Although rain washed out the traditional alumni parade, Marion Coppelman Epstein '24, of Boston, and Philip Keene '25, S.M. '40, of Middletown, Connecticut, the two oldest alumni present, were publicly honored and had seats of honor on the stage. They turn 100 within four days of each other in October. (John Heagan Eames '22, of Boothbay Harbor, Maine, who had led the parade for three years in a row, died in May.)
