1 James E. "Jym" Clendenin (BEE '62)

After graduating in ‘62 with a B.E.E, I spent the next 4 years in the Navy on destroyers in the Atlantic and the Med. Judy (nurse, RN ’63 Virginia)

and I married in Dec ’62. Beginning about my 3rd year at Virginia I had the ambition of becoming a physicist, but wasn’t sure the best way to do this, so on exit from the Navy I followed another of my interests and (influenced by Russ Davis) went to Union Theological Seminary to get an M.A. in Religion (joint degree with Columbia), taking a few graduate courses in physics at Columbia simultaneously. I really liked being a student in NYC and Judy was tolerating it, so it was natural to continue in a physics Ph.D program at Columbia. As I was finishing the Ph.D in ‘75, I was recruited by Vernon Hughes of Yale to work with him and others on a major high-energy physics experiment at the Linear Accelerator Center at Stanford (SLAC). This was an exciting adventure beyond the Hudson, but a lot of work. So after 3 years, under the mandate of Judy that we stay in California, I joined the SLAC staff, setting my professional life’s direction. High-energy physics using big accelerators offers many challenges and opportunities. My research evolved toward the fine points of understanding how to align the spin vector of ensembles of electrons that could be used to produce polarized electron beams. In the course of this work I had close collaborations with groups in Russia and Japan and also had numerous opportunities to travel to professional meetings in the U.S. and abroad and even to work abroad (1-year at CERN, the European lab in Geneva, and several 2-week stints in Russia and China). I retired on April 1, 2008, seamlessly ramping up my non-professional activities, including running (a regular runner since 1979), swimming (taken up when my knees began to bother me), biking (which cured my knee problems), and backpacking (the Sierra Nevada Mountains offer incredible opportunities). About 4 years ago I joined an all-male local book club, started a men-who-cook group (John Allsbrook set me in this direction), and more recently became a volunteer reporter for a blog, InMenlo.com, that concentrates on my little town, Menlo Park. You get the idea. Judy and I have had and continue to have a great life. After getting to CA she earned a BS in nursing followed by an MPA in health care. She “retired” as a public health nurse (case manager) for our county in ’06, but still does some part-time work, including, interestingly, traveling in the fall to several eastern states conducting flu clinics for Apple employees. Our daughter, who now lives just north of SF, was born in ‘69 while we were in NYC. As the economy was tanking in ’08 we began an extensive remodel of our house, managing to significantly deplete what retirement funds happened to survive the market collapse. Such is life! I’m looking forward to seeing all you classmates and brothers in the spring.

2 James E. "Jim" Peebles (BA Mathematics '61)

After graduating in June, 1961, I was employed by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Silver Spring, MD. At APL, I received “on-the-job” training as a computer programmer after having been exposed to programming via a summer job in 1960 at the U. S. Naval Engineering Experiment Station in Annapolis, MD. There were no computer science courses when I was at UVA. With a major in Math, this seemed to be a good direction since companies were recruiting Math majors for computer work. I remained at APL until 1965 and then worked for Computer Sciences Corporation and other computer consulting companies until 1969. In 1969, I was recruited to be the Director of Data Processing at the University of Arizona (UA) Health Sciences Center in Tucson, AZ. At that time, UA was building a new medical school and university hospital and this was an opportunity to start and support an academic medical center from scratch. There was no building, no systems, no staff, etc. This was where my career really started. The hospital opened in 1971 with computer systems functioning and real patients. My role there as a Department Head provided me faculty status and was a great experience. In today’s world, this would be the Chief Information Officer which is now a critical position in every medical center. Life was simpler then. In 1980, I left UA and was co-founder of Sunquest Information Systems, a private company which developed and provided laboratory information systems nationwide. I was the CEO, President and chief system designer of the original product. During a sales trip to St. Mary’s Hospital in Knoxville, TN, I discovered Brother Doug Mooreside as a Pathologist there and we shared several visits during my trips. I sold my interest in Sunquest in 1986 and basically “retired” for a year. Sunquest continues to be very successful and is the largest laboratory system vendor today. In 1987, I co-founded MIDS, Inc., a private company which developed healthcare systems to support patient care management, quality outcomes, utilization management, all of which were becoming critical responsibilities of healthcare organizations. Again, I served as CEO, President and chief system designer as my partner and I developed a totally new product for hospitals. Building on connections and successes from the Sunquest days, our product was widely accepted and is now used nationwide in over 1200 hospitals. In 1998, we merged with another healthcare company which was then acquired by ACS, Inc., a fortune 500 company. As a result, our small private world became part of a large public world. In 2001, I stepped down as CEO of this business unit and remained as a consultant until 2004 when I fully retired.

However, in 2004 I became a Board Member of QuadraMed Corp., a public healthcare information system vendor headquartered in Reston, VA. This allowed me to stay involved in information system technology without being confined time wise. I remained on the Board until early 2010 when QuadraMed was sold to a provide equity firm. As my final real employment, I served as interim CEO of QuadraMed from March, 2009 until August, 2009 while a new CEO was being recruited. This was a great experience, but, for me, the private world is much more enjoyable than the public company world.

