1963

Class thespians keep getting into my act. As a change of pace from Mike Moriarty, we present this month Steve Macht whose professional acting career has been "building slowly" (he says in a letter) over the past four years in New York City. He writes that "Things seem to be opening up."

To wit: Last summer, he took over the lead in the off-Broadway, Obie-winning play, WhenYou Comin Back Red Ryder? He also has done more than a dozen television appearances and is featured in CBS's first revival of the Playhouse 90 series in which he plays the role of Barry Dahlquist opposite William Shatner and Ossie Davis in The Tenth Level (possibly called TheProject).

Steve meanwhile is the only American actor invited to participate in this season's Stratford (Ontario) Shakespeare Festival. While Suzanne and young Julie, Ari and Gabriel watch, Steve will be playing all of the young male leading roles: Orsino in Twelfth Night; Claudio in Measure for Measure; Dunios in Shaw's SaintJoan; and Proctor in Miller's The Crucible.

Entr'acts, Steve finds time to do commercials (Orange Plus, Dubonnet, Crest) and serve as assistant professor of drama at Queens College, teaching acting and dramatic literature, as well as directing college productions. Bravo, Steve.

Ken Foran, ex-Marine Corps, former Cambridge scholar, rated polo player, pilot and skydiver, is teaching courses in civil procedure, insurance and ethics at the T.C. Williams School of Law. Ken graduated from Cornell Law School in 1970, received a master's degree in public administration at Harvard the following year, and attended the Hague Academy of International Law at The Hague in 1972. Ken chose teaching, rather than practice, because it allows him to oontinue his legal research. His current project is an admiralty casebook.

"I see a lot of guys in private practice who have gotten bored," he told the school's newspaper. "The legal academic is the one person who can think objectively about problems." Whereas the lawyer is tied to his client and the judge to the case before him, the law professor can branch out, he says.

From a change of address card, I assume that Dave Halsted is now assigned by the Department of State to the U.S. Embassy in Maseru, Lesotho. If you know your geography, you know that Lesotho is an independent African state surrounded by the Republic of South Africa. Lesotho, in fact, was one of my responsibilities when I worked for the Peace Corps. Pat and i have a number of friends there, Dave, if you should run across Dr. Dan Phororo (probably in the Ministry of Agriculture), please give him' our regards.

Os Skinner '28 dropped me a note on John King who is still teaching English at Lawrenceville School after 11 years and also coaching soccer and aiding the admissions office.

Some news a bit yellowed on the edges: Dick Lewis is practicing law in Miami and is still an avid photographer. He and Micki have three sons, Sammy, Jonathan, and David.

Bud Bruggeman has moved his family to Laguna Beach, Calif., where he is in private practice as a radiologist. He, wife Ann and children Gretchen (four) and Kurt (two) expect to make the area their permanent home.
