These pages contain all class notes from the Yale Alumni Magazine from 1957 on. The notes appear unchanged from their original publication save for the correction of misspellings and other small errors. The few gaps in coverage that exist result from the absence of Class of 1957 notes in a few issues of the magazine over the years. Also, in keeping with changes in the magazine itself, the frequency of publication occasionally changes.

Notes: December 1987

Start the New Year right! Put a circle around Saturday, January 23, the first annual (we hope) mini-day in New Haven for the Class of 1957. We would like a banner turnout. Spend the afternoon touring Yale's museums or take in a sports event at Payne Whitney. At 3 p.m. there will be an open Class Council meeting at Rose Alumni House on York Street, followed at 4 p.m. by a discussion by an outstanding panel headed by Sam Chauncey on Science, Industry and Business Development in New Haven. We will then adjourn to the Presidents' Room in Woolsey Hall for cocktails and dinner followed by the Yale-Cornell hockey game. Invitations will be sent to alumni in the region, but if you are outside the region, like myself, and plan to come, just drop me a note at the above address or call me at 301-244-7510, and we will be glad to take care of you.

Congratulations are in order for Mike Cooke. Mike has just been named Bird White Housum Professor of English Literature at Yale. Mike has been on the Yale faculty since 1971. His specialties include English and Romanticism, his native West Indian literature and Afro-American literature. Mike has held a number of administrative posts in the English Department and for five years served as Master of Trumbull College.

Some of us lead double lives. Bob Driscoll is gainfully employed at Electric Boat in Groton, Conn., helping to get us ready for World War III. He also serves, with his wife Margaret, as co-publisher of Tidings, a peppy (and preppy) magazine promoting tidewater Rhode Island and Southeastern Connecticut, with a bouillabaisse of current happenings and local nostalgia. On the magazine's staff are Bob's four daughters and sundry nephews and nieces. It is a fine journal and your scribe is a satisfied subscriber.

Joe Quander writes in from Austin, Texas, advising that he is beefing up his obstetrics practice to pay malpractice premiums and tuitions. Sounds like the rest of us "professionals." Mike's son Chris graduated from Yale with the Class of 1986 and is now a commodities broker in Chicago. The rest of the family is also thriving.

Lost and (hopefully) Found Department. News of the whereabouts of some of our lost little 157 lambs would be much appreciated. Can you help us with Goey Franciscus, George Alexander, Dick Burhoe, Lloyd Carter, George Clark, Dick Coleman, Art Cottrell, Marty Davis, Sandy England, Bill Farley, Bill Fleming, John Francis, Bill Laughlin, Marty Miller, Martin Pierce, John Pratt, Dick Roberts, Phil Saunders, Ray Weinmann, and Check Welsh. Suitable rewards for information.

—Thomas P. Perkins III

Notes: November 1987

I am dutifully writing this column on Labor Day and hopefully it will get to you before the H-Y game. If you are in attendance, you are cordially invited to meet classmates at Frank and Nancy Mongillo's after The Game. The Mongillos can be found, acting as genial hosts, at 12 Oliver Road, just off Central Avenue to the West of the scoreboard end of the Bowl, just a field goal's distance away. See you there.

In extolling the virtues if 1957 vintage football and basketball in the October issue, I overlooked my own hometown sport, lacrosse. In our day, Yale whipped perennial (and current) national champion, Johns Hopkins, two years running, right down here in the Blue Jays' own backyard. These triumphs were due in no small measure to the exploits of All-American Jack Pendergast. Jack was in fine form at reunions. He is still playing a lot of defense in the law courts of Rhode Island in the uniform of Allen, Tobin & Silverstein, where he specializes in labor and employment law. Now, what other sports have I slighted? Baseball? Soccer? Our Olympic crew champions? Send angry letter.

Mike O'Hearn reports that he and Nancy are on the verge of becoming empty nesters next May when their youngest is programmed to graduate from Yale. This has inspired them to build an addition to their home in New Canaan, where Nancy operates a thriving plant business out of the homestead greenhouse. No zoning violations, I trust. Mike continues as a real estate mogul in New Haven. Up in Boston, Roger Cogswell is the founding father of R.W. Cogswell Associates, Inc., specialists in investment management. Roger would be happy to show you how to enhance your portfolio (so that you can give more money to Yale).