My wife, Sandy, and I were married in Oct., 1961 in Alexandria, VA with Brother Russ Davis performing his first wedding and brothers John

Beside Pi Kappa Phi, there were several transforming experiences during my UVA days. I met and fell in love with Iva Lee Crocker who has been my life partner, the mother of my two children, Brandon and Haden, and the grandmother (Nana) of our three grandchildren, Trent, Elle, and Lilah. Iva Lee retired from a career as a spinal cord injury nurse and nurse manager in the Veterans Administration system (Bronx NY and

Richmond VA). We enjoy life together from our Earlysville home near Charlottesville with year-round views of the mountains. Brandon., our daughter, is the nutritional supplements and beauty products manager for Rebecca’s Natural Foods in the Barracks Roads Shopping Center. Be sure and stop in to see her while in town. We call her “Dr. Brandon” because of her gifts for knowing just the right thing to take for whatever ails you. She is the single mother of our youngest grandaughter, Lilah. Haden, our son, married Danielle Raphael, lives in West Chester, PA with Trent and Elle, our older grands! Haden works for a national computer consulting firm and has had interesting contracts with Barnes & Noble, Marvel Comics, and GEICO, to name a few. Another transforming “moment” at UVA was a course in Existential Philosophy with Harry Pemberton (who later defected to W&L). Reading Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Hesse, and Tillich changed my life – and then Tillich came to UVA to speak – and as a result I decided to apply to Union Theological Seminary in New York rather than to a Baptist seminary. Union awakened my interest in world religions and multifaith dialogue as well as my passion for the interconnection of psyche and soul, of psychology and religion. All of my career since Union has, in one form or another, been an expression of the love I have of applying depth psychology and spirituality in a multifaith, multicultural context in the relief of human suffering. I have taught depth psychology and religion both in academic settings (Union Theological Seminary NYC and University of Virginia) as well as in clinical settings. In order to do this I received a PhD in Psychiatry and Religion at Union Theological Seminary and became certified as a teacher of Clinical Pastoral Education. I served as the Executive Director of the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education. Currently I am the founding director of the School of Clinical Pastoral Education at Sentara Hospitals in Norfolk, Virginia. [See www.sentara.com/cpe]. I’ve had one book published and a number of articles.

7 Leroy Hamlett (BS Commerce '60)

After getting my undergraduate degree from the School of Commerce in 1960 and my law degree in 1963, I entered the US Army in 1964 as a JAG officer and served until 1966; on June 20, 1964 I married Patricia Bromm (Nursing, Uva 1964) at St Pauls Lutheran Church in Charleston WVa. After service we returned to Charlottesville Va. where I practiced for about two and a half years at Robert M Musselman, a joint attorney/cpa firm (I received my Certified Public Accountant certificate during that time); in 1969 I joined a law firm know as Taylor Michie and Callaghan (now known as MichieHamlett PLLP) where I remained until my retirement at the end of 2001; my primary areas of practice were bankruptcy and tax; I continued in the Army Reserves until 1988 when I retired as a Lieutenant Colonel; I have remained active with the local chapter, serving as Chapter Advisor from 1967 to 1995 and have served on the House Corporation for 49 years, at least 40plus years as President; Pat and I have been blessed with two children, Christopher who lives in Bulverde, Texas (with our two grandchildren Mackenzie 9 and Hailey 7) and Stephanie who lives in Richmond, Va; Chris is a member of the local Pikapp chapter and received both his engineering degrees from UVa.

In addition to my law practice, military reserve duties and Pi Kapp activities, I have been active in both St Mark and Peace Lutheran churches as well as serving on Synodical Council (eight years as Vice President) and have served as a delegate to five national gatherings of Lutherans.

I also served as the Republican representative on the local electoral board for over 25 years; for over 25 years on the Child Care Scholarship committee of United Way, and over 20 years on Barrett Day Care Center, a local intercity child care agency.

Pat and I love to travel and have enjoyed many trips to all 50 states as well as trips with a traveling group to almost 20 countries; our favorite was to Botswana, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia, and Zambia in 2005; in February of 2011, I will make my first solo trip (without Pat, who is too risk adverse for this trip) with a church group to the Holy Land.

Looking forward to seeing all of you at our 50th in April 2011.

8 C. Michael "Mike" Lohr (BS Education '60)

I graduated in May of 1960 and married Lois Aylor,a sweatheart of long standing, in August of that year. We took high school teaching jobs for 2 years in Hanover County(VA). Lois’ mother died of cancer during our second year of teaching, so we moved back to Madison County(VA) . Lois taught at the high school there, and I went back to graduate school at UVA for four years. I obtained my master’s in 1963 and finally my doctorate in mathematics education in 1968. I took a job in mathematics education at Virginia Commonwealth University(Richmond, VA) in 1966. I remained in that position for 34 years, retiring in May 2000. We raised a son Greg, and a daughter Karen, both of whom are UVA graduates (electrical engineering and commerce (CPA)). Lois taught another 18 years during this time and retired in 1999. Our jobs, little league coaching, church activities, etc. consumed most of our time. We looked forward to family summer vacations each year. Greg is married, has 3 children, and lives with his family in the Charlottesville area. Karen is married with 2 children, and her family lives in Hanover County near me. Lois was a breast cancer survivor in 1995 but succumbed to brain cancer in 2007. I have no regularly scheduled commitments, but keep busy enjoying family, church, and club activities.

11 Daniel B. Kimball, Jr. (BA Psychology '61)

After Dan graduated from the College of Arts and Sciences (BA Psychology), he attended the School of Medicine at the University of Virginia. He spent 25 years with the Army Medical Department, retiring as Colonel, after serving as Deputy Commander and Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Washington DC from 1982-1985, and Commander of the Landstuhl Army Regional Medical Center in Germany from 1985-1989. He served as Department Director and Internal Medicine Residency Program Director, at the Reading Hospital and Medical Center from 1989 to 2004. He served as the Medical Director for Hospice St. John of the Greater Berks Area as part of the Diakon Lutheran Social Ministries from 2005 to 2010.

