Previously, he served in enrollmentmanagement positions at Norwalk Community College and Gibbs College in Norwalk, Connecticut, and at Skidmore College Continuing Education and the College of Westchester in New York. After receiving his B.A. in American studies at Trinity, Longcore earned an M.A. in education from Fairfield University and a master of liberal arts degree in management from Harvard University. As a Trinity volunteer, he

President James F. Jones, Jr. says, "Matthew has a deep appreciation of the value of education and of service to the community, as well as extensive personal understanding of Trinity's alumni as one of the College's most important strengths. We are delighted to have Matthew lead our very capable Alumni Relations team in meeting our goals to honor the excellence of our graduates and to foster lifelong relationships with our students and alumni."

The winners from Trinity were Sophia Becker '09, who is in Colombia; Jessica Cote ' 12, who is in Chile; Eliot Fearey 'ro, who is in Germany; and Danielle Padula 'n, who is in Panama. A fifth Trinity student was a finalist and will have an opportunity to reapply.

Longcore says, "I am excited and honored to have been selected to serve in the chief alumni officer role at my alma mater, and I look forward to making a positive contribution in this area. Trinity has a vibrant, talented, and diverse alumni community around the globe, and working to strengthen these school ties and this connectedness will truly be fulfilling and rewarding."

Since its inception in 1946, the Fulbright Program has granted more than 318,ooo participantschosen for their academic merit and leadership potential - the opportunity to study, teach , conduct research, exchange ideas, and contribute to finding solutions to shared international concerns.

STUDYING STUDENT MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT PLANT BIOLOGY The American Society of Plant Biologists (ASPB) Education Foundation has awarded a $26,853 grant to Kathleen Archer, associate professor of biology. The grant will pay for a portion of a project designed to measure how well students understand the key concepts of plant biology. That information in turn can help instructors know what educational reforms are effective and what reforms are not. The catalyst for reform in undergraduate biology education is the proliferation of information that the field has experienced during the past 50 years. "Initially, we could take an introductory textbook and cover it in a semester," says Archer. "But now it takes sometimes two or three semesters. As biology knowledge continues to increase, we are going to have to make decisions about what essential things students should know on which they can build in upper-level courses." This perspective is reflected in a 2009 report called Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education: A Call to Action, which was sponsored by the American Association for Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) , with contributions from the Howard Hughes Medical

Institute (HHMI) . Although the report was one of several that pushed for reform of introductory biology instruction, Archer says that Vision and Change was the most articulate in laying out what steps need to be taken. "It says we are spending too much time trying to have students learn facts and not enough time teaching them how to be scientists, and it asks that we focus on big-picture ideas of how knowledge is acquired." Archer is working with co- investigators Maryann Herman, assistant professor of biology at St. John Fisher College in New York; Grace Ju Miller, associate professor of biology at Indiana Wesleyan University; Laura Olsen, professor of biology at the University of Michigan; and Jodie Itarnsay, associate professor of biology at Northern State University in South Dakota. Archer developed the grant proposal in partnership with her

co- investigators whom she met in 20 I I after she delivered a lecture at the ASPB annual meeting. Together, they are working on creating a concept assessment, a collection of questions that can

universally evaluate what students know in a particular area of study. Once they are assembled, Archer says, "they can help us reform the way we teach undergraduate biology."

$902,000 NSF GRANT FOR COMPUTER EDUCATION Computer Science Professor Ralph Morelli has been awarded a $902,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to promote the use of a mobile computer science principles curriculum (Mobile CSP) in Connecticut public schools. Starting first in Hartford, high school teachers will be trained to teach computer science courses in schools that don't currently offer them. Students in the Hartford public school system are currently not given the opportunity to study computer science. The program marks a unique collaboration between Trinity, the Hartford Public School System, the Connecticut Chapter of the Computer Science Teachers Association, and Hartford -area high schools. The project will expand to other Connecticut cities and towns, and it is estimated that between 300 and 6oo students will be involved. The grant runs through the end of 2015. The Mobile CSP will use a new computing language, App Inventor for Android, to provide a rigorous, programmingbased introduction to computational thinking. Inventor for Android was created by Hal Abelson of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with the goal of making smart phone programming

accessible to everyone. The student projects will focus on building socially useful, place-based mobile apps. Morelli, who is spending a sabbatical leave at MIT, is in the process of developing teaching resources and the curriculum for the project. A member of Trinity's faculty since 1985, Morelli says computer science is a good discipline for high schools students to acquire because "it teaches them to think logically and abstractly and to break down problems into parts and solve them." This project builds on Trinity's Humanitarian Free and Open Source Software (HFOSS) initiative, which, since 2007, has been engaging undergraduate students at Trinity and other schools in building free software for socially beneficial applications.

VOLUHTEER SPOTLIGHT

Charles Wallace II '92 President, Black Alumni Organization By Brianna Diaz Charles Wallace II '92 recognizes that alumni volunteerism is a two-way street. While donating time and money provides institutional support for the College, volunteering can also provide avenues for personal fulfillment and growth for the volunteer; or, as he puts it simply: "It helps the school and it helps our brand as Trinity alums." This philosophy informs ways that Wallace approaches his roles with Trinity's Black Alumni Organization (BAO) and National Alumni Association (NAA). Through his involvement in these groups. he strives to create opportuni ties for more alumni to participate in this mutually beneficial exchange. Before he began formally volunteering with the College, Wallace, who majored in English and recei ved an M .B.A. from the University of Chicago, enjoyed getting together with fellow Trinity alumni at area events in New York City His consistent activity lead to a greater appreciation of the value of the Trinity network, and he soon decided to push his involvement with the College to the next level.

TRINITY REPORTER

winter 13

As president of the BAO, Wallace is working to expand the accessibility of resources to Trinity alums by coordinating new events that are designed to promote career development. He points out that, even if a person has been in the workforce for a while, it is still important to network and learn from successful peers. Just as crucial to Wallace is setting an example for current students. "It is important that students can also tap into the alumni network early on so that when they graduate they are aware of the wealth of resources available to them and the expectation of giving back," he said. [n 2012. Wallace worked closely with Trinity's Alumni Office to create a new BAO -sponsored event that invites prominent black alumni

back to Hartford for the purpose of sharing their stories of career success and how Trinity resources helped them with current students and fellow alumni. In October of this past year, Frank Borges '74- a former Connecticut state treasurer who also served as deputy mayo r of the City of Hartford and legal counsel for The Travelers Insurance Company- led the first of these events, which took place in Hamlin Hall on the Trinity campus. In addition to the career development series, the BAO sponsored a second new event in 2012: a Black History Month lecture that took place in New York City and featured Robert Stepto '66, professor of English. African American studies, and American srudies at Yale University. Wallace is optimistic that these networking

and lecture events can serve as models for what is possible throughout the alumni network, and he is interested in expanding the number of BAO -affiliated programs in regions with large populations of Trinity alumni. He also hopes to foster interaction between BAO and other NAA groups and their respected constituents. "We welcome all alums, and we are completely open to working with other groups and sharing resources that benefit the entire Trinity community." said Wallace. Established in 1993, the Trinity College Black Alumni Organization is a subset of the National Alumni Association that is open to all black alumni, faculty, and administrative staff of the College as well as others affiliated with Trinity who support the work of the association. Its purpose is to enhance the undergraduate experience for black students, to establish a closer, more active relationship between the College and its black alumni, and to provide alumni programs of special interest to black alumni.

That 1999 trip, Epps's first overseas, was the beginning of a series of travels and explorations that has taken her all over the globe to teach law, monitor international legal proceedings, and see how the law intersects with the cultures in which it is practiced. By 2008, when she assumed the deanship of the law school, Epps had helped train Sudanese lawyers representing victims of the DarfUr crisis, taught jury trial advocacy

to over 20,000 members of the Japanese Bar Association, joined other international law faculty in teaching advocacy skills to prosecutors at the United Nation's ICTR (International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda) in Tanzania, and taught courses in advocacy to Chinese lawyers enrolled in Temple's "rule of law" graduate program and to lawyers from the Beijing Supreme People's Procuratorate (the Chinese prosecutor's office) .

professionals. Although she says that she had never seen herself as an academic, her legal practice often included teaching others, and encouragement from peers led her to think about a career in legal education. In 1985 she began her academic career at Temple, teaching courses in criminal law, criminal procedure, evidence, and trial advocacy She sti ll offers a class in litigation basics to first-year students every fall. "It's important for me to get to know our students," she says. "Alld I believe that leaders of institutions should know what the people around them are thinking and doing."

"We were lowe r middle class," she says of her growing-up years, "never hungry and always loved, but we never took a vacation. Neither of my parents went to college there was only one college grad uate in the family My mother always told me the story of wanting be a doctor, but having her high school counselor literally laugh at the idea of a black girl 's going to medical school. So she encouraged me to dream big." Although Epps knew that college was in her future, she didn't know that the school might be Trinity until she got a calJ from a Trinity student who had

"For whatever reason," she says, "he had decided that I was just the sort of young woman who should be in Trinity's first co-educational class, and he offered to bring me up to visit the school on hi s way back there from spring break." Epps liked what she saw during that visit and, the fo ll owing fall , she was a Trinity freshman . It was her first time away from her family, and it was a time of turmoil on the Trinity campus. "When I got there," she says, "I saw big signs saying 'co-eds go home.' My dad told me that he would come to rescue me any time. But 1 stayed and survived and flourished . That time is among my fondest memories. I was deeply influenced by my years at Trinity, learning to figure out who I wanted to be. Trinity showed me the

After Yale law School, and before coming to teach at Temple, Epps spe nt four years as a deputy city attorney for the City of los Angeles and then another five as assistant U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Pe nnsylvania. "J loved legal practice," she says. "Be ing a trial lawyer combines intense attention to detail with creativity. ln one sense, it's all about yo u because your personality is in it- no two people will try a case exactly the same. But what's most important is that law is a service profession- you are always serving your client. That's been the gu iding principle of my career." To make changes in the world ow, Epps serves an institution whose mission is to train the next generation oflegal

Under her leadership, in turn, Temple serves both its students and the larger community. Epps notes that while part of her job is being a CEO - running an enterprise with a $40 miLlion budget- her priority is delivering a high-quality ed ucation and "maximizing the opportunities for greatness" for the school 's students and faculty At the same time, she says, "This institution should be cen tered in what is happening in the larger world." She notes that the school is deeply involved in a number of initiatives focusing on the city of Philadelphia, including launching a Ce nter for Social Justice. The center will partner with the city's public-interest entities to pursue legal and policy responses to a range of social justice concerns. "My vision for everything we do at Temple," she says, "is based on both 'how

will this help our students>' and 'how will this make an impact beyond our walls?"' Epps has been deeply involved in social justice issues throughout her professional life, starting with her Yale law School days, when she was a national officer in the Black law Students' Association, and continuing to the present with her work in helping some of the world's most war-torn regions to embrace the rule of law. In her community, Epps's activities have included chairing the Mayor's Task Force on Police Discipline, serving as an outside monitor of Philadelphia's compliance with a settlement over stop-and -frisk procedures, and service as a member of panels that included the Pennsylvania Commission for Justice Initiatives, the Pennsylvania Women's Forum, the Advisory Council for the Pennsylvania Prison Society, and the Pro Bono Task Force of The legal Services Corporation. "''ve always looked to be involved with organizations whose beneficiaries may need others to help speak for them," she says. Epps is the author or co-author of numerous academic publications, focusing particularly on evidence, procedure, and advocacy She is in demand as a speaker locally and nationally; including having testified at the Senate hearings on the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to be associate justice of the United States Supreme Court. She has received dozens of honors, including being named a Distinguished Daughter of Pennsylvania, being cited as one of the most IOO influential black lawyers in the U.S., receiving the Sandra Day O'Connor Award from the Philadelphia Bar Association, and receiving the Wiley Branton Award from the National Bar Association for "demonstrating leadership on the cutting edge of law for civil, social and economic justice." Trinity honored her with the Alumni Service Award in 1998 and recognition in 2009 for career achievements in law. With all her accomplishments, Epps refers to herself as "a pretty ordinary servant" who is keenly aware both of progress made and work still to be done. ''I've achieved more than I could ever have dreamed of, and met wonderful people, some famous, many not," she says.

They are arranged chronologically and represent almost every phase of Matisse's career and argue definitively for the primacy of serial production in his art. Although other early20th -century artists, such as Picasso, frequently repeated subjects and motifs, only Matisse in this period used his paired and serial paintings as part of an intensely analytical practice to illuminate the potentials- and perilsinherent in his new art. At times, as in the increasingly reductive views he painted in 1920 of the beach at l'Etretat, France, Matisse's provocative, modernist take on a subject long favored by French painters left some of his critics aghast.

Great poets are articulating something that is very difficult to articulate.

Harriet Beecher Stowe was not a member of antislavery organizations in the 1830s and 1840s. She opposed slavery, and was enraged by the fugitive slave law, but she wasn't an activist. "She wasn't an abolitionist. She was a writer. She wrote for money . .. to help the household and because she loved doing it and it came easily to her," said Trinity College Prof. Joan Hedrick.

So it must have come as quite a surprise in 1852 when "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was published and Stowe suddenly became the most famous abolitionist in the country Her fame increased when it was adapted into a stage play, which delivered the humanitarian message to people who could not read. "Frederick Douglass acknowledged the power of Uncle Toms Cabin and how much good it did in changing people's consciousness .. ..

"Most of the class period, there is someone giggling about something he has said." â&#x20AC;˘ Not just a funny guy; though, Geiss, associate professor of physics and environmental science, "has a knack for pushing students to their fullest potential," says Jonathan Gourley; a lecturer and lab coordinator in the Environmental Science Program and a frequent collaborator with Geiss. â&#x20AC;˘ On Thursday; October 18, The Reporter spent the day with Geiss.

Geiss pedals nis ancient mountain bike to campus. The trip takes about 20 minutes. "It's the conservationist's way to get from point A to point B." He grew up in Freising, Germany, a small town near Munich and home to the oldest brewery in the world, a fact he is quick to point out. After finishing secondary school, he enrolled at Ludwig Maximilians Universitat, where he was literally bowled over by geophysics. On his way to his first advising meeting, Geiss stepped into an elevator and was "run over with a cart full of rocks." The cart was pushed by the chair of the university's geophysics department. Geiss was unhurt, but the incident piqued his interest in geophysics. Within five years, he had a master's in the subject. He earned his Ph.D. in geophysics from the University of Minnesota in 1999 and began teaching at Trinity in 2001 8:35a.m.

Geiss is planning for his "Introduction to Earth Science" class (E VS 112), which will take place in a few hours. He enjoys teaching nonscience majors, he says. "It's a challenge. They're often deadly afraid of science and scientists." Since his class may be the only science course these students take at Trinity, Geiss wants to leave them with a good impression, and he wants them to learn something.

"He makes the material very accessible and easy to understand," says Jeremy Rees '14, an economics and math major who is taking "The Earth's Climate" (ENVS - II2L) with Geiss to fulfill his science requirement. 10:00a.m.

