Aug 2, 2008 This is Pat Ryan Stens. Does anyone know anything about Judy Merino or Phyllis Graglia? I would love to reconnect with them?
Hi Sun Aug 3rd is the Jethro Tull concert in Guilford. After 35 years I am making my return to the area. Who is going to the concert?
July 4, 2008 This is Gene again. I have information regarding Steve Tronec. Steve died in Vero Beach, FL on November 18, 2007 as was mentioned. He moved to Florida in 1994 after living in Woonsocket, RI. It's too bad we never hooked up since I worked in a town next to Woonsocket at that time. Anyway, he was married to Donna Tronec for 33 years and left daughters Pamela Rutte of Brockton, MA Dianne Rinehart, Vero Beach, FL, Mary Beth Tayes, Northbridge, MA and a son Brian Rutter of West Warwick, RI. The information was sent to me by the County Library in Vero Beach, FL. Rest in Peace Steve. We miss you.
July 3, 2008 Hi Biddy. This is Gene McCaffrey. I've gotten a little bit of info on Steve Tronec. I googled his name and there was a Stephen Tronec obituary that appeared in the Vero Beach Press Journal 11/20/07. I called them but the info I have is outdated so they referred me to the County Library and I've emailed them a request for a copy to be emailed back to me. It should take 2 weeks or so for me to get that info. The obit gave his age as 63 which would be right. I will keep you all informed. Gene.
6/30/08 Hi Gene. Thanks for the update, and please tell me it ain't so! A strip mall!? I guess that although we are inundated with them here in Seattle, I had hoped that "Centa Harbour" would be safe from strip malls and tourists. At least the memories we all share are safe from both. For me, my memories help to soften the sadness I experience when I suffer the loss of yet another friend. Too many, too soon. I guess I shouldn’t have asked the questions if I wasn’t prepared for the answers. However, the new reality does seem to solidify my Belknap memories. What can you tell me about the mansion on the hill? (Anne Schroeder Van Hove)
6/24/08 This is Gene McCaffrey '68. Anne, I believe that Raines House was torn down to make way for the strip mall. Harper House burned down a few years after I graduated. I was with Jay Lavers a few weeks ago and we also wondered about Steve Tronec. We would also like to know about him too. It's really beginning to hurt that so many of us from that time, classes of '67, '68 and '69 are leaving us. Age is starting to really creep up on all of us! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
6/22/2008 Did Raines House, as well as the next house, burn down? Or did they burn down at all? I see no mention of them, and I lived at Raines house. As long as I'm asking questions, what is now occupying the mansion since the Red Hill Inn is no longer alive? Thanks for the update, Anne (Schroeder) Van Hove
6/21/08 This is Biddy Irwin asking if anyone can tell me more about Steve Tronic's passing and if he had family so I can send a note. I have thought about him a lot and wondered where he was and what he was doing. Thanks. You can reach me at peteandbid@nhvt.net
6/11/2008 - Mike Love passed away today. Please visit his page in the Alumni profiles
5/31/2008 - Mick Terrone - I had the privilege of working for Joe for 3 years as my work-study job at Belknap. Joe was a tremendous PR director and an integral cog in the administration. He thought like a young person but with the perspective of an open-minded businessman. He was at his best during the Greens for Graduation campaign and worked hard on all of the college's development campaigns. His sense of humor was incredibly sharp and I have no recollection of him in a bad mood. He was a WWII submariner but you really had to dig to get him to talk about it. I'm greatful to have had a few moments with him at the recent reunion although it hurt to see him physically ill. He was a big part of my very happy experience at Belknap College and I will miss him very much.
5/14/2008 - I was saddened to learn that Joe Macozek died over the weekend. Joe truly loved Belknap College, it's students, faculty and employees. It was great to see him at the last reunion. He was an inspiration to many of us who knew him. Rest in peace, Joe. Please visit the Notice for Joseph Thomas Macozek.

11-8-07 - JBM - There are quite a few great pictures from the recent reunion posted on this site but I know there are many more that you have taken that you have yet to post or send. PLEASE LET'S SEE YOUR PICTURES!
