Irving Sheldon 40 Sheldon Street Providence, RI 02906-1016 (401) 521-6186 irving_sheldon@ProJo.COM You haven't heard from the Rhode Island contingent. I'll respond for both Metcalf and myself. Steve will be at the dinner, but I won't. Kay's and my daughter, Louise, is graduating from Pomfret School (great place, send your kids there, any of you that still have them) and Stephen, her uncle, is going to do both events even if it means speeding from Connecticut to New Hampshire. I have to stick around. Stephen is doing large Escheresque sculptures in a barn at his family's farm in Exeter, Rhode Island. He's getting them in a lot of shows, and has even sold a few. Other than that, he does beaver patrol. They're putting dams up everywhere. He and Eva are the parents of Krystyna, who's got a few years to go at Moses Brown School in Providence and Eva's sons Nick, a sophomore at Northeastern, and Michael, who has a job with a construction firm in Washington, following graduation from Georgetown. Kay and I live on Sheldon Street in Providence, where we've been for about the last 20 years. Our son Chris is at Landmark College in Putney, Vermont. Louise is headed for Hobart next year. I'm an editorial writer at The Providence Journal, and we spend a lot of time in Exeter as well, and I spend a lot of time working on my decrepit boat. Tucker will recall the impressive geysers that squirted up from the planking on our last visit to Padanaram. Hopefully, the radical keelectomy I performed with a sawzall has ameliorated that. I'm sorry not to be there with you all, but look forward to the 40th, which will be around soon enough.
