Rosemary Athearn Smith wrote a long and informative letter about her busy life as the pastor of the Monticello, N.Y., United Methodist Church, a schedule that includes participation in community affairs through the local Human Rights Commission, the Federation for the Homeless and the Clergy Association. Rosemary graduated from Drew University Theological School and was ordained in 1987. She and her husband really enjoy their grandchildren, who, according to Rosemary, "help us keep a youthful and optimistic outlook on life." Just what we all need.  . . .  This is my last column as your class secretary, and I want to thank you all for helping write the column by sending lots of news. I look forward to representing you as our class president for the next five years.  . . .  I have just finished the booklet of information that you all sent me for the reunion, and it was a very interesting project. For those of you who didn't get to the reunion and would like a copy, please send $2 to cover postage and handling to the Alumni Office, Colby College, Waterville, ME 04901. Hope you're having a great summer, and keep your news coming to your new class secretary, Carolyn Lockhart.

Planning has already started for our 35th reunion (June 6-9, 1996). Many have expressed interest in a few days at Samoset before the weekend--dates would be June 4 and 5. Another idea being explored: have our rooms at Colby available several days early and schedule fun things like picnics and golf before everyone else gets there. Let anyone on the committee know how you feel about those two ideas, and we'll keep you posted as we get closer. At the first meeting of the reunion committee in Boston on April 9 were Dave Bergquist, Bob Burke, Denny Dionne, Ned Gow, Claire Lyons, Scotty MacLeod Folger, Bev Lapham and David Ziskind. Also on the committee are Gordon Cummings, Dick Fields, Richard Gibbs, Gordon Prud'Hommeaux, John Kelly, Sally Thompson Solari and Penny Sullivan. We are still looking for additional members, so if you would like to volunteer, please call David Ziskind at 212-477-1900. If you have any suggestions, want to serve as a class officer or be my replacement as class correspondent between the 35th and the 40th, contact one of the committee members (or me).  . . Ernie Trowbridge is flying for North American Airlines, doing Club Med charter flights and El Al feeder flights, and promises to be at reunion if he can.  . . .  Carla Possinger Short, unable to be on the committee, will try to be at the reunion. Her daughter, Andrea, graduated from Davidson College this May and was looking for a job (political science) in D.C.  . . .  Sally Thompson Solari was in the home stretch of getting her master's in social work from Fordham in May, carrying 14 academic credits as well as working three days a week doing in-patient psychiatric work in the county hospital. She has three married sons, two grandchildren and a wonderful daughter at Catholic University in D.C.  . . . Bill Wahtola, who has been a successful heating and plumbing contractor in Hyannis for over 20 years, also promised to try to be at the reunion. Although he was not at Colby all four years, he wrote the greatest letter about what the College had meant to him. He closed with a quote from Simon and Garfunkel that we all can subscribe to at the 35th: "though there have been changes upon changes, we are more or less the same." He also informed me that Dawn Mitchell had died. Many of us will remember her fondly. Bill and his wife, Lorraine, see Brad Steere and his wife, Dorothy, on a regular basis. They got together thanks to Steve Chase, who reports that he and Frank D'Ercole have been having fun trying to find John Hooper . . . Mary Sawyer Durgin reports that she heard from Janice Dukeshire Halliwell, and she as well as Carla and Sally plan to be at the 35th. Mary was recently promoted to chief of the collection division at the IRS office (and I'm writing this on 4/15!) in Sacramento, Calif. She has about 250 people working for her there. Her son, Kevin, is in Boston attending Merrimack College.  . . . Steve Dellaquila checked in from Clinton, Conn. He has opened a construction company in Charlotte, N.C., and is considering moving there. He and his wife, Donna, have two daughters, both recently married.  . . .  Janet Haskins Mandaville tells of the experience of moving from many years of marriage to solo living, including clearing the family manor of 27 years of five people's stuff. They had a unique family reunion and celebrated one weekend with birthdays, Christmas stockings and Fourth of July fireworks. (The neighbors caught on to what was happening and showed up in Halloween costumes carrying Easter baskets.) Janet has been spending lots of time in Australia and has taken up home brewing.  . . . Sandy Nolet Eielson is happy to be tuition free finally and having son Kris working in Massachusetts and daughter Kerry working for The New York Times in Paris, France. She is engaged to marry her high school and college sweetheart of 34 years ago, Dean Quinlan.  . . .  Kent Davidson reports from Los Alamitos, Calif., that he teaches marketing at UCLA and serves as vice president at Pacific Precision Metals, a supplier to Fleetwood Motorhomes. He has two kids in college at UC Riverside and UC San Diego.  . . .  You can reach me on the Internet: penny@opnsys.com.

