1947

Just when I need some good material for a column, names pop out at me from our class survey. This is still useful news, as I've noticed that for us, things don't change as fast as they used to.

Dr. Norm Sissman writes from Princeton, N.J., where he has taken on some new interests, since his California medical career at Stanford. He served there in academic pediatrics, as professor, then director of pediatric cardiology at Stanford, and then the same tide at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. Norman is now active in "liberal physicians groups": Physicians for Social Responsibility, Physicians for a National Health Plan, Physicians for Human Rights (is it OK if we thought all doctors should be in on this?). Norm has authored more than 35 articles or book chapters. He and Charlotte had two children, and have traveled all the continents, most recently ('93) to the Galapagos isles. He would like to pursue writing about the human interest side of medical practice and research. This, it seems, would be on my own reading list for sure. Go for it, Norm.

Fred Sistare has an interesting story fit for sharing. After service and Dartmouth, he worked in life insurance in Massachusetts and in Texas. Then he set up his own shop in picture framing, and went on to develop 12 other shops for a franchise, up 'til 1984. With his wife, Elizabeth, four children were raised. Fred has been active as Lions Club president, '91 and '92, and AARP chapter officer. Fred claims some fame in having taken up skiingdownhill, that is—at over 60. He and Elizabeth have toured the eastern United States and the mountain areas of western Canada,in their motor home. For quiet fun, Fred is a model railroader and gardener, along with working as a volunteer.

Tom Harrington, a man of many talents, but master of music, is one of our class's best musicians; in the"D" marching band, and in the military. Tom tried the business world, but found his happiness in teaching elementary-age children. He estimates he influenced more than 10,000 kids during 27 years. (Tom, you didn't say which way.) Tom has traveled to Ireland, Mexico, and all the USA. Look around, you may see him coming. Hi, Tombo. See you soon,
