1966

Ken Meyercord has gone west. After 17 years in the Washington, D.C., area, Ken and family have put down new roots in Colorado Springs, but he continues in the same occupation, computer-systems consulting, with the same company, MCI. Wife Samira, formerly a wetlands specialist with the EPA, is now on drier land and in "semi-retirement." Khaldun, 20, is around home and Nadia, 19, is a sophomore at Emory in Atlanta.

The Meyercords recently visited EricTreisman in Santa Fe. Eric had reportedly just returned from a barnstorming trip across the Russian Arctic in crop-duster planes, which sure sounds more exciting than a weekend in the Poconos.

For 24 years Mike McConnell has been flying around the world as a director of Braxton Associates in Brookline, Mass., leading the "shareholder value practice" of this strategy -consulting boutique. He reckons he's logged 2.5 million miles and 290 American Express bills. In his spare time Mike teaches Sunday school, reads sci-fi, and serves on the Board of United Methodist Publishing based in Nashville. Mary returned to kindergarten teaching a few years ago. Alex, 13, is a seventh-grader; Rose, 25, a graduate of BU in deaf studies, is administrative assistant to a housing/community development; and Emily is a sophomore at Dartmouth. This gives the whole clan even more reasons to use their cabin in Thetford (built on land Alike purchased with uncanny foresight—-when we graduated).

While we're on the topic of kids at Dartmouth I've discovered two other '66 offspring (in addition to my daughter Maggie) in Dartmouth's largest-ever and most gender-balanced freshman class of 1998: Nora Bryan, daughter of Providence-based organizational planning consultant Bob Bryan, and USA Today Editor Pete Prichard's son Oliver. Let me know if you're currently direct-depositing your paycheck to McNutt Hall too.

Dave Johnston, our 25 th Reunion chairman, has recently been named executive director of The Bridge, a West Hartford, Conn., youth and family social services agency. Dave has been on the board for the past couple of years while serving as the executive director of the Capital Area Substance Abuse Council.

The ranks of '66 bachelors shrank in February when JeffFutter, a lawyer for LILCO, the Long Island, N.Y., electric utility, and Susan Sommer, a total-quality and corpo- rate-strategy consultant, tied the knot.

Keep the good news flowing. Thanks.
