1964

This month's column focuses on classmates who lived in Woodward, Ripley, and Smith Halls during freshman year. Among the Woodward residents who have reported in (or been reported about), Lance keeler faxed me from London that he is now marketing U.S. securities to institutions in Germany, Norway, and Scotland. Inspired to become a broker by his "role model" Tom Harlow, Lance recently went to New York for his broker's exam. While there he visited with Whit Goit, Chip Waite and Bill Madden. Lance, however, is not the only '64 who is putting in frequent-flyer miles— Duncan Hughes is commuting from Chicago to Boston, where he is a senior engineer working on the Central Artery/Third Harbor Tunnel project. Bill Westing, Miton, Fla., is also up in the air as a contract pilot for UNC Aviation Services.

Neal Stanley reports from Belvedere Tiburon, Calif., that he is working as a management and financial consultant in the property and casualty insurance industry. BobMcClure is the graduate-psychology program coordinator at the University of Texas at Tyler and also has a small private practice. Dave Hess is practicing law in Manchester, N.H., where he regularly sees Curt Little,Jim Shirley, John Peltonen and Lennie Green. He and his wife, Judi, are also into "adventure traveling." (More on this in BobPaterson's newsletter.) Two other Woodward residents, Robbie Hands and Chico Salazar are physicians in Saddle River, N.J., and Washington, D.C.

Former Ripley residents Ben Kable and Doug Montgomery checked in from Oregon. Ben retired from teaching in public alternative schools, moved to central Oregon, and is now "working" as an antique dealer. Doug, on the other hand, remains in the big city, Portland, where he is employed by the Bonneville Power Administration as a management analyst. Doug reports that his former Ripley roommate Bill Craig is an attorney in New Haven, Conn. Also on the West Coast is restauranteur extraordinaire Peny Butler, who owns Perry's in San Francisco.

Three Ripleyites have entered the teaching profession. Nick Rowe is an English teacher at a new coalition of essential schools in Amherst, N.H. Bud McGrath is an English professor at the University of Southern Maine and reports that Francis Montgomery is a sculptor in upstate New York. The most impressive academic title belongs to Pat Terenzini who is "Professor, Senior Scientist, and Associate Director of the Center for the Study of Higher Education at Penn State University." The author of more than 50 scholarly articles, Pat is the other Red Sox fan in Pennsylvania. He reports Seeing Jim Jacobsen several times when he was living in Atlant (the obvious place for two skiers to meet).

Among the Smithies reporting in was newly graduated Carlos Ballantyne, whose exploits have been chronicled in the recent class newsletter. Carlos is a self-employed photographer in Laguna Beach, Calif. Also living in California is Slade Becker, who is director of the Center for Developmental Teaching in the College of Arts and Sciences at Berkeley. Moving east, we find Paul Hale and Derick Denby working in the financial sector. Paul is a portfolio manager for a New York-based investment bank specializing in media and communications, while Derick has been a CFO for several small companies in the Boston area. At last report, Bob Hiller was a dentist in Rudand, Vt., and John Reigart was a physician in Charleston, S.C. After 22 years with the Center for Disease Control, StuBrown has now turned his attention to his local community as director of the Dekalb County (Ga.) STD/HIV Program.

That's all for now. Keep those questionnaires coming. Next month, Topliff Hall.
