1966

Peter Pritchard received the Daniel Webster Public Service Award at a dinner and award ceremony hosted by the Dartmouth Club of Washington last April. While Peter could have been cited for either his backhand or his short game, he was recognized for his service as editor-inchief of USA Today (1988-1995), as executive editor of the Newseum (1996-1997), and as president and chief operating officer of the Freedom Forum, the nation's largest foundation devoted solely to media issues.

Peter's wife, Ann, and a cadre of classmates were in attendance. Chuck Sherman made the formal presentation, and fellow Washington Club executive committee members Jack Bennett and Jim Weiskopf helped plan the event. Dave Barton, GregEden, Doug Greenwood, Steve Pozniak, and Larry Simmons led the cheers while former Glee Clubbers Bob Bach and JohnRollins led the singing of the Alma Mater (new version, of course).

When you're meandering around the Lone Pine (Calif.) Film Festival this Columbus Day, you'll probably run into Sandy and Chris Langley. Chris was president of the festival, which pays tribute to the many films shot in the spectacular scenery in that uniquely beautiful area nesded between Mt. Whitney and Death Valley, for the past nine years and he's sure to be on hand.

Chris's day job is that of teacher, and he's been at it for 30 years, first in the Peace Corps in Iran, then in a three-room schoolhouse 90 minutes from the nearest town (Hollister), and now in "severely rural" Lone Pine. But don't think Chris just sits and rocks when the middle-school kids go home. He and Sandy have been selected as American Memory Fellows of the national Digital Library and will work with the Library of Congress to develop an on-line unit for teachers of women's issues in American history. In addition, Chris recently received a Fulbright Memorial Fellowship to study the educational system in Japan. Not bad for a small-town fella.

Eric Treisman continues to fight the good fight. As a Santa Fe lawyer he's currently pursuing a class action suit on behalf of Indian tribes (allegedly) shortchanged by the government on health, education, and service contracts under the Indian Self Determination Act. Phase one alone, education contracts between 1989-93, may settle, says Eric, for $80 million. It could be, he confesses, "my career case." Indeed! Eric's math major son Zachary graduated from Reed College earlier this year.
