October reception. Doug is
still working in international
financial services development,
currently in conflict
regions including Afghanistan
and Iraq. “I can see that my
generation has not fixed all of
the world’s challenges, and
plenty is left for the next generation
of Pingry alums to sort
out!” he writes

Former trustee Tony Borden
wrote: “My wife Cathy and I
officially retired to Leland,
Michigan in April 2010 after
selling our house in Mendham
Township in five days after
listing. Yes, it is good to be
lucky! Leland is on the beautiful
northwestern coast of
Michigan, north of Traverse
City and about 275 miles
northwest of Detroit. This is
an area where we have vacationed
for over 30 years, and
we have made many friends
here. It is a wonderful community
filled with many interesting
people from all over the
U.S., so our transition has
been as easy one. Interestingly,
last summer Yahoo! Travel
identified Leland as one of the
10 best lake towns in the U.S.
We would certainly agree with
that, but don’t need any more
publicity after that. The summer
here last year was spectacular,
and most of our time has
been devoted to enjoying
many different outdoor activities
and catching up with
friends. After more than four
decades of working, it has
been refreshing to have the
pressure off for a while and be
able to decide day-to-day what
I am doing. We are sorting
through the various options we
have for this next phase of our
lives. We know we will travel
some during winter months
and will find other stimulating
and worthwhile pursuits.
We miss our New Jersey
friends, of course, and I will
miss my long involvement
with Pingry. But change is
good!”
Dr. Bill Lycan enjoyed a personal
first: three separate trips
to the lower southern hemisphere
within four months:
New Zealand in March and
April, southern Brazil in June,
and Sydney in July.
Harry Moser: “I retired from
AgieCharmilles on December
31, 2010, after 25 exciting and
rewarding years, and I am transitioning
to the Reshoring
Initiative (www.reshorenow.
org) which I founded and
operate. Our mission is to
bring manufacturing jobs back
to the U.S. and thus reduce
U.S. unemployment and the
trade and budget deficits. Our
method is to show companies
that when they accurately calculate
the full cost of offshoring,
it is in their own interest
to reshore much of the
work. The Initiative is getting
lots of visibility with mentions
in USA TODAY, The Wall
Street Journal, CBS, and
CNBC, plus many articles
in the industry press. My
speaking schedule included:
the Conference on the
Renaissance of American
Manufacturing, 9/28 at the
National Press Club with
speakers like Andy Grove and
several senators and congressmen;
and the 11/11 and 12
Indian Hills, Illinois American
Manufacturing Strategies
Conference, which I chaired.
I encourage interested alumni
to learn more at the Initiative
web site and ask their companies
to use our tools to reevaluate
offshoring decisions.
When I am not saving the
country, I am working out two
hours each day, gardening,
writing Letters to the Editor,
and visiting my two granddaughters
in Athens, Georgia
with my wife Jo.

small consultancy focusing on
helping organizations leverage
creativity, innovation, and
strategy for greater success.
He writes: “In another venture,
I am helping entrepreneurs
in New York City. I am
also traveling for pleasure
with my wife—Patagonia and
Peru for hiking trips lately.
Hope all is well with everyone
in the Class of ’63!”
