Robin Cook and Chuck Work have reconnected, after realizing they both had homes in Naples, Florida. Also, Robin’s 41st medical-thriller novel, Bellevue, was published in December: “It happens to be one of my personal favorites even though it has a supernatural element, which is unusual for me because I generally much prefer stories based on hard science. The novel I’m currently writing features prions—those protein molecules that cause neurodegenerative disorders like mad cow disease.” As for medicine, Robin decided this year to let his final state medical license lapse: “It certainly will be a milestone for me as it has been a rewarding and wonderful career that I would certainly do over again if I were suddenly transported back to being an undergraduate at Wesleyan.”

Bill Everett writes: “At the end of September, Hurricane Helene hit our mountains with ferocious winds and one to two feet of rain. Our own home in Waynesville saw our road turn into a raging torrent, with the water coming about 100 yards from our house. We were without outside communication for a week but retained power and potable water. Many others were not so fortunate, losing their lives, their loved ones, their homes, their livelihoods, and businesses. As a woodworker, I was particularly saddened by the loss of several fine woodworking shops and studios in the area around Asheville, and, of course, the trees, mowed down by wind, rain, and landslides, litter our forests and roadsides. I am no longer surprised to see the faces of friends and neighbors in national news, as we struggle to recover from this catastrophe. The immense outpouring of help from all over the continent has sustained us in many ways, giving us an image of humanity’s best in times when the media shows us the worst. Some of you may have been among our unknown helpers. Thank you!”

Bruce Franklin relates that “after returning from teaching in East Africa in 1965, I lived as a graduate student at Columbia University and continued living on the Upper West Side until 2000. Worked as a professor in New Jersey until 1998 and [then] finally moved to Connecticut. Visited around the world playing tennis until 2006, when I settled into part-time teaching at a nearby university until 2021. I visit great-grandchildren in Hawaii and Washington State and currently divide my time between Connecticut and Tucson, Arizona. I am looking to attend our 65th Reunion.”

After living for 26 years in the Adirondack Park and homesteading on 40 acres with a half‑mile driveway, David Gottesman moved back to Albany after his wife of 60 years died. “I moved with my rescued Chesapeake Bay retriever and thank God I did. I miss the goats, donkeys, chickens, large gardens, and the beauty of the land, transitioning to the world of iPhones. Streaming has been a trip. I do miss my roommate Tom Gregory, a gentleman, a scholar, and just a decent person.”

John Hazlehurst reports, “Not much from periodically sunny Colorado Springs. Can’t believe that we graduated nearly 63 years ago, but grateful to be alive and only mildly demented. Still writing my weekly column in the Pikes Peak Bulletin and still living in our magnificent old wreck of a house. Digging through crates and boxes in the basement, trying unsuccessfully to throw away useless but interesting documents from the past and playing happily with our three puppies (an Aussidoodle, a Bernedoodle, and a Chesapeake). We’re publishing our visitor mag, Colorado Fun for the 10th consecutive year and hoping to stay healthy and active this year.”

Bob Hunter reports in the aftermath of President Jimmy Carter’s death: “As classmates may know, I had the honor of working for him on his NSC staff (Europe and the Middle East) for all four years of his term, less two hours and 20 minutes! I was fortunate to have had a final personal visit with him in September 2020 (see attached photo) and went to his lying in state at the Capitol and then to his funeral at the National Cathedral. For those who did not see the service on TV, I recommend getting the C-SPAN recording. With all that Jimmy Carter was and did for so many, we shall not again see the likes of him, at least not in our lifetime.” Bob’s historical tribute is at https://responsiblestatecraft.org/carter-middle-east/.

