The Blue Light

Thanks to all of you for making this assignment a pleasure. Have you noticed that our class column is moving closer to the front of the magazine? It must be that we are getting more important! . . . Don Freedman is now a math teacher and living in Sheffield, Mass., with his wife, Susan, who is a psychoanalyst. Son Derek, 26, is a ski and snowboard instructor at Vail. Don sold his business in N.Y.C. in '92. His leisure activities include singing barbershop and "reffing" rugby. . . . Ralph Galante and his wife, Jane, became grandparents for the first time in April. Ralph will be retiring from American Airlines in October after 36-plus years of flying. He and Jane currently spend half of the year in Bonita Springs, Fla., and the other half in New Durham, N.H. . . . Arthur '59 and Louise Robb Goldschmidt still live in State College, Pa. When Louise wrote, she had just resigned as the community editor of Voices of Central Pennsylvania, a monthly newspaper, and was looking forward to a new project. Arthur is a history professor at The Pennsylvania State University, and they became grandparents in March. . . . Jim Haidas and his wife, Frances, are in Osterville, Mass. They have two sons, both at Milton Academy, and Jim says that with no prodding from him, his oldest fell in love with Colby and had just applied. Jim owns Cooke's Restaurants. . . . When Jane Holden Huerta wrote, she had just accepted a new job with Lotus Development and is now Lotus Education Manager, Latin America. Other than spending a lot of time on American Airlines, she loves traveling all over Latin America from Mexico to Argentina, including the Caribbean. She is based in Mexico City, where her husband, Juan Manuel, spends most of his time as a management consultant. They have two sons, both Colby grads. . . . Moretown, Vt., is still home for Bob and Liz Chamberlain Huss. Bob is a full professor in the accounting computer systems division at Champlain College, and Liz is self-employed tutoring and teaching. They have two daughters, and each one has presented them with a grandson. Bob and Liz spend their spare time skiing and playing tennis and golf. They spend their summers on Martha's Vineyard and are looking forward to retirement in a couple of years and sailing the Caribbean in their Catalina 42. . . . Peg Jack Johnston is still a full-time business broker in Colorado and says that entrepreneurship is alive and well, especially out there. She is very involved in Rotary and is working with Explorer Scouts on school to career programs. Peg has three sons and writes that life is wonderful and that growing older is a kick. She says it gets better every year. . . . Eloise "Didi" Camerer Klein is a writer, teacher and writing consultant. She lives in St. Paul, Minn., where she freelances as a writer and is developing a business teaching journal keeping with words and images. She also teaches creative writing to an energetic group of senior citizens. She writes, "I never imagined myself an entrepreneur, and here I am. My five `children' live along the East Coast between Hanover, N.H., and Philadelphia, and I visit them regularly. I spend as much of my summers as possible in Wyoming in the Sheridan/Buffalo/Big Horn Mountains area. Retired? you ask. No way!" . . . Sally Walker Simpson is a professor of education at Tri State University in Angold, Ind. Attendance at a national education convention raised her level of concern for public education, and she says she has been brought up short by the inequities that currently exist in education across our country. She says she truly hopes to really "retire" one of these days, but she loves to be in the thick of the action. Sally has a daughter who is a teacher, and her son is a student at Indiana U. . . . Ted '61 and I joined the "Grandparents Club" in mid-November. Our son and his wife live in Palo Alto, Calif., so the frequent flier miles are probably going to accumulate rather rapidly. . . . I look forward to hearing from more of you when the College sends out the next questionnaire.
