AS THREATENED, I have picked up the telephone and called a few classmates. It is an enjoyable process, but I still want your cards and letters.
I caught up with Dennis Gustafson, who is an orthopedic surgeon in Walnut Creek, Calif. Twice a grandfather, he refuses to admit he feels old, notwithstanding a child in high school and five children in college or graduate school (two in law school). Shoulders, hips, and knees are his specialty. He has called California home for 25 years.
A year ago, cultural anthropologist Andy Miracle left TCU to become a professor and chair of the Dept. of Health Sciences at Cleveland State U. He lives in Shaker Heights, Ohio. He teaches culture and health and human sexuality (based, of course, on his Princeton experiences). Most of his work has been in the study of high school sports as a cultural phenomenon. He is also investigating the relationship of contact sports to violence against women.
Laird Carlson has returned to Mancos, Colo., from a summer in Maine.
Thirty-five years ago, well-known visitors to our campus included Black Muslim leader Malcolm X (whom we listened to respectfully), Mississippi Governor Ross Barnett (less so), Madame Nhu (who complained about Harvard’s lack of respect), and, last but not least, Bob Dylan, who blew in the wind after a 27-7 shellacking of Yale.