Bruce Menke reflects: “As I near my 85th birthday, I am reminded of the many ways in which my four years at Wesleyan shaped my subsequent life. I was a political science major. Luigi Einaudi and Nelson Polsby were new faculty members, and I enthusiastically took whatever courses they offered. I also studied German and Spanish, and my newly discovered interest in foreign languages led me to take an intensive summer course in Russian at Northwestern University. With the support of my German language professors, I spent the spring semester of 1961 at the Freie Universität in Berlin, becoming fluent in that language. During my senior year, when I took Luigi Einaudi’s course on South American politics, he encouraged me to apply for a Fulbright Scholarship to study for a year in Argentina. To my surprise I was successful and spent a year at the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba and became fluent in Spanish. That fluency led me to study French, Italian, Portuguese, and Catalan, while my German led to Dutch, Afrikaans, and the Scandinavian languages. With this background I earned law degrees from Harvard and Southern Methodist University, before embarking on decades of work as a corporate lawyer focusing on business activities in Central and South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Pakistan. My professors at Wesleyan provided not just excellent academic training, but also the personal encouragement and support to pursue opportunities which I would not otherwise have even considered. Thank you, Wesleyan!”

Charlie Murkofsky’s grandson, Nolan Rhodes, “has committed to play baseball for Wesleyan and will begin his freshman year in September. He’s a third-generation Cardinal. His mother, Erica ’90, was [also a graduate]. I continue to practice psychiatry nearly full time and also have the joyful experience of visiting with five additional grandchildren, two in Honolulu, two in Austin, and one more, like Nolan, in Westchester County. Health for me and Susan, my wife of 50 years, is gratefully quite good. That said, I expect challenging issues as time does its thing. My best regards to you all.”

Steve Trott now has two granddaughters at Wesleyan. “Both of their mothers (my daughters) graduated in the 1980s. To go with my father, who graduated in 1937, that makes it a family affair. One granddaughter plans to join Psi U. Not quite the same place, is it? They even win football games!”

Paul Dickson reported the loss of one of our classmates, Bob “Gio” Palmeri, last November. Paul writes: “Bob had retired to a family home at Yarmouth Port on Cape Cod after a long and distinguished career as a U.S. foreign service officer. He had served in a far-flung assortment of overseas posts, including Nigeria, Congo, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Benin, Senegal, France, and Côte d’Ivoire. ‘His work,’ to quote directly from the obituary written by his family, ‘centered on fostering strong diplomatic relationships between the United States and the countries in which he served. He championed American literature abroad, advanced global literacy initiatives, organized visits of American artists and musicians who would share their talents in Africa. Through his efforts, education became a tool for unity, as he opened doors for students, both American and foreign, to pursue knowledge via study exchange programs, striving to lessen inequality and promote cross-cultural exchange.’ Bob will be especially missed by fellow members of the Wesleyan Alpha Delta Phi roundtable, which has been meeting regularly on Zoom since the early days of COVID.”

Peter Funk wrote with the sad news that Bill Harris passed away in January. Peter writes: “Bill broke his back in a fall several years ago and had concerns with mobility and health thereafter. He was in the hospital in NYC when he died. As you may remember, Bill, Brad Beechen, and I went to work together in Chicago following our graduation in 1961. All three of us and our families have remained in fairly close contact ever since. Robie, Bill’s wife, died in January last year. Ben ’92 and David ’94, their sons, are both graduates of Wesleyan. Bill, as you know, spent many years on the board at Wesleyan and was a significant supporter in the development of the University.”

“Like so many others in our class,” writes John Alvord, I turned 85 this year and feel pretty good physically. Wishing all my classmates a happy, prosperous, and wonderful 2025.”

Robert Hausman sends his greetings to all, suggesting that the new year is a good time to count one’s blessings. Bob claims: “I am grateful for seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. I am also grateful for my Wesleyan classmates with whom I stay in touch: Glenn Hawkes, Emil Frankel,and Bob Wielde. Finally, I wish you all a very happy and prosperous New Year.”

With a bit of light humor, John Rogers mumbles his closing words:

“Already enough from me,

So refrain from views

And resume my daily snooze.”

Respectfully submitted,

DR. JON K. MAGENDANZ

John Berry has a remarkable granddaughter named Ella Minaka Berry Joshi, who is both a fine student and a gifted artist. Not long ago, she created a collage depicting John in easily recognizable form using moistened pieces of The Washington Post. Her work was chosen by the National Art Education Association to be exhibited in U.S. embassies around the world.

