From the Headmaster

T h i s spring issue of Review features our MKA athletic program, including our student-athletes and the facultycoaches who both instruct and serve as exemplars. I have learned from alumni and others that MKA has a rich tradition in athletics.

Recently Sandy Lonsinger, our Athletic Director, and I have attempted to bring athletics into a more prominent and special place among the programs offered to our students and their parents and to strengthen those programs in several ways. For example, we have instituted leadership training for team captains, joined the Colonial Hills League (competition with both public and independent school teams), and researched and purchased over 20 championship banners that hang impressively in the Fairleigh Dickinson Gymnasium. We have also gained ¿Newark Academy’s agreement for a new Thanksgiving Day football game., an arrangement that begins this November. Our Boys’ Lacrosse team will be playing the Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C. on March 18. This year, we are establishing an MKA Athletic Hall of Fame.

That new program is also explained in this issue of the Review. Our only problem seems to be our inability to provide enough gym and field space for all the boys and girls who wish to participate. We are working on that and soon will be asking for your help.

About 30 years ago, Dean Edwin Delattre, my good friend and now MKA Trustee, wrote about the great and transporting moments of participation in competitive athletics. What he said then is instructive for us now. Delattre draws our attention to the conditions under which competitive athletics are possible, to the kind of people who are capablejof achieving them. He also reflects on the touchstone relationship of competitors - e.g., that our competitors must utterly respect the game and be so worthy, they generate with us the intensity of competition.

Delattre continues with discussions of the moral and logical incompatibility of competing and cheating, and the idea that “success in competitive athletics is not reducible to winning nor failure to losing.” Dean Delattre’s fine p ie ^ a uses the 1895 writings of Richard Harding Davis. If you are interested in Delattre’s sevenpage piece, please drop me a line and I will send you a copy. It is worthwhile reading; I recommend it.

Finally, I am pleased to report that more than 140 parents have been attending five sessions associated with the teaching of ethics to their children. The 199495 school year is proceeding with faculty and student enthusiasm and substantial accomplishments.

Enrollments are the highest in five years - 1020. I can cite with confidence that our MKA is flourishing in significant areas. You can wear your MKA sweatshirts with pride.

Many of our teams can boast of winning seasons and others can take pride in strong improvement. We hope you take the opportunity to watch a few contests. We have rewritten and expanded our Philosophyfo r Athletics, a working document that melds nicely with the aspirations cited in Our Common Purpose and Our Character Expectations fo r MKA Students, expectations that are at the heart of our ethics and formation of character programs.

With best wishes, Dr. Peter R. Greer, Headmaster

Staying on Top o f Ifour Game: Athletics at MKA There are both boys’ and girls’ teams in soccer, fencing, basketball, tennis and lacrosse. The school works hard to ensure gender equity in uniforms, scheduling, and number of sports offered.

Thefirst year the team was 0-16. Sophomore year they improved to 8-8. By junior year they were 14-2 and went to the state tournament. There nine hockey players valiantly fought the powerful state champs and lost by only one point. Senior year, one o f the players wrote his college essay about what it meant to be on that team and how he had let them down by being injured in the big game.

MKA is committed to supporting its teams with improved equipment, gym and field space, and scheduling. An improvement for one team affects them all. A weight room at the Upper School, for example - originally put in for football - now draws athletes from many sports. The school’s Long-Range Plan is considering options for better playing space, as currendy many teams vie for practice time on the same fields and gyms.

Athletics are the stuff of legends. Long after the teams have disbanded, athletes recall their great triumphs and disappointments, their discipline, camaraderie, love of sport, and their school spirit.

Interscholastic athletics are alive and well at The Montclair Kimberley Academy.

Not just an alumni memory, they are thoroughly entrenched in the very educational ideal of the school.

“Lessons in sportsmanship, teamwork, competition, and winning and losing gracefully are expected outcomes by participants on each team....”! states the official MKA Philosophy of Athletics.

“MKA is convinced that athletics are an important partner of academics at both the Middle and Upper Schools. It is expected that disciplined effort and practice will pay off on the field of competition, in the academic classrooms, and in the conduct of one’s l i f e ^ |

MKA’s physical education program designed to foster habits of wellness, physical fitness, and skills dovetails into extracurricular athletics.

