David Morf writes: "We've moved to Northampton, Mass., so my wife, Mary, could finish her long-deferred studio art degree at Smith College. We both grew up in small towns - Mary is from Indiana and I'm from coastal California - and we want to continue living in a place linked with agriculture and education. Our two children are home-schooled (unschooled may be a better phrase, as it more clearly conveys the open inquiry which engages their imagination and energy). Previously we lived in Manila, where I was one of three advisors asked to transform the Philippine capital and securities markets into a more equitable and efficient mechanism for capital formation and investment creation. We reorganized and trained the Philippine S.E.C., drafted new securities laws and rules, installed computer systems, created a modern records-management operation, and worked with the Philippine stock exchange to help it become a self-regulatory organization. Being in Manila for several years was a great experience for the family. Today we are focusing on our new community. Even though it is new to us, it rapidly is becoming home."

Mark your calendars. Our 30th reunion is fast approaching. Festivities begin on Friday, May 28, 1999, and end on Monday, May 31, with the Commencement march. Join your classmates on Monday so that we can experience the unique Brown tradition of march-ing around the college Green, through the Van Wickle Gates, and down College Hill. Your class officers, Bob Huseby, Linda Abbott Antonucci, Richard Blackman, and Joe Petteruti, have begun planning our reunion with the intent of striking a balance among class activities, Brown activities, and down time.

This year's Commencement brought out a few marchers. Bob Harada and Catherine Flippen Harada, Tom McKlveen, and Bob Hopkins had children graduating. Paul Payton was back in Providence to celebrate his wife's 25th reunion. Linda Abbott Antonucci and Richard Blackman were there to make sure the '69 banner was unfurled. Steve Nugent and Tom Gilbane were spotted in the throng as we marched down College Hill.

Steve MacQuarrie, Wellesley, Mass., writes: "I've accomplished the easier half of changing jobs: quitting the old one. After three years of building EquiServe into the nation's largest shareholder servicing company, I've decided to seek out a new CEO position, after a summer of R & R. An even more significant accomplishment in the past year was playing golf with Rich Higginbotham and Win Major and not getting the stuffing beaten out of me - very different than the historical norm."
