The NYC Class dinner is set for Apr. 27, at the Princeton Club. Rick Wright ’64, of the Bradley campaign, will speak on presidential campaign finance.
Thanks to Steve Oxman our class dinner at Alumni Day was a great success. The attendees included: Steve and sons Matthew ’01 and Stephen ’95; Greg Hickok and daughter Jessica ’02; Steve Parker, son Jeremiah ’03 and wife Kathleen; Dag Ryen and son Shep ’01; Searle Field and daughter Laura ’00; Bill Jones’s son Drew ’0l; Tom Tulenko; Ted Todd and his wife Laura; John Fisher and guest Sue Peters; Roy Dix; Fred Waite, wife Sherrian Knight and daughter Angharad ’04; and Dick Prentke and daughter Katie ’03.
Dag reported that Bill Black, when not helping run the family construction business in Paducah, continues to pursue a lifelong interest in lepidopterology. Dag enjoyed a long evening with Bill last fall, trudging through the remote canebrakes of extreme Western Kentucky – hoping their lighted mining helmets would alert any trigger-happy deer hunters – to inspect light traps. Among Bill’s catch last Fall were specimens of previously undescribed moth species of the papupema order. Bill is working with academics who will publish the discoveries later this year.
Susan and John Klein’s son, Tom, will join sister Jennie ’01 at Princeton next year. Richard Abt’s son, Steven, will also be a member of the Class of ’04. His older sisters approve, notwithstanding their affiliations (Allison: GW ’97, Jaimie: Lehigh ’00, and Jennifer: Penn ’03).
Larry Warter had a sensational time on the Princeton Alumni College trip to South Africa in August. Son Brian ’95 continues with Anderson Consulting and Brian’s wife, Liz Hill Warter ’96, graduates this May from Boston College with a master’s in psychology.
35 years ago: Further evidence that there is nothing new under the sun. Spring brought skateboarding to Patton Beach and other locales. (“Grab your board and go sidewalk surfing with me.”)
