CLASS OF 1978 | 2024 | SUMMER ISSUE

Greetings fellow classmates,

While these notes were compiled on a dreary, rainy day in early April, hopefully as you read them now, they find you enjoying a warm, wonderful summer! Here’s what some of your classmates are up to:

Robert Poss has released his fifth solo CD, entitled Drones, Songs, and Fairy Dust. It is available on all streaming and download services.

Cynthia Aaron checked in and hopes everyone is doing well. After 17 years with the Michigan Poison and Drug Information Center, the last 11 as medical director, she retired from active emergency medicine practice and moved back to New England. She keeps busy with toxicology consulting work for the Michigan Public Health Institute, online consulting with RubiconMD and webPOISONCONTROL. Cynthia left the “interesting but flat” Midwest and now lives in seacoast New Hampshire, where she built her, hopefully, last house. This is where she and her four-legged child, Sophia, plan on growing old together. She wonders if anyone has heard from Alex (Nancy) Rosentzweet?

Kevin Rose is very happy to share that his son, Danny ’19, just recently got engaged to Julia Kim ’20. They both live and work in NYC.

JD Solomon, who has published two historical novels, reports that he has become a storyteller in retirement, giving presentations about historical true crime at assisted living centers and senior centers in New Jersey. “Not surprisingly,” JD says, “audience favorites are stories about New Jersey’s two most notorious murders: the Lindbergh kidnapping and the 1971 John List family killing, which happened in my town of Westfield.”

Last issue we reported that Dana Rashti spent a month in Sicily as part of an Italian language and cultural immersion program. Dana let Ken know that we mistakenly identified “him” as a “her” in our note. We are so sorry, Dana! We hope you are enjoying your retirement.
