1974

As everyone knows, we are coming up on our 15th Reunion. This class is a hard crowd to keep up with careers change, lives take a different direction, someone from New York ends up in Bozeman, Mont. It will be fun to read the column in ten years and see further changes.

Speaking of changes, you will never believe this one! I received a telegram from Margaret Winthrop who is somewhere in Nicaragua leading a rebellion. More news on that in the next issue.

Congratulations to Tom and Lenore Van Benschoten on the birth of their son Matthew Home on May 30, 1988.

Fritz Ledbetter and his wife, Becky, have left Alaska to live in Oceanside, Calif. They announce the birth of a baby daughter born in September.

David S. Johnson has a new position with Ventures Trident. David moved from general counsel for Amselco Minerals, Inc. to become vice president/legal of a venturecapital firm which invests in precious metals and industrial minerals properties in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and South America. David and his wife, Stephanie, had their first child, a daughter, Morgan Curran Johnson, last February. They have been spending a lot of time in Telluride, Colo., and look forward to our reunion (which I hasten to remind everyone is coming up this June).

Brian Follett has announced a relocation to Minnesota, where he will be selling voice mail and automated attendant systems through AT&T in the Midwest.

Tom Treadwell is still practicing medicine with A speciality in infectious diseases in the Framingham/Boston area. Tom has two children, Hilary, 9, and Nathan, 6. He recently took a trip to British Columbia for "big fishing." Tom sends word that Rob MacAllister and his wife have just had their second daughter, Katie, and moved to Yonkers.

Congratulations to Doug Peabody and Annick Sabin Cooper '75 on their marriage September 10, 1988, in Osterville, Mass. Many of our class members were there, including Joe Barnes, Randy Barnett, Steve Dietz, Alan King, Abdo Yazgi, Marc Kilbridge, Herb Hopkins, Tom Stephens, Mike Draznik, Chris Pfaff, and Candy Ingals.

Physician Richard Thirlby has relocated his family from Dallas to Seattle, Wash. Richard was at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School (Parkland Hospital) for nine years, including three years as an assistant professor of surgery. Richard moved with his wife, Pat, and daughter Marjorie, 5, to the Virginia Mason Clinic in Seattle.

Tom Short writes that he is working for Citibank, which acquired the fourth largest bank in Arizona this past year. He lives in Peoria and was transferred in July to manage the employment and employee relations areas of human resources for this 1700-plus employees organization.

Jack Martin still in Venice, has gone into depression and is trying to get in touch with his feelings so he can do what is right for him. He is seeing an Italian psychiatrist who does not speak English. The psychiatrist is trying to understand Jack's latest dream in which he is windsurfing on the Grand Canal. Best of luck to the psychiatrist!
