News from a small island
This class of '60 alumnus lives across the country in the San Juan Islands in Washington State. I remain involved in education of one sort or another. I tell traditional folktales in our elementary school on Lopez Island, and am active with the Family Resource Center here as a mentor. 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.

From Tony Ittleson itt@lowcountry.com
My wife and I recently celebrated my 80th birthday in Italy with friends. Coming year travel plans include a cruise with friends and going to Rwanda to meet and greet the gorillas. I will, as always, be working on behalf of Brown. In the current campaign I am on the Executive Committee of the Trustee Emeriti and Co-Chair of their fundraising efforts. Also in the next year my oldest granddaughter will (I hope) be graduating from our esteemed University. My grandson, who will be a Brown sophomore, continues the family tradition.
From Paul Choquette pchoquette@gilbaneco.com
I can report eight grandchildren with the first two heading off to college (Notre Dame and Duke). I am not retired - but "retiring" - and in good health as is Libba.

From Jim Bower jasmbower@gmail.com
After retiring from the San Miguel School last June, I was delighted to be invited back to run an enrichment class for a group of 6th 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 (they're obviously desperate). Hope to hear from everyone.
From Joan Hoost McMaster jcaryll1@hotmail.com
I am very active in the volunteer community in Providence and Rhode Island and have held many leadership positions over the years including Past President of the Kent County Alumnae Club and elected member of the Associates Council of the Pembroke Center. I am also the owner of McMaster Associates and offer consulting work for local non-profits. Very rewarding work! Annually, I host a Women Authors Luncheon for the Junior League of Rhode Island which has been quite successful and I was recently featured as the Sustainer Spotlight in its Anchor publication. I served as Class President from 1975-80 and have hosted many Pembroke mini-reunions in the past.
From Bill Brisk billbrisk@briskelderlaw.com
I am still active in my law practice specializing in elder law. I’ve 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, I plan to initiate a course for a community group of “seniors.” 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, a Brown graduate whose father is Deepak Chopra. The course will focus on learning from a book’s strategies about making serious changes and keeping commitments as we age. We would 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.

Jane Doane Anderson recommends a recipe from The Carberry Cookbook: from
nuts to soup that she has tried successfully!
Barnaby Keeney’s Newport Fish Chowder from “The Carberry Cookbook” 1992 by the Friends of the Library of Brown University
4-5 lb tautog (haddock is fine) salt and pepper
water(or clam broth) for boiling marjoram
¼ lb salt pork ¼ lemon
6 medium onions milk
6 potatoes pilot crackers
Catch a 4 or 5lb toutag. Gut it, then boil the whole fish gently for ten minutes. While it is boiling, dice the salt pork and fry it. Remove the salt pork and save the grease. Slice thin 6 medium onions and fry them in the grease until slightly brown. Dice 6 potatoes. Remove the skin and bones from the fish. Save the liquid which should be strained. Place the fish back in the liquid, add potatoes and onions, salt, pepper, marjoram and ¼ lemon, and boil for 20 minutes. Set aside until jellied , then rewarm without boiling after adding an equal amount of milk to the liquid, along with the diced salt pork. Serve with pilot crackers. Get hamburgers for your children.
Barnaby C. Keeney was president of Brown from 1955 until 1966.
At commencment on June 6, 1966, Carberry was awarded a Master’s degree, ad eundum (awarded in absentia, of course, since the Professor was travelling at the time.)

From class of 1960 scholarship recipient:
SAMUEL MALAKHOVSKY ’16
2RD YEAR RECIPIENT
ANDOVER, MA
PSYCHOLOGY
My primary extracurricular work has been as an emergency medical technician.
I work/volunteer as an EMT both at Brown University EMS and at a neighboring
town fire department (Warren FD). It is an extremely informative experience
both in patient care and in performance under pressure, and I thoroughly enjoy
and value it.
My concentration in psychology is an evolution of the original academic path
that I anticipated when I began at Brown. I originally entered Brown with the
goal of concentrating in cognitive neuroscience. These concentrations are
related, and during my time at Brown I learned that psychology was more
representative of my interests.
I am tremendously grateful to you for affording me the chance to attend Brown.
I cannot imagine myself at any other university and I believe that Brown has
made a tremendous difference in my life. The chance to focus on my education
and growth without constant fear and concern for my finances is invaluable.
May 2015
Martha White Keister died on May 1, 2015. Follow this link to Martha's obituary .
Her many friends remember her and her talent as a quilter.
Our lives are like quilts
We piece them together
With smiles and tears
Color them with memories
And bind them with love

