1977
Mike Carter reported on several classmates after a recent trip to the East Coast: Caldwell Gaffney is working for Hertz International and living in Rockville, Md. He spends his fall afternoons watching his son Caldwell III practice on the freshman football team at Georgetown Preparatory. In early October Georgetown Prep played their cross-town rival Stidwell Friends and we are looking at a potential linebacker in the class of 2005.
Gus Davis was in Washington, D.C., for a builders conference and dropped in on Caldwell Gaffney, It seems that Gus is in Birmingham and has cornered the market on building affordable homes in that town.
Karen Short lives in Ft. Lauderdale, where she is responsible for the Caribbean market for AT&T. She travels back to Brooklyn frequently as she is restoring her brownstone there. Fortunately, she is dealing with a New York contractor, and not one from Birmingham. (I guess Mike's not planning on building an affordable home in Birmingham any time soon.)
NASA will have to wait a little longer for Amy Cammann Cholnoky to start training for the Mars mission. Amy, who chaired last year's Trustee election committee, was recently named as the alumni representative on the College's presidential search committee.
Here are some excerpts from the press release for Mike Mosher's show that opened in November and runs through March:
"ARTISTS' UNINHIBITED VIEW OF SPACE SCIENCE' AT NASA AMES RESEARCH CENTER VISITORS' CENTER. Four artists, three from Silicon Valley and one from St. Paul, Minn., have come together to create a beautiful, provocative exhibition in response to our era of space exploration that will be shown at NASA Ames Research Center Visitors' Center in Mountain View, Calif. The exhibit of paintings and interactive multimedia 'Artists' Uninhibited View of Space Science' runs from November 14, 1997, through March 14, 1998.
"Leah Lubin Myrrh, Mike Mosher and Colette Gaiter all respond very differently to the concept of 'space science.' Mike Mosher's Flight Paths presents eclectic hypertext narratives and historical and semiconductor imagery in a computer-based installation behind a mural-like facade."
For more information about the show (I hope it will be open for at least a day or two after this is published), check NASA's web site at
Earlier this year Dr. Gary Schillhammer received the Washington Rural Health Association 1997 Friend of Rural Health Award for his 13 years of service to the Darrington, Wash., community. The nomination read in part, "Gary has left in the middle of the night and flown up to treat injured logging workers on the hillside. He has ridden the ambulance, delivered babies, and every other conceivable act for his community whenever called upon. The important thing about Dr. Schillhammer is he does it out of a principle of commitment and dedication to his rural community and not out of self-servitude." Nice stuff, evidently well earned.
