Russ Monbleau writes that he interpreted his release from
Digital as the "wind beneath his wings" and that he is enjoying pursuing a
variety of personal small-business endeavors that collectively will continue to
"treat him to the lifestyle to which he's become accustomed." He is engaged in
an insurance business, is the director of sales and marketing for Worldwide
Translations and is a consultant on staff to ProLink Consultants--a very busy
man. Grandson number four arrived this past summer. . . .
Attorney Nat Pitnof reports that his divorce is final and that he has
dissolved his law partnership and is now a sole practitioner. He continues to co-host a call-in
show on the law on WTAG in Worcester on Sunday mornings--stay tuned. Nat's
daughter, Rachel, is a senior at Bryn Mawr, having spent her junior year in
China. He expressed his sadness at the loss of Jason Berger '65. Life is a
mysterious mix of rejoicing and sorrow. . . . Gayle Poinsette
is managing social science computing at Dartmouth College; husband
Garfield Barnes is a travel agent. Their plans to go to Australia for
January through March to visit Garf's friends, hang out on the beach and eat
tropical fruit are enviable to those of us left in the cold
Northeast. . . . Andy Maizner describes his
occupation as builder/developer/investor/ski bum, a nice combination of stress
and pleasure! His wife, Elizabeth (Neily '67), is a child therapist and
trainer. His description of the menagerie of dogs, cats, gerbils and fish
illustrate that daughter Rose, 12, must have a merry home. The family lives in
Salt Lake City, Utah . . . . Gary McKinstry
says this is a period of life that for him is stable, and he constantly reminds
himself how lucky he is as he looks forward to continued exploration, knowledge
and excitement. . . . Carol Lordi is VP professional
services and systems engineering for Hitachi Data Systems. Carol asked that I
let everyone who attended the reunion know how much she appreciated the
photograph album from the reunion. . . . Ed Mowry wrote
to us for the first time since 1966, so we have some catching up to do. Ed is a
veterinarian in Carlsbad, Calif., and his wife, Maureen, is an instructor in
rhetoric and writing at their community college. Their two daughters are Kim,
17, and Julia, 15. Ed taught school in Augusta, Maine, for a year after
graduation before taking a four-year stint with the Marine Corps as a
helicopter pilot in Viet Nam. After returning to school--an M.S. from
U.C.-Davis and a D.V.M. from Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine in
1979--he subsequently built La Costa Animal Hospital in Carlsbad in
1984. . . . Diana Roesing O'Brien lives in
Lincolnville, Maine, with husband Wally, a junior high school teacher. Their
three sons are Bill, a math teacher, Ed, a college senior, and Andy, a high
school senior. Diane has recently written a social history of their town,
Ducktrap: Chronicles of a Maine Village. Her time is divided between
writing and weaving. She has a studio/shop in their barn where she makes and
sells her rugs and considers that she has the perfect job! . . .
Meg Fallon Wheeler sent an article about Gary Knight from the
Jan. 26, 1997, Lewiston, Maine, Sunday paper announcing Gary's election as
Maine's director on the board of the Independent Bankers Association of
America, a national trade association representing 6,000 community banks from
all 50 states. Gary is the president and CEO of Livermore Falls Trust.
Congratulations, Gary! Meg writes that she and Whizzer are loving their new full-time life in Maine.