He has been active at all levels of organized medicine, including the Berks County Medical Society [President in 1996], PA Medical Society House of Delegates [1993-2010], and the AMA House of Delegates, 2002-2010. He is a specialty trustee for the PA Medical Society representing primary care Internal Medicine and the PA Chapter, American College of Physicians, where is Governor-Elect of the PA Eastern region.

In 1995, he was appointed by Gov. Thomas Ridge to the PA State Board of Medicine, serving as its chairman for 2 ½ years. Dan was appointed to his second term on the Board in December 1999, where he completed nine years of service in May 2004. He has been active with the Federation of State Medical Boards since 1996. He served for six years on the Step 2 Committee of the National Board of Medical Examiners and is currently serving his second term on the Step 3 committee. He was appointed as a member of the Composite Committee for the United States Medical Licensing Examination in May 2005, serving as its chair from June 2009 to May 2010.

13 Richard M. "Dick" Sandstrom (BA '62)

Upon graduating from UVA in June 1962, I took a position with a Reliability Engineering firm in Vienna, Va. as a Controller/Contracts Manager. In May 1963, I married my high school sweetheart, Linnea B. Barnes (Wm&Mary'62), with my long-time friend, Brother Russ Davis performing the services, and Brothers Donald Slesnick and Bruce Bickley assisting as ushers. We have two children (Inga '68 and Rick '70; Russ baptized our son). Most of my career was spent in our family business, C.L.Barnes Furniture Co. as Comptroller, Sec./Treasurer. In our prime years, we had seven retail stores (three corporations). I retired in 2000 after 37 years, selling our interests; the Company dissolved in 2007. My interests include reading, Redskins, BBQ'n, gardening, bird-feeding, walking our 13 year old female sheltie, "Pebbles", (which we adopted from a Rescue League), watching the various wildlife around our 7 acres in Clifton. In the summer, we migrate to the "Island" - Delaware's Quiet Resort - Fenwick Island, DE. Reading other bios, I, too, am a cancer survivor; life is good! A move is expected in the near future to the Richmond, Va. area to be near our first (and only) grandchild, Makenna Maye Lewis, born in Nov. '09. She is a special blessing to our family; we're looking forward to "spoiling" her for many years to come. I must say, in my Fraternity Life, I am noted as the first Brother to be taken by Pledges of our new Fraternity "for a ride". Yes, Bro Russ left the door unlocked to enable Pledges entry. A Fred Riggins' Ford drove us to "Observatory Hill" ... a long, dark walk back; but, alas ... the Ford soon returned to pick me up ... saved at last ... no ... we ended up at the University underground heating/plumbing plant extending under and between all the buildings and dorms. Again, it was dark; sounded like Security was coming; sounded like Route 29 was overhead. One Pledge stated "we can't leave Sandstrom here, he might try leaving through a manhole above, into Rt. 29". Good thought; we returned home. Good Guys!

17 Daniel V Stapleton, Jr.(BEE '62)

Following graduation and Navy commissioning, I reported to Naval Submarine School, Groton, CT for six months and then on to the USS Carp (SS-338), Norfolk, VA. Over time it turned out that the 'romance' of being a submariner wasn't up to the romance with my future wife, Kitty (MWC '64). That, and being unable to visualize a career of going to sea for lengthy deployments, led me to request a change of assignments and I pursued a cryptology career in the Navy. Kitty and I were married in Tappahannock in August 1964.

The Navy led Kitty and I to various assignments, first in Hawaii, then on an unexpected tour for me aboard the aircraft carrier USS Hancock (Alameda, CA), and to Charleston, SC, always returning to the Washington, DC area in between these assignments. I also attended the US Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA and received a MSEE degree in 1973, partly as 'payback' for the tour on the Hancock. After retiring in 1982, I leaned on my Navy experience and was employed by Sperry Corp (later Unisys) for six years. The Navy project I helped manage at Sperry took me again on a brief deployment to the Mediterranean (as a civilian this time) on a destroyer for testing and crew training. I never made it to the Med, as we were detached from our Task Group to help some students evacuate from Grenada - and spent two weeks there, first at 'battle stations' for naval gunfire support, then monitoring communications of the Cuban contingent on the island (I became a "Grenadian linguist"). After six years at Sperry, I was overcome by my 'mid-life' crisis. I had earned a pilot license while in Hawaii and, during my last year in the Navy, earned a commercial license and flight instructorcertificates. At the tender age of 47, I found I just "had" to pursue a new career in aviation. Jumping "into the middle of the pool," I bought a failing flight school and rental business at Washington Dulles Airport. The business added an air charter operation and expanded first to an additional site at Winchester, VA and then Leesburg, VA. My dream was to build a large international flight school and primarily train foreign students! After securing the various approvals from the FAA as a certificated flight school, the Veterans Administration for student loans/aid and Immigration/INS for student visas, my first challenges included an irritating student from Saudi Arabia and an inept, language-challenged twenty-something from Yemen. After 10 years of all this incredible fun and excruciating near-miss encounters with financial disaster, I began yearning for a return to the simple life of an ordinary engineer (read: 'employee').

