Bibby Levine Alfond ' 38

A letter to the editor of the Lawrence, Mass., Engle-Tribune paid tribute to Donald Free­man '26's l ife and long teaching career in the public schools ofHaverhi l l , Mass. The writer praised Freeman's "amazing 44 years" as a high school English teacher, principal, assis­tant superintendent and superintendent of schools and also cited his numerous civic endeavors ·:· The lion's share of the atten­tion paid to the inaugural class of the Maine Sports Legends Hall of Honor went to the team of Bibby Levine Alfond '38 and her husband, Harold Al fond H '80, whose phil­

anthropic contributions to sports in Maine are unsurpassed. Maine Sports Legends was conceived by a partnership of people to raise money for scholarships given through the Maine Baseball Hall of Fame.

'20Sf30S Responding to our request for news of the Class of 1 93 8 , Bob Anthony reports that the I 0th edition of h i s l'v lmwge111ent Co11trol Syste111s (with Vijay Govindarajan) has just been published.

42 For more than 10 years Sue Rose Bessey and her husband, Earle, enjoyed the thrill and companion­ship of skiing with a group of friends a couple of weeks each winter in a number of European countries, in­cluding France, Switzerland, I taly and Austria. The group was known as "the \ Vashingtonians" and included Colby alumni Tee and Anita Pooler Laliberte, i\ I uriel and Bob Tonge '49, Karl '54 andJane J\ [ i llett Dornish '5 5 and Paul and Germaine J\ Iichaud Orloff ' 5 5 . Once this became i m pos­sible for Earle and Sue to do physi­cally they looked for an a lternative to spending the winter i n snow country. Their solution has been a small town in Arizona, Green Valley, which is located about 2 6 miles south of Tuc­son and about 2 5 mi les north of the

Mexican border at Nogales. Green Valley has a large number of seniors avoiding a harsher winter climate . N l a n y recrea t i o n a l centers, go l f courses a n d interesting study courses for mental stimulation are big draw­ing cards. A multimde of i nteresting day trips add to i ts a l lure. (Sue and Earle also enjoy seeing \Vatervi l le's Bob andJudy Kany, who have a lovely home in Saddle B rook in the north­ern Tucson area . ) To top it all off, their grandson from Simsbury, Conn. , became so enchanted witl1 the desert and mountains of the Southwest that he is currently enrol led as a freshman at tl1e University of Arizona in Tuc­son. From December 29 through Apri l l 3 their address wi l l be 1 5 29 B e l fry Court, G reen \'a l l ey , Z 856 1 +, phone number 520-399-2748. If you are in the area, give them a cal l . . . .

In tl1e class news questionnaire, alumni were asked to share a favorite memory of Colby's former presidents, faculty or staff, and Ralph rem i n isces about dat­i n g Presi d e n t B i x l e r 's d a u g h t e r Harriet. H e also writes about push­ing a sled with a kegofbeer concealed by a blan ket from tl1e Tau Deir house to the Phi Deir house. He says his favorites were " Ecky with B recky, English l i twitl1 Chappie, h i story with \Vi lkie and of course, Pop Newman . "

It feamred scenes of Brooklyn and Manhattan parks and harbors . . . . Rae Gale Backer '++ and Morty had a special trip to Florida in June to at­tend tl1e graduation at which their son J immy, a teacher in Israel , re­ceived his doctorate . . . .

As I write tl1is in Septem­ber I can tell you fi rsthand (since she is at present i n Tew York) that she handled her wired jaws unbelievably well and is now pretty nearly okay again . . . .

The ownership of the smal l child-care center of which Shirley was secretary on the board of di rectors was rurned over to a l a rger organization on the very night of her move to a retirement apartment. Shirley was immediately elected sec­retary of the Regency Oaks Chapter 1 5 1 of Florida Life Care Residents Association.