Headmaster Peter***» Greer notes proudly an increased number of students participating in afterschool sports and improvement in many teams. He attributes this to the coaches and philosophy:

Intramural and interscholastic teams in grades 6-8 are judged on the participation, good sportsman­ ship, and athletic progress o f individual members and the team concept. Competing well and making individual athletic progress, not the won/lost records, are the primary goals... JV players compete in all contests.

To that end, MKA offers 19 interscholastic sports at the Upper School and 15 at the Middle School. All students in grades 6-12 are encouraged to go out for a team in at least two seasons. Fall sports include football, field hockey, soccer, girls’ tennis, and cross­ country. Winter sports are swimming, fencing, basketball, volleyball, ice hockey, and ski racing; spring brings lacrosse, baseball, softball, boys’ tennis, and golf.

In recent years, several MKA teams have made headlines as they won games and championships.

The 1991-92 Ice Hockey team won its division and the prestigious Handschen Cup. 1993 Boys’ Fencing was overall NJSLAA State Champion. The 1993 Boys’ Soccer team (with a 16-3 record) won the State Prep B Division Championships for the first time.

(NJSIAA) and to schedule non-league games as before.

Fencing and swimming will continue to have an independent schedule.

This fall, Girls’ Tennis went an astounding 24-2, with a 16-game winning streak. They won the NJSIAA Parochial B State Championships and five of the players were named to All-State teams. 1994 Varsity Football reached the NJSIAA playoff semifinals.

Changing the Conference One longtime goal in athletics is to establish schedulelpf that minimize practice and game-travel time. In the past, teams traveled long distances to compete in certain sports, missing classes and valuable homework time. For that reason, in the 1995-96 school year, MKA will join the Colonial Hills Athletic Conference, a h t. league of 15 independent and public schools of similar size in Essex, Morris, and Somerset counties. This will give MKA local rivalries and more Essex County recognition, and, it is hoped, more fans. (Longtime prep rivals Pingry and Newark Academy are also in Colonial Hills.)

“There’s a healthy balance and realistic perspective on athletics at MKA,” says football and baseball coach Ralph Pacifico, a former Philadelphia Eagles player.

“Academic^ are a priority.” He lauds the emphasis on team play and camaraderie, and “the time required to pay the dues.|iw Commitment Montclair Academy, Kimberley, and MKA have always fielded strong athletic teams; certain sports had winning dynasties. Water polo in the late 1970s, hockey and fencing in the 80s come to mind.

g

The change of conference will give Athletic Director Sandy Lonsinger a consistent league for scheduling both girls’ and boys’ games. In the past, as an independent school, MKA changed opponents often in most sports, and girls had no league. The change will give MKA athletes “legitimate conference tides” to work for.

t~ m

The major change in varsity sports, according to Sandy Lonsinger, is in the players themselves. He sees more participation in recent years by girls. The other change is specialization. “The days of the tmly great three-sport athletes are over,” he says. “Now they must play a sport nine to ten months to be considered serious.” Soccer plays all year; so do swimming, fencing and tennis; hockey and basketball extend from winter to summer.

“The truly serious athlete will attend summer camp,” he says. Parents also get involved in youth sports clubs and help organize team travel. Such dedication has the positive result of improving the level of school

“It’s a big step for MKA sports and in many cases we’ll be stepping up in terms of competition,” says Lonsinger. ¿¿¡‘But it puts us on equal footing for practice and pre-season startsH MKA will continue to participate in independent school tournaments

Athletics and Academics This fall 45 percent of the MKA Upper School Honor Roll achievers participated in the athletic program.

Of those 77 student athletes, 11 earned high honors.

The Legacy of Fencing The Montclair Kimberley Academy has long dominated the sport of fencing; indeed, MKA has won eleven state championships since 1981. In the early 1980s, MKA girls were ranked first in the country.

Montclair Academy offered fencing in the late 60s, but it was the year of the merger, 1974-75, when Athletic Director Carmen Marnell established the current run. That first year he coached fencing as a club sport; from then on it was a regular winter sport. Ellen Steege Iverson joined him as assistant in 1980 and coaches the girls’ team to this day. A litany of celebrated coaches followed Marnell: Tom Boutsikaris, Steve Marmando, Charles Boutsikaris.