Art Gardiner is back in D.C. at the law firm of Wilmer, Cutler and Pickering after an "invigorating" six-month sabbatical. Art taught corporate finance at Vermont Law School (they say that he was an easy grader). More important, he starred in a production of The Gondoliers. In addition to currently specializing in mutual fund matters, after years of being involved in financing third world countries, Art is sifting offers for a future stage career. Goey Franciscus, look out. I'm sure a number of us have recently had sabbaticals or similar experiences. Let's hear about them.

Also lawyering in D.C. is John Quarles. After distinguished service with the Environmental Protection Agency, where he was not only present at the creation but instrumental in the Agency's success, John joined the Washington office of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius a few years back and continues to be very prominent in the environmental field. John's son Jack is a freshman at Yale.

—Thomas P. Perkins III

Notes: October 1987

Fools rush in, etc. Your new scribe has big shoes to fill. Randy Guggenheimer did a fine job for all of us in his term as Class Secretary following in the hallowed tradition of the likes of Sandy Clark, Mike O'Hearn, Pete Fritzsche, Ed Meyer, and Gary Bellow. So here we go.

1957 was and is a special class in many ways. An objective of your new management will be to keep us all mindful of that fact. A little flag-waving never hurt anyone.

The Class that went 7-0 in Ivy football and played an undefeated North Carolina team to a half-time tie at Madison Square Garden in the NCAA basketball tournament also came up with a whopping record 30th reunion gift $1,509,000. This was principally due to the leadership of Rod Correll, whom I am glad to report, continues as class treasurer. Rod received a Yale Distinguished Service Award for his efforts which was well deserved.

We have appointed a large and geographically representative Class Council. Meetings of the council will be open to all. Anyone interested in officially joining the council need only write to me. It is my hope over time to sponsor regional class get-togethers as well as regular class events. On the latter front, Frank Mongillo will host a gathering after the H-Y game on November 21. Bernie Kosto is planning a program for Saturday, January 23, built around a talk by Sam Chauncey on what's doing in New Haven, dinner at SOM, followed by the Yale-Cornell hockey game. There will be a Class Dinner on March 17, St. Patrick's Day, at the Yale Club in NYC, hosted by Sandy Clark, hopefully featuring a talk by the Class Leprechaun, Bud Trillin. Mark your calendars. More on all this later. The Class Council will meet in conjunction with these events. Your class dues contributions will make these and other event possible.

Speaking of Bud Trillin, I intercepted a piece of his in the Los Angeles Times, ostensibly intended to laud Dave Laventhol on the fine distinction of becoming president of the Times-Mirror Corporation, one of the nation's premier publishing companies. Instead, Bud, after his fashion, invented a little bogus undergraduate history about Dave and also about Dick Thompson. Bud's research assistants failed to discover that Dick is now flourishing in Salt Lake City, and is leading a nearly blameless life as head of the History Department at the University of Utah. Dick does, we are told, ferment a little home brew in his basement, hopefully unbeknownst to the local Mormon authorities.

Also, in the Great West, Don Bain is to be commended for a terrific race for mayor of Denver. Don reached the run-off election and lost by a very small margin. We predict that he will be back again. Who else out there is going to present himself to the voters? Frank Mongillo, again?

Late breaking news, Bob Joost has recently been appointed chairman of an appeals board for the U.S. Department of Transportation and has become engaged to Elaine Economides. Also in D.C., Hal Russell has been elected a Vice President of FMC and runs the company's government affairs office. After 20 years at Sloan Kettering, Erwin Fleissner has recently become a Dean of Sciences and Mathematics at Hunter College. Finally, Peter Hare, up in Buffalo, is the new President of the Society for the Advancement of American Philosophy. See I told you we can do things other than play football and basketball and, of course, sail. Which reminds me that Charlie Abuza recently christened his 37-foot world-class yacht, Exuberance, somewhere out there in the fog of Narragansett Bay. Charlie would be happy to make loans to any of us,

Keep me posted with news about yourself or lies about classmates.

Notes: Summer 1987

I won't say it was more fun than the 25th, but it seemed more relaxed. Perhaps we've better come to terms with life over the last five years--happier with our successes and more accepting of our failures. In any event--Reunion was--in a word--"mellow."