Class of 1960 National Scholarship Recipient
Thanks to our generous support of financial aid through the class of 1960 National Scholarship,
Samuel Malakhovsky ’16 is able to realize his dream of receiving a world-class
education at Brown University. Samuel is a sophomore from Andover MA who hopes one day to
become a physician. He writes, “My freshman year was a tremendous opportunity to grow
academically, socially and even professionally. If I had to identify one thing Brown has taught me
about myself, it would be that, as clichéd as it sounds, the ‘journey is more important than the
destination.’”
Samuel’s positive attitude has allowed him to take risks and get the most out of whatever he is
doing. Last year he confronted a course traditionally feared among college students:
Organic Chemistry. Determined not to let the challenging subject matter deter him, Samuel put
all of his energy into the course and it turned out to be his favorite class.
Samuel is a student in the Program in Liberal Medical Education and recently decided to shift his
concentration from neuroscience to psychology. He says that a degree in psychology will allow
him to continue to pursue his interests in the brain while also allowing him to learn about the mind
and behavior.

Ed Nicholson emerges from the half mile swim at a Rangeley, ME triathlon Labor Day weekend, 2008 (Two other "geezers" did the bike and swim parts of the relay.
The team did very well, considering everyone else was 20 or more years younger!)

Jane Anderson riding in the Granite State Wheelmen's Seacoast Century Ride on a beautiful fall weekend. It took two days of 50 miles each. What an enjoyable experience riding along the the coast and through the old villages. (I won't be riding to Providence for our 50th reunion - I'd never make it up College Hill!)

Barbara Nicholson writes: As you can see, we just came back from a wonderful gathering. The ten of us who have remained who have remained so close and re-uned for so many years (mostly on the East Coast), decided to go to CO this time, as both
Martha and Peggy now live there. They did a wonderful job of investigating places to stay, providing provisions, and welcoming everyone. Our husbands have always come too, and have come to know each other over all these many years.....so they were happy campers. The weather was splendid, the accommodations were magnificent, and the friendships stronger than ever. We had so much fun going through
our yearbook, telling stories, reviewing who roomed with who all the way through, in which room, who lived across the hall etc. etc. etc. We then all went to one of the computers provided in our chalet and pulled up the class of '60 website, and read through all the news
and notes. September 2007

Aside from a couple of entries into Brown Alumnae Directories over many years and a few recent emails to two or three of you, I've been completely out of touch with all of you for 47+ years. A few highlights: I received a Ph.D. in biochemistry at the Univ. of Conn. in Storrs in 1968, completed two years of postdoctoral training in biochemistry at Cornell in Ithaca and then spent the next 35 years in academe at various faculty ranks, teaching and doing primarily NIH-supported research in various aspects of membranes and bioenergetics. I had become interested in all things mitochondrial while a graduate student in Connecticut. My first academic appointment beginning in 1970 was at Rutgers in New Jersey but my last 28 years in the States starting in 1977 were spent in the Dept. of Pharmacology and Cell Biophysics at the Univ. of Cincinnati Coll. of Med. where 70% of my time was devoted to research in cardiac muscle bioenergetics in normal and ischemic hearts and the remainder to teaching pharmacology to the second year medical students and to a few specialized graduate courses in my areas of expertise. In 1970 while still at Cornell, I met and married a Canadian, Virginia Watson who remained a Canadian citizen for the 35 years we spent together in the States. In July of 2005 we retired and moved to lovely coastal British Columbia on Vancouver Island just north of Victoria where we have a spectacular home, many new friends and a 33.5 foot Hunter sloop that we sail in the Southern Gulf and San Juan Islands. Oh yes, when we're not sailing the scenic seas of coastal BC, I curl, a sport with which I was totally unacquainted before moving here, but over which I've become quite an enthusiast. I still collect minerals and fossils, something I began doing at age 11 in the 6th grade at John Howland School in Providence. I grew up in Providence and was a commuting student living at 21 Eames St. on the East-Side of town. My last visit to Providence was in 1992 for the funeral of my mother who died in Jan. of that year at age 90. As of this writing, most of my family has either died or relocated outside of Rhode Island. My sister Joan lives with her son and his family in Brussels, Belgium. An older brother Sam lives with his wife of 66 years in Salem, Oregon. I'm still considering whether or not to attend our 50th Class Reunion. If I do, it will most likely be my last visit to the city of my childhood, a place that has undergone a dramatic renovation since my time there. August 2007
Stu Doling writes : Went to the Vermont Teddy Bear Factory this afternoon and had a guided tour of
the factory. It was very “bearable”. We were shown bear guts (stuffing) and the wonderful
machine that turns the bears inside out after they are sewn together. As I was getting ready to
leave, the head bear came up to me and said that I resembled a “Brown” bear and did I know that
they had one working in the legal department. I of course, had to see this for myself. It turned
out I knew him from my class and we had a great time and he decided to come home with me for a
while since he was ready for retirement anyhow. Here are some pictures.

