Anthony Bottone has been living in Washington State for the past 40 years except for a few years in Saipan, where he married Joan. Semiretired, practicing tele-psychiatry from home over the Internet in California and Washington states, Anthony enjoys working with teens and younger children. Joan still works as a nurse. “Humor can help get points across to recalcitrant patients who are perplexed. “When asked how many psychiatrists it takes to change a light bulb a dim light reminds me of my readings of the French physician, Rabelais. Only one psychiatrist is needed—but the light bulb has to really want to change.”
Bruce Clark and Carol were taking a three-month vacation in Folly Beach, South Carolina, and doing well, although Bruce was in the middle of a detoxification program where he took a DMSA pill for three days, drank one gallon of water for 14 days, and then repeated that program three times to rid himself of the lead he absorbed in applying bottom paint to their racing sailboat 30 years ago. All came out well.
Marty Budd is busier now than before retirement. He chairs the compensation committee of a public company (Atlantic Tele-Network Inc.), the investment committee of the Hartford Seminary, and the finance committee of the University Club in New York, and is also on the boards of two other nonprofits and the Connecticut Student Loan Authority. His wife says: “We used to work to get paid, now we pay to get work.”
Art Coburn spent the summer dealing with heart issues—atrial flutter—but is back in rhythm now and doing well. He goes to the gym several times a week and has been skiing regularly.
Geoff Moser retired to Montana from a 40-year career with West Coast fisheries to write poetry books (Dream Meadow Poems, available on Amazon) to keep his mind from going to gel. With all the talk of walls he was reminded of lines 32-34 from Robert Frost’s “Mending Wall”: “Before I built a wall I’d ask to know what I was walling in or walling out. And to whom I was like to give offence.”
