1982

Summer is here, and baseball is back in Boston. By now the Sox should be well on their way to ending the 70-year jinx. Faces in the crowd at Fenway on opening day included Tom Shanahan and John Connolly '81. A pre-game face was that of Bob Bauer, who proceeded to fill me in on a wealth of classmates over a couple of Buds at The Baseball Tavern.

Bob and his wife, the former Sally Mansur (daughter of Gary Mansur '51), are living it up in Medford, Mass. Sally is working for the EPA while Bob is busy earning his masters in journalism from Northeastern. His ultimate goal: sports editor of The Boston Globe.

Like the true journalist he is becoming, Bob had a notebook full of news. Many of the tidbits came from the vicinity of the nation's Capitol, including the tales of lan Campbell. Lan has recently moved to Alexandria, Va., from Crested Butte, Colo., where he and John Byrne '81 had been operating their El Dorado tavern. Lan will return to Colorado to be married in June and will then open a brew pub in the D.C. area.

Also in Washington (Arlington, Va.,to be exact) are Sam Carlson and his wife Linda McGinnis. Both are working for World Bank and spending a lot of time in Central and South America. Arlington is also home to the fairly recendy married Randy Gordon. Randy has been working for the Pan Am Development corporation but is hoping to enter Arizona's Thunderbird program in international management. The final "capitolist" Bob reported on was Davin MacKenzie, who is working for the Strategic Planning Association. Davin and his Leslie are expecting their first child this summer.

George Huntington is roaming the wilds of Wyoming, doing some sort of heavy metal geology work. Bob referred to it as "hazardous waste remediation." Mike Tavis is going the other way, opening markets in eastern Europe, specifically for Seagrams. Speaking of Europe, Rich Nadworny is still in Stockholm but hopes to be in New York this summer to edit a major motion picture.

BB's Quickhitters: a couple of'B2s, Wendi Terlizzi and Gordon Cook, became an '82 couple last July and are living in Seattle Hay a Mayman was spotted at a Boston Symphony concert and is practicing medicine in the Beantown area... Pete Saltsman is working for Weston Geophysical in Maine and is hoping to move out west. . . Becky Forbes was recently in Boston and reported that SueLibenson is in Alaska trying to protect it from developers.

Many thanks to Bob for the updates. See you next month.
