1951

Iam often struck by the many ways in which the world has redefined and eliminated borders since our day. My son, John ’82, lives in Myanmar; more than 30 of his classmates have addresses outside the United States. (“The sun never sets on the class of ’82!”)

By contrast, seven ’51s live abroad: Wes Blake (Ottawa, Canada); Wusun Lin (Beijing); Bob McCabe (Paris); Dave McDonough (Bagna di Lucca, Italy); Mo Monahan (Motueka, New Zealand); Franz Pick (Munich); and Lucky Quesada (Lima, Peru).

Suzanne and Tom Barnett, on the other hand, didn’t even change zip codes when they sold their home and moved to a nearby retirement commu- nity. Tom’s description of downsizing, in words familiar to many of us: “We still have a ways to go on settling. Hanging pictures hasn’t begun yet, and though we lightened up big time on posses- sions prior to the move, we may have to skinny

up a little more.” Small world department: Jean and I recently visited former neighbors now living in a continu- ing care retirement community in Bloomfield, Connecticut. While there we bumped into Ilsa and Paul Orth and Connie and Jim Ballard. Paul retired from the bar at the end of 2014 after 60 years of practice, primarily in employment law. More recently he was especially active as a trustee, representing the interests of employees. He also taught law at night.

It was nice to hear from Suds Bissell (Welles- ley, Massachusetts). He recently completed 50 years as a very active trustee of Anatolia College in Greece; his daughter succeeded him on the board. “Anatolia is part of my family,” says Suds, adding that, “These are very tough times in Greece.” An- other ongoing passion for him: the stock market.

Another classmate who continues to be ac- tive and contributive is Herb Knight (St. Charles, Illinois). We meet for lunch periodically and it’s always fun to catch up. Herb is in regular touch with his old Tuck School roommate Dick McFarland (Excelsior, Minnesota), another remarkably giving citizen in Minneapolis and beyond.

Dr. Dick Schneider passed away in his home- town of Healdsburg, California. Dick had a dis- tinguished career in medicine and was the author of widely respected texts in orthopedic surgery.
