For the third time in a little more than a year, members of the Great Class of 1969 living in the general vicinity of New York met to resume conversations that, in some cases, had been interrupted nearly 40 years ago by graduation. The occasion was once again prompted by Robert Clough's trip to New York for the annual Atlantic Salmon Federation dinner. Following the obligatory photo op in our apartment, the seven of us headed off to a prominent local establishment where we joined Steve Bisbee and Tom O'Gara and, to the consternation of the waiters, obliviously spent the following two and a half hours catching up on news.

Merrigan wins 8th District of Governor's Council
Greenfield attorney Thomas T. Merrigan's apparent victory in a three-way race for the local Governor's Council seat highlighted races around the region Tuesday night.
Merrigan, who in September edged out incumbent Peter Vickery of Amherst in the Democratic primary, defeated unenrolled Springfield attorney Michael Kogut and Republican Michael Franco, a Holyoke veteran's agent, for the two-year Eighth District seat.
"The governor has ignored western Massachusetts, and people understood that that was the message of my candidacy," said Merrigan, who served as presiding judge of Orange District Court for 10 years before stepping down in 2002. "I take it that people feel strongly that we need a better voice in Boston to meet our needs in the courts in western Massachusetts."
