’Round the girdled earth they roam: Members of our class of 1964 have experienced a great many travels through the years. It has not been unusual for two or more of us to have been in the same place at the same time (discounting the Vietnam conflict). Some of these trips have had a purposeful rendezvous, but occasionally it has been a pure coincidence. Your co-secretaries have met a traveling classmate as far away as Cochin, India, and this column features a recent one: This past October, in the course of a shared meal at a safari camp in Botswana, Martha and Rob Goodman by chance struck up a conversation with Barry Pressman, M.D., and his wife, Sandy. The conversation turned to colleges, and Barry and Rob realized they were class of ’64 classmates. Barry is a radiologist specializing in imaging at world-renowned Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Rob is still practicing law in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Rob also reported on another encounter including dinner and drinks with a classmate—this one with Jay Evans and his wife, Hasty. As it turned out Jay and Hasty were nearby in Hampton Roads, Virginia, to pick up their boat before sailing down the intercoastal waterway to Florida for the season. Please write to tell us about your recent travels with or without a chance meeting with a classmate.We have with regret to report the passing of classmates Jay H. Meltzer, Edward Rubel, F. Lynn Bates,and Charles “Charlie” E. Greer.More information on these individuals will be found on the class website. Lastly, our class continues to contribute to the aid of Ukrainian refugees, including some 50 children, now in Piatra Neam, Romania. Those receiving our financial aid acknowledge with sincere appreciation these contributions. Our class also acknowledges contributions from members of the class of 1966 who have joined our initiative. The total receipts to date have reached more than $50,000, but the need remains and is real as this winter season progresses. The most efficient way to contribute is via www.paypal.com/paypalme/rccamena. Best wishes for 2023 to all.
