James W. Melloni retired after 22 years with the DoD-USAF and still resides in Somerville with his grandson, Jim III. He is a big help since James suffered a torn oblique tendon and walking is a bit difficult. Somerville is also handy for Jim III, since he performs at the Improv Theater in the North End. James gets out for lunch a couple of times a week, usually at Caseys off Broadway Street in Somerville.  He wishes all his former BC classmates a healthy, safe 2022.

Ted was instrumental with his fundamental basketball play in helping BC make the NCAA tournament in 1958. Ted was a gentleman and super teammate (very unselfish). May Ted rest in peace. • Jim Gosselin reminds us that ours was the first class of students in the new dormitories. Each building had one pay phone in the hall. After graduation, Jim joined his father in the family commercial laundry and dry cleaning business. His father had a heart attack six months later, and Jim ended up running the business at age 22, along with his younger brother Tom ’63. They refocused the business to a healthcare clientele and had customers in eastern New York and four other states. Jim retired to Vero Beach. In recent years, his focus is being a caregiver for his wife, Nancy. They have three children, five grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren.

He then went on to a successful career in the technology industry while also operating a swim club on Lake Boone in Stow for over 20 years. Bob was a quiet and gentle man, but he also loved to have fun. He was the “fun uncle” that all the nieces and nephews adored. He will be remembered by all who knew him as a wonderful, loving, and caring man and will be greatly missed. • In the past two years, Henry Quinlan has given over 100 talks to retiree/senior groups on various topics regarding retirement-age issues.

Her younger sister, Shannon, jumped ship and is now in her second year at Holy Cross, but Mary and Frank forgave her. They have two Casey grandchildren in high school now, and they are doing their best to indoctrinate them. Mary will never forget her dear classmates at Newton, nor will she forget the professors who stimulated them daily. She loved her career teaching English, but she had no idea how to produce a coherent paper until she encountered Mother White.

Bob Uek, who has a Naples, Florida, place in Pelican Bay, welcomed a new neighbor—Jim Norton has purchased a snowbird house there. He closed up shop and is back in Massachusetts until cold winds blow, luring Jim and Carol back to nice and neatly warm, congenial Naples. • Friends of Wayne Budd have inaugurated the Wayne Budd Scholarship at BC Law. A highly respected attorney, community leader, and former BC trustee, Wayne has been a role model for many younger Boston lawyers and folks in business had his success to emulate. Kudos galore to Wayne! • Philanthropist Jack Connors was chairman of Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker's re-election campaign in 2018. News noted that Jack and the Governor met in Boston to tour the Boston Health Care for Homeless Program, which is supported by Jack. • Last May, the periodic ’63 gabfest took place with lunch at Lewis’ Grille in Norwood. Attending were Bob Arbing, Frank Carney, John Cuneo, old friend George Finn, Paul Hardiman, Mike Lydon, Jim Norton, Bob Parks, Tom Quirk, and Ed Rae. • Bob Smith returned last evening, though a bit weary, from a special luncheon held in Wrentham to honor a fallen teammate, John (Hoof) Flanagan ’64. Traveling from Cape Charles, Virginia, required a short flight which enabled Bob to reflect not only on John, but also on the additional 19 gridiron mates from 1963–64 that have taken their final snap. The team was unique (8-2 in the 1962 season), unique in that it represented the centennial class, unique in ethnic backgrounds, unique in the fact that virtually all members were the first in their families to attend university. The team misses John and all of their brothers—thank Harry Kushigian ’64 for his relentless effort to keep them together. • Hard to believe, but Mary Landrigan ’64 and Philip Landrigan have now been back in Boston for more than four years, and Philip is starting his fifth year on the BC faculty as director of the Program for Global Public Health and the Common Good. The program is going well, and they graduated their first full cohort of 51 students last year. Please come by to visit and send your grandchildren to see them on their college tours. There has never been a better time to go into public health. • Ed Rae reports he coached four sports, years back: youth, travel, school. Ed officiated as well most of his adult life. He is still, to a lesser degree, active as referee in soccer and boys’ lacrosse. In these roles, he gladly encountered classmates or their sporting offspring. Among them were Gene Durgin, Dick Gould, Paul Hardiman, Bill Harmon, Jim Norton, Joe Quinn, Tom Quirk, and Joe Shevory. • Francine Bonnano Dionne and her husband have now downsized, giving up the beautiful water view for a little cement in town. They went to Scotland in May, a wonderful trip if a bit breezy coming from South Carolina. They are looking forward to their next trip to Boston. • Tom McCabe is proud of Sarah, his oldest grandchild, who is a 2017 Brown graduate, received a PhD in chemical engineering from MIT, and works in biotech in Cambridge. His middle grandson, Chris Cowles ’22, labors in the Big Apple with a coterie of classmates and peers. His youngest grandchild, Margaret (Meg), will begin at Brown this fall. Their parents' efforts earn beaucoup accolades. • On August 2, generous, gracious Paul Hardiman hosted a Cape Cod lunch bunch, fun time gabfest at his Falmouth house. Attending were: Carol and Jim Norton, Tom Quirk, Kay and John Golden, Brian Sullivan, Oky Goldman, Judy and Frank Carney, Bob Uek, and John Cuneo. Longtime friend, garrulous and marvelous companion, Monsignor Frank Kelley graced the group's engaging conversation.

