TU N ED I N , TU R N ED O N Colby was recognized recently by

Magazine as one

Yahoo! Internet Life

of the 2 5 most "wired" campuses in

the country. What the magazine said, essentially, was that a lot of Colby people use computer networks on campus and off to enrich themselves and their work in a variety of ways. Webmaster Anestes Fotiades '89 says the College's virtual campus already has become an indispensable companion to the real one. "What we're seeing is that the Web is a great means of building community and a great means of enhancing the classroom experience," he said. For example:

Plans for the 45th reunion are in mo tion. I attended the first plann ing me ting in Newton, Mass. , in early April. Let's nave a sizeable group on campus i n June 1 998 . . . . Gor don Marquis 1 now retired from New England Elecmc System. (My dad worked for NEE for more than 40 year , and my husband was also employed by them for five or six years. ) Gordon lives in Upton, Mass., with hi wife, Paulme (Hoyt '56). His son has two children and works in Cambridge for an insurance firm, and his daughter, an honor student at Sm 1th, has gradu ated from Harvard School of Design. Before working for N EES, Gordon was a Russian inter preter for the U . S. Army a l l over Europe. He retired at 60, he says, "before they caught up with me, respon ibi lities m environmental ar eas, especially cultural resource management." He says he now values his peace of mind after 28 year of Hopkinton local government. He has a umque an wer ro a fitne s program--cribbage, he says, keeps his fingers supple . . . .

to recuperate and is mak ing gains with the help of therapy . . . . Mimi Price Patten calls herself rhe "retired house-person" and devoted wife of a "lobster-catcher." Like many others, the im portant part of her l ife began at Colby with many lasting friendships. She remembers the good times and the luxury of learning in a friendly atmosphere where you knew almost everybody by name and where the professors were inrere<tc!d in each student's progress. She remembers, especially, her inspiring classes with President Seelye Bixler. Mimi adds that during the winter her family enjoys a condo at Sugarloaf. Summers bring enjoyable boating on the coast. v isitors welcome, or you are welcome to write to her at Harpswe l l , Maine. Mimi connected with Shirley and N ick Sarris to toast the New Year. . . . Flo Fisher Krejci and her husband live in California and are both retired from Rocketdyne Division of Rockwell lntemational Boeing. Flo writes, "When we married in J une 1 994, l had been single nearly 25 years and M i lan had never before been married. (I accept congratulations on the latter ! ) I have three daughters: J udy, who with her wildlife-ecologist husband has emigrated to Canberra, Austra l ia, and has a son and daughter; Susanne, a senior software engineer for U nisys in Pennsylvania, who is married and has two sons and a daughter; and Betsy, an Episcopal priest, who is married and has a son. For those who ran our of fingers, that's six grandchildren, from 3 to 1 1 . I am a world-class creampuff, as I was in college, though I can walk for mi les if it's in a shopping mall. Milan, however, works out at a gym three days a week as he has done for many years . . . . A few months before our marriage, we l ived through the so-called North ridge Earthquake, which was almost under our townhouse. It was one of the most terrifying and humbling experiences I can imagine, a real lesson in the unreliability of 'solid ground' and of the place of possessions in our l ives, i.e., not very important compared to people and relationship ." Flo says they usually take at least one long trip annually-last year to the Czech Republic, this year driving across the U . S . to Pennsylvania and N ew England in the summer, then Christmas in Australia with the grandchildren. They also are active in their church and related organizations. Flo would l ike to ask classmates if they are as proud as she is of the kind of men and women that the Class of 1 9 53 produced. As she looked around at her 40th reunion, she l iked the people she saw, which reaffirmed her unconscious wisdom in choosing to attend Colby. She invites class mates to contact her by e - m a i l ( fkrej c i@ pacbell.net). -Barbara Easterbrooks Mailey