It's time to pick up a minivan from the College's facilities management office for this afternoon's field trip. Geiss is taking his soil science class (ENVS 305) to visit several spots in the Connecticut River valley. He loves field trips. In addition to local excursions, he's taken students to southern Utah and Iceland. The main purpose of the trips is to expose students to different environments and landscapes, he says, and to explore "the ways humans fit into those landscapes." On a recent trip to Iceland, Geiss took his group, including President Jones and members of his famil y, on a five -day overnight 1-tik.e. "On the trips, students entertain us with nightly campfire talks based on their work throughout the semester," he says. (Iceland slideshow: youtube.comj trinitycollegect) Colby Tucker '09, a science teacher at the Pomfret School, accompanied Geiss on three of these trips, two to Iceland (2008 and 2010) and one to Utah (2007) . "I always wanted to hike with him so I could ask questions when we stumbled upon something interesting," he says. Tucker says he is a teacher

today because of Geiss's example. "I aspire to do with my students what he did with me." 10:50 a.m.

Today's lesson is on paleomagnetism, the magnetic properties of soils and sediments, and how it helped initiate a paradigm shift to establish plate tectonics as the leading theory in geology. Heady stuff. especially for non-scientists, but Geiss's lively teaching style has the class enthralled. "There is nothing worse than 20 kids giving you that 'look' that says, 'Professor, I would rather be anywhere than in your class.' I avoid that look at all costs. It's important to live it up a little, ja?" Geiss retains traces of a German accent and that well-placed "ja" frequently punctuates nis comments.

12:15 p.m.

Geiss is planning this afternoon's field trip with Kip Kolesinskas, a conservation scientist with the Connecticut Farmland Trust who will lead the trip. Simon Bunyon '13, a student in Geiss's soil science class, joins them for lunch . 12:45 p.m.

Geiss is at the wheel of the van, driving Kolesinskas and students Bunyon, Renee Swetz '14, Billy Watts '13, and Daniel Chow '13 to Dinosaur State Park in Rocky Hill. The purpose of the trip is for the students to get a first-hand look at various Connecticut soils and explore the relationship between these soils and agriculture.

The group then takes a ferry- the oldest continuously running ferry in the countryacross the Connecticut River from Rocky Hill to Glastonbury to examine floodplain soils. At Belltown Orchard, the students learn about the unique geological and climatic conditions that make this region so well suited for orchards. At the end of the trip, everyone enjoys freshly baked apple cider donuts. "These trips can be deep and philosophical, but we also have a lot of fun," says Geiss between bites. 4:10p.m.

Geiss heads home to join his veterinarian wife and two sons, ages six and eight, for dinner. Some nights, Geiss takes his children to Williams Rink in Trinity's Koeppel Community Sports Center to watch the women's ice hockey team . He is the faculty liaison to the women's ice hockey and tennis teams, and he and his sons attend as many games and matches as they can. "He is by far our numberone fan , along with his two sons," says Kleidon, an ice hockey player. "He will sit on our bench and cheer on our practices, and before games he is sure to be there to get us pumped up." 7:30p.m.

The boys are in bed, and Geiss heads back to Trinity. He's working on research in the lab, running soil samples for a colleague from Mexico. On Wednesdays and

Fridays, he leaves campus early to take care of his children. "So I make it up on Thursdays." His current research projects include investigating the carbon budget in the Arctic wetlands and determining erosion and soil formation rates in the Midwest. A good deal of the earth's readily accessible carbon is stored in wetlands and soils, he explains. With collaborators from Bowdoin and St. Olaf College, Geiss is trying to uncover how these carbon reservoirs react to, and influence, our changing climate. Each semester, he also supervises up to five or six research students. 10:00 p.m.

After a long day, Geiss is finally ready to go home. With a full schedule of teaching. writing, and research, he has little time for hobbies. He loves photography, though, and brings his camera on all his field trips, as well as to most of the women's tennis matches and ice hockey games. Many of the women's ice hockey photos on the Trinity Web site were taken by him. Despite the hour, he is cheerful. "I like what I do," Geiss explains "I never have to drag mysel f to work."

Nuts and bolts

experiencing the Trinity of the 2Ist century, as it has expanded, changed, and diversified continually over nearly 200 years. The Class of 2018 will find a Trinity that has embraced a new organizational structure for residential and student life: the Trinity House System. Proposed by the Charter Committee for Building Social Community at Trinity College (a

Each of the six houses is a living/ learning community that will include about 375 students (about 95 from each of the four classes) , and each will have its own dean and an associated faculty member. According to the Charter Committee's report: "(Association) with a house would begin with first-year housing and carry through four years as one of the primary centers of a student's experience .... These groups, designed for manageable size ... would give every student an automatic affiliation with a representative group of fellow students, help organize the way the College provides services and support ...and increase the opportunities and expectations for students to be engaged in and contribute to the vibrancy of campus life." The plan calls for students to live in a residence hall associated with a particular house for their first two years at Trinity. They will then be free to live in whatever housing they choose for the junior and se nior years, while maintaining affiliation with the original house. In keeping with the idea that the houses will be centers of intellectual as well as social life, entering students will choose first-

year seminars as they do now and will be assigned to houses based on the seminars they choose. Each house will have a mix of seminars from different disciplines - one way of ensuring diversity within house populati ons. Frederick Alford, dean of students, notes two interconnected ways to think about the implementation of the House System. The first involves the physical placement of students into living spaces. Trustee and committee member Co rnelia Parsons Thornburgh 'So says that, while decisions are still being made about how best to use and adjust the physical plant, " Ultimately, once the House System is fully in place, campus planning will revolve around the houses." The other aspect of implementing the House System, Alford says, "is understanding it as a new approach to organizing the College and its exis ting resources."

House deans and faculty affiliations Among the organizational changes will be the creation of a dean's office for each house. Students will maintain relationships with the same dean for their entire time at Trinity Deans will track academic progress, handle routine disciplinary matters, act as primary contacts with families, and serve as advocates and mentors for the students in their houses. Working closely with each house dean will be a senior faculty member,

who will serve for a threeyear term and continue to teach. According to the report, "The senior faculty member would be responsible for setting the tone of community life, leading bi -weekly house meetings, attending house dinners, and creating frequent and varied forms of interaction (among) students and faculty " Thornburgh notes that "faculty will be full partners in the House System, expanding opportunities for intellectual stimulation beyond the classroom." Faculty teaching firstyear seminars will also be affiliated with the houses in which the students they teach and advise are li ving. "But beyo nd that," Alford says, "we expect that both the senior faculty members and those teaching the first-year seminars will draw upon faculty and staff colleagues to create and participate in house activities."

Systemic shifts According to Alford, the House System will both take over certain existing systems, and function as a support mechanism for some larger College systems. "For instance," he says, "course registration will always be a Collegewide system. But we could have house-based sessions on how the registration process works, how to plan programs of study, or how to select majors." Areas where the House System is likel y to become the locus of student life include program funding, academic support, and governance. Houses could become the basis for electing Student TRINITYREPORTER

BUILDING COMMUNITY

Government Association (SGA) representation, with funds through the SGA helping to support programming developed and run by the houses. In addition, each house will have its own leadership structure, providing opportunities for students to serve in executive capacities, manage budgets, and organize service, social, and intramural programs. Houses might have programming committees, involving faculty, students, and staff in developing activities that fuse social and intellectual life. Houses could become the mechanism for teaching and upholding the College Integrity Contract and electing representatives to the Honor Council. Alford says, "Imagine if a house hosted a discussion on the importance of honor within a community and

then had nominees for the Honor Council present their views at the house meeting preceding the election process. These sorts of activities can transform an abstract concept like honor to something immediate and fundamental to the life of the individual and the house and College communities." Effective communities don't interact solely on Facebook or e- mail; the House System will enable house members to meet in person. At weekly meals and biweekly meetings, houses would conduct business, address problems, and celebrate members' accomplishments. Houses could sponsor game nights, lecture series, arts events, and parties. Houses will field teams, and inter-house competitions will become a staple of the intramural and recreational programs. Each house could develop its own traditions and could build up the means to support

that our approach will be to invite everyone to join."

What stays the same

Underneath these specific changes, Alford says, is an overall shift in perspective. "Whether we are talking about organizing parking, getting out messages to students about health concerns, deciding what kinds of athletic facilities to invest in, or making hiring decisions, every committee and every office will be thinking about how possible courses of action can reinforce the House System."

While the House System will have an impact on most areas of College life, Thornburgh emphasizes that it is not meant to replace other longstanding and cherished structures, such as the fraternities and sororities or the cultural and theme houses. "Rather," she says, "establishing this system is part of a comprehensive plan to build community at Trinity. We want to take the positive experiences that so many of our students have, and build a system that will increase the likelihood that all of our students will be able to get the most out of their time here."

Alford notes also that a mechanism for integrating upperclass students into the House System in 2014 is within the purview of the implementation committee. "Given that the system's purpose is to unite the community," he says, "I would anticipate

Alford adds, "We're throwing the implementation process wide open to students, faculty, staff. and alumni. While the underlying concept is in place, there is still plenty of opportunity for discussion of what the House System can be."

At its October meeting, the Board of Trustees unani mously voted to approve the recommendations of the Charter Committee for Building Social Com munity at Trinity College. After a fact- finding process that involved input from a broad spectrum of campus interests, the Committee's conclusions are designed to retain and strengthen those aspects of our community that position Trinity as a nationally respected leader among liberal arts colleges. The intention of

these actions is to create a student-centered com munity of scholars who are fu!Jy engaged, both socially and inte!Jectually, inside and outside the classroom. To that end, the Board of Trustees has endorsed the following six Committee initiatives:

â&#x20AC;˘ Develop a House System that will provide a new residential, inte!Jectual, and social center to our students' lives and shape our students' sense of identity within the Col-

lege. Our residence halls will be clustered around six Houses, each led by a designated House Dean and an Academic Adviser. These houses will be small, comprising 375 students each, and students will remain affiliated with their Houses throughout their Trinity years. The House experience will feature regular shared dining opportunities and specific programming such as lectures, special speakers, and extra-curricular events; • Strengthen the first-year experience by extending

orientation, expanding pre-orientation ~est type programs, and adding rigor and discernment as each student undertakes his or her intellectual journey at Trinity; • Improve the quality and quantity of social spaces by

opening a reconfigured and refurbished Vernon Social Center with new hours of operation and purposes that appeal to students and faculty alike; investing in better lounges for each of the new Houses; and designating other College properties for social spaces based on the organic input of students themselves; • Institute a clear and transparent Social Code that

outlines the standards, principles, and expecta-

tions of the College and provides directives for appropriate behavior among our students. A designated committee will oversee the implementation of this Social Code and diligently monitor and support those social organizations that function with a defined membership comprised predominantly of Trinity students, that involve initiation activities, andj or that occupy real estate. New G PA standards, community service requirements, and the Trustee amendment to abolish pledging are principal features. Failure of an organization to abide by all aspects of the Social Code will result in the inability of that organization to continue to operate; • Restore staff positions and program funding cut over

the last decade in order to support the new House System, oversee the new Social Code, and create vibrant cultural and social options for the campus community; • Reinvigorate the co-education mandate, initially approved

by the Board of Trustees in 1992, to ensure that all social organizations with access to facilities, and particularly the fraterni ties and sororities, have gender parity

AN UNDERUTILIZED BUILDING BECOMES A NEW CENTER OF CAMPUS SOCIAL LIFE Trinity College Vernon Social-Gallery Lounge

An important cornerstone of the plan to build community at Trinity is the transformation of the former Vernon Social Center into a hub for student life and improved faculty-student interaction. Work will begin during the second semester to create a dynamic, welcoming, and flexible space that will attract a diversity of students throughout the day and evening. The main part of the building will be completely renovated and refurbished to provide a space where members of the campus community can grab a deli sandwich, linger over their laptops, warm themselves around an outdoor fire pit, listen to music, or just hang out. The new center is expected to open in August of this year.

"Students have expressed the need for a neutral social space that unites the campus and [where] every student feels welcome to visit at any time, day or night," said a report issued in October by the C harter Committee for Building Social Community at Trinity College, which was composed of trustees, faculty, administrators, and students. "Vernon Social is positioned in an ideal location to 6.11 this need - in the heart of Vernon Street- however, its current configuration is not. We seek to transform Vernon Social into a vibrant hub for student life."

"Faculty are already advising students about careers, and individual faculty members in all disciplines connect current students with alumni on an ad hoc basis. One goal of the council is to create a more systematic way of linking current students and recent graduates to alumni who are already established in their fields and professions. This kind of personal networking enhances career decisionmaking and enriches alumni relationships across generations of Trinity graduates." Work currently under way is being documented by the faculty advisory committee in a department-bydepartment inventory that will be available to students via the Career Development Center. "When you look at what's being done already, you quickly find some really exciting things," says Chambers. "Faculty members assist students in finding internships. They have strong connections to alumni who can help students network, and

many of our alumni are doing amazing things to help students with their careers. The fact is, we've been doing a lot of this on our own for many years. The role of the council is to assess what's being done, streamline our work as faculty, staff in career development, and our alumni base." The array of services being provided by faculty is quite remarkable. For instance, Mitchell Polin, associate professor of theater and dance, has spearheaded the identification of some 200 alumni and how and where they work in the field. This effort is helping students connect with potentially helpful professionals. Carol Clark, associate professor of economics, leads the College's Community Learning Initiative Program and research colloquium, working with faculty advisers to design and carry out experiential creditbearing research or creative projects in partnership with community members and organizations in the Hartford area. And William Church, associate professor of chemistry and neuroscience, chairs the College's Health Professions Advisory Committee, which regularly holds meetings to help faculty stay abreast of rapidly evolving changes in the nation's healthcare delivery system and their implications for students interested in health -related careers. "There's a lot of work to be done," says Chambers, "and we're making progress."

New Townhouse-S!Yie Residence Halls on Crescent Street

The $25-million project will mark the first of two phases that will eventually result in a total of five new townhouse buildings and more than 340 beds in suite-style layouts. The second phase is expected to begin in June 2013-

Trinity College and a New York developer are partnering to build three new residence halls for upperclass students, which are expected to be completed by the start of the 2013 -2014 academic year.

Phase two of the project will include between 7,500 and IO,ooo square feet of new retail space on New Britain Avenue. ''As far as the community goes, this will be of great economic benefit," says Vice President for Finance and Operations Paul Mutone. "The concept of the project, with its retail space, is to not only serve Trinity students but local residents, as well." A Hartford Police Department substation, to be located in a building owned by the College, is also planned for the nearby corner of New

Britain Avenue and Broad Street. Trinity's partner is Kirchhoff Campus Properties of Pleasant Valley. New York, whose related construction firm worked on the $33-million renovation and restoration of the historic Long Walk buildings (Seabury and Jarvis halls and Northam Towers) and has been involved in projects at Vassar College, Marist College, and Mt. Saint Mary College, among others. The architect is EYP Architecture and Engineering P.C. of Albany, New York, which has extensive experience in designing higher education buildings. Kirchhoff will own and finance the project, but Trinity will manage the property. The land is owned by the College and will be leased to the developer.

The students who live there will be subject to all College rules, regulations, and policies, Mutone says. Residential supervisors will live on site. Each of the suites will have a kitchen, dining room, washing machine and dryer, and si ngle bedrooms. The buildings will be airconditioned and have wireless connectivity The energy-efficient, threestory townhouses, built to LEED Gold standards, will be brick, shingle and metal , and will be handicapped accessible. The new facility will replace existing housing stock and is not intended to support an increase in the College's enrollment, which now stands at 2,II6 undergraduates, about 90 percent of whom live on campus.

