Of course I always think of my first time singing it at Park School when Mrs. Durblin led the whole upper school in this beautiful Christmas concert. My 12 years at Park were the best beginning to an amazing life. Thank you, Park School! Hugs, love, blessings to all of you there.” 1958 Carl Wagner shared, “Priceless memory of Mr. Knopp’s admonition to Charlie Little: ‘Leetle, thees ees not a peekneek!’” Janet Aberdeen Mueller writes, “Thank you Park for paving the way for my lifetime dreams and goals.” Susan Womer Katzev writes, “Hi, Pals, for fifty years I've been working to publish the results of my husband Michael's excavation of the Kyrenia Ship, which sank off the north coast of Cyprus in the last days of Alexander the Great's reign over the Mediterranean. Last year our first volume won the award as best archaeological publication in America... so that is the impetus to finish the next 2 volumes. Two boy cats keep me company in my home on the coast of Maine. As I look out my office window just now I see a lobster fisherman hauling his traps. There is always life around the water... eider ducks swimming with their babies, osprey overhead diving for fish, and work or pleasure sail boats in the distance. The people of Maine are instantly friendly and welcoming. I can't imagine living anywhere else. Cheers, everybody, Susan” 1961 Iris Brownrout shared the following message, "Although I graduated many years ago, the lasting legacy of what Park has done for me as a person has been indelible and has taught me about how to think about the world. It has brought out my creativity and led me to writing my own poetry and short stories. I’ll never forget music assembly with Mr. Doblin or our ballet lessons. I also loved Mr. Thomas’s English classes and Mr. Forbes’s history classes in colonial history. Pottery class was also so enjoyable and memorable. Thank you, Park, for everything." Scott Moss has been given the 2024 Rosaria Conte Outstanding Contribution Award by the European Social Simulation Association. CLASS NOTES 1967 Joe Allen writes, “Greg Schneider and I have been exploring this country on a number of trips over the years. Our latest adventure to Alaska proved to be one of the best. The diverse landscape and rugged mountains create a unique sanctuary for some of nature’s more sturdy creatures. After flights from Buffalo to Chicago and then Seattle to Fairbanks - the bus ride to the lodge outside Denali brought us out into the wilderness. Had a boat ride to see a Native American village and tasted reindeer chili. The McKinley lodge had a treehouse built by the Treehouse Masters - 108 steps to reach it. The view above the clouds to see Mount Denali was marvelous. From the bus to the train to the ship, the vast land that is for the most part untamed was an eye-opening adventure to a special space in our great nation. Everyone should take the time to enjoy this experience.” 1974 Pam Glick was featured in the New York Times in April 2024 as part of an article titled “What to See in N.Y.C. Galleries.” The article applauds her dynamic creativity and states that “She paints with a kind of freehand cursive that moves in many cultural directions: modernist, Indigenous, decorative." 1975 Leslie Bunis Ohl hosted some fellow Pioneers in October in Sarasota, FL for a Bills game watch party. "Many of us are looking forward to our 50th in June 2025!" she says. Pictured from left to right standing: Elizabeth Rand ‘79, Jed Dare ‘75, Doug Doolittle ‘76, Patty Koren Witt ‘73.