Now being 10-15 years removed from experience with the Navy and defense matters, I realized I had acquired some aviation credentials to help me re-enter the ranks of an employee. I worked for a couple of FAA support contractors before being hired by The MITRE Corp., a not-for-profit and Federally Funded Research and Development organization. Of the past ten years, five were devoted to monthly trips to Alaska, helping introduce a new surveillance tool for aircraft that broadcasts position information each second and then receive and process that information from other aircraft. Kitty was able to join me in Alaska on numerous occasions for some incredible tours and memories for a lifetime. We have two sons who matured during my aviation years. The older one worked for me while I had the aviation business and went on to become an airline pilot for Frontier, based in Denver. The younger one channeled his aviation interests into aerospace engineering and works for Boeing. Together, they provided us with four grandchildren. Kitty earned her Master's in Education in 2000. Our most enjoyable adventures together include hosting over a dozen students ("exchange" students) and others from various acquaintances - visiting them and keeping up over the years. Our other chief adventure has been participating/leading various church 'mission trips,' to Russia, Santiago Chile for four years and Lithuania for 5 years. We now live on Bull Run Mountain in Haymarket, VA in our retirement "log

home." I'm mostly retired from MITRE.

19 Howard Townsend

I left UVa in 1961 and joined the Air Force in March of 1962, receiving my ‘brown bars’ and navigator wings that December via the Air Force’s Aviation Cadet program. From there I chose the B-52 heavy bomber and was on the first deployment of 52s (Feb ’65) to the Southeast Asia theater of operations. I was reassigned to the Air Defense Command that May where I flew (back seat) T-33 and VC-54 aircraft. The ‘54s’ mission was in support of operations across the DEW (Distant Early Warning) line. Winter navigation in aircraft from the Berlin Airlift era proved to be quite a challenge!

I graduated from Air Force pilot training in June of ’67 and was assigned to a B-52 wing in northern California as a copilot. In November of ‘69 I had my first 3-month deployment to Guam, Okinawa and Thailand as a copilot, then a year later I returned for another 3-month tour as a pilot/aircraft commander. I flew an overall total of 131 combat missions in Southeast Asia.

After completing my second tour I served as a B-52 instructor pilot for three and a half years. I also received special training as a nuclear weapons and survival officer, closing out a 21-year career in special operations.

During my years of service and retirement I obtained a BA in History and an MBA in Aviation.

Following my retirement I owned and operated an art gallery for a short time. Then I went to work for a large county fire department, specializing in emergency operations.

After eleven years I went to work for a large credit union and took them through Y2K, building the structure for the ‘transition,’ plus upgrading their business continuity operations.

After receiving a BSEE in 1962, Martha and I got married on June 23. PiKapps made up most of the male part of the wedding party. After our honeymoon at Big Meadows, Martha and I stayed at UVA so I could work on graduate engineering degrees. The MS came in '64 and DSc. In 1966.

Career:

I then made my first major move, heading to Florida, to work as an Assistant professor of electrical engineering at Florida Institute of Technology. After a few years I moved to industry working with a small company in pattern recognition television. In 1973 we moved to the Miami area where I was engineering manager at Wackenhut electronics. The parent company had the security contract for the southern half of the Alaska pipeline, so I made several interesting trips from Miami to Alaska. What a contrast!.

The second major move was to Westminster, a small town in north central Mass. I went to work for Simplex Time Recorder as the Systems Product Line Planner. After 5 years, I went to Andover controls as Marketing Manager. Wanting to get back more directly into technology, I moved to Analogic as Manager of Instrumentation Engineering. After a stint at Starrett Tools as Manager or the Advanced Technology Division, I ended up my career as hardware engineering Manager for Varian Semiconductor, retiring in January of 2008.

Family,

Martha and I have two daughters, Mary born in 1969 and Linda, born in 1972. Mary went into Medical school after

college, letting the army put her through her last 3 years. She has stayed with the army ever since and is now a Lt. Colonel and Chief Surgeon of ;the 4th infantry division stationed in Iraq. She met her husband while in Residency in Tacoma, Washington and now has two sons. Their home is in Colorado Springs. Linda chose Uva after high school. While there she joined ROTC, got on the pistol team and was Collegiate national champion in 1992 and 1993. As a result she was offered and accepted a position as Athlete in Residence at the US Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. After leaving there the finished her EE degree and the University Of Colorado, received her MSEE, and has been working in the aerospace field ever since. Linda met her husband at the Olympic Training Center and now has one son. They live in Monument, Colorado. Hobbies and interests: Martha and I live in a house built in 1809 on the Common in Westminster, we have 5 acres of land, most of which is taken up with Martha's three Arabian horses. I started sailing in Florida, and currently have a 32 foot sloop which we keep in Providence, RI on Narrangansett Bay.

Served as member of Vestry at Good Shepherd Church, also on the Minister Search Committee (a most rewarding and emotional experience), and as Every Member Canvass chair (set giving records!). Fundraising chair for high school booster club, setting giving records again. Coached all three kids’ traveling teams (Cathron’s team was probably #1 in nation, if not world, for 2-3 years!); and served in way-too-many soccer management positions…(I got into soccer to be closer to the kids, ended up spending 40+ hours a week doing soccer things and seeing less of family, but it was an exciting and usually enjoyable time)…and I now have over thirty-four ladies that I consider “extended daughters.”

Cathron and I are looking forward to more traveling, and winter and summer vacations with our extended family.

22 Randolph E. "Randy" Boswell (BA Foreign Affairs '63)

Date and Place of Birth: 1941 in Danville, VA

Residence: Danville, VA

Family: Wife: Ellen; Daughters: Whitney Greenway in Danville and Lindsey Carroll in High Point, NC; Granddaughters: Slade Greenway in Danville and Chase Carroll in High Point.

