Jeff Breaks: I appreciated the Bexley Hall article in the Fall Kenyon Magazine - it brought back memories. In September of 1960, I, and about a dozen others, was housed on the 3rd floor of Bexley as an overflow dorm. We enjoyed ourselves there. We had maids that made our beds and tidied up (the last year for that!) and there were plenty of study rooms on the floors below. The walk down Middle Path, even in the snow, was not bad at all! There were bats in the attic and the ledges outside the windows provided a convenient way to get from room to room if you didn't want to use the hall. I took physics at Kenyon (before chips) and that provided me with working for 41 years in the aerospace and defense industries. I retired 17 years ago and began volunteering at the Mariner's Museum in Newport News, Virginia going through old documents and doing other people's taxes for free with the AARP TaxAide Program. I have also done 4 books on family ancestors and have 3 more to go. So, life is good even after Kenyon!! 

George Callaghan and his wife, Carolyn, moved from Annapolis, Maryland to Bozeman, Montana to be closer to their 2 sons and 3 grandkids. Patrick sells real estate in Bozeman and Michael is a movie producer in L.A. George is 80 but still plays tennis 4 times a week indoors and is finishing his fourth novel in his spare time.

David Newcomb: In appreciation of Michael Wood, (deceased) for Mike’s character and skill as a quarterback, I felt I should share a perspective that, likely, no else has.

In our freshman year, 1960, Mike and I competed for the job of Kenyon’s backup quarterback. Though our skills were closely matched, Mike won the competition, leaving me to wonder why. As it happened, we were also good friends, and it was while visiting his home in Lancaster, Ohio, that I found the answer to my question. 

On that day, in Lancaster, Mike was driving me around town to show me the sights. As we passed along Main Street, alongside a row of parked cars, I could not but notice – since I was sitting in the rider’s seat – that Mike was driving very closely to those parked cars. In fact, he was passing them so closely that I became concerned he would hit one. I brought this to his attention. Mike told me to relax; that he was doing this on purpose. Then he drove even closer, until I could no longer see clearance between our car and the parked cars. I looked over, but Mike appeared totally at ease. Reflexively, I drew my elbow and knee away from the passenger’s side door. When I told Mike he had no idea how close he was to colliding, he answered that he knew exactly how close he was, and, to prove his point, he then circled the block and did it again. 

I understood, then, how Mike had won the job as Kenyon’s eventual quarterback. The man had uncanny depth perception, steely nerves, and a very steady hand at the wheel. He went on to enjoy a fine career in football, and, later, in business.

Mike Reed reports that he has left the practice of law after a 52-year career and is attempting to follow John Capron’s admonition to not fail at retirement. Mike resides in the Lincoln Park neighborhood close to the DePaul University campus. He participates in several Chicago charitable organizations and currently serves as board chair of a 200 bed hospital foundation.

Lloyd Saltus: In going through family records, I discovered that I am related to Rutherford Birchard Hayes, Class of 1842. His great-great-grandfather was Timothy Phelps (born about 1705) from whom I am directly descended.