MKA girls were state champions every year but one from 1981-1990; Cougar boys won sabre in 1989 and overall in 1993.

Most MKA fencers continue fencing in college, particularly in the Ivies, and often meet each other at NCAA tournaments. Over one two-year period (1992-93), the captains of Yale, Columbia, Stanford, and Cornell fencing were all MKA alumni (Nicole Gray ’88, Jill Tobia ’88, Lana Kang ’89, Kim Charlton ’90).

Bob Cottingham ’84 leads the list of fencing greats from MKA. Bob, who fenced for Columbia University, was national sabre champion in 1990 and competed in the Olympics in 1988 and 1992.

India Hayes ’80 was eighth in tryouts for the fivemember U.S. Olympic team; Ali Dvorin ’89, who fenced at NYU, is training for the 1996 team.

Charlton ’90 spearheaded a class action suit demanding equal access to athletics. Cornell settled, the team came back, and Kim stayed on after graduation as a fencing coach.

And it was an MKA alumna who got women’s fencing reinstated at Cornell. When the University withdrew funding for the Division I team, Kim

team play and drawing in other players. “The allaround athlete can compete in good interscholastic competition^H

The Headmaster notes that the coaches’ reputations and the quality of competition have an added benefit in MKA students’ college acceptances. Schools approach MKA and the coaches help recmiters.

Coaches also write many a letter to support college applications.

MKA sponsors athletic trips and scrimmages during spring break for preseason training; soccer, football and field hockey have long had “camps” in late August.

Coach MKA encourages coaches, too, to attend clinicjgand workshops. Many help run summer programs: Upper School faculty member Noll Klank works at five or six lacrosse camps at different campuses (including Johns Hopkins) every year; M iddle School teacher and soccer guru Ashley Hammond - a former pro player in England - trains 1,000 children in his Montclair United soccer camps.

Summing up the MKA athletic program, Dr. Greer says, “We have an array of sports activities, excellent participation, and exceptional coaches. We are looking at all opportunities and planning to improve our facilities^ “One last goal is to have more student school spirit,” he says, “but with everyone playing something, who is left to cheer?”!»

In true independent school tradition, “We are looking for the teacher-coach,” says Dr. Greer. “Given the choice, we will hire the outstanding teacher, then find the coach. If necessary we will look outside, with the same rigorous hiring process.”

To that end, a Pep Band of students, faculty, and alumni made its debut at Homecoming 1994, sporting Cougar caps and rugby shirts. The first official MKA Spirit Day was instituted in January [see Notes Around MKA], and the school is establishing an Athletic Hall of Fame to honor its outstanding athletes.

Recent additions to the coaching staff include Sally Drey®, a former field hockey and lacrosse college

You’ve Got a Friend at MKA: Career Services T h e newly established Office of Career Services is providing an active network for recent MKA graduates.

The office has been a link to other alumni and parents in the search for career and job counseling, intern­ ships, and job interviews. Twelve alumni called the first week of operation!

The other activity of the office is the Bank of Community Resources, wherein alumni, parents, and faculty have volunteered to share their expertise (or stories, photos, videos) in the classroom. An early participant, Dr. Larry Rosen ’84, a pediatrician, visited Brookside to discuss preventive medicine and delighted the first grade students with his discussion of the heart and how it works. The children were so enthusiastic that he plans to return in the spring.

Alumni are encouraged to join this exciting new venture which reinforces MKA’s Our Common Purpose

and commitment to “expand our personal guidance^ -j system that helps each student...choose options for the future.”

Virginia Kriegel Director o f Career Services Can Virtue Be Taught? Can Virtue Be Learned?

A lecture and discussion series with Headmaster

Peter Greer drew more than 120 parents to each of five sessions, which were designed to enhance understanding of ethics and how it can be applied to everyday life, especially in parenting. The series, an extension of the Pre-K -12 curriculum, started with a few parents wanting to know more about the ethics their children were learning in MKA classrooms.