Tibetan nuns create a sand mandala at Trinity by Rhea Hirshman

Long-standing Trinity connection

On a cloudy, mild Saturday afternoon in mid- October, anyone walking near the Charter Oak landing at the Connecticut River would have seen the unusual sight of a contingent of six Tibetan Buddhist nuns in full ritual regalia. In the company of students, faculty, staff and friends of Trinity, as well as a group of Tibetans from New York City, the nuns were performing the final part of an ancient ritual . Having spent the better part of their six-week stay at Trinity creating a mandala, a sacred sand construction representing the palace of the Buddhist deity of compassion, the nuns had ceremoniously dismantled it that morning and were now pouring the brightly-colored sand into the river- taking the spiritual power of the mandala and offering it back to the earth.

The connection between Trinity and the nuns, whose home is the Keydong Thuk- CheCho- Ling Nunnery in Kathmandu, Nepal, dates back to 1998, when Trinity faculty members Judy Dworin and Ellison Findly, and alumna Melissa Kerin '94, collaborated to bring a group of the nuns to campus. Kerin's involvement with the nunnery began when she lived there during her junior year, participating in the nuns' daily lives and immersing herself in Buddhist practice. A fellowship took her back tl1ere after graduation and, in 1996, she returned to Trinity to present a paper on her experiences at a conference called Revoicing the Feminine Sacred, organized by Dworin, a professor of theater and dance, and Findly, a professor of religion and international studies who herself engages

in Buddhist practice. At that conference, Dworin recalls, ''A woman in the audience, in response to Melissa's presentation, suggested, 'Why don't we bring the nuns here,' and we decided to give it a try" Two years later, Kerin was again traveling to Nepal, this time to accompany the Keydong nuns on their first trip to Trinity, where the y became the first Buddhist nuns to create a sand mandala in the United States. Their presence sparked numerous mandalainspired activities, including a performance piece called wheel, choreographed by Dworin, and connections with a local elementary school, whose students developed a performance piece of their own. After their time at Trinity, the nuns were invited to Brandeis University, where his holiness Tenzin Gyatso, TRINITY REPORTER

the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet, was receiving an honorary degree, and where the nuns created another mandala. "For the first time," Fimily says, "the Dalai Lama, who had given his blessing to the nuns' endeavors, oversaw the dismantling of a mandala that had been created by women. Dworin remained in close contact with Ani gawang Tendol, who serves as the group's leader and interpreter. ("Ani" is the honorific prefix used before a nun's name in Tibetan Buddhism.) Nuns from Keydong returned to Trinity to create another mandala during a shorter stay in 2005. Then, last year, Dworin and coorganizer James Latzel, noting that seven years had passed, thought that this would be a good time to have the nuns here again. The nuns' story

The Keydong nuns' own long journey to a safe home began in 1959, when China occupied Tibet, the Dalai Lama fled, and many Tibetanssoughtrefugein Nepal and India. Among the refugees was a small group of women monastics from Tibet's southwestern Keydong region. The nuns first settled in a epalese border village, moving to Kathmandu in 1980 and then traveling throughout epal and India seeking donations to purchase land and a smalJ house. The nunnery has grown, becoming a center of education and spiritual practice for approximately 130 nuns from India, Nepal, and Tibet. Kerin notes that the Keydong nuns are "part of a sea

change- but a gradual one- in Buddhist monasticism ." While the primary focus of Tibetan Buddhist nunneries has traditionally been performing prayer ceremonies for the world and cultivating contemplative practices, the Keydong nunnery is one of the first to develop an educational program that includes Tibetan debate, T ibetan language, Tibetan ritual arts, English, mathematics, health, and traditional Tibetan medicine. The nuns sometimes tend the sick and may also do community organizing, advocating for better conditions and services for people in their neighborhood. In addition, the Keydong nuns have been pursuing higher Tibetan religious education, including learning sand mandala creation, a practice involving scriptural knowledge, meditation, and the development of specific techniques. Reserved for centuries to highly-educated male monastics, mandala creation, says Kerin, an assistant professor of art history at Washington and Lee University, "is one of the most meritorious activities that one can undertake in the Tibetan Buddhist world," and one available now to women in large part because of the support of the Dalai Lama. "In the past," she adds, "nuns were not oriented toward studying the scriptures, but more toward devotional practice . But the scriptures never actually stated that nuns were not allowed to make sand mandalas."

Mandala as meditation

Each mandala is an act of meditation at the same time that it is an extraordinary work of art, a celestial palace with complex and beautiful architecture supporting a wealth of symbols. "If the mandala is done correctly," Kerin says, "the deity takes up residence along with its entire retinue. Creating the mandala means creating opportunity for sentient beings to experience the divine presence. Garmany Hall,where the nuns worked, was open to the Trinity community and the public six days each week. While the nuns were in residence, the campus hosted related activities, including a keynote address by Kerin entitled "Tradition Changing Women, Women Changing Tradition: The Interface of Tibetan Nuns and the Sacred Art of Sand Mandala Making." Trinity classes visited, as well as students from throughout the region, community groups, and thousands of individuals. "The impact of the mandala on the campus was palpable," Dworin says. "The work of creating the mandala is an example of sacred ritual that becomes unintended performance by the fact that people witness it." As Alanna Lynch '14, one of Dworin's students, wrote: "This idea, the interconnectivity of the particles that make up the universe, is part of the reason the mandala is so moving for me. It is the representation of the beauty of bringing those particles together. To create something so

beautiful from dust, from nothing, fills me with a sense of wonder." Inherent in the creation of the mandala and essential to its message is the knowledge of its own inevitable transformation, done with the same attention to ritual detail. Findly describes the process as "de-sacralizing": removing the sand in a specific way, cutting through the mandala in each of the four primary directions and the midpoints, and sweeping the sand into jars and chanting and circumambulating the site of the mandala. "The main jar is wrapped in brocade," she explains, "much as a dead body would be in Tibetan Buddhist tradition." Then it's on to the nearest river where the sand's bright colors, now transmogrified into a neutral gray, become part of the water's flow. "Buddhism teaches us that the world is transitory, and we suffer when we are attached to transitory things" Findly says. "We become attached to the process and the beauty of the mandala itself, and are sad when we see this beautiful creation being undone. What the mandala tells us is that we can care and have compassion, but cannot possess and cling to. Dworin adds, "There is also something beautiful about the final ritual, reminding us of the cyclical nature oflife. The mandala is gone - but who knows where the energy of that sand may turn up again~"

_ _____.f\L..____ _ LEARNING FROM SECONDARY CITIES NEW BOOK ON GLOBAL URBANISM INCLUDES RESEARCH BY TRINITY FACULTY AND STUDENTS

by jim H. Smith In the autumn of 2007, Xiangming Chen arrived at Trinity to become the founding dean and director of the College's Center for Urban and Global Studies (CUGS) , which began that year thanks to a major donation from the Andrew W Mellon Foundation. Chen brought with him strong credentials- a distinguished 18 -year career at the University of Illinois at Chicago and an impressive body of scholarship. He was precisely the sort of leader that the new center, the first of its type at a top liberal arts college in the United States, required.

Hartford

CUGS is at the epicenter of Trinity's strategic mission to integrate urban and global education in Hartford and globally. And Chen wasted no time tackling that mission. In ovember 2008, he convened the new center's first major conference. It was a twoday program that drew speakers, panelists and participants from all over the region, including 13 prominent scholars from Harvard, Brown, MIT, Yale, and other major universities, plus a large, interdisciplinary contingent of Trinity faculty. "The Center plays the central role in promoting

Trinity's new strategic initiative of integrated urban and global teaching, research, and engagement on campus, in Hartford, and globally;" Chen wrote in the introduction to the compendium of scholarly papers that were presented at the event. "By organizing this conference and bringing a number of yo u to campus, the Center is reaching out to develop exchanges and cooperation with scholars and institutions, especially those in the greater ew England region that may share a broad research interest in urban and global studies."

He was doing more than that, however. The collective focus of the conference- Rethinking Cities and Communities: Urban Transition Bifore and During the Era of Globalization- signaled Chen's determination that the center would lead, rather than follow, in defining new and innovative ways of thinking about the role of cities in the future of the planet. And the subjects of many of the papers, inspired by that focus, spoke volumes about his vision for the new center, which seeks to balance Trinity's commitment to international learning opportunities with the

College's commitment to employing Hartford and the region as an experiential learning laboratory Now, four years later, a book- Rethinking Global Urbanism: Comparative Insights from Secondary Cities- has emerged from that seminal conference. Edited by Chen and Ahmed Kanna, assistant professor in the School of International Studies at the University of the Pacific, the book's I2 chapters are expanded from papers presented at the 2008 conference

ever before," asserts Chen, "but scholars often do not explore the importance of cities beyo nd a handfi.J of mega- metropolises. This is a narrow- minded and short-sighted view of the interconnected world of cities. Many secondary cities are playing increasingly stronger roles in the global economy than many people might imagine. They deserve more focused scholarship."

The importance of secondary cities Not surprisingly, some papers presented at the conference focused on issues related to the Connecticut River Valley and the historic impact of economic change on Springfield and Hartford. But several papers ranged far abroad, tackling such diverse subject matter as social accountability systems in African cities; the intersection of global politics and community politics in San Francisco's Chinatown during World War I I and the Cold War; the struggle of Black women for land rights in BraziJian cities; and the community-based nature of women's activism in response to global economic and political change.

This innovative reimagining of the planet's metropolitan networks reflects "a coming of age within the recent proliferation of comparative urban studies," wrote Tim Bunnell, associate professor of geography at the ational University of Singapore, and James D. Sidaway, professor of political geography at the same institution, in the preface to the book. They added that "...the scholarship assembled in [the book] engages with the global dimensions of the cities in ways which extend beyond the elite, top-down and advanced service and financial sector networks that have predominated in the world cities literature. As such, we believe [it] will inspire others to participate in the exciting challenge of remapping the contours of what it means to be urban in the twenty-first century"

Those themes are explored in depth in Rethinking Global Urbanism. "Today cities play a more important role in the connection and organization of global economic activities and everyday activities than

The work of The Center for Urban and Global Studies is nothing less, says Chen. "It's the first center of its type at a top liberal arts college in the United States," he notes. "We have an institutional commitment

A talented singer, who had toured America with traveling productions of Broadway shows before he enrolled in Trinity, he began his undergraduate work as an English major, but added a second major in urban and global studies after a summer spent studying severalmegacities along China's Yangtze River between his first and sophomore years.

In addition to Chen, the book includes chapters by two other Trinity faculty members, Associate Professor Beth Notar of the Anthropology Department and

Since then the center has flourished , promoting and sponsoring an array of curricular initiatives, research projects and civic engagement activities. leading philanthropic organizations have collaborated with it to fund those activities. And the first students who've had the opportunity to work with Chen at the center have now graduated and gone on to further their education; not without taking along important lessons learned.

in urban globalism, no matter where my career takes me. The Center for Urban and Global Studies had a huge impact on me." It's a perspective shared by Chang liu ' 12, now a law student at Harvard, and Tomas de'Medici ' 12 , who most recently worked as a field organizer during the Obama campaign. Both characterize the opportunity to do exacting scholarship in collaboration with Dean Chen as an unexpected bonus in their undergraduate experience. Kanna, who was a postdoctoral fellow at the center at the time of the 2008 conference, says editing Rethinking Global Urbanism was particularly meaningful for him. He had completed his graduate work, but he says, "The year I spent at Trinity was enormously

"The conference was highly interdisciplinary," he adds. "lt was an extraordinary opportunity to engage with people from many different intellectual traditions. We tried to sustain that interdisciplinary approach in the book. Many cities are global even though they don't fit the conventional view of globalism . If you're not tracking what's going on in these cities, which are onl y 'secondary' because they are smaller than the Tokyos and Londons and Shanghais of the world, you're missing some very exciting trends that have the potential to change the planet in significant ways. I think we've captured that in Rethinking Global Urbanism.

The teachers I had, the Class of '63 Scholarship, the mentors and supporters- all contributed their time and energies to help make me the best I could be. At this point in my life, it is time to give those same opportunities to the next generation of students. Teaching calls upon everything I learned at Trinity, from psychology, philosophy; and math, to the intangibles- like desiring to help, make a difference, and give back to my community.

Brooks Barhydt '08 and his dad, Dutch Barhydt '81 , M '04, P'08, say there's no doubt that family tradition influenced each of them in their decisions to attend Trinity. Dutch followed in the footsteps of his father, Dirck Barhydt '53. Brooks arrived at Trinity well aware that both his grandfather and father preceded him on cam pus, as well as his aunt (Dutch's sister), Caroline Barhydt Francis '84. What's more, Brooks's parents fell in love 'neath the elms, and his mom, Hilary Chittenden Barhydt M '04, P'08, had a Trinity faculty member in her family: her grandfather, Goodwin Beach, taught classics in the 1950s and '6os. "Trinity has had a profound impact on my life," says Brooks. "I received a world-class education, had the opportunity to study abroad, and made many lifelong friends - most important among them my fiancee, Andrea Chivakos '08." As for Dutch, he observes: "Just about everything that is important in my life has a Trinity association, so giving back is natural. As an investment, I can't think of any better use for our philanthropic dollars than helping Trinity thrive for the students of today and of tomorrow."

"It's a way to ensure that future generations of students have the opportunity to attend Trinity, share in some of the same experiences I had, and add their own . " great memones. Brooks Barhydt 'o8

Recently, Brooks decided to incorporate a gift to Trinity in his estate planning, something his parents have done as well. "As I approach my five -year Reunion," says Brooks, "I want to recognize all that the school has done for me. While I cannot write a one-mill ion-dollar check today, I can add Trinity to my estate plans. It's a way to ensure that future generations of students have the opportunity to attend Trinity, share in some of the same experiences I had, and add their own great memories."

With the recent passing of classmate John Olshesky my task of serving as your class reporter will soon be phasing out. John intended to be present at the June Reunion , which marked the passage of 75 years since we received our sheepskins, but he was unable to make it. He was one of the few members of our class who majored in engineering. Ten years after receiving a degree in civil engineering he received a degree in civil engi neering from the University of Connecticut. He was a licensed professional engineer with the right to add P. £. after his signature. Dan Alpert, our Class President, is still skiing in Snowmass Village in Colorado and lives there year round. He never learned to "come in from the cold."

all the news about Triniry College and our fellow alumni. Jim and Phyllis Bulmer toured Bangkok, Cambodia, and Vietnam- no more orth and South. They described Angkor War in northern Cambodia as a fascinating site. Vietnam interested them from the prospective of the war which is cal led the "American War." Interestingly they seem to hold no animosiry toward Americans. Their fee lings were expressed as "we won, you lost, let's move on." At this writing Phyllis and Jim are sailing in the western Mediterranean Sea on a clipper ship. They do take such interesting trips. The College forwarded a very touching e-mail from Lynn Cowburn '92. She is the daughter of Bruce 1-!inkel, our classmate, and wanted to report the news of his death on March 7 You may recall that Bruce attended Triniry's lunch at our 6oth Reunion with his wife, Nancy, a real ball of fire, despite his ill health. Triniry meant a great deal to Bruce, Lynn, and her grandfather, Fred, Class of 1906, who served as alumni secretary for a numbe r of years. I got a nice e- mail from Bob Wilson, who lives in Sun Ciry West, AZ, with his wife, Nancy. I talked with him in November and he boasted of 82 degree weather and sitting in the sun in shorts and a polo shirt, decidedly different from Cleveland weather in November. Bob is involved with silversmithing and lapidary while Nancy does a lot of clogging with a group in the area. They also travel a lot and recently took a cruise from Sydney to Honolulu last spring followed by another one along the Mexican Riviera. When it gets hot in the summer rl1ey journey to Utall where they take classes at Utal1 State Universiry and attend performances by the Utall Festival Opera. Sounds like the good life.

