"Greetings to 1957 classmates. I thought I had retired when I left my job in 2003 as Lower School Music Director at Milton Academy (prep school near Boston), but I guess not. I've been subbing ever since, and now have taken a part-time job teaching music at Tenacre Country Day School in Wellesley, MA. I love it! Just enough to keep my hand in, but not so much as to be exhausted. Would be happy to hear what you-all are doing!"

As an alumnus, you may find the following video of interest. One of my classmates who knew about it suggested I inform the college. I started and continue to be involved in the discovery of an important segment of the innate immune system called the Cryopyrin Inflammasome. The ramifications are continuing to have implications in many medical disciplines. http://www.healthybodyhealthymind.com/.

Life seems to get more and more interesting for the two of us as time marches on. We continue to be in excellent general health for codgers.
Our four offspring,spouses and our fourteen grandchildren continue to be an important part of our lives. Zionsville, IN, Milford, OH, Mechanicsburg, PA and Charlotte, NC (soon to be Columbus, MS) provide frequent opportunities to see much of this part of the country. Sister Rebecca '57 and Lowell '59 Strohl invited us to spend time with them in their lovely new condo in Naples, FL recently. We just returned from several days at French Lick, IN at the amazing rejuvenated West Baden Inn (thanks to a Christmas present from our kids.) Gardening (flowers and trees for Gretchen and vegetables for me) are also important parts of our lives. In fact, if things go as planned, we are about to embark upon a Community Gardening project that will keep us very busy. Thanks to the Rotary Club of Portland, IN, the exciting reconnection with classmate Rey Caranza '55 that occurred at our 50th Reunion has resulted in the opening of a library in his village of Santa Lucia, Zacatecas, Mexico. Other health and medically related projects there are currently on the drawing boards.
