I didn't go to Belknap College, but I feel like I did! Our old homestead was the focal point of many of its students, some living with us for a period of time, and I was truly saddened to hear from my daughter, Sherry, that Mel had died. He was very close to the Molburg family while he was a student, shared an interest in our sled dog activites (he waxed the sled runners on a Laconia racing sled which contributed to a top placing in that race and with his peers, created a snow sculpture of Charlie Ned (a native Athabascan Indian from Alaska who was adopted by our Belknap friends) with a sled dog for the Laconia race, and he and my husband Dick shared many lively discussions in our home related to the times. There's so much more I could write about Mel and our warm association with so many of the other students, but the purpose of this note is to let you know that the members of the Molburg family share his family's and his friends' grief.
Sincerely, Cynthia Molburg

James Apicella - Passed away in 2000
Alan Parys - Al Parys, went to Belknap. He graduated in 1972. He passed away of esophageal cancer in 1987. I worked at The Fish Dish in Laconia and he and his buddies, Pat Voorheis, Vinnie Dreeland, Art Anderson, Doug Fredericks would come into town for a bite to eat. My friends and I formed friendships with these great guys. My friendship grew into a marriage, three beautiful children and sixteen wonderful yrs before cancer crept in. He lived at Rains House. We met with the Brendans at Baker House (I even had my picture taken with the Jug Band!!!! loved it) I have remarried. I can honestly say I had many many wonderful memories at Belknap... dorm parties, meals at Longwoods, sports events, concerts (Jonathan Edwards was awesome!!!), so I really want to play a small part in this wonderful reunion as Al loved this college very much, as I did... many good teachers, staff, friends and memories.
