Durke Thompson sent the following news on 8/3/06:

I attended the "Last Piccolo Inn Open" where I saw many old
time Bethesdans and a good number from B-CC including Mike Braddock, Gus
Smith, Butch McCarty, Tom Arata, Mike Reese, Chuck Wilson, Bill Bergfelt
and others.  The affair was played on June 16, 2006 at Worthington
Manor.  Tom Craven of the class of '59 was elevated to the Circuit Court
for Montgomery County awhile back.  Even though he is not of our class,
it might be of interest.  I played golf several times this summer with
Mike Trainer which gives the opportunity to talk over old times,
especially the B-CC years.  Unfortunately, we play we several guys from
Silver Spring and Blair and they get bored to tears when we reminisce.
On a personal front, my daughter Tisha, who is a reporter for WMAR-TV in
Baltimore is getting married in Jackson Hole, WY in September.