Impressions--Class baby awards to Tip Atkeson, Jack Curlett, and Charlie Peet. (Vern Loucks was in the running, but with those three preppy sons in tow--no way!) Binky Davis is still claiming the youngest baby--20 months old. Jim Banner and Gerry Neary tried to find an opera short enough for me to sit through, but came up short. (Long...?) Gerry went for the athletic award--carrying around a tennis racquet, but never playing. Towny Ludington and Mike Kenefick did in the Yale golf course. Carl Myrus gave out the wrong notes for the Whiffenpoof song--well, it has been 30 years. (They were wonderful, anyway) Hank Conlan and Reid White challenged the football team to suit up--if the Whiffs can come back, why not our Ivy champs? Dave Bowman and Dave Sawyer told us of the vicissitudes of life at the Friday class panels. Roland Machold returned with his father who was celebrating his 55th Reunion. Reed Rubin had his daughter, currently a Yalie. Phil Weymouth was surrounded by Deerfield alumni talking of impending coeducation. Cale Carson, the long-distance winner, came in from Hawaii. Seib Adams didn't use his last name on his badge--and why should he? Dr. Steve Flagg was beeped. Allan Wendt had to deal with the State Department--from an Old Campus pay phone. Frank Brown looked splendid in his white shirt and pants, reminding us of the Good Humor-Humpty Dumpty riot.

It wouldn't have happened without... the 150 of us who came back and had the time of our lives... the wives and dates--who were wise, witty and beautiful. (Coeducation isn't a bad thing)... Dave Mininberg who organized the class agents... Rod Correll who gave us a year or so of his life and had the pleasure of presenting Benno Schmidt (the second Yale President younger than we), with the record-breaking $1.5 million check... Sandy Clark co-chairman of Reunion and panel selector extraordinaire... Howie Gillis who is such a pro at running reunions, that we should hire him out to every other class... and finally, Tom Perkins, who is the new Secretary. Already familiar with the AYA and Yale Development Board, he shall fast make you forget your past secretary who has loved his job the last five years.

Those attending (*spouse/guest, ( ) children) included: Abuza*, Adams*, Alvarez de Toledo*, Anderson*, Appel*, Atkeson*, Bab*, Bagdasarian*, Baldwin, Banner*, Berger*, Blue, Boasberg, Bodkin*, Bogert*, Bourquin*, Bowman*, Brelav, Briggs*, Brown, C., Brown, F.*, Browne, Carleton, Carlsen*, Carson*, Chauncey, Chequer (1), Childs*, Chittenden*, Clark*, Clayton*, Clover, Conlan*, Conte*, Cook, Correll*, Corry, Cronin*, Crooks*, Curlett*, Curran (1), Davies*, Davis, E., De Luca* (1), Diefendorf*, Dreyer*, Eisele, Ellis*, Erickson, Farrow, Ferris, Flagg*, Fleissner*, Freeman*, Fritzsche, Gage, Galloney*, Gergen*, Gillis*, Goddard*, Graff*, Guggenheimer*, Guy*, Halpern*, Heller*, Herrmann*, Hockman*, Hockstader*, Hopkins, Hutchinson, Inglis*, Jenson* (1), Johnson*, Jones*, Joost, Kalkstein*, Kaplan*, Katz*, Kellogg, Kendrick, Kerr, Kner*, Kosinski, Kosto*, Lawrence*, Loucks, Ludington, Ludwig, Lumpkin*, Lynch*.

Notes: May 1987

My last column, except for my 400-word report on Reunion: I now have three thoughts going, which is either good or bad for a topical sentence--it's been too many years since English 25 to know for sure! Thought No. 1--Reunion in two weeks. Come--it will be great fun and the more who show, the better the weekend. Thought No. 2--will they print it if I wrote 401 words? Thought No. 3--my last column, I've enjoyed corresponding with you all--thanks for your support.

Pat Carey, wife Mae and children Brian, Caren and Mike live in Spartanburg, S.C.--where Pat owns a fast-growing moving company affiliated with Allied Van Lines. He is a director of Allied and is involved with two pages worth of organizations. Ray Brown is now with Baker & Hostetler in Columbus. George Doty has moved from Wisconsin to Delaware, but I don't know why, or why Rufus Goodwin has moved from Vermont to Boston or Jim Halbkat from South Carolina to Atlanta. Explanations, please.

