Summer 2007

Paul Fuetterer received the winter magazine, noted the lack of news, and wrote, “Maybe all the class is dead, huh! I do believe Bart Farnsworth is alive. I saw him in August as he passed through Beaufort, S.C., on his way north to spend time on Martha’s Vineyard. Joe Mix lives here in Beaufort and we’ve talked. His son, Steve, runs a boutique store with ‘trinkets’ for the tourists! I now live in Beaufort with my first wife after I divorced my third. It’s a long story but one of our daughters lives in Beaufort, too. When I was here in January 2005, attending a ‘History of the Lowlands’ lecture sponsored by Midd and conducted by the former pres, John McCardell Jr., who bought a home in Beaufort, I was encouraged by our daughter to call my former wife. After that, I basically returned to Phoenix, filed, and returned to Beaufort. My address is 27 E. National Blvd, Beaufort, SC 29907. As I have been retired since 1992, I volunteer at the Parris Island Museum and am on their board of directors. I work with other retired executives at SCORE and help people start businesses or try and save them from going under. I work out five days a week and do a variety of other things!”

Spring 2007

Buzz Tilton reports that he and Carol had a great Western trip last July. They visited Skip Smith ’59 in Steamboat Springs, Colo. “We then took a bus tour to Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Cody, Wyo., Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Jackson Hole, and ended in Salt Lake. We spent some time with oldest son Peter who had just built a home in the mountains looking across the valley at Park City. He works for the U.S. Ski Team as an events operation coordinator. After our visit with Peter we drove to Bend, Ore., and had a fun visit with Sue and Ceddie Sherrer at Widgi Creek, returning to Florida the end of July. Ceddie has recently had his hips replaced and is doing fine.” • Tom Thompson relayed an interesting thought: “If the clock ran backward from our graduation, the current year would be 1900—a time when many of our parents were born!” • Don Peach writes, “After 23 years in the high desert in northwest Colorado, Tineke and I have found it quite an adjustment to move back to Vermont. We miss the open spaces, dry climate, and easy-going life in that part of the U.S. Tineke is busy volunteering with a seniors group in South Hero, and I could not resist becoming active in the local town government, serving as secretary to the selectboard and on the Recreation Commission. I am compiling the poems of my father, Arthur Peach, who was for many years the poet laureate of Vermont. Our home has frontage on Lake Champlain, and I am trying to become a sailor as well as continuing my canoeing, but no longer in competition.”

Fall 2006

George Byers wrote to say he and his wife have traveled extensively for which they are grateful. Recent trips included Hawaii and a river cruise through Eastern Europe to the Black Sea. As a director of their Marriott time-shares in Vail, he got to ski the Western slopes one day. • We regret to report the deaths of two classmates: Kevin O’Connor and Patricia McKenna Goedicke. We extend our condolences to their families and friends. Memorials appear in this issue. • Let’s hear from more classmates!

