Class reception Nov. 13 after Yale game
@ Ted Todd’s - 20 Boudinot street
Moves: Ric Simonson and family are well ensconced in the Boston area, where they moved 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. Eighth grader Caroline is developing a lacrosse career at the Winsor School in Boston.
John Johnson 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 works for Wyland, the famous marine artist, in Laguna Beach, Calif. A talented artist in her own right, she is working in the graphics department.
Standing in the long, slow, hot line to pick up freshperson room keys, my wife, 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 practices law at Mintz Levin Cohn Ferris Glovsky Popeu in Boston but did not address why he lives on “Yale Street.” (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!
Fall possibilites 35 years ago included an actual date and even a Big Three football crown.
