Class Note 1966
Issue
January-February 2024
There’s probably no one else in the class working on the permitting process for offshore wind projects like Dr. William Bailey is or teaming with other scientists in Easton, Maryland, to run summer science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) projects for underprivileged children.
But a few of us may have shared one joyful experience with him. Bill and wife Joan were planning to spend a few weeks in early November babysitting two grandchildren while his son and daughter-in-law gave birth to their third child. “We are,” wrote Bill, “looking forward to enjoying those moments that bring joy to the heart in this time of world conflict.”
Classmates are on the go. After a long and successful career in public finance, Gundars Aperans has found more time to travel. This past summer he and wife Dace returned to Latvia, home of both of their parents, to attend the Latvian Youth Music Camp in the 800-year-old town of Sigulda and the 150-year-old Latvian Song and Dance Festival in Riga.
Dan Barnard, retired from the electrical lighting business, had to travel only about 80 miles to attend the recent North Mass second-floor reunion with Bob Brock, Bill Russo, and Peter Titcomb in Hanover. Dear friend Dick Birnie was “sorely” missed. Dan and Cindy did get to spend a week in the Virgin Islands with their two sons and their wives.
After seven years of service,art collector and donor Joe Barker concluded his term on the Hood Museum board only to find himself on the board of the American Friends of the Musée d’Orsay board. “Largely ceremonial,” Joe explains, “but does require a trip to Paris every year.” On this year’s trip in July Joe and wife Judy took their two granddaughters with them to the City of Lights.
Retired foreign service officer Martin Adler already lives in paradise—recovering Maui, Hawaii—where he manages property, interprets for the court in Spanish and Portuguese, swims, does yoga, and studies Mandarin. Martin and wife Helida, born in Brazil, are looking forward to taking a year-end 2023 family cruise to Rio.
Our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of attorney and conservationist Hank Phibbs and financial analyst and community leader Robin Carpenter, who both passed away in early October.
