Class Note 1971
Issue
Greetings from sunny Lake Tahoe, California. The annual San Francisco and New York City dinners were well attended. San Francisco attendees included Ruth and Dick Wenzel, Beth and John Eaton, Meg and Sam Cuddeback, Janet and Albert Lamarre, Willis Newton, Malcolm Jones and Bob Moore. Sam had his contract renewed recently as the head of Drew School in San Francisco and was instrumental in raising money for a new auditorium that will be named after him. Dick Wenzel came out of retirement from Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) to be the project manager for the Merced-to-Fresno segment of the high-speed rail project connecting San Francisco and Los Angeles. Malcolm Jones had to take time out from his role as founder and principal of Trinity Partners (and Sperry Capital and Northwestern School of Management board) to have heart surgery. The operation was a success, with frequent updates coming through an interesting web application at carepages.com. Albert Lamarre retired from doing geology work at Lawrence Livermore two years ago and has been doing lots of traveling, including Guatemala and a spin with his Harley on the loneliest road in the United States (in Nevada). John Eaton reminded the dinner attendees about a question on a psychology test we took freshmen year which included the words “black and tary.” John’s wife, Beth, who is a psychologist, attempted to explain what the answers to that question meant. Willis Newton, who is executive vice president and chief financial officer of First Republic Bank (worked there for 32 years—impressive!) has been helping Sam with financing of the Drew School projects.
The New York dinner was held this year for the first time at the Yale Club. In attendance were classmates Greg Fell, Mike Furey, Mike Hannigan, Ron Harris, Wayne Hobin (and friend Candace Setzer), Bill Kennedy, Mike Maynard, Jeff McElnea (and wife Judy), Tom McGuane, Bob Peters, Tom Price (and wife Patricia), Janet Rosa, Pete Ruegger, John Shanahan, Frank Watkins and Richard Wooster. Class president Greg Fell provided an update on several class matters and Wayne Hobin spoke about our upcoming 40th reunion. In keeping with the tradition of asking undergraduates or recent graduates to speak to the group, Ron Harris’ niece, Ana Schumacher ’09, spoke about her very positive experiences at Dartmouth.
Bobby Schnabel was featured recently in the University Colorado computer science magazine. He retired after 30 years at CU to become the dean of the School of Informatics at Indiana University. CU didn’t let him get away completely since they made him an emeritus professor of computer science.
Anthony Sandberg was featured in an article in the Northern California Adventure Sports Journal. Anthony is the founder of the OCSC Sailing School and Club based in the Berkeley (California) Marina, which has been teaching people to sail for 31 years. Anthony has been on a mission to democratize the sport of sailing and shake the image that it’s an elitist hobby. Sounds like fun!
Keep the news coming.
