1963

Touring the nooks and crannies of the New York metro area, you never know who will turn up. It may be a C.S. Lewis scholar on Long Island or a doctor who makes house calls in Brooklyn. You might find a trademark lawyer from Oklahoma living in the middle of Manhattan, a nationally known TV personality on PBS, an accountant-turned stockbroker, the parents of a budding baseball historian, a freshly-minted divinity student, or a bullfight aficionado from Westchester.

Like Tim Mahin, whose taste for Spanish cuisine and the bullring dates to the Dartmouth semesters he studied at Salamanca. He's an amateur toreador having fought most recently in Mexico. But it's behind the stove where Tim spends more time whipping up Spanish dishes for Elaine and their daughter Christie. Maria is married and practicing law in New York. Tim's regular job is editing the weekly Darien(Conn.) News Review. He also writes plays that are produced locally and novels about Spain of course.

The C.S. Lewis scholar is John Morrison and he also has a regular job, two actually. John has been teaching English for a long time at Bayshore High School on Long Island and coaching tennis too. He played varsity tennis at Dartmouth with DougFloren, who lives in Greenwich, Conn. John also played on that great Woodward Hall basketball team that regularly stunned the fraternity squads. His second job is that of priest at Grace Episcopal Church in Massapequa. John's interest in C.S. Lewis, British author, critic, and theologian, dates to his undergraduate days in the Sanborn House. Now he spends two weeks each year at Oxford University studying with the C.S. Lewis Foundation and publishes in their society bulletin. John and Susan have two children and four grandchildren.

Taking a page from the teacher-turned-clergy book is David Steffens of Manhattan, who hopes to have an M.A. in divinity this spring from General Theological Seminary. David is a former math and science teacher at the Masters School in Dobbs Ferry and other boarding schools. He is widowed and has four grown children.

Manhattan West Sider Bob Oakes practices medicine the old-fashioned way, making house calls in Brooklyn. John Wilets is a stock broker/dealer on Long Island. Seth Swirsky, son of Steve and Joan Swirsky, Great Neck, L.I., has published the acclaimed Baseball Letters, A Fan'sCorrespondence with His Heroes (Kodansha America, $24), correspondence with nearly 100 players during the baseball strike of 1994.

John Merrow, producer and host of the weekly Merrow Report on PBS, just received a million-dollar grant from the Ford Foundation to continue the popular reports on education in America.

Global marketing, especially by emerging nations, is keeping the trademark protection bar busy, especially Jim Palik, an Oklahoman who came to Manhattan after law school and never left. His clients at Pennie & Edwards law firm include Central and Eastern European businesses. Jim got his start counseling the Pepto Bismol people He and Marilyn live in the Grammercy Park area.

Ready for the 35th Reunion, June 15-18? Steve Swirsky plans to be there. Tim Mahin is expected too, but without the bulls.
