Class Note 1966
Issue
January-February 2023
Classmates continue to share what they are most thankful for as we head into the new year.
Ed Grew is research professor in earth sciences at the University of Maine and contributor to the discovery of seven new minerals, with “two more in the works.” He is thankful he was able to see his wife, Priscilla, a professor emeritus at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, for the first time in more than two pandemic-affected years at a conference in Denver in October.
Wells Dow, a retired teacher and ski instructor still into woodworking, is “thankful for my family, now counting 24!” That includes wife Elizabeth, five kids, and 12 grandchildren! Anyone have more?
Dr. Tom Clarke, retired nine years ago from his orthopedic surgeon practice in Springfield, Massachusetts, is thankful for two things: “First and foremost is the love of a wonderful family led by my beautiful wife, Donna. Second is having the privilege to provide pain relief and increased mobility to thousands of patients.”
When was the last time you hiked the 39-mile Kekekabic Trail in Minnesota? Dr. Peter Dorsen did it last summer and wrote about it in Silent Sports magazine. And look for some inspiration we could all use in Peter’s new book Men Over 60: Don’t Quit Now!
Inspired by mini-reunion chair Al Keiller, more than 20 classmates participated in Homecoming 2022 festivities in Hanover, including Sharon and Gary Broughton,Cynthia and Wally Buschman, Teresa and Robin Carpenter, Renuka and Steve Coles, Margo and Paul Doscher (who hosted brunch) Anne and Budge Gere, Penny and Jeff Gilbert, Rosie and Lewis Greenstein, Andrea and Gary Jefferson, Dave Johnston, Kathy and Wayne LoCurto, Elizabeth and Jim Lustenader, Augusta Pertrone and Rick MacMillan, Ken Meyercord, Myra and Hector Motroni, Anne and John Rollins, Karen and Bob Serenbetz, Mary and Brad Stein, and Steve Zegel.
It’s been a rough patch. Our sympathies to the family and friends of four classmates who recently passed—Dennis Kaufman, Michael McClain, Bob Nash, and Bruce Nisula. Find obits on the DAM website.
Best wishes for a healthy and happy 2023 to all.