Peter Hill's wife Joy died of cancer last year. Our sympathies. Peter is the head of Bamford-Hill, a Florida marketing consulting firm which also builds and develops award-winning residential and commercial properties. Sons Richard and Peter are at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. Brad Lovejoy, CDR, CHC, USN has moved to Longwood, Fla. He would welcome letters. (My line, not his--sorry!) Mike Jordan, President and C.E.O. of Pepisco Worldwide Foods of Dallas, was elected a Trustee of The Darden School, University of Virginia's business school. Mike is also a Director of Melville Corporation and the United Negro College Fund.

Bob Keaton has lived in the New Jersey area for eight years and is Director of Quality Assurance at GPU Nuclear in Parsippany. Wife, Sheila and he have two sons, Robert, a chemical engineer for Exxon in New Orleans and James, a graduate student at Penn State. Pete Kosinski's construction management company has offices in New Haven and New York. Larry Kramer's play about AIDS, Normal Heart, recently played in Chicago. Roland Machold reports that son Rob was accepted for the Class of 1991. Tod Mann is a corporate finance generalist at Dean Witter. Dave Reed sold his executive compensation consulting firm last year to a subsidiary of Marsh and McLennan where he now works.

Bob Rhoads, still practicing law, heard from Bill Mallender who is Vice President, Counsel and Secretary for Talley Industries in Mesa, Ariz. Tom Shoop has one-upped me by spurning my offer of a Mets hat and sending me a Reds hat instead. Jim Ziegler is a recipient of the 1987 von Humboldt Award from the German government for extended superior research in the natural sciences, allowing him to do research work over the next five years in Germany. He is manager of radiation sciences for IBM and lives in Yorktown, N,Y.

I received word that Bill Williams died in December 1986, but no further details.

SEE YOU AT REUNION.

—Randolph C. Guggenheimer, Jr.

Notes: April 1987

You're probably wondering what I've done for you lately? (Well, it you weren't, you are now!) The answer is I had breakfast with Sandy Clark to discuss reunion panels. We decided to let the wives have a go at us and also discussed theater, retirement, entertainment, etc. Stay tuned. One month to go to May 28 at Berkeley College. Monitors will check you in--no cutting allowed.

Fernando Alvarez de Toledo, after 25 years with Owens Corning Fiberglas, is now working for MediTech, Inc., in the field of disposable medical devices. "I am currently designing both process equipment as well as products--finding it fascinating and challenging--am rowing again (mainly sculling) after an absence of 28 years off the water--see Will Reinmann (and Bill Beckman '58) often as we are at Cambridge Boat Club." Jim Herlan is teaching, researching and doing some administrative work as Assistant Director, Canadian-American Center, University of Maine. His second marriage in 1973 has yielded three daughters, Jennifer 11, Julie 8, and Rebecca 4. "Being an aging father is fun." Frank Brown is managing consulting at Paul Stafford Associates and recently lunched with Scott Cannell.

John Crosby took pity on me and sent me his annual family newsletter. He moved from City Venture Corp. to vice president, institutional advancement of Saint John's University in Minnesota where he is responsible for strategic planning, board and public relations, marketing, advertising and fund raising. Wife, Laura recently became director of development and public affairs at the American Refugee Committee. John, Jr. is exploring options in preventive medicine and holistic health. Laura, Jr. is back from Thailand and expects to graduate from Harvard in June, Slater is majoring in journalism at Wisconsin and Brooks is a junior at Blake.

Ray Ellison is getting settled in Mendham, N.J. Laura is Tufts '87, Stephanie is Colby '89 and Phillip a junior at high school. Wife Mary Marcia reports that David Griffith is in private practice in Melrose, Mass., and is clinical director of the psychiatric unit at Melrose-Wakefield Hospital. This spring, he is teaching at Boston College, son John Mark is in his third year at MIT and Jeffrey Paul is a P.G. at Avon Old Farms.

Fred Guggenheim, the other "Guggs" in our Class is "working hard rebuilding an academic department of psychiatry at the University of Arkansas in Little Rock. Olivia and I very much enjoy this town. We see Yale classmates Bill Chadduck (neurosurgeon at the medical school) and wife Betty from time to time for mini-reunions."

