Carolyn Nygren Curan writes: “I remembered it was Josiah’s birthday today as I was in the studio making mini replicas of some of the examples of ancient pottery he used in his lectures years ago, but I was two years ahead. (I guess forgetfulness happens with octogenarians, but I sent off a small donation celebrating his life in any case.) Who knows if I’ll be around for his real leap year birthday in 2024! Josiah has always been dear to my heart, and I am always sad when fellow alums do not post on his Facebook page. Thus this note to Brown hoping that others will commemorate his birthdays, perhaps with a gift to his university. I am in two shows this year: Haverford Guild of Craftsmen spring craft show, as well as the miniature show at the Philly/Cherry Hill Hilton in November. I am hoping that I will see some acquaintances from Brown at the Philly show, and I’ll even give you one of my little brown jug minis as a memento of Josiah if you drop by to say hello. COVID-19 messed up studio time and life in general at Quadrangle Independent Living, where I moved in fall of 2019, but things have thankfully pretty much opened up again. The Quadrangle has somewhat the atmosphere of a college campus for the older set with a preponderance of liberal-thinking retired academics, artists, and movers and shakers. I heartily recommend it if you are thinking of changing your domicile. FYI, did you know that Josiah Carberry had some years at Wesleyan after his career at Brown, part of the Carberry legend according to Wikipedia? Although unfortunately not a fan of Carberry, my oldest son Andy is a Wesleyan professor of the humanities specializing in 18th century French literature and Diderot. He gave a lecture here at the Quadrangle on his forthcoming book, Who’s Black and Why? A Hidden Chapter from the Eighteenth-Century Invention of Race, edited by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Unfortunately, the lecture had to be on Zoom, so I was cheated out of an in person visit. C’est la vie.”

Carolyn Nygren Curran writes: “Last May a potter friend mentioned senior independent living places in the Philly area with pottery studios and swimming pools. Eureka! By October this widow had moved from her house in North Carolina to the Quadrangle at 3300 Darby Road, Apartment 1106, Haverford, Pa. 19041. It’s a hotbed of creativity and cultural life with seemingly no ‘old thinking’ people. Three of my pieces were selected for Clay Studio’s annual ‘Small Favors’ show in Philly, and other opportunities for continuing my career as a potter are also close at hand. I’m midway between my three sons and their families. Perfect!” Contact Carolyn at cncpots2gmail.com.

Our three children live in California and Alaska and my wife Diana and I live in a small senior community here on Lopez Island where I learn about community development every day.”

James T. Johnson writes: “It’s about time for me to send in a summary update on myself. When I entered Brown in the fall of 1956 as the first of my family to go to college, I had no idea how Brown would open new worlds to me and help to shape the development of my life. Starting out in physics, I eventually got my degree in mathematics/economics and went on to pursue a PhD in religious ethics at Princeton. I embarked on a teaching career at Rutgers University, received several national grants, authored a number of books, and edited two scholarly journals. Mine has been a full, happy, and productive life, and I honor Brown for the experiences that got me started.” Contact James at jtj@scarletmail.rutgers.edu

Quite the twenty-first century wedding!” Contact Les at lynnles@comcast.net.

Gloria Markoff Winston writes: “Since 2008 I have been living at Laurelmead. I have spent my winters in Palm Beach, Florida, since 1982 and fully returned to Providence (no more ‘snow birding’) in 2015. I have everything I need in life except Florida sunshine so I take my vitamin D pills every day. I play duplicate bridge every week and join the poker game at night and still find time to volunteer at Miriam Hospital. Many of my life-long friends that I followed to Laurelmead are no longer here, but I am surrounded by new friends, many of whom are also members of the Brown family, including Paul Alexander ’67, ’69 ScM; Janet McWain Colby ’60; Rosemary Mizener Colt ’84 PhD; Abraham Ehrenhaus ’45; Marilyn Silverman Ehrenhaus ’49; Deborah Mulcare ’68; John Schultz ’62 ScM,’68 PhD; Daniel Siegel ’57; Eugene Weinberg ’51; Robert Wood ’58; Louise Wood ’75 MAT; and Lucinda Dohanian-Welch ’00. We also have many esteemed Brown faculty members, past and present, including Lewis Lipsitt, Robert Davis, Laura Durand, Frank Durand, Francis McNelis, Gordon Wood, John Coleman, Annette Coleman, Robert E. Lanou, Richard Yund, and Nancy C. Rhodes, who was an associate director of admissions at Brown.”

