Evelyn Fansler
Skillington was
delighted to receive
a replica of the
Dickinson mermaid
from Elizabeth
Townsend Jacobs.
75TH REUNION
Evelyn Fansler Skillington writes, “Several days ago I
received a heavy package from Elizabeth Townsend
Jacobs, who lives in Lakeland, Fla. Liz and I are
the last women in the class of 1942 and were nextdoor neighbors on the first floor of Senior House.
With her roommate Mary Snyder Hertzler, and
my roommate Angela Hull Jacobs, we comprised
half of Wheel and Chain in our year. The package
contained a mermaid—a cast-iron replica of the
one that sits on top of Old West and the original
that is now in the Dickinson library. I thought it
would be great to have it in place of our angel on
the Christmas tree this year, but it was way too
heavy, so she now sits on a high bookshelf flapping
her tail. I wanted to name her for her Carlisle
cousin, but I have forgotten her name. She had one
in 1942. Can anyone help me remember the name
of our mermaid or any of her escapades? Thank
you, Liz, for bringing back fond memories of our
years at Dickinson.”

The calendar had already flipped to a brand new
year, and still we waited for a postcard-worthy
snowfall. Although it was 45 degrees and raining
outside, my mind was tuned to James Russell Lowell’s
best-ever description of a world coated in white:
The snow had begun in the gloaming
And busily all the night
Had been heaping field and highway
With a silence deep and white.
Every pine and fir and hemlock
Wore ermine too dear for an earl,
And the poorest twig on the elm tree
Was ridged inch deep with pearl.
Eventually the “white stuff” would come, but
in the meantime Beck’s Seeds and Flowers and
Michigan Bulb already were sharing my mailbox
with arriving Christmas cards. Among the cards
was one from Joan Clapp Biel with the sad news
that husband Earl Biel had died last March while
they were building a new home in a 55-plus
community. Joan and Earl had been happily
married for 66 years, and Earl had been ill for
quite a few years and finally in hospice care.
Although the move was difficult for Joan, she is
getting settled in her new home at 49 Mulberry
Drive, Palmyra, VA 22963. Write her, or call her
at 434-589-2503. Sadly, our modern technology is
slowly eroding the wonderful custom of sending
Christmas cards—all those beauties we admired
year after year: sketches, artists’ reproductions and
pictures we created ourselves with block prints
and family photos. Sad to see artistry give way to
economy and expediency. No Times New Roman
“Merry Christmas” can ever match those bygone
treasures! But winter is a good time to muse on
subjects such as this, go into hibernation, and then
greet spring as if it were a newly minted coin. So
stay warm and dry, and resolve to write or call a
Dickinson friend!

Tom Landis was featured in The Sentinel of
Carlisle. In the article, Landis spoke of the
changes he’s seen in his almost 60 years as a
veterinarian. He says, “I thoroughly enjoyed
the work. It was very fulfilling and I made a
decent living at it. I give the credit to the fact
that my health’s good now to the fact that I was
so physical. It was so demanding to be a manual
veterinary practitioner back in those days.”

Unfortunately, we have had no contact from any
of the class of 1951 members. Please accept these
brief comments about age, with wishes for every
joy in the year ahead. Aging is a process that is a
privilege, but which can be difficult. A philosopher
noted that getting old is not for sissies. Still, we can
be grateful. Another thought was given by HenriFrédéric Amiel, a Swiss moral philosopher, poet
and critic: “To know how to grow old is the masterwork of wisdom, and one of the most difficult
chapters in the great art of living.” Hope these few
words will be meaningful to you in 2017.

