We have lost a good friend. Barney Pierpont passed away on February 5. 2025 in Payson, Arizona. I'm told he went to rest after feeling ill at breakfast and didn't awaken. Barney was a good friend to every one of us; he was always interested in our school, our class and his classmates and he went out of his way to maintain contact with all of us. For years he orchestrated an annual dinner that began with Tom Keating's departure for military service. Barney is survived by his wife Vicki, his two children John and Aimee and their children. He will be missed.