After graduating from the University of Virginia in 1963 with a B.A. in Foreign Affairs, I served as an officer in the U.S. Army for a little over two years. In July 1963, I reported to Fort Benning, Georgia to attend the Infantry Officer Basic Course. Upon graduating from that course in early January 1964, I was sent to Baltimore, Maryland to attend the U.S. Army’s Counterintelligence course. When that course ended I returned to Fort Benning circa May 1964 where I was assigned to the Counterintelligence Section of the 2nd Military Intelligence Detachment of the 2nd Infantry Division. The Counterintelligence Section, which consisted of eight officers and eight enlisted men, was responsible for conducting background investigations on military personnel requiring security clearances and for carrying out security inspections of units of the 2nd Division to ensure that classified material was being appropriately protected. Approximately six months after my assignment to the section, I became chief of the section. I remained in that position until I was discharged from active duty in September 1965.

In January 1966, I began a 32 year career as a Foreign Service officer with the U.S. State Department. During those 32 years, I served as a Political Officer in U.S. embassies in Bonn, Vienna, Copenhagen, Lima, Quito, and La Paz. I also served in U.S. consulates in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. My job during these foreign assignments was to report to Washington on political developments in those countries so that U.S. policy makers would have the information they needed to formulate and execute our country’s foreign policy.

Following my retirement from the Foreign Service in 1998, my wife, Ellen, and I moved into our present home on Hawthorne Drive. In mid-1999 I began working as an independent contractor traveling to countries in Latin America to work on kidnap and ransom cases on behalf of the Crisis Management Group of Kroll Associates. Kroll, which at that time was the world’s largest security firm, had a special office in Vienna, Virginia - the Crisis Management Group - that provided support to senior business executives and other wealthy individuals who had purchased kidnap insurance from the insurance giant AIG. The insurance package from AIG included the guarantee that the Crisis Management Group, upon being notified that a policy holder had been kidnapped, would immediately send one of its kidnap specialists to the country where the kidnapping had taken place to advise the company/family involved on how best to deal with the kidnappers.

Shortly before the 9/11 terrorist attacks, I concluded my arrangement with Kroll in order to begin working as a part time consultant for the State Department and the Department of Defense. This work has required me to spend considerable time at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and to travel to various U.S. and foreign facilities in Latin America and Europe.

23 John T. Carter (BA Physics '63)

I think some people have an idea where their life is going – I did not have a clue what I would do after achieving a goal of a Ph.D. in physics (Rice, 1968). I came to D.C. to work in military operations research and had an opportunity to go to the Rand Corporation a few years later. Thanks to that flexible environment, I was able to transition to work on technology applications and program evaluation and then spent three years helping State Alcoholism Authorities develop program monitoring and evaluation systems. Then came a few years in consulting work (D.C. “Beltway Bandits”) and five years in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia with U.S. Treasury developing technology projects – primarily in health care and education. I decided international health looked like an interesting field, so I came to Atlanta in 1988 (at the encouragement of CDC and Emory contacts from K.S.A.). I had some consulting work and enrolled in a Masters in Public Health program at Emory (M.P.H., 1991). I had decided that epidemiology was more interesting than health management, and the Epidemiology Department hired me to serve as a liaison with the Georgia Division of Public Health. So, 18 years later, that’s where I am. I get to help GA public and private agencies use data, and provide practical experience for M.P.H. and Ph.D. students. People continue to pay me to assist with data/analytical problems, so I keep working. I also teach the occasional class in Applied Maternal and Child Health Epidemiology.

Some of you (Pi Kap Brothers) probably recall Frances – she was a Rose Queen. We had and reared two sons, and then amicably went our separate ways. One son just provided an heir, so I have a local six month old grandson. My other son – a family practice M.D. – is within two hours (Chattanooga), so we all get together often. Short baby-sitting opportunities are fine! I have shared my life for the past 19 years with another epidemiologist. She has two daughters, and they have provided us with four more grandchildren, ages 3 to 8. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have four healthy, self-sufficient, children and five healthy grandchildren. Our life is pretty much about family, work, and neighbors. Our home is run by a rescued 11-pound Italian greyhound, and she has provided a contact with a set of dog-owning neighbors. I try to exercise enough to enjoy good food and wine with family and friends. Both sons and I enjoy cooking, so we share a kitchen when we are together.

U. VA. seems a long time ago, but I still remember the fun of our association – Russ, Leroy, Randy and I sharing the two first floor bedrooms the first year at 510 Rugby. I think I was treasurer and house manager that year, and those responsibilities contributed to my education. After two years in the house, I took the opportunity to live on the Lawn. Pleasant remembrances from that year were late trips to the Corner with Dan (Kimball) when he left work at the Faculty Club. The night pledges broke into our room and tied Randy and I to a Rotunda column was also memorable.

24 John E. "Chip" Baber, III (BME '63)

I graduated in June 1963 (took me five years for E-School). Ann and I got married that August. Several guys from the house were in our wedding. Worked for Newport News Ship Building And Dry Dock until fall 1964 when I returned to the University for Graduate Business School. Took MBA in June 1966 and joined what was then the Chemicals Division of Eastman Kodak in Kingsport, TN. Took early retirement at the end of 1993 to join faculty of UNC Charlotte where I taught Finance for ten years. Moved to Lake Wylie, SC in July 2004.

Served several years as an Area Governor for Pi Kapp. Area Governor of the year for 1973-74. Served on several community boards, Chaired Salvation Army Advisory Board. Elder in First Presbyterian Church, Served on Holston Presbytery Committee on Ministry. Commissioned as Lay Pastor in 1990. Served on Charlotte Presbytery Committee on Ministry, Moderator 2004-2005. Moderator of Charlotte Presbytery 2008.

