1963

Chip Johnstone, legend has it, once walked through the second-floor window of Fayerweather. Lately he's settled for walking through doors on college campuses, the latest being the University of Maine at Augusta where he reached the "final four" in their nationwide search for a new president. Chip in the end wasn't selected, which is Maine's loss and New York's gain, as he remains dean of collegewide programs at Empire State College in Saratoga Springs, part of the State University of New York system which Chip joined in 1977. Empire State is known as the "college without walls," serving some 10,000 students, average age in their late 30s, at 42 sites around the state, including six in New York City alone. Chip's job is to invent new programs that expand beyond the state of New York. He also manages what is known as the "distance learning program," whereby a few thousand students including prison inmates, soldiers, and traveling salesmen study via computer modem and videoconference. And he designs external degree programs for corporations like NYNEX and AT&T. Wife Peggy is an English scholar, having published a Critical Study of George Eliot (NYU Press). Son Christopher is with the Japan Economic Institute in Washington, D.C., and Jon is a film writer and producer's assistant at Universal Studios in California.

One of the "engineers" behind the stunning late primary sweeps of Robert Dole is our own John Black, who coordinated Dole's victorious campaign on lower Cape Cod, part of an overall victory in Massachusetts. John has been collecting signatures for Governor Bill Weld, who will challenge the incumbent Democrat John Kerry for the U.S. Senate. He's also working to get a GOP candidate to fill the congressional seat in southeastern Mass. being vacated by Democrat Jerry Studds. Retired from Salomon Brothers where he specialized in Canadian corporate finance, John built a beautiful home on the side of a mountain on the Caribbean island of Nevis.

He and Jane live year around in Chatham on the Cape and own a condominium in the Back Bay of Boston. Sam graduated from St. Michael's and works on the Cape. Jessica is in high school.
