Peter Stout ’72 arrived at a Middlesex summer golf outing in North<br />
Boulder, CO, with three artifacts from the 1970s: his Mini Cooper,<br />
a Middlesex pennant, and his varsity letter “M”—the last of which<br />
served as the trophy for the winning foursome.<br />
most clueless codger in the world<br />
and then answered, ‘Scooping up<br />
ground balls.’ Some things<br />
do change—not only is there a<br />
lacrosse tradition, but the Golden<br />
Shovel has been subsumed into<br />
that tradition.”<br />

From Alaska, George Nagel<br />
reports, “I set a goal of bicycling<br />
500 miles this past winter. Winter<br />
defined: From the date I put studded<br />
tires on my bike (November 3)<br />
until the date I put my summer<br />
tires back on (April 10). I ended<br />
up biking 628 miles around<br />
Anchorage.” George adds that<br />
he has also been singing classic<br />
rock songs at open mic nights<br />
around town.<br />

Earlier in the spring, several classmates<br />
could not resist an e-mail<br />
exchange concerning our current<br />
President. First time anyone had<br />
communicated since the 45th.<br />
Harry Orenstein writes that he<br />
would like to attend the 50th but<br />
travel might be difficult. He is<br />
doing well and would like to send<br />
a “hello” to Stephen Zinsser,<br />
Robert Eberhart, and Dwight Hill.<br />
Buck Parson responds, “All<br />
good here.” After 18 years, he is still<br />
at First Republic, and his twins had<br />
good freshman years at Hamilton<br />
and Georgetown. He continues<br />
to play lots of golf.<br />
George Wadsworth continues<br />
as a hospitalist nurse practitioner<br />
for Martin Health Systems at<br />
Tradition Medical Center in Port<br />
St. Lucie, FL, and works part time<br />
in the same role for Schumacher<br />
Clinical Partners in nearby Sebastian,<br />
FL. His life is “never dull,”<br />
and he sends “best wishes” to all.<br />

Tom Doe reports, “Our big news<br />
this summer is that our eldest<br />
daughter, Whitney, and her husband<br />
had a boy, Thomas Walch<br />
Gossett—our first grandchild—<br />
on June 13. Our daughter lives<br />
in Austin, TX. In addition, we<br />
bought a condo in downtown<br />
Austin and will be spending more<br />
time in the winter there. Mimi<br />
and I are in good health, have solid<br />
businesses, and continue to love<br />
being in Concord. Our youngest<br />
daughter, Liz, and her husband<br />
returned from a year in Sweden<br />
and are back in Charlottesville,<br />
VA, where she is finishing her dissertation.<br />
I will accompany Liz to<br />
Stockholm for my 60th to see her<br />
present a paper at the John Singer<br />
Sargent exhibit when the National<br />
Art Museum reopens in October.<br />
I see Middlesex alumni in Concord<br />
at the golf course and around<br />
town.”<br />
Chip King wrote last summer,<br />
“Hi, everyone. It’s always inspirational<br />
to read the insightful, generous,<br />
and loving comments that<br />
members of our class have shared<br />
in the last couple of years. Sadly,<br />
the richest have come at the time<br />
of losing several of our fellow ’76ers.<br />
But we all certainly drew closer as<br />
many of us reveled in the wonder<br />
that was our 40th class reunion!<br />
Since I haven’t volunteered many<br />
updates to the <strong>Alumni</strong> <strong>Bulletin</strong><br />
over the years, here’s an overview<br />
of things in my life since graduating.<br />
I fled south to Tulane to earn<br />
a B.A. in the ever-versatile field<br />
of English. Spending 16 months<br />
at Exeter University, Devonshire<br />
during that time was awesome.<br />
In 1983, I moved from Atlanta to<br />
Charlottesville, where I still reside.<br />
I started Alley Antiques and for 12<br />
years lived a great, not-so-lucrative<br />
lifestyle, junking, toting, refinishing,<br />
and exploring in pursuit of a<br />
wide variety of aged objects. I met<br />
my wife, Terri Di Cintio, and we<br />
married in 2000 at nearby Barboursville<br />
Vineyards. Jim Grossman<br />
attended, and Josh Lyons was my<br />
best man! Shortly thereafter, I took<br />
a job at Barboursville to pay off the<br />
tab (not really). I spent four years<br />
Still just down the road from campus, Nancy and Ned Herter ’73 once again hosted a great class party<br />
at the close of <strong>Alumni</strong> Weekend. Standing, from left to right: George Newson, Nancy Herter, Steve Wilkins<br />