David Kennedy is inching his way into retirement. He will co mpl ete hi s term as inte rim recto r at the Chu rch of the H oly Nativity in Honolulu. H e has held a continuous se ri es of such pos itions fo r th e past sixteen years. bu t is still not ready to declare th at he is no t going to take another one. He was rece ntly honored by the D iocese of H awaii by being appointed an hono rary Ca non of St. Andrews Cathedral . He thinks that thi s might be a hint that he should "hang it up," but I think that they are go ing to have to be more explicit if they expect h im to beco me a part o f the co ngregation. Charlie Bowen knows how to reti re. He and Calvin e have bee n li ving in a retire ment communi ty in Lake Forest, spending summ ers with fam ily on an island in Canada.

Dave Roberts has made a recovery from some physical challenges and is now back playing 18 holes of golf and slugging the ball out of sight (generally deep into the rough) . He wiU be attacking the courses in Florida through March while staying in his condo in Delray Beach. Lou Magelaner, sporting two new knees , maintains a full schedule of competitive tennis at his club in Vero Beach. His wife, Bev, is in a recovery mode and will be back on the courts soon. Bob l=reeman neve r slows down and is also fully engaged in an active tennis program . He takes advantage of their Lakeland, Fl, getaway through March to keep his game at a high level. Your secretary has been active on two U STA tean1s on Hilton Head Island and the over 75 (3.5) tennis team won our region, so we all went to Charleston, SC, for the state playoffs. It was a learning experience. Cam Hopper continues to manage a Greenwich, CT, two -attorney law firm , but fortu nately during the cold winter season, he and Peggy manage to spend time at their place in Vero Beach, FL. Also in Vero, but mostly full time, are lyn and Lucky Callen. No more alpaca farming for them. Joe Reinman has stayed very active as he is on two academic committees at University of Tampa and University of South Florida. But the most fun for him is maintaining a leadership role in Tampa's gala GaspariUa Pirate Festival held each February, attracting so me 400,000 attendees to the area. Dick Royston enjoys watching hi s grandson, Michael Rocco, on national TV, hand ling the quarterback position for tl1e University of Virginia (yes, Phil Truitt, the last name is - Rocco) . Emmy and !=rank Cerveny split the ir time between Jacksonville and Naples and are on the go keeping up with nine grandchildren, spread as far as london, England. Carol and I are involved in an "Alpha" progran1 here at our Hilton Head church, but it was Frank who brought the program to the USA from England some thirty five years ago when he was a priest at a church in New York City. Thanks to David Hoag we will be enjoying another Florida mini class Reunion in early February 2013. I'II report on that in our next letter.

Jack Barter wrote (through ilie ever reliable conduit of David Taylor) to bring us all up to date on his life, at least since getting together for our 55th Reunion at Trinity. His life sounds lovel y and well ordered: winter on Marco Island, Fl (as far soulli on the west coast as you can go) , and summers in western Massac huse tts in the Be rkshire Mountains. It see ms he has a place on an island in Big Pond in Otis, MA. He has five children and 12 grandchildren, which should make fam ily Reunions, either in the Berkshires or Marco Island, lively. He reports that two long term

employees embezzled significant funds from hi s company, the John H . Barter Associates Insurance agency I assume (although he runs several other firms.) He also says he particularly enjoys Trinity alumni gatherings in aples eve ry winter. I am told it is a large and popular group. George Stone, who lives in Alexandria, VA, wrote to report that he survived a storm in mid summer (the July 4 weekend) that took down a lor of trees but he lucked our. He and his wife, Patti , arrived home after church that Sunday to find power out but it was restored in time to save his food supply, and this was a weekend of air temperatures over 100 degrees. I hope he fared as well with hurricane/ tropical storm Sandy in late October. Alan Schaertel responded to David Taylor recently to bring us up to date on his life. He has been listed in alumni records as business and financial editor for the Associated Press/ Radio, working our of Washington, D.C. In his note to David he reports that he is now retired but that his career had been spent mostly in Europe (primarily Germany) as a broadcast journalist. He sold a home in Florida just al1ead of the real estate bubble collapse (2008) and moved to Grand Rapids, MI, where his daughte r is a university professo r of chemistry. He also told David that he had to have a kidney transplant, which , happily, was totall y successful and that today he feels fine. We are glad to lea rn of this and hope Alan will become a regular correspondent to this, our column. Here is some exciting news - and unexpected for so meone our age. Alastair Taylor reports to me that he was married to longtime girlfriend Margy on October 12 in Maclean, VA. As he put it: C•After yea rs of pursuit, Margy has stopped running- and said yes!" Great news and we congratulate you, Alastair. My wife and I spent a lovel y two weeks in southern Rhode Island in Jul y, enjoying the pleasures of shore life in Little Com pton. While there I had the pleasure of spending some time with Jim Tewksbury and his wife , Joan. O ne day he took my wife, Sunny, and I ou t on his boat for a tour of the waters in and around Westport harbor. and then a long, fascinating tou r of the vacation spots of Massachuse tts, around South Dartmouth , Padanaram , Nonquitt, and other pi ctu resque shore towns. We dined well on lobster and chowder and good company. Dave Renkert called me in late October and we talked about old friends and fishing. Dave had a hip operation last year, which went well , allowing him to resume golfing. but restricted hi s ability to wade a trout stream. As a resu lt he had little time for fl y fishing, which is always a shame. At the time of our talk he was planning to go up to Hartford with his wife, Ann , for Homeco ming. I hope he

made it and had a good time, and one time maybe he and I will fish together. I also talked with Charlie Stehle about me new initiative that President Jones and the trustees are proposing. Evidently it has created some strong negative reaction . Finally, I sent e- mails to several classmates who were in the path of the big tropical storm Sandy (October 29/ 30) to see how they had made out. Gil Vigneault (who lives much of the year in East Brunswick, N J) reported back that he had been very fortunate in that he and his wife, Gert, had fared much better than most. One large tree hit his house but only with minor damage. He was wim out power for less than 24 hours, but he had had to shut down hi s business (because of no power and Internet service) for a fuU week. We wish you well , Gil , and hope your power is restored soon. I also talked with Ken Weisberger in Westport, CT, who lost power for six days. He came through the storm and its aftermalli reasonably well thanks to a propane- powered generator that he had had installed in his house's system. They lost some limbs but no one was hurt. I myself got out of New York just in time on Saturday the 27. I had taken students from my VM I marketing class to visit ad agencies in Manhattan . We left ew York about 48 hours al1ead of the storm.

The first that I receive is tl1e first one in my report, etc. l am writing thi s report on ovember 15, 2012. In early September, Paul Amadeo Cataldo hosted a lovely luncheon for Ward Curran, Neil Day. Don Stokes, and yours truly in his beloved home town of Franklin, MA. Prior to the lun cheon Paul entertained us at his sumptuou law offices in Franklin. Since he did not appear at our Reunion we were curious to know what he looks like. The answer> Essentially tl1e same. Of note is the fact that there is a lavatory with a shower adjacent to o ne of his conference rooms but it does not have a mirror. Does anyone care to speculate on that> Pe rhaps we should take up a collection. Bill Morrison has barel y eked out quire Cataldo for the most miles logged in international travel in 2012. Bill's wife, Anne. became a member of the Traveler's Ce ntury Club as she visited her 103rd international destination. The Morrisons had two very different trips. The first trip after Easter was to Sydney for mree fuU days. and the n a 29-day cruise. Ports of call included New Zealand . Fiji, American Samoa. Tal1iti, and Moorea . The cruise continued to Honolulu where Bill had the pleasure of speaking to his grandson Jack's fourth -grade class. The subject was "What's it like to be a published author." The children asked many questions and Jack's teacher was very pl eased. The ship then moved to Maui, and then finall y to San Francisco. They totaled

In attendance we re Bordie Painter, Mike Zoob , Pete Bailey, Joe Repole, Bernie Moran, Art Polstein, and AI Krupp.

Al ong with Reunio n acti vities we di scussed a new initiative started in Oc tober 20 11, when the Boa rd o f Trustees form ed th e C harte r Comm ittee for Building Soc ial Co mmuni ty in respo nse to Preside nt Jones's vi sio n o f what Trini ty will be like at its 200 th annive rsary. This is a huge undertaking and in volves a va ri ety o f e ndeavo rs to improve the ove ral l soc ial enviro nment at Trini ty. So me of the initiati ves to be und ertaken include developing a house sys te m, improving the quali ty and quanti ty of social spaces. instituting a cl ear and transpare nt soc ial code, and reinvigorating the coeducatio nal mandate. As progress takes pl ace I'm sure we will learn mo re from the admini stratio n about thi s

initiative. The afte rn oo n highlighted the Trini ty v. Amherst foo tball game. We we re los ing at hal f tim e and at the beginning of the 4th quarte r Amherst was leading 20 to 12.

Coykendall; Robert Pi zze llo G reetings C lass of '59, I started writing thi s le tte r o n Monday, Octobe r 29, just prio r to the arrival of Hurricane andy e ntering continental U.S. via New Jersey. Three things we re on my mind. Sandy and climate change- although I am no t a fan of AI Gore, when New Jersey replaces Fl orida as a hurricane center during my lifetime so mething has changed. Seco ndl y, the election - onl y a wee k or so to go. but at your rece iving thi s current iss ue the electio n is now history and I will not comment. T he third and final issue is Trini ty. As you may know, espec ially if you attended H o mecoming las t Nove mbe r, change may be coming big- time to our favo rite alma mater. During 20 12 the Trini ty Boa rd o f Trustees, respond ing to a variety of near-crisis incidents involving Trinity students, es tabli shed a C harter Committee tasked to submi t recommend ations to the Trustees des igned to transform the social landscape (or lack the reof) at Trini ty. The ove rall goal was to co me up with a plan to pro mote a more robust intellectual climate o n ca mpus and to improve Trini ty's role as a co mmuni ty. Recomm endations to achieve thi s plan were included in a fin al report of the C harter Committee, a fifty page document avai.l able on th e Trini ty Web site. The ce ntral reco mmendatio n in creating a Social Communi ty at Trini ty was to es tablish a "house system" o f six "houses" co mpri sing approximately 375 stude nts each. As o ne might expect, the pl an as written was controve rsial, especially among unde rgrads and grads that feared the whole fraterni ty system, and Trini ty as we re membered it, would be co mpro mised. Many of you rece ived letters fro m undergrads and our own cl assmates express ing co nce rn as to th e pro posed changes. In any case. the C harte r Committee's repo rt was app roved unani mously by the Board o f Trustees at the ir retreat on October 13, 2012. Howeve r, wh en prese nting the plan to the Trini ty co mmuni ty at Homeco ming last November, there was considerable resistance. Homeco ming was a success though and Trini ty beat Amh erst. The imm ediate future of the C harter Co mmittee's repo rt, as of this pe nning on Nove mber 5, is not quite clear. Stay tuned as [ suspec t there will be an effo rt to rectify co ntrove rsial ite ms within the o rigin al report.

According to the Trinity Reporter you received last October you will note that there are now three less surviving members of Trinity's C lass of 1959: Dick Jaffe, Si Levit , and Mark Healy. Unfortunatel y I have neither seen nor communicated with any of them since graduation. There were brief obituaries of Si and Dick. I found Dick's interesting as I wasn't aware he had been a member of the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds ae rial demonstration team. Dick did not mention this in our 50th Reunion class book. Perhaps he was on the team later. For the record, Mark Healy was from Pawtucket, Rl . His undergraduate activities included program director for WRTC, member of Jesters, a junior adviser, and a member of Theta Xi. Additional information would be greatly appreci ated. May tl1ey Rl P. Class of '59 had at least two brilliant poets. You may remember our class poet and Salutatorian Michael Rewa, who graced the last page of ou r soth Reunion class book with the moving poem "L." 1 would also like to add the name of Arnold L. "Butch" Lieber. currently of Aventura, F L, to this list. Butch earned his M .D. at University of Miami in 1964, and then served as a U.S. Air Force flight surgeon from 1963 until 1968. Noting me multiple challenging opportunities in the Air Force, he completed his residency in psychiatry at me University of Miami in 1972 and tl1en a very successful career in psychopharmacology from 1972 to 2003. Butch's initial inspiration to write (poetry) was at Trinity via his association with Professor of English Samuel French Morse. Morse was a poet and me biographer of Wallace Stevens, the famed Hartford poet of me early twentietl1 century. Butch began writing poetry in medical school and his first publication, titled "An Intern's Lament," appeared in me Journal of the An1erica Medical Association in September 1965. He received a letter of commendation by me Air Force Surgeon General for his poem, and it was reprinted widely in newspapers and magazines in the U.S. and abroad. Numerous subsequent verses appeared in medical journals and literary periodicals over me next twenty years. Butch spent most of last sun1mer alone at his mountai11 retreat in New Hampshire, where he took me opportunity of so rting, revising and re-writing his collected verses and even creating some new pieces. Xlibris Publishing Co. agreed to provide hardback, softback, and e- book editions currently available online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Xlibris. The book is titled Chasing the Muse: Poems by A.L. Lieber. You can reach Butch via Psycdocal@aol. com. Following the summer in H , Butch sold his retreat and he and his wife Saundra, a successful realtor in Miami, transited Charlie and Linda Nichols' home in nearby Chads Ford, PA, where we were able to squeeze t!Us information out of him. During September and October, yours truly and Emilee visited Warsaw where our son and daughter-in -law are assigned to the U.S. Embassy Our trip included Krakow, Wroclaw, and Gdansk (where WWI I started in Poland, Prague, and Dresden and Berlin in Germany. If you haven 't been to Berlin lately, you may want to give it a try It has been under construction since 1989 when me Berhn wall came down. They are still rebuild ing, but we spent four nights in Berlin and really only scratched the surface with visits to Potsdam (where WWI! ended) and the rebuilt cathe-

drals, museums, hotels, WW II sites, the totally rebuilt Reichstag, etc. Their public transit system above and underground, designed and operated by Germans, staggers the imagination. Best to you all, Jon Reynolds Alumni Fund Goal: $75,000 Class Secretary: Grosvenor