11/1/07 - Happy Halloween and Reunion to all Belknappers (Belknapians?). I went to Belknap for a couple of years,(1970-71)a great time in my life. I am thrilled to see this site, and even just bought a couple of Belknap polo shirts. I looked through the reunion photos and saw some people I knew from the old days. (Nina Costa, Linda Weinberg and others). Sorry to see the news about Halleck...a good guy. I did not see any mention about the two dorms I lived in at Belknap, so wanted to mention that (Richard and Dorothy) Caldwell House was also a small dorm. As far as I know the Caldwell House roster included Dwight Elliott from New Jersey, Bruce Blomfield from Connecticutt, and Danny Nardi and myself from Massachusetts. My friend Bonita Howland (who later married Belknap alumni Greg Dietz)also went to Belknap during those years and was ex-officio Caldwell House. I later dormed at the house next to Dane...Fenton House? As far as myself, I graduated from a Florida university and now am finally finishing my Masters in History at the University of South Florida in Tampa. I work there as VP of Technology. Happy to get any contact from anyone that might remember me at Belknap. My web site is awful :) and at www.jimmckenzie.net. Jim McKenzie
10/31/2007 - Happy Halloween to all! This Sally Meredith (Sara Nortrup). I have posted several photos from the reunion and I also posted the photo of Belknap gals under Memories 2. If anyone would like copies please email. The reunion was absolutely an incredible time. I had not been back to the area and lost touch with so many of you. I will not let that happen again and thank you all for being there. The saddest site was seeing that Kale House was gone. My mom used to summer there when it was the Old Garnett Inn with her family. They would come up from Philadelphia. She also attended Singing Eagle Lodge as little girl, which was where Bill Hovey lived. Does anyone know if he still lives on that property? Or who does today? Center Harbor looks good after 30 years - a bit more upscale then the ole Belknap days - those days can never be topped though. Some highlights I have from the weekend are sitting with Frank while looking at the memorial letters for Faye Golder. Her sister had given Frank a couple of DVD's containing footage of Faye. She was a beautiful and talented person. I stayed at Rondi's for the weekend and we talked and talked til the wee hours of Friday and Saturday nights. Another highlight was seeing my old Biology teachers! Rodney and Nancy Jane - thanks so much for being there. I am still flying high from all the hugs and gregarious spirits.
10/30/07 - Sure sounds like I missed a great party. Can't wait to see more pictures posted. - Dave Warlik
10/29/2007 - JBM - Wow! The reunion this year was great. We had a nice evening at Canoe (Longwood) and then a fabulous afternoon Saturday. We were suprised by visit there from J. Paul Shenk, Nancy Jane Jackson and Joe Macozek. Even Cindy Molburg joined us. On Saturday evening at the Mug, we were suprise and happy to see that Ed Meskys had been able to join us. There were visits from many others and please forgive me if I neglect to mention you... My head is still spinning. Many people took pictures and we are going to have them on the sight very soon. Post them, send them to me, just help me get them on the site.
Tribute to Scott Moulton... There are many friends of Scott's who will be interested in this page:

9/22/207 - JBM - There are now over 70 people who will be attending the reunion party in October.... Many who will be attending, especially those still in the Center Harbor / Lakes Region, have not posted their intentions so we will probably see quite a showing at the Mug on Saturday evening. If you wish dinner, please let us know and be there before 8PM...

Halleck Brenden passed away on 7/25/2007... If you have any memories of Halleck, please post them to his profile page. http://www.belknapcollege.com/index.php/Main/HalleckBrenden
Gene,
Perhaps this is obvious...Most of of the White pages sites are "come ons." What these sites want you to do is pay for information, which isn't a bad thing only that in my opinion they deceive people into thinking information is free. For a modest fee (payable by credit card) of perhaos $10.00, anyone of these sites are likely to provide you with the information you want. They more than likely have it but won't give it to you without payment.

