VOLUME 12 FALL, 1983

« ^ i om ething old, som ething new . . . ” The m ajority of our M KA alumni never ^ ^ e n c o u n te r e d com puters, word processors, or information retrieval systems during their school days, yet to da y’s students make regular use of tje m .

M ontclair Kim berley Academ y, w hile in the vanguard in the app lica tion of word processors and com puters in teaching its students, still retains the best of the past.

Rem em ber Latin and French, wterature, History, Science and Art? Today’s students, like you, study these courses in th eir quest for a strong, liberal arts education.

Who are to da y’s students? Let us introduce you to six of them who w ill show you MKA as they experience it. They are six of a thousand twenty-nine lively and talented young peo ple — the students of the Academ y.

Kindergarten at MKA is academically oriented— not to say that there is no play, no fun. There certainly is.

The focus, however, is on providing the pupil with the basic skills of elementary education. By the time children finish kindergarten, they are reading, some are writing, and all have been introduced to computers to help develop skills such as shape recognition, addition, telling time.

Our kindergarten students do not progress in a locked-step fashion.

Rather, there are many different levels functioning within the classroom. MKA creates an environment where a child can learn within peer groups and build from success to success at his or her own speed.

Accommodation is made for vertical and horizontal acceleration. So there is a combination of individual attention with group demands. Kindergarten at MKA lays the groundwork for success not only in the first grade but in the many grades beyond.

MATTHEW EBLING »K IN D E R G A R TE N Matthew Ebling is a bright, serious, w ell directed c h ild who seems to be having a fine tim e in kindergarten at MKA. Because he reads exceptionally well, he is allow ed to move forward at his . own pace. However, his program is w ell m onitored to assure that he learns to deal with content, details and style. Like his classmates, Matthew keeps a diary of what he has read, w riting down his thoughts and m aking draw ings relating to his reading.

Matthew puts in a full day at kindergarten, starting at 8 a.m. and finishing at 2:30 p.m. In addition to reading, his day includes painting, drawing, play, language arts, arithmetic, in w hich the com puter comes into play, science, music, physical education and eurythm ics.

The oldest of three children, Matthew is the son of Peter Ebling, English teacher and 7th and 8th grade coordinator of M KA’s m iddle school. One of his favorite out of school activities is reading. He also plays softball and soccer for his home town team in Glen Ridge.

Matthew is project oriented. A continuing project seems to be co lle cting . . . rocks, stickers, cards, whatever. He is a creative child, so he often amuses himself, a blessing to a mother with a three-year old daughter and an eleven-m onth-old son.

And, mirabile dictu, he looks after his younger sister and brother and is quite responsible with them!

A senior at the Brookside campus of MKA, the fourth grade student, moves well along on the road to computer literacy and some even write their own programs. Each student has an hour of homework most evenings. Jhe opportunity to study instrumental music and play in the Brookside band becomes available for the first time. Fourth grade students continue to maintain daily journals as do all students in grades K-4. By this time, the jour­ nals reflect dramatically increased style, skill and writing ease. Similar progress can be noted in science and mathematics skills.

The fourth grade graduation in June signals the end of one significant phase of a student’s MKA education and the move to a new campus, new teachers and new challenges.

ALYSANDRA SCHWARZ—GRADE 4 Warm, affectionate, articulate, natural, caring, very receptive to learning . . . these are some of the term s used by teachers to describe Alysandra Schwarz. One does not need to be around this charm ing young lady for long to realize the term s are apt ones.

Alysandra is a gifted c h ild with many interests. She derives genuine pleasurefrom books and is currently reading the Laura Ingalls W ilder Little House on the Prairie series. She studies violin at M ontclair State C ollege and played W endy in the fo u r th ^ g ra de ’s production of “ Peter Pan” . C alligrap hy is another of her interests, as is her antique fan collection. She likes to swim and play tennis and roots for the New York Yankees.

