Class Note 1960
Issue
May-June 2026
Class Note 1960. BobPhillips, the 87-year-old entrepreneur, continues his wellness marathon with the launch of Ballou Family Apothecary (BFA). Having played an important role in the creation of universal Vermont childcare, BFA was founded to provide clean, organic personal care products while helping fund local childcare facilities. The need is great, so business for good is his latest challenge.
BillMoorman writes, “I’m very fortunate to be happy and well at the advanced age of 86! My final job in the business world was 20 years as a school business manager for Hanover, Lyme, and Orford in New Hampshire and Norwich in Vermont. Besides working, I was able to get back to Dartmouth, and I really enjoyed all those years. For five years now I’ve been a resident of John Knox Village, a senior living place near Kansas City, Missouri. I keep busy with many of the offerings here such as golf, bowling, dancing, thinking, and learning. Finally, I am blessed with four kids, nine grandkids, and three great-grandkids, mostly in the Kansas City area. Other kids and grandkids are in St. Louis, Wisconsin, and New Jersey. We meet together weekly on Zoom. I hope my friends in the class of 1960 are enjoying old age as much as I am!”
BillRichmond writes, “Must be a slow time for news if you’re contacting me. Anyway, I appreciate it, though I have little to say. After a career as an architect and on my second marriage (now for 41 years), I still have a Scotch every night. I still fish, freshwater bass mostly, and I may have to give up golf, though I’m going to check out a local par 3 course. My four kids by my first marriage are all grown up. And that’s about it.”
AbeRoss reports that for the last two years he has walked his rescue dog Maggie an average of 3 km a day in the woods of Nova Scotia, Canada, where he, Susan, and Maggie live. He is a member of the Apostrophe Protection Society and the Royal Academy of Octogenarian Cyclists, but he hasn’t cycled much since getting Maggie.