7/19/07. Hi I'm Gene McCaffrey'68. I am trying to locate Drew Cochrane who was the '68 class president. The last time I knew Drew and Linda Van were living in Georgia, but apparently moved to CT where he is origionally from. It has come to my attention that Drew is very ill and I need to confirm that. If someone could help me locate him I would greatly appreciate it. I did a "white pages' and I found an Andrew B. Cochrane in Ridgefield CT fomer address in GA. I believe that is he, but it did not list an address or phone number. If he is ill, I fell it's important that the Belknap family should come together and help to its best ability. Drew is and must certainly be one of the classiest guys I've ever known. And Van I'm sure kept him on the straight and narrow! Can anyone help me get his address, and if so, can you please e-mail me at gene_mccaffrey@yahoo.com. I would like to call them to let them know I am and we ae thinking of him. Thanks for all of your help. Gene
7-16-2007 - Just found the site and added my profile - I was cleaning out my folks house and came across some Hill Player stuff - programs etc. Will see about adding to the Memories section. I lived in Woodbridge House (71-72) on the 2nd floor - Alex Kasprack was my roommate for sophmore year. Dave Warlock was our RA - Lot of memories - ping pong table we all bought for the Commom Room, the antique spinet piano in the first floor hall? We really drove Miss Moffett to an early retirement...will see about the reunion in October - Brian Wagar
7-16-2007 - Don't forget about the reunion in October... Read further down this Message Board for details.
7-11-07 - Hank Weiner, Class of 1970. Hi everyone. I found this site during some down time at work and can't believe we can finally say hello! It would be good to hear from some of the old gang. I see Mike Shiner periodically and will be sure to let him know of this site. Anyone ever hear from Doc Taylor? I emailed Margo Cook Dutile and glad to hear how well she's doing. Hope to see you all soon, Hank
7/9/07 - Jim Mulligan.. On a visit to NH... Climed Rattlesnake on Friday and enjoyed a great view of Squam. Had a few beers with Tom and Sally Whalen. Tonight is a cookout at Mike Love's. Tom says Mick Terrone is visiting at the end of the month and wants to have a 220... Mick... we're into it!
6/24/2007 - Just a reminder... the next reunion / party is only 4 months away... the end of October... you should start to make your plans. I've already booked a flight and an auto rental...
6/10/2007 - JBM - Take a look at Henry Scarfo's profile page. There are some great old pictures on it and some new ones of Henry and his wife, Sam.
5/20/2007 - We have been working to correct the problems on the site. With luck, we have taken care of the bulk of it. FYI - We have traced the bug to a Comcast account in Mt. Laurel NJ and a proxy in France.
5/20/2007 - Dave - Our intention is to take loads of pix for the site. Joe Kaiser was brilliant last time and I expect that he will be equally enthusiastic this time. I will snap pix and encouirage others to snap and post. I guess that means you will not attend. We will miss you.
5/12/07 - I hope someone posts pictures after the reunion for those of us that will be unable to attend - D. Warlik
5/6/2007 - Well, Miles... Yes, you need to bring your diploma... others, eh... If you were to actually read the Message Board or even bother to post a profile and send an e-mail along as per the instructions on the Home Page... you would know all that!
This is Miles Snyder class of 73 I live in Portsmouth NH. When is the reunion? Do I need to bring my diploma to get in? Does anyone live in the seacoast area? I have become a real lush. Who wants to party?
04/29/07- Just learned that this site existed as a result of a call from Lars Peddersen who currently resides in Ft Lauderdale, FL. Haven't heard from or about him for 40+/-yrs. We (Mel & Tina Borrin) never left Center Harbor NH. It's been good to us and are currently enjoying 90% retirement. Was amazed to hear via this site that reunions still take place and we are interested in attending the next planned event on Oct.'07. If anyone has a general email list that is used to broadcast planned events, please add mel@lr.net- I promise to share with Tina. Life is Good! Mel Borrin '67
04/19/2007 On Christmas Day, 1974, I was driving through NH from Boston to Maine with a friend, Cherald. There wasn't a restaurant, food store or gas station open anywhere. We were starvin' so I said "Hey, maybe we can find somebody from Belknap to feed us!!" so we veered North. We got into Meredith but couldn't remember where anybody lived that we knew (or those we did were away for the Holiday). I recalled Thom Cahill had a little place with Dotty and the kids just out of town towards The Mug, so we headed that way and, recognizing his VW with the bicycle horn on top, knocked on their door. We were welcomed so very warmly and were then invited in to share their dinner. "We'll just cook another couple of potatoes!!" Well, we sat down to have a Goose dinner that couldn't be beat. I complemented Dotty and asked where they got such a fine goose. She rolled her eyes toward Thom, he squirmed a little, grinned like he always did and said that the goose was compliments of the Dean, Carl Marshall. Curious, I commented that I knew Marshall had been instrumental in getting geese to settle in at the old pond on Campus. Thom said "Marshall doesn't know his goose is our dinner". Ed Reville '71
04/07/2007 This morning in the New Haven Register (CT), one of our fellow classmates, Faye Golder passed. She apparently had complications from a brain tumor. A sad loss at 55 years young. Faye will be buried in Massachusetts.

