Big Chill + 40

Scott Herstin hosted five fellow Davenporters —Ned Culver, Brad Davenport, Dave Howorth, Dick Tucker, Harry Wise, plus spouses and fiancées—for a week on Kiawah Island.

My report:

• Scott is living in Naples, FL, where he takes an interest in Everglades restoration and reads Randy Wayne White novels.
• Ned splits the year between homes in Charleston, SC, and Wayland, MA, and devotes his time to playing bridge and golf (both badly) and doting on his first grandchild, Luke, born last August.
• Dick lives in Shepherdstown, WV, and spends a lot of time at his newly renovated vacation home in the Alleghenies.
• Harry left New York to join his fiancée, Peggy Twohig, in Washington, just ahead of the COVID shutdown. He was playing trumpet in some D.C. community orchestras, but that is on hold now.
• I’m still in Oxford, MS, and I’m happy to report that I’ve become engaged to Sally Killebrew, whom many classmates met at the 50th reunion. We haven’t set a date yet; we’re hoping to await a time when classmates will feel safe to fly in for the hymeneal festivities.
• And Brad? He brought a ham.
