We’re in Kenmare on the west coast of Ireland for a Yale roommate reunion: Peter Giblin and Maritza (who were unable to attend our 55th reunion), Ed Massey and Ann (who organized the trip), Pete Putzel and Anne, Jim Shanklin and Carolyn, and Charlie Warner and Betsy. Over the four-day reunion, Massey and Giblin led us in sampling the available copious array of Irish whiskeys; the Warners and Shanklins led multiple shopping trips; Anne Putzel went on several horseback expeditions. Putzel and Shanklin played a soggy round of golf at the local course. All of us fondly toasted the memory of two deceased Calhoun roommates, Per Wickstrom and Ed Rehberger, and all of us craved the company of Bill DuRoss and his wife Ann, our one living roommate and bride who were unable to join us.
