Tom Raymond
In many national dailies from the Albany Times Union to the Arizona Republic, from the San Jose Mercury News to the Florida Times Union (JAX), there’s a syndicated feature run once or twice a week in the Sports Section during baseball season: “This Day In Baseball History.” Several days ago, Monday June 21: “On this day (June 21, 1964, a Sunday that year) Jim Bunning of the Philadelphia Phillies pitched a perfect game against the NY Mets.” Of course, that’s 27 up, 27 down, as the Loveable Mets were still the Lowly Mets. (Bunning later became a US Senator from Kentucky.) Turns out, that day was the graduation afternoon of the Class of 1964. I wonder how many of my classmates remember that event! Finally, you probably know that when a full moon occurs on the Summer Solstice, the Native Americans knew it was time to pick berries under the Strawberry Moon. I wonder if Strawberry Polly knows that! tom 🙂

(Actually this Strawberry Polly DID know that!!!!! Thanks Tom!)

DOROTHY TAYLOR BUCKLEY CLASS OF 58