I found a cheery young staff to coach me and enjoyed easy multi-generational interaction. I even tested some ideas for our next reunion. Personally, I freelance edit small projects and I am looking forward to training in high gear for ski season. What say you, oh so quiet classmates? Let’s hear from more of you.”

Carolyn Nygren Curran writes: “Spent my 80th birthday with a family reunion by an Adirondack lakeside cottage. It was wonderful to have all the generations together for a week. I returned to prepare for a September IGMA show in Connecticut (my return to miniature pottery show biz after hiatus of many years) but Hurricane Florence had other plans and I had to cancel. My home in New Bern, North Carolina, was fine, but there was so much damage in our area. Let me know if you’re in the area for a visit.”

Michael Hittle writes: “In retirement I have turned my historical attention from Russia to Wisconsin, and the result is An Accidental Jewel: Wisconsin’s Turtle-Flambeau Flowage (Little Creek Press, 2018). Part environmental history and part social history of Wisconsin’s northern woods, this book tells the story of a storage reservoir, constructed in 1926 for the purpose of downstream power generation, that evolved into a semi-wilderness body of water that has drawn anglers, campers, nature watchers, and scientists from around the country. That project completed, I led a group of intellectually vigorous seniors through a speed course on the history of Russia.”

Carolyn Curran writes: “If health holds out, I’m getting back in the world of miniature pottery this year. I am participating in a local pottery show and the BadAss Miniatures exhibit at YoHo Artists Open Studio Event in Yonkers, N.Y., through July 22. After an absence of 15 years I’ll also be participating once again in the International Guild of Miniature Artisans (IGMA) show at Hartford-Windsor Marriott in Connecticut (Sept. 18-23). I am having great fun doing research on ancient pottery and have built miniature kilns for firing Greek and Roman pottery. I am amazed at the research material and images available on the Internet now; it is much easier to find info than in the olden days, although books are still my passion. This summer I get my wish of a week’s family gathering for my 80th birthday: three sons and their wives and kids. Life is good despite creaks and groans and the passing of my best pal and spouse, Tom, eight years ago. Last year freshman roommate Ann Erpenback Bottelli and her husband came to visit here in New Bern, and I wish others would find their way here as well.”

Joan Clement Pickett writes: “I am happily living in the same home as in 1981. I garden, volunteer, play grandmother to three, care for three champion Scotties, and still love to sing. Life is good.”

May, 2018

George Ulrich writes: “When Sally and I took up housekeeping in an assisted living facility in the South Denver area, it took a while to adapt to our new lifestyle. Not used to living with elevators, wheeled walkers, electric scooters, and oxygen carts, we’re amazed, after nearly three years, at how much we enjoy the urban environment on this 84-acre campus. We’ve renewed acquaintances with several professional colleagues in the area and other U.S. geology surveyor retirees. We also have made friends with a couple of Brunonians; Norm Walters ’45 and Ann Jones Mills ’60. I’m still playing tennis and pedaling on bike/pedestrian trails in the area. Besides working in the wood shop and placing 18 bluebird houses around campus, which so far have attracted only tree swallows, I’ve joined the Learners Committee, supporting 10 to 15 courses of four to eight weekly classes three times each year. I’ve also generated two courses: one on the Grand Canyon and another on Adventures to a Rocky Moon, reminiscing about the Flagstaff days of the last four Apollo missions.”

My oldest granddaughter will (I hope) be graduating from our esteemed University. My grandson, who is a Brown sophomore, continues the family tradition.”

From the September/October 2017 Issue

Jim Bower writes: “After retiring from the San Miguel School in June 2016, I was delighted to be invited back to run an enrichment class for a group of sixth-graders. That worked out well, so I have been asked back to run a similar class next fall. The school also wants me to fill in as the assistant baseball coach.”

Bill Brisk is active in his law practice, specializing in elder law. He has taught elder law and end-of-life decision making at two law schools and published books in the areas of elder law and international politics. This fall, he plans to initiate a course for a community group of seniors. Bill writes: “It begins with a premise that, regardless of age, we are all capable of making changes for the better. The idea came to me after reading Living with Intent by Mallika Chopra ’93. The course will focus on learning from the book’s strategies about making serious changes and keeping commitments as we age. We will all read short books on different types of personal changes and get together to discuss and reflect on our strategies in implementing them. In doing so we can share ideas and how to overcome hurdles.”