Alysandra is som ething of a w orld traveler, having already visited Switzerland, M adeira, Israel, and C alifornia. Part of this travel has entailed hearing her father, conductor and virtuoso trum peter Gerard Schwarz, perform. She is pleased that he w ill be co nd uctin g at W aterloo Village, NJ this sum m er and looks forward to hearing his concerts. Her m other has a professional dance background, so Alysandra has had a broad exposure to the arts. Last w inter Alysandra sang in four perform ances of an opera conducted by her father at the A m bassador Auditorium in Los Angeles, California.

Alysandra cam e to M KA in the first grade and is happy she d id so. She likes the teachers here and notes that “ p u b lic school was too easy.” Summer cam p is a vacation highlight. Then it’s on to the m id dle school and fifth grade, som ething she eagerly anticipates. This rather special young lady w ill bring m uch to her new academ ic m ilie fe i;

The sixth grade is the last year of the contained classroom that lower school students experience. The transition from a home room to subject matter teachers means more freedom, a more departmentalized academic approach, more homework, a greater emphasis on skills, and more responsibility.

Students are on the threshhold of adolescence, and all that portends.

By the end of sixth grade, students are ready for their secondary years (7-12) which bring the oppor­ tunity to participate in inter­ scholastic sports and to assume a leadership role in the middle school. It also includes a rigorous college preparatory program, and the opportunity to develop strengths in areas of personal interest.

We thought it would be interesting to profile a sixth and a seventh grader in the middle school to pro­ vide some insights on these students and their experiences.

AYANA GOORE — GRADE 6 Ayana Goore is a delightful and fascinating am algam of talent, energy and infectious enthusiasm. An honor student, an excellent athlete and a gifted m usician, she handles it all with an aplom b that is as refreshingias it is natural; . ; Ayana, whoMves in East Orange, has been at MKA since pre­ kindergarten. Her teachers describe her as highly motivated, conscientious and an individual thinker. She has an inquiring m ind and does not hesitate to question a statement or p o s itio fij A y J ia gets on very w ell with her classmates, though she can rise above the usual peer pressures, a rare a b ility for a c h ild of twelve. jjfe n g lis h and math are two of her favorite subjects. She explains her partiality to math by the fact that she likes co m plicated things. Perhaps that is why, along with her Jjiterest in drawing, she sees herself as a future architect. She thinks the teachers here make a big difference in her feelings.tow ards a course.

M usically, Ayana is som ething of a one-woman band. She plays flutej piano and recorder! A m em ber of the f lute section of the m id dle school band, she studies piano privately and, w hile she plays classical music, confesses to a weakness for disco.

Ayana looks forward eagerly to seventh grade for many reasons: greater ffeedom and responsibility and also the opportunity to participate on the m id dle school athletic teams. Anything Ayana addresses herself to she does thoroughly and well -so it is with sports. Currently, she fin ds tim e for lacrosse, tennis, track, baseball and soccer, and excels in all. She is on the sprint m edley relay team of the East O rangeStriders, and also runs the 400 and 800 yard events for this com m unity team of w hich She has been a m em ber for three years. She has a basketball court iglher backyard to help hone her skills and she plays much tennis during the summer. She anticipates playing shortstop on her localfflittle League baseball team over the summer. Small w onder she is anxious to get to seventh grade and the team sports!

There is little reason to doubt that Ayana Goore w ill handle the transition from sixth to seventh grade with her usual enthusiasm and many talents and prosper ■ the process.

JAMES KRAMER—GRADE 7 Jamie Kramer is a h a p p y y p u tg lfn ip T and articulate young man whdse self­ assuredness belies his thirteen ye§Ts.’ He handled the rather significant change from sixth to seventh grade with relative ease. In fact, he thrived on it!

He not o nly enjoys the greater irofedom he has encountered in seventh grade, he’d like more of it, thank Jdu. p lla m ie , who h ® a younger brotner and sister at MKA, entered the A w d e m f in fifth grade. Whit® currently livingTn Wayne, the Kramers w ill move to M ontclair by the end of the summer, a change w hich Jam ie w elcom es as it v p l make getting to school much easier.

3

A cadem ically, he is a strong student, particularly In m athem atics— he took algebra this year. He also enjoys social studies and w hile he does w ell In English, he confesses It Is not currently his favorite subject. He has a great Interest In W orld W ar II. and dream s of a possible m ilitary career and attending West Point, Annapolis or the U.S. A ir Force Academ y. The Idea of some day being captain of an aircraft carrier is particularly a pp ea lin g to him. He does not, however, rule out a career in business.