Summer 2006

Peter Cascio reports that he is “trying to brush up on all the Italian that Sam Guarnaccia ’30 tried to teach me 56 years ago.” After attending the mid-July graduation of their daughter from medical school in Tempe, Ariz., they are off for “a home exchange for three weeks 20 minutes north of Milan, then four days in Florence and three in Venice at B&Bs.” • The College informs us that Norm Peterson was representing Middlebury at the inauguration of a new president at Converse Univ. on April 27. • Dorothy Gill Bramley moved to Southport, an active adult community, last December: “It’s a great lifestyle in a beautiful area. Guests welcome!” • Jean Overhysser Arneberg enjoys winter in Florida and summer in Vermont, but finds it “tough to leave Darien!” • In January, David and Peggy Schlumpf Lambert and Bruce and Bobbie Holme Conroe traveled to Hawaii, where they spent one week on the Big Island of Hawaii at Kona and one week on Maui at Kahana. While on the Big Island, they stayed a night with John and Tarley Mangelsdorf Holmes at their B&B in Hilo. This was the best chance they have had to catch up on each other’s lives since our 50th reunion. • Much to their surprise, Dave and Carol Jennings Clemens received the award for Pennsylvania State Tree Farmer of the Year in 2004: “As a result of this award we were asked to apply for the title of 2005 Northeast Regional Tree Farmer of the year, which we did. Again the Clemens Tree Farm was inspected, this time by foresters from Washington State and Colorado. In competition with winning tree farmers from several northeastern states, we again won. In September of 2005 we traveled to the National Tree Farm Convention in Springfield, Mass., where Dave gave a talk and PowerPoint presentation on our tree farm. We were disappointed in being beaten for the national title by a couple from Washington State, but pleased that our farm had earned regional recognition. You probably wonder what a tree farmer does. In our case we have been working for the past 38 years to improve the forest which already grows on our 500 acres in northeast Pennsylvania. In order to achieve maximum growth of our best trees we have been removing the poorest trees and leaving the best with more room to grow. In the early years this was done by Dave and his chain saw, just cutting down the poorer trees. In more recent years, as the trees grew to saleable size, we have been able to have a logger cut down and sell the poorer trees. What we have left is a greatly improved forest stocked with our best trees, still to be harvested by us and/or future generations. Recently we have been fencing some areas to keep out deer. Unchecked, these browsers will eat any small baby trees they can find. By fencing we are able to naturally regenerate some areas with seeds produced by the trees that remained after we had logged, thus restarting the growth cycle with trees having the best genetics to benefit future generations. This has been a very gratifying long-term project which has kept us active and healthy.” Congratulations, Dave and Carol! • Judith Von Bernuth Sharp reports that she is taking her entire family across the pond to England and then on to Paris. While in England, they will visit Stonehenge and Bath, where Judy’s son spent a college semester. She plans to travel to Paris via the Chunnel! In France, they will spend a few days with Jeanine Riviere Puydoyer. Judy informs us that Clementine Wininger Gregory is also planning a family trip to England and France. • Joe ’52 and Ann Golding Davis celebrated the 100th birthday of Ann’s mother on December 4. Actually, the various celebrations lasted about a week and everyone was exhausted when all was said and done. Ann reports that her mother is hale, hearty, and very active, as she still drives very well, gardens a little, needlepoints, and generally does about what she wants! • Remember that our 55th is coming up in 2008, only two years away! Please catch us up on your news so that we can share it with your classmates.

Spring 2006

Congratulations to Robert Westcott, the recipient of the New York State Dental Association Jarvie-Burkhart Award, the highest honor presented by the organization, recognizing outstanding service to mankind through dentistry. Now retired, Robert practiced general dentistry in Queensbury and Glens Falls, N.Y., for 30 years. He also worked on a multitude of causes as an active participant in organized dentistry at the national, state, and local levels. It was his visionary concept 30 years ago that has evolved into a state-of-the art, 335-square-foot mobile dental facility, a model for rural pediatric dental programs everywhere. The dental van travels to schools through the southern Adirondacks, serving children who otherwise would not have access to dental care. • Laura Chapman Rico is still coordinating the tutorial program at her local community college. She's also active at St. Alban's Episcopal Church and goes to Anvik, Alaska, each summer for vacation Bible school. • Clark Alvord II sends greetings to all Middlebury classmates! "Another eventful year passes. Enjoyed a wonderful season of skiing and mountain guiding at Stratton and a week in Steamboat Springs in Colorado. Unfortunately, the season ended abruptly with a serious crash: torn rotator cuff, followed by surgery and physical therapy. Back on track for wife Harriet's class reunion in Sweden and family visits. Thanksgiving found us in Portland, Ore., with our triathlete daughter, who recently competed successfully in her first world event in Hawaii." • Millard Davis writes that daughter Lynn and her husband, Jeff Malko, welcomed daughter Lauren on August 23. Bill also reports a lot of traveling, in the U.S. and to London and Paris. He says he "did bugs-of-the-month for Master Gardener Calendar 2006, including 12 large photos on the back cover." • Last July, Sue Taylor reports a fun trip to Vermont for the 50th wedding anniversary celebration of Don '51 and Biffy Darling Sherburne. Those celebrating at the Waybury Inn included Connie Gibbs Oliver, Nancy Hamilton Shepherd, Marge McCallum Smith (and her daughter), and all of the Sherburne children and grandchildren. To top it off, Sue made a second trip to Vermont from Illinois for the Alumni Leadership Conference at Bread Loaf in September.