Jim Halbkat has moved from Greenville, S.C. to Atlanta, Ga. Keith McElligot is seriously considering retirement after 30 years with N.J. Bell. Not so seriously, he plans, "Like the girl lawyers on L.A. Law to go to law school." Steve Mottus writes, "after many years in operating management at Procter & Gamble and Maryland Cup Corp., I started a 'new life' last April by joining Legg Mason, a securities brokerage firm based in Baltimore. The transition has been a big success because many years of investing and a senior level business background combined with teaching corporate finance prepared me well. (I had also managed to squeeze in a Certified Financial Planner certificate on the side.) At Legg Mason I am primarily a securities analyst (oil companies and special situations) but have also participated in managing Legg's mutual funds and an initial public offering of a local environmental services company."

Bob Neff was appointed by Governor Kean to the N.J. Racing Commission, "a pleasant alternative to giving tax reform lectures to bank trust officers." Jim Robertson has been living in Hong Kong since October 1985. Dick Sheinbaum continues as senior vice president at Connecticut Bank & Trust in Stamford, responsible for business development in lower Fairfield and Westchester countries and New York City. Wife Susan is an editor with the Fairfield Citizen News in Fairfield, Conn. Daughter Andrea is a sophomore at Washington University and son Peter is a junior at Staples High School in Westport. His soccer team won the State championship last spring.

John Spender, Q.C., M.P. is in Australia's House of Representatives as the Federal Member for North Sydney and Shadow Attorney-General. (I once had a dog who was a shadow boxer...) Charlie Strong is President of Airko Energy Systems, Division of Montenay International Corp. Son Colin, a junior at S.M.U., is a member of the NCAA 1986 National Track Champions. He runs 800M, 1000M, 1500M, and 2 mile relay.

Reed Taylor, an English teacher at Amherst High, was named "Teacher of the Year" in the Buffalo/Erie county area in December. His Model UN Club won "Best Delegate" award at the Yale Model UN last year. He has been invited to Israel this spring in recognition of his work on the Holocaust Resource Center of Buffalo. He and wife Glynda enjoyed Yale Glee Club's 125th year. Phil Wedemeyer attended a hematologists' meeting in San Francisco last December and had dinner with Dick Rees who teaches at a private school and lives in a lovely mansion. Phil has one at MIT, two at Wesleyan and, consequently, "no worries about how to spend my money." An update on Reunion next month. Be there!

—Randolph C. Guggenheimer, Jr.

Notes: March 1987

What shall we worry about next? (A remark made to me when I expressed concern that all overhead compartments on the airplane would be filled by the time I got there.) That no one will come to Reunion? That Rod Correll and Dave Mininberg shall not get us over the $2 million mark? Certainly not--we shall have a huge turnout. May 28-31, huge giving and our carry-on luggage will be safely stowed!

News from Pete Bouscaren who runs Leasing Consultants, Inc., a new company specializing in leasing of shopping centers. He is currently commuting from Baltimore to Miami where his latest project is located. Moves afoot--Karl Chester from Hayward to Moraga, Cal., Muller Davis from Glencoe to Lake Forest, Ill., and Bill Miller from Chicago to Louisville. (Some of them had to pay.30 extra postage to get this magazine, but we're worth it.)

Peter Greer had a great sailing vacation this summer and a trip to Europe in the fall--with a visit to brother Jay '54 and family in London and with daughter Lisa and son-in-law Carson at the Nice Championnat du Monde Triathlon.

Brother John Leinenweber is "very grateful to be kept in the Class, so to speak, even though I haven't sent anything since 1965, when I disposed of all my money. Then I gave something to express my appreciation to mother Yale. This summer I saw Bob Joost and Don Velsey '56. Yale friendships really last. Someday I hope to see my old roommate Peter Wolf again, short of the game, I mean."

Millard Prisant is currently restoring his second historic landmark, a hulking Victorian pile on the shores of Hempstead Harbor in Long Island. "A movie location scout came by to ask if he could use the house for a horror movie set. (We said sure--we need any and all moneys.) Friends who come to visit return to their modern habitats with great grins of relief on their faces. We are indeed crazy, but it beats drugs."

