Al '57 and Kay German Dean maintain residences in Massachusetts
and Maine. Al is president of S & D, Inc. and has eight Midas Auto Systems in
Maine. As director of the National Midas Dealers Association, Al has been
responsible for developing, with Central Maine Vocational College, a national
training program to train Midas managers on interpersonal skills. Asked what he
considers success, Al first listed having three sons (all gainfully employed)
who have become mature men and of whom he and Kay are very proud. Al is
starting construction of an airplane to fly to our 40th
reunion! . . . Bradley and Helen Payson Seager are
now both retired but still live in Nantucket. After 10 years of having married
children live with them, they are free to do what they want when they want.
Helen is involved with the Friends of the African Meeting House on Nantucket
and this past summer developed a self-guided Black Heritage Trail for the
island. Helen leaves us with some words of wisdom for people of our age: "If we
thought we'd so something `someday,' now's the time to do it. Our `somedays'
are getting shorter and shorter." . . . Ludmila Winter
Hoffman and her husband, Herbert, are former psychologists who own and run
a bed-and-breakfast in La Garita de Alajuela, Costa Rica. In case you're ever
in that area, you might consider staying with them at La Pina Dorada, where
Herb and Mila are "dedicated to making your vacation free from frustrations,
full of fun and relaxation." . . . Bob Hesse and his
wife, Gail, have retired and are living in Massachusetts. They have raised
three sons (one of whom was in the Class of '84). Last summer Bob enjoyed a
Zete mini-reunion at Boothbay with Warren Judd, Ed Rushton and
Bob Walther and their wives. . . . Judy Brown
Dickson is still an educator and English language leader way up in
Kongiganak, Alaska, although she has purchased a town house in Anchorage, which
is civilization. Judy raised three children, all now married and/or out of
college. She has been a presenter at a math/science conference and a
multilingual conference in Anchorage and will be a presenter for a National
Council for Teachers of Math regional conference in October
1997. . . . Virginia True Masterson is a special
education paraprofessional, teaching remedial math to children in grades six
through eight. She lives in San Jose, Calif., with her husband, Paul, and they
have their own word processing business at home. Unfortunately, Jean has been
"in the rocking chair" as she recovered from chemotherapy and radiation for
breast cancer in February 1996. She now feels about ready to take a
long-awaited trip to Hawaii this spring. . . . Ron Moran
is an associate dean and professor of English at Clemson University. He and
his wife, Jane, have twins who now have made the Morans grandparents three
times. Ron writes that he's had a good life and this past year received an
"award for Faculty Excellence " by the Clemson Board of Trustees. (Your
freshman-year English professor would be proud of you, Ron!) Like others of us
at this stage of life, Ron has experienced knee surgery, which he says made him
walk and feel like the tin man. . . . Flint and
Helen Roberts Moger have retired from their teaching careers and from
Merrick, Long Island, to Kennebunk, Maine. They bought in southern Maine
because of the milder winters and proceeded to have 144 inches of snow last
year. Then they bought a bigger snowblower and a bigger wood
stove! . . . Another couple making the retirement move as of
November 1996 is Charlotte (Clifton '61) and Norm Lee. They live in
Sarasota, Fla., for six months and the other six months in Maine. Both places
afford them the opportunity to travel, hike, ski, play tennis and golf. Travel
plans include taking their daughter, son-in-law and expected grandchild to
Alaska this coming August. . . . John Ludwig writes from Fort
Washington, Md., where he and Sandy have had a home for the past three years.
Sandy is a bankruptcy attorney with the Administrative Offices of the U.S.
Courts. John says he is "trying to improve his skills as a marine electrical
and corrosion control specialist, working primarily with marine services in Ft.
Washington." Both are active with the Tantallon Yacht Club in Ft. Washington
and have enjoyed many weeks over the past eight summers cruising the Potomac
River and Chesapeake Bay. . . . Please respond to the next
