1972

As that most wonderful season of all begins in the Northeast, I find myself with several news clippings about classmates and will skip my usual filler at the head of this column.

In Earlly July The New York Times seemed to be running a regular series of articles on Pilobolus's stint at the Joyce Theater in New York. There was particular attention to nudity in some of the pieces. Mentioned prominently in the article was Robby Barnett, Pilobolus co-founder and current choreographer. The articles were overall very favorable, and focused on the changes back and forth in attitudes towards nudity over the past 23 years. In response to recent changes where the dancers are wearing dance belts and t-shirts, Robby was quoted as saying, "we've caved in part because the nudity is not that important." Are we getting that old?

In the fully-clothed world of law, PeterHeed was named to the board of directors of the Friends of the Norris Cotton Cancer Center in Manchester, N.H. Pete Broberg was named to the board of Island National Bank and Trust in Palm Beach, and opened a sports memorabilia store called Great Stuff! He would like to have the pair of shorts which Wayne Pirmann invited anyone and everyone to take a bite of during our freshman year. John Sharer has moved from the D.C. law firm of Sutherland, Asbill & Brennan to the Richmond firm of Christian, Barton, Epps, Brent & Cappell, where he will specialize in energy and administrative law. John, wife Kathy, and daughter Stephanie should have completed the move to Richmond by the time this goes to press.

The Institute of Professional Environmental Practice announced its first roster of qualified environmental professionals, which included Philip Lo, senior engineer, Industrial Waste Section for County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County in Whittier. He is a policy planner and practicing regulator with interdisciplinary risk assessment, pollution prevention, government industry regulations, and inter-governmental agency liaison.

Steve Meyer has been appointed president and general manager of Titan's Applied Technologies Group in San Diego. He will be managing the growing sterilization business which provides high-powered systems, primarily for the medical field. He was previously the chief financial officer of Titan and has been managing the medical sterilization business since it was started in 1992.

Bob Jeffe has left Morgan Stanley, where he was the head of their energy and natural-resources group, to join Smith Barney Shearson. Sources close to the negotiations indicate that the key selling point which clinched Smith Barney's offer was when Bob said he could guarantee bringing Morgan Stanley's permit for a Central Park softball field with him in the deal.

In other news from last spring, David Watters led a series of discussions in Rye, N.H., about "Family Scrapbooks" which combined films and stories with senior citizens' own stories and ethnic traditions. Dave has taught New England literature and culture at the University of New Hampshire since 1978. Dr. Jay Schechter gave a free skin-cancer screening in May at the Canton-Potsdam (N.Y.) Hospital. He has been affiliated with the hospital since 1984 and practices dermatology in Potsdam.
