1966

In contrast to last month's dearth of news, Christmas has just fallen in terms of notes sent in by fellow '66s-in fact there's so much that I may not be able to fit everything in this month's column. But keep the news coming, I'll need it next month.

I received a reprint of an interesting article in Kodak's Studio Light magazine, in which Wayne Hill is interviewed. Wayne, you may recall, was responsible for the backdrop photography for one of the displays relating to Robert Frost's poetry when we were undergraduates. Since then he has launched a career in photo decor work. The extensive interview illuminates Wayne's work as artist and businessperson. He has won several awards in Maryland, including "Photographer of the Year" four times, and has received the national award from the Professional Photographers of America.

Other news briefs sent in include a release on Peter Dunn, who has joined Korn/Fairy International as vice president of administration. Prior to this appointment, Pete had been administrator for the Los Angeles city municipal court system, and he has occupied several posts in the Los Angeles city and county attorneys' offices since his graduation from Southern California Law School in 1969.

Graeme Bell is a partner with Crowell and Moring in Washington, D.C., specializing in government contracts. His wife Claudia is a "big shot" in the United States Office of Personnel Management, which means she works and he plays, which is no different than what he was doing 15 years ago. But seriously, folks . . .

Western New England College in Springfield, Mass., sent two news releases which involved fellow classmates. Bill Ferris was appointed assistant dean of the Business School after serving as a visiting assistant professor of management and principal of Longmeadow High School. And Richard Macartney received a J.D. degree earlier in the year. Dick also has an M.B.A. from Tuck School.

Henry Wollman dropped a line, giving his whereabouts as a senior designer for Haines, Lundberg, and Waehler in New York. Henry and his wife Evan (Barnard '65) have two children, Lily, three, and Kate, two. Henry got his master's in architecture from. Yale in 1971 and asks, "Where are Larry Herbst, Peter Gorday, and Terry Lee '65." If you care to write Henry, guys, his address is 600 West 115 th Street, New York, N.Y. 10025.

Jack Lewis reports from Denver that he is a partner with the law firm of Ireland, Stapleton, and Pryor, specializing in corporate securities. His wife Jackie is an instructor at Colorado Women's College, teaching women's history and working on a doctorate in the same field in Boulder. Their son Jonathan, born last July, has already been enrolled in the class of '03.The newborn column also includes Kathryn Margaret Zuhr, born last July to Ken Zuhr. Ken is a software instructor for a small firm in Gilroy, Calif. Pete and Nancy Hargraves in Darien, Conn., also recently'had a new addition, Elisabeth. Pete is the general manager of Connecticut Bank International on Wall Street.

Probably the most surprising note was a wedding invitation I received somewhat after the fact from Pete Dorsen, who married Sue Kosmoski in Minneapolis last August. Pete practices medicine and Sue plays the flute. Pete is 37 and Sue is 26. All this means is that there is still hope. Congratulations, Pete!

Bruce Berger wrote that he had an interesting cruise last summer on the Black Sea visiting clinics in Bulgaria, Turkey, and Greece. Bruce practices dermatology in Hopewell, N.j

Last spring we noted that several of our classmates have taken to the hinterlands and adopted rural, if not pastoral, life-styles. In the spirit of Christmas, I thought it would be appropriate to quote a couple of lines from Taylor Ollmann, who has retired to the Texas hill country- Taylor, having forsaken the academic and insurance worlds, is now working for himself, trading on the stock market. "The hours are not bad, the boss understanding, the Texas hill country beautiful. ... I enjoy having time for the •wife and kids, for enjoying the lake, and for watching that family of deer eating in my backyard just now." There are no deer in my backyard, just snow. Most of us do not have our own lake, but maybe some trees.

But whether we are urban or rural, it is a good time for reflection on the year we are ending and the Christmas season we are in. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