Swim m ing, soccer and baseball are Jam ie's athletic pursuits. In addition to sw im m ing freestyle, short distance, m iddle distance and the m ile events for the m id dle school team, he also lends his talents to a com m unity team in Wayne w hich participates in a sum m er league. He is a man of all positions in soccer, playing fullback, halfback and m idfield. He is an outfielder for the m id dle school b a s e b a lg j team but claim s his greatest im pact athletically w ill not be in baseball.

W hile Jam ie espouses more freedom and personal responsibility for seventh and eighth graders, he is q u ic k to note that there is more of it at MKA than at p u b lic schools he attended and that some of his friends now attend. He says the reason for this is that students here are more serious about their studies and therefore can handle greater responsibility. He looks forward to his upper school years and the additional opportunities they w ill bring.

As a sophomore at MKA, a student begins to take more personal responsibility in his or her education.

Electives in foreign languages, social studies and science bring a welcomed variety to the program. Students with special talents advance in mathematics and language, and many plan their high school program to include college level courses. A variety of athletic teams, service organizations and interest clubs fill out the day until one wishes for extra hours in the day or days in the week to accomplish all that can be done.

JASON O’NEILL—GRADE 10 Honor student, all-league hockey star, varsity lacrosse player— these are a few of the accom plishm ents of 15 yearold Jason O ’Neill. He also found tim e this past w inter to play for the New Jersey Rockets hockey team, w hich had the distinction of advancing to the national finals in Detroit.

M athem atics and science are particular strengths, but Jason professes an interest in history, also. W ith a name such as his, it should com e as no surprise that Irish history is espe cia lly attractive to him. He has dem onstrated an artistic aptitude, and is a talented sculptor.

Jason “ loves school,” to quote him. He claim s that the teachers play a vital role at MKA and that their superior quality is a d istinction of the school w hich he appre­ ciates. He also enjoys the independence and responsibility he fin ds at the Academ y. Jason, who lives in C edar Grove, cam e to MKA as a freshman. That year he played varsity hockey on the M KA team that won the Gordon Cup, representative of the New Jersey State high school cham pionship. He also enjoys tennis, g olf and squash.

The O ’N eill name is not new to MKA. Jason’s brother, Darrin, is one year ahead of him in the u p p e r school, and another brother Colin, graduated in 1982. In addition,

4

there are several uncles, aunts and cousins with MKA ties. Jason’s father, Roger, is a MKA trustee.

W hile late spring was marred for Jason due to a broken collarbone incurred in a varsity lacrosse gam e against D w ight Englewood, he is now fu lly m ended, and looking forward to his jun ior year.

The senior year means many things— leadership roles in the Academy; college decisions; senior lounge and senior privileges; a largely selfselected program of electives; Awards Night; Senior Prom; Commencement.

To receive the MKA diploma, each student must complete four years of English, three years of a foreign language; three years of mathematics, two years of social studies, two years of laboratory science, and one and a half years of fine and performing arts.

Most seniors take far more than the required minimum of courses. In addition students participate in a broad array of extra­ curricular activities. It is not an easy road to that June commencement day, but an exciting and challenging one.

VEENA NAYAK — GRADE 12 In attem pting to describe Veena Nayak succinctly, “ m ulti-talented” com es to m ind most readily. Yet, even that description seems wanting. Veena is extraordinarily gifted in many areas, not the least of w hich is c la s s ic a lfid ia n dance.

This year she received the rare honor of being named a fin alist . ' in the dance category of the Presidential Scholar national talent search. She is a superb perform er and has been described as “ a consumm ate artist on stage.” She also received a $1500 scholarship from the National Foundation for Advancem ent in the Arts in recognition of her accom plishm ents in dance. She has studied Hindu m ythological dance dram as in India on several occasions, and is a m em ber of the professional dance troupe of the Padm ini Institute of Fine Arts. Veena w ill dance with this group during the sum m er in perform ances in B o s to rfp B a d e lp h ia and at Cornell University, as w ell as o th e & l locations. Am ong her m any perform ances this year was a w g h ly a cclaim ed dance recital at the annual Benefactors Dinner at the upper school campus.

