Cary and I were pleased to be able to host the George Washington Class of '65 planning committee meeting last Saturday. At the end of that meeting, I expressed my concern that there seems to be a cloud hanging over things because of a misunderstanding that occurred many months ago. I was gratified by the outpouring of heartfelt expression, as one person after another said that they felt badly about how things had transpired. The feeling in the room was that we all wanted to heal and focus on planning the 70th birthday party, and to put the difficulties behind us. Kent, Gene, and I met, and Gene assured us that he has put the incident behind him. While he is backing off from any more planning committee participation, he is looking forward to being with us at the 70th next summer. So I just wanted to let everyone know of the warm and positive feelings that came out of our meeting last Saturday. We want everyone to participate as much as you can, so that the 70th will be a continuation of the many successful events we have had over the last fifty (did I say fifty?) years. My best to everyone, and I look forward to seeing you at the next party.