BIG NEWS!!!
Judy Karr and Mona Phillips have been working to put together another reunion party....
They have sugested dates of Fri. & Sat. Oct 26 & 27, 2007. They have contacted the Canoe (Oct 26) and the Mug (Oct 27) and are trying to get Joe Drukas to play once again. This will be just about the same weekend and locations where the last party.... Oct, 2005, was held. It was great fun then and it should be even better this time as we have more time to plan and more people to contact.
Judy and Mona put a great deal of effort into making the last party a great success and they have already started to work on this next effort. It would be great if others would volunteer to assist. Give them a call or an email. (You can find their info on their profiles on the Alumni List)
If anyone knows a reason why we should change the dates or locations, please let it be known. This Message Board is a good place to add your thoughts.
If you are sure you will attend and want to have dinner at the Canoe on Friday or the Mug on Saturday, let Judy or Mona know as the restaurants will need a head count to plan a smooth dinner service. DON'T WAIT UNTIL OCTOBER TO LET JUDY AND MONA KNOW!!! The sooner the better. I think both restaurants were a bit overwhelmed and suprised at the turn out last time (Oct, 2005).
PS: I got this note from Judy.... The Mug & Canoe both said they would like a count as it gets closer- I was thinking by Fri. Oct 5th. Judy
January 6th,2007 Happy New Year to All-To Maryellen Talunas- I have used the e-mail address you provided and e-mailed several times. Hope to hear from you soon. Gayle DeSimone

Mick Terrone - To all - I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday. And special thanks to Jim M. for doing such a great job with this web site.
Mike Sehl again, okay, Dane/Kahle, it's been a long time. Maybe a campus map would help. I know the dining hall served swordfish on friday nights ostensibly because either Dr. Frye or Dr. Brigham liked swordfish. I also got to drive those big green school buses back and forth up the hills to class and back. And Art Edgar with his campus police car. drlunderville, so which building were you RA for in 66 and 67?
From 1968 to 1972 two buses made the on the hour trips up the hill. The old bus (the sign on the front of ther bus by the door read "All Steel Safety Bus Built Exclusively by Wayne) was driven by Ralph (had an Italian last name that I was never able to pronounce or spell). This bus was slow going up hill. The new bus (a Superior brand rig) was uisually driven by John Grasse. The new bus was used for out of town althletic trips and Ralph was usually the driver. I'm sure there must have been other drivers who made the daily milk run up the hill but I can't recall names of faces. I made that up and down trip so many times over four years I had every curve and bump memorized. During the winter, the worst section of frost heaves was at the crest of the 25B hill by Dr. Dane's house but there were other rough areas. Ralph drove his bus with elan and on the way down hill I often wodered if we wouldn't sail right past the statue in the center town square, through the old E.M. Heath hardware store, across Rt 25, and into the lake. It was rarely a routine ride when Ralph was at the wheel. John was a lot more circumspect with his driving and his rides were never quite as hair raising but he wasalways fun to talk with. Ralph would gun his bus when there were few guys in the rig and the rides down hill late in the afternoon were positively freaky. Even after I had a car, I would often park in town and take the bus up hill because the rides were rarly boring.
drlunderville - I suggest that a total class reunion be crafted for the memorial day weekend of 2007 before the summer season kicks off! many grads live in new england and can be accounted for
12/13/06- drlunderville -no mike, the dining room was in dane house next to kahle house-I was the RA in 66 and 67-remember the cook? ken with greasy black hair?
Indeed, the dinning hall was in Dane House. In the winter, the school installed a cover connecting the Kahle and Dane porches so it appeared as one structure. The food wasn't half bad as I recall. SAGA was the food service company in 1968 and that was taken over by Dan Fleetham I think in 1969. Steak on Saturday night was nice. Some of the meals I continue to make for myself. I always loved something they called "Lil'Abners"...a grilled slice of bread with melted cheese, a tomato slice, and bacon. I got my first intro to a salad bar in the Dane dining room. There was always great ice cream and extra rich chocolate milk (I cut it with regular milk the liquid was so thick). Yes, the food wasn't too bad at all. I loved breakfasts when I could get up for it and the weekend brunches were nice too.