Science and m e d icin e are other keen interests of Veena. Last sum m er she w orked at the Rochester, NY M edical Center and wrote a scholarly paper o n ||e r experience there. A career in m edicine is her aim and she w ill enter the City C ollege of New York’s six-year m edical degree program in September. Her mother is a m edical doctor and her father has a Ph.D. in C h e m ica ffin gine e ring .

In addition to the sciences, Veena is quite partial to literature. She enjoys reading, e spe cia lly fic tio n because, as she puts it, “ Each book provides new insights, and addresses many aspects of life.” Novels she enjoyed recently were Jane Eyre, Catch 22, and Sons and Lovers. She also fin d s the works of Shakespeare fascinating. Her other pastim es include tennis, listening to Indian and rock m usic, and, Indian dance.

Veena entered M K A ’ih ninth grade, and cherishes her years at the Academ y. “ I not only received an excellent education, but I gained much from being with the MKA students and teachers. The students here are eager to learn, and the faculty provides a stim ulating environm ent for a positive attitude toward education. The teachers are outstanding and place trust in the student. You learn to think independently.” Veena proved her a cad em ic m e ttle p i being elected to Cum Laude. Shells w ell liked and respected by students and faculty and has been referred to as a “very talented, mature, totally responsible and outstanding person.”

She contributed m uch to the q uality of Be at MKA and she w ill be missed.

A very special part of our Italy trip was visiting JOAN M cCO NNELL '59.

Joan, w ho te a c h e s Ita lia n to S ta n fo rd U n iv e rs ity s tu d e n ts , is a ls o in charge of organizing Stanford’s foreign language program in Florence.

D uring opr visit, Joan gave us an im pressive account of the Stanford program, a tour of the v illa and its gardens, w hich are situated on a h illside just outside of Florence com m anding a superb view of the city.

At a d e licio u s w ine and cheese party we got a chance to meet some of the students who all sang Joan’s praises as a “fantastic teacher.” Joan also gave us names of her favorite Florentine restaurants and stores w hich were all marvelous.

When asked about her Kim berley days, Joan said, “ You m ight say I am a “full term ” Kim berley girl. I spent 13 years there, starting in nursery school, skipping seventh grade, and graduating at 16. D uring alm ost all of my Kim berley years I studied ballet, starting out w ith Fred Danieli in East O range and when he moved to a school in Newark, my sister, Teena, JOAN M cC O N N E L L ’59 and I follow ed him. We becam e quite p roficient and when George Bal­ anchine cam e to observe classes at the ballet school In Newark, he suggested that Teena and I audition for the Am erican Bailet School. We d id so and were accepted and I w orked with B alanchine throughout my high school years. Both Teena and I are very tall and Balanchine liked long lines, long legs, high insteps.

"Upon graduation from Kim berley I had to make a career c h o ic e — colle ge or ballet. C ollege won out, Sarah Lawrence and C olum bia. (A junior year abroad at the Sarah Lawrence v illa in Florence was the starting point of my infatuation with Italy). I d e cid e d I d id not w ant to pursue ballet as a career and I knew that once I left Balanchine, there was no provision for a change of mind. I must say it was a very d iffic u lt and traum atic experience having to make a career choice at 16. I should add that Teena d id continue and was accepted by the Am erican Ballet Com pany at age 15!” _ y . .

■.

After Sarah Lawrence Joan w ent to C olum bia U niversity where she received her Ph.D. in Italian and Linguistics. She has written two textbooks for Japanese university students who are English majors. “The books have a double purpose,” Joan says, 'They must b e .m o d e ls of good Am erican English prose, and an introduction to the basic principles of linguistics, not in a dry scholarly fashion, but with lots of exam ples from the Am erican scene so Japanese students w ill have a better understanding o f how Am erican culture and society works. The first book I wrote w as called, Language and Culture and basically it was a discussion o f the relationship between language and culture in the United States." Given the success of her first textbook, w hich sold 23,000 copies in one year, Joan’s Japanese publisher com m issioned a second book, this tim e with a more geographical emphasis. “ I guess you could call it "geoling uistic,” Joan comm ented. This book, title d Language, a Mirror of Our World, w ill be published this October.

