IN TRANSIT: Bob Lewis is alive after all. He has been moving around—he’s a transit executive! After Colby he joined the army and was a battery commander in Turkey and Fort Carson. He earned an M.B.A. in 1973 from Columbia the year after he married Genevieve. They moved to Washington State (Olympia and Seattle) in 1974. He was a transit executive and started a small software company. In 1989, he moved to L.A. and Long Beach—still in transit. Next to Denver in 1998 as transit executive/C.I.O. He’s now retired in Denver and enjoys golf, fly fishing, mountain climbing, motorcycling, skiing, and rafting in Alaska (see he’s still “in transit”). He’ll explain all this at our 50th. * Bill and Shirlee Clark Neil returned from a Block Island holiday with the kids and grandchildren in August. Earlier they had visited the Holy Land. “Virtually the entire country is a large 4,000-year-old outdoor museum. Life is good” * Linda Stearns went to Berlin last summer to visit her newest granddaughter. When I asked for news of her husband, Tom, he replied “Who do you think carries the suitcases on her trips?” * Barbara McGillicuddy Bolton is hard at work on her book Lulu Goes to College, a novel set in 1961-62 about a girl from northern Maine attending a small liberal arts college in central Maine (RELS college?). She hopes to have this published in time for our 50th. * Andy ’64 and Nancy Greer Weiland celebrated his 70th with a family trip, including daughter Sarah ’93, to Rome and Tuscany for 10 days followed by a week of cycling in the Italian Alps. The granddaughters are already asking to go back “for grandpa’s 75th.” The Weilands summer on Panther Pond in Raymond, Maine. She has retired, but Andy, a surgeon, flies up for long weekends. * Ann and Bud Marvin were able to visit our classmate Roland Morneau days before he passed away this summer. * Fran Holmes Varney enjoyed family gatherings in southern Maine with their kids and families from Indiana, Virginia, and Mass. She was also happy to see Judy Guptill Simmons in New Sharon, Maine, after a three-year gap. * Jean Hoffmann ’66 and Neil Clipsham were going through “Olympic withdrawal” as this was written. “It’s a good thing I didn’t know how much I was going to enjoy retirement. I can take three days to power wash the deck, nobody complains.” They’re off to Fairbanks and Denali to “kiss a sled dog or two and watch the glaciers calve” before a coastal cruise for a week. (Neil, if you see a grizzled and fit mountain man in the distance, it might be our Marty Dodge. He’s been on the trail again—Alaska’s Chugatch National Forest, Denali National Park, and other exotic places.) Then on to Oregon for a week of reunion with a dozen of his Woodsmen. “Life is good.” * Class president Harold Kowal and wife Ruth rented an RV and motored up the Maine coast to Campobello Island. Their first granddaughter arrived this summer, a child of Susannah ’96 and Richard LaCroix. Harold is leading a group of our classmates who are making plans for our 50th. “We want 100 percent attendance at that auspicious event.” HAIL, COLBY, HAIL
