1982

I just returned from Hanover, where I attended Club and Affiliated Group Officers Weekend. Also in town were Rachel Froman Bettencourt, Jonathan Marvel and Sally Adnopoz Gendler. I also got to meet Lillian Cousins Giornelli’s daughter Adelaide, a first year at Dartmouth who sings with the Rockapellas.

David Conard is an attorney at Langrock Sperry & Wool in Burlington, Vermont. When not practicing law David enjoys renovating old wooden boats. He writes, “I just sold a 23-foot Herreshoff sloop and still have a 21-foot Herre- shoff cat yawl, plus a half-dozen smaller boats. I also restored a 1921 Old Town rowing canoe.” His wife, Carol, allows him to have as many boats as he wants as long as they all fit in the barn.

Jay Miller reports that he hosted ’82 cocktails at his home in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in January, when Cheryl Bascomb was in town visiting from Maine. Other attendees included Steve Faber, Todd Markman, Paul Habegger and Woody Kingman.

Dong-Joon “DJ” Lee is a plastic surgeon at Kaiser Permanente in West Los Angeles. He performs the full range of plastic surgery, including cleft lip and palate, breast and head and neck reconstruction as well as cosmetic surgery such as facelifts, tummy tucks and liposuction. Can he get a group discount for our class?

Tim May lives in Newport, Rhode Island, where he enriches the community with his musical talents. He plays guitar and banjo and performs in a group called the South Coast Rovers. Tim says, “If you’re ever in Newport on a Sunday evening go to the Fastnet Pub at 1 Broadway for Irish music.” Tim is a math teacher at a local public high school.

Peter Lambert lives nearby in Barrington, Rhode Island, where he volunteers with the Katie Brown Education Program, which educates the community about relationship violence against females. Katie Brown was a local teenager who was murdered by her boyfriend. How many of you knew that Peter worked as a firefighter and paramedic at the Hanover Fire Department during our years in Hanover? He also is the “top gun” of our class, having flown fighter jets for the U.S. Air Force.

Margaret Smith works as an attorney in the division of trading and markets at the Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington, D.C. She and her husband just sold their Capitol Hill house and moved to the Maryland suburbs. As students Margaret and I both worked as newscasters at WDCR, where we received many irate calls from local residents whenever we mispronounced the names of local towns. Who knew Barre, Vermont, was pronounced “Barry”?

George Thompson Jr. practices law in Westborough, Massachusetts, where he has been appointed co-chair of the health law section of the Massachusetts Bar Association. George specializes in civil litigation. Is that an oxymoron? He also serves on the Westborough board of selectmen and writes: “I do enjoy the chance to serve my community, meet people outside of my profession and get involved in different issues and challenges.”

Russell Gombosi is a doctor in eastern Pennsylvania, where he lives with his wife, Juliann. They have three daughters, Elizabeth, Emily and Marissa, who “love swimming, are good students and are generally well behaved.” Six degrees of separation: Russell’s mother and my father were high school classmates in Easton, Pennsylvania.

Hugh Rauscher lives in Williamstown, Massachusetts, where he does financial writing, marketing communication and project management for investment firms. He, wife Nancy and their children Henry and Charlotte enjoy their beautiful surroundings with ample chance to hike, bike and ski. I wish you all a wonderful spring!
