1968

A couple of holiday family newsletters came, much appreciated by a news-hungry secretary. Vicki and Clark Wadlow provided their usual newsletter dense with interesting news, and perhaps the smallest font possible so it fits on one page. When Clark is not commuting in his new hybrid car to work at Sidley, Austin Brown and Wood, he and Vicki have traveled to the Grenadines, Arches National Park, Italy and Sicily, and even far away L.A.

Furniture making (him) and pottery (her) fill up time on the farm. Son Ray is finishing up residency in Philly and is en route to Boston, to work in hematology/oncology at Harvard Jeff is in L.A. prospering in the movie industry. Tom, a video game designer, and wife Miha are just finishing a new house on the family farm. And Anne is at the University of Virginia, in graduate school for the classics. Bobby Lynns son, Nate, is spending his junior year abroad in Cairo, Egypt. Linda and John Melski reported an interesting assortment of family news: three Buddhist monks lived with them for several weeks in October; John managed the successful primary and general election of a state representative, and son David received his Ph.D. in computer science from University of Wisconsin.

Interesting clippings lately. Bruce Morley has developed a decidedly unquixotic reputation for windmills. He has spent the last decade developing wind-power projects, most recently in Wyoming. Four separate projects involving 131 wind turbines develop 83 megawatts, and he is now working on a pilot "wind to hydrogen" project. He notes that his wind-power projects save emissions equivalent to 100,000 cars! His consulting includes clients in Japan and the Netherlands. Raised in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, he returned there after Dartmouth as journalist, writing for Snow Magazine and the Jackson HoleNews. After time with the family business, in the early 'Bos, Bruce worked in cogeneration, energy storage and hydropower. He also did energy consulting in Kuwait right after the Gulf War. He and wife Jean (Dilley), a nurse, were married in 1989 and now live in White Salmon, Washington. TheWashington Post mentions Bob DuPuy, president and COO of Major League Baseball, at some length, as Washington is being considered for reestablishment of a baseball franchise, possibly to be relocated from Montreal. Bob also has been in the news as the league considers what to do with Pete Rose. And in Philadelphia, Barry Abelson was recently elected to the board of directors of the Children's Crisis Treatment Center, a nonprofit agency that provides counseling and family services to children who have been victims of or witnesses to violence, abuse, neglect or trauma. In his day job Barry is chairman of the executive committee of Pepper Hamilton LLP, where he is a partner in their commercial department.

Reunion getting closer! Be there. And keep the news coming. Hope your winter is going well.