Tony Kramer is a mortgage banker living in Burr Ridge, Ill. He and wife Linda have two children --Stephanie and Stephen-- ages 7 and 6. His company is involved with the Quail West Golf and Country Club in Naples, Fla., so he had lots of trips to Florida this winter. He and Linda are also active in the Coast Guard Auxiliary and do patrols on Lake Michigan. Tony serves as a Colby overseer and visited the Performing Arts Department last year--a "marvelous department," he says, "with a very impressive faculty and students."  . . .  Linda Nicholson Goodman is a school psychologist and consultant to the city of New London, Conn. --place where I "wuz raised," as they say in Texas. Linda and her husband, Dave, who is president of his own electronics firm, live in Oakdale in a lovely home "in the country." Their sons include Jay, 31, a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in environmental science who is currently teaching at the American University in Armenia (and getting married in September); Jim, 29, with a law degree from the University of San Francisco, who is working for Sensor Applications in Connecticut; and Bill '91, 26, who is a product manager for Kid Magic in San Francisco. Linda got together with Anne Ticknor McNeece and husband Rob. Anne also has sons and is a supervisor of special needs teachers. So both Linda and Anne work with adolescents who have "tough life adjustment decisions" to make and who struggle to get through school.  . .   Brenda Phillipps Gibbons is in real estate sales in Marion, Mass. Brenda has remarried, and she and her husband, Bob, have four children between them. Brenda's are Doug, 30, who works in sports TV in Berkeley, Calif., and Susan, 28, who works at MTV in New York City. Bob's family includes Robbie, an attorney in NYC, and Lisa, who also works in NYC. Brenda and Bob's first grandchild, Devon, was born in January. Brenda mentioned a birthday celebration for Doug this year with her sister, Joan Phillipps Thompson '64 and her husband, Steve '63, and their two boys and one wife. Joan Thompson has a new series of books for children ages 8 through 12 called Lucy Russell Centerstage. Brenda also said that she still sings with the choral society and is very involved in the town's cultural life. She and Bob love to sail and not only sailed in the Opera House Cup in Nantucket last summer but also spent two weeks in the Keys. They also sail with Steve and Mary Ballantyne Gentle in Edgartown each summer. Brenda mentioned Sid Farr's retirement and Mr. "G" Gillespie's passing and remembers the "cocoa and Fig Newtons?" Kind of sad to see our class's Colby connections getting less and less.  . . .  Dave Jacobson, an anthropologist teaching at Brandeis in Massachusetts, and wife Lois, a vice president in marketing, traveled to California last summer and Florida this winter and planned trips to California and Europe this summer. The Jacobsons have five children, the youngest graduating from college last year. With a colleague, Dave has published a book, Spying Without Spies (Praeger), a project he says was an interesting departure from his usual work. He appreciates "Colby's reputation as a great place."  . . .  Sandra Keef Hunter is a real estate sales person in East Hampton, N.Y. Her husband, Steven, is a creative director in advertising. Sandra is becoming a naturalist, has participated in bird and waterfowl counts and says that her data is becoming "accepted and trusted." She recently completed a marine shell collection of Eastern Long Island shells for the South Fork Natural History Museum.  . . .  Ed Kyle still serves on the Alumni Council, which means he gets to visit Colby twice a year. Ed is a civil engineer with the New Hampshire Department of Transportation. His wife, Penny, is an elementary teacher in Concord, N.H. Their son Ted graduated from Middlebury in 1992 and, says Dad, "is happily seeking his fortune on the slopes in Jackson Hole, Wyo." Ed joined Bill Chase and three other folks in a 10-day hiking trip to Switzerland in September, and in March he skied Killington (Vt.) with Allie Weller. Ed and I want to remind you all to start planning now for our 35th. We doexpect everyone to be there.