Class co-presidents Jane Doane Anderson and Jim Bower write: “We hope you are making plans for our 55th reunion, Friday, May 22, through Sunday, May 24. We will begin on Friday evening with a reception and dinner in the Chancellor’s Dining Room. Our class dinner on Saturday will be at the University Club and, as always, we will cap the weekend with Brown’s renowned Commencement celebration on Sunday. We look forward to seeing you!”

Jane Doane Anderson writes: “The class of ’60 took advantage of a perfect fall day on Saturday, Sept. 27, to host a tailgate party before the Brown–Harvard football game. Attending were Fred Alper, Jane Doane Anderson, Jim Bower, Mary Birdsall Cervoni, Paul Choquette, Becky Hill Eckstein, Linda Blackman Feldman, Sandra Hodgkins Francis, Sig Friedman, Joan Hoost McMaster, Steve and Janet Cole Seltzer, and friends and family. A lot was going on at Brown all day to commemorate the 250th birthday. We were able to attend lectures, tours, and exhibits. After the game we stayed at the stadium for the birthday fireworks. Afterwards we were surprised and disappointed to find our tailgate table, with food trustingly left out for our late-night snack, was completely bare when we returned…. We hope that someone really enjoyed those brownies!”

Jim Bower writes: “I have decided that this will be my last year of full-time teaching. Little did I know when I started my first job at Wilbraham Academy that I would become a lifer. Stops along the way have included a year and a half at Colegio Franklin Delano Roosevelt in Lima, Peru; headmaster of Dedham Country Day; running a charter school in Franklin, Mass.; and finally here at San Miguel School in Providence. So what’s next? At least for a year, I’ll be preparing San Miguel for its every-10-year New England Association of Schools and Colleges evaluation. My wife, Kathleen, and I live right down the street from the Brown campus, so that gives us plenty of good things to do. We also own a home on the coast of Maine, which we’ll be able to take further advantage of. Our daughter Jenny and her family live in Mamaroneck, N.Y., and her three children attend Rye Country Day, so we will see lots of them. Our 55th is fast approaching. Don’t think ho-hum. It’s going to be a not-to-be-missed occasion. Hope to see you there.”

My book describes how my faith and psychoneuroimmunology led to my long-term survival.”

From the November/December 2014 Issue

Joseph DiChiaro writes: “I have been out of touch with Brown since graduation, except for a period of doing applicant interviews while I lived in California. Following my exodus from Rhode Island, I began what culminated in 32 years in the U.S. Air Force, preceded by six years in the U.S. Army. I interrupted law school at UCLA for Vietnam, but completed it at Loyola Law School in LA and practiced for 22 years before retiring both as a lawyer and a member of the military. I then attended Fuller Seminary and Calvary Bible College and returned to New England in 1995 to form a church in New Hampshire, which I have pastored since then. All of our eight children remain on the West Coast, along with our 11 grandchildren. Unfortunately, none attended Brown, but we do count Stanford, USC, UCLA, and three Cal State students among our brood and their spouses.”

Tom Rollinson writes: “My thanks to Jim Bower for his gentle reminder in the latest BAM to the illustrious class of 1960 that personal bits of news are still desired. “Let’s go, 6–0!” as we used to chant as enthusiastic freshmen. I’ve noticed that news of my distinguished classmates has been rather scarce in recent years. Maybe some of us need an extra reminder now and then! So here are a few bits from Old Tom, the first in several years: I continue to delight in the blessings of my third retirement, enjoying life here in scenic New Mexico, which we modestly call the Land of Enchantment. Odd hours are filled in by serving as a church organist and choir director and helping out in our local jail ministry, helping guys to prepare for the GED. This summer I traveled to Russia to teach English and the Bible in a public school. (Ironically, that’s something I might have difficulty doing in this country.) Over the years I have had the pleasure of serving as an alumni admissions interviewer for Brown. That’s a fairly easy task, since here in eastern New Mexico we only have one applicant about every three years! Earlier this year I celebrated the Richard Wagner Bicentennial by attending performances of Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg in Chicago and Parsifal in New York City. While in New York I visited with Jef Fall. I have known Jef since second grade. In retirement, like many of us, he is working on his second or third book. My wife, Shirley, has abandoned her earlier career in medical research in favor of teaching New Testament Greek and Biblical archaeology at our local university. Last year she and I visited my brother, George Rollinson ’57, and his wife at their waterfront home in scenic Narragansett, R.I. What a great place to spend the summer! I hope others will respond to Jim Bower’s encouragement by sending in their news!”

