Received a note from Emma Root (aka Marcia Areutzeu, MIT '64) that classmate, Stephen C. Root is still at Digital as senior consulting engineer "placing" wires on chips by CAD. Steve and Emma seem to enjoy extracting blood in cutthroat games of SCRABBLE. Steve is keeping fit with volleyball, softball and taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Son Jonathan (MIT III, '87) is looking for a new job in materials science. Son David is studying geology (MIT XII, '95?) - (that brings back memories of the good old days at Crystal Cliffs, the MIT Geology field camp near Antigonish, Nova Scotia) - or Earth and Planetary Sciences, if you prefer. Daughter Meredith a sophomore at Bard College (just south of Albany, NY), and Daughter Victoria flourishes in the 2nd Grade in Westboro, MA, where Emma stays busy with church and garden activities when not looking after the 25th reunion (for MIT '64) clearing-up.
The November, 1990, Libertarian Party News, carried the announcement that Andre Marrou is already running for the President of the U.S. (vintage 1992) as a potential nominee of the Libertarian Party. Andre was the vice- presidential candidate of the Libertarian Party in the 1988 national election. He is quoted: "I have a passion for liberty. I don't just want to read about it, write about it, debate it, discuss it, and imagine it. I want to live the Libertarian Dream. Live in a world of individual liberty and self-responsibility. Because I'm serious about my passion for liberty, I take responsibility for creating liberty, not passively waiting for it." Andre served as Libertarian state representative in the Alaska House of Representatives from 1985=A91987. So if you're fed up with the normal fare of the Republicans and Democrats (like the 1990 elections proved in Massachusetts) you have the choice of supporting Andre as the Libertarian candidate - I'm sure at least one other classmate supports the Libertarian party platform since Dave Koch ran on the 1980 ticket as LP Vice Presidential candidate.
News item from the Manchester (NH) Union Leader: classmate Allen Charles Hill, architectural historian from Winchester, MA, spoke to the Goffstown Historic District Commission on the topic: "Houses Hot, Houses Cool - Classical and Romantic Streams in American Domestic Architecture, 1720 to 1915." Allen specializes in the preservation, restoration and rehabilitation of old buildings. He has degrees from Dartmouth and the University of Pennsylvania in addition to his experiences at MIT and Boston University.
According to the September 20, 1990, edition of the Wall Street Journal, classmate Charles G. Heinrich has resigned as President and CEO of Sherritt Gordon, Ltd.,of
Edmonton, Canada. The New York Times of September 24,1990, carried the news that classmate Dr. David W. Martin, Jr., is now the Head of Research & Development for DuPont Merck Pharmaceuticals Company. Dave was formerly Senior Vice President and Chief of Research & Development of Genetech, Inc., in San Francisco, CA.
Judith A. Allik writes that "although I've met the criteria for several years, I have NEVER received a single copy of Technology Review." Judy, I remember those fun days in our freshman section when we met the criteria for lots of things and still got the old MIT runaround, but we hope this gets the attention of our friends at the Review and that they will now put you on the mailing list. At least they passed along your complaint to me as class secretary for memorialization in our Class Notes. I can still remember those great parties at Bexley Hall - three cheers for the Tech Coeds.
Dr. Steven J. Brams has published another book: Negotiation Games: Applying Game Theory to Bargaining and Arbitration. This latest in Steve's publication career was released in both hardcover and paperback editions by Routledge in November, 1990. Steve writes that he will be commuting to Yale to teach during the Spring of 1991.
It was nice to get some real news this month. Mary and I are spending the holidays in Gloucester at "Casa du Nord" with the ocean view, as a pleasant change from "Casa du Sud" in Birmingham.