Thanks for posting the Weir Times links Jim. I enjoyed the articles.
Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving and happy holiday to all!
12/13/2006 - Mike Sehl, Phoenixville, Pa. I read the Wiers times article, good beginning. Not all of us were draft dodgers, I always described my classmates in '65 and '66 as having been thrown out of some of the best schools in the country and some, like myself who didn't take high school academics seriously. I eventually received a draft notice in 1967. I was in Kahle house with some great people, many of whom I can't remember but there were Charlie Holmes (now in Maine) Flip Felice (New jersey) Peter Ianello (from the big apple), JC from trenton, NJ, Rogelio Gonzales (from Habana) and lots of others. I was "Proctor of Kahle house in the fall of 1966, but I was not mature enough to do it properly (although we did have fun). Kahle house was were the Dining room was, so we knew what was cooking early. I always wondered what became of Mike Hahn (from Pa.). Some of my best memories are of the friends and good times at Belknap and New Hampshire. Hi to Maureen Taylor, Judy Brown and if anyone knows Patty Terris, tell her I did grow up some. I hope there is another reunion up there in the future. Merry Christmas and Happy Hannakah to all. I'm in the phone book at Valley Forge.

12/12/2006 - The following cryptic message sent me on an internet search... I did finally come upon the Weirs Times, but the last article was about Harl Pease of Plymouth, the WWll hero for whom Pease AF Base was named... A further search found that on pg. 13, an article by Mal Fuller, Rambling Through History, is about BC. It is a two part article, starting Nov 23... Go to http://www.weirs.com/archive2006.htm and download the 11/23 and 12/7 issues and look for Mal's articles.

I would love to hear from anyone who has fond memories of that gret place. My e-mail is gailie783@hotmail.com
10/27/06 Greetings everyone!! Jim, I saw your post from August with my name in it as being lost. My name is Gail Hannotte Guillet, class of '72. E-mail is geegee4@aol.com Would love to hear from anyone. I just got out of the hospital/nursing home after 2 1/2 months, after suffering a small stroke. I'm home now still recovering. So sorry I missed the reunion last Oct. I would have gladly been there had I only known about it.

10/18/06 - Just found this web site. It is great. I recognized a lot of the pictures and the people. I tried to put my name on the alumni list but couldn't figure it out-guess I was never a good student. The mug was built and run by Stewart Paquette and David Piper. David was my husband. I remember, you couldn't even stand up with a drink in your hand and I was always being asked to leave cause I was too young. Leslie Woods Piper
9/27/06 - Roger Werner - Of course Richard I am sorry to have forgotten you. Besides Warlick that first floor was a total blank. You were in my room from the year before. Bob Sullivan "Sully" he was from Brooklyn. 1969-70 he had this tiny motorcycle (something like an 80 cc Yamaha) that we pretty much destroyed jumping dirt mounds out at the city dump. I got my first ticket on that bike for riding it without a license. I was desparate suffering as I was from an abcessed tooth. I had no car and Sully lent it to me to drive to Laconia and a dentist. I got caught after the root canal and spent a coupleof hours in the Laconia jail. I can attest to helping get his bed on the roof BUT I never nailed his door shut! Someone did that to me (I dismantled the door and much of it ended up on the first floor my Mrs. Moffet's door. She had a fit. Oh the stuff we pulled. Mike Iantosca's bed was frequently on the roof 1970-71. Poor Dave Coty...one day he made the mistake of telling us his girlfriend was coming to see him so we tied him to the big tree in front of the dorm and just left him there. He was a good sport about it although he girlfriend thought we were all nuts (she was quite correct). I'm picturing Richard now---wore glasses with black frames I think. It amazes me that I can hardly recall my children's birthdays and ages but I can recall things from 35 years ago as if they occurred last year. 1970-71 we thought it would be a grand idea to collect all of the signs from the various Belknap dorms. We managed to collect quite a few and then we sort of got bored and nailed them to our commons room wall. They were gone within a day...Mrs. Moffet was not amused and called campus police who wanted to know who took the signs. I seem to recall they asked Mackrel and Warlick (the dorm proctors) but the line of questioning was a dead end. The two of them were also much too sly to actually participate in our collective nefarious deeds but they sure did enjoy the collective fun and never spilled the beans. Mrs. Moffet actually tried to take my college ID once (someone had already taken it). Frankly, with all the driving under the influence trips we made I'm surprised I survived my four years at Belknap but then it never ceases to amaze me that I managed to live as long as I have.
