1966

Weddings - the next happiest news event we are privileged to report (babies are, far and away, our favorite) - are back, in force, this month. Three cheers for Cupid!

Gary Jefferson and Dorothy Seavey were married in early September in Piedmont, Calif. Gary is a visiting professor at the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington. Dorothy, who, by dint of association, must be a very special person, is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Stanford. Jack Aley and Lorel Wilkinson were married on September 29 in Bowdoinham, Maine, where they're now living. And this month, December, Bob Cowden and Martha McCahill are to be married. Bob is a partner in the Boston law firm of Chaplin, Casner, and Edwards. Martha is director of revenue with the Executive Offices of Human Services of Massachusetts.

And - for a little dose of that very best of news - Mr. and Mrs. Richard Tufaro's second child, Edward Frank, was born on September 19.

Elsewhere: John Weaver, on the law school faculty at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Wash., is serving as a visiting professor of law at Western New England College School of Law. Bob Cleary runs a landscape business in Grand Junction, Colo., and ran in the Grand Junction Second Annual Media Marathon, clocking 3:42 on his 36th birthday his first time out.

George Bond, faculty-member-of-the-year at Fitchburg, Mass., State College in 1978-79, has been tenured and promoted to associate professor of biology. Bob Morgan is principal designer at McCarter Theatre in Princeton and is continuing his work at ACT in San Francisco. Watch for his February production of Historyof the American Film at ACT and his design for the new film Pilgrim, Farewell.

Tim Urban, Des Moines builder and city council member, is still glowing from Pope John Paul II's exciting visit. And Bill Garry reports from New York that, for the 13th consecutive year since graduation, he has "managed to avoid becoming rich and famous." He is, I trust, part of the great majority.

Walt Harrison has been appointed secretary for the Massachusetts chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Walt's a pediatrician in Peabody, Mass., has three children, and, from time to time, appears on the radio to discuss health topics.

And some closing political notes: Pieter VanDen Steenhaen was elected to a four-year term as mayor of Santa Monica, Calif., by his fellow city council members, and Mike Nadel is director of personnel for the City of New York. So if you need a job, or a surfboard, you know where to go.

Go first, however, to your mailbox to deposit your class dues, stopping to jot little notes on the back which get to me and, in turn, are rebroadcast for all. Also, don't forget to send back your cards reserving your space for our 15th reunion, June 13-15, 1980! Happy Holidays!
