IN AUGUST, Bob Mayer moved to Marietta, Ga., for a “new career adventure” with Bass Hotels and Resorts and promptly reconnected with former roommate Dr. Collin Weber and wife Dominique. The photo, atop the next page, shows Bob, Mary and the kids (Ian, Bret, and Lyndsey) in front of their new Georgia digs superimposed over an image of the Maplewood, N.J., home they left.
A commonly stated career for high school graduates is marine biology, which paradoxically is a career with few job opportunities. Jim Kremer moved to the Avery Point campus of UConn after 19 years at USC to help create a new marine sciences major in coastal studies, which is a combination of coastal natural sciences with relevant social sciences (economics, policy, law). Jim expects this training will appeal to the broad environmental interests of today’s students yet provide diverse career opportunities. Have your kids surf to www.coastalst.uconn.edu.
Life is good with Steve Ranney in Frederick, Md. Contrary to national norms, Steve is still married to Linda, his best friend of 30 years. Their daughter KC was married last summer, and son Chris is a third-year medical student at Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk. His quick lube business has expanded to four thriving locations. Steve has been increasingly involved in Young Life, a national Christian youth ministry, over the past 10 years and would like to know of classmates who likewise have been involved.
Thirty-five years ago we were ardently campaigning for President Goheen ’40 *48 as WABC’s Principal of the Year. (He lost.)