52 \\'ith no class news coming my " a> of late, l picked up the phone and called John Baum, a roommate no" Ji, ing in \ \'ale5. \\'e had not ral J..c<l or corresponded in all the years

since 1 95 2 . I was aware that John, a lthough a business administration major at Col by, had gone on to take a bachelor of music degree from the Tew England Conservatory. I was

curious as to how that had come about. John tol d me that fo l lowing our graduation exercises he had intro­duced his father to Roney Wil l iams ' 3 5 . Roney had said, "I understand John will be joining your business." "That's true," Mr. Baum responded. "A pity," said Roney. As i t rurned out, Roney was prophetic. John lasted a year i n the family business before deciding to explore an interest i n music that had developed late i n h is col lege career. " But, John," sa id I , " I didn't know you played an instru­ment." "I didn't," h e said. "I took up the flute at the conservatory." Follow­ing the conservatory, John moved to Colorado, where he taught music. \VhiJe there he decided to broaden his knowledge i n the education profes­sion, and he acquired an M.A. at the University of Colorado. Then it was on to California, where he earned a doctor of education degree at Stanford. He was granted a Fulbright scholar­ship and for two years went off to Peru, where he srudied and made rec­ommendations on that country's school system. \iVhile there he earned a second doctorate from the 111ver­sity of Cuzco. Through this assign­mentand the publishingofhis doctoral dissertation, John came to the atten­tion of Columbia University, under whose auspices he rerurned to Peru for about seven years as an education consultant. This was fol lowed by nvo years as a consultant to the governor of Puerto Rico. Back on the U.S. main­land,John decided as a change of pace to enroll in a pottery class in Georgia, where he developed the abil ity to throw and decorate a marketable pot. He backpacked across Europe, got to Jerusalem and there, without any ad­vice from Roney VVi l l iams, opened a pottery studio. This proved to be a short- lived venrure, but a migration to t h e . K . a n d u l t imate ly t h e Pembrokeshire area of\t\Tales was more successful . There John opened an­other pottery srudio in a l ittle-used building on the estate where he was living. Five years later, while on a skiing vacation in the lps, John dis­covered this really neat Swiss ski in­structor. \t\Thether Ingrid was attracted by John's well-executed stem christies or his mellow flute f did not inquire, but the year 2000 marks their 2 5th wedding anniversary. They have a

daug·hter and two sons aged 1 7 , 20 and 1 3 . Joh n is now retired. The pottery business is a thing of the past.John and Ingrid continue to keep several hives of bees and travel much, and assuming fai r winds and tides,John can be found on t h e i r s loop sa i l i n g a long the Pembrokeshire coast, perhaps one of the world's most delightful sai l ing ar­eas-second only, of course, to the coast of Down East Maine.

She sti l l enjoys her teaching of remedial reading to lower grade snidents in an Arlington, Va., public school and enjoys having the i r two chi l d re n , Suzann a n d Jonathan, working· nearby. She's had news from Dale Ackley Pluta in Vienna,Va., that she and her parents and sister enjoyed a renirn ''isit to Colby last summer with a nostalgic picnic in front of Coburn.

Judy Spear freelances as an editor spe­cia l izing in art and architectural his­tory and em'iron mental issues i n Lancaster, Mass. J\ I uch of her time this year has been spent in advocating for tl1e preservation of Lancaster's historic town green and tl1e classic symmetry of its 1 8 1 6 First Church, designed by Charles Bul lfinch. Feel­ing tlrnt a proposed addition to tl1e church would not only change tl1e church's architectural integri�· but also diminish the space and character of the town green, ] udy has written numerous articles and letters pub­l ished in local papers pointing out how historic buildings and their origi-

nal landscape are importan t for a "deeper understanding of historic events and their concepts" and that it is important to be responsible stew­ards of historic monuments and com­mon areas. This advocacy has been a challenge as the Massachusetts H is­torical Commission recently ruled that the addition as currently planned by the church can proceed. Hope­fu l ly,] udy and other concerned pres­ervationists can turn the tide.