Parents’ “homework” included excerpts from the work of ancient and modern philosophers, writers, and poets, and common legends across cultures. Parents, like their children, wresded with the concepts of courage, temperance, justice, responsibility, wisdom, 1 friendship, and integrity.

Senior Dennis M cNeil receives the game hallfrom Athletic Director Sandy Lonsinger, after becoming only the ninth player in MKA history to score 1,000 careerpoints. Dennis is pictured with his parents, Vemita and Larry McNeil,, before a crowdpfMKA Spirit Day fans.

“The interim assessment reveals that these parents have continued their discussions at ad hoc lunches,” says Dr. Greer, “and send faxes to each other regarding several of the readings, including John D. MacDonald’s ‘End of the ffiger’. They find the experience as a stimulus to talking later with each other about the readings. Many parents attempt to transfer what they have learned to their children.

We’ve Got That Cougar Spirit F an s turned out in force and cheers were loud at the first “MKA Spirit Day” on January 20. Four Cougar teams played Newark Academy in sequential games, and all four teams won: Volleyball, Swimming, Girls’ and Boys’ Basketball.

The sports fans’ delight began after school that Friday and continued well into the evening. Students from the Free Group sold refreshments and MKA’s new Step Team performed tricky routines during time-outs. In the, er, spirit of the day, all MKA fans - students, faculty, parents - received a painter’s cap sporting the words “MKA Spirit.”

■“Our model for our students and our parent course is one of the primacy of private decency," he continues, “that to have a good life, our children (and we) must lead a good life. To lead a good life, we must be able to control ourselves. To control ourselves we must cultivate our character (develop good habits through reading and activities) and cultivate our intellect (have continuous moral conversations and reading of telling literature...anfpapplication to public issues and current events).”

To add to the excitement, history was made that evening during the boys’ basketball game, when senior Dennis McNeil scored 28 points and became only the ninth player in MKA history to go over the 1,000-point mark. Stan Traymore ’54, Jeff Silberfeld ’65, John Howald ’66, Dave Minchen ’76, Laura Marnell ’78, Tony Barnes ’79, Charles Currin ’83 and Maureen Towers ’83 were the other players to readh that career milestone.

Tennis Champs T h e Girls’ Tennis team won the Parochial B State Championship with a splendid 24-2 season. Five players - Brooke Travis, Kelli Kessler, Beth Noell, Pam Saxena, and Marie Albarelli - were named to the Parochial First Team; Pam Saxena and Marie Abarelli were named to the Third Team, All-State.

Class Notes Editor’s Note As those of you in classes with secretaries realize, we use one yearly mailing to obtain news, which appears in the FALL magazine. SPRING magazine Class Notes are taken from reunion, holiday, and phonathon news, the flap on the Annual Giving remittance envelope, and the “Grapevine” on the inside back cover.

Although the items might seem “old,” we have found that people love to read news whenever.

The time lapse is unavoidable, as the processing of Class Notes from secretary to Alumni Office to classmates to secretary to Alumni Office to designer to printer covers a l4-to-l6 week period!

Please remember that you can send a note to your class secretary or to the Alumni Office anytime.

To those of you without a class secretary, how would you like to volunteer?. The job has been simplified to the point that you will probably find it most enjoyable! The position of alumni class secretary, like that of class agent and reunion chairman, is absolutely essential to the vitality of the school.

Please consider it.

A letter from Clifton N . Lavers ’28, Devonshire:

O ur condolences to the family of longtime class secretary Alden W. Smith.

Once again a spry Homer Whitmore made the journey from Rochester, N.Y. to grace Homecoming at MKA, and once again his travels made his local paper. The Brighton-Pittsford Post quotes him: “‘I stopped for lunch at my favorite hotel, the Waldorf Astoria, and once again saw Mrs. Douglas MacArthur, the widow of the great general. She was being pushed in her wheelchair to return to her apartment in the Waldorf Towers, and I went over to greet her, and she remembered to tell me again that she had known Gen. Stilwell.

“Every now and again we two old boys o f MA - both retired and living in England - meet.