Winter 2006

Fall arrived with torrential rainstorms and flooding in the North Country. We hoped that the Otter was minding its p's and q's as it winds the willow! • "Gordie Golf" was held, as usual, the weekend following Labor Day, this year on September 8 and 9. The Class of '53 was well represented, but we did miss some "regulars" who didn't get back this year. We hope they will return in 2006! In the meantime, Irv Morris, Skip Jennings, Dick Allen, Fuzz Goodwin, Norm Armour, Ann Golding Davis, Crock Beers, and Sue Valentine Jennings had a good reunion, along with spouses and members of other classes in the '50s. The Class of '53 did itself proud in the winners' circle as well! Gordie Golf is a really fun time and it is so beautiful at Midd at that time of year. Dust off your clubs and mark your calendars for the weekend after Labor Day in 2006 and come join us! • Link Furber writes: "After more than a year and a half, in July I completed my volunteer work producing a 40-minute video, Coastal Treasures, for the nonprofit Boothbay Region Land Trust, here in Maine. It shows most of their 15 beautiful preserves through the four seasons of the year. I shot digital tape from a small airplane, aboard boats, in snowstorms, climbing over icy rocks, on barren islands, and hiking through the glories of the fall woods. This was followed by many weeks of computer editing, done with a professional. Finally we added a wonderful original music track, plus my brief narration for a product that clearly shows how lovely this area of Maine can be throughout the year. It's available on both DVD and videotape cassette through the Land Trust's website (bbrlt.org). My labors (which I enjoyed more than anything I've done in years) resulted in my being named Volunteer of the Year by the Land Trust. All in all, a great experience!" • Joe '52 and Ann Golding Davis enjoy New Hampshire skiing in the winter and Massachusetts golf in the summer, as well as spending time with three "grands." Ann's mother, who was turning 100 in December, is still driving, going out for lunch or dinner with great ease, and enjoying her garden and greenhouse! • We'd love to hear from more of you. Just get in touch with either Fuzz or Ann so that we can pass on your news. Or, if you prefer, you can send it directly to the College. Our 55th reunion will be coming up in a few years, so start thinking about your Midd days and get some news in to share with your classmates!

Laura Chapman Rico is still coordinating a tutorial program at Los Banos Campus of Merced College. In order to lighten her load, she has turned over a math class, which was a combination of two classes, to another part-time instructor and a full-time instructor. She was honored recently by being chosen Classified Employee of the Year. Congratulations, Laura!

Summer 2005

Janet Nutt Lembke has received a 2005-2006 NEA translation grant for Virgil's Georgics, first published c. 30 B.C. • Returning from a recent visit to Costa Rica, Carol and Millard Davis continued on to London and Paris. He writes that he became a master gardener of Florida recently. • Bill and Jan Wagner Schongar write: "Since our 'major' reunion in '03, we are enjoying our 'mini' reunions—Link Furber's in Maine '04 and Dick and Nana Dean Kennedy's in Michigan '05." • In summer '04, Charlie and Pat Heap Rockwell and son Steve spent two nights on Mount St. Michel, before enjoying a week with Jeanine Riviere Puydoyer in Paris. After Paris, they splashed in the Diana Fountain the day after its dedication in Hyde Park. "We reveled in its openness and availability for Londoners and tourists alike. The positive atmosphere in London paralleled the smiles of those viewing The Gates in NYC's Central Park in February 2005."

Spring 2005

We would like to announce that Sue Taylor was presented with a Sidney G. Kay '50 Class Agent Award last September at the Alumni Leadership Conference. Thanks for your hard work, Sue, and thanks to all classmates for their wonderful support. • After being a leadership consultant and educator for years, Pat Cavanaugh Boss came out of retirement to become the coordinator of the English Learner Development program at Liberty High School in Brentwood, Calif. Pat works intensively with about 80 students, the majority of whom speak Spanish as their primary language. In 1983, Pat was named Contra Costa Teacher of the Year. • Jean Overhysser Arneberg caught up with Lou Limbach Spangler in California last June, then had special visits with Marty Ladd Allee and Pat Pattyson Eckley in November. While in Vermont during the summer, she saw Ann McGinley Ross, Pat Hamilton Todd, Biffy Darling Sherburne, and others. • An elated Nancy Faust Dougherty reports that she is the grandmother "of a totally adorable grandson." This spring she is headed for a visit to Spain—"a longtime dream." • As a leader of Veterans for Bush 2004 in Phoenix, Paul Fuetterer was pleased with the outcome of the election. He planned to attend John McCardell's history course in Beaufort, S.C., in mid-January. • According to a Warrenton, Va., newspaper, Al Bragg is often seen around town with his aerial motorcycle, which can stay in the air for more than two hours, as well as clock 60 mph on land. Al's Web site (www.flitebike.com) calls it "the motorcycle of the sky." This could revolutionize commuting in the future!

