January/February 2016.
Lee Scarbrough, Rob Edwards and Tom Cooch report enjoying a reprise of their summer of ‘67 over the weekend of September 18-20.  After graduation, Lee, Rob and Tom, along with Tom Brudenell (who couldn't make the mini-reunion), spent the summer racing Wianno Senior sailboats at various yacht clubs around Cape Cod from a base in the Scarbrough home in Harwichport.  The reunion get-together, which included Jacquie Scarbrough and Marilyn Edwards, was in the same house and also focused on sailing, but this time the boat was
Daydream, a 31 foot yawl that Lee labored for 7 years to build by hand in his workshop. 
Perfect weather, good company and shared memories left everyone looking forward to the upcoming 50th and a chance to reconnect with other classmates. 
Herbert “Buzz” Waterhouse of Taos, New Mexico traveled the county in a $500 van and finally ended up on a dirt floor on Hondo Mesa in New Mexico.  For more than three decades Buzz was the longtime proprietor of the Alley Cantina, which he and his wife Ruth bought in 1996.  He liked to be in charge and noted “bartending is a dance. And if you’re good at it, it can be a lot of fun.” Buzz was a brother of Pi Lambda Phi, earned a degree in history, spent time as a professional tarot card reader, supported local musicians, and found a love for flying small aircraft. In June, he died from injuries sustained when the ultralight plane he was piloting crashed near the Taos Regional Airport.  A memorial video (Buzz --the real deal) celebrating Buzz's life was produced by James Cederlof - Tymely Productions at The Alley Cantina in Taos New Mexico. Many of Buzz’s extensive Hawaiian shirt collection were sold as a fundraiser at a yard sale for Stray Hearts, an animal shelter. Buzz is survived by wife Ruth and daughter Chani.
