John Fisher forwards a NY Times article reporting that Richard Blumenthal has accepted a call to head the Dalton School in NYC. Dalton is recognized as one of the top coed private schools in NYC, and not just because you could have seen Mariel Hemingway walking out of it into Woody Allens clutches in Manhattan. As for John, life proceeds pretty much unched (unchanged), as he used to say, in the bond market. He still loves doing psychoanalysis and his kids, now 12 and eight, are flourishing.
Dr. Julian Berman is looking forward to a fun winter season in Coral Springs, Fla. One of his partners has left, leaving three to do the work of four. Meanwhile, son Ben is halfway through an MA in international relations from George Washington U., with the able assistance of our classmate Harry Harding. Alex graduated from U. Florida and is job hunting. Sara Beth is a junior, and Mark a freshman in high school.
No longer Dean Kelemen, Warren Kelemen is now v.p. for advancement and planning at Middlesex County College in Edison, N.J.
Bob Gebhardt had a visit from Don Oakley and his wife, Maria. Both dropped out senior year and ended up married to Italians, which, according to Bob, should serve as a lesson to all seniors.
Nine years after losing Chuck Peters to depression-driven suicide, Chucks widow, Cindy Carr, writes to share the news that she has remarried and moved to the San Diego area with their 12-year-old, who seems to be thriving in the new environment. She extends her sincerest thanks to all of those in the class who so tenderly guided her through the aftermath of Chucks devastating exit and will be forever grateful for their caring and participating in the healing process.
Thirty-five years ago we were marveling at the Bradley-led basketball team and our own super freshman squad.