Fall 2004

When Joy Hale was in Vermont returning her granddaughter to classes at Middlebury, she happened to run across the class note about Don Peach in the 1953 column of the spring 2004 Middlebury Magazine. Since the note mentioned that Don was a former town manager in Glastonbury, Conn., Joy passed the class note along to the Glastonbury newspaper, the Glastonbury Citizen. Via this circuitous route, Don's class note news appeared in the May 6 editor's column in Glastonbury, where all his old friends could read about his successful career after moving from Glastonbury to Rangely, Colo., in 1981. • Ralph Gundersen headed back to Rhode Island for the summer. He hoped that classmates in the Rhode Island area would give him a call. He wanted to "have lunch and do a little remembering about the old Midd days." • Susan Taylor, of Urbana, Ill., served as the Middlebury College delegate April 17 in the academic procession for the inauguration ceremony for the 13th president of Illinois College in Jacksonville, Ill. • Laura Chapman Rico is still living in Los Baños, Calif., where she is still teaching basic math and coordinating the tutorial program at the local community college.

Summer 2004

Susan Taylor, of Urbana, Ill., represented Middlebury College at the April 17 inauguration of Axel Steuer as the 13th president of Illinois College. • We were sorry to learn that Martha Ladd Allee's husband of 50 years died on April 17, 2003. Martha writes that two of their daughters and two grandchildren live nearby in Ithaca. Daughter Lisa '84 and four grandchildren live in Colorado. Martha regretted missing reunion. • Jan Luytjes was also sorry to have missed reunion. He reports that he "finally retired, after 52 years of teaching more than 25,000 undergraduate and graduate students!" He is enjoying his tennis and golf, and traveling abroad. • Anne Schafer Edwards writes that she "recently met Sarah Pettibone Dabney and family in NYC for a gala evening, the world premiere of Hester Prynne at Death, a Stephen Paulus chamber opera, with libretto by Terry Quinn. Sarah's daughter, Elizabeth Dabney, a stunning young woman and compelling soprano, sang as Hester Prynne. The music and performance were superb and applause demanded five curtain calls. Home again to March weather on Cape Cod, 54 degrees one day, snow the next. Spring due sometime late in May! Microscope and foraminifera to sort await, as does my grandson (3) who calls to 'play' every afternoon. It's all fun!" • Sandy Bing winters in NYC and summers in Montana. Retired, he says he's now engaged in fly-fishing, woodworking, and nonprofits. He and wife Cynthia have three daughters and a son.

Spring 2004

As we sit in the frozen North Country with subzero temperatures and unbelievable wind-chill factors, we can't help but bring our thoughts back to the lovely spring weather we had at Middlebury last June for the 50th Reunion. And what a special time that was. It was so good to renew old friendships and see everyone who made such a tremendous effort to be there. It was truly a memory of a lifetime. • The Class of '53 was well represented as usual at the Gordie Perine '49 Alumni Golf Tournament in September. Not only was the weather spectacular, but the golf was great and the '53ers fared very well in the prize department. The format was changed this year, eliminating the Saturday night banquet, so a few went home Saturday afternoon. But those of us who remained had a wonderful evening with cocktails at the home of Pat Hamilton Todd, followed by dinner at Fire & Ice. It was a first visit to F&I for me (Ann). Gordie Golf is always such a fun time and a real mini-reunion for us. Golfers, get in touch with the Alumni Office and get your names on the invitation list. It's always the weekend after Labor Day! • Speaking of golf, Bob Kelly has opened SofTrak Synthetic Golf Greens of Vermont LLC. Bob reportedly decided to open the dealership after researching high-performance greens for personal use. You can check it out with Bob at BobKelly8@adelphia.net. • Pat and Fuzz Goodwin recently returned from a month's trip to Cambodia, Thailand, and India. After visiting the Ankor Wat temples in Cambodia, they traveled for three weeks through Rajasthan and Eastern India and north to Darjeeling on the Himalayan/Nepalese border. "The whole experience made us, more than ever, appreciate the accident of our births." • Your secretaries would love to hear from you! Please get in touch with us with your news so we can pass it on to all. You can also send it directly to the College. Have a good winter!

