Art Rhodes is “experiencing a second career after retiring from 50 years in medicine, having cared for more than 100,000 patients and involved in the teaching of more than 100 residents in my specialty and 1,000 medical students. I have been affiliated with the following medical schools: associate professor at Harvard Medical School; professor at University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine; and professor at Rush Medical College. I also served in the US Army as a major from 1973 to 1975.”

Art is “now concentrating on painting with photography (check out my Instagram site, ArthurRRhodes_Photography) and interacting with my two daughters and six grandchildren; my wife, Leslie C. Newman; and her three sons and five grandchildren.” 

Bob MacLean is “still in touch with Phil Russell and Ralph Jacobs (Phil on the golf course, Ralph annually at the Laguna Seca car races); and John Dunton on an occasional cross-country conversation, reminiscing about jobs and Eclectic brothers past.

“On a personal note: I completed my 50th year as a professional ski instructor; still working as a flight instructor, while flying my airplane to various ski areas; home in Baja California; hiking and fishing in Colorado. I also serve on a flight museum board and am a past officer and active participant of an airplane operators and owners association. Also, I have retired from the management team of a medical device company (in that regard, I have a pacemaker, rebuilt shoulder and knees, but still most of my own aging body parts).

Grateful for friends and family and for wonderful memories of my short time at WesTech. Go Cardinals!”

Bob Barton: “Rehabbed a sailboat and am sailing with my grandson as first mate (how good is that?).” He reports that all is well, “but working on how to downsize and simplify life for this chapter.”  

I have also stayed in touch with Warren Thomas, Gary Witten, and Roy Fazendiero and look forward to seeing them at some Wesleyan football games this fall.

Please write with updates on your life.
