July/August, 2002.
Last reminder to make your reservations for our reunion;  the 35th reunion 
will be October 17-20, 2002.  Bruce Pacht has organized a great get-together!  
Let Bruce know if you can join us.

One of the themes to be explored during reunion will focus on retirement.
If would be interesting to learn how many of us have been able to retire (or
get things in order to consider it).  What were the steps taken in the 
planning process?  Can the process be discussed with others?  Perhaps the
comments can be shared on the class web site.  Another theme will consider 
our losses which are approaching 50 classmates.  The Class of 1967 Memorial 
Grove at Occum Pond will be dedicated during reunion.  
 
Our class lost Harris Wagenseil to non-Hodgkins lymphoma in January.  In his 
remarks as chair of the Undergraduate Council in the fall of 1966, he spoke 
of the ideal: "man complete within himself and aware of that without himself." 
Harris showed how to be a scholar, athlete, and class leader.  He was a 
member of Alpha Theta/Theta Chi, Casque and Gauntlet, Green Key, and Palaeopitus; 
captain Track and Field; Senior Fellow; Phi Beta Kappa; summa cum laude; Rhodes 
scholar at Magdalen College, Oxford University earning a B.A. degree in politics, 
philosophy, and economics; JD from Harvard University (in 1972).  Harris served
as a trial lawyer, founding his own firm in 1981.  In 1983 he went into business
with Cummins Engine company and completed the MBA in Business Management 
from Wharton in 1985.  In 1989, he joined Union Pacific Railroad in Omaha, 
Nebraska from which he retired in 1997 as Vice President of Maintenance Operations.  
He moved to Austin, Texas to work as a railroad consultant and manage his computer 
services company Railcentral.net. He was active in many industry related 
organizations.  Harris served on opera boards in the communities he lived, including 
being the President of the Board of Opera in Omaha. He was a member of the Nature 
Conservancy of Nebraska.  He died at his home in Ware Neck, VA.  Harris is 
survived by his wife, Susan Clayton Wilshire; their five children: Galen Harris
Wagenseil, Whitney Guest Sisler, Jessica Eleanor Wagenseil, Katherine Wallis
Wagenseil, and William Harrison Wagenseil; his mother Patricia Harris Wagenseil 
of Palos Verdes Estates, CA, sister Gail Wagenseil Gelles; and cousin Taylor B.
Wagenseil '68.  We are all saddened by his passing.  Our sympathies to the
Wagenseil family!
