Dr. Jeff Brown, a board-certified family practitioner, has been writing about some flaws in medical training for years in his column in physiciansmoneydigest.com. So it’s no surprise that he was asked to lead a consulting team from Stanford Business School that is analyzing and proposing a restructuring of the Stanford Medical School.


Jeff also has been on the board of the Silicon Valley Dartmouth Alumni Club, which ran 181 events (no typo) last year to win the College’s Large Club of the Year Award (for the third time!).


Scott Cheyne, who spent 32 years at the respected Boston ad agency Hill, Holliday, Connors, Cosmopulos, now lends his expertise to the board of governors of Salem Country Club in Peabody, Massachusetts, and spends time with 6-year-old grandson Jonathan, presumably working on his short game.


During Memorial Day Jim Cason participated in the second Paraguayan Talent Show in Miami. He sang three songs in Guarani, the Indian language spoken by most Paraguayans. One, “Campo Jurado,” he wrote himself. You can listen to it on iTunes, with the proceeds going to teach English to poor but high-achieving Paraguayan kids. 


Bob Cohn, senior consumer marketing director for Bonnier Corp. and ace co-class newsletter editor with Erv Burkholder, won the 2013 Lee C. Williams Award from the Fulfillment Management Association. The award is for “outstanding contribution to the periodical publishing circulation field through a long-time, recognizable career.” For the past six years Bob, who has been in the magazine circulation business for nearly 40 years, directs all marketing functions for Popular Science, Popular Photography and Field & Stream, among other brands.


Longevity? Alan Rottenberg has been with the Boston law firm of Goulston & Storrs for 44 years. And he’s still got what it takes, having been named to the 2013 list of “America’s Leading Business Lawyers” by Chambers USA—for the 10th time.


Alan also hosted a mini-reunion lunch in May, organized by class president Al Keiller, for 25 ’66s in a conference room overlooking Boston Harbor. Attendees, coming from as close as around the corner and as far as California, included Ted Amaral, Pete Barber, Mark Blanchard, Bob Cowden, David Cross, Paul Doscher, Jim Everett, Jeff Gilbert, Don Glazer, David Godine, Larry Goss, David Johnston, Gary Jefferson, Terry Lowd, Albie MacDonald, Greg McGregor, Mike McConnell, Pat Norton, Ken Reiber, Barry Ripley, Allan Ryan, Chuck Sherman and Bill Todd.


Also on hand was David Johnston, who traveled from Hartford, Connecticut. David retired from the Casey Foundation in 2011, where he helped foster youth advance their “life skills learning.” Of course, he finds himself busier than ever working now to help challenged youth stay in school as director of the Center for Higher Education Retention, which aims to reduce the dropout rate and help more kids benefit from higher education. David’s wife of 44 years, Hera, is a practicing psychiatrist, and their four kids, scattered from med school at UConn to the Amazon basin, are doing fine.