9/21/06 Richmond Knapp
I doubt I could reconstruct Baker House as well in '68...
9/21/06 - Mulligan - And I thought I had tales from Baker House...
On the first floor I roomed with a guy named Larry Janney. In the room beside was Mark Silver and Alan Mazoff... There was also a room in the corner and I can't remember who was there.
On the second floor was Ed Kurilla (sp) , Mark Hayes and Pete Pierce... Ted Nichols, Jim Neufel and Joe Morin, the little room at the top of the stairs... did Jack Margerison live there in 68 or 69?
Andy Massell and Lance Rudger had a room on the third floor.
I think I can remember '69 a bit better...
The first floor is a blank...
The second floor was Frank Marks, Jan Sterling and Alfedo Sisson (his father was Ferdinand Marco's personal physician...) Greg Hausch and Richmond Knapp were across the hall and I think someone else was in that room.
I can't remember the corner but A.J. Margerison was at the top of the hall. A. J. introduced us to Mogey...
I was on the top floor with McComb Sinclair and Neuf and Nichols shared a room beside... When McComb left I got Dave Singer as a roomy...
Oh, yeah, on the first floor was Ray Tartakoff
Back to the top floor.... Mark Kleinberg had the top room... And Steve somebody was also on the third floor.... Charlie Call was also there... or was that '70...
9/18/2006 Rich Detommaso During that time I was across the hall from Miss Moffet on the first floor and if I remeber correctly on the second floor by the fire escape was a guy named Sullivan from NYC. It seems his bed would find its way to the fire escape and his door and window would be nailed shut weekly.
9/15-06 - I seem to have lost my first post so I'll repeat what I can recall...In June Dave Warlick wanted to know the names of former Woodbridge House residents. Here are some other names. Dave lived on the first floor in back of the bar. At the top of the second floor stairs, Robert (Mackeral) Caddock and Paul Shuffleton lived to the right and Mije Iantosca lived to the left. Across the hall on the right was Pancho Villa and Al Johnson (who we called Uncle Al the Kiddies Pal). Directly across the hall and at the base of the 3rd floor stairs from Panco and All was Greg Lis, Tom Stallman, and John Conahan (their room provided access to the generally roof over the front porch, which served as a sun deck in the spring and fall and a makeshift refrigerator in the winter). Around the corner from the second floor bathroom was Dave Doty and Wild Bill Caey. Charlie Ballard and a soft spoken fellow named Jeff were on the third floor. Mrs. Moffet lived on the first floor and there was a room directly across the foyer from her--can't recall who lived there in 70-71 but Jim McKay and I lived in that room in 69-70. I agree with Dave, the 70-71 group probably took 10 years off poor Mrs. Moffet. If there was a rule we did our best to break it! I didn't keep in touch with many of the guys from Woodbridge. Stallman worked for Penna Power for years at Three Mile Island and lived in his hometown of Birdsbore, where I suspect he still lives. Poor Tom never forgave us for seriously corrupting him! Greg Lis is in senior management in the garmet industry and lives with his wife in Sinking Springs, PA. John COnahan lives outside Ephrata, PA and is an Associate Professor of Psychology at Shippensburg State University. Paul Shuffleton (graduate of Exeter Academy!) was from New Hampshire and I can't imagine him ever moving but who knows?

7/10/06 - Nice to see another former Woodbridge House resident on the alumni list. Welcome Robert "Mackeral" Caddock. Bob & I were dorm proctors & at times I think it was like leaving the fox in charge of the hen house.
30/06/06 Dave Warlik,
I can remember a couple of Woodbridge House inmates from 1971-1972: Paul Shuffleton, Bruce Paonessa, Al "The Nut" Johnson, Al "Pancho" Villa, Paul Kitzing, Tom Borchers....and it's all a blank after that. But I haven't kept in touch with anyone, so can't help with any contact info - sorry. Poor Miss Moffet - I'm sure we took a good ten years off her life! Doug Forbes

PLAY 'NAME THOSE ALUMNI'...
Who are the Belknap people in the photos? How many can you name?
Go to the Memories section (click Memories on the sidebar) and look for the photos near the bottom...
Post your answers on this Message Board...