Ann and Bob Williams celebrated their 74th wedding anniversary in August. Bob had a booth at The Highlands Craft Fair in November. It was a great way for him to interact with people interested in his publications in the field of history. He has two new books published recently: Golden Fleece: The Voynich Manuscript and British Intelligence (Dorrance, 2024) and a fifth edition of The Historian’s Toolbox (Routledge, 2024), which enjoys a solid reputation after 20 years on the market.

Peter Nilsen passed away on May 28, 2024. He attended Wesleyan for three semesters, during which time he joined Delta Sigma fraternity. He later graduated with an MBA from the University of Hartford. He was employed by Aetna Insurance for 29 years, where he became vice president of bond investments. He loved spending time with his family, reading, skiing, and traveling in his retirement. Peter is survived by his wife, Susan Nilsen, two daughters, three stepchildren, and six grandchildren. My condolences to his family and friends.

In September, Tish and I were part of the wedding celebration for her granddaughter at a rural venue adjacent to the historic Gallon House Covered Bridge in Silverton, Oregon.

CLASS OF 1959 | 2025 | SPRING ISSUE

Skip writes: Greetings. We begin with a summary of the original Class of ’59 that arrived at Wes in the fall of ’55. This summary is thanks to Paul Hadzima, who prepared it after our 65th Reunion in May 2024: 202 arrived in ’55; 159 graduated in ’59; 88 were still alive at our 65th, at which nine were in attendance. Wesleyan’s records may be at fault for several pluses or minuses, but this is a pretty good summary. I can probably answer simple questions about the lists.

Marty Weil was first to reply. He sent greetings to all with the closing line from a famous Christmas poem: “And to all a Happy Holidays.” He is still “doing it” at The Washington Post.

Tim Day had just returned from Park City. One of the few of us who is still skiing. He continues to support the USMC by sending marine officers to HBS and the Advance Management Program. He reported he and Sandy are in good health and living “the good life.”

Herb Steiner reported the birth of grandchild number 12. He and Ellen planned to enjoy winter in Delray Beach, Florida. He recently caught up with Joe and Nan Vander Veer, who were in Ridgewood, New Jersey—Joe’s hometown for a Ridgewood Symphony concert and Herb’s efforts with his clarinet.

Bob Hydeman checked in. He and Judy are in their 62nd year of marriage. They have two children and five grandkids; ages of all range from 60 to 22. All grands have college degrees, four have graduate degrees. Great-grandkids are next. Judy has become a great artist, and Bob is working with a small tech company, helping with its marketing. Never idle!

Charlie Huchet ruminated about his 16-year-old granddaughter who is “in love” for the first time and wonders if it is too soon to consider marriage; a 21-year-old granddaughter at George Washington University worries about being arrested for demonstrating about the trans issue. Despite these issues, he is confident these kids will “turn out great.” He loves reading, cooking, writing cranky letters to the local rag, serving on the local planning commission, and tilting with his blunted lance at the neanderthals. Laughing with Charlie Wrubel and Tom Malamud ’60 fills the rest of his time.

Joe Mallory spent Christmas week in LA with his family. He has three grandkids at Dartmouth, but presently they are in Peru, Japan, and London. Another grandkid is in Ojai, California. I agree with Joe on his recalling where he was when at that age. He had never been anywhere but Philadelphia and then Middletown. Very similar in my case. We thought about jobs in spring of our senior years; his grands already have job offers from junior summer jobs.

Molly and I traveled to Alta, Utah, for our annual kids and grandkids skiing week.

Alan shares: Tom McHugh’s widow, Anne, wrote from Hillsboro, Oregon, that “This has been a quieter year marked, unfortunately, by the loss of altogether too many family members and dear friends. Fortunately, my health remains well.” Anne continues to settle into her life, very much enjoying the Pacific Northwest and being near to at least some of her family. After Thanksgiving she was looking forward to going to San Antonio, a city she always wanted to visit, with two friends from her retirement home.