Re­union 1vi l l be the weekend of Jw1e 8- 1 0, 200 1 , with a pre-reunion event scheduled for Thursday evening and Friday, June 7 and 8. 'Watch for re­uruon reminders and updates, and let's see how many classmates each of us can encourage to attend. Reunions are great Colby events and a great way to reacquaint ourselves with old friends and with the constantly grow­ing Colby faci l i ties and programs . . . . My husband, Frank Zaremba '64, and I have had a wonderful personal and professional year. As a fami ly we at­tended the opening of the South Carolina Aquarium, the culmination of many years' work for Frank and colleagues. Our children have grown up with dad going to Charleston, S.C. , as the aquarium project pro­gressed, and it was fun to join all of Charleston in the celebration of its opening the weekend of May 20, 2000. \Ne a lso took the opportunity tO meet Sue Turner and her husband, Karl, for lunch the day of the Charleston Aquarium opening. Two weeks later we enjoyed the excitement, fun and ce lebra t ion o f the w e d d i n g i n Chatham, Mass . , o f our older daugh­ter, Karen, to i\1 ichael Fox, whom we have come to know and love. A month later we were ready to put our feet up and relax and went to the Grand Tetons, Yel lowstone and Glacier na­tional parks for nvo weeks. This fal l our younger daughter has headed off tO Savannah, Ga. , for a master's pro­gram in hist0ric presen>ation at Sa­''annah College of Art and Design . . . . John Tara sent a wonderful e-mail '' ith attached photo to Frank Finizio bemoaning the fact that his Full Dress Harley had been stolen on his way to ,\ lyrtle Beach , . C. However, he re­ported the good news that he used the insurance proceeds to purchase a

Low Rider and that l i fe was good . . . . Peter Blumenthal wrote that h is son Richard '93 was with Outward Bound in Florida for five years and has moved back to Boston, where h is wife-to-be wi l l attend graduate school. Son Seth '97 is teaching history at a private secondary school in \Na l tham, Mass. Peter sold his business (a retai l chain of picture fram i n g stores ca l l ed Framekjng) two years ago, with the short-term goal of competing in the I ron man Triathlon in Hawai i . I n Au­gust a year ago while on a training ride on his bicycle he was h i t by a car and suffered a broken neck. Miracu­lously, he was not paralyzed or k j l led . After a lengthy recuperation, he was able to get back on h is bike and successful ly complete two triathlons last spring. So as not to have to make a decision about what to do with the rest of h is l i fe, Peter, his w ife and young daughter decided to move to Jerusa lem for a year. \!\Tith no plans, the Blumenthals anticipate simply finding exciting things to do once they arrive. Any Colby a lums who are passing through should give a cal l (0 1 1 -972-2-5 8 1 -42 7 1 ), and they wil l receive a most hearty welcome' . . . Allen and J anet M eyer Throop wrote that on July 7 Jerri Hamil ton Bost '65, the Throops and Elena and Peter Anderson walked across the G o l d e n G a te B r i d g e .

Sue Turner wrote that she recently en­joyed spending the 4th of J uly in B rooks, Maine, wi th Linda Hal l Lord, Linda's husband, Russe l l , and their family. Sue , husband Karl and daughter Alissa spent s ix weeks in Sal isbury Cove, N laine, whi le Karl worked at the bio lab and Sue paddled as much as possi ble. Alissa, 1 6, ex­pands their world through her travels to band weekends in various parts of South Carol ina . Sue's special memo­ries of Colby include the day that Henry Holland tossed a pamphlet at her and said, " H ere. Go see a l lama." That pamphlet ofa study abroad pro­gram in Peru changed her l i fe . The Peru group had their 3 5 th reunion in July, and 1 7 of the 20 participants, plus the di rectors and fami l ies, at­tended. Another special memory is of George Coleman's Geology I 0 I class, which Sue was determined to hate, but it took her only about five min­utes to rea l ize how lucky she was that

olby made her take a lab science'

/ sarah hu High Seas Health Care

Contrary to what you may have heard, the biggest threat on the h igh

seas is not "The Perfect Storm . " For the crews of the tan kers and ca rgo

sh i ps that traverse the world's oceans, the real th reat may be heart

attacks, burns, in ju ries suffered in fa ! ls or explosions-h u ndreds of

mi les from possible rescue.

That's where the knowledge i m pa rted by Sara h H udson '69 can

make the d i fference between l ife and death . A trainer of emergency

med ical technic ians and a professor of sh i p's medicine at Maine

Mar it ime Academy, H udson teaches future merchant seamen and

officers to provide med ical treatment at sea . "With EMT stuff, we tra in

them to take care of the patient, get r id of the patient in ha l f an hour , "

she sa id . "The students who go to sea have to learn to take care of the

patient for fou r or five days in the middle of the Atlantic . "

That's how long it can take a dee p-water s h i p to come with in reach of even the most far-ranging rescue hel icopters. Unt i l help arrives,

H udson's students, tra i ned as shi p's medical officers but u sual ly doing

other shi pboard jobs, m ust perform tasks that would fa l l to an entire

hospital staff on land. "They have to start IVs and suture and catheter­

ize people , " H udson sa i d . "They're it . "