Use the label beside the photo to identify the picture... for instance, Group1050 or BBall01...
6/23/06 Dave W I've added a pic to the memories section. How many remember the Hill Players production of the
Hobbit? Don't remember what paper the picture was in.
6/22/06 Dan Fleetham Class 72 Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds correct address is 496 Canaan St.Canaan, NH 03741 E Mail fleethamdaniel@netzero.com
6/26/06 John Ekdahl--Vlad lets not get that started. 6/22/06 Vlad Wilhousky- John I always thought that it was Trefsger who did the " fat" thing.
6/22/2006 - Near the bottom of the Memories Page... Who is that in the Space Capsule?
6/22/06 Dave Warlik - Like Rich Detomasso I'd like to find other former residence of Woodbridge House.
Been searching the web for some but have not had any luck. Also does anyone know what happened to
Miss Moffett the house parent? I'm sure she's passed away now but am just curious.
6/21/06 Check out my profile and see a pic of me, my son Chase and his wife Kate. Photo was taken at the Marine Ball last Nov 10 2005 in Honolulu HI. Chase is now off active duty and has a job with the US Mint in Philadelphia as a Network Administrator. Kate has a degree in Criminal Justice from the Univ. of Scranton. They were high school classmates. I am so proud of them both. For me I am somewhat retired and involved with American Legion Baseball.
6/21/06 John Ekdahl '69 Mick: The "Wally" part came from my school of origin-Villanova and their legendary basketball guard Wally Jones, as for the "Fat" part I am continuing to search for its originator.
6/21/06 Mick Terrone '70 John: Very good. Butcher was a character. He was up in Center Harbor with a bunch of us a few years ago before he passed away.
The BIG question about nicknames, however, is who named you Fat Wally? That indeed sounds like Mogie. When Mogie's Rat Pack (which included Reynolds and Mike Love) harrassed you during pregame warmups in Ashland, it was hilarious. "Nice hair, Wally." "Hey Fat Wally, pick up your shirt and show us your pot"? Funny times.....
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
6/21/06 - Rod, Thanks for the correction. When she mentioned that she was the houseparent of the women's dorm... well, I jumped to conclusion... Jim Mulligan
Jim,
I don't mean to be picky but The Stephans's were house parents of the original girls dorm before the (other dorm) was part of the college. It was next door to the (other dorm) and is still standing. It has been moved to the corner and is part of the shopping plaza. Ellen and Earl Stephans were also students. I'm sorry I don't remember the names of the buildings. That was over 40 years ago. Wow!Rod Esley
6/21/06 Richard De Tommaso '71 Is there any info on the where abouts of anyone from Woodbridge House in the 1969-1971 time frame?
6/21/06 John Ekdahl '69 Mick, good guess but wrong Bruce. It was the late great Bruce Butcher who coined the name at Baker House in 1967. The original nickname was "bomb thrower" but was later amended to make use of Bruce Reynolds unique hairstyle. Is everbody in this story named Bruce? Have not heard from Mogie since he failed to show at my wedding 30 years ago.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
6/20/06 Mick Terrone, '70 Hey Honorable Wally, it HAD to have been your close personal friend Mogie who knicknamed Bruce "Bomb Sweep" because of his hair. Of course it was under the influence of alcohol. I don't think even Bruce Bell was "creative" enough to make up a knickname like that.
Have you ever seen Reynolds since 1970? Has anybody? For 4 years he never missed a Tales game; then he immediately disappears forever like Jimmy Hoffa. I've always wondered about Bruce being a minister. Somehow, I had trouble picturing it.
Vlad: I remember all Bruce's different Saabs and that his dad was a regional VP or some such thing. But I would swear that he was from CT. Maybe he'll turn up.
Hope all is well with youze guys.
6/20/2006: John Ekdahl: '69 Does anybody remember who nicknamed Bruce Reynolds "Bomb Sweep"?
Mickey; Bruce Reynolds was from Scarsdale, His father had a SAAB dealership which in the 60's was like selling buggey whips. I dont know where he is now. All the best to everyone. Vlad Wilhousky 70' vlad.wilhousky@smithbarney.com
6/19/2006 - JBM - Gail is referring to the Geocities List... both the Short's and Gail's info are correct as of this date on this site. The Geocities List is on the sidebar as way of helping us find people to get them on this site. When one enters a profile on this site I will try to make note on the Geocities list.