H e is Fraser M artens ’28x and his Mrs. drives him down to this house where my daughter and I live plus younger members o f the family. ^K traser and I are 84 and 83 respectively. He left for Upper Canada College in 1927 and I left MA in 1928. I had to cram Latin for a year before getting into Pembroke College, Oxford.

“Fraser was aide-de-camp to the Sultan o f Johpre and was picked up by the Japanese in Singapore. I volunteered to the Honourable Artillery Company * travelled all over but served a very undistinguished war.

“I hope someone around our age has a grandson or granddaughter and that one o f these pictures Jjtay be ol use.”

We went to Acadia Park, and after 64 years in Maine I finally saw the world from the top of Cadillac Mountain. Ann and Jean both look fantastic and charmed my new eight-month-old granddaughter. Ann lives in Florida, but with children in New England, she comes up often.

Her ten years of living on Mt. Desert Island made her the perfect tour guide. Our condolences to Ann on the death of her husband in January.

Sis Underwood Gregory has a new grandchild, number three. Husband Russ had a carotid artery operation at about the same time and plans a second.

Frances Johnson Ames’ second grandchild, Paige, was born to Rich and Betsy Ames Abramowitz ’78. Frances had a great trip to Berlin, Dresden, and Prague with Helen Jones Gordon ’42.

Justice Served Justice Robert Clifford ’42 was lauded in a front-page article of the Star Ledger as he retired from the New Jersey Supreme Court. His career included 20 years as “a zealous trial lawyer,” 44 months as a member of Gov. William Cahill’s cabinet, and 21 years in the state’s highest court.

“In that time, Clifford has earned a reputation as a stylist with a passion for good writing, as a witty and earthy individualist,” states the article, “and as a fair judge [who relies] on facts and boldness as a basis for his decisions.”

He credits his flair for writing and proper usage to two elementary and high school teachers, and to Chief Justice Joseph Weintraub. “When I was at Montclair Academy,” Clifford is quoted, “my English teacher there was someone who they would call a legend in his own time - William Avery Barras. Anybody who went to Montclair Academy in the late 30s and early 40s had to be impressed with him.”

The Last Mountain, Con’t.

From Phyllis Harder Reininger ’45: I was most interested in the article “The Last Mountain” in the fall Review [about an MKA wilderness trip].

My home is in a suburb of Seattle. To everyone that lives in this area, Rainier is THE MOUNTAIN. We can see it from our front door, about 85 miles away. On the days when it’s visible the locals say, “The mountain is out today!”

It was exciting to read about the Free Group’s ascent, for the members of our family have climbed it many times: son Craig was a guide for Rainier Mountaineering for seven seasons and has 103 ascents; son Chuck worked there six seasons and has about 80; daughter-in-law Becky did it three times, and son Rick and husband Dick once each.

Dick and our dog Rascal are involved in search and rescue and have been on 10 searches in the mountain. They found two people, one buried eight feet deep in an avalanche.

So you see, we are very “close” to Mount Rainier. It would have been great fun to meet the MKA group.

50 Years Ago From the admissions catalogue o f Montclair Academy, 1944-46: In cooperation with national and state authorities, a period of military drill has been established for older boys. This involves setting-up drill, marching tactics, and commando training. This period is under the direction of the athletic director, who is assisted by a reserve officer from the United States Army.

In addition to this, the school is keenly alive to its responsibility for definite contribution to the war effort. This takes many different forms, including Red Cross, scrap drives, contribution of books, sale of war bonds and stamps, Bundles for America, and several others.

Preserving The Sound of Music From an editorial by Bruce Shapiro in The Nation, August 22129, 1994.

Ralph Rinzler [Montclair Academy, Class of 1952], who died on July 2 at age 59, was a hell of a good mandolin player. But the passion that drove Rinzler to the musical company of performers like Bob Dylan and Taj Mahal ultimately led him off the stage, to a largely anonymous but profoundly influential career with the Smithsonian Institution as archivist, nurturer, and promoter of this nation’s traditional and immigrant cultures.