Tried to get Bud (Hodell) Anderson to change his plans to stop off to see the game on his way to his winter quarters in Bluffton, SC, but plans had already been made. Bud, plan now for next year to see Bantam football. They are awesome! It seems this year's football team always found a way to win .... especially in the fourth quarter. The Homecoming game played on a beautiful autumn day against Amherst was no exception. The Fighting Bantams scored 20 points in the final quarter for meir seventh straight win, 32-20. Had a brief message from Jere Bacharach, who was trying to get in touch with Marv Peterson. I fulfilled my duties as class secretary and gave Marv's e- mail address to Jere. While on me subject of e-mail addresses, it is important to have an up - to-date list. Please update your e- mail address to julie.cloutier@trincoll.edu. Thank you. In talking with Ray Beech, he mentioned his renovation and restoration company had recently received their largest renovation and restoration project. He is very excited about tl1e project that should keep him busy for a few years. ln July, Matt levine passed on tl1e following information that Charlie Burger, Diane, and Maggie the dog have recently made a change in their lives. After remembering what Kenny Rogers once said, "You have to know when to hold 'em, and know when to fold 'em"- and as Diane recently said to Charli e, " It's better to bite the bullet before the bullet bites you" - they have retired their 11 -year-old motor home with their little red Mazda that is 19 years old and has 285,000 well -earned miles. They have been traveling for 15 fun - filled years. They plan to take a European river cruise in mid -September, and men return to Boise where they plan to downsize. Sounds like a wonderful plan. Ed Cimilluca and Carol took a trip in August to Germany, visiting Berlin, Dresden, and Leipzig, where they witnessed firsthand the incredible rebirth of East Germany. He reports mat on the way home they stopped in London to see their son, Dana '92, and his family. They feel they were lucky to see the Brazil/ Mexico soccer final at the Olympics. "Spectacular setting at Wembley Stadium. The Brits did themselves proud." Charlie Hawes is still going strong. He wishes everyone was closer and during Homecoming asked to hoist one for him. In September Mike Sienkiewicz forwarded David Steinberg's (Albuquerque jounwO September 9 review of Karl Koenig 's book, Fragments. Karl

spent 10 years documenting and photographing the remains of Holocaust sites. His images were created in his unique patented "gum oil" process. Sadly, Karl passed away earlier this year. I am continuously amazed by the wonderful accomplishments of our classmates. On the Lighter side, Mike added that "Karl was George Black's and my roommate freshman year for about a week or so and had the good sense to move out." Our Class President, George Kroh. was not able to make Homecoming. He and Carolyn were in Maniche, Haiti , in the mountains at St. Augustin School. Their church, St. Andrew's in Kansas City, has been the sole support of t!Us school of 140 chi ldren for the past 25 years. Carolyn held a two day teaching seminar while George worked wim a construction crew seiling the roofs and painting exteriors of two buildings. In me fall Bob Johnson and Faim attended me annual AD "Bankers Open" in Vero Beach, and on their way north stopped to see Gina and Bud Anderson in Bluffton, SC. Ken lyons was not able to make Homecoming, but he did report returning from Santa Fe where he saw Jim Gavin. Jim's oldest daughter just graduated from Smith and his youngest is a junior in Claremont, CA, group of five colleges Ken can't believe most of us will turn 75 next year. "V./e are not old, just growing older, which is a privilege...... Keep well." Marv Peterson and Sarili spent the holidays with their kids in Santa Cruz before heading to Big Sky and some great skiing after the ew Year. Your secretary had a busy fall and end of me year. After Homecoming Weekend, Margy and I were off to Captiva for a few days to visit friends who had Red tl1e high waters of the Connecticut shore. Then, it was on to Grenville, SC, for a few days to attend a Garden Club of America meeting that was on Margy's schedule. Thanksgiving was celebrated in Winnetka, Il, with our two daugh ters and three grandchildren. It was men back to Rochester where we celebrated me holidays with our son and his two children. We ended me year and saw the New Year in at Big Sky with our Chicago clan endeavoring to get our ski legs back in shape. We just missed Marv and Sarili Peterson who arrived as we headed back home.

August and September. "We took the 200- mph bullet train to Beijing where we began the 5,000mile long trek along the ancient trading routes to the west called the Silk Road. We also visited Xian, the Buddha caves of central Chi na, and then the Gobi desert in the northwest before crossing the mountainous and dangerous border into the two 'sta.ns' where we toured the wonderful Samarqand Registan and other Moslem monuments." According to Charlie McGill, the official Trinity China "Ramble" covered much of the same ground: "The Great '63 China Ramble finally occurred ove r nineteen days in autumn 2012. Twelve intrepid, hearty classmates and spouses toured a sign ifi cant portion of China in search of adventure, intellectual challenge, good fellowship, and celebration of our approaching 50th Reunion. Dee and Dick Chang traveled the shortest distance as they came from Hawaii , where Dick now is the retired Episcopal Bishop. The others arrived from the East Coast: world travel ers Martha and Bill J.lowland (escaping briefly his Class President's responsibilities) ; Jeanne and Vic Keen from Philadelphia; Pat and Charlie McGill. tl1rilled to get a break from unpacking after moving from New York City to Florida; Peggy and Scott Reynolds, undoubtedly happy to put big mileage between them and Trinity lest Scott be recalled to Hartford again; and our trip impresarios, Zibby and Jim Tozer, nervously hoping that the Ramble would come off as planned. "We visited the famous places: in Beijing, Tiananmen Square, Forbidden C ity, Summer Palace, Mao's Tomb and, of course, the Great Wall seen from an 'off- the -beaten- path' perspective; in Xi'an, the world -famous terra -cotta warriors followed by a dumpling banquet (one of many to come): in Shanghai, astounding twenty- first centu ry architecture along with optimistic and successfu l planned development. We went also to the Gobi Desert's oasis town of Dunhuang and its Grottos of the Thousand Buddhas carved in caves within desert cliffs; the Gansu Provincial Museum on the Si lk Road ; Tibet's Labrang Monastery offering an intimate insight into Buddhism and the daily routine of its monks: Sichuan Province's City of Chengdu and the Giant Panda Breeding Place (Guilin's cruise on the Li River flowing beneath classic rock formations such as Elephant Trunk

Hill and ine Horses. Throughout, our extraordinary guide and planner was Trinity Professor Michael Lestz '68." With many thanks to Bob Bordogna, l can now provide further updates for a number of classmates. Bob Bylin, hasn 't been back to Trinity since he left, reportedly said that Bob Booth hounded him into turning in his bio. Now he is at least thinking about coming back for the 50th. Way to go, Boother' Bordogna goes on to report, " Bob Bylin started worki ng at Fairchild Semiconductor after college and left sometime after they were acquired by aPE firm. Like many of us, he flunked retirement and is back in the workforce. 1 also caught up with Steve Jones, who retired ten years ago to Asheville, NC, where he and his wife have a son and some grandchildren. He's pretty much doing the volunteer thing and liking retirement. His main interest is his involvement in the Unitarian Church and he is a definite for a return for our soth, unlike Pete Bogert. Pete called from his office in Fort Mill, SC, where he too has flunked retirement. He and wife Kimberly have a twelve-year-old son named Alex and Pete has been experiencing the joy of living life again through an accomplished athletic son. Weekends and hi s off time are devoted to shepherding his son to football and baseball practices and games. June will be bringing the arrival of several tournaments so he will not be at the Reunion. Mal McGown also called me. Mal must have been playing football without a helmet because he moved from San C lemente, CA, to Valparaiso, lN. I have nothing against Vappo but come on: San C lemente for Valparaiso! Anyway, the lure was to be near his grandchildren who live there. Mal is a "yes" for the Reunion . He retired from the San Onofrio, CA, nuclear power plant where he was an engineer for many years. Jim Blair advised me that fellow Deke, John Reeder (who did not graduate with our class) , died on September 20 . He lived in Fair Oaks Ranch , TX. I also caught up with Jim Goodridge. I found him to be pretty chipper. He had just finished radiation therapy and is leaving on a cruise starting in Venice on October 30 and ending in Monte Carlo on November 8. Lee Chirg wi n has been getting around in a wheelchair after ankle fusion surgery on October 16. He writes, " I will be housebound for six- toeight weeks , and then in a walking cast for another six- to-eight weeks. I have more than enough books piled up, and I should be fine for our big Reunion." Linda and Tom Calabrese, in their camper R V. dropped by to see the Bordognas in Louisville, KY They were attending a nephew's wedding and were taking the long route to get in as much sightseeing as possible. For baseball fans like Tom, the Louisville Slugger Museum was a must. I hear he whiffed on the pitching machine but the rudi ments of his old swing were sti ll there, albeit a little slower and a little rusty. As usual , Bob and Elaine continue to provide a hearty welcome to all who come through the city Vic Keen has transitioned into an "of counsel" position at his law firm. l n effect, he is now a parttime lawye r. "In my 'retirement' I continue to serve as a board member of two very interesting high tech compan ies- Research Frontiers, Inc. and 3D leon

Corp- and , with Jim Tozer, own and manage commercial and residential real estate in Manhattan's Meatpacking District. My wife, Jeann e, and I continue to own and operate The Performance Garage, a Philadelphia dance venue that has served as a performance and rehearsal space for over 200 dance companies and groups over the last 1o years. More recently I acquired a 150-year-old church and restored and converted it into an art gallery, now housing my coll ections of 'outsider' art and vintage radios and toys. Other very satisfying activi ties include board positions at the Philadelphia Theatre Company and the Play Penn, Inc., an organization whose mission is to support new plays and playwrights in various ways." On the Sunday befo re Homecoming, Nancy and l had the pleasure of having Richard Birney路 Smith dine with us at our desert home ou tside of Tucson. Richard's sister had been living in Tucson and recently passed away, necessitating his travel to the Southwest. Five days later, we would again meet as both of us attended Homecoming in Hartford, along with eighteen other classmates. In atte ndance were Jim Tozer, Vic Keen, Steve Repetto , Scott Reyolds, ~unter Marvel, Bill ~owland , Carroll Stribling, Sandy Creighton, Dave Raymond, Jim Davison, Jack Waggett, Steve Perreault, John Watson, John Kent , Marshall Blume, Tom Calabrese, ~arvey Thomas, Jim Blair, Richard Birney-Smith and, yours truly, Eli Karson . This was our 27th class

gathering at Homecoming, a testan1ent to the spirit of '63- ln June, we will once again have an opportunity gather and celebrate the C lass of 1963. For those 'o n the fence' I wanr ro share a recent personal communication: "I think it would be a mistake to deprive yourself of the opportu nity to see old friends that you might never have another opportunity to see again. Even selective attendance at events and alternate personal planning for pri vate informal gatherings can make this a time you will never forget or regret. As we get closer, you can do your own planning to assure that the 50th Reunion is for you, what you want ir to be. It is a unique opportunity we should nor squander." The dates are June 6 through June 9, or anywhere in benveen. Our 50th Reunion headquarters hotel will be the Hartford Marriott and we will kick off Thursday night with a class dinner at the Crew's Boathouse on the Connecticut River, which is a gift, free for all rhose who attend.

Knapp, Watkinson Library, Trinity College, 300 Summit St., Ha rtford, CT 06106-3100 !;:-mail: peter.knapp@trincoll. edu; fax: 860-297-2251 50th Reunion Tri Chairs: Merrill Yavinsky, John !;:llwood, Peter Sturrock Roland Ca rlson has written recently to record his wonde rment at rhe passage of time as we contemplate our rapidly nearing soth Reunion . He is not alone in his reflections as I and many classmates wi ll agree. Roland retired last January after 45 years in the hospital11ealthcare management business that spanned five different hospital organizations. Not, however, wishing to lose touch as major changes continue in the healthcare delivery system and its financing, Roland sees himself as "rewiring" rather than retiring and has established a consu lting firm. He and Rosemary will continue to have their home base in central Illinois. Roland notes espec iall y that they are looking forward to our soth . Thanks, Roland , for bringing us up to date. In otl1er news the planning committee for the soth had a productive meeting at Homecoming in early November and you can look forward to an interesting and enjoyable program. Also, as chair of the Reunion book committee, I'll be making arrangements to send out to all classmates the data forms for the book based on updated contact information we'll be asking for shortly.

That's all for now and please remember to keep me posted on news of note. Alumni l=und Goal: $85,000 Class Secretary: David C.

Charlesworth, 5 Kittanset Road, Bedford, NH 03110-4508 E-mail: david.charlesworth.l966@trincoll.edu 50th Reunion Chair: Brian Grimes Well the Class of '66 has done it again. But I don 't know what. OK, so I promise not to write about Rod Van Sciver or Scott Sutherland this time, but I will if you ask me. How about l=ord Barrett > OK, Ford Barrett. You wi ll be pleased to note he has just retired after 42 years of service from the Office of the Comptroller of the U.S. Department of the Treasury That office is in charge of the big banks. A round of applause for Ford (for servi ng or retiring, you take your pick). He plans to stay in Washington, D.C., where he can watch us go over the fiscal cliff close up. By the time this note is printed, we will know just how high the cliff was: one foot or 6oo- billion feet. Of interest to many is the difficult time Paul Diesel has had following his heart surgery a couple of years ago. He then developed a clot on the brain that had to be removed. Since then he has required extensive and intensive rehabilitation. Brian Grimes and yours truly had the opportunity to take Paul out to lunch at the Mill Wharf Restaurant in Scituate Harbor, MA, in early October. Paul was in good form. He declared he was managing his own portfolio, and that it was doing well. We were not in a position to question. So it's time for a Bruce Bodner story. He says, "Do you want to go to Sicily?" I say, "Sure. Who's paying?" So he sets it up, and he, Linda, Jane, and I go to Sici ly for 10 days in October. It never rains in Sicily; it rained for us. It's always warm; not for us. The privately-guided trip was seamless; every few days we were handed off to another guide. We didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing. Some of them actually spoke English. A couple of things to know: If you want ro eat good Italian food , go to Ital y, nor Sicily. Sicilians are Sicilian: they are not Italian. While there are some lovely Sicilians, all the smartest and most tal ented Sicilians live in ew Jersey, not Sicily Why> Because there is an organization in Sicily that contro ls everything, I mean everything. othing gets done without a little extra payment. So. tl1e important tl1ing about having Bruce along is that he already knows more than tl1e guide does. He just pretends that he doesn 't, and that is the fun part to watch. While this wi ll be old news in March, at this point Dennis Dix is leading rhe charge for "The Concerned Brothers of Psi Upsilon" against the Charter Commission for Building Social Community at Trinity College, which was approved by, yes, a Psi U Brother, Paul Raether. That would be Paul Raetl1er, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Trinity CoUege.

Furthermore, there was a meeting of the 50th Reunion Committee during Homecoming weekend, and Brian, Randy Lee , and Bill Eakins artfully represented all of us.

Rob also reminded me that wh.ile Jim Oliver is our new class agent, Alex Levi will be soliciting all of us for the 50th Reunion gift. So you can send your pledges to one or both of them . Dan Haden and his wife, Susan, visited us in Madison, CT, in October. They are great house guests.

