Notes from the 60's

Notes from the 60’s
 
Lisa Barber Houck ’60 – I’m a clinical social worker, working in an elementary/middle school, reliving early adolescence every day. I married Oliver Houck, who teaches Law at Tulane University. We have two fine boys, Cyprian and Gabriel, who are mostly launched.
 
Ted Cole ’60 – In a note attached to Ted’s Annual Fund gift to Pine Cobble he wanted his gift to be specifically for the Alice Chaffee Freeman ’60 and Sandy Hewat’s ’60 nostalgia page! Ted wrote, “Back before there was dirt and there was Dwight Little, our small seventh, eighth and ninth grade class terrorized Pine Cobble.  I am now retired having had a few strokes and cancer.  I still play as horrible a round of golf as Sandy Hewat can attest to from days of old when we played Taconic and stole his Mom's cigarettes to smoke on the course.  Our soccer team, including five girls, was awesome and defeated many a team, disadvantaged by not having female talent on their squads. I spent two plus tours helping lose the Vietnam War with others in our class.  Though I could barely pass French and Latin at PC, I was a cracker-jack linguist for the Army.  This may attest to Pine Cobble's high standards or the Army's lack of standards.  In any case, I survived both. I spent 30 years in the insurance industry, but my greatest accomplishment is two great kids and 36+ years of marital bliss. The bliss is for me.  Its been tolerance for my bride, Mary Dallas. As some girl friends of PC may verify, "Some things never change".
 
Susan Hunter ’65 – Ran into David Buckley ‘64 in the Manchester, Vermont tax office in September! On 9/29, married Doug Watson whose sister, Barbara, was a classmate of Maro Hall ‘65 and Ellie Gilman ‘65 at Mary Burnham!..and the circle of life closes back around to its beginning….
