From the May/June 2008 IssueDouglas W. Abbott moved and can be reached at 156A Bison Ln., Stratford, Conn.06614; This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it Forrest Broman just completed his first autobiographical book covering his years in high school. He says he has had good reviews from Nick Willard and Rodger Hurley. Walter Brothers writes: "I have added golf to my activities. I returned to my younger days this summer and surfed off the Outer Banks. It's not Hawaii, but still fun. It's hard to believe that we graduated almost 50 years ago. However, it's my father's face I see in the mirror each morning—not mine of 1961." Prentiss de Jesus writes: "I recently retired after two careers. I was an archaeologist for 15 years, then got hungry and worked in the field of international development in Washington, D.C. My wife, Corinne, is French, and consequently we travel to France often. I recently passed my amateur radio operator's license test and am currently putting my equipment together with the expectation of communicating worldwide. I am also a bike rider, having gotten into the habit after biking to work for 20 years. My son graduated in 2007 from Brown and stayed one more year to get his master's in geology." Richard B. Grant received the Save the Bay's Lifetime Environmental Achievement Award for the 31 years he led Rhode Island's Narrow River Preservation Association in as a board member and president. Doug Hackett writes: "I went skiing at Vail, Colo., and Bormio, Italy, and have played a lot of golf. I went sailing twice on the Chesapeake with former roommate Eldon Hiebert on his 36-foot two-masted wooden sailboat (a beauty!). I recently played father-of-the-bride at the wedding of my daughter Nancy Hackett Harrison '86, which was attended by my other daughter, Kyle Hackett Smith '93. It was a great time and a mini-reunion." Walter McCarthy writes: "Although I am retired, I am still involved in a number of nonprofits – either on their board or serving on committees to help raise money. I also have five granddaughters whom I enjoy being with. Clara and I go to Scotland every year for a few weeks and always spend the last week on Islay, one of the Hebrides. We also go to the Boundary Waters Canal area in Minnesota for a week each year. So far, health is good, as is life." Robert B. McCormick writes: "My son, Braydon, and his wife, Heather (Colby '94), have adopted twins from Haiti. Now three, they are a handful. I have just completed a two-week motorcycle trip through Norway. The whole place is like a national park. I retired from Lehman Brothers after 28 years on November 30, 2007, and became a mediator and arbitrator here in the 9th Judicial District of Georgia." David Milton writes: "Traveling about in either our RV in this great country or renting in foreign countries has been a wonderful experience. We've been to Australia and New Zealand, but the best was a 3500-mile trip through South Africa. People, animals (especially leopards and elephants), and scenery—an amazing and exciting land voyage that my wife, Linda, and I will always remember." Dick Nurse writes: "After three exciting years as executive director of the Crossroads Theatre in New Brunswick, N.J., I have gone into a second retirement. Crossroads was founded in 1978 as a cutting-edge African-American theatre. In 2000, it won a Tony as the Best Regional Theatre in America. In October 2000, it went dark under the weight of a two-million-dollar debt. With the help of friends, like Chuck Royce, and a whole lot of negotiations, we managed to erase the debt and put Crossroads back on its feet. I felt comfortable in turning over the reins this past October. On another note, my daughter, Allison Nurse '88, was married to Martin Hofer at Riverside Church in New York City on June 30, 2007." Dexter Pond writes: "I retired from the Worcester Envelope Co. (Auburn, Mass.) several years ago and remained chairman of the board. My wife, Sue, and I celebrated our 46th wedding anniversary this year. We have three children: a son, Eldon, who is now president of the Worcester Envelope Co., and two daughters, Grace '86 and Suzanne '86. We also have four granddaughters. I am enjoying gardening, home maintenance projects, and collecting early American antiques." Chelsey Carrier Remington and David Remington (see Laura Gardner Remington '94). Jack Resnik writes: "I attempted and failed retirement 101. I tried part-time work, which has one thing in common with tumors: it grows! I am back to full-time, which also helps with my daughter's graduate school bills." Charles Rood writes: "In the summer of 2007, we took our annual summer cruise on our boat and this year took our boat across Long Island Sound, down the East River, around New York City and up the Hudson River to Troy, N.Y. We then went through the Erie Canal and north up the Oswego Canal to Oswego, N.Y. After crossing Lake Ontario, we traversed the Trent Severn Waterway to Georgia Bay. After a week in the Thirty Thousand Islands we retraced our journey. Over the two-month trip we traversed about 1200 miles and 162 locks." Richard F. Santopietro '64 ScM writes: "After a 35-year career in engineering, I've embarked on a new career as a holistic psychotherapist and have a practice in North Kingstown, R.I."

My son, David, is now a teacher at Salem (Mass.) State College." Nicholas Willard writes: "We now have two grandchildren, as well as two daughters in different colleges. My wife is still working hard, and I started a business six years ago with my neighbor that we are currently expanding. Retirement is nowhere in sight. Still playing tennis three times a week to stay in reasonable shape, and reveling in the success of Boston's sports teams." William C. Worthington writes: "Since retiring in 2004, I have volunteered at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, Calif. In addition to being a docent, leading tours of a subset of the artifacts, I am part of a team bringing the third computer back to life—it's a 1960s-generation IBM 1401. Come see it in operation."

Douglas writes: “There was great weather, some fine beer, and a good time catching up on our lives since Brown and our experiences in the U.S. Navy. (Ken and Eldon were in submarines, and I was in naval intelligence.)” Robert W. Schmid writes: “I just attended my 50th high school reunion. It was great fun. Looking forward to our 50th.
