With our 55th reunion just around the corner, your classmates hope that you will make a big effort to attend. The class website is the place to go to review plans and the listing of those who plan to attend, although the list will obviously be ever evolving. The reunion planning committee, under the direction of Donna and John Ferries, has worked hard to have “something for everyone!” 


Joe Koucky was stimulated by one of the last Class Notes to write his “first and probably my only” letter setting forth his activities since graduation. After completing Tuck School in his senior year he went to the University of Michigan Law School. He passed the Illinois Bar on the first try and joined his dad’s office representing clients who were injured on the job. In 1975 he and Peg were married. They have two children: a son who recently married and a daughter who has a postdoctoral fellowship in clinical psychology, working at the Boston Veterans Administration and Boston University.


David Robinson has self-published five books. They include a combined memoir and photo essays of his four trips to Africa (1960) at the University of Ghana; 1963-65 working for Harvard and USAID building a secondary school in Nigeria; his 1998 return to Ghana and his 1999 return to Nigeria. He started photographing while in Nigeria and eventually switched from academics to photography. All his books are available at Blurb.com. You can search the bookstore under his name or see summaries on his website (www.davidrobinsonphotos.com). You will get a great description of David’s approach and see some truly wonderful photos from his 40-plus-year career.


Last fall the New Hampshire Pediatric Society named Bill Boyle as its Retired Pediatrician of the Year. Bill has been a pediatrician at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center since 1970. In addition to teaching, lecturing and writing, Bill is active in Hanover, where he was town health officer, director of the Hanover water works and remains the school physician for the Dresden School District.


Wally May reports that Cathy and he spend a lot of time at their lake house in Minnesota with their five grandchildren, plus golfing in the summer and cross-country skiing in the winter. He also plays piano and “makes things in his workshop.”


Doug Wheeler will be associated with the University of New Hampshire for 49 years this year as professor of history emeritus. Katie and he will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary the same month as our 55th reunion. 


Harvey Galper retired in 2012 after a 50-year career as an academic, including a stint on the economics faculty at Dartmouth and at the Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury. He then spent 25 years in private practice. It sounds as if retirement is only a word for Harvey, as he continues to work almost full-time at the Urban Institute (District of Columbia), a nonpartisan think tank that investigates and analyzes United States social and economic problems and issues.
