Class reception Nov. 13 after Yale game
chez Ted Todd - 20 Boudinot Street
Moves: Ric Simonson and family are well ensconced in New England after their move back to the Boston area two years ago. The benefits include more retreats to their place in Boothbay Harbor and more opportunities to see their two college sophomores at Amherst and Bowdoin – at least during the lacrosse season. Eighth grader Caroline is developing her own lacrosse career at the Winsor School in Boston. Wife Pat has completed putting her decorative stamp on Brookline, is working on their condo in Naples, and struggles to keep their young dog from turning it into distressed real estate.
John Johnson is adjusting to having moved spouse, two kids, two dogs, and a bird to Pound Ridge, N.Y., from California in January to become the director of marketing at Spears, Benzak, Soloman & Farrell in Rockefeller Plaza, Manhattan.
Kids: Bill Potter’s daughter Tracy is working for Wyland, the famous marine artist, in Laguna Beach, Calif. A talented artist in her own right, she works in the graphics department.
Standing in the long, slow, hot line to pick up freshperson room keys, spouse Susan noted that the fellow behind us seemed to have been a Nassoon, judging by his T-shirt. It turned out to be Steve Parker. His son Jerry and my daughter Katie executed the now familiar simultaneous-rolling-of-eyes maneuver as – not again! – their fathers reminisced about the best old place. Steve is practicing law at Mintz Levin Cohn Ferris Glovsky Popeu in Boston but did not address why he lives on Yale St. (Were no homes for sale on other streets?)
Doug James reports that daughter Lily Bohen James was born Sept. 23, 1998. His run as newest class father was short-lived, however. Mark Fromm, currently living in suburban Chicago (his street name is: The Court of Cobblestone) and lending money for Transamerica, announced the birth of daughter Miranda Brooks Fromm on Feb. 25, 1999. With an average classmate age of 54, there is plenty of opportunity for others – keep practicing!
35 years ago: Fall possibilities included an actual date and even a Big Three football crown.