Ann and I have one daughter who is married and lives in Colombia. We have two grandsons, age 12 and 7.

27 Stephen S. "Steve" Applegate (BA '64)

After leaving Virginia in June 64, I spent 5 years in the Navy on sea duty on three ships. My obligation was for 4 years, but I was extended an additional year and promoted on the same day in 1968. I was Navigator on the tanker Chikaskia operating in the Mediterranean out of Norfolk (my favorite job) and First Lieutenant on another tanker, Guadalupe, operating off Vietnam and home ported in Long Beach. This was my most physically challenging job, as I was in charge of all deck replenishment operations and was often on duty refueling ships alongside for 20 hours at a time. I was separated from active duty in June of 69 in Long Beach.

I married Nancy Royall while in the Navy, and we had three girls, Catherine, Lynn, and Lucy by 1973. I settled in Cincinnati, OH working for Procter and Gamble Co. in various positions in purchasing and packaging development. Cathy is moderately handicapped, but she has her own apartment in Cincinnati and works a volunteer job in a thrift store and animal shelter. Lynn is an HR manager at Children’s Hospital in Cincinnati and the mother of my only grandchild, Evan, age 6. Lucy has lived in Bellingham, WA for several years and works at Skagit River Fish Enhancement Group, a nonprofit organization that works to protect and promote salmon habitats in the region.

As time wore on, I got divorced, met my life partner Susan Sturgill, and retired from P&G after 32 years. Susan and I live on the west side of Cincinnati, where we garden, and do home remodeling projects and volunteer work. I am active in Kiwanis and tutor GED students, mostly in math. Susan and I have travelled to Mexico, Barbados, Italy, and Alaska. We went on several short term mission trips to Nicaragua with our church and Fabretto Children’s Foundation. On one, I lived with a family in Nicaragua for a month while I learned some Spanish in the mornings and worked at the Fabretto school in the afternoons. It was a great experience.

For recreation I am interested in collector cars (currently have a 54 Buick) and like to bike and jog. I ran the Boston marathon three times but now do only short and slow jogs since I now have a-fib and a pacemaker. I do still go on long (but slow) bike rides, including the Habitat 500 every July in Minnesota.

I’m looking forward to reconnecting with all of my long-lost Pi Kapp brethren in Charlottesville in April.

28 R. Bruce Bickley, Jr. (BA English '64)

I was born in New Rochelle, New York, but raised in Knoxville, Tennessee, and Anchorage, Kentucky (that other Anchorage, just east of Louisville). I was accepted by Purdue under early admission but glad I waited and chose U.Va., where my dad had earned his Commerce degree in 1937, in fact. My freshman hall advisor and local WUVA-Radio manager “rushed me” to be both a radio announcer (which I did for a year, fully enjoying the experience) and a Pi Kappa Alpha pledge (which I did not do, thank goodness). The guys at what was then Alpha Mu were welcoming and authentic. I pledged, moved into 510 Rugby Road, and changed my major over the next two years from aeronautical engineering to math, and then to English. (How many of us made similar shifts?) I discovered that I loved literary research and analysis.

Special memories of my years at Virginia: hanging out with the brothers; playing flag football and bowling for the chapter in the IM league; taking pride in the House’s increasing visibility and respect on campus over those early years (top pledge class GPA and all-fraternity GPA; some pretty competitive sports teams; enjoyable and mostly . . . safe . . . parties; cultivating friendships (for example, Bill Ewald, Larry McKnight, Herb Millkey, who died far too young, and I went on to rent an apartment our senior year—a kind of PKP Annex); road trips to the women’s colleges in Russ Davis’s gray 3.4 litre Jaguar sedan; running in disbelief from our apartment to the House when I heard about JFK’s assassination; serving as chapter treasurer my sophomore year and as archon junior year—and realizing that administration could be challenging. I took some heat as “Rules Bickley”(!), and I remember a blackballing episode that made me rethink that whole pledge-selection system. Those Virginia years prepared me in unexpected ways for what’s now been a 46-year career as a scholar-teacher and administrator. My favorite courses at Virginia: the four Liberal Arts Seminars—great books and great ideas, two faculty members, twelve students, a 300-word response paper a week. So mind-stretching.

I earned my MA and PhD at Duke in American literature and sent out 100 individually typed job- application letters (remember the IBM Selectric?); I took the best offer, from Florida State here in the capital city. I married Duke BA and University of Pennsylvania MA graduate Karen Luce in 1966 at the Duke Chapel (read Cathedral), and brother Larry Ellis was our minister—his very first marriage ceremony after his ordination from Southern Baptist Seminary! Staring up at the massive 210-foot tower, Larry laughed and said, “Guess it’s all downhill from here!” Karen and I have been working at FSU since 1969. She has won national continuing education awards and directs our entire university online learning center (1100 courses and programs a semester). Highlights of my teaching career: winning a University Teaching Award; directing the University Honors Program; serving as Associate Dean and Interim Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences; publishing a book on Herman Melville’s short fiction and several books on the southern journalist, fiction-writer, and folklorist Joel Chandler Harris, who helped preserve and popularize the African-American Brer Rabbit trickster stories. (Google tar baby or briar patch.) Karen and I adopted two children and then had two. All are married. Our daughter lives in Bellingham, Washington; our other three children live here in Tallahassee; we have three grandkids. We like the rolling hills, rich green meadows, cultural and educational offerings (two universities and a good community college), book clubs, two NCAA football championships, and family-oriented outdoor recreational programs that Tallahassee offers. Karen and I have traveled to Bermuda, Hawaii, Europe, and Alaska and will do more adventuring after she fully retires in October 2010. I plan to keep teaching part time for a few more years. One of my hobbies, for some 22 years now, is singing bass in a barbershop quartet and chorus—what a blast. As I said elsewhere on the Anniversary website, it’s been a good life!