Walter Burnett wrote from Cockeysville, Maryland, that he is in an active community with many new friends and opportunities for enjoying life and following his interests in public policy, genealogy, bridge, and the natural world. As he has for the past 16 years, Walt spent this past summer traveling 5,700 miles, the highlight of which was time spent in Crested Butte, Colorado, with members of his family.

CLASS OF 1958 | 2025 | SPRING ISSUE

Class of ’58,

Eleven responses; I will not speculate as to what percent of the class that represents.

Neil Henry is recuperating from a partial prostatectomy. So, no heavy lifting except a wine glass or a beer stein.

Bill Fryer is retired but still working part time. He enjoys the work since it involves working with people.

Bill Krenz reflects back to the 1890s, when his grandmother, age 13, was a housekeeper for Wesleyan Professor Winchester. His wife’s grandfather, an Italian immigrant, crafted the woodwork in the Wesleyan president’s home. His wife is a skilled mechanic, and he is not an effective house cleaner.

Bob Hayes reports that he is still vertical and taking nourishment. He continues bull sessions with friends, although remotely. He continues to write for pleasure and occasionally in professional journals. He was in Boothbay for the annual Hayes family reunion at Christmas. In mid-January he was in the Caribbean.

Pirkko and Burr Edwards are in southern France and reveal that the French countryside is treating them gently. They venture elsewhere to enjoy friends, concerts, and just walking around in places that have a bit of a buzz.

This fall, former roommate Dan Woodhead and I followed via the internet the Wes football team. We believe the 8-1 record is noteworthy.

Bart Bolton reports that his time-share units on Longboat Key were severely damaged by the hurricane. He is hoping they will be available for April.

Dick Goldman is spending the winter in Key Biscayne with friend, Phyllis. They just drove to Naples, and Kay and I had lunch with them. Great time.

Tony Codding spent most of last summer at Long Lake, Maine. In September he had lunch with Bill Clark who summers in Bangor, Maine.

Art Geltzer is now fully retired. He realized he was too old to practice medicine. He recently attended a cross-country meet in New London. He and wife, Younghee, supported the Wes team.

Arthur Levine reported the news of Ted Wieseman’s passing. He sent this tribute: “Sadly, I report the death of Ted Wieseman at the beginning of December following a short illness. After Ted completed his Fulbright year in Denmark and spent a year at Princeton studying history, we renewed our Wesleyan friendship while we were both attending Columbia Law School. We both moved to the Washington, D.C., area where Ted worked in the honors program at the Department of Justice. He was an assistant U.S. attorney and subsequently practiced law in a partnership with his wife, Mary, until her death. Ted then was appointed to head the Public Defender Office for Montgomery County. He continued working in the Maryland Public Defender Office until his retirement in 2003. Our 70-year friendship continued with regular lunches or dinners or phone calls or going together to Redskin football games. Ted was an outstanding lawyer, father, grandfather, and friend. I shall miss him, as will his many friends.”

I keep in touch with Ezra Amsterdam who has cut back to working 20%. We talk about good times at Wes and exchange book suggestions.

Kay and I are as healthy as we could hope for our ages. Again, keep to my hobbies, but at a reduced pace.

Have a great 2025—Cliff

George Willauer writes that he and Ed Porter realized a summer dream when Ed came from Nova Scotia to visit him in Lyme. It was a cultural weekend, with a trip to New York to see La Boheme at the Met, a new exhibit at MOMA, and the Cloisters. A special treat was a drive to Wesleyan to see the new Pruzan Art Center.

Here is a picture of Allan Kalb and his new toy, a recumbent trike. Next fall he plans to travel the Erie Canal Bikeway from Buffalo to Albany with his two sons, two grandsons, and a cousin. That’s over 300 miles! He must be in great shape for a nonagenarian-to-be.

Ken Travis reports that he and Janice have made it through another year and remain in “good shape for the shape they’re in.” They are impressed with the parenting skills of their grandchildren.

Mark Feldman and Mimi celebrated New Year’s Eve by babysitting their grandcats while his daughter, Ilana ’91, traveled. He’s grateful to be here with enough energy to bother the Supreme Court with opinions on issues he worked on in government in centuries past.

