1959

Jack Wells writes from Cheyenne that he is commander of the (U.S. Air Force's) Site Activation Task Force (SATAF); the mission of which, he states, is to deploy the Peacekeeper (MX) missile system into silos in Wyoming. In 1987, he returned from three years in Malaysia as the air attache in the U.S. embassy in Kuala Lumpur. He counts two years to retirement after 30 years of active duty. He plans to retire in Bozeman, Mont., "with winters down south in Nevada or Arizona." Jack has three grandchildren.

Stu Freeman has recently relocated from Katonah, N.Y., to Providence, R.I. He has taken a job there as director of administration at the law firm of Edwards & Angell, which he describes as Rhode Island's leading law firm, with offices in Providence, Boston, New York, New Bedford, Newport, and Palm Beach.

It will come to nobody's surprise that Dick Watson has not seen too many classmates in Mutare, Zimbabwe, where he is winding down his five-year tour in the ministry as CAO of a struggling rural Anglican diocese. (Guess that has been one of the bright spots of my five-year tenure as class secretary, Dick. I've heard from a few more!) He writes that after five years there, he has grown somewhat accustomed to the people, the climate, the pace, and the work, and that leaving will be a "trauma of sorts." He notes that he was priested recently and "is now a true African and proud to be so." Perhaps we could all take a lesson from Dick, who writes in part as follows: "The turnings of the Hanover scene seem detached and far away and sad indeed. Amid the really heavy issues of the world today, these seem like tempests in a teapot ... or is it just good training for the real world? Wish we had that kind of energy to spend here."

Gerry Silverberg reports that he is still at Stanford Medical School, where he has received successive promotions to the positions of full professor of surgery and acting division head of neurosurgery.
