Life has not been easy for Ted Morehouse since 9/11, when his 24-year-old daughter Lindsay, a financial analyst, lost her life in the South Tower of the World Trade Center. Ted has honored Lindsays legacy with two scholarships in her name. Most poignant is Big Brothers, Big Sisters of America, where Lindsay had become a mentor two days before she was killed. Ted, who is chief marketing officer at Emigrant Savings Bank in New York, hopes one day to raise money to send hundreds of children to college. The second scholarship is at Lindsays alma mater, Williams College, and benefits children of firefighters, policemen, emergency medical services workers and others who risk their lives. Ted and life partner Claudia Lynne Rose ride horses in the Grand Tetons and have a farm in Connecticut. They have three other children and two grandchildren between them.

Where have all the Psi Us gone? To a Labor Day weekend reunion organized by Sam Cabot. Among the brothers was Jerry Sullivan taking a break from his 100-mile weekly commute to Ripley Industries in Adamsville, Tennessee, from Germantown, near Memphis, where he and Mary live. A lawyer, Jerry ran Ripley, a family-owned maker of farm equipment , since 1977 and sold the company five years ago, staying on as a consultant. Sons Josh '90 and Chris are lawyers also.

There are reasons to retire and reasons not to. For Dick Swett, an orthopedist in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, the reason not to is that the town needs him. "I can't leave Mayo Regional Hospital in the lurch," he said. Dick and Caroline got away last summer for a walking tour through England and Scotland. Diana is applying to medical school and Laura is a student at University of California.

All aboard! Rich Godfrey, who recreated the New Hampshire railroad system in his Holden Massachusetts, basement, has himself joined a railroad, albeit at the Worcester Ecotarium formerly New England Science Center. There Rich takes kids on a mile-and-a-half train ride through a tunnel and past th animal exhibits. Rich was business systems manager at the Norton Cos., a 100-plus-year-old abrasives manufacturer. He and Joyce have three children and six grandchildren.

Bill King captained the first undefeated Dartmouth football team in 37 years, points out A1 Davis '52 in an e-mail, not 27 years, as I earlier reported. What you might not know is that Bill has cultivated a first-class arboretum on 17 acres near Richmond, Virginia, where he and wife Grace hosted a wedding in August for Graces son Jonathan Wilhelm den Hartog '04, who married Julia Rebecca Post '04. Bill's daughter Suzanna King '91 is married to Rob Kornblum '91. Bill also has a son, Will, living in Colorado and Grace has a daughter, Mattie den Hartog, studying at Tulane.
