May/Jun 2007
News from dues: Steve Millner (Stephen.millner.tc.69@aya.yale.edu) writes: “Steve has been working as an independent legal consultant to financial services professionals. He is also active as a professional artist, and his work is shown in several galleries in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. He is just beginning his third term as president of Artists of Yardley, a Bucks County, Pennsylvania, artists’ organization. Steve remarried in 2001, to poet and educator Marie Kane. Marie was recently named 2006 Bucks County Poet Laureate. Steve has two children: Anna, who is just finishing her degree at Temple University, and Phil, a junior in high school.” Bruce Jones (bjones@worldbank.org) writes: “I retired in July from the staff of the World Bank, where I have worked as an economist since 1974. For the past nine years, I was working in the division dealing with education and health in eastern and southern Africa, mainly on loans in support of education sector programs. My wife Vicki and I are remaining in place in suburban northern Virginia. I am continuing to work for the bank part-time as a consultant, and have gone on business trips to Kenya and Tanzania since retiring. I have found ‘half-retirement’ to be a nice balance.”
Scott Nelson (scott.nelson@pol.net) says: “I’m here in my hometown area, having started an ENT medical practice which now has four doctors. My son Patrick (20) is at University of Dayton in international business, and my daughter Susan (18) is at the Savannah College of Art and Design in interior design. No future doctors here! We do run into Brad Gascoigne from time to time. We were classmates at University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. We bonded partly by working on the same cadavers in anatomy class. He looks healthy and hearty. In fact he writes a regular column on health in a Columbus newspaper. His columns have been compiled in a book I’d like to plug:Invest in Your Health (While You Still Have It). Timely advice, mates!”
Alumni magazine online submission (It’s easy! go to yalealumnimagazine.com): Richard Henrich (rhenrich@erols.com) writes: “My theater company, Spooky Action Theater, has formed a partnership with Montgomery College in Silver Spring/Takoma Park, Maryland. Come see Holy Ghosts by Romulus Linney in March and the first-ever stage adaptation of Ursula LeGuin’s The Lathe of Heaven in June.”
The news is starting to thin out; so, reticent classmates, take keyboard in hand, tap out a paragraph or two about your life, and hit “send.” That was easy!

“As for old age, embrace and love it. It abounds with pleasure if you know how to use it. The gradually declining years are among the sweetest in a man’s life, and I maintain that, even when they have reached the extreme limit, they have their pleasure still.” — Seneca