Mary Lou Mullen and her husband, Pete Mullen ’61, attended the 2022 Women's National Collegiate Club Water Polo Championship in Huntsville, Alabama, this spring. Boston College represented the New England Division. They drove from Notre Dame, Indiana, to Huntsville to enjoy seeing their two granddaughters swim for BC. Audrey Mullen ’22, a senior and captain of the BC women's water polo team and Elise Mullen ’25 represented Boston College very well. What a pleasure it was, seeing their two granddaughters compete together on a national level!

It is with great sadness we report the death of Ronald Moravitz, who was a proud graduate of Brooklyn Prep. His wonderful laugh will be missed. • Joseph deNatale is living in the northeast section of Linden, Texas, hometown of Don Henley of the Eagles and Scott Joplin. His oldest son, Joe, Jr., is lead designer of the Bronco, and his son Luke is senior analyst for Wells Fargo. Joseph put out a YouTube video of his year in Vietnam as a combat surgeon, titled “Quang Tri 1970–1971,” sort of like a medical “Top Gun.” • Carol Tye is beginning her 63rd year of service in the Revere Public Schools. She was a teacher of English (and sometimes Latin) for 35 years at Revere High School before she became assistant superintendent. Shortly thereafter, she was promoted to superintendent, in which she served for five years until she retired in 2001. Still eager to serve, Carol ran successfully for a two-year term on the Revere School Committee; she won and was re-elected 10 more times, for a total of 20 years. She is grateful for the privilege of spending her life in a world that is always young.

Betsy Jones recently published her memoir, Answering the Call, now available on Amazon. She recounts that after graduation from BC she initially responded to a sense of a spiritual call by spending a year in Jamaica as a lay missionary. Thereafter her search led her to a different, unexpected calling, one to a life of dedication in a new religious movement. Ultimately, this would bring her to a life of caring not only for her own five children but also for individuals and families throughout the nation and to a multi-faceted global involvement with peace-making. This book is the story of her surprising journey. • Fred Grannis returned to Long Beach, California, from a 37-day road trip across Canada and the Deep South, including a visit with Betty and John Weis in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Fred retired as emeritus clinical professor of thoracic surgery at City of Hope National Cancer Center but is still active in lung cancer screening research and advocacy. He is planning a trip north to Kentfield, California, to hang out with Carole and Ed Harkins. He is just finishing a wonderful online course in Russian cultural history from Wondrium.

Catherine Beyer Hurst reports that 20 classmates were present at the 55th (plus one!) reunion at Boston College in June. Cocktails at the Marriott Friday night, an invigorating class discussion (with three breakout groups) on Saturday morning, and a class party Saturday night shared with the other classes of 55 years or more—though the Class of 1966 was by far the largest group and the only ones dancing—were highlights of the weekend. The class acknowledged their deceased classmates at Sunday morning Mass at the Chapel. • Susi Marion Cooney's husband, Jim, died on February 22 of Alzheimer's disease. Jim had lived in Lowell most of his life, taking over his father's insurance and real estate agency and leading it as president until his retirement in 2015. His obituary reports that “while mischievousness defined his youth, his loyalty and commitment were hallmarks of his adulthood. He had a generous spirit and was wired to help folks who needed a lift. He was the person to call if you needed a few bucks, a place to stay, or a job. He was an active member of his community and held many leadership positions in civic organizations, clubs, and schools.” Jim and Susi are the parents of four daughters and the grandparents of seven. • Gail Lavin Reardon died on February 21. After graduating from Newton, Gail pursued graduate studies at Simmons School of Social Work. She worked in counseling and in fundraising at Harvard and at Beaver Country Day School and then started her own experiential education consultancy, Taking Off. Her obituary reports that "her passion was helping young people make positive choices and explore the world. She was engaged in many social justice causes throughout her life." Gail leaves behind two daughters and three grandchildren. • Mary Donahue Stearns has developed a course entitled "Engineering Forensics," which she teaches in the Tufts University Human Factors Engineering program. Her course applies human factors knowledge to analyze causes of major incidents and focuses on how human error, dysfunctional organizations, and fault-intolerant designs can result in accidents. Prior to teaching at Tufts, she was chief of the Human Factors Division at the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center in Cambridge. • Susan Korzeneski Burgess recently exhibited a number of new paintings at two art shows. Her work was part of an exhibit of "Landscapes, Oceanscapes, Cityscapes" at the Galleries at Lynn Arts. She also showed paintings in a special exhibit of works by long-term members of the Marblehead Arts Association in August/September. All of her paintings in both shows were painted (either entirely or mostly) "en plein air," a process she reports that she never learned at Newton!

