As you read this column it will be nearly a year since our big reunion
at Colby. News of mini-reunions continues to arrive along with some great
photos for my official class "album." Lois Latimer Pan and husband Ed
hosted "The Great Colby Sleepover" in November. Included were Heidi Pauly
Lansing, Nancy Ann Wormuth Thomas, Pete and Ginny Birnie
Byrnes, Phil '57 and Nancy Carroll Luce, Johnny Lee '53, Kathy
Vogt, Vonnie Noble Davies, Barbara Preston Hayes, Joanna
McCurdy Brunso and husband Jorgen. Lois reports that reconnecting with the
old gang reinforced her feeling from June's reunion that attending Colby was a
really solid decision. Thanks, Lois, for the note and great pictures and e-mail
addresses. It is awesome how many classmates have e-mail. We'll be hyping our
45th on the Internet! . . . And thanks, Shirley Verga
Montini-Turiansky, for your nice letter with all the Colby memories.
Shirley returns to campus almost every year for Reunion Weekend. Initially she
brought her boys on the bus from N.Y.C. every June so they could share the
place and people that had meant so much to her. Shirley now lives in Waterbury,
Conn. . . . Ruth Ann Head Horner would love to hear
from any classmates now that she has moved to Sunapee, N.H., after the death of
her husband. She has started a new career in real estate but still manages to
enjoy "The Big Apple," where her two daughters work. Old friends, please drop
Ruth Ann a note at P.O. Box 794, 03782. . . . Gloria Livelli
Moscatello was a member of our class for one year before transferring to
N.J. State Teachers College. She still keeps up with our class news and would
like to hear from Katie Coon Dunlop. She has lived in Springfield, Va.,
for 28 years, teaching elementary education while husband Art travels the globe
for the Department of Defense. . . . Frank Huntress
reports that he is not retiring. His change in careers from pre-med to the
ministry has enabled him to live in England and Jerusalem, but he continues his
ministry here in Massachusetts. Do you ever come out this way to preach,
Frank? . . . Janet Nordgren Meryweather has decided
to concentrate on her own gardens now that her two-year presidency of the
Garden Club Federation of Maine is finished. She and Steen spend part of each
winter in Florida, where they see Otto and Nancy Hubbard Green.
Janet reports that the Greens are building a place back up in
Maine. . . . Mary Ann Papalia Laccubue ended her
lengthy teaching career (high school math) in June '95. She and husband Ron
have enjoyed several trips to Italy since then. Mary Ann and Jean Pratt
Moody were able to have a Thanksgiving weekend mini-reunion in Dallas,
where both were visiting their sons and families.
Marty Burger '58 is co-chair of the business and professional
division of the United Jewish Appeal Campaign Cabinet.
Deep-Seated Success
Retirement is no big vacation for Philip Hussey '53. Last fall,
after giving up his chair as president and CEO of the Hussey Seating Company,
one of the leading suppliers of spectator seating in the world, he headed off
to the Far East--on business. [CONTINUE]
