Time to break on through to the other side of this issue of PAW.
Steve Brown writes: “Missed our 35th due to having badly sprained an ankle the day before Margie and I were due to leave. (Today is the 38th anniversary of our first date.) Having fun at MIT working with inventions from the faculty and their startups (30 last year). Building a 20-ft., ultralight, ocean-racing scull, which should be fun. Can be rigged as a single, double, or single w/ passenger. (Margie w/ parasol!) We’re on the ocean in Cohasset, where younger daughter Emily, who just moved to LA with her fiancé, will be married next June. Older daughter Carrie is visiting friends in Belgrade and traveling through Bosnia, Croatia, and Montenegro. Told her no Sound of Music romps through the fields (or even the hills.) She’s at Duke Medical currently. Margie and I feel very lucky.”
The efforts of Karl Pettit as “Quadmeister” for the 35th had an effect: there were enough chairs (mirabile dictu!). Pepper reported a great trip to Istanbul this spring, during which he provided architectural services to a private K-12 school intent on changing the pattern of education in Turkey. Daughter Pauli parlayed her dean’s list position at Temple U. into a major merit scholarship enabling her to transfer to Ashland U. in Ohio, with a career in the theater in her sights. This spring she had a cameo appearance, singing the national anthem at the start of the Princeton-Syracuse lacrosse game.
In the third week of Oct. 1963, and after a month of buying grinders, all of us at WOWS could sympathize with the prescient Ray Charles, who was “Busted.”
Don’t forget post-Harvard at Frank Strasburger’s. For directions, contact Tom Amato at tbscamato@aol.com.
