1976

This month's big news is that Lyn Hutton, the College's treasurer and our honorary classmate, has been appointed ed to a position with the Mac Arthur Foundation. This is the outfit that drops whopping "genius grants" on unsuspecting but deserving individuals every year. Sort of a Publisher's Clearinghouse for the intelligentsia. I'm sure that you will all join me in wishing Lyn the very best in her new position and also in fervently hoping that she will remember her Honorary classmates fondly ly, frequently, and very generously when she selects grant recipients.

I last saw Tim Caldwell as he streaked by in the 1980 Anchorage World Cup cross-country ski races. Anchorage has wonderful ski trails, and the weather can be glorious for nordic skiing. If memory serves me correctly the day Tim raced was less than perfect, with very cold temperatures and a freezing mist that froze some racers' eyelids together. Our class was well-represented. Aside from Tim, Judy Zimicke Gianforte was a volunteer worker on the race, and my smiling face appeared on the cover of the race program—buried somewhere among a pack of 30 or 40 other citizen racers on the starting line at the Service High trails.

As far as I know, Tim is still skiing harder and faster than most mortals. Tim is also well ahead of the legal pack, having been admitted as a member of the National Network of Estate Planning Attorneys. After graduation Tim attended Georgetown University Law Center. He lives in Lyme and practices law in Lebanon, N.H.

At press time another Georgetown Law-graduate Judy Redding, had just begun her campaign for the Maryland House of Delegates. Judy is the founder and president for Caring Hands Inc., an organization that serves people with disabilities throughout Maryland. She is a member of a lengthy list of community service organizations, and decided to run for office to be "part of a restoration of civic leadership where integrity and public service are the rule."

In the now-ancient-but-not-forgotten news department, that was indeed JameyHampton and wife Ashley Roland dancing in last year's Academy Award show. The duo rehearsed three weeks to perform a three-minute dance that included Ashley flying over the audience on Bungee cords, "using John Cusack as an anchor." Tune in next year for a possible repeat performance by the Hampton/Roland Flying Circus.

Notes from the corporate world: ReggieWilliams, vice president of Disney Sports Attractions, told Sports Business Journal that the best investment he ever made was buying "a plane ticket to Hanover, N.H., in the fall of 1972." Jeff Hildebrand is now executive vice president and chief operating officer at Evanston Northwest Healthcare in Illinois. Richard Haak is now corporate controller for PictureTel Corp. of Andover Mass. Richard has an M.B.A. from the Wharton School.

I am sorry to report that Wendy Stalo Huntoon Dave Huntoon's wife, passed away on June 28, 1998, after a four-year battle with brain cancer. Dave and their children Caroline (14) and Greg (9), miss her deeply. Dave asked me to remind all of you to "take advantage of the time you have."

On a personal note, Tina and I are busy coping with the arrival of Forest Drake Kobayashi our second son (8 lbs., 3 oz.). Forest is a real Alaska kid—at the age of two weeks he obtained his first frequent flyer number. The next few months promise to be busy. Any help you can give me by sending news would be most gratefully appreciated!