From the May/June 2013 Issue

Jane Doane Anderson writes: “I’ve been happily retired for ten years. Being involved with class of  ’60 activities has been an enjoyable part of that. I’ve had the opportunity to be in touch with many classmates and to maintain a connection to Brown. I am happy to report that my grandson, Carlos Rotger, will be a member of the class of 2017. In the summer, several of us, including some of my husband Ralph Anderson’s ’57 classmates, occasionally gather together on Cape Cod: Sandra Hodgkins Francis, Carolyn Clary Haeberli, Barbara Hajjar, Linda Woodworth Keado, Lou Martinage ’57, Carol MacLennan, Barbara Carlson Perkins and Ned Perkins ’59, Ann Rogers, and Bob Watson ’58. I enjoy biking, hiking, cross-country skiing, and gardening. When I need a rest, I work on my rug-hooking. This means that at last I have found a use for those old white Pembroke blazers—mine and Carol MacLennan’s have been turned into a rug. Ralph and I were given season’s tickets for the Brown Bears 2013 season so we’ll be there rain or shine. Look for us in the parking lot!”

Copresidents Jane Doane Anderson and Jim Bower write: “Conversations at our mini-reunion showed a lot of interest in keeping lines of communication open and informative. We agree and invite more of you to submit news—travel; retirement; relocations; professional, civic and cultural endeavors; family milestones; and so on—for our class website and for the BAM.

Jim Bower writes: “Hello, class of 1960. The class officers and I are trying to encourage interest in submitting information for our column in the BAM. Get on those computers and let us hear from you. I’m still working at the San Miguel School in Providence, where I teach, run the admissions office, and coach baseball. San Miguel is a Christian Brothers school serving low-income boys, grades 5 to 8. I enjoy the work and hope to continue. Out of school, Kathleen and I own a home in Castine, Maine, where we play lots of tennis and golf. Recently my handicap has begun to rise alarmingly, but I remain ever hopeful. We can’t wait to get your news.”

Jane Doane Anderson writes: “By all accounts, our first mini-reunion was enjoyed by all. A rainy late-October day did not dampen the spirits at the Brown Faculty Club reception on Friday evening. By Saturday, blue skies and sunshine provided a perfect fall day for a tailgate party at Brown Stadium and the Brown vs. Cornell football game. We were grateful to the Brown Bears for an exciting game. Brown won the battle of turnovers, resulting in a 21–14 victory. We wrapped up the day with a pleasant dinner at the Agawam Hunt Club. We would like to thank Becky Hill Eckstein and Joan Hoost McMaster for arranging the festivities. In attendance were classmates Jim Bower, Bernie Buonanno, Mary Birdsall Cervoni, Paul Choquette, Janet McWain Colby, Barbara Deller, Mary Miga Fenlon, Tim Hennessey, and Ed Rundquist, along with spouses and guests.”

Joan Hoost McMaster writes: The Brown Alumnae Club of Kent County is celebrating its 65th anniversary this year! We will be hosting our 65th anniversary gala event in April at the Warwick Country Club. President Paxson has graciously accepted our invitation and will give a talk on the arc on women in higher education then and now. She will also offer the congratulations of the University on this auspicious occasion!”

Equally significant is the fact that I will be celebrating a major anniversary with Jeanne, who somehow has been able to tolerate me for 25 years. I now serve on two public corporation boards (Transatlantic Holdings, a NYSE company, one of the world's largest reinsurance companies, where I am the lead director; and IT Pomeroy Solutions, a NASDAQ technology company), two private company boards (including the lead insurer for two-thirds of this country's public housing authorities; and a start-up biomedical company), and three eleemosynary boards (Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center; Controlled Risk Insurance Company, the medical malpractice company for all the Harvard-related hospitals and schools; and the National Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis Center at SUNY Stony Brook), and am an advisor to a major investment firm (Standish Mellon). I work on the photographic committees of several museums and work closely with the photographic curators of several others. I am in my second year as the area interview chairman for Brown—a truly gratifying experience, which provides insight into the incredible caliber of the school's applicant pool. I logged over 75 glorious rounds of golf in 2007 and skied with some of my kids at Beaver Creek. The bottom line is that life is good—very good!"
