Class Note 1966
Issue
July-August 2022
Class of ’66ers continue to share the one or two things they are most thankful for. Space restrictions require condensed versions here. Please see our class newsletter on our ’66 website for full and additional responses.
“Looking back now,” writes Dr. Tom Brady, founder and chairman emeritus of pioneering plastics packaging design company Plastic Technologies in Holland, Ohio, “I am increasingly thankful for growing up with parents, family, and friends and having educational, business, and social opportunities that probably fewer than 5 percent of the people on this planet had or will ever have.
“I like to say that I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time with the right training and that is indeed very true. My mission for this last chapter in My Journey (the name of my fourth book) is to do all that I can to help educate, train, and prepare others in my sphere of influence, including family, friends, and the children in our under-served communities to be able to take advantage when they find themselves in the right place at the right time.”
Mike Bromley, now living in Boise, Idaho, after running his own civil law practice in Colorado Springs, Colorado, for 30 years, reports, “I am most thankful for good health and the ability to enjoy it. Part of that is having friends and family; most especially my wonderful wife of 52 years, Rebecca, two terrific kids we enjoy spending time with, their spouses, and our 15-year-old granddaughter, who is well grounded for a fulfilling future.”
“I am most thankful to have been blessed with a long and rewarding life including family and friends,” writes Lee Beyer from New Hope, Pennsylvania. Lee built his Dartmouth engineering degree and experience with early College time-sharing into a career in information technology. “I am also thankful,” he adds, “to be able to give back by raising funds for Philadelphia’s Fox Chase Cancer Center on its board of associates. Speaking of thankful, when I was diagnosed with cancer Fox Chase Cancer Center immediately addressed it, and I am now cancer free.”
Dr. Bruce Berger estimates he participated in more than a quarter of a million patient visits during his 43-year dermatology practice in Princeton, New Jersey. Now Bruce and Barbara (married 54 years) spend six months in Naples, Florida, each year. “We are blessed,” Bruce reports, “with good health and a wonderful family and friends. As we all get older we have more time to review the wonderful four years we spent in Hanover. Life seemed so much simpler in the 1960s.”
Our sympathies to the families and friends of Tom Wilson, a farmer, and Richard Kornblum, an expert on manufacturing systems, who have both passed away.