Lady Winter dealt gently with New England this year, but Bill and I went to Telluride, Colo., to cross-country and downhill ski for a week, so we had a real taste of snow. While there, Dian Emerson Sparling drove eight hours from her home in Ft. Collins to ski the high country with us in the glorious warm sunshine. No kidding! Dian is a midwife practitioner and somehow finds time for amazing outdoor adventures such as skiing the Tenth Mountain Trail and scuba diving in Belize. Often her two college-age sons accompany her.  . . . Marcia Achilles McComb is manager of accounts receivable for a large radiology group in Maryland but has plans for finding a less stressful and more rewarding job in the near future. Sounds like a healthy plan. She and her husband, Don, who is a chemistry teacher in both high school and college, are involved in several aspects of volunteer support at the Holocaust Museum. . . . From his farm in Norridgewock, Maine, Warren Balgooyen writes that there are "no changes [in my life]." Warren is a freelance naturalist in the spring and summer, runs a landscaping business, raises golden shiners in five fish ponds, which he sells as bait wholesale and retail, makes maple syrup, does carpentry work (he's built three cabins), has a portable saw mill and makes his own lumber and raises Christmas trees. Sounds like there is very little time to make any changes! Warren's wife, Helen, is head nurse at Colby. . . .  Julie Dodge Burnham writes from Warner, N.H., where she is a guidance counselor. Julie is gradually restoring an 1800s cape and renovating a summer place on Lake Winnipesaukee.  . . .  When Ivan Freed last wrote a year ago, he was considering leaving the stresses of owning his own business. Today he writes that he is unemployed and happily skiing every week, collecting baseball cards and perennials, chucking years of collected debris from his cellar and visiting his grown children with his wife, Shirley. He can still hit a 20-foot jumpshot. How much better can life be? . . .  Sue Pelson Gillum reports that she is a landlubber now, having moved from her boat to the shore at Jensen Beach, Fla. She rooms with two exotic cats and is employed as team leader of an ESOL department of a local school system. Sue is the proud owner of a 1984 custom Corvette, which she enters competitively in shows. She is planning a trip to the Far East: Hong Kong, Shanghai and the Great Wall of China.  . . .  Another classmate who has made the move to a more flexible job is Ann "Booty" Bruno Hocking. A year ago Booty left her position as a vice president at Fleet Bank and became a realtor, a job she loves. She and her husband, David, a stockbroker, have just built a new house in Durham, Conn. Booty is acquiring an interest in antiques and enjoys quilting and other handcrafts. Booty and David spend each summer at Lake Winnipesaukee, enjoying the peace and quiet of the woods.  . .  Peter French works at Alcan Ingot in Aurora, Ohio, where he lives with his wife, Muriel, and is parent to four children. Peter neglected to turn over the questionnaire so his news is sparse, or maybe he's just a man of few words!  . . .  Bill and I have a house on the market and one being built. This situation causes us some sleepless nights, but what is life without a few risks? Our older daughter married in July in Washington, D.C. I am thankful for the technology of electric air cooling! . . . Thank you for your letters and your greetings. It is such fun getting mail from old friends.

Charles Fallon, financial advisor in Rochester, N.Y., has completed a four-year stint as first executive director of the New York State Middle School Association. His wife, Barbara, is one of three U. S. school administrators to receive a Fulbright Exchange Scholarship, and Charles was looking forward to visiting her in England for her 50th. He says both sons are getting great grades, one at Skidmore and the other in high school.  . . .  Jean Martin Fowler now has six grandsons. She and her husband still love sailing, the British Virgin Islands being their favorite spot.  . . Dick Friary called in April to say that two classmates were in The New York Times on the same day: Doris Kearns Goodwin won the Pulitzer Prize for history, and Ambassador Bob Gelbard was cited extensively with regard to the drug trade in Mexico. Dick also reported that he has created a clinically safe and effective drug for the treatment of psoriasis and that he is writing a book on skate sailing.  . .  Jack Friberg, a lawyer in Manchester, N.H., has two sons: John graduated from Colgate and from Boston College Law School this year, and Gregory graduated from Middlebury this year and plans to attend New York Medical College.  . . .  Art Fulman was elected to the board of selectmen of Concord, Mass., and likes dealing with public policy issues. However, he says, "the process is often frustrating and very slow. Clearly, public anger is not limited to our national leaders." He and his wife biked in the Tarn River Valley in France last summer and will tour Maine and Vermont this year. . . . Jan Stoddard Gagnon's husband is currently on various international assignments, so she will occupy her time studying for her Ph.D. in adult clinical psychology at West Virginia University.

Joan Thiel Hadley has a wonderful new daughter-in-law. . . . Kitty Hartford tells of a "rock party" held by her sister, Paula Chapin Hartford '66. All family members and friends were asked to bring a large rock-- with which they built a stone wall along her driveway! Kitty's family, all five generations, gather at her mother's house in Boothbay Harbor for all traditional holidays and milestone occasions.  . . .  Barbie Carr Howson sent me a great picture of her family. (Feel free to send me any family photos for the next reunion!) Barb and husband Red, with their youngest daughter, were on their way to New Orleans last Easter to visit Suzy Noyes Mague, who promised to show them the swamp, "her latest passion." . . .  Colleen Khoury, off to Italy this summer, says she and David have been in a book group for six years and have read a host of wonderful books.  . . . Nancy Saylor Kimball has two daughters in college, one at Bates and one at Wheaton in Illinois. Both studied in France last year, so Nancy and Bob met them and toured southern France for two weeks, visiting places Nancy had been to in the '60s, then London, then Wales and finally Paris. Back home they had a young Polish woman staying with them during her internship at an HMO.  . . . Ken Levy, president of Eastern Numismatics, Inc., used the best stamps on his envelope! He reports, "returned to Maine for the first time since graduation, vacationed in Bar Harbor (yuck!) and Kennebunkport (heaven on earth). Planning to go again this May."  . . .  As a professional working in the environmental field for 25 years, Bruce Lippincott has found that Free Market Environmentalism by Terry L. Anderson and Donald R. Leal "offers a very different perspective about paying to rectify environmental problems or avoid them in the future. Federal subsidies, pork barrel projects and compliance fines are de-emphasized and free market economics are proposed.  . .  I found this interesting and certainly thought provoking."  . . . Jack Lockwood, who travels a lot from home base in Hawaii, went to Delaware for his father's 90th birthday in April and to Papua New Guinea, in May.  . . . Marcia Phillips Sheldon says she enjoys teaching in an intermediate school, "a simple, but meaningful, life." She sees Steve Schoeman from time to time. Ken and Ann Schmidt Nye were expected for a visit, she writes, "and I talked to CeCe Sewall Potter last summer. Colby friends are like family."