Greene and Doug Morrill, as well as some of our other gridiron gladiators- Rich Coyle, John Miller, Tom Nary, and Paul Goldschmidt- joined your secretary and other non - footballers Dick Meloy and Paul Raether for the homecoming

game. Dick Meloy, who followed his Trinity career with an MBA at the University of Chicago, has retired from a career in banking and finance to teach economics for University of Phoenix, and was recently named Teacher of the Year (a particular accomplishment for someone teaching "the dismal science"). Bruce Greene returned to Trinity for a mas ter's degree about a dozen years ago and is now involved in archeological investigations. (Bruce initiated a post-game beer fest with discussions of the worst places in the world to have visited.) As a result, we all removed Bangladesh from our bucket lists. Paul Goldschmidt has retired from practicing medicine with the benefit of having his son, also a Trin alum, take over his Connecticut practice. John Miller will retire in the spring of 2013 from various business endeavors and will be moving from Lexington, MA, to Charlottesville, VA, once he can shed decades of items accumulated at his home. Rich Coyle flirts with retirement (ballplayers say tl1ey are "day- to-day") while Rich's motto is that his continued working is "month - to- month ." Rich has had a terrific career in financial PR and corporate communications that included travel across Asia, Australia, and New Zealand while working for IBM in Tokyo. After retiring, he and his wife, Tina, will relocate from Granite Springs, NY, to Savannah, GA. "My plans are fluid to say the least. I may do so me consulting and freelance writing, bur it's far more likely I 'II focus on volun teer work and finally getting around to learning how to play golf" He also said he just heard from Bill Walsh , who is doing well as a health industry consultaJlt in New Mexico. Doug Morrill, retired for seve ral years and living in Simsbury; has started to consider whether three major storms in 15 months is a message that he and his wife Carol should consider moving south. Doug reports that he sees Ralph White monthly, is gettiJ1g back to his playing weight, and welcomes contacts from classmates coming to the Hartford area. " It was a great Homecoming, filled with stories of football prowess, flying Bantams, and L Gill. A great warm - up for the Reunion ." For tl10se of you concerned about whether Trinity's plan to move to a residential house model will eliminate fraternities, I can pass along Paul Raether's assurance, provided to me in tl1e third quarter of the game, that this is not the case and that the residential house plan will co-exist with the Greek life ... and since the Psi U house (where Paul was a brother) was a social Mecca on Vernon Street during Homecoming. I am confident in Paul's assurance. I bought tickets to see Avenue QJn NYC upon Stu Bluestone telling me that his son Darren has the lead in the show. (You may k.i1ow it as the long- running, extremely creative musical based loosely on Sesame Street but with an adult, urban theme.) Rich Coyle has seen it and reports that Darren's performance is terrific. Stu continues his "semi- retired" status working witl1 tl1e New Mexico Attorney General on legislative matters,

aJld has become Grandpa Stu. Paul Jones reports that he is in his tlurd year of retirement but keeping busy with travel , woodworking and volunteering at the VA Hospital in Milwaukee. At least to date, his woodworking has not led to digital subtractions that would interfere with guitar or golf. Also in the healthcare field , Phil Pennington recently retired from a career in hospital administration and health insurance. He and his wife have gotten seriously into boating. They have a Monk 36 trawler, with planned trips across the ew York state canal system and beyond. Phil passes on useful advice to those about to retire: take some time to breathe and avoid over-committing early. He fu1ds it working well for him. Don Barlow, retired from teaching and is now tutoring students in SpaJlish, up to 35 miles a day on his bike, and running three times a week. Our retired classmates are anything but sedentary! The star of our swim team , Bill Bacon, has continued as a competitive swimmer in both the Masters and Senior Olympic programs, as well as coaching a group of triathletes. Bill spent the first 28 years after Trinity in the navy as an explosive ordinance disposal officer (think The Hurt Locker) . He had four tours of duty in Vietnam and four commands before retiring as a Captain. Then Bill used his avy expertise as a consultant, determin ing the best approach, cost, and manning for clearing unexploded ordnance from firing raJ1ges at numerous base realignment and closure sites and formerly- used defense sites. And aJlother non -sedentary retirement: Ten months into 2012, Steve Peters already had posted scores for 41 rounds of golf. Stan Kosloski has completed his move to Petaluma, CA, about 45 minutes north of the Golden Gate Bridge, and figures that the Red Sox' miserable season was in protest against his relocation from the East. Barry Bedrick retired in 2012 after six years as headmaster at St. Michael's School in Tucson, AZ, which honored him by creating the Barry and Susan Bedrick Endowed Fine Arts Scholarship. Barry and Susan have moved back to Snowmass, CO, and will split their time between Snowmass and Tucson . He's looking forward to another major league baseball park odyssey with Larry Roberts and continues to maintain his loyalty to the Red Sox. We can thank (or blame, depending on your politics) Bob Price for helping put Florida in the win column for President Obama. Bob is president of the South Shore Democratic Club (Tampa area) and was elected precinct committeeman in the November election. Just in time to do something about the Chinese drywall that needs to be removed from his home and force him to move out for three months ... but all the more time to putter around tl1e golf course with his Black Lab caddy. Finally, thanks to the generous hosting of Joe and Jean McKeigue, a group of classmates continued our annual long weekend retreat, th.is time in Cotuit, MA. In addition to the McKeigues and Your Secretary, we were joined by Tom Nary, George l=osque, Kim Miles, John Vail, Ben Jaffee, Stu Edelman, and Rod Cook, et ux. Yes,

Stephen 1-iorenstein '69 DEGREE: B.A. in music; M.M. in music composition, University of Wisconsin; Ph.D., Hebrew University, Jerusalem JOB TITLE: Composer; researcher; faculty member, Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance; founder and director of the Jerusalem Institute of Contemporary Music I=AVORITE TRINITY MEMORY: The regu'l ar Wednesday night ("frat night") screen ing s of short experimental films by Stan Brakhage, Bruce Conner, etc. It was for us "independents" who needed a home-it was where we met other members of our "tribe."

REPORTER: What is the Jerusalem Institute of Contemporary Music? !-!ORENSTEIN: The institute was founded in 1988 to bring music of our time to a wider audience through performance, research, and education. It was founded with the assistance of the Jerusalem f=oundation with the goal to help culturally energize Jerusalem. At present, the institute hosts a chamber ensemble, a small experimental orchestra, regular concerts, and multi-media events. In the past we did a great deal of research and social outreach with underprivileged youth. REPORTER: How would you define "contemporary music?" HORENSTEIN: Contemporary music is music of our time that is exploratory and pioneering in its discovery of new vistas of expression and architecture. Though it can embrace many styles (after all , we are in a "post post-modern" era), for me it is music that is, by and large, not necessarily "popular.'' This principle is readily understood in the world of modern art museums, but less so in music. REPORTER: As a composer, how would you describe your own personal style? !-!ORENSTEIN: My greatest inspiration comes from the modernist composer Charles E. lves. It's multi-layered, so while you may hear a lyric melody or strong rhythms, you may be also be surrounded by ethereal webs of sounds and sometimes even cacophony. I use a range of musical techniques and materials (as my men tor Bill Dixon described, "by any means necessary''). I draw much of my inspiration from living in this bizarre but vibrant city (Jerusalem)-a modern city built on ancient soil-where one

looks back into centuries through a matrix of electric wires. REPORTER: You teach a course at the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance on electro-acoustic music. What is e lectro-acoustic music? HORENSTEIN: The Britis h composer Trevor Wishart, whom I greatly admire, speaks of "audible design" and the breaking with past paradigms of what we think music is. Instead of the more simplistic, two-dimensional matri x of pitch and time, he sees the new world of music as sound objects that can be transformed and codified through digital means. Many of those sounds come directly from our rich acoustic environment (in historic terms, "musique concrete"). All this excites me deeply, and I try to impart my exc itement to my students-especially in the realm of real-time interaction between composer/performer and technology. REPORTER: Was there a course or professor at Trinity that helped shape your career? HORENSTEIN: After moving from psychology to literature, I affirmed my passion for music as a profession. It was the late professor Clarence Barber who agreed to spend countless hours invigorating my knowledge of harmony and counterpoint. He also encouraged me to take a broader view of my education, and to let other educational adventures energize my musical creativity. Around 1968 I also took a "Religion and Social Change" course with Dr. Albert Rabil. It was an amazing and wrenching course-a n experience that codified my commitment to social responsibility as an artist and later led to 25 years of research and work with youth at risk.

REPORTER: Can you tell us about your recent composition, an evening-length work for soloist and interactive computer-based live electronics? HORENSTEIN: It is about one player becoming an orchestra. The soloist triggers various layers of material through pedals, switches, sounds, and gestures. With all this, however, the audience simply hears the music. Last year, I did such a performance with an abstract film that I created. At present, I am challenged by doing "pure music" and allowing the audience to imagine the "film" in a darkened room, surrounded by speakers. Electronics enhance; they are a means to an end-the effective translation of what I hear in my inner musical imagination. REPORTER: What other new projects are you working on? HORENSTEIN: Right now I am composing using concrete and synthesized sounds man ipulated and shaped through the computer, while simulta neously working toward also bringing my ideas into the orchestral medium. I am currently working on composing a large array of miniature pieces; I see them much like the little boxes of Joseph Cornell. I also have an ongoing project with two other composers, where we collabo rate on real -time compositio n to classic silent films.

Leighton Smith has no retirement plans and is thriving on a new whole foods regime. Leighton reports that he has lost "almost 20 pounds in three weeks." His reward to himself is "I an1 still going to more than 50 baseball games a season, mostly in ew York." I guess that means that he wi ll not be eating stadium hotdogs. Michael Beautyman has changed his emphasis in Philadelphia to the real estate business. He is building a home in Naples, FL, and would love to hear from any classmates in the Naples area. By the time The Reporter is in your hands, Tony Lewis shall have become a retired person. That became official on 31 December, 2012, at which point, Tony writes: "I will have left being the Molly Laird Downs Professor of New Testament at Virginia Theological Seminary (where Steve Cook '84 has been a valued colleague) since I returned here in 2000. In truth priests and teach ers do not really retire. They simply begin to do what they always have done , but witlwut the con straints of faculty committee work or vestry meetings!" Tony plans to stay active in the Washington, D.C. metro area theological community doing adjunct teaching and being a volunteer assistant at t Paul's Parish where Tony was a seminarian assistant before he was ordained. Tony adds tl1at "Jonatl1an Chesney '05 is now seminarian assistant at St Paul's. On classmate news, I had tl1e honor and joy of assisting at Pete Maxson's marriage. Then, along with Frank Kirkpatrick '64 from the Trinity faculty, I will continue to serve on the General Board of Examining Chaplains of The Episcopal Church. AU that plus I will have turned 65 in November and will have celebrated 40 years as a priest on 2 December 2012. So retired, yes. But not likely to become bored in my new estate. As for location, location, location, I'll stay here in northern Virginia. Despite moving up and down the East Coast since tl1e fall of 1965, this has always been home, and those roots are deep." Another classmate with no plan to retire is Bill Canning who writes that he is "Still having fun after 41 years in the securities business. Glad to be working at Morgan Stanley with my son Peter Canning '05. Will Canning '0 2 works for Morgan Stanley in the City. Will and his wife, Tracy, are the parents of a baby girl born June 21 , 2012." Bill had a great summer racing his Melges 32 and with wife Suzie goes duck hunting here or in Argentina.

"Oh ye of littl e faith - do nat be doubting Thomases! " That was the mood of the Trinity Football team as it walked off the field at the end of halftime at Homecoming Weekend in an incredibly spirited football game against Amherst. When our team returned, and as the third quarter dragged on, Trinity trailed 20- 12. The mood was grim. Apparently, as Coach Devanney said, "Trinity players just can not believe they can lose and they didn't! " It was probably the most exc iting moment Your Secretary has ever seen in all of the time he has faithfully watched Trinity football games. That phenomenal interception by senior, Rae Haynes, was just overwhelmingly inspiring. Rae grew up just down the street from the Trinity campus and he turned around the game in a way that both he and the audie nce will never forget. He ran to a touchdown and the team added another before it was all over with a 32-20 victory. The official count for the crowd was 7,219, but the stands were absolutely packed all around. It appeared to be more than 10,000 in reality. What a spectacular autumn moment with a bright crisp sun; the campus looked abso lutel y gorgeous. Homecoming has never been better. It was great fun to see so many of you at Homecoming. I particularly enjoyed chatting with trustees Bill Reynolds and Tom DiBenedetto, both from the C lass of 1971. Tom 's enthusiasm for Trinity sports is boundless. He was probably the last person to leave the field after relishing chatting up all tl1e players in their traditional post-game hug with their parents on the sacred turf which refuses to lose. As I threw my last pass of a blue and gold colored Trinity football to my son, John Alexander, when we walked off the field , l looked over my shoulder and saw Tom talking to rwo or tluee of the absolute last to remain. He just could not give up the relish of the moment and the victory at hand. Tom told me that he believes that a new renaissance man is emerging: the coach for a university or college level sport in America. lt potentially can be one of the best qualities of lives one can attain in this hyper-competitive and stressful environment among overburdened professionals. Food for thought. At th e spring 2012 meeting of the American Bar Association's Section of International Law, classmate Jonathan Granoff held an entertaining, substantive, and inspiring wide - ranging dialogue with others in front of an audience of several hundred of the world's top lawyers.

The

dialogue was exceptionally well received and is part of a series of such dialogues that Jonathan Granoff developed for a section meeting. Jonathan is president of the Global Security Institute and chair of the Section of the International Law's Taskforce on Nuclear Nonproliferation.

Tom Weiner is the Trinity person with whom I have stayed the most closely connected, so l am particularly glad to share this: In early September, Tom Weiner and his wife, Susan, got a call from their son, Stefan, a senior at the C live Davis School of Recorded Music at NYU's Tisch School. Stefan invited them to his band's concert that evening at ... Trinity! The band, Town Hall, an indie folk/ rock group (http:/ www.town hall.bandcamp.com) , performed for the arriving students at the Fred PFeil dormitory (http:ffwww. thefredcommunity.comfabout/). "What a treat," Tom said, "to be back at Trinity surrounded by students from classes that will graduate more tl1an 40 yea rs after ours, in a setting hon oring a professo r who clearl y made an extraordinary contribution to the lives of his students and the Hartford community." In April, Tom gave a presentation at Trinity from hi s book Called to Serve: Stories ofMen and Women Catifronted by tlte Viettlam War Drift. Peter Jessop '72, a subject in the book, accompanied him. The book is now available through Amazon and on Kindle; it's also being adapted into a play by award-win ning playwright, Peter Snoad. (Just to let you know, I have been interviewed by Peter Snoad and I am a character in this play.) Diane Clancy, Professor Emeritus George Higgins, and Jack Anderson '70, were in the audience.

FAVORITE TRINITY MEMORY: I used to travel all over the country to perform with The Pipes. One of the most memorable trips was during my freshman year when we drove a 1956 Mercedes from Ithaca, New York, all the way down to Miami, Forido.

REPORTER: How did the economic crisis in Greece catch your attention? LAZARES: My heritage is Greek, and I maintain relationships with relatives and friends there, so I am naturally interested in what is happening. I know that Greece has some historically entrenched issues related to labor and political favoritism. Also around 2007 I was analyzing the assets of a Greek bank, and it became clear that the banking system there wasn't as robust as the banking system in the United States. The level at which assets were carried were not realistic.

he explained to me what they are trying to do, which is to bring together individuals of Greek heritage living in the United States, Australia, United Kingdom, and elsewhere to see if they could come up with solutions to the financial crisis. They managed to bring in former president Bill Clinton at the last moment, and Antonis Samaras, prime minister of Greece, was also present. REPORTER: f-low would you describe the crisis

in its current state, and what so lutions did you discuss at the summit? REPORTER: What do you think the U.S. and LAZARES: The focus was on how to get jobs

REPORTER: How did you come to participate

in the summit in Greece? LAZARES: A year ago I was asked to speak

at a forum hosted by an Athens-based group where Steve Forbes was the keynote speaker. I brought along some of my colleagues who had real professional expertise and perspectives that were outside of the country. Attending this event was the first step in getting involved with the summit, which was put together by the Hellenic Initiative. The Hellenic Initiative is a non-profit organization founded by Andrew Liveris, Chairman and CEO of The Dow Chemical Company; Muhtar Kent, Chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company; George David, Chairman of the Coca-Cola f-le ll enic Bottling Company; and George Stamas, Partner at Kirkland and Ellis LLP.

going and how to create some sense of hope. Generally speaking, the group agreed that austerity, while it is well inte ntioned , is not the best thing at this time. You ca n't take a country that has been operating under one system, dysfunctional as it is, for 40 or 50 years, and just overnight shut off the faucet. People have lost their jobs, and that causes political unrest. To complicate things further, the number-two political party in Greece right now is the Communist Party. Our fear is that austerity will be implemented to a point where people will jump on board with an extremist group. The biggest component is youth unemployment, which is approaching 50 percent, and that is a formula for disaster. So we discussed what members of the summit could do to help create enough small victories and opportunities for investment to give people a sense of hope.

the rest of the world can learn from what is happening in Greece? LAZARES: We must be cognizant of the fact

that the banking syste ms in all of Europe and the political systems are closely tied, but government policies are unable to directly deal with a broken banking system. Typically, a country has the ability to print money and inflate its way out of its debt, which is not the case in Greece. Breaking up the Eurozone would create a level of uncertainty that would be devastating to the European community and the worldwide economy. At the same time, disruption in banking and political systems in Greece leaves spots for radical politicians to gain power. We must be careful not to put the blame on the people as that may force them into positions that could be politically explosive.