At Ma ine Mar it ime (enrol lment about 700), a l l students take basic

shi p's medic i ne, she sa id . About 20 students each year take

advanced sh i p's medic ine . H udson sa id she a lso teaches the

course to veteran deep-water capta i ns a nd tra nsatlantic

Marit ime hol iday brea ks. H udson came to sh i p's medic ine through

her work on dry land. An economics and

busi ness admin istration major at Colby,

the Pittsburgh native moved to B l ue H i l l

with h e r parents soon after grad uation. She tra ined as an EMT at B l ue H i l l

Hospital that year a n d started working

with B lue Hi l l Ambu lance. She moved to

nearby Casti ne, home of Ma ine Marit ime,

in 1975 and two years later started

Linda (Mitchell '66) and Lee Potter have watched both their boys march down the aisle in the past two years and now have turned their interests to another shared love: skiing. Lee and Linda have purchased a ski chalet in central Vermont and intend to spend many weekends and vacations tl1ere . . . . Last fa l l a fascinating PBS series called

" \\later: The Drop of L i fe" a i red on stations throughout the country, showing breathtaking footage from around the world . If you paid atten­tion to the credits you noted that tl1e chief writer of the series is Bob Field. Bob has been traveling the world fi lm­ing the series and te l ls us that i t pro­vides him with chal lenge and reward. Bob has been writing and producing documentary videos for some time and recently ,,·as recognized by his professional organization when he re­ceived a Gold Slate for two of his works . . . . Joe Candida's daughter, Jean, has enrolled as a freshman at St.

teaching the more compl icated medical proced u res req u i red . " M y gift

is that I can s impl ify things , " H udson sa id . "You j ust treat the human body as a machi ne-I teach the k ids , i f there's a hole somewhere, p lug

And they d o . With sh ips typica l ly a t sea with one shi p's med ical officer, a ful ly stocked pharmacy and satel l i te l i n ks to doctors on shore,

H udson's students cope with myriad med ical emergencies. She hears

world . "They'll say, 'Oh, gosh. You won't bel ieve what I had to do ,"'

H udson sa i d .

A s on land , some patients a board sh ip don't survive. But s o f a r the

smal lest patients have made it . "We've actually had seven students

who had to del iver babies at sea , " H udson said . "They've a l l been

refugee babies, so they've been in terrible conditions, but, knock wood ,

they've a 1 1 survived . "

Whi le her former students sh ip out , H udson stays i n port. She l ives

with her sister in Castine in a house overlooking East Penobscot Bay.

She contin ues to tra i n students for land duty ( Ma ine Marit ime

s u ppl ies EMTs for Cast ine Ambulance) and to d ispense

common sense advice: "J ust slow down and fix what you can

fix and i f you can't fix i t , you j u st have to take a deep breath

and do the best you can and give the patient T LC.

Hand hold ing is i m portant. Hand hold ing is probably

the most im portant thing people do. "

H udson prescri bes handhold ing; i n return

she gets the not-so-occas1onal pat on the back.

"I guess you're always surprised when you

6 9 Leslie Podgus Blanding re­ports that she is now starting her third year as a fu l l-time high school German teacher in M a nchester, N.H., a position that includes run­ning an annual exchange program. The annual visits from and to her school's parmer school in Neustadt, Germany, are definitely the best part of the job, if a lso tl1e most strenuous. The sa·angest thing, she says, is to be working in the field she majored in at Colby . . . . William H . Lyons was recently appointed to a chaired pro­fessorship at the University of Ne­braska College of Law-the Richard H. Larson Professorship of Tax Law. He will be a visiting professor at the Verm o n t Law School in South Royalton, Vt., during the spring 2 00 1 semester. . . . Our thanks to Sari Abul­Jubein, who has taken on the position of class correspondent for the Class of '69. As of last October, all correspon­dence is being routed his way.

