Pat McCarthy (’44) writes that he and Patricia are looking forward to the 65th reunion. They celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary April 3rd. They won seven more gold medals in the 2008 Empire State Senior Games, competing in mixed tennis and mixed badminton, men’s tennis doubles, singles horseshoes and badminton. They hope to compete again in 2009. Pat still has his Nottingham Varsity block letter sweater and it still fits!
Tamara Rackson Lipson (’44) was surprised on an Elderhostel trip to Prague in May 2006, when she found that another member of the tour group was a Nottingham graduate: Stuart Lerman.
Pat McCarthy (’44): My wife Patricia and I have won many medals at the Senior Games at Cortland, NY, this year. It is hard to believe at the age of 81 it happens. Patricia will be inducted into the Greater Syracuse Sports Hall of Fame October 22, 2007. What a great education I received at Nottingham even though I had to make a bus transfer to get there. I was supposed to go to CBA.
Barbara Serlin Stern (’44) of Poughkeepsie, remembers her friend Marty Laforse, who died in May, 2007. She saw him at their 50th reunion of the combined ’44 and ’45 classes. “Much to my surprise, I learned that Marty was living right near me in Kingston, NY.” He was about to start teaching a class on jazz at the Center for Lifetime Study in Poughkeepsie. She signed up for the class and other classes he taught after that. She enjoyed his funny asides about Nottingham, Miss Bush, and Syracuse. Marty had been a history professor at Ithaca College, SUNY New Paltz, and a college in England. “He lived a full life, a loving father, grandfather and husband”.
Jerome North (’44), of Syracuse, died in January, 2007.

His wife of 40 years, Anne, died in April.
