FINAL REPORT
OF HAWK GOLF III - GOLFING WITH A GOAL 
Beneath a sky somewhat overcast but gradually turning blue, thirty golfers, somewhat overweight and rapidly turning gray, participated in Hawk Golf III on Friday, August 4, 2006, at the Atlantic Country Club in Plymouth, MA. The event was a huge success both as a fundraiser and as a reunion. Treasurer and major domo, Tom Kelly, reports that total revenues were $17,130 and expenses were $3,287.50. Thanks, therefore, to the generosity of the Class of ’67, Hawk Golf III returned $13,842.50 to the Burma Border Project, enabling Dr. Jack McCarthy (“Hawk”) and his wife, Dr. Peggy Bacon to continue their work in the refugee camps on the Burma/Thailand border.
The golfers were Jack Avis, Jim Brett, John Brouillard, Matt Byrne, Jim Delehaunty, Jim Dyer, George Finley, Mike Foley, Michael Forhan ('71 and BBP Executive Director), John Gorter, Bill Hays, Phil Howe, Bob Jacques, Bob Kavanaugh, Tom Kelly, Bob Kelly (Yale ’37 and Tom’s father), Paul Kerns, Tony Kopec, Mike Lambert, Bob Lawson (’68), Bob Maldonis, Bill McCarthy, Jack McCarthy (somewhat), Jay McLaughlin (almost), Andy McElaney, Harry Mulry, Bob O’Keefe, Jim Reynolds, Steve Seery, Bill Tosches, John Tunney and Jim Wilson.
The official Hawk Golf III Photographer and Webmaster is Paul Keleher. Paul has established the HC Classs of '67 Website; the URL is www.HC67.org. Visit our new website for photographs of the event, as well as some notes and observations.
Joining
us for dinner were Peggy Bacon (Mrs. Hawk), Jim Callahan, Mike Chamberlain,
Ed Dufresne, John Comerford (Jay’s cousin), Chip Faulkner, Anne
Kelly (Tom’s spouse), Fran Kirby, Paul Lambert, Jim McLaughlin (Jay’s
cousin and ex-HC ’68), Benedict McLaughlin (Jay’s nephew),

too late to make a tax deductible donation. Visit the Burma Border Projects
