January 1982

Since Doug McLeod, our class secretary, will be in Europe for an extended period of time, I am pleased to announce the appointment of Barb (Wilson) Crane as interim secretary. This column is particularly essential now because of our upcoming 5th Reunion in June. For this month, I will try to recount what I've learned about some of our classmates. Since I'm living back home in Columbus, my contacts with the East and West Coasts are limited, but I'm hoping this report will spur some of you to pen a quick note to Barb so that our class notes section can be full and entertaining once again.

First of all, wedding bells sounded recently for our class agent, Carol Catalano, who was married to Tom Martin, '76, last September. Congratulations, Carol!....Frank Richardson continues to compete seriously and successfully at distance running while studying veterinary medicine at Iowa State. On October 11, he captured runner-up honors in the prestigious Columbus Bank One Marathon with a time of two hours and 14 minutes (that's a five-minutes-per-mile pace!)....A transformed runner is Pete Moss, who works for an engineering firm in Belmont. He's taken up road racing after having been the M.I.T. varsity's first singles tennis player a few years ago. He competes regularly in Boston area road races and had performed admirably....Rich Maebius and I get together a couple times a year for Ohio State football games and Pittsburgh Pirates baseball. He's now with PPG and was recently promoted to senior engineer. Rich also serves on M.I.T.'s Pittsburgh area Educational Council.

In September, I visited briefly with Joe Egan and his charming wife Sheila during a trip to Chicago. After spending a year with the Argonne National Laboratory, Joe is now doing consulting work and free-lance writing....Lisa Chan, having earned her doctorate in chemical engineering at M.I.T. is here in Columbus with Battelle....Ed Hammer and Jan Krakauer are enrolled in business school. Ed, who is serving on the class reunion committee, is finishing his final year at Harvard. Jan is enjoying a more temperate climate at the University of Virginia....Another reunion committee member, Charlie Shooshan, having completed his legal studies, is working for the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and living in Watertown....Yet a third reunion committee member, Jay Gross, is alive and well in North Andover and is employed with a subsidiary of the Chase Manhattan Bank.

As for me, it's great to be home in the glorious Midwest! I'm working for AccuRay Corp., a manufacturer of computerized process control systems, and pursuing an M.B.A. evenings at Ohio State. I was elected recently to the Greater Hilltop Area Commission, a west Columbus development and municipal advisory body, and keep amply busy with all of the above plus EC work.

Please write to Barb and tell her what you've been doing--true or not. Her address is 6431 Galway Dr., Colorado Springs, CO 80907. Dave Dobos, President, 1914 Vaughn St., Columbus, OH

February / March 1982

For my first column as secretary pro-tem I am fortunate to have lots of mail from our class. Starting from the West Coast, Robert Byard married Karen Despain in 1978. He received his M.S. degree in computer science at the University of Utah in 1979, and now has a one-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Barbara Jean. Robert is working at Hewlett Packard Data Systems Division in the Bay area, and is attempting to make his fortune in high-tech stocks. Good luck, Robert!....JoAnn Ivester has graduated from Stanford Business School and is now working for the San Francisco Municipal Railway. Husband Jonathan, '78, spent the summer working in a geothermal lab in the Geysers area of California while living in Napa Valley....Dan Leighton notes that he has moved to San Francisco for a few months "because the wind is better in the summertime." Dan, have you taken up kites or hang-gliding?

Moving on to the East Coast, Jan Krakauer is studying for his MBA at the University of Virginia....Mark C. Van Stolk has just started a new job with Schnittker Assoc. in Washington, D.C., as a commodity analyst....Sue Stewart is spending her time doing "lots of gardening," and a project in yeast genetics at Brandeis, where she is in her third year of graduate school.

Michael Cady has recently been promoted to senior project manager for Manganaro Corp. in Malden, Mass. Congratulations, Michael! Michael also reports that Barbara Hill, '80, has joined Manganaro Corp. as an assistant project manager....Kevin Miller is currently serving his internship at Hartford Hospital. Kevin intends to specialize in psychiatry, and hopes to do some research during his residency.

Ken Arbit has spent three busy years as a systems analyst/programmer/salesman for a division of CDC while being a full-time MBA student at Rutgers. After graduating in May, Ken bicycled from New Jersey to Boston for a visit. In June, Ken moved to Israel and is "having a wonderful time getting acclimated." Ken volunteered a tour of Jerusalem; drop him a line at: Ein Rogel, 16/12, Jerusalem, Israel.

As for myself, I am working for Digital Equipment Corp. here in Colorado Springs. My husband Mark, '76, and I have bought our first home, which has a marvelous view of Pikes Peak. Mark and I have helped organize an Educational Council for Colorado Springs, and are enjoying ourselves very much here. I'm still active in roller skating, as well as judging competitions. To all of you whose names have changed since you were at M.I.T. please note your old name on information for class notes, as well as your present name. This will help those who have lost touch to recognize you in the notes. -- Barbara Crane (nee Wilson), Secretary, 6431 Galway Dr., Colorado Springs, CO 80907