Wallace Ritchie continues to enjoy his life as Chairman of the Department of Surgery at Temple School of Medicine in Philadelphia. Dick Sargent is "having a blast" as President and C.E.O, of the Chubb Institute, the leading provider of computer training and services in New York. Sy Weinstein is Chief Attorney for Presentiment, State of Connecticut. (For anyone who wants to know what that means, if Sy won't explain it at Reunion, I will!) Al Ward became a grandfather last April. Don Roberts sent me an article from the Berkshire Courier reporting the sudden death, on January 3, of our classmate Walter Howard. He was a writer for the Berkshire Eagle and editor of its op-ed page. After graduation he worked at the Eagle, left it to work in the presidential campaign for John F. Kennedy and then joined Time-Life Books. In 1970 he returned to Tyringham, Mass., where he farmed full-time until joining the Eagle in 1983. He is survived by three sisters, Jennifer Coleman of L.A. and Margaret Howard sand Mrs. Sidney Urquhart of New York and Tyringham.

—Randolph C. Guggenheimer, Jr.

Notes: February 1987

I bet you classmates were wondering why we, being a reunion class, do not have a cute little drawing at the top of the column the way other reunion classes do. This is a hard question for me to answer, and in fact I can't. But even if there is no picture, there still is a Reunion, now only three months away.

News this month, thanks primarily to you dues payers with largesse and legibleness (I know--it's not a word, but it's alliterative): Jim Blue has moved from Denver to La Jolla, but hasn't explained why. Alan Carr has joined Hambrecht and Quist to start up a capital management division which will run mutual funds. He is "looking forward to the Reunion." Tom Chittenden has joined Citicorp Insurance Group at Citicorp Center in New York.

Tom Childs writes, "The Association for Diplomatic Studies has invited me to help put together a collection of 18th and 19th century American diplomatic memorabilia for the State Department Foreign Service Institute's new building. Any classmates having knowledge of the existence of family memoirs or letters, objets diplomatiques, portraits or pictorial representations of any kind of are beseeched to contact me at (202) 363-4423." Bob Crafts retired from the Navy Medical Corp in September and is a candidate for the priesthood in the Episcopal Church. He hopes to return to the Diocese of San Diego in 1989. Lou DeLuca has a son in kindergarten and wife back in college. He pays for this and other things by being deputy commissioner of the Kentucky Department of Art.

Chauncey Dewey has moved from Jamestown, R.I. to Johnson City, Tenn., again without explanation. Vic Goodman is quite newsy. "My former law firm merged with the firm of Benesch, Friedlander, Coplan & Aronoff, and I am a senior partner and co-managing partner of the Columbus office. I continue to be Vice Chairman of the Ohio Board of Regents, Chairman of the Rickenbacker Port Authority and a Reagan-appointee on the Federal Services Impasses Panel. I have just completed a two-year term as Chairman of the Columbus Symphony Orchestra. Elaine and I have managed to see three of our children graduate from college: Jeffrey--Miami (Ohio); Arlyn--Michigan; Julie--Cincinnati; and have only our youngest, David still in college--a sophomore at Miami." Tony Frayne is running his own law firm in Philadelphia. Jerry Gould is still teaching at Chicago and last year started Investment Research Company, a firm specializing in equities management and hedging.

Otis Graham is a Professor of History at North Carolina and his son is an honor student at Columbia. (Admissions Office take note!) Peter Grose is "determined to come to the 30th! His wife Claudia, updating her learning disabilities to achieve credentials at Bank Street College, daughter Carolyn spending junior year abroad in Paris, from Middlebury. Daughter Kim spurned Yale and is happy in Stanford, freshman year. I continue trying to make sense of the world, as managing editor of Foreign Affairs."

John Halpern is President of Hartz Associates, a real estate company one of whose projects in New York City blocks my way of work each day. Virgil Highland is supporting higher education with a vengeance. "My daughters ((twins) have just started at Yale and at Harvard, so I have renewed my ties with Yale and even with JE (Jenny opted to take my college.) Though much is different, it is remarkable how much is basically the same. The girls are enjoying both universities tremendously. It is interesting to have such a direct comparison of the methods of Harvard and Yale. It is too soon to come to any conclusions, there are differences, but both are very good. Yale's curriculum seems sounder."

Jesse Lemisch is a Visiting Professor of History at Baruch. He published an article in The Nation last fall entitled, "Pop Front Culture: I Dreamed I Saw MTV Last Night." Joe Lemmo's daughter Laura received her M.A. in education from U.C.L.A. in September. Son John composes and plays keyboard for "New Tribe," a rock group. Vern Loucks recently was named a Successor Trustee of Yale and is Chairman of the Yale Development Board. In his spare time, he is President and C.E.O. of Baxter Travenol Laboratories.

