Now living in Newtonville, N.Y., Phil is also author of a curriculum for an upper-level religion course and accompanying teacher's manual.

Another '62 in the news—this time in the Leader-Herald's arch rival, USA Today Hugh "Demigod Guru" Johnson. According to the article, our Hughie has become the most-quoted stock market analyst following the crash of Black Monday. As chief investment officer and economist at First Albany Corporation, Hugh has been sought after by the Associated Press, L.A. Times,USA Today ... and maybe even the Gloversville L-H. The reason for Hugh's popularity, according to the AP: "He's a straight talker and he doesn't engage in bafflegab." What's happened to the Hugh we knew?