Joan is planning to take a sabbatical in Japan this winter quarter. She says, “ It’s been a very interesting experience w orking with the Japanese, and I am quite anxious to learn about their m ethods of teaching a second language. She plans to work on a com parative study on sim ilarities and differences that all second language teachers encounter and fami liarize herself with the kind of m aterial they use.

Joan, who loves living in Florence, moves back and forth between Italy and the U nited States. She still has an active interest in dance and w ilt be attending a dance sem inar in M aine this summer. Joan has an international group of friends in Florence and leads a very cosm opolitan life.

Joan concluded our interview, "So there you have it—-K im berley, ballet and Balanchine, Sarah Lawrence, Colum ­ bia, Stanford in Italy, Japanese publishers, a few other things in-between, and now this delightful visit with you and the MKA g ro up .”

Some Lasting Impressions of: the c o u n tr y—

Alw ays seeing m ountains with towns built on their sides, vineyards of all sizes, groves of olive trees, wonderful quaint farm s built of.stone with terra cotta roofs, terraced hillside farm land. t h e p e o p l e — W onderfully warm and friendly, always helpful in spite of the language barrier, m arvB ously expressive ¡ISw language and gestures.

THE FOOD AND WINE — W ould have to be e x p e ri|||c e d to be believed, our appreciation for the many form s of pasta has grown, the w ines are so pure and fre s l^ B THE SHOPPING — FabulO u|§g everything from leather shoes and bags to pottery, clothe s’ lace, gold, ovcp cheese made Its way back to the U.S.A. t h e CULTURE-She best way to describe it is.a “ living culture.”

Italians grow up with the modern and a n jie n t in close concert, their heritage Is a part of their everyday lives, but not som ething that is r taken forgranted. It is a very special feeling. o u r t o u r — When you have a group of 20 people and there are 2 Judys, 2 Janes, 2 Fays, 2 Denises and 2 Lucys, you know it’s going to click. We had three wonderful men with us, all husbands of TKS alumnae, who added.a lo tto our enjoyment. We were truly blessed with the finest of guides. Carolyn Vallone and Peter Rockwell each spent a day w ith us in Rome, and Franca Camiz, who was w iS us the entire trip. Her know ledge of art in all its form s is Incredible, but her a b ility to convey It to us neophytes in a w ay both fascinating and educational is truly remarkable. Every day we w ould have “ hangers on” who were as drawn to her as we were!

As for Judy Allen, she was W onder Woman, tireless in her attention to detail and doing everything possible to make our trip perfect.

Grazie m ille, Judy!

A h ig hligh t of the M KA tour m em bers’ visit to Italy was spending a day with FRANK GERARD 76, who lives and works in Venice. Frank gave our group a fine tour of Venice, including a visit to the Venice Com m ittee for Restoration’s headquarters in the Scuola di San Giovanni Evangelista.

That evening, he led us along w inding canals to a superb seafood restau­ rant where we sam pled dish after dish of various kinds of fresh fish a c­ com panied by d elicio us wines.

Upon graduation from MKA in 1976. Frank enrolled in, the five-year architectural program at C ooper Union In New York City. It proved to be a rigorous program and Frank was one of fifteen of the o riginal fifty in his class to make it through.

W hile at C ooper Union, Frank took a course from Professor A ido Rossi, a w ell known Italian architect and director of the Venice Biennale, a m ajor international art show. Frank becam e enthralled with Italy and spent sev­ eral summ ers a pprenticing with Professor Rossi. With degree fresh in hand, he m oved to Venice last N ovem bepand was fortunate to find a very attractive apartment. Frank shares a studio with another young architect, and he works closely with Professor Rossi m aking architectural m odels for his many projects in Italy and abroad, and assisting with preparations for the Biennale. Frank was also responsible for organizing a Show of Rossi’s work w hich took place in New York last winter. In what spare tim e he has, Frank does volunteer work with the Venice Com m ittee and the International Fund for Monuments.

