1964

There were more than 40 '64s living in Little Hall 36 years ago and imore than half of them responded to my request for information. As a result, I have more than enough information for my column. However, I am passing the rest of your news on to Bob Paterson, who will incorporate it in the next class newsletter.

Fourteen of the former Little Hall residents currently reside West of the Mississippi River. Furthest to the west is Ushi Ushioda (Sendai, Japan). Ushi returned to his native Japan in 1985 and is now a professor of physics and electronic engineering at Tohoku University. Returning to the "lower 48," Tom Bird (Seattle, Wash.) is the chief of neurology service at the VA Medical Center and a professor of neurology and medical genetics at the University of Washington Medical School. Moving south, I heard from John Rhetts (Tualatin, Ore.) and Clinton Darling (Portland, Ore.). John has retired from private practice of psychology and is doing some limited business consulting to support his fly-fishing habit, while Clinton is the head of the English department at Catlin Gabel School. KentStockton (Riverton, W.Y.) also reported in from the Northwest. Kent is a selfemployed family physician (How many of them are left?), and was selected Family Practice Doctor of the Year in 1995. But he also finds time to write cowboy poetry, and was the featured poet at the Elko Cowboy Poetry Gathering in 1996 (and in several previous years). Three Little Hall alums call California home. Rick Behrens (Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif.) is vice president and unit manager for electronic-product management and development for Union bank of California, While ArthurWard (Mountain Center, Calif.) is a physician and Kevin O'Gorman is in computer systems business and has just moved to Ventura, Calif.

Moving eastward toward the "big muddy," Bob Reidy (Albuquerque, N.M.) reported that after 17 years as the chief of ophthalmology at the University of New Mexico Medical School, he is now the president of a 25 man (person?) group of opthamologists serving New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah. Further to the east, near Dallas, Jonathan "Tiger" Young (Arlington, Tex.) is the manager of an environmental engineering consulting firm focusing on improving the quality of the water in the state's rivers and lakes. In the Midwest, Bruce Hookerman (Saint Louis, Mo.) is a dermatologist and John Fishel (Leavenworth, Kans.) is a professor of national security affairs at the U.S. Army Command & General Staff College. There he teaches courses on national security strategy and policy, military operations other than war, and Latin-American affairs.

Next month, "Little people" living in the Eastern United States, and a report on those who attended the mini-reunion on October 19th. Hope to see you there.