JQ On behalfofour class, I ' l l ike to thank Steve Cline, who per­formed the duties ofclass correspon­dent so beautiful ly over the past five years. He kept us entertained and

informed and in so doi ng provided us with that l i ttle extra measure of class identity, which i s the effect of a wel l-written column. Thanks, Steve -you've passed a bright torch 1 And I 'd l i ke to thank a l l of you who have entrusted me with this pleasant task for the next five years. I can tel l you from past experience that being class correspondent i s a great way to feel a connection with the school , as is serv ing on the Alumni Counci l , w h i c h I hereby a l s o recommend (right, PhiP). I t's guaranteed to make you proud of your Colby connec­tion. And now my modest charge to you : your column w i l l only be as good as the in formation I receive from you. Just remember how nice it is to hear news of your class­mates-your news is part of that in formation pool, so take a few min­utes and drop me a l ine . . . . We had a wonderful Reunion \Neekend in June , kicked off in the Portland area with a dinner/brunch/golf com bi­nat ion and fol lowed by severa l cam­pus events, including a barbecue, an im pressive prese ntat ion by Stu Rothenberg, o u r class dinner with feaui red guest Professor of Engl ish John Sweney and a del igh tful visit from Bill and Linda Cotter. The Cotters have served the College with marvelous grace and success, and we wish them a pleasant retirement . . . . Notwithstanding the fact that we have managed to edge toward the front of the reunion parade (when did that happen 1 ) , we enthusiasti­cally kicked up our heels a t the dance on Sauirday n ight and didn't draw a deep breath from the time we reached the campus unti l the time we left. I t was just s o wonderful t o see s o many of us a l l together. Many of us men­tioned how integral to our l ives these reunions have become over the years and how truly important we have become to each other as we lead interesting l ives, make interesting choices, blossom continual ly. Great to see: Molly, Barb, Hawk (what's her fi rst name'), Joni, Phi l , Todd, Skip, Peter, Andy, Andy, Sandy, Chip, Judi, Linda, Peter, Dave, Linda, Steve, Laura, Bi l l, Ken,Jeff, Sandra, Steve, Debbie,] udy, Mike, Chickie, Paula, Sue, Ron, Marlene, Stu, Brenda, Ell ie, Anne, Nicky, Jeff, Dan, Donna and many spouses who have become a valued part of this group.

J 3 News from our class continues to be sl im. Please take a few minutes and drop me a line about what's go­ing on in your l ife. Better yet, e-mail me, l ike Susan Schink did. Susan and I grew up in Ridgewood, N.J . , where she continues to live, so her news strikes home for me. In February in the midst of a major l i fe change, Su­san left a 2 5-year career in corporate communications and market research to pursue a master's in divinity de­gree from Union Theological Semi­nary in New York City. She aspires to be ordained as a priest in the Episco­pal Church. This past summer she completed a chaplaincy training pro­gram at Valley Hospital in Ridgewood and then joined the staff there as a flex-contingent staff chaplain. She writes that as "a card-carrying stu­dent again, !her] feet love white socks and running shoes instead of panty hose and heels." In her spare time she continues as a director of the l n;:erna­tional Photographic Council and as an NGO at the UN, and she does the scholarship programs for photojour­nal ism students. She is also a trustee for the Y\\'CA in Bergen County,

'.] . usan stays in touch "·ith teve Capaldo '74 and his wife, Christie Pope, who l i,•e in Oahil le, Ont., Canada. Steve ''isited Susan while he interned at the United Nations for a week in .July . . . . I was fornmate this summer to meet Stuart Wolf at

i\lohonk :\ Iountain House in 'ew Paltz, N.Y., where I work. Stuart, his wife,Joan, their two sons, ages 1 3 and 7 , and his mother-in-law vacationed at Mohonk for five days in August. Suiart is principal at a school in Groton, Conn., which is largely at­tended by children of Navy sta ff. He regularly sees Jack Fine, who lives in Gainesvi l le, Fla., with his wife and two children, ages 1 6 and 1 3 . Accord­ing to Suiart,Jack is a very successful lawyer who handles h igh-profi l e cases. Stuart looks fit and healthy­hardly l ike someone with college classmates who are fast approaching 50. He's contemplating a job change, and we mused about career moves (a year ago I left my job as a tenured faculty member at a community col­lege to become general manager at a resort hotel) and retirement years. So al l of this makes me wonder about what mid-life changes the rest of you ma)' be experiencing. Please write and share your news.

Last September their program was presented at Colby as part of the first-year student wellness seminar series. Terry a lso wrote that Barbara Bullock visited her last winter.

It would be nice to get more people to write in our guest book, especia l ly with our 20th re­m1ion coming up.