Winter 2004

In 1981, Don Peach traded his job as town manager of Glastonbury, Conn., for the same position in Rangely, Colo., a boom and bust oil town. Don and wife Tineke picked Rangeley after they decided to "do something adventurous." After 21 adventurous years, Don has ended up as Rangely's elder statesman. He has served as town manager, as the development officer for Northwestern Community College, and as the town mayor for three two-year terms. He is credited with saving the town from bankruptcy, building a financial reserve, leading a beautification campaign, and fostering a spirit of communication and cooperation. He even worked out a land swap with the Bureau of Land Management, providing the town with much-needed room for expansion. He's a man who definitely made a difference. • Link Furber came across a quote from a private school headmaster: "It seems to me that the best final test of an academic institution is always how the persons whose lives have been touched by its faculty, values, and curriculum move forward to touch the lives of others." Link's conclusions: "I think the achievements of our class, as made clear in our 50th Reunion Yearbook, show Middlebury passes this test with an A+." • We regret to report the death of Robert Arel on June 4; of Donald Faber on July 2; and of Nancy Bush Beekman on August 28. The condolences of the class are extended to their family members. • Charlie and Pat Heap Rockwell were very enthusiastic about reunion. Pat writes, "We can only say wonderful things about reunion. It was a joyous experience. The motor scooter opened up the campus to Charlie and was a lot of fun. A new experience! Because of the Parkinsons, Charlie is sometimes unable to walk, but our kind, helpful, and strong student was always there to help him."

Fall 2003

Our 50th Reunion was terrific! It was great to see so many classmates, some of whom we had not seen since the 10th Reunion. People came from far distances, which was wonderful considering the traveling climate of today. The prize goes to Tarley Mangelsdorf Holmes, who came all the way from Hilo, Hawaii. What a wonderful welcome we received from Middlebury! The festivities began on Thursday evening with a reception and dinner at the president's house, hosted by John and Bonnie McCardell. The pouring rain did not dampen our spirits or the fun of the party; a super time was had by all. Pardon Tillinghast was our honored guest. Friday saw a panel discussion about the College by selected administration personnel and faculty, followed by the presentation of our 50-year pins by John McCardell. Dick Allen and Ann Golding Davis announced the names of each classmate as he or she came forward to receive the pin. That afternoon, athletic activities took place—golf, tennis, and hiking—as well as cultural happenings, for those not inclined to the outdoors. After Friday's class dinner at Proctor, most of us repaired to the Center for the Arts where Biffy Darling Sherburne and Peg Schlumpf Lambert reprised their wonderful two-piano concert, first presented at our commencement 50 years ago! Saturday morning we held a memorial service for those classmates who have left us. It was a very moving occasion, ably led by the Rev. Nancy Hamilton Shepherd and the Rev. Randy Rice. Convocation was held late Saturday afternoon. What a thrill it was to walk into Mead Chapel to a standing ovation from all the other classes. We did not win the cup for the most attendance, but we did win the cup for the highest percentage of giving to the reunion gift—88 percent! Thank you one and all! Saturday evening there was a big lobster-chicken cookout on the lawn behind Forest for all the reuning classes. We had our own tent and it was a great party. On Sunday morning, Jim '51 and Ann McGinley Ross entertained us for a fabulous closing brunch at their home, on a gorgeous morning for the spectacular view from their deck. What a way to finish! Adieus were said with sadness, as we had had such a good time reliving old memories and renewing old friendships—and even making a few new ones. Our special thanks go to Glenna Emilo and Susan Levine for making it all go so smoothly. Our 50th Reunion was truly a memorable experience. If you missed it, be sure to put the 55th on your calendar for 2008 and don't be left behind! Verne Goodwin has graciously agreed to replace Dick Allen as class secretary from the Men's College. Dick has done a great job for the last five years. We are now looking for someone from the Women's College to replace Ann. It is a really fun job, as one hears from classmates from all over the world. To volunteer, e-mail Ann at sensei@valley.net or contact alumni editor Dotty McCarty at 802-443-5650. Many thanks! It has been wonderful fun being your class secretaries for the last five years and most especially, being in touch with so many classmates. Thank you, everyone, for all your help with the news and for helping make the 50th Reunion such a success!
