1959

Howie Munro is very successfully engaged in the private practice of internal medicine in Riverhead, N. Y. As he mentioned in our 25th reunion yearbook, he has also served as president of the medical staff of Central Suffolk Hospital, which is located in Riverhead, and as president of the Suffolk County Society of Internal Medicine. His wife, the former Estelle M. Isherwood, is a medical technician. The couple has three children: Howard Jr., a graduate of Southampton College; Michelle, a junior at the University of New Hampshire; and Bonnie, a high school senior. Howie says that although he hasn't seen any classmates since the big 25th, he stays in touch by mail with fellow '59 M.D.'s Bob Danielson,Bob DiMauro, and Gary Korenman. Speaking of Bob DiMauro, when last heard from, he was director of radiology at Kapioloni Children's Medical Center in Honolulu. He updates us with the welcome news that his son Chris is a member of the class of 1989.

J. Malcolm Swenson informs us that 1985 brought his election as president of Ameristone, a subsidiary of the Turner Corporation, with offices in New York City. Mai mentions that the company is renewing its activities in China, which he finds particularly interesting.

Carl Nelson is vice president and general manager of the manuals and business forms division of Commercial Printers/Lithographers in Darien, Conn. His daughter, Tracy Lynne, is a member of the Class of 1988. The Nelsons have moved from Rye, N.Y., to Fairfield, Conn., where their new address is 102 Roberton Crossing, 06430.

Bruce Mclnnes writes in his own inimitable fashion as follows: "After 21 years at Amherst College, and 48 as a New Englander, I have forsaken the Northeast to become a Northwesterner as head of the music department at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Ore.," which he claims is just as beautiful as it sounds. He says it rains a lot, but he doesn't have to shovel that, and there's no sales tax ("a swell surprise for a New Englander"). He describes his new surroundings as "a great place, the best kept secret in the United States." Bruce mentions that Bob Bailey is leaving the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N.Y., this year to become Petrie Professor at NYU, a position which Bruce describes as "a real plum and a top honor."

Howie Geiger Jr., who earned his M.B.A. at Columbia in 1967, left Merrill Lynch in February 1984 to join Hillman Ventures, Inc., one of the larger venture capital organizations. He moved with that organization in September 1984, to San Francisco, where he opened its Menlo Park office. Wife Melissa is active in the Unitarian Church choir and the San Francisco Chamber Singers. Howie reports that his children, Melissa, 28, Skip, 26, and Christopher, 25, are all gainfully employed, while daughter Kirsten, 19, is a sophomore at Colby College.

In 1985, Art Wolff, a noted director of theater and television, directed Shel Silverstein's The Crate and the Obie Award- winning Penn and Teller (a New York City sell-out), both selected as "the best of 1985" by the New York Times. This year, Art is directing a Penn and Teller TV movie for Disney and a London musical called Angry Housewives.

Pete Strock says that he has reacquainted himself with the College as it is, not as it was, through daughter Rebecca '88. He mentions that Rebecca saw Ken Jaffe '88, Peter Jaffe's son, in France.

We regret to report that '59 has lost two members of Delta Upsilon fraternity: KenWilliams, who died in Reading, Pa., on April 15, 1986 and Lloyd Relin, who died in Rochester, New York, on May 21, 1986. The class extends its sincere sympathy to the members of their families.

Karl Holtzschue writes about two close friends and fraternity brothers of his as follows. "Ken Williams died on April 15 in Wyomissing, Pa., after a long illness. Ken was a doctor, a recognized expert on alcohol and drug abuse and a non-alcoholic member of the National Board of Alcoholics Anonymous. He was a very caring physician, who helped many people. 'Dr. Ken' as he was known to my family, was always full of enthusiasm for his family and friends and for nature. He loved gardening and birding. We saw him often over the years, and he brought my daughter, Alison, her first orchid corsage on her 16th birthday. Last summer we got together at Ken's house with John May and Sam Swansen and their families. Another close friend, Lloyd Relin, died suddenly on May 21 in Rochester, N.Y. Lloyd was a leading lawyer in Rochester, N.Y., where he was known as 'Mr. Bankruptcy.' He won unanimous decision from the U.S. Supreme Court on a bankruptcy case. Lloyd was also active on bar associations and civic affairs. He wrote poetry and lived the good life, enjoying food, wine, and travel. The image that sticks in my mind from his eulogy is of Lloyd sitting in his den simultaneously watching two football games (with the sound off), listening to classical music, and reading both a novel and a law book. I've done the same thing, but with only one game and one book. To be deprived of two such good friends fills me with grief and is beyond my comprehension. I hope their friends will join me in offering our sympathy and support to their families."