It is obvious that life in Venice agrees with Frank. W hile w alking about the city w ith him, we were amazed by how many people he knew from all walks of life. He hopes to continue w orking and living in Venice and, if all goes according to plan, w ill have an asslstantship in the departm ent of architecture at the U niversity in Venice this fall. Frank’s cherished a m b i­ tion is the establishm ent of a foundation to underwrite the costs of lodging for the many artists and architects who com e to Venice for the Biennale.

Hotel rooms are very d iffic u lt to find in Venice any tim e of the year but during the Biennale it is p ra ctically im possible and many people have to find lod gin gs in surrounding towns.

When asked to com m ent on his years at MKA, Frank said, “The art courses w hich I took with art teacher Jeanne Jones were as good as any I took w hile at Cooper U nion." This is high praise from such a talented young man.

We all enjoyed m eeting Frank in Venice and thank him for m aking our visit very special.

In June, MKA said farewifl to several departing faculty and staff: from Brookside,||ndergarten teacher Kathryn C ollins; from the! m id d le sch o a , language teacher Nick M a rn e ll, English teacher David Robinson, and social studies teacher Larry Filippone; and from the uppbr school, language teacher Reinaldo Gonzalez, science teacher Ken Nealy, and history teacher Rachel Stetler, who had been on ma­ ternity leave.

At, the final faculty meeting in June, middle school head­ master Jim Burger gave spe­ cia l trib u te to d e p a rtin g colleagues, Tony Daur and M arg aret W right, both of whom have been at MKA for more than ten years/; Moggs, who was assistant head and taught math, has moved to Evansville, IN, where her hus­ band has taken a new job.

Tony, who taught social stud­ ies, w ill becom e upper school head of the Last Woods School in Oyster Bay, Long Island.

Four long-time colleagues and friends also retired this past June: Brookslde secre­ taries Jean van Antwerp and Doris Overholser, upper school librarian Penny Clauson, and upper school Latin teacher Kit Gregory. Prince, pal Frances O’Connor pre­ sented each w ith an MKA ch a lrfflfi gra titud e for theirj dedication and loyalty.

Jean van Antwerp joined The Kimberley School staff in 1965 as se cre ta ry to then H eadm istress F rancine D eC o tiis. She was tra n s ­ ferred to the Brookside cam­ pus at.the time of the merger

in 1974. Noted Dr. O’Connor, "Jean was a rig ht hand at Brookslde from the very be­ ginning of the merger. She is an u ne q u a lle d d ip lo m a t, friend and often counselor to us all.”

Doris Overholser came to the Academy In 1967 as ad­ m issio ns secretary. A fter working in the middle school headmaster's office for many years, she tran sfe rred to Brookside In 1980. “ Doris’ was the first MKA voice heard by many of our parents,” Dr. O’Connor commented. “ She Is best known for her unfailing gentleness, broad smile and genuine love of people.”

Penny Clauson joined the Kim berley fa cu lty in 1966 under then Headmaster Dick

Loveland. She moved on to become head librarian for all three campuses, and was a strong advocate of the rees­ tablishm e nt of the prim ary school library two years ago.

In Dr. O ’C on no r’s w ords, “ Penny will be long remem­ bered for her willingness to help, to do research for stu­ dents and faculty. We hope we sh all see her often at MKA.” Principal O’Connor com­ mented on the varied talents of Kit Gregory, who came to Kim berley in 1967 as “ En­ g lis h , French, and s o cia l studies teacher, secretary, social director, advisor to the Asian Studies Club, and man­ ager of all social events ln-

eluding bus arrangements and chaperoning.” She con­ tin ue d, ‘‘ Kit com bines warmth, strength and high standards in her d ea lin gs with students and advisors.

She’s a sympathetic friend, lover of young people and an unfailing optimist." |f||in a lly , MKA bid farewell to business m anager Dick Rearick and his wife Eileen,

who m anaged the m id d le school book store. The faculty demonstrated their apprecia­ tion of Dick’s warmth, sense of humor and ability by giving him a long standing ovation.

The Rearicks moved In July to Providence, Rl, where Dick Is the new business manager of the Lincoln School.

