You can read elsewhere about the cold, the chill, and the rain. Our class numbers are dwindling, but John Scott, Scott Baton, George McLaughlin, Lee Davisson, Ted Duffield, and Hugh Fairman were all spotted at Forbes. That’s not a bad showing for an off-year reunion of a class 68 years after graduation. Remember when we thought age 68 was old. It turned out that there’s more life to live after that. See https://tiger58.org website under “Pictures.” Better online than tiny, tiny in PAW.

This reunion was also the 200th anniversary of the Princeton Alumni Council. In recognition of that, past presidents of the association led off this year’s P-Rade. Senior among them was the man I consider Mr. Princeton, our own Dick Scribner. Dick served our class as President from 1978 to 1983, and he served the university in several leadership roles, including as a university trustee.

John Scott is a scholar of pre-Columbian art, and the new Art Museum has an excellent collection. In keeping with our times, the collection is displayed with a QR code for information. John enjoyed a breakfast Saturday morning with a talk by the director of the museum. In addition to pre-Columbian material on open shelving, there is also pottery by Native Pueblo Americans and Asians. Of relevance for us oldsters, there are comfortable lounge chairs around Antioch Roman floor mosaics.
