1963

Chuck Pfeifer you remember him, he was the Winston cigarette man in the 1970's has fond memories of freshman football and Billy King before transferring to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Chuck went on to play end for Army against Roger Staubach's Navy team, and to serve as a combat officer in a Sog unit in Vietnam. Back in New York, he traded in his sword for a pen, and has become a regular contributor to Interview Magazine. His most recent profile is of Bruce Cutler, a lawyer for alleged organized-crime boss John Gotti. He's also profiled general William Westmoreland and Norman Mailer. Chuck gets his bread and butter, however, as a TV producer and filmmaker. He just completed a new video for Prince, the singer. The Winston cigarette work came from an early stint as a model for brands like Karl Lagerfield fragrances. He's also had small acting parts in two Oliver Stone films, "Wall Street" and "Born on the Fourth of july."

Many of us are putting kids through college now. At least one of us is putting four kids through college as we speak. He's Bob Burros, and recipients of his check include the University of Colorado at Boulder (Cori), Johns Hopkins (Scott), Brandeis (Morgann), and Ohio State (Ilene). Fifth child Ellen is out in the real world with a TV syndication company in New York. A lot of kids! "You see, it's my second time around," explained Bob, "and I love my wife, Adrienne, dearly." Bob is general manager of the New York division of Hanes Converting Co., a North Carolina converter and distributor of textiles and bedding to manufacturers of home furnishing. The division was once an independent company started by Bob's grandfather in Brooklyn in 1898. A Tuck graduate, Bob changed the company's basic product from burlap to synthetics and then sold out to Hanes in 1978. "It gives me more time to do the things I want," said Bob, who hopes eventually to move to the Berkshires. Currently he lives in East Rockaway, N.Y., not far from the factory.

Need a good ear, nose, and throat man in Boston? What's that? You say you can't hear me? You have wax in your ears? Get over and see Dr. Douglas Bell in Brookline. He'll not only solve your medical problems, he'll offer you tips on marathon running and how to raise two children as a single parent. After University of Virginia med school, Doug ran a Navy residence program for "two-year wonders" in South Philadelphia. ("After two years you wonder where everyone went.") He's a member of the 5,000 strong Boston Dartmouth Alumni Association and an avid reader of their Dahtmuth (sic) newsletter as in "Dear old Dahtmuth, bless her name." Doug has run in the last 12 Boston Marathons and plans to continue his streak at least 'til 1996 for the running of the 100th. His best marathon time? 3:15 in New York City. Children Kevin and Leslie are away in college at Arizona State and Northern Arizona. "Helping teenagers through various adolescent development states is a survival course," reports Doug. "You have to give them enough latitude to make decisions without harming themselves." Right? Right!
