1968

News trickles in on all fronts. From an evening on the cell phone, I learned from Joe Grasso that daughter Caitlin is starting her college career at Colby by way of Salamanca, Spain (now there's a fall trip!); Joe hopes to visit later this fall. Joe has moved up to the Massachusetts Appeals Court, where he is a judge, and moved into town (Charlestown) from Andover. His new home is a condo featured on This OldHouse last year. His new work in is the"new" courthouse, built in 1947. Does that make us, bom in 1946, all "new" too? Hope so! Joe hears from Marty and Cliff Groen from time to time, especially when they go to their place on Quechee, and from Parker Beveridge, busy as ever in Colby admissions. Bill Mutterperl is general counsel at Fleet Boston, supervising 120 attorneys scattered in all the locations around the world where the bank does business. After Dartmouth he went to Columbia Law School, spent a few years in New York City and since 1977 has been with the bank that grew to become Fleet, living first in Providence, Rhode Island, and since 1995 in Boston, overlooking Boston Common (a real short walk to work). He and Nancy, married a couple of weeks after our graduation, have two sons, Matthew (31), who went to George Washington University, and Adam (26), who went to Colorado College and BU. They have one grandson, Noah, and another on the way. Bill and Frank Ittleman recently went to a Red Sox-Yankee game, in Boston, where they thoroughly enjoyed their minority position of rooting for the Yankees in Boston (it hurts to write this, but journalism must be fair and even handed). Frank is a cardiovascular surgeon at Fletcher-Allen Hospital in Burlington, Vermont. From the news: Bill Blanchard was recognized by the American Heart Association as Physician of the Year. Bill Kolasky is expected to be appointed to a senior deputy position in the Department of Justice's anti-trust division. He is currently apartner at Wilmer, Cut- ler and Pickering. David "Howie" Soren is Re- gent's Professor of Classics at the University of Arizona, and co-author with Russ Tamblyn (of West Side Story fame) of Tamblyn's biography, due out next year. Somehow this proves to me the ul- timate value, and inclusiveness, of a liberal edu- cation:classics, archeology at Carthage, National Geographic work, and now, a biography of a Broadway and Hollywood star. Howie is one of our renaissance men. And I'm sure there are others! (Hint: Send news, your own and friends'). Have a great fall, use our class Web site and be sure to mark down June 2003 for our 35th.