29 Walter Brinkman (BA '64)

After I graduated I took a job with a bank in Memphis. I got married that summer to Jean Ulmer whom I dated at Virginia. She completed her final year at Memphis State University. I met with some local alumni from Ole Miss who were trying to start a colony at Memphis State and I became the colony’s first chapter advisor. I never saw the colony charted because I was drafted the next winter.

I spent four years as a meteorologist in the USAF. My last assignment was at Utapao, Thailand briefing B-52 crews on their bombing runs in Vietnam. While in the service we had two sons. One is currently a Lt. Col. In the Air Force stationed in Tampa and the other is the quality control director of a pharmaceutical company living in St. Petersburg. Jean and I have three grandsons.

When I got out of the military I went to work for Prudential Insurance in Jacksonville, Florida where we have lived ever since. I became active in

After graduating with a BS in Accounting and receiving a Navy Commission, I spent five years on active duty, four by contract and one at the pleasure of the Navy. This included two years on a destroyer based in Mayport, FL; two years as an Admiral’s Aide based in Charleston, SC; and a final year in Viet Nam as a LST Squadron Chief Staff Officer and Commanding Officer of an LST. During this time I married my childhood friend (we were in first grade together in Jacksonville) Mary Jane Harrell, whom some of you have met. After returning home from the year in Viet Nam, I entered the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania where I obtained an MBA in Finance. My work career spanned 29 years with Xerox Corporation in Rochester, NY; Stamford, CT; Dallas, TX; and Sunnyvale, CA. I often joke that I could not hold a job and had to leave town after each assignment. Mary Jane kept count of our moves (14) but I refuse to dwell on the Navy and Xerox travel plans. During this time I held Financial, Financial Management and Controllership positions in various operating divisions of Xerox. After retiring from Xerox I have worked part time for a family business in Jacksonville, handling the finances for a number of organizations within the company, Coastal Construction Products. Mary Jane and I have three daughters. The youngest is an OB/GYN in private practice in Rochester, our middle daughter is an Economics professor at Wellesley College in Boston, and our oldest is currently a stay-at-home mom in San Ramon, CA. Each of our daughters has two children. Over the years we have been very active in our church, Girl Scouts, the Episcopal Cottage at Chautauqua and various other community groups and I still enjoy snow skiing and piloting small planes. We now split our time between our home in Fairport, NY; visiting our children and grandchildren; and Jacksonville, FL. We look forward to seeing everyone in April!

34 Larry H. Ellis (BA '64)

Larry Hoyt Ellis, a member of the Coastal Carolina Presbytery, is the Senior Pastor of The Village Chapel, Pinehurst, North Carolina. He is a retired Navy Captain, having served his entire career as a Chaplain. Born in Cleveland, TN, he attended the University of Virginia, majoring in English Literature, and received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in 1964. In 1968 Larry received his Master of Divinity Degree from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, KY. In 1983 he received the Doctor of Ministry Degree from Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, DC.

In addition to numerous military decorations, including the Legion of Merit (2 Awards) and Meritorious Service Medal (3 Awards), Larry is the recipient of three awards from the Freedom Foundation at Valley Forge, including the George Washington Medal, the primary national award for excellence in public address. In 1980 his family was honored to receive the Military Family of the Year “In God We Trust” award by the Family Foundation of America. The Military Chaplains Association of the United States of America awarded him the Distinguished Service Award for 1997.

Notable among his military assignments was duty as: The Chaplain, United States Marine Corps, 1991-1995; Senior Protestant Chaplain, U. S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, MD (1982-1985); Command Chaplain, USS John F. Kennedy, CV-67 (1985-1987). Larry also served aboard Destroyer Division 52 in Vietnam. (1968-1970)

Larry and Jan, married 4 April 1965, have four children: Neale, Matthew, Catharine and Charity and are blessed to have seventeen grandchildren.

35 Dudley Lewis (BEE '65)

Jim Peebles, a good friend from home in Brunswick County, Virginia, was probably responsible for me attending the University. He invited me up for a weekend my last year in High School and I attended a party in the first Alpha Mu House. When I pledged Alpha Mu in 1960, my first year at Virginia, the fraternity was located in its second House (I still have the Pledge pin). Unfortunately for me, trying to play baseball and study engineering proved too much for me and I found myself on the wrong Dean’s List. So I was not allowed to be initiated in the Spring of 1961 and had to wait until I was off Probation the next year. I missed being a Charter Member of Pi Kappa Phi at UVA; but I am still glad I played baseball. I graduated in 1965 with a B.E.E. degree from the School of Engineering.

I accepted employment with General Services Administration while I waited to be drafted; but I was fortunate to find a slot with the National Guard Unit in Blackstone, VA, near my home. After my basic training was over, I married Sharon Kaye Allender. And what a good decision that was. We will have been married 45 years this August 6th. We have two children; Deborah and David. Deborah graduated from UVA and is a Methodist Minister. She is Director of the Wesley Foundation at UVA. David lives in Sarasota, Florida, and works for a medical supply company. Both are married; but we have no grandchildren. Sharon and I have lived in the same house in Williamsburg, VA, since 1979; not a record but a pretty good average. I worked with GSA in the Design and Construction group for a short time and then worked for Newport News Shipbuilding from 1967-1978. I worked with Malcolm Pirnie Inc., an Environmental Consulting Engineering firm from 1978-1984. In 1984 I went to work for Allied Corporation, which was later purchased by Siemens Automotive, and retired in 2000. We made fuel injectors; about 36 million a year. Along the way I earned a MBA from William and Mary (1971); a PE license in Virginia; and a Certified Quality Engineer rating from the American Society for Quality Control. I was quite active in politics for many years. I got my ears pinned back in 1977 while running for the House of Delegates; and I was District Chairman for the First Congressional District Republican Party from 1980-1990.