We are saddened to report the deaths of two former fac­

MA Lt. Cmdr. Alden W. Smith Penury Priory Temple, NH 03084 Your secretary reports, "I hope that, in­ volved as we may be in seeing to it that we take regular portions of Gerltol, everyone who can do so will find time to drop an oc­ casional note to me or the Alumni Office . . . the news doesn't have to be limited to milestS .llevents in your life. We have had al­ most sixty years to try out our dreams, and achieve successes and suffer defeats, so we should indeed have something to say to one another! For starters, I can account for a quartet of classmates who went to Dart­

mouth from MKA, all of whom graduated in 1930. Douglas “Buzz” Whitelaw, who was one of Chief Broadhead’s favorite sc^tbacksScontinued his tennis and football his first year and then put his talents to the books. He died in the late 1960’s. Hugh “Kirk” Jackson, after a rewarding career in the money markets, and a yachting avoca­ tion, passed away in the early 197.0-j£ George Scheller pursued a career In med­ icine and is now retired, living in Massachu­ setts.

I retired from RCA over ten years ago. My wife, Anne, and I live on a IprSggly bit of acreage with 11 cats and 1 dog. Our primary farm crop seems to be granite, but we do manage to harvest a few apples, and vast numbers of black flies, in season.

Now, if you can’t think of anything else, let me know whether Billy Miller or Dr. Steve Lee influenced your life!"

Unfortunately, our other daughter, Susasl lives in Saudi Arabia, too far away to be with us. Then we are off to the Orient in Septem­ ber for a little mystery and adventure.”

When she was here Elizabeth pre­ sented Principal Frances O'Connor with one of the new George Washington commemo­ rative silver half dollar coins designed by her. This is the first new U.S. commemora­ tive coin In three decades.

MA Peter Cockshaw P.O. Box 427 Newtown Square, PA 19073 Had some great respons;es,;to our letter about qu'r upcoming 30th reunion October 15. Art Ramee and “ Big lrishm |g” Dave Connolly even “ put a dime in the slot" to call me.

Irish Dave is helping support higher edu­ c a t io n single-handedly with several of his kids in college and hopes O ctober 15th doesn’t conflict with one of the many Par­ ents’ Weekends he has to attend. If n o Q e ’ll be there. Dave and his wife live In Basking Ridge, NJ. It’s been years since I talked to Art who Tjives in New Milford, CT, as he was out of the country for'pur-25th. Art is in international marketing and sales for Union Carbide Cor­ poration w|]jch o fte « e e p s him airborne, mostly to Eutope.

(Art, please note that my son, EKitrisfelso a junior. Unlike his dad, he’s good looking and a nice¡pyV Send photo!) Art definitely plans to be at our 30th if his com pany doesn't dispatch him abroad at thaiwime.’

Lots of happiness to 1y i f f i Ed.MStnd we hope to meet youfimew bride on October 15. ;A note also arrived from "D octor Bob" Weinmann who is constantly on the move.

In a d d itio n a l busy medical praMibfe, Bob S i e d it|ia n d publisher of the controversial Nightletter for American Medicine, excerpts from which we have hi’lliig h te d in past cblum h fl In additioritt#these time-consuming activities, Bob has been touring the country, speaking at afTAmerican Academy ’Sf Clini­ cal Electroenceophilbgraphers’ meeting in '

Arizona on the fatal potential of fainting, a n || in Orlando, FL on brain ‘death and the con­ troversy surrounding transplant operation’s.

Explains Bob, w iB w a s quoted in The Or­ lando Sentina! and Chicago Tribune, "You’ll see doctors from the transplant team hover­ ing on one side of thè room and doctors for the patient on the other side. You come in with your EEG machinqand are expected to make the decision;.:,They put you in the mid­ dle. The EEG and the person who interprets it are becoming a patsy for the others.” Fol­ lowing that blurjt talk, Bob wrote a four-col­ umn spread ort the editorial page of the San Jose Mercury titled "Health Care: Fee-forService or Plea-for-Service?”

The final letter comes from our Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Phil Fradkin. I pur­ posely saved it for last, as Phil makes one comment which really sums up my views, and probably yours too, as we contemplate our “30th.” Phil writes: "Is It possible? Are we really reaching toward 50 years of age?