Founded in 19 07, the school serves approximately 1,000 students from K- 12 and is adjacent to the American University of Beirut. Should be an exciting new chapter! Peter Wheelwright's debut novel, As It Is on Earth, has been released by Fomite Press. Peter describes it as "a tale of New England," and advises that "the Trinity Coll ege campus is only thinly disguised." Peter is associate professor at the School of Constructed Environments at Parsons, the New School for Design at New School Unive rsity Bill Miller and spouse had a book party for Peter shortly after the book was published (by th e way, it's avajJable on Amazon) . Bill reports a lot of Trinity people atte nded , including Elizabeth Beautyman, Hilary Lewis, and Tim Wallach , all from our class. Others in attendance from our "era" included Mel Kendrick '71 , Scott Phillips '71, Christie Nichols '73, Patrick and Jane Cu rl ey '73, and Kathy Harris '73- Bill states that everyone had lots of fun visiting and catching up with each other. Yet another classmate made his first foray into the world of fiction . John Kirshon published his first novel, An American Centllry. John has retired from 40 years in journalism. He had worked at the Associated Press, CBS News, and the New York Times. He had also served as executive ed itor of Chronicle rf the Twentieth Century and as erutorin -chief of Chronicle of America.Both are best-sell ing illustrated history books.

Tom gave a lecture o n the themes oflaw and equity in Merchant of Venice and Measure for Measure at the fellowship's annual conference in Pasadena. Tom, an appellate attorney, recently started a new job in the appellate division of Conroy Simberg, a private law firm . Finally, Homecoming Weekend was November 2 - 4, 2012. Trinity played Amherst on a sparkli ng New England Autumn football afternoon and came from behilld to win 32-20, thereby assu ring that it will at least share, if not win outright, the NESCAC Championship for tills year. C lassmates encountered during the festive afternoon included Peter Blum, Rob Lawrence, and Ray Goldsich (Dunaway) .

Please continue to let us know about events, developments, activities, and classmates encountered.

She joined Columbia University on September 1 as the Director of the Columbi a Global Center/ East Asia, based in Beijing. Tills is one of eight inter connected global centers around the world (in Rio, Santiago, Mwnbaj, Nairobi, Istanbul, Amman, Paris, and Beijing) wo rking on issues of global concern and developing a new approach to global learning. Joan's daughter, Rosie, a junior at University of Michigan, is studying Chinese in Beijing this semester and keeping her company. Son Isaac, a high school senior at Wellesley High School, is finishing up and he and Joan's husband Mark will join her next swnmer, so she's back and forth a lot this year. She hopes to see Trinity friends - e- majl

Consie Prout Be rghausen and Ted had brwKh with Chris Mooney this past July in Louisville. They'd gathered the clan for their oldest son's wedding, with a fly-in from Dr. Von Gryska, whom they also saw in Chathan1, MA, last summer for fishing, dinner, and to help plan his daughter's wedding. Peg Holmes Gryska also came to visit the Berghausens in C hatham for some girl time. Chris Mooney's daughter, Elizabeth, Trinity 'o6 PBK, has announced her engagement to Kyle Garvey 'os, and they are to be wed in Vermont next August. Anne Warrington Wilson sends greetings. She and Gene just sent twin daughters East to col lege- one to Philly and one to D.C. They are excited to be away from parents and each other. Anne remembers the thrill of freshman independence. Gene is long retired and teames in a GE 0 school, and she serves in Episcopal churches arou nd Cincinnati, and - like many of us- notes that the inmates (two cats and two dogs) run the asylum. Kathy l=ehrman's quick note: H ad a great rime in England this summer with Ann Conve ry '74 presenting at the John Moores University on using media training to teach persuasion.

I had to withstand some abuse from Rick Hazelton a year ago when Bowdoin beat the typically tough Bantams 1-0 with a late goal from Ella. Speaking of Rick, it's an1azing how he helped surmount the physical limitations of the College to create a top- notch athletic facility. "The four autumns spent following Ella were shared with another Bantam parent, Ro (Spier) French '81 , whose daughter, Emily, was a fellow field hockey stalwart for the Polar Bears.

. As I, Scott Lewis, your Class Secretary, prepare this report, we in the Northeast just survived the "super storm" Sandy My family was fortunate. Our hearts and prayers go out to all those who have suffered and are suffering. It was quite a storm. It makes the words "cUmate change" seem ~oo gentle of a term to define what is happen mg to our planet. On a lighter note, I have been asked to continue in my role as president of The Trinity Club of Hartford. I run into a few of our classmates at the Club's events, which include ice skating, fly fishing, and educational social events. And: my law practice continues to be very busy and mterestmg.

Dwight ha~ been married for 31 years and has two grown children - a son who has an MBA and is a consultant with HCL and a daughter who is a scuba dive instructor in Kona, HI. He says he has been greatly blessed. The education that he received while at Trinity prepared him well for good life and for a great career. Robert Paskowitz asked me to tell our classmates that he performed on the alto and soprano saxopho~es at the Summer 2012 Monday Night Jazz Senes that was held in Bushnell Park. He fronted for Latin ~arter Jazz Collective, a band he founded back in the late 1990s.

He is enjoying this year's Bantam football team in their quest for an undefeated

As Gerr; and Ius wife, Nancy, approach the ends of their respective teaching careers, their two daughters, Jeanme and Knsten, are in their first few years of their own teaching careers. I guess it's in the genes! By the way, I saw Gerry in person at the beginning of this summer at a Trinity Club event. He looks the same as ever. He takes good care of htmself wim cycling and fly-fishing. Michael Roy is living in West Hartford, CT, and is in his 10tl1 year teaching Latin and is his second year at Litchfield High School. Mike is also the curriculum coordinator for world languages at Litchfield High School and Middle Smool. He enjoys teaching much more than his former career me practice of law. He remembers those good old days 111 Jarv1s Hall. He and his wife, Gail '81, are still seeing Neil Young every chance they get. His mere mention of Neil Young made me remember the night during our freshman year that Mike and I drove to a Neil Young concert in New Haven using a U - Haul Moving Van to transport a bw1ci1 of our fellow classmates, who were stuffed into me back of me _van's closed cargo area for the long, dark tnp, wtm only a few flimsy mattresses for protection.

She is still dancing several times a week and has resumed playing the fiddle after a 40-year hiatus. Allen Church wrote me to say that it's "stick season" in nortl1ern Vermont. At his wife, Nina Clark's, suggestion mey hiked the rim of me Sterling Range which is just west of meir village home. Allen prefers the woods when you can see the trees mrough the forest. Nina teaches in a nearby district, and Allen meets wim his fiddle and guitar students in their home studio. Their two .sons are doing well and, like many of you, mey ve had tO adJUSt tO one of meir children Jiving on the opposite coast.

Hope this finds you well and that those affected by Sandy ace on their way to repair and recovery. There were lots of mentions of how the storm touched everyone in submissions for this issue. My family in New Jersey fared pretty well, minimal damage to my parents' house at the Jersey shore, although at one point the house was completely surrounded by water from the bay at the end of the street and the canal behind their house.

"Better yet, Connectiket." This time around , we contacted Class of '84 alums who refused to cut the cord and opted to remain in the Constitution State in perpetuity. Why is that, we wondered> An affinity for blue and white license plates? Inability to purge the terms "package store" and "grinder" from their vocabulary> The incomparable Bunny Burger at Makris Diner> Maybe it's that closet- full of obsolete Hartford Whalers attire. Or an embarrassing gambling addiction spawned by the Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods casinos. Perhaps the reason involves blind loyalty to the DJs at WCCC, WHCN, and WPLR. Or the sweet acoma of freshly- minted insurance in the air. Worse, it may be a stubborn refusal to abandon hope that academic conrse credits from Trin will someday be honored by Yale, allowing the college transfer process to reach fruition.

There were three things on people's minds as scoured for n ews late last October: Sandy, the elecrion, and turning so. Depending on where you live- geographically, politicall y, and emotion -

ally- you might still be coming to terms with each milestone. Mark Lee, writing from Connecticut, went at least five days without electric power, heat, or water and was forced to throw away four large garbage bags full. Bonnie Adams posted some pictures of shoreline destruction that were painful for anyone with an affi ni ty for the Jersey shore. To any and all , I hope your losses were minimal and recovery has advanced well in these months. But of course, life goes on. Jane McDonough Boyer is at U RS (Baltimore Office). Among her myriad duties is, believe it or not, quality assurance/ quality control for pipeline and manhole inspections. She commented, " Not glamorous , but necessary and pays the bills!" Amo ng her man y extra- profess ional activi ties are the Chesapeake Section of the American Water Works Association, the Chesapeake Water Envi ronment Association, where she is treasurer, and chairing the Tri -Association Conference, whic h features 120 exhi bitors and is attended by over Boo . Her daughter, Jordan, 18, is a senior at The Bryn Mawr School and was eagerly awaiting news on early decision application at her no. 1 choice. After over 20 years, Martha Bonneville Bacigalupo decided it was time to write in. With the big s-o closing in, she achieved her goal of completing a Half lronman. "Lots of fun but the trajning is entirely too time -consuming," she said, so it is back to the shorter distances for now. She has done a fair number of shorter triathlons over the years (O lympic and Sp rint). Pretry good for an o ld gal, Martha! She obviously has a husband who is very supportive of her training. Martha also works at Howland Capital, a private investment advisory firm , in Boston, and has two children, ages seve n and 11. "After reading this column for many years, I'm convinced I have the youngest kjds out there," she sajd. Good question. I wonder which of us get that prize. A more frequent guest in thi s space is Chris Hogan, who wrote, "All is well thankfully. I just sold a show I've bee n working for a few months to Fox. I miss acting but really like writing." He and his wife Elizabeth were lookjng forward to celebrati ng their lOth an niversary in NYC with John Conway, Jeon-Luc Helson, Bill Detwiler,

and other Trin alums. Son Vail is four-and -a- half "We walk him to school every day- often the most en lightening conversation of my day. He's a blonde, long- haired surfer boy. tall for hi s age, loquacious, ever fascinating, and totall y exhausti ng," he wrote. Ken l=esto's 2-year-o ld son is continuing to pursue acting. His director, someone with Broadway experience, insisted to Ken, "No, you don 't understand , he's really good!" To which the proud dad thought, "No, I think I unde rstand ." As with man y a runner, Sandy scuttled his plans for the NYC marathon (number 13 for Ken) . His JO -year-old is outrW1ning him in sK road races. Ken saw Prof Gerry Meshell 's musical when it had its YC premiere last spring. Hjs mini review: "A very well -conceived and finely-executed show with some talented kjds." On the career front, his startup (in the mobile payme nts technology space) was acquired by Coogle, so he works for "the big G" now." Loving it there too ... really have to say that, as far as workplaces go, Coogle is Emerald City, and every place else is Kansas (no offense to Kansas) ."

My Capitol Hill neighbor, Keith Waehrer, whom I never see, like me, got through Sandy With only a minor leak. However, almost two years ago, he bought a waterfront place in Maryland and was hoping all was well there. He and his ';ife have two spirited daughters, ages 11 and 13- He s been domg antitrust economics now for almost 14 years, first for the Department of Justice and now for a private consulting firm . He's also stili playing ice hockey, but concedes, "My high school era shoulder pads are older than many of my teammates. Perhaps I will (not) join the over-so league next year." L?ok to Gordie Howe for inspiration, Ke1th! Bes1des running into me every few years, he sees Martin Bihl now and again when he comes to Washmgton. I enjoyed the Election Day happiness Jeff Kise, Alison Berlinger Holland, and many of you shared as your children cast ballots for the first tim e. That was a hopeful way to end a very long campaign. Karen Refalvy Lejeal developed a strong friendship with TIVO as ads saturated the airwaves in battleground Colorado. Many teachable moments for her IS -year-old son, Evan, who is taking U.S. government. A:; for her other two sons, Matt (20) is currently purswng his professional pilots degree and Ryan (18) is a freshman at University of Northern Colorado. It could be up to Evan to be the third generation at Trinity. Karen 's dad was C lass of '61. Ever the fitness devotee, she does Boot Camp three days a week, plays tenni s two or three times a week, and take a Pilates class once a week. As ski season approached, she would be more than ready. Last year, she went Heli - Skiing on an all -women trip called C hicks in a Chopper in British Columbia. She's looking forward to more of that untouched powde r IO,OOO feet up for her soth. As if that isn 't enough, she is starting to turn her pass ion for photography into a business. Travel in recent years included a trip to her ancestral homeland of Hungary, then Croatia, and a month in Hawaii. Your class secretary spent several days trekking in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco with son Lincoln, 12. My wife and daughter had a fantastic oppornmity to travel in northern India for two weeks so we boys pursued our own adventure 111 the soaks of Marrakesh and rustic Berber villages. Buffeted by storms (political and otherwise) , bruised and battered from checking on the ice, being dropped from helicopters, or runni~g ridicu lous distances , and bolstered by our kids, little and big, we forge ahead into our fiftie s with gusto '8sers Keep the news coming.

Phoebe Madden '87 DEGREE: B.A. in theater and dance, Phi Beta Kappa; M.A. in teaching from Manhattanville College JOB TITLE: Professional singer, actress, and voice-coach; long-time collaborator with Trinity Professor of Music Gerald Meshell

FAVORITE TRINITY MEMORY: I met my husband , Thomas Madden '86, doing a show at Trinity under the direction of Gerry Meshell. It was Gilbert and Sullivan's Ruddigore. I was cast as the madwoman, and Tom was cast as a knight in shining armor-it has kind of been a metaphor of our relationship ever since! We've been married for 16 years and have three children, and I can think of countless other couples who met on stage at Trinity.