I belong to several Masonic orders: Williamsburg Masonic Lodge No. 6 (Past Master and Treasurer), Scottish Rite, Royal Arch, Commandry, Shriners, and Jesters. I am also a Past District Deputy Grand Master.

I have had a good life. My only real regret is that I played too much at UVA and should have worked harder. I blame all you guys for that. Hey, it has to be somebody’s fault.

38 James F. “Jim” Tune (BA Foreign Affairs ‘64)

There are many fond memories of Beta Upsilon. I pledged and was initiated in 1962 and lived in the house in 1963 (rooming with Chip Baber). I served a stint as Archon and attended the National Chapter in East Lansing Michigan in the summer of 1963 (with Larry McKnight as I recall). In 1963-64, Brothers Don Slesnick, Jack Sullivan and I shared an apartment and remained quite active in the house. For reasons not entirely clear to me now, I was named a Pi Kapp Scholar during that year. Upon graduation, I served for five years in the Navy, the most interesting tour during that time being as Officer-in-charge of PCF 24 out of Cat Lo in Vietnam, where I received a Navy Commendation Medal with Combat V. My Navy career ended in June, 1969, upon completion of my duty at the Bureau of Naval Personnel in Arlington. In August, 1969, I married my first and continuing wife, Katherine Del Mickey, in Tucson, AZ. Kathy was known to my Navy friends as the “Cactus and Sandstorm Queen.” We moved to Stanford, California, where both of us did graduate work—she in linguistics and me in political science. After receiving my MA in political science, I moved to Stanford Law School and received a JD in 1974. I then practiced law in Seattle for nearly 31 years, 25 at Bogle & Gates PLLC (where I was Managing Partner 1986-1993), two at Dorsey & Whitney and nearly five at Stoel Rives PLLC (Seattle Office Managing 2002-2005). My practice was largely corporate, and I spent a great deal of time in the ABA’s Section of Business Law Committee on Corporate Laws.

In October of 2005, I moved to ArtsFund (dba for Corporate Council for the Arts), the united arts fund in Seattle, where I have served as President & CEO since. Some found this surprising, but my involvement in civic and community affairs has been continuous and intense. I have chaired the boards of ArtsFund (before I became the executive), the Group Health Foundation, United Way of King County (the nation’s largest United Way), the Seattle-King County Economic Development Council (now EnterpriseSeattle), the Seattle Repertory Theatre, the Seattle Repertory Theatre Foundation and Classical KING FM 98.1. And I have served on lots of other nonprofit and for profit boards. Currently, I am on the corporate boards of Keynetics Inc. and its subsidiaries (Boise, ID) (see www.clickbank.com) and Puget Sound Bank (Bellevue, WA).

On a more personal note, Kathy and I have two children, a daughter 31 (UVa 2001) and a son 28 (University of Colorado 2004—married). Alas, no grandchildren yet. We enjoy all things art and literature. Since moving to the west coast, it has been difficult to maintain regular contact with our east coast friends, but I have stayed regularly in touch with Herb Long and Larry McKnight and episodically with Don Slesnick and Butch Browning.

44 Don Slesnick (BA '65)

I am sure I am a mystery to many of the charter brothers, given my UVA college class of 1960. Here is the story of a man who had the chance to join the chapter in 1961 but finally made it to Beta Upsilon later in a round-about way. I was a law student when Beta Upsilon Chapter was organized at UVA, and Leroy Hamlett was then and remains one of my close friends. I remember well when the colony was accepted by Pi Kappa Phi, and I was asked to be a charter member—but by then I had “all the answers,” I thought, and declined. After law school graduation and the Army, I started practicing law in Waynesboro and soon became active at my old prep school, Fishburne Military School, as a volunteer trustee. That was 1967. The next year several of our top graduates (two of them from Waynesboro) were active in setting up a local fraternity at VPI and asked my help in incorporating; I at once asked Leroy for help and, even though a Cavalier, I tried to help this group at Tech from a distance.

In 1971, when Delta Alpha Chapter of Pi Kapp was chartered at Tech from this group, I was initiated, and, once that chapter seemed to have a secure local advisor, then, with Durward Owen’s and Leroy’s encouragement, I was given by the Beta Upsilon brothers the privilege of transferring my membership to my real alma mater.

In the years since, I helped the house renovation project and have always been proud of my affiliation and the Beta Upsilon brothers I have come to know.

As for my life: After two years as an Army counterintelligence officer, I returned to Waynesboro where I practiced corporate, estate, and municipal law; served as mayor, school board member, city planner, and for 25 years as city attorney; am board chairman and 44-year-board member of Fishburne Military School. I have written much on local history and a 2003 biography of my late friend and client, Lao Russell of Swannanoa, entitled Remembered for Love, a 500-pager now being translated into German. Swannanoa is the palace on Afton Mountain between Charlottesville and Waynesboro. I am immediate past president and board member of the American Byron Society, past president of our area historical society and bar association, past master of our Masonic Lodge, and have been active in many other organizations. Being a brother in Pi Kappa Phi at UVA has to top the list! .