Thanks for all the news, classmates. I'll have to save some for the next column. Nancy Short Hall finds her work as technology aide at the Middle School in Colchester, Vt., challenging. She continues her long involvement as a Girl Scout leader, and she and husband Wayne greatly enjoy square dancing two or three times a week--a terrific method of stress management and exercise, says Nancy, and also a wonderful way to make friends at various conventions they attend. They have a son, David, who's a junior business major at UMaine-Orono and a very busy, bright daughter, Kristin, a high school junior. . . .  Dr. Bruce McDonald, a surgeon in Austin, Texas, describes his major lifestyle change since he and his partner merged with another medical-surgical group: more free time for relaxation, which he's putting to good use. He's enjoyed skiing in Vail, windsurfing on the coast and a dive trip to Mexico, two weeks in Europe in June and visits to San Diego, Canada and New England. Bruce continues to do photography, has won some awards and had some pictures published.  . . .  In July 1994, Patricia Davis Murphy, Ph.D., took a new position as director of lab operations with a start-up biotechnology company in Gaithersburg, Md., Oncor Med, which specializes in DNA-based cancer testing. In her work, she oversees the diagnostic lab, technology transfer, customer service and risk assessment. She finds it great fun to be in on the ground floor of such an exciting field. Son Michael (Colby '95) spent six months in Ireland with the Colby in Cork program. She and husband Donal visited him in March 1994 (and discovered "Waterville" in County Kerry). Pat is greatly pleased to see daughter Lori following in her footsteps. She's a junior at Brown majoring in molecular biology.  . . .  Carol Jones O'Brien and her husband, Dennis, are both psychotherapists in private practice in the Washington, D.C., suburbs.

"We're managing to keep our acts together, I think!" says Carol.  . .  Richard Moriarty, M.D., who's chairman of the department of pediatrics at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, MD., was recently appointed program director for the first-ever joint Army-Navy pediatric residency training program.

Rick and wife Patty, a speech pathologist, have a daughter and son: Colleen, 18, who just graduated from high school (and was offered admission at Colby), and Richie, 15, a freshman and budding thespian and comedian. Rick sends his best to the rest of the class.

The best part of being class correspondent is that through your responses to questionnaires I get a sense of what diverse and interesting paths we've taken since leaving Colby. The worst part, of course, is the deadline every few months, which precipitates flashbacks to my knocking off papers on my trusty Smith-Corona at the last possible moment.  . . .  Kerry Hayes is a still photographer who has worked on films such as Legends of the Fall and Nobody's Fool. Kerry lives in Toronto, Ont., with his wife, Maggie, and three children, Ali, Zoe and Piper.  . . . Michael and Peggy Philson Foose live in Virginia with Tara, 10, and Michael, 7. Michael (the elder), a geologist, has traveled recently to Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, Morocco and Mali among other interesting places.  . . .  Warren Heller, an attorney in Milford, Mass., is the first male president of the board of directors of his local visiting nurse association and the proud "father" of his nicely named dog, Colby.  . .  Dave Demers is the father of three daughters, Emily, 20, Jeannie, 19, and Katie, 16. Dave is a teacher and writes that he loved coaching high school varsity girls' soccer last year.  . . .  Susan (Doten '70) and Larry Greenberg live in Hastings-on-Hudson, N.Y., with their two teenage sons. Larry, an international economist, vacationed in London with his family earlier this year.  . . .  I had the opportunity to speak with Laurie Killoch Wiggins, who describes the year following our reunion as "just as crazy" as the year before. Laurie, Ines Ruelius Altemose, their husbands and Paul Wielan got together in New York City to see the Cirque du Soleil, which Laurie describes as magnificent. . . .  Responses to my question of what flashes to mind when you hear of Colby included the library clock and fraternity parties (Michael Foose), the beautiful campus and Maine winters (Larry Greenberg), the smell of both spring (Warren Heller) and beer (Rick Frantz) and finding (future) wife Cheryl Moriarty '70's lost contact lens outside Dana Hall on their first date (Bud Higgins). Our memories are rich and wonderfully varied. Please stay in touch.
