1948

Richard Montague, despite the young age of 87, still enjoys getting out into the Great Outdoors to pursue one of his hobbies: visiting fascinating topographic points. Remaining physically active, within the last six months, Richard was able to stand on both the northernmost and southernmost geographical points in Germany. (See page 51 for more on this excursion!) Although he was originally born in Madison, Wisconsin, Richard has lived in Germany on a permanent basis for more than 35 years. He is a retired former managing partner of the executive search firm of Carre, Orban & Partners International.

1952 // 70th Reunion

Ross Langhorne was stuck in his cottage in England in January-April 2020 due to the U.K.’s COVID lockdown but made it back to the U.S. in May. Normally, he would have been racing in the cycling senior division this year, but due to the pandemic, he spent most of his time training with an eye on next year’s nationals and Huntsman World Championships. Ross is planning to return to London fairly soon as one of his properties there was severely damaged by a flash flood. Unfortunately, he won’t be at this year’s alumni reunion but sends his best wishes and kindest regards to all.

1956

Class Agent: John Crawford, (540) 247-8810, celect@comcast.net

John Crawford reports, “My wife Polly and I are active, playing racquetball, tennis, and this new thing called pickleball, which is great for these old bones because it does not require you to move around as much as tennis. Still flying, touring the entire East Coast in our little propeller-driven airplane. Age discrimination does come in there, for the insurance people don’t think that I can fly safely and charge me a fortune. The FAA gives me medicals and thinks that I am just fine. At the age of 81, one decides that some things are better than others and maybe three hours in our airplane would be better than driving the 14 hours to our place near Bath, Maine where we spend the summers.”

RICHARD MONTAGUE ’48

Never Stop Exploring

Richard Montague ’48 is a world explorer, recently at the northernmost point of Germany August 4, 2021. The location is actually a sand spit known in German as the “Ellenbogen,” which lies at sea level on the north shore of the German island of Sylt. Sylt lies in the North Sea opposite the southern coast of Denmark. On October 1, 2021, Richard trekked to the southernmost point, a mountain pass located along the present German/Austrian national border. Both points are deserted.

“The northernmost point is rather easy to reach since all that is required is a hike of a couple of miles along Sylt’s outer North Sea beach until one reaches the northernmost point of land,” said Richard. “The precise location on the shoreline can be determined with a Garmin GPS instrument since the northernmost point of the sand spit is not marked.” At the northernmost point, there is nothing except sky, the North Sea, and the beach sand and dunes. At 55 degrees 03’ North, this is the location in the northern “end” of the Federal Republic of Germany.

“Reaching the southernmost point of Germany, however, is a different undertaking,” Richard said. “This point lies about 6,335 feet or more than a mile high in elevation, in a remote mountainous region lying along Germany’s present national border with neighboring Austria.” The spot lies in open, deserted country, marked today only by survey cairn #147 at 47 degrees 16’ North.

“It took me more than three and a half hours of climbing upward from the village of Lechleiten in Austria’s Lech Valley to reach the cairn,” shared Richard. “All in all, a daylong trip but well worth the effort.”

Richard shared that the establishment of the political border between the “then” Kingdom of Bavaria and the “then” Austrian Empire dates back to 1842. “It must have been difficult and a challenging undertaking back then for the party of Bavarian and Austrian land surveyors who had to travel by horseback and on foot in order to mark the border and then set up cairns all along the line separating their two countries,” said Richard. “This is not an easy mountain country in which to travel!”

Richard explained that virtually all original border cairns (meter-deep concrete pillars set upright in the ground with the national symbols of Bavaria and Austria affixed) are still in place after almost 180 years, with the exception of cairn #147, which is now in a museum in Germany. The original #147 border cairn was replaced after World War II with a new marble pillar.

“Endeavors to reach the southernmost and the northernmost points of land in Germany, are, of course, totally without practical value,” said Richard. “But I find it rewarding having been able to reach both locations, Shank’s mare style (meaning on foot, with only a GPS instrument and topographic map to guide one) within less than six months time!”

At 87 years of age, rewarding, indeed!

See the spring issue of Harvey Magazine for Richard’s next adventure in “Never Stop Exploring.”

Class Agent: Sandy Gabel, (919) 693-8099, sandy.gabel@icloud.com

Sandy Gabel has some BIG news to share — “calving season is upon us.” He had five calves as of when he shared this news and “only 87 to go!” he says. In addition to the 92 moms, they have 17 replacement heifers, two bills (soon to be three), and some feeders. Their farm also has seven horses, two donkeys, two alpacas, about 20 laying hens, and a lot of guinea hens. Sandy and his wife, Laura, took a quick trip to the Northeast at reunion time to see three grandchildren in Boston and three in Mamaroneck — and, of course, their parents! “I enjoyed being with my pals at the reunion,” says Sandy. “We had a good turnout.”

RICK KINNAIRD ’65

Harvey Connections

Before COVID, Rick Kinnaird ’65 was traveling extensively to places like Egypt, Indonesia, India, and the Mayan area. Rick shared that this past summer he visited fellow alums Bill Browning ’65 and Theo (Teddy) Cogdon ’65, who both now live in Maine. Rick’s favorite Harvey memory was being on the first Harvey lacrosse team and using wooden sticks. He went on to play at Johns Hopkins University, and he believes having played lacrosse “had a lot to do with my being accepted there.” “Teddy and I also recorded a Happy Birthday message and sent it to Peter Duncan ’65,” shared Rick. “He pleaded with us never to do that again. Wait until next year!” joked Rick. Rick says Harvey gave him the love of reading. “The reading hour allowed me to read a lot of books — “The Count of Monte Cristo” and “The Three Musketeers” were two I distinctly remember reading,” said Rick.

