1966

As spring approaches, it's fitting to announce that Henry Art recently won national recognition for his new book, The Wildflower Gardener's Guide: Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Great Lakes and Eastern Canada Edition. His work, the first of a series on gardening with native wildflowers in North America, received the highest honors in the specialty book category of the Quill and Trowel Competition. Henry has been teaching field botany at Williams, where in 1987 he authored his first book, A Garden of Wildflowers.

Henry Clapper is another classmate making significant contributions to higher education. He recently completed a twoyear term of office as chairman of the Missouri Coordinating Board for Higher Education, the board responsible for setting public policies for Missouri colleges and universities. When not engaged in civic service (Henry also served as a member of the Governor's Private Industry Council), he practices law as a partner in the firm of Clapper, Randall and Woodard in Monett, Mo., where he lives with his wife, Nancy, and their three children.

It seems like only yesterday that I was sitting around a table in Reed Hall discussing "The Influence of Seapower on History" and such with Mike Masin and other devoted history majors. Now Mike, a partner in the law firm of O'Melveny & Myers, will be sitting around the table at the board room of GTE as a newly elected member of the 18-man board of directors.

Since we seem to be highlighting those of our ranks who are gainfully involved in higher education, it is fitting to note that Warren Riley has been heading Peat Marwick's New York practice for higher education and other institutions. He coauthored The Resource Development System, a strategic planning guide for non-profit organizations. Warren is now in his firm's Los Angeles office continuing his work in the consulting practice for not-for-profit organizations.

Rich Kaiser recently wrote from the offices of his busy Newjersey surgical practice that his son had been accepted on early decision to the class of 1993. I'm sure other '66s will have sons and daughters beating a path to the mailbox April 15. Let us know how they (and you) fared.