W henfflthink of all of us together, we still seem to be teenagers!” You are so right, Phil, it hardly seems possible.

On more pleasant matters, Phil, who is self-employed, just returned to his home in Inverness, CA, from Salt Lake City where 1% was working on his.’ next writing project, a two-part series for The New Yorker on the radioactive fallout from the Nevado test site where nuclear w eapons are detonated.

“With some expansion,” Phil explains, “that material w ill become a book for Knopf.”

Moreover,’ Phil has a contract for another book with Knopf, on public lands in the west, .and the Atlantic Monthly has committed it­ self to an article on the same subject. Some future film work is also bn the horizon. This busy schedule (to put it mildly!) won’t allow Phil to commit for our reuniorfiiat this time, but he “will do everything he can to make it.”

I hope you will too. See you October 15th!

What a wonderfuLsurprise to hear fffim Dorie Krebs Barnard in Wenham, MA.

Robb, who is 16, hds.a major interest in singÉgig and acting; he hopes to be studying at Tanglewood this summer. Scott wants to go away toSgRòdl next year as a sophomore, and Tim, the youngest.,, to quote Dorje, “ keeps us on our toes." The Barnards had a very exciting '82 summer in AlaskaS'hey s p e n t, 2 1/2 weeks d riv in g 2,000 m il ® throughout t f e state. Done says it “ makes >Éj» understand the meaning of pioneer and frontier in a liyè' way. It’s happening there now anofmas been for a long time . . . There are stili crazy gold seekers ari^som e very efficient gold miners.” Sounds tempting, yes?; Another party heard from was Barbara Hobart Valbuena, who is still in Newark, DE where Julian teaches at the U. of Delaware.

Their youngest, Vivian,, graduates this year from Tatnall School, and will enter the Hon­ ors Program at Delaware U. in the fall. Her real love is ice skating, Barbara says, and she worked at the Delaware Arena this year.

Teresa is working in Wilmington. Julian and . Barbara traveled to southern California last December and will be .heading to Rhode Island in August, both combined business and vacation trips. I really hope to seeder before I write my next column.

It was great to get a card from North Da­ kota where Dawn Ramhurst Ballman and her family are thriving. Dawn's older daugh­ ter is 17 and a tennis player and musician; the younger one is 15, and her interests ceri-, ter around the theater. . . sounds like snK should meet Done's son. Dawn’s husband, Everett, teaches p o ,lj» a l science, and Dawn, herself, ¡.s still very active in Public Health, caring for patients in their homes.

The Ballmans will head ^A rka n sa s for a while.this summer, butthey “ never get East.”

I guess that means we may have to discover the Dakotas some day.

Had a long letter from Lee Wood Audhuy, who will be spending part of the sum­ mer at the beach in Brittany. She will spend most of her time windsurfing. She enjoys all manner of sports; squash is her latest chal­ lenge. Lee continues to teach at the U. of fToulouse and to publish an occasional artiile In literary j||rh a ls . Leslie sand Thomas keep her busy with their extra-curricular activities from piano and dance lessons to athletics.

Felicity Ferguson Morse writes, "jh e big news in our family is that Carolyn (our oldest daughter) was married the summer of ’82 and is .liv in g ^ Washington, D.C. We have finally bought a house at the Cape and are killing ourselves trying to fix it up at long distance.”

When I heard that Leslie Bunce was in Rowayton and I was just upstate in Ridge­ field, CT, I decided to check out her little cottage. What a spot!

Tom and I received our advanced c e rtifi cation in scuba diving last May. We con­ tinue our in te re s tln whales' by going to Provincetown, MA, to view these magnifi­ cent mammals. We have seen a number of finbacks, and right whales. The latter are the rarest breed and exist on the east coast at the near extinct, non-recoverabie number of 200. Our goal is eventually to take under­ water photographs of whales and other un­ derwater life.

In July, we start sailing lessons and plan to take coast guard and power squadron courses in the fall. Who knows, maybe in a couple of years we’ll buy a boat, take a year off and sail around the world!