What a good looking fellow.
What a coincidence, my class too.
He was pooped and fell asleep, I'll let him rest.
It's been a long time since I've been in touch with the Class of 1960. I have been
meaning to send in a class note for quite a while, and after finally checking out the
Class of '60 Web page I decided that now's the time.
My wife Judy and I are doing well, and still living in Hampton, Virginia. I retired from NASA's
Langley Research Center in September of 2003 after working there as a research engineer
for over 40 years -- how time passes! Along the way, I picked up an MSE from Princeton,
a Ph.D. from the University of Virginia (both in aerospace engineering), and an MA from
William and Mary (computer science). Now I'm working part time as a consultant to Langley
on software engineering. Judy works part time, too, as an eating center manager for the local Agency on Aging.
Our children, David and Andy, are both married now. David has two kids of his own:
Jeffrey is 12 and Michelle is 10. It's great to have grandkids! They live in the D.C. area,
so we get to visit with them pretty often. Andy and his wife live in Manhattan, New York City
and we get to see them there at least once a year and other places between times.
The family picture was taken a couple of years ago.
In addition to visiting our family, Judy and I enjoy traveling and taking classes with the local branch of the Lifelong Learning Society, connected to Christopher Newport University.
I'm especially enjoying the art classes. Summer 2007
I retired in 1999 after practicing Pediatrics for 30 years. I currently spend my time between my homes in Sarasota, Fl., Boston, Ma.,and Falmouth, Ma. Fortunately for me ,I discovered that many of my classmates have homes in these areas and have managed to reconnect with several of them in the past few years. I attended our 45th reunion and am looking forward to seeing many of you who did not manage to come at our 50th. In the meantime , I shall continue to help raise money for my medical school and various charities and to travel as much as possible. Wishing all of you good health and prosperity until we meet again. Barbara A Hajjar MD Summer 2007
I've been an expatriate for 30 years, mostly in the UK. Mary, my partner, and I have been together for ten years; we sing in the Canterbury Choral Society in Canterbury Cathedral, live in the middle of Canterbury and take a lot of walking holidays (vacations). We just came back from the Bernese Oberland (see picture) and in September will do our annual self-guided walk in Italy. Last year it was Siena to Florence; this year Viterbo to Ovieto. My family is quite spread out: I have a step-son in Las Vegas married to a Philippino(a), a step-daughter in Brussels married to a Greek, and a daughter, Heather, who lives in Marbella married to a Spaniard (they arrange weddings and cater dinners); Mary's son is in London married to a Czech, Lenka, and her daughter is in San Francisco living with an Australian. Heather and Lenka have recently produced a grandson each. Hey, get in touch: I'm at david.sadtler@googlemail.com.
Summer 2007
The following news is about my recent activities. I recently joined Starpoint Solar Inc., working on state of the art technology on solar power and solar concentrator dishes. Leading solar power technology relies on solar concentrators and collectors. My group efforts are focused on the use of innovative material, coating and plating technology and new dish configurations. You will hear more from us.
I am also active in the World Harmony Organization. For more information about World Harmony Organization please visit our website www.worldharmonyorg.net and our blogsite www.worldharmonyforum.blogspot.com Our blogsite has over 40 essays published on world harmony. October 2008
WORLD HARMONY PRESENTATION BY FRANCIS C.W. FUNG TO ROTARY CLUB AT MILL VALLEY COUNTRY CLUB, CA
INTRODUCTION BY ERIC CHIPPS
”Dr. Fung has initiated the World Harmony Organization in North America and has already attracted interest and support. It is a growing influence in North America, Europe and China from important figures in academic and social circles, economics and politics, as well as a growing number of concerned citizens in many countries.
Clearly, the policies of confrontation currently contributing so much to world tensions are unproductive, as well as damaging to the progress of society. By developing the ancient Chinese promotion of harmony, the Organization hopes that harmony diplomacy can become again the third pillar in supporting democracy and religious principle as the foundation of a more peaceful and productive world.
By his talk today; Dr. Fung hopes to generate recognition among influential people of the role that a young, dynamic America, endowed with resources should be advocating harmony renaissance.
The first World Harmony Cultural Festival will be launched on September 16th, co-sponsored by World Harmony Organization and other distinguished organizations and individuals.”
Eric Chipps, Chipps and Associates May 2007
Thanks for sharing this link with me. It was nice to learn a little about people I had thoroughly forgotten. We currently have 6 grandchildren under 5--two boys and 4 girls. Three of our 4 daughters may each have at least one more. So that by 2010 we could finally reach 9 or 10, but whose counting anyway. They were each planning to have 3, but our oldest gave up after 2, and our youngest doesn't want to start until she reaches 30, which will occur next May. I retired from the Federal government last June and find retirement to be a very busy lifestyle doing a ton of charity work and visiting with daughters and grandchildren in Ohio, Florida, and Virginia. I have never been to a Brown reunion and my only trip to the campus was with our oldest daughter who rejected applying because she felt it was too liberal. She is a strident Democrat like her mother by the way. She also didn't like Harvard or Princeton and opted for UVA. During the mid-1960's, I did interviews of high school seniors in the Washington, DC area. I was pleased that the admissions office took every student that I recommended and rejected every one I did not recommend. But when I went to work for the government in 1969, there was no time for such activities. I will follow activities building up to the 50th reunion with interest; I went to my 50th from Andover last June.