Two months after graduation from BC, Stephen Arlinghaus entered USAF Officer Training School and was commissioned as a 2nd Lt, followed by his marriage to Eileen Riordan on October 29, then off to University of Oklahoma for one year of meteorology and then three years as a weather officer stationed in the UK. He eventually went to Graduate School at Yale to study international relations. Steve has been fully retired for several years, and a season ticket holder for BC men's hockey for 14. He is undecided about the 2022–2023 season given his age and the cost of gas for the 95-mile each way trip to Conte Forum. • Dan Madden lives in Sun City Center, Florida. He has been retired for 17 years now. After a career in economic development consulting, he has turned back to his love of history. He wrote three books that are available on Amazon, two on the American Revolution and another on his Greco-Roman heritage. He also gives lectures on both topics in Sun City Center. He and Judy live with a disturbingly precocious and entertaining lovebird. They have two other children and two grandchildren. His co-president of the ’66 BC International Club, Pradeep Nijhawan ’68, also lives in Sun City Center. They have a blast together. • Claudia Sheila Daileader (Collins) passed away on July 15, 2022, in Williamsburg, Virginia. She is survived by her husband, Philip Henry Daileader, Sr. • Peter Veneto continues to volunteer with SCORE as a mentor to people who want to start or grow a small business in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. Peter finds this a very rewarding way to give back to the community and to use the business skills he learned at BC and in his work experience to help people live their dreams of being in business.

The 55th reunion in June was enjoyed in person by Faith Brouillard Hughes, Margaret Glynn, Maria Vitagliano, Anne Caswell Prior, Barbara Gada Wells, and Marianne Ciuffo Stineman with her husband. It was a good time to chat and catch up. Faith and Margaret also shared a BC dorm room with two other NC younger grads. Margaret said “it was fun being back in a girl’s dorm again,” which allowed even more time to visit. On Sunday some came back and joined the other 12 NC classes at the reunion for the annual Mass and time to remember our deceased alums. NC ’67 has 26 on that list. • Paula Lyons, Maureen Daley Young, Kathleen Hegenbart, and Christina Crowley got together in the Berkshires for a belated mini reunion in mid-June. Coming from Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and California, they rented a beautiful house in West Stockbridge for four days and spent time reminiscing and catching up while they cooked, hiked, pampered themselves with a spa day, and enjoyed Bonnie Raitt at Tanglewood. They found it a great way to re-energize and, in their words, “the best way to reconnect with friends is when you're cooking a meal together and sharing a bottle of wine.” • Marcie Cormier Clarke sent in a solid recommendation for a new musical, Anne of Green Gables, based on the novel by L. M. Montgomery. She and her husband saw it at the Goodspeed Musical Theater in East Haddam, Connecticut. • Connie Murphy Hughes has a granddaughter graduating high school, now en route to BC. The oldest granddaughter is already a student at Holy Cross. Three grandsons are in middle and high school and a fourth was born in September 2021. Connie will be busy with their school and athletic events for some time to come. Luckily, she can get out of work–yes, she is still working–to attend their events.