John Master is Executive Manager for Engineering and Environment of ARCO Chemical in Pennsylvania. Wife Barbara is secretary to an osteopath, son Greg works in marketing in Dallas, and Kevin is at Syracuse, majoring in electrical engineering. Col. John Miller, still managing editor of Proceedings magazine (U.S. Naval Institute), is working on another magazine and two books, and was recently elected to the board of directors, Marine Corps Historical Foundation. Frank Mongillo believes good things come in threes. His dad graduated 33 years before he did and his attractive son, Frank III is scheduled for 33 years after.

Frank Muggia moved from Larchmont, N.Y. to Larchmont Village, Cal., and finds it easy to take. Two of four daughters remain east, so we still get to see him. Tom Quirk has joined Eastchester Savings Bank to start a commercial loan department. Rev. Bob Pelton continues at Madonna House in Ontario, his life having changed by the interest sparked by the death of foundress Catherine DeHueck Doherty. "My life is quite different now, of course, as one of the directors of the community, from what it was for nine years in the 'Desert'. Now the hermitage is within. In May 1985, Pastoral Press (Washington, D.C.) published a series of my reflections on the inner experience of journeying with Christ through the liturgical year. The title is Circling the Sun, Meditations of Christ in Liturgy and Time. Several pieces touch on my life at Yale before, during, and after my coming into the Catholic Church."

Bill Reimann reports on family, work, and play. Son Christopher (Occidental '85) is in the Peace Corps in Gabon as construction supervisor building three-room schools. Daughter Katherine is a Yale senior. Bill recently completed a two and a half ton Plexiglas and steel sculpture for Southwest Bell's headquarters in Houston. He competed in F.I.S.A. Veterans' Regatta in Yugoslavia and won two firsts, and won a first and second in Philadelphia. He saw Hugh Thompson and Steve Flagg from the New Haven Rowing Club in Yugoslavia.

Don Rife is Chief of Mental Health and an Assistant Professor at Florida Univ. Ed Robinson is also doctoring as staff radiologist at Salem (Mass.) Hospital and as Assistant Professor at Boston University. He enjoys sport fishing. His four children are all grown, with second youngest, Perry, a senior at University of Massachusetts. John Ryan's company went public last spring--"A thrill, but some burdens, like keeping the price up." One son graduated; the other at Virginia. Wife Carol is back in school for another M.A. Last fall he hiked (biked?) through France--great eating, drinking and exercise.

Rex Robbins' elder daughter, Mag '85 now teaches Swahili part time. (A comment is called for, but I'm speechless). Son Tim is a junior at Yale planning to spend part-time in France. Youngest Mary is a senior at Hunter in New York and applying to Harvard. (Rex explains this aberration by pointing out she is left-handed). Support for these institutions come from Rex's acting in "plays, commercials, television shows, national theatrical tours, or what have you," and wife Pat's teaching at Trinity School.

Ron Savin's daughter Sally is Yale '90. Art Schaufler is Director of Metallurgy and Quality Control for Precision Specialty Metals, Inc., a stainless steel conversion mill in L.A. Tom Shoop is still at Procter & Gamble after 27 years. One son at high school, one at college. Avocations are farming, golf, and the Cincinnati Reds. (Tom, if you need a Mets cap give me a call.) Graham Tebbe has expanded his family. He and Caryn Fogarty Bower were married in June in L.A. They met at Dick Curran's 50th. She brings daughter Kendall, a freshman at Pacific, son Philip, a freshman at high school, a dog and a cat. Grahams' three, Carl, Greg and Vaughan are now out on their own. Bob Wienmann's list of medical accomplishments is too long to print, but stay tuned.

Do I still have room to mention that we had a good turnout at the Princeton game--in no particular order I saw Steve Hopkins, Tom Chittenden, Howie Gillis, Bob Joost, Phil Pillsbury, Ted Jones, George Hutchinson, Alan Hockstader, Rod Correll, John Shaw, Frank Mongillo, Garson Heller and Gerry Neary. See all of them at the 30th, too.

—Randolph C. Guggenheimer, Jr.