This photo on the right was taken on April 20, 2007 at the New Britain Museum of American Art. The Pembrokers in the photo attended opening of the exhibit titled "California in Connecticut: The Joanne and William Rees Collection. Left to right are Minna Saxe, Suzanne Werber Dworsky, Joanne Tenedine Rees, Marjorie Tingle, Barbara Jones Nicholson, Barbara Little Jaffe and Hope Cranska.
Our classmate Joanne (Tenedine) Rees and her husband Bill have collected art for many years, and we've seen their collection grow to occupy every spare inch of their New Haven home. Now it's available for everyone to see.....65 works created since the 1960's by San Francisco Bay area and other California Artists. The exhibit closes July 3, 2007. We encourage classmates to go see it.......it's delightful! May 2007
I loved the 45th year Newsletter; it served its purpose and got me thinking about our 50th.
Unfortunately I will not be able to be there. Too many years of smoking have left me with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and a touch of emphysema so that I am on home oxygen 24/7. I get around very well, albeit slowly, and do many things, slowly. I have an oxygen tank that goes with me for traveling; blessed thing weighs 8 lbs, so I can shop and such. I cannot, however, walk very far at any one time and I refuse to use a wheel chair for traveling. Therefore, the walks around campus, the hills of Providence, and The Hill are out of bounds for me.
I currently live in Toledo, Ohio with my brother, Job Winters. Since graduation, I have lived in New York City and Ft Lauderdale, Fla. with a short detour to Virginia Beach, Va. Larry Hegarty and I were divorced many years ago. My career was spent in medical administration at New York Hospital/Cornell Medical Center, Presbyterian Hospital/ Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons (now merged into the megalithic monster New York –Presbyterian Hospitals/Columbia Weill Cornell Medical Center). I finished at the Cleveland Clinic-Florida, in Ft. Lauderdale. I have attached a current picture and would love to hear from old friends at crystal@iscg.net.