An old Library of Congress record of mountain ballads won Rinzler over in his New Jersey childhood. After graduating from Swarthmore in 1956 he began tooling around the South with a tape machine in the trunk. In Mount Ary, N.C., he made legendary recordingsi bf then-unknown Doc Watson picking old-time tunes on the guitar with the virtuosity and grace of Segovia. Rinzler eventually managed Watson as well as Bill Monroe, the mandolin player and high-and-lonesome tenor who a generation earlier had forged elements of country music, blues and gospel into something new called bluegrass but who had since fallen into impoverished obscurity. It wasn’t for money. To Rinzler such musicians were national treasures.

In 1967 Rinzler joined the Smithsonian with the mandate to create “a living cultural presentation of folk and working class community based culture.” That translated into something revolutionary: the annual no-star-performers Festival of American Folklife on the Mall in Washington. Year after year Rinzler focused attention on artists who had sustained important traditions within their own diverse communities, often while sweating out their livelihoods in factories br fields or kitchens.

Among the artists and artisans at this year’s festival, for instance, were Cape Breton fiddlg^|A Bahamian boat-builders; Cajun musicians; and Thai court dancers. “By presenting these people with pride on the Mall,® Rinzler said once, “it makes them feel they have something of value, and encourages them to keep doing it.” That simple philosophy...granted legitimacy to the radical idea that assimilation and the memory hole are not requirements of American citizenship.

The mandolin - carried to Appalachia by Italian coal miners, transformed by Southern black and white string bands and Yankee instrument engineers into the haunted dybbuk-voK j*f bluegrass - is an appropriate metaphor for how Rinzler saw cultures at once persist and interact. He was a prophetic champion of cultural equality years before the academy discovered multiculturalism.

Our condolences to the family of Alan P. Brummerstedt. From Jake Jacobus: “I was fortunate to have had the opportunity of seeing Alan and sharing the memories we had together 40 years ago. We played competitive and fun tennis together and had time to bridge the years....Alan really never changed; he was still extremely conscientious, friendly, had a wonderful sense of humor and continued to love sports. Looking back, to me, Alan was the “flagship,” the play maker, the most dedicated selfless team player, and the deadly outside shooter on our class’s memorable undefeated 1934 basketball team....”

Jake himself has worked at Smith BarneyShearson for 25 years, “a senior V.P. by title but a customers’ man by trade.” He lives five minutes from the office in Morristown N.J.

Many of us went en masse to visit Mr. Coursen and then dropped in on Miss Renz who lives across the hall. We took turns in Mr. Coursen’s living room giving brief synopses of the past 30 (!) years.

Ellen Bell O’Neill married at 40, has three step kids, 39, 30, and 22. She and her husband travel a great deal with his business. They have two houses, one a few blocks from me in Pa. (when we’re there) and in Rhode Island. Lynn Sanders Pizzirusso is still in Memphis. Her kids are in college and she’s working in marketing. Her sister, Deb Sanders Lewis ’67, was there too. A single parent, she works for an optometrist and also as an emergency room technician.

Carolyn Wilson Ward was up from Florida. , She’s been teaching 8th grade science for three

years. Her daughter’s in the Air Force, older son’s in college; she also has a 13-year-old.

Cathy Krebs Suiter just moved within Vermont.

She’s been in medical research, but is now in education, doing substance abuse prevention. Her kids are away at school.

Linda Brennan Hymans has two kids, her daughter a sophomore at Lehigh. Linda sings at a nursery school (singing and music was a large topic of conversation at Mr. Coursen’s).

Sue Herbert Kyle’s boys are 14 and 16. She’s still enjoying her art research consulting business, and says she and it are doing quite well.

Lynn Ritter Vernon was married 16 years, had a horse and a small animal hospital which was turned into a winery. She’s got stepgrandchildren.

Her oldest daughter’s in law school, the other’s a cosmetologist. Her son’s a senior at Valley Forge

Military Academy. Lynn’s been going to college at night.

Randi White McGinnis is still in Lewisburg.

Three kids are in college and Ariel, she reports, loves being an only child. She works with Bucknell’s Alumni Board, coordinating alumni work with admissions. Nancy Cook works in Agriculture Extension, teaching horticulture in Westchester County.

Toni Dul Wellemeyer is in Silver Spring with a son, 10, the joy of her life. She describes herself as “fat and happy” and indeed she looked radiant and beautiful.

