In Memory
The class of 1957 has lost another member of the Springfield regional contingent. Tony Megliola died Nov. 28 in Portsmouth, N.H., where he relocated three years ago after spending most of his life in Springfield, where he ran a successful insurance agency for many years. During those years he maintained close friendships with Jim Connors ’57 and Preston Brown ’58.
Tony was an accomplished golfer, tough to beat on any course. He was an avid bridge player and won the Amherst duplicate bridge championship at least one year. According to the obituary in the Springfield Republican, “he took particular pleasure in teaching his grandchildren the intricacies of complicated card games, and he never let them win.” He was deeply involved in the lives of his three children and six grandchildren and enjoyed nothing so much as their company.
His former wife, Lois, a Mount Holyoke graduate, died about a year ago.