Two big influences in his life were reading Richard Haliburton’s “Book of Marvels,” and the other was the year he studied India while a student at Harvey. Mr. Perrine was the teacher, and one afternoon a guest speaker told the class about traveling through India on a motorcycle.

Rick has now traveled to many ancient places such as Petra, The Pyramid, Taj Mahal, Angkor Wat, Tikal, Teotihuacan, Machu Picchu, and Chichen Itza. He’s currently working on developing videos and slideshows for young people to spark their interest in traveling and experiencing ancient sites.

Philip Eifert took some COVID-safe family trips recently — one to Arizona to visit his daughter, Helen, who is a graduate student at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff; ski trips in 2021 to Stratton and Sugarbush in Vermont, and Alta and Snowbird in Utah; summer kickoff visit to North Carolina to see his 92-year-old dad including a detour to the Outer Banks for a few days; 2020 Thanksgiving in Mill Creek Canyon between Flagstaff and Sedona; a trip to Germany for his nephew’s wedding rescheduled from 2020 and then to a visit with relatives in Italy. “So nice to be able to travel again — and look forward to even more travel in the near future!” said Philip, who owns an insurance agency in Katonah.

Carl “Ruby” Rubenstein has been hired to be a Stratton Mt. Ski ambassador for the upcoming winter season. He was supposed to do this last year but New Yorkers were not allowed to work in Vermont last season, due to the pandemic. He’s looking forward to skiing more this year than in past years. Carl reports that his father passed away last March. He postponed his retirement until the end of COVID, but if that date doesn’t happen soon, he says he might retire anyway!

JONATHAN WELLS ’68 Poet and Author

Jonathan Wells ’68, an accomplished poet, has come out with his first full-length prose work, “The Skinny,” a memoir that covers just under 10 years of his life between early adolescence (including his time at The Harvey School) and early adulthood. A review in the digital weekly Air Mail calls the book “a poetic remembrance of pain and forgiveness that rivals Tobias Wolff’s “This Boy’s Life.” Vogue praises it as “lushly rendered and touchingly intimate, a critique that is loving and unsparing at the same time.”

Jonathan chronicles his experiences growing up underweight and under heavy scrutiny and judgment from his father (and others), who saw his son’s prolonged skinniness (and associated diminished masculinity) as something to be redressed. Through tribulations of forced weight-gain diets, exercise regimens, and being shunted off to boarding school in Switzerland, Jonathan evokes the solace he found in the golden age of rock music (late 60s, early 70s), as well as oases offered by literary figures like Dylan Thomas. The book culminates in a redemptive coming-of-age episode in Jonathan’s later college years.

Jonathan’s writing draws the reader in with him as he traces the journey of his unique yet relatable story. His volumes of poetry (“Train Dance,” “The Man with Many Pens,” and “Debris”) are equally engrossing and evocative. — Contributed by classmate Alex Edwards-Bourdrez ’68

A Message from Class Agent John Crawford ’56

Being a class agent has been fun. I get to keep up with the school happenings and communicate with some of my old classmates. I don’t have a lot of email addresses from my former classmates but, while trying to bring attention to the homecoming and alumni reunion on the 30th, I contacted the ones I do have and we had a Zoom meeting. I was happy to talk to Howard Baldwin, Nick Firth, Eric Fris, Henry Smith Miller, and Jonathan Choate. I also heard from others who couldn’t make it at the time: Kirk Waldron in Florida, Terry Haig in Canada who until recently was a lost alumni, and others.

Since I don’t have email addresses for the rest of our class, I wrote letters to everyone inviting them to this year’s alumni reunion in October. Some of these letters went to our class in Texas, Minnesota, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Idaho, Florida, Michigan, Tennessee, Arizona, and California. We have certainly spread out. This class agent remembers the 50th reunion, when many of us attended and sat in a restaurant reminiscing over old times.

Keys of being a Class Agent

• Share information about school events, local get-togethers, news from campus, and current students • Write periodic class letters and emails; establish class group on Facebook • Update class rosters • Locate “lost” classmates

There can be more than one agent per class, so grab a friend and get involved in the Harvey community. There are currently vacancies for class agents in the classes of 1942-55, 1958-60, 1962-64, 1966-67, 1969-72, 1974-77, 1979-82, 1985-87, 1991-93, 2000, 2010.

If you cannot take on a class agent post, please consider volunteering to serve your class as a Reunion Coordinator. Classes with an involved Reunion Coordinator have had more successful reunions with a higher turnout.

To volunteer or if you have questions, please contact alumni@harveyschool.org.

Aidan Cammisa and Harley Cohen recently returned to the Harvey ice to skate with Coach Janos and some other alums. Harley shared that he is excited to return for the alumni game this winter, after winning the FAA Championship in 2020.

Daniel Galgano finished his first year at The George Washington University Elliott School of International Affairs entirely remotely, but he still got involved with both the University’s Model United Nations team, one of the highest-awarded organizations of its kind, and The GW Hatchet, the independent student-run campus newspaper. “It has certainly been an interesting experience, and I’m expanding on the skills and early involvement that I had in Model UN at Harvey that has made it all the more rewarding,” says Daniel.