I got an email from Bob Anderson, who invited me to cull from his annual letter to family and friends. His youngest son, Peter, lives with him and does a lot of interior work, although Bob does up to two hours of low-level yard work on clear days. No cane or walker yet. He may decide this year to move to some place with less work and flatter ground.

Ric Winslow retired two years ago from teaching at Iona College. Although he lives alone, he is surrounded by several generations of family. He says he is in awe of the amount of history that people our age have lived through and continue to witness.

Betty and I drove to visit our daughter and her grandchildren in Maryland over Thanksgiving. It was an arduous trip. The traffic in the D.C. area is unbelievable, but everyone up there seems to take it in stride. Here is a picture of me and our identical twin great-granddaughters.

Jim Jekel writes, “I am doing OK, but very much missing my wife, Jan, of 64 years. I live with my daughter, one block from number 1 son, three miles from number 3 son, but about two hours’ drive from number 2 son. I saw them all for the Christmas feast and games. One of our grandchildren, a U.S. fighter pilot in Texas, recently married another fighter pilot there (she’s one year behind him in seniority), and we got to meet her. She’s very nice, a good addition to the family.

“I have trouble remembering the names of all of my 13 great-grandchildren, whom I don’t see so frequently. (With another in the pipeline, we are approaching 16 great-grandchildren, putting us in line for some sort of mathematical sequence: two [my wife and me], four children, eight grandchildren, and …. Since I did not major in math, this has nothing to do with that!)

“Best wishes for 2025 to all our surviving classmates.”

Art von Au’s wife, Rosalind, writes: “After 50 years, Art has relinquished his leadership of a contemporary literature reading group. Participants now rotate leadership of the group discussions. Art would like to recommend two books: James by Percival Everett, a retelling of Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn, and The Road to Wisdom: Truth, Science, Faith and Trust by the former director of NIH, Dr. Francis S. Collins.”

Writes Don Gerardi: “Since COVID, my regular yearly travels have stopped. I had spent a good deal of time in Berlin as a kind of home base but did not neglect other European countries, as well as trips to Egypt, Turkey, and several New Year’s Eves in St. Petersburg, until Putin came on the scene. I saw him introduced on New Year’s Eve on TV. As I remember, he looked rather . . . uncomfortable.

“Since grad school at Columbia, I’ve lived in the West Village and spent satisfying decades teaching at Brooklyn College, where I am now emeritus professor of history, religious studies. After retiring, to keep focused, I began a research project in the Trinity Church archives. The result is a book manuscript in search of a publisher: The Rector of Trinity Church: Morgan Dix and the Challenge of Urban Ministry in 19th Century New York.

“Warm good wishes for the new year to our classmates still with us.”

Mort Paterson reports: “I recently worked up, with the help of my sons and dear wife, Sue, a video that I have put on YouTube, accessible there as Mort Paterson Speaks Shakespeare’s Verse. I’m still on stage from time to time with the neighborhood Olde Academy Theatre, a fun group.

“I now have a grandson! Granddaughters Emma and Grace are already over 20.

“We celebrated New Year’s Eve with Sue’s sister in Raleigh, North Carolina. (Did I bring my statins?)”

Al Haas contributes: “We are in good health, productively engaged.” In his yearly newsletter he reports that his grands, Jan and Kelly, and Ned and Kristina, celebrated their silver anniversaries as happily married couples. And also from the next generation:Ryangraduated from the University of Miami with a cum laude degree in atmospheric sciences andcontinues in a graduate programatSUNY Albany; Jack graduated from Dartmouth College with honors in computer science and is currently employed as a data analyst in a start-up beverage company; Alex (film production) and Maja (environmental studies with focus on markets and economics) will follow next year to earn their diplomas from the same schools as their brothers; Cooper has begun his sophomore year at Skidmore College as a double major in business and computer science and enjoys success on the LAX field; and Tyler will be finishing his successful career at Wellesley High School and heading off to Bucknell, where he was accepted early decision on New Year’s Eve day!”

Al, of course, retired last year from Educational Futures.

