On The<br />

Road<br />

Europe<br />

October 2011 – The Class of 1954 has been at it<br />

again! <strong>Brewster</strong> classmates and friends, spouses, and<br />

guests, shipped out for a 15-day Grand European<br />

Tour with Viking River Cruises this past October.<br />

Alumni on the trip included David Carlson ’54,<br />

Jean (Douglas) Orr ’54, Larry Thurrell ’54, husband<br />

and wife Stuart Stinchfield ’54 and Jean (Clough)<br />

Stinchfield ’59, Bob Harrington ’53, and Jack<br />

Reever ’60. Joining the group from <strong>Brewster</strong>’s Alumni<br />

Office was Beth Hayes ’81.<br />

Following the Rhine, Mein, and Danube Rivers,<br />

the cruise began in Holland and traveled through<br />

Germany, Austria, Slovakia, and ended in Hungary.<br />

“The sites and sounds, and the people and places<br />

were amazing, to say nothing of the cuisine,” Hayes<br />

reported. “The most unforgettable part of the journey,<br />

however, was how much this group of alumni and<br />

friends enjoyed taking this journey together. “<br />