In the most recent Boston College Magazine (Summer 2022) it was erroneously reported in the Class of 1967 section that Richard F. Powers III (“Dick”) had passed away. This was most regrettable as Dick, a former Boston College Trustee and president of the Morgan Stanley Client Group, is living in Palm Beach and Cape Cod, remains active with BC, and is a professor at The Naval War College where he teaches “Business Perspectives for Military Leaders.” • Anne and Gerry Baker give the Baker-Arrupe Lay Scholarship to a student BCSTM yearly. The foundation helps advanced students realize the goal of theology-based service. They must demonstrate intellectual prowess, financial need, volunteerism, and plan to enter a service profession. In 1998, the first recipient approached the late Robert Manning, S.J., to advise him that she did not have the tuition to finish her final year, having cared for her Dad who had cancer. Fr. Manning had great news. She had been chosen to be the first recipient of the unknown and un-applied for Baker-Arrupe Scholarship and would return without financial obligation. • Peter Ciampi hosted a group of his 1967 classmates. Boston College is very special to Peter because his family has seven screamin’ Eagles! The alumni Eagles started with a visit to the BC McMullen Museum which is housed in the former cardinal’s residence at 2101 Commonwealth Avenue. At the entrance stands the original BC Eagle. Next was visiting a French restaurant. They all enjoyed an outstanding meal, but the best part was just catching up with each other. In attendance were Janet Rogers, Kathleen (Harrington) Bell, Lynda Butt, Joe Hill and Allison Chase, Bill Gavin, Bill Sandberg, Ken and Mary Ellen Tucker, and John Crowley. It only took a few moments and we were back at the round table in McElroy Commons. • Charles and Mary-Anne Benedict have recently been to a number of wakes and funerals of classmates. At Jack Gurry’s wake, they met with Mary Kane, Paul Galvin, James “Fuzzy” Selvitella, John Keenan, Roger Croke, Sal DiMasi, and Gene Canty ’68. It was followed a few weeks later by Pat Keating’s (wife of Jack Keating) passing. Attending were Cindy and Al Butters, John Hart, John Casey, Harry Gallagher, Ed Minor, Len Doherty, Peter Marto, Marty Paul, and Don MacDonald. While it was good to see so many classmates, it was for a sad reason. • JoAnne Regan Frey Howland, who earned her BS in Nursing and her PhD in Education from BC, has passed away. She was a professor of obstetrical nursing at both the University of Hawaii and BC, as well as a professor of nursing at UMass Boston. She was predeceased by her two husbands, Donald Regan and Albert Frey. • Bob Hamilton still resides in Arkansas, but after losing his first wife in 2016 and undergoing cancer surgery and radiation treatment in 2016 and 2017, he reports that he recently celebrated continuing to be cancer free, becoming a great-grandpa, and, best of all, celebrating three years of remarried bliss with his wife Catherine in their new home in Rogers. Bob and Catherine both enjoy photography. Each has had their photos used on calendars dedicated to preserving covered bridges. • The Class of 1957 55th reunion luncheon had over thirty classmates breaking bread together. Attending were Charles and Mary-Anne Benedict, Al and Cindy Butters, Don and Kelly MacDonald, Joan and Vin Iacono, Carolyn Whooley, Paula Edmonds, Mattie Keaveney, Liz Kudzma, Marty Kane, Roger Croke, Bitsey Kelley Smith, Janet Crimlisk, Carol Genereux, David Gay, Rob Wilde, Jack Keating, Tony Tortorella, John Keenan, Fuzzy Selvitella, Bill Marshall, Bob Galibois, Jack Lambert, Marty Paul, Roger Keith, and Jim Peters.

Jeanie Sullivan McKeigue died in March after a courageous 18-year battle against mantle cell lymphoma. A private family Mass of Resurrection was celebrated earlier in the year in the Newton Chapel. At the celebration, photographs of the significant adventures and events in Jeanie’s life were displayed. Prominently shown were pictures of Jeanie’s Newton years. Joe, Jeanie’s caring husband, thanked all for their friendship and support while mentioning that Jeanie’s wonderful obituary printed in The Boston Globe had been written by her niece, Dominica. • Please remember in your thoughts Marcy McPhee Kenah, whose husband, Larry, died unexpectedly in June. • Margaret Connorton Reilly, her four daughters, and their families vacationed together in Jackson Hole. Margaret’s grandson, Ryan Schaefer, started his freshman year at BC this fall. Ryan’s dorm assignment is on Hardy first floor. Could it be 104 where Margaret and Kathy Hastings Miller roomed together as freshmen 58 years ago?

He sold it to his partners over a 12-year period and left the business at the end of 2021. Retirement means more time to spend on three charitable boards: Essex County Habitat for Humanity, Essex County Community Foundation, and Edgewood Retirement Community and more skiing, sailing, and golf with kids and grandkids. Couldn't convince either of our children to attend BC. Alex is UVM class of 1995, and is a political consultant in Honolulu. Katy is Yale Class of 1998 and president of Study Point, Inc.

The Honorable Joseph M. Navin died at his Marlborough home on April 27, 2022. Joe had an extensive career in public service, both in elected and appointed offices across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
