First, Greetings! As Bill and I are hosting an International Student (grade 11 at the local PUBLIC high school) I will only be with you in spirit at our 55th reunion. Enjoy! Now: I'm writing a piece on Oppenheimer and HUAC for our next "Intelligence Digest"(sm) focused on the threats "Corpocracy" pose to democracy. Deeply grateful to learn the sad trajectory of his daughter (O.C.'66)'s life. Any other thoughts or ANECDOTES of personal experiences of the traumas inflicted by the monstrous House UnAmerican Activities Committee, Senator Joe McCarthy, etc. would be helpful - anonymous or first person attribution as you please. THANK YOU. And again. Looking forward to hearing more about the good times you're about to enjoy. See you at the 60th!
Genuinely happy you've "surfaced", Marc! So pleased, in fact, that a "private" message is on its way with lots more than this greatly appreciated site can accommodate!
Your marriage of "elegy" to "eulogy" is truly outstanding. Thank you for raising the bar for me in thinking about tributes.

EXCELLENT resource on our existentially threatening climate crisis, Dan, thanks for being so patient - your "particular" response is helpful well beyond the current circumstances calling ALL who might need further "guidance" into the reality of What's Happening (here in B.C. it is wildfires/drought/heat domes...which are becoming the new normal. Oh, and as for "disruption"! Today, May 20th, it's supposed to freeze this week, surely a death knell for the promise of pears, and delaying any "planting" beyond hopes for local "food security". Need I add "Attention Must Be Paid"? Thanks again.,

As always, Dear Norman, delighted that you are in The Club ... 75 is a FINE Club, so glad you joined it! And again, you were a HIGHLIGHT of the "50th" - I think often of our scaring the dinner crowd with rowdy laughter (ok, so Scott Schillin was a ROWD, too, ALSO good). Here's to All Good Things for you and yours!

As Dascomb's "head waiter" my sophomore year working there, you, dear Carl, taught me a LOT...trust you're persevering. It was some years ago we briefly reunited at a (presumably "cluster") reunion and I've thought fondly of you in the intervening years. New Mexico seems a GREAT place to live! Be well, glad you've joined this thingy.
Lovely to see your cause for CELEBRATING ... with so much more LIFE in you and we lucky ones! Paula
