Welcome to the West Coast Edition of PAW. Hope your holidays were great. They tend to breed a continuing topic – offspring.
 We apparently have stirred up a “male thing” hornet’s nest. With all due respect to our recent report that Sam Isaly sired the youngest class child, Jonathan Dyer proffers his son, William Henry Dyer (at right with brother Sam (6), in New Hampshire this summer), born on Apr. 5, 1999. There may well be younger class offspring in this escalating fertility controversy, but until they surface, Henry wears the crown. Any challengers?
Julian Berman, on the other hand, now has no kids in high school or at home. This is a mark of (a) maturity, (b) the declining years, or (c) both. Son Ben (29) remains in a think tank in Arlington, Va.; Alex (27) is a teacher; and Sarah (21) is in her third year and Mark (18) is in his first year at U. of Florida. Anne and Julian are meanwhile trying to make up for their stock losses . . . somehow, but observe that this cannot last forever, can it?
Pam and Carl Widell have adopted two Russian girls, Svetlana (10) and Katya (7), who have added a delightful dimension to their lives. They have moved to the St. Michael’s area of Maryland, where they have been focused on swimming, sailing, and fishing. Pam is still practicing architecture, and Carl is still running a telecom firm in Africa.
Thank Fred Waite, whose daughter Angharad (“beloved” in Welsh) ’04 is a pre-med major, for arranging the class dinner to be held Feb. 22, at Prospect for classmates and their undergraduate children. Please RSVP to Fred. Cocktails at 5:30, dinner at 6:30.