Todd Andrews, Brown's Vice President for Alumni Relations has announced that Becky Eckstein has been selected to receive the Brown Bear Award. This award has been given annually since 1946 to recognize "outstanding personal service rendered to the University over a period of years". The tribute reads: " Becky has been a tireless and devoted leader for Brown, serving in almost every possible volunteer area. For more than a decade she was president of the Brown Club of Suburban New Jersey. When she relocated to Providence, she was tapped for the board of the local Pembroke Club. In addition to serving as secretary and then as president of her class, Becky has served on every class of 1960 reunion gift committee for the past 25 years, co-chairing the 40th reunion gift committee. As an Alumni Interviewing Program committee chair, area coordinator,
and long-time interviewer, Becky has introduced literally hundreds of students to Brown. Although Becky's manner is modest, the loyalty she has displayed to Brown in so many capacities is something to celebrate. It's no surprise that her classmates have chosen her to
co-chair their 50th reunion in 2010." Fall 2006
I stumbled onto the class of 60 website and noticed I was on the list of 'no records" I am living in St. Louis Park, a suburb of Minneapolis, MN. My address is 4833 So. Cedar Lake Rd, St. Louis Park, MN, 55416, phone 952-377-7358. I am retired and my wife, Joan and I are enjoying traveling, our nine grand children and hobbies. I am on the board of the Minnesota Federated Humane Societies and do cruelty investigations with law inforcement for them. Even though I only attended Brown for two years I made a lot of friends and would love to hear from any of you. August 2006
I have finally taken my husband's name, so now I am Ann Hansen Knepp. I have retired from the practice of law after some 31 years. I am reverting to my nickname of Annie, also. There are two entities after my family and my church which I care about immensly, Brown University and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Imagine my excitement and joy when the Steelers took a player from Brown. I told my kids all I wanted for Christmas was a Sean Morey Steeler jersey. They didn't just get me the jersey, they had it signed by him, to me, with "InDeo Speramus" on it. It is so terrific. I was quite beside myself for a Brown player to have a superbowl ring. I may very well wear it at our 50th March down the Hill in 2010. I think this is a good idea since there is never any news in the BAM about our class. Ann Hansen Gamble Knepp (Annie) May 2006
This is my new e-mail address. Now living in Oxford, Ct. Have retired as president of Risdon/AMS Corporation in Watertown Ct. Currently have 16 grandchildren and involved with Habitat for Humanity, The Knights of Columbus, Management of Oxford Greens. May 2006
Sorry to miss yet another reunion, but I was delighted to receive the Class of 1960 Newsletter and to get updated. I was glad to hear about people I knew and reminded how many I didn't know!
I was an American Civ major. My husband Charles Davis and I came west in the '60s, and after a few years in graduate schools settled where we still live in Seattle. Since the mid-70's I have worked for the American Friends Service Committee (Quakers), relating to donors in the Pacific Northwest and midwest, running into Brown graduates, but not usually from the Class of 1960. Though I grew up in Providence, I haven't been there in years and miss it.
Thanks for putting the website together and for sending the newsletter. Greetings to classmates! May 2006
I just accessed our class web site and wanted to be sure you have the
e-mail address that Walter and I share - see above.
Walt and I have just returned from a jaunt north to Block Island. We enjoyed our quiet days there and found it very refreshing to not see any franchises on the island. We drove up and enjoyed a second spring this year!
News here is that we look to July for the births of our second and third grandchildren - both boys! Now we will enjoy three grandchildren under three years old. Taylor Kate is just over two. She and her parents live in Dallas now; our other children still live in Virginia. Treven is a brain rehab specialist and is the co-chair of the PolyTrauma Unit at the McGuire Veterans' Hospital in Richmond. His wife, Jaime, is a Veterinarian with her
own practice. They are expecting one of the two boys in July. Seth and Nicole live in Dallas where Seth has just accepted a fascinating job with EDS. Nicole, a CPA, works for IBM. They are Taylor Kate's parents and are expecting their little boy in July. Our youngest and only daughter, Cameron, is also a Veterinarian working at a big practice in Fairfax. Her husband, Scott, is an attorney working for the District Attorney in Fairfax.
Walt still running his company, Safe Harbour Realty,Inc. and I have transferred my real estate license to him - at long last!
My non-profit, Bellissima! has become quite successful with growing, enthusiastic audiences and lots of requests for performances. This is a non-profit, auditioned choral group (maximum thirty singers) which presents music written for women's voices. It is amazing how much music there is out there which is rarely if ever heard due to the lack
of a quality group able to perform it. The singers are from Hampton Roads' cities - Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Chesapeake, Suffolk, and Hampton. Age range of the singers is from 19 to 76! The sound of this group is quite wonderful and I am glad to say we have caused some excitement in the Arts scene here and beyond. We search for composers too, one of which has been Gwenyth Walker, a Brown graduate. I am one of the singers and the Executive Director. All of which certainly has kept things interesting to put it mildly. We are making out second CD this coming weekend. All to say, there is never a dull moment around here! May 2006

She was a certified public accountant and retired from Lacher McDonald Co., Seminole. She was a member of the Calvary Episcopal Church and the handbell choir. She enjoyed swimming, gardening and boating and she was an avid reader. Survivors include her husband of 46 years, Ned Peter Baugh; a son, Ned Thomas Baugh, Bloomington, Ind.; two daughters, Hope Laura Baugh, Carmel, and Bethany Jean Baugh, Kentfield, CA.; and a brother, Grant McLaren, Lake St. Louis, MO. Sally (Faulstich) Clifford writes: Caroline (Aldrich) Langen and I went to FL for the funeral, as Sandra and Ned's daughters are our God daughters. Ned was Class of 1956. Sandra lived very near my daughter and they worked together briefly before Sandra retired so I had a chance to reconnect with the family, for which I am most grateful. Her oldest daughter, Hope, gave a wonderful eulogy citing Sandra's creativity, musical talent, thoughtfulness, intellectual curiosity, and ability to forgive. She was a wonderful human being and will be greatly missed by anyone who was fortunate enough to have been her friend. May 2006
