1966

Bill and Juanita Jevne are pioneers. Not only have they started the Five Acres School, a small private preschool and primary Montessori method institution with extensive outdoor, art, and music activities in Sequim on Washington State's glorious Olympic Peninsula, but they're running it out of a straw-bale building Bill built himself. The star pupil is their three-year-old son, William.

It's the political season. By the time you're reading this we'll probably be having the second boomlet for Independent Maine Governor Angus King to take a shot at Washington in 2000. (The first occurred at Reunion as Gus wowed 'em at the fancy dinner.)

One other classmate who fought the good fight this year was Santa Fe, N.M., lawyer Eric Treisman, who ran in the Democratic primary for the right to take on incumbent Senator Pete Domenici. Eric came out of nowhere, won a strong following, and received the endorsement of the Albuquerque Sunday Journal for his plans to improve the state's infrastructure and his support of education and health reform.

Eric lost to more well-known, higher spending opponents, but here's hoping he keeps at it down the road.

Ted Temple is loving it on the Jersey shore. He's executive director of the New Jersey Multiple Listing Service, so if you need a place in Ocean or Monmouth Counties, he's your man. Barbara runs the Strathmere (N.J.) Motel, has earned an M.S.W. from Rutgers and does counseling when not tending the front desk. Ted's daughter Julie, a 1992 Mount Holyoke grad, works in the honorable profession of advertising in Providence and was married this summer.

Classmates on the Move: Steve Lanfer, a partner with Jefferson Financial Group in Stanford, Conn., has been elected president and CEO of Protein Group Inc., one of the nation's 100 largest dairy companies, with $16O million in revenue from operations throughout the East...Paul Buffium has been appointed vice president, secretary, and general counsel at Nashua Corp. In New Hampshire...and, also in the Granite State, Neil Castaldo, an attorney with Orr & Reno, has been elected to the board of trustees of the New Hampshire Higher Education Loan Corp.

After 14 years as the New York State special prosecutor and deputy attorney general for Medicaid fraud control, EdKuriansky has joined the Manhattan law firm of Kalkines, Arky, Zall, & Bernstein. Ed's efforts fighting Medicare abuse led to more than 2,000 criminal prosecutions and the levying of $185 million in fines and penalties.

Tom Appleby is news director and coanchor of News 12 Connecticut. He lives in New Canaan.

Anesthesiologist Dr. Joel Mumford, whose CV includes a stint as the medical officer for navy forces in Antarctica and teaching at Harvard Medical School, has joined the medical staff of Springfield (Vt.) Hospital.