6/19/06 Susan (Sharples)Short and Maurice Short have a different address from the one listed. It is 250 Sheats Lane Middletown, De.19709 302-376-1083. gail
6/19/06- Gail (Mullen) Hines My address is different from the one listed here. It's 201-B Connemara Dr. Myrtle Beach, SC 29579 843-655-5807. My thanks to Kathi and Jim for all there hard work getting the old list together. Gail
6/17/06 - Tom Good '73: there is no Belknap College network on myspace.com as there is for every other school. Follow the links and you'll see that myspace is willing to add an unlisted school if enough requests are received. I have made such requests twice so far for myspace to include Belknap, to no avail yet. I am finding myspace to be a very useful networking tool. Would everyone here with a myspace get active and ask that Belknap be listed? Should other Belknap people who are "on the fence" sign up for myspace and do the same thing? Let us all know what happens? I'm at phantom33@gmail.com - thanks!
6/17/06 - Mick Terrone, '70; Thanks, Jim and Kathie, for getting the Geocities list cut and pasted on the sidebar. I hope everyone will take the opportunity to contact one or more of your old friends and tell them about this site.
One request: Has anbody seen or heard from Bruce Reynolds, aka, the Bomb Sweep, class of '70? He was from southern Connecticut (Wilton, I think). At a graduation party, The Bomb Sweep told me he was planning to get married right after graduation and become a minister. Seriously. I thought "Great, what a perfect way to minister to thousands of other Whales Tales players to find the right path in life." Never saw him again. Any help/sightings would be appreciated. ________________________________________________________________________
6/15/2006 - G. Blair Bauer, Class of 72; Jim got your letter today and just listed myself. Thank you. I am an antiques dealer and 2 months ago ran into Ray Ruchamkin at the Scott's Atlanta Show. Rekindled memories-and now this! Good work!
Don Downs class of 69 just got the letter from JBM this is a great idea i havent seen any of the old Belknap group for years the exception is Mike Marquis he was teaching in Ludlow but has now retired to France
6/10/06 Gayle DeSimone-I have several Northwind Yearbooks-'66,'71,'72,'73. If these are of interest I would lend them to someone more computer literate or try to scan them myself. Let me know.
Does anyone remember who put Dean Gardner's Saab on blocks while he was at Nina's house in 1970?
6/8/06 - Mick Terrone
Jim: I believe this is the URL for the Belknap Geocities web site. I think it was started by Kathi Emery back in the early 90's. But it seems to have alot of names, addresses, some phone numbers and some e-mail addresses. It may be worth trying to contact these folks. http://www.geocities.com/CollegePark/Field/2899/home.htm __________________________________________________________________
6/8/06 - Joe Tutrone
Jim , I will look for my year book - I can send it to you so you can scan it and then send it back to me .We moved to Ipswich and I am sure it is still in a box " somewhere " ? The message board is a great idea . If I could only get Frasca to figure out how to use a computer !
6/8/06 - Yeah, I had better make the instructions clearer...
6/8/06-Noelle Beinish This will be a great way to send news. I had to click edit first. I couldn't place the cursor besides the entry until I did that. After that the directions worked well.
6/7/2006 - Jim Mulligan
I placed a bid for a 1965 Belknap College year book on eBay yesterday afternoon and was quickly out bid. I was hoping to scan some pix and place them on this site. If anyone knows the bidder... or is the bidder... would he or she like to share it with the site... I'm not getting in a bidding war over a 1965 Northwinds...
6/7/2006 - Jim Mulligan
After Joe Kaiser reminded me, Dave contacted the web master for the Belknap College list at Geocities... There is a large list on that site and we were discussing ways to get those people to post on this site. I suggested to Dave that we get some volunteers to divide up the site and send post cards to the addresses on the sites, telling them about this site. There are probably a lot of people listed on that site with bad addresses... I know mine is bad and I can't figure out how to correct it. Anyone have ideas.
6-7-06 - Dave Warlik Class of 72
This is a great idea. I agree with Mick, I hope a lot of folks use this as a way to pass information to everyone & post news about other Belkanp Alum.
6/3/06 From: Mick Terrone, '70, Annapolis, MD
Hey Jim: The new Message Board feature looks GREAT! I hope lots of folks will be encouraged to use it to help find old friends and cronies.