Sally Webb Brown lives in Florida. She’s been remarried for three years. She loves working in a store three days a week, and will be sailing to the Bahamas - “a happy, wonderful life.”

Missy Keyser Sandberg’s kids have moved out.

Her daughter is in Germany, and Missy gets to go there for spells to visit.

Mr. Coursen says he has no complaints: he can get up in the morning and make trouble. His kids are in N.Y. State, Okla., and Colo. He retired from TKS the day of the merger. Miss Renz retired early to care for then-ailing parents.

Some of us are middling fat and intermittently happy. I’m in New Zealand again [FYI - Debby Pines faxed this news. Ed.], just starting a job doing child and adolescent community mental health. It’s summer here and I got myself a wetsuit for Christmas. I live a block from a beach, and just love looking out my windows at the harbor and inactive volcano.

Debby Dickson called from Colorado, not where she’s living, but I didn’t get to speak with her, so I can only report she’s alive. Ask Toni for specifics. Hearsay has it that the Barbara Perry who’s upset the incumbent in Burlington, Vt. is none other than Barbara Doubleday Perry.

Connie Bruck is said to have interviewed Bill twice (Clinton) for The New Yorker. She’s got a new book. Wren Hudson was last seen who knows when in Alaska living without a phone in the boondocks with her husband who was in forestry.

Please send news when I ask for the next issue, for you see I am not above printing printable hearsay. I will be in N Z until July, and would love to have visitors. This is beautiful country and the stopovers in the Pacific islands on the way aren’t bad either. I spent a week in the Cook Islands, having fallen in love with the scenery at the airport on my last trip here. Auckland, where I live (call the Alumni Office for address) is the largest Polynesian city in the world. So come visit; it’s interesting and beautiful.

Connecticut’s Senator Joseph Lieberman asked Karen Vanderhoof-Forschner ’70 to give the nomination speech for his reelection at the Democratic convention in Hartford in July. The speech was carried live on TV. “It was exciting,” reports Karen.

“However, I was too nervous to have fun.”

Karen, founder and chairman of the Lyme Borreliosis Foundation, received MKA’s 1991 Distinguished Alumni Award. She had worked with Sen. Lieberman for six years as he helped with federal grants and introduced bills for Lyme Awareness Week. Karen says it is unusual for a politician to ask “a non­ political crony” to do such a speech, but that the Senator preferred to ask people he had helped or worked with. Note: He was re­ elected with some 85 percent of the vote.

On the Road Again Adapted from an article in The Montclair Times., January 12, 1995.

Antony Brydon ’90 took a year off from Yale and in the process, changed his life.

After his sophomore year, Antony spent five weeks bicycling 2,000 miles from New Haven to Georgia, where he spent three months on a Habitat for Humanity construction crew.

“It was a bit of a revelation,” says Antony whose extracurricular activities at MKA focused on soccer and Mock Trial - “how easy it is to start volunteering.”

“I kept thinking about how incredible the journey down had been, how liberating and empowering. I thought about how many people had extended themselves to me, offering their food or company or a place to sleep,” he says.

Antony also worked five months in London as a research assistant in the House of Commons, but he had a mission when he returned to Yale - “the most wonderful way to spread news of Habitat for Humanity.”

Last summer, he led 10 students on a pioneering three-month, 5,000-mile bicycle trip from New Haven to San Francisco, raising $48,000 to build Habitat homes in New Haven. The group organized mini-bike-a-thons along the way.

Antony is working this semester with a local pro bono group to establish a similar biking tour for New Haven inner-city youth.

This summer Antony will lead 25 cyclists from Washington, D.C. to the west coast, a twomonth, 4,000-mile tour. This time Habitat will provide food and accommodations in churches and community centers along the way so participants don’t have to carry camping equipment. They hope to raise $65,000.

After graduation, Antony will serve two years with the Peace Corps in North Africa. His Bicycle Challenge will continue to hit the road for Habitat for Humanity.

MKA alumni and friends interested in participating in the second H abitat Bicycle Challenge may callAntony Brydon a t203/865-6160. Each rider - and novices are welcome - is expected to raise $2,000 by May 1. The money, plus corporate sponsorships, goes directly to H abitat’s homebuilding projects.
