Day Fracking Ate Bill Weber by Bill Doying

Bill, I sympathize, but I’m puzzled by your phrase “anecdotal evidence from nearby states, such as Pennsylvania, whether true or not . . .” I have to assume that you are not implying that the truth of such evidence is irrelevant. Right? But if such evidence is truthful rather than invented, what does that mean for your position?
