54 THE TRINITY REPORTER CLASS NOTES retiring from Jewish Family and Children’s Services of San Francisco. I am embarking on my fifth career change and becoming a proj - ect manager/owner’s rep for major remodel and construction projects. I hope this gives me enough time to start to play golf a bit more regularly, but I hope to be busy enough to use that as an excuse when I play! I also should have time to enjoy the occasional drinks/din- ner with Ben Taber ’71 more often.” My husband, Peter, and I also have news. On May 1, our daughter Caroline married Neil Regan on Cape Cod, with a party in my moth- er’s yard in Centerville. It would have been wonderful under any circumstances, but for most of us, it also was our first post-COVID event. Elating. We are so fortunate. Thanks to all for writing. Please stay in touch. I know we’ll have more big news next time! Stay well. Stay busy. 1978 Class Secretary: Jory F. Lockwood, 67 Scarlet Oak Dr., Wilton, CT 06897-1014; jory.lockwood.1978@ trincoll.edu • Class Agents: Bob Carey, Vivi Dunklee Duke, Charles Glanville, Tom Lenahan, George Malhame, Andrew Terhune • /groups/TrinityCollege78 Rachel (Robin) Pohl is conducting good and important work and writes, “Thank you science and Dr. Fauci” and wishes “everyone health and equity for all. On this note, I’m grateful to be working on a team to scale telehealth and technology through a network of 35 health centers in Massachusetts, serving under-resourced people and building com- munity partnerships. Happy to share more if anyone is focused in this area of work and intersectional investment.” Take care, Rachel! Doug Thom submitted this short, inter - esting, and slightly mysterious note. “I will send something unless you think I’ve shared enough! I hope you are well! Sincerely, Doug” And he adds, “I’m very in love with a woman I met while on my junior year abroad—the IES program in Freiburg.” Brian Thomas dropped into The Trinity Reporter world with this fabulous note. “Good morning, and thanks for your contin- ued efforts to collect news about our class. It does seem like so long ago that we were walking beneath the elms. Hope you have managed well during the COVID period. I am in year 21 at Johnson & Johnson and spent the last 15 months working from home. We will start venturing back into the workplace next month. Not quite sure when I will hit the exit ramp but perhaps after my number two daughter gets married next June (2022). Number one daughter got married in 2018 and made us grandparents on December 30, 2020. It is so fun to be able to see our grand - daughter from time to time (they live outside D.C.). Number three child (son) just moved back to N.Y.C. after it seemed safer (2019 NYU grad). My wife continues her middle-school teaching and is about to finish a year that will not be forgotten, but happy to see in the rearview mirror. We both look forward to being able to travel again as we move into 2022. All the best to you and the rest of the Class of 1978.” Jory Lockwood (that’s me) shares this: What a long year 2020 was. My hair remains uncut since March 2020 and has started to resemble the hairdo of Grandmama from The Addams Family . Now that I am fully vaccinated (and have learned how to spell “vaccine” and “vaccinated” without having to look it up or spell-check it), I will be getting it cut to a more suitable length sometime soon. I had the opportunity to see Professor Riggio last month, which brings us to more than 45 years of friendship. I attended the Zoom retirement party of a dear friend I have known since sec - ond grade. And a second cousin whom I had not seen in likely over a decade recently spent the weekend visiting. The theme is, I think, that the relationships we have are critical to our happiness and well-being. 1979 Co-Class Secretary: James M.G. Cropsey, 376 Sanborn Rd., Tilton, NH 03276-5729; james.cropsey.1979@ trincoll.edu • Co-Class Secretary: Kenneth C. Crowe II, 395 State St., Apt. 4F, Albany, NY 12210-1214; kenneth.crowe.1979@trincoll. edu • Co-Class Secretary: Diane Molleson, 4375 Kimberly St., Richland, WA 99352-8477; [email protected] • Class Agents: Barlow Peelle, Susan Tananbaum Bill Zimmerling writes to describe a whirl - wind of activity. As Bill says, “My wife, Sara, and I are headed to London this July for our oldest daughter’s wedding in Oxford. It’s been rescheduled three times. Kind of like Brexit, we knew it was going to happen, just didn’t know when. Our youngest daughter has completed her first year of law school and unlike her father seems to have a talent for legal writing. Trust everyone is getting the jab as we come out on the other side of this scourge.” Thanks for touching base, Bill. Barlow Peelle was in touch with Jim Cropsey . Barlow is justly proud of his daughter, Emma. Barlow described Emma as a “poster child for perseverance” for overcoming medical issues while competing in Division I athletics at George Washington University. “She not only stuck with DI crew, rowing in number one boat for four years, but didn’t even know she graduated cum laude. Then, as a double major in psych and public health, she gets herself into a top school’s master’s program for IO-psych (industrial organization psychology) at USC. To top it off, she gets a paying internship at a company called Maximus this summer.” Barlow, of course, has the challenge of serving as our class agent along with Susan Tananbaum . Jim also spoke with Barbara Karlen Blitstein , who works for Berkshire Hathaway in Rye, New York. Amy Katz participated as a member of a panel of four alumnae to discuss “Trust and the Media: Bringing the Conversation Back to Center.” The Women’s Leadership Council sponsored the event in May. Amy is a senior executive producer at Voice of America in Washington, D.C. Amy has held other promi- nent media posts. George Brickley writes that in May, he played in a Trinity hockey team fundraiser golf outing at Fox Hopyard in East Haddam, Connecticut. He caught up with fellow class - mates/teammates Clint Brown and Ted Almy . “They both look good and are still on the top of their games!” George and Cindy (Higgins ’80) are busy spending time with their first grandchild, 8-month-old Lola. Lola and her parents recently moved from Brooklyn to Melrose, Massachusetts (George’s hometown and current residence). “It’s fantastic having our daughter and granddaughter so close (about a half mile away). Put us in the cate- gory of ‘doting grandparents.’ We are spoiling her bad!” Ken Crowe is serving again as president of his union, Albany Newspaper Guild, Local 31034, TNG-CWA. Ken stepped in as acting president when his predecessor resigned from the Times Union to work in Wilmington, Delaware. It was a quick election to become president until December 31, 2022, repre- senting 120 people at the Times Union . In a weekend break from union duties, he went to Northwestern University to see his nephew Troy Hattler graduate. Troy was a volun- teer assistant coach for the Northwestern women’s lacrosse team that won the Big 10 title. Unfortunately, they lost in the semifinals of the national playoffs over Memorial Day weekend at Towson University in Maryland. Sadly, Steven J. Popkin died on Oct. 20, 2020. The “In Memory” section of the spring Reporter had a list of those who’ve passed George Brickley ’79 holds his 8-month-old grand- daughter, Lola, who’s getting ready to be the third generation of the family to attend Trinity.
