Class Note 1966
Issue
September-October 2023
Spotlight couple Dr. Dick Brown and Dr. Barb Stewart are retired veterinarians who raised three children on a small horse farm in southeast Pennsylvania. They have been involved in environmental initiatives for 40 years, including creating 40 acres of public parkland. As township supervisor for 18 years Dick has worked to preserve farmland and protect water resources.
Journalist and newspaper editor Peter Prichard’s first novel, Killing Grace, A Vietnam War Mystery, will be published in September by River Grove Books. Early reviews say it’s a terrific read. Available everywhere; more at killinggrace.org. Class president and computer pioneer John Rollins has found time to complete The History of Computing from Punch Cards to the Internet, an autobiography that begins with math major John’s work with Kemeny and Kurtz, coinventors of BASIC and runs through his 32-year career at Aztech Software.
First, we have a chance encounter. Dr. Jeff Brown, a Silicon Valley family medicine practitioner and talented painter (jeffcontemporaryoils.com), was surprised to meet his long-lost College roommate Dr. Dave King at a Dartmouth event. Says Jeff: “No word of, or from, him in over 50 years!” Turns out Dave is a retired urologist in the Bay Area.
Then we have a planned encounter. Anne and Ken Zuhr organized and hosted the annual class mini golf reunion in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, in May with Budge Gere, Jeff Gilbert, Bill Hayden, Al Keiller, Rick MacMillan, Tim Urban, and Neal Zimmerman all swinging away.
Ann and Dr. Rick Olsen, a professor of pharmacology at UCLA, traveled cross country to attend the graduation of their grandson, James Hood ’23, and caught up with local friends John Hughes, Ed Larner, Jim Lustenader, and Gus Southworth.
“I think we are leading in the grandchildren contest,” says Steve Lanfer, chairman of milk distributor Protein Holdings in Maine, and with good reason. He and Barbara now have a combined 14 grandchildren (eight genetically related to Steve) with two more on the way. Any challengers?
Clarification: Becky and Bill Gibson met in 1962 (not the 1970s) and married in 1967, with Tom Clarke one of ushers and witnesses. Everything else previously reported in last column is correct!
Stay safe and be well.