Finally, John Foster harrumphs “to [your] perseverance to live and provoke your classmates to pen some inanities to the class notes. Last time around I said, ‘Nah, I think I’ll pass,’ only to say, ‘I’ll toss in something to help George out only to carrying it too far.’ So, I write now to let people know that I’m still aboveground, living with my wife at home, despite the begging of a new and attractive retirement facility here.

“On New Year’s Eve day, Lila and I gave thanks for our so long-departed daughter and our two sons living here in Marblehead. For me, I find myself so grateful for all of it, yet I wonder how it could have been, given all of the sorrows of the world.”

Thumbs up!

It’s been a good start to the new year with the receipt of notes from two classmates who have made it possible for the streak to continue!

Jake Congleton wrote what I’m sure most of us realize: “There can’t be too many of us left.” Jake still resides in Maine, and, as we can understand, doesn’t travel much anymore. He mentions that his wife, Sally, keeps him out of trouble! He admired the success of the Cards this year versus his last season in ’54. Jake would love to hear from other members of the “crucial class,” and can be reached at congleton33@gmail.com.

Tom Nall, who has been a grand supporter, wrote, “I wish I had something interesting for your class notes, but it is just the same old-man stuff. Maybe the surprise would be that I am still alive. But since I am not kickin’, I guess I can’t kick the bucket either! I have great long-term care insurance for which I have paid [dearly], so I think I should be getting some of that back. I am waiting for a place to open up at a nearby assisted-living facility. The waiting list for the suite I want is pretty long, but so far, I can still drive and take care of myself. Nothing very exciting, but that’s it.”

Sounds familiar! Wishing everyone a happy New Year, with best wishes to you and your loved ones.

John Binswanger writes, “All is well. Doing a little traveling.” John planned to spend time in Florida in January and February visiting family. “Disappointed with the election but willing to wait and see.” He works out “three or four days a week when weather permits. Hope to make the next reunion. Best to everyone for the new year.”

Martin Feins says, “Now living in Naples, Florida, full time. Lost my wife five years ago and remarried to a lovely woman from the UK about two years ago. Would love to get together with any ’54er in my area or any Wes guy from my era.” Marty can be reached at martinfeins@gmail.com.

Bud Johnson and his wife, Lynn, celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary in February. “We are thankful to have been blessed with years to watch our grandkids start their families. A year ago, we moved into The Osborn, a senior living campus in Rye, New York. Down south, we still have a seasonal home in Florida to avoid ice and snow.” Bud is an active senior advisor on the American Security Council Foundation Board. His several years as a naval plane commander— involved in Formosa, South China Sea surveillance—is helpful in defining ASCF’s Peace through Strength Mission in the Far East. Bud says he’s a “very lucky boy!!!”

Melvin Katz, 92, of Westport, Connecticut, passed away March 17, 2024. He was a child of immigrants and grew up in Brooklyn. After graduating with our class, he attended Harvard Law School. During an active legal career, he became a dean of the New York Securities Bar. He enjoyed other activities including classical music, the New York Giants, and wintertime skiing. Mel is survived by his wife of 56 years, Judy, children, Jonathan Katz ’92 and Melissa Kane, and her husband, Jon, and his two grandchildren, George Kane and Lily Kane.

Gerald Patrick moved into a retirement community in January. His friend will continue to visit as she has for 15 years. A grandson, Mike (son of his daughter, Elaine ’79), recently was married. Jerry keeps occupied with duplicate bridge, writing stories, and building ship models.

Stephen Friedland retired in 2020 from pediatric practice. Life went smoothly until Anne developed undiagnosed leg problems. Healthwise, they have been pretty stable for the most part. Anne gets to her needlepoint meetings, and Steve is a docent at the FDR museum. Their daughters live in the area; their son and family live in Washington State. A June marriage of a grandson provided for a great family reunion.

Richard Levinson reports he is working every day with his old law firm.

Jerry Zackin writes Sandy had a second knee replacement. They spend seven to eight months in Florida and the rest in Yarmouth. Golf four or five days a week. They have a full schedule of events—theater and music.

Glad for the two late reports—keep the news coming, anytime.