REPORTER: 1-low did you become involved in music and theater? MADDEN: I have known that I wanted to be an actress since I was a little girl. My grandmother was a singer and a graduate of Vassar College, and my mother is an actress and also a graduate of Vassar. I broke the mold and came to Trinity, and I'm so glad I did. I was in over 16 productions-both dramatic and musical theater-and gained tons of experience. At other schools, you can't even get on stage during your first year. Most important to me was my relationship with my professors, particularly Gerald Meshell. 1-l is constant support has sustained me in tough times during my professional journey, and my successes have largely been because of his faith in me. REPORTER: 1-low has your relationship with Gerry Meshell changed over the years? MADDEN: I auditioned for Gerry within days of arriving at Trinity, and I was cast in the fall musical revue. It wasn't until later when I started working professionally that I realized that Gerry's students are his family. 1-le pours a tremendous amount of his knowledge and energy into his students, and he makes an effort to nurture these relationships long after they graduate. While I was working in New York and regional theater Gerry would came to support me in many professional productions. !=or example, in September 2009 at the Summers End Concert he sat in the front row with my family when I was the featured soloist with the Rhode Island Philharmonic. I moved to Rhode Island about a decade ago with my husband, Tom Madden '86, who practices law in Providence and teaches ethics at Providence College. A few years after, Gerry also moved closer to Rhode Island. Our proximity to each other has afforded us more opportunities to collaborate. In the past five

TRI N ITY REPORTER

witlter 13

years, Gerry and I recorded two CDs together, Phoebe Sings Broadway (2008) and Phoebe in Love (2011). I am proud of these recordings. We also have performed a series of concerts at The Towers in Narragansett, Rl, called Broadway at the Towers: Phoebe Madden and Friends , which involved other Trinity alums-Patrick Greene '07, Devin Romanul '07, Michael Ersevim '91, and [William] Lee Goldman '91. In June 2012, we had the joy of performing a concert together at the Chapel during Reunion, which marked Gerry's 35th year at the College. At the end of the concert my student, Rachel Rossetti, joined us for the encore. She is now a performing freshman at Trinity and Gerry is her adviser. It feels like a full circle.

REPORTER: What do you take away from your collaborations with Gerry? MADDEN: At Trin ity, Gerry taught us about work ethic, respecting the process and actually learning the material, being prompt and focused , and having high standards. 1-le leads by example. Not everyone recei ves that kind of training at a liberal arts college. With the transient lifestyle of an actress, it has been immeasurably helpful to have a long and enduring relationship with my professor. 1-le's also the best in the busine ss. I speak for many when I say that Gerry is a brilliant accompanist. I've trained with amazing people on Broadway, but Gerry listens and follows in such a way that there is complete trust. As a singer I try to trust my instincts and take risks, and that is easy for me to do with Gerry at the piano because I know that he will be right with me. It allows us to really interpret a song. REPORTER: As a teacher yourself, what wisdom do you try to pa ss on to your students?

MADDEN: You have to be well-rounded to be successful. Don't just focus on one thing, but learn to do it all-sing, act, dance, write, etc. The more strings to your bow, the more opportunities you will be able to take advantage of later. Another important point is to respect the collaborative process. !-lave respect and love for your mentors and your peers. Theater at its best can be the most ensemble-oriented kind. of work I can think of. Lastly, it is essential to trust yourself. REPORTER: Are there any new professional areas that you would like to pursue? MADDEN: I am actually starting a new leg of my career. I recently become involved with the Greenwich Odeum in Rhode Island, a theater that is about to reopen at the beginning of 2013. I'm on the planning committee of the Odeum, which means that I will not only perform at the theater but also be a part of its leadership. This is a very exciting time for us because we will mount and host an array of productions: classical pieces, musical theater, folk, rock, Irish, etc. We are all big believers in celebrating new pieces in American musical theater and appreciating a mix of styles and genres. I hope to involve to more Trinity alumni in the theater as we move forward . Moreover, on our upcoming opening night gala, Gerry will rush to Rhode Island from his day-long rehearsals at Trinity to accompany me in an original number for an eight o'clock curtain. We wouldn't have it any other way.

Kaitlin McDermott was running a big donation drive through McDermott dealership for Sandy victims and had a huge truck of donations delivered to those hit by the storm at points of most need in Far Rockaways, Long Beach, Staten Island, etc. I am really impressed with her energy in how quickly she got that effort off of the ground. We know some pretty amazing individuals who we gradu ated with! I feel blessed to know them ali!" Kudos to Kaitlin for her efforts. Kaitlin lives in Madison, CT, with he r two sons, David (rs) and Chase (12) . Also in Co nnecticut is Malcolm Miller. He started a new job last spru1g at the Greenwich, CT, based Maxum Petroleum where he heads the company's treasury and investor relations func tion.

July 2012. The fami.lies' children were also there, making for a busy and fun weekend full of sand, sw1, and lobsters. They celebrated Beka's birthday with sangria. Henry is a teacher at a private school in Florida. Beka is an English and special education teacher in Ridgewood High School in NJ and Jaso n is a partner in one of the leadillg social media companies in the beer, wine, and spirits illdustry called DrinkTwits. They run simultaneous tastings in hundreds of locations for the brands they rep rese nt. The events are all connected through meir Twitter- powered platform. It was great to hear from Val Miller, who is living the high life in Europe. She writes, " Living ill Geneva, working at Ralph Lauren Headquarters. I organize special marketing events throughout Europe. I handle our Wimbledon activities and thi s past summer I dressed the International Olympic Committee in London for their Ralph Lauren uniforms (kings, princes, princesses, sheiks, heads of state, O lympic gold - willning athletes) . Got summoned to Buckingham Palace for Princess Anne, then dressed some of our Olympic athletes for their opening ce remony outfits, including the entire U.S. basketball team ....Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Andre Iguadola, etc. While there, I hung out with Enrico Brosio '92, who has his own consulting firm and is married to the ultra-chic Gwen who is a designer at Burberry.

Russ Kauff: "After over a decade at Okemo Mountain Resort in a variety of roles, I'm very excited to be hard at work in my new position as the director of the Sugarbush Ski & Ride School. It's a big challenge to take on in such an iconic resort but it's a remarkable opportunity.

Jon Buoni: "I was pleased to catch up with classmates Neil Patel and Tucker Carlson, who were hard at work this election cycle spearheading their wildly success ful news site, The Daily Caller (dailycaller.com) . No matter what your political views are, you have to be impressed with the launch of their well -crafted Web site, which has grown to more than 8 million unique visitors per month in just over two years, manks ill part to its in -depth investigations and breaking stories.

class notes

David Weinstein '90, M.D., M .M.Sc. DEGREE: B.S. in biology; M.D., Harvard University; M.M.Sc., Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology

JOB TITLE: Professor of endocrinology, Director of the Glycogen Storage Disease Program, and Associate Program Director for Research, University of f:lorida College of Medicine; recent recipient of the Order of the Smile award .

FAVORITE TRINITY MEMORY: I have so many wonderful memories. The first that comes to mind is meeting my wife (Geraldine Munsayac Weinstein '90). I also have fantastic memories of the times that the science students spent together in the Jacobs Life Sciences Center. It wasn't just about work. It was a remarkable group of people who really supported each other. I am thrilled with the success our entire group has achieved.

REPORTER: What is glycogen storage disease?

WEINSTEIN: Normally when we eat a meal our bodies store sugar and use it during times of fasting. ~or children affected by glycogen storage disease, sugar is stored but cannot get out. Any time they do not eat, their blood sugar falls dangerously low. The disease is genetic and is relatively rare-it affects approximately one in 100,000 children worldwide. When I first started working with GSD, patients were not expected to live past childhood without a liver transplant. Administration of regular doses of cornstarch, which metabolizes slower than other sugars, can help to treat symptoms of GSD. It has gotten to the point now that, with proper care, patents are expected to do well. Still in many places outside of the U.S. the prognosis is very poor. REPORTER: What drove you to study GSD? WEINSTEIN: I first heard of it through Trinity Professor ~meritus of Biology John Simmons, who referenced GSD when he taught courses in endocrinology. I was medically exposed to it between 1994 and 1998 when I was working at Children's Hospital Boston. In 1998, I was invited to a national conference on the subject, and I was shocked by the state of care for people with this disorder. There had not been any clinical ad va nces for 16 years because there was just was no financial support or glamor in studying it. As a result of the lack of research and understanding, many children were suffering or even dying. At that conference, I decided that these children needed an advocate, and I have been dedicating myself to this condition for the past 14 years.

since the support did not exist in Boston. In 2005 I moved from Boston to the Uni versi ty of ~lorida, where I had the opportunity to create a research program from scratch. The move to ~lorida allowed me to try to create the Disney World of health care for children and adults with GSD. We have built the largest clinical and research program for GSD, and the program follows children and adults from 36 counties. I also wanted to create a charitable arm for the program to make sure that every child with this d isease has access to quality medical care. This became the Alyssa's Angel ~und , named for one of my patients who lives in Hartford and whose family helped establish the charity. We receive a great deal of support from the Hartford community, particularly the Mandell Jewish Community Center of Greater Hartford. Through this generosity, we ha ve been able to care for children on nearly every continent, and no one gets turned away.

REPORTER: What was the path that led you to a career in medical research?

WEINSTEIN: I was interested in medicine when I was young, and at the age of 12 I became a routine volunteer for a group in Miami that was studying pulmonary medicine. I asked a lot of questions, and the resea rchers liked my suggestions. I was offered a job and became published at the age of 14. By the time I entered Trinity, I had developed an interest in studying Alzheimer's disease. I eventually went to study at Harvard University, where I decided that I could do more by studying pediatrics. I really believe that the success I had is due to my experience at Trinity.

REPORTER: What did you find outstanding REPORTER: How did your program at the University of ~lorida develop?

WE INSTEIN: One of the reasons I chose Trinity

WEINSTEIN: My ultimate goal is to cure glycogen storage disease, and we are working on gene therapy. Before we can try this in humans, testing in animals with the disease must occur. I was interested in pursuing gene therapy on dogs that naturally have glycogen storage disease. In order to do this, I needed to find an institution that also had a veterinary school,

was the small environment, which afforded a lot of opportunities. I started doing research in the first week of my freshman year in Professor Simmons's lab, and I continued to do so during my entire undergraduate career. As a senior I received funding from the office of then-President Tom Gerety, which gave me a budget and lab space to conduct independent research.

The work that resulted was recognized by the Gerontological Society of America with an award for outstanding research in the field of gerontology by an undergraduate or graduate student. The work was also recognized with a Barry Goldwater Scholarship, and the success allowed me to get lab space at Massachusetts General Hospital when I moved to Boston. None of that would have been possible if I didn't receive the support and encouragement at Trinity.

REPORTER: What is the Order of the Smile award and how were you nominated? WEINSTEIN: It is an international humanitarian award given by children to adults in recognition of their service to children. Prior winners include Pope John Paul II , Mother Teresa, and Nelson Mandela. I will be traveling to Poland to receive the award in the summer of 2013. I was nominated due to the efforts of a girl who lives in Poland that I treated. She went on to medical school, where she realized how ill she had been and how far she had come. She wanted to do something to thank me for helping her. She collected letters from over 250 people from 30 countries-all patients who had been helped by our services-and submitted the letters to the award coordinators. REPORTER: How does it feel to be recognized in this way by your patients?

WEINSTEIN: It means a lot that my patients would go out of their way to do this. It is special to be recognized for clinical work. People praise research all the time, but very few organizations recognize people for taking care of other people. I am extremely honored.

Winter to the Class of 200 1! Let's ge t right into it. Caroline (Montgelas) and Scott Elwell we lcomed their seco nd d aughter, C hristina Trowbridge Elwell on August 16. C hri sty joins big sister Eliza- rll ey love being a famil y of four! The coupl e recently celebrated Sco tt's biriliday with fellow G reenwich residents Shannon Daly and

Brian Allen. Zoe Kretzschmar reports in from london,

where she is running an innovation consultancy called Fearlessly Frank- needless to say, this keeps her on the move throughout Europe quite a bit. Zoe headed to Australia for Christmas and New Year's to take a break from it all. Sarah (Joyce) Genau reports that she, her husband, Eric, and their son, Will, welcomed the fourth membe r of their family- a daughter, Alexandra Harding, in August. In other news, Rebecca (l-lomer-Smith) and Will Dearie are thrilled at the arrival of their third child - a son, Charles Homer, in October. Charles joins older sister lillian and big brother Willie in San Francisco. Carrie (l-laslett) and Dan Kasper have made a few life changes since Reunion. Dan moved to Colorado in September of 2011 , leaving the Washington Nationals afrer five - plus years (Go Nats!) to take a content creation position with Vail Resorts. Carrie remained in Washington to complete the 2011 - 12 school year at Georgetown Day School. She then moved out to Denver in June and absolutely loves it! Traveling around Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado this summer gave her an incredible appreciation for the mountains. Can't wait for the snow to fall! They miss their friends and family back East but hope they will all come for a visit. Carrie continues to teach, tutor and began working with Graland Country Day, a great school in Denver. They recently hosted Melissa (Vogel) McViney while she was out there on a work trip. Sadly, she had to travel without her entourage, hubbie Brian McViney and their amazing daughter Charlotte. On a recent trip to New York, Carrie and Dan caught up with his cousin, Matt Sharnoff 'oo, his wife, Rebecca, and their son, Nicholas, who is just awesome. They were also able to meet Megan l-leanue's second daughter, leela, who is the sweetest, and see her daughter, Mia, embrace her big sister role. Out in Park City, Carrie and Dan ran into Rob Morse at The Spur- always great to see him! Dan last ran into Morse spring skiing with Regan Schmergel '02. Carrie caught up with Carla Boecklin a couple times this summer. Carla is busy becoming the best photographer in the Park City area. I attended the opening of one of her exhibits, which was such fun . She is also a spectacular wedding photographer- she shot a friend 's wedding and I had the chance to see her in action! If anyone needs a photographer in the Park City area, or wants to fly her out- do it! So much to celebrate and be thankful for, especially after all that has happened on the East Coast. We do hope all our classmates in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Massachusetts who weathered Sandy are okay and recovering Lastly, I ask all classmates to read the Charter Committee's recommendations to the school and President Jones' report. The administration is making some good improvements and needed changes, but they are simultaneously trying to eradicate all single-sex social organizations. This will strip students of the right to create the social organizations they determine best for the community. I respect that my classmates have varied opinions of Greek organizations, but to say the only way to create an alternative social scene is

The Smith plan offers another course of action and I encourage you to read that as well. We need more bantam voices to be heard in helping to shape the future of Trinityembracing change while preserving tradition and history This is about more than the Greek system, this is an attack on the charter of the college and the students' rights. I encourage everyone to read the report and be a part of the discussion! Visit the Facebook page 'Alumni for a Better Trinity College' for more info. Hope all is well with you!

High School." It premiered at the Midtown International Theater Festival here in Manhattan to great reviews and it has been nominated as one of the Best Productions of the 2012 festival. In attendance at the show was Jeanette's freshman roommate, Shayla Titley, and Trinity Professor Gerry Meshell. Also in ew York, Jonathan Morley is working for Violin Memory and recently got engaged to Michele Olsen, and they have a wedding planned for June 2013 in the New York area. Way out in the Southwest, Rishi Popat writes that he got engaged to Bansi Vallabh in Sedona, AZ, on October 20.

rinity's students and faculty and their many achievements inspire, year after year, the leadership support of Long Walk Societies (LWS) members. In 2011-2012, LWS gifts accounted for 82 percent of the 2012 Trinity College Fund and more than 90 percent of overall contributions to the College. In turn, all those in the campus community are encouraged and sustained each year by the generosity of those who make Trinity a priority in their philanthropy. The Long Walk Societies bring together generations of alumni, parents, and friends of the College-veteran leaders and emerging volunteers-to support every aspect of academic and student life. The resources provided through their loyalty and dedication serve to preserve and enhance the quality of the Trinity experience and to represent for each rising generation the value and importance of sustaining what is most distinctive about life along the Long Walk. You are invited t o j o in o r r enew your membership in t he Lon g Walk Societies. Please make your gift today at www. trincoll. edu/ givingtotrinity or by calling us at (800) 771-6184. And mark your calendar for the LWS Gala at the New York Public Library on April 10, 2013!
