Class Note 1962
Issue
Nov - Dec 2017
A big, non-PC wah-hoo-wah thanking Paul Weinberg for completing his second exemplary tour as class secretary.
Our award-winning webmaster Peter Knight and wife Zaida live eight months a year in Rio de Janeiro; two in Deer Isle, Maine, where they see Peter’s siblings and organize small classmate reunions; about a month on the West Coast visiting children and grandchildren; and the rest traveling elsewhere. Last year Russia, Iran, Uruguay and Argentina; this year South Africa and Lisbon for the congress of the Basic Income Earth Network.
Peter now devotes his intellectual efforts to building a new global network (see sufficiency4sustainability.org), riding the waves of Copacabana on stand-up paddle boards and photography. Zaida is becoming an actress after more than 50 years teaching at all levels of the educational system between Brazil and United States.
Alan Dynner, diagnosed last October with acute myeloid leukemia, is positive and upbeat after four months of chemotherapy to kill the cancer cells and a successful stem-cell transfusion in April from a computer-selected German donor.
He reports: “With a new immature immune system I am very susceptible to infection and have to live in a sterile environment at home with a diet of well-cooked food and limited contact with people other than my wife, Lisa, who has taken great care of me and our home. I’ve made it through the first 16 weeks with just a few bumps in the road and now am feeling almost normal, going on bike rides and taking day trips around the area and enjoying life. Although there are several potentially fatal risks ahead, the doctors and I are elated with my progress and hopeful that I’ll recover fully.”
Co-tripmeisters Tom Komarek and Rog Usborne report 27 classmates plus spouses signed up for the “Rollin’ on the River” Mississippi cruise next April. Those considering joining the group should book soon, as available cabins are dwindling quickly.
Rog is pleased to report that Liz is on the mend following her mishap at the 55th reunion.
Dartmouth will be playing Brown, nationally televised, Fenway Park, 8 p.m. Friday, November 10. Tickets: redsox.com/gridiron.
