As this column takes form and we endure a frigid winter season, we
look forward to the promise of a warm and sunny Reunion Weekend. We can count
on seeing Sandy Miller Keohane this June. She and Ken design furniture
and other household items that can be found at their Hingham Square shop,
Earthly Possessions. Sandy creatively uses old material, broken china, for
instance, and she's on the lookout for objects for her work. Sandy and Ken have
four children at work or in college and a high school senior living at
home. . . . Eric Meindl visited family in England as
he traveled to London on business connected to his position as chief of data
systems division for the national data buoy center of the National Weather
Service. Eric's wife, Vickie, supervises nurses in obstetrics at a St. Louis
hospital, and son Patrick, 16, is in high school. Perhaps Eric can be in charge
of Reunion Weekend weather so we can avoid a washout like we had in
'92? . . . Business trips also allow Newland Lesko
to visit family, in this case in the Pine Tree State, as Newland oversees a
major paper machine rebuilding at International Paper's plant in Jay. Newland,
an IP vice president, lives with his wife, Lisa, son Blake, 9, and twin
daughters Lauralee and Christa, 7. Newland's older son, Jon, is a manager at
Bath Iron Works, and daughter Jani is a C.P.A. in
Chicago. . . . Caroline Kresky is proud of her
daughter, Deborah Bernstein, as she prepares to graduate from Stanford with a
marathon in Seattle while her mom cheers her on. Caroline still lives in
Atlanta, where she is a partner with the law firm Holland &
Knight. . . . Kate Maloy keeps busy with a houseful of
cats, her son, Adam, 11, and her position as communications director at the
learning research and development center at the University of Pittsburgh. In
addition, Kate works on a novel, edits the writing of others, gardens and
enjoys being a mother. . . . After 20-plus years away from
direct involvement in teaching, Bruce MacAdam has taken a position
instructing Outward Bound, and he would love to tell us more about the
program. . . . Congratulations to Roberta "Sookie"
Stockwell and Carl Weymouth of Winthrop, Maine, who were married in
September. Sookie's son, Todd, received his master's degree in civil
engineering at the University of Texas and now works in Virginia. Sookie's
daughter, Heather, is a senior at RIT majoring in metals and jewelry. Sookie
and Carl live in Maine and enjoy cross-country skiing and caring for
animals. . . . We wish the very best to Linda (Mitchell
'66) and Lee Potter on the late summer wedding of their son
Ben. . . . We may be preparing for our 30th reunion, but
that doesn't mean we've decided to sit and rock on the front porch! Take, for
example, Sue Barden Johnson, who recently finished her medical training
and moved to Paradise Valley, Ariz., to begin a practice in pediatric
allergies. (Business is booming because all of those allergy sufferers moved to
Arizona to escape the allergens and married other allergy sufferers and had
kids, who are now her patients!) Sue's husband, Mark, also a doctor, has
started a new gerontology practice in a Dell Webb retirement community in the
area. Since their son, Nolan, will be graduating from Harvard in June, Sue
plans to swing north to Colby to attend the 30th before returning home to her
patients. . . . Even though she took early retirement from
teaching on Cape Cod in the fall of 1993, Donna Lumpkin has kept busy.
She writes from Chatham that she is pursuing a future in photography and
travels whenever possible, including a recent visit to Pompano Beach, Fla.
Donna, your class correspondents both envy you. We both are in Massachusetts
public schools and have a long way to go before retirement. Even the
luxury of being able to travel to Florida at a time other than peak weeks of
school vacation sounds pretty good to us. Best of luck on your new
ventures. . . . Some of Tom McCrumm' s friends
convinced him at age 50 to enter a 50-mile bike race through the Green
Mountains of central Vermont. He finished eighth out of 14 in his age category
and ahead of 100 younger riders. Fighting Fifty continues!
. . . Fred Hopengarten and his wife, Dr. Betty Herr, are
kept busy with the activities of their kids. Somehow Betty juggles her
psychiatric practice and being a soccer mom. But they did find time to visit
with members of Betty's family in Israel and to fit in some time at Martha's
Vineyard and Moosehead Lake. We'll look forward to seeing you in June, Fred.