As time rolls on, we are rolling right into another
reunion. Where did the last five years go?
Where, indeed, did those years prior to that
go? Andy Rooney captured our feelings in his
usual colorful way, saying, “Life is like a roll of
toilet paper; the closer it gets to the end, the faster
it goes.” As we approach our time together in June
at Dickinson, it is obvious that conversation will
be peppered with those old memories so familiar
to all. A recent issue of Dickinson Magazine
highlighted the world of food at our alma mater,
a world that now caters to preferences of anyone’s
taste buds. That was not the case during our years
when “bon appetit” meant “Have a good appetite
for whatever is served tonight!” Now those words
reflect “Dickinson’s multi- and international
disciplinary approach” to food selection, along
with the hands-on approach through the
Dickinson College Farm. There is even a food
studies certificate program now available. For us,
however, there was just “Consumption 101” as our
program, with just the requirement of getting to
the Dining Hall by 6 p.m. Even then, occasionally,
one might hear, “My mother doesn’t make it this
way!” In pre-holiday meals, students today have
had such delights as fresh strawberries cascading
from a cornucopia container with mounds of real
whipped cream alongside. We, of course, could buy
our own milkshakes downtown from Kruger’s,
or crowd into Kohr’s, where frugal dates would
sometimes share one teabag in two cups of hot
water. Truly we did not suffer, not having today’s
norms as contrast. We always strive to thrive, and
we continue to do so. Please make every effort to
return in June for our reunion. The company will
be fun and the food will be great. Bon appetit!
Again we are treated to the annual New Year’s
greeting from George “Geo” Carl Kaplan. Although
it marks January 2017, and you will read it in the
spring, the update remains current. George writes,
“The transition from living at The Esplanade in
White Plains, N.Y., to living here at Kittay House in
the Bronx was relatively seamless. The difference in
hotel living and apartment living is infinitesimal.
I have virtually the same services, a dining room
with similar cuisine, and a balcony, which I did not
have in White Plains. I lead a book group, present
movies on Sunday night and read to the visually
impaired on Saturday mornings. Those activities,
along with my needlepoint, reading The New York
Times, and occasionally staring off into space on
the balcony, watching the planes take off from
LaGuardia, take up my time. Several times a year, I
meet with friends from NRHS for lunch at the Rye
Grill, reliving memories from 1948. Had a great
birthday dinner in July with Paul and Emily, Allie
and Libby ... and Pauline. Yes, Pauline. Pauline
Eisner whom I met here at Kittay House, and we
have hit it off. I never thought that this would
happen to me at this stage of the game. A pleasant
Thanksgiving was enjoyed with family, and
December brought holiday parties with friends.”
The letter ended with Happy New Year to all.

At a recent lunch with Barry and Barbara
Boffemmyer Brown and Barbara Lamb Heller, the
lack of a correspondent and thus news of our
class for Dickinson Magazine was discussed. As a
result of that discussion, I volunteered to be the
correspondent, and now I am reaching out to all
of you to send me your news for inclusion in the
magazine. My time is spent doing a variety of
things—water aerobics, attending classes for seniors
at a local university, singing mostly sacred choral
music in two choirs, attending sports or music
events involving my granddaughters and daily dog
walks. Share your news with me and the rest of the
class, even though it may seem to you that what
you are doing is very ordinary. Contact me via the

Thanks to Pete and Ann for their submissions.
I know there are more of you with news that
classmates would be interested in, so please send it
along to me for the next issue.
For starters, I’m proud to report that our son, Tobias
Carroll, managing editor of Vol. 1 Brooklyn, a cultural
website, and a freelance writer for many publications,
including Rolling Stone, Men’s Journal, The Paris
Review, Tin House, The L Magazine, Flavorwire,
Capital New York, Minneapolis Star Tribune, Dusted,
LA Times/Jacket Copy, and the Los Angeles Review of
Books, recently had two books published: Transitory, a
collection of short fiction, and Reel, a novel.
Since retiring in 2006 from the investment
advisory firm he owned in partnership with his
son, John P. “Pete” Mazza has used his lifelong
interest in history and the American Civil War
in particular (the latter fueled by discussions
with history professor John Pflam) as a teacher at
the Lifetime Learning Center in Seattle. “While
continuing there I have also taught at South
Seattle, Shoreline’s Lake Forest Park Campus and
Edmonds Community College. Over the years, I
have broadened the scope of my early interest in
history to include courses in 20th century world
history and U.S. economic and financial history,”
writes Pete, adding that he has spoken at numerous
retirement communities in Seattle, King and Pierce
counties. In addition to his B.A. from Dickinson,
he received a Chartered Life Underwriter
designation from the American College (Bryn
Mawr, Pa.), an accredited adjunct institution of the
University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of
Business. He has been living in Seattle since 1966.
Ann Thompson Kern reports that she received a
Community Service Award from the Hawaii Loa
Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters
of the American Revolution for directing and
coordinating Kona Historical Society’s Hanohano
‘O Kona/Honoring Kona Lecture Series for the last
five years. She continues to teach at the University of
Hawaii Center-Palamanui and interpret local history
at Kona Historical Society’s H.N. Greenwell Store.

We are planning a mini-reunion in 2017, as a
follow up to our successful 50th. This one, that we
are calling “52.5,” is scheduled for Homecoming
Weekend, Oct. 6-8. We anticipate that it will be less
formal and more social than an official reunion.
Also, since it will take place while the college is
in session, we may have the opportunity to speak
with some current students and possibly sit in on a
class or two. We welcome suggestions from anyone
regarding other possible activities. Please check
your mailboxes in the coming weeks for more
detailed information, and save the dates if you can.
Carol will be keeping the list of those planning
to attend, and Larry will be sending out updates,
but don’t hesitate to write to either of us for more
information. Hope to see you at Homecoming!

Pilates and yoga. My daughter Marjorie Almstead

Marin Independent Journal in the 1990s as the health
reporter, where she covered the topic of the medical
use of marijuana. She later won the 2002 Marin

award for her work. She writes, “I have a growing
respect for the pharmacological powers of cannabis,
including its use for pain and nausea, anxiety,
Crohn’s disease, epileptic seizures and, in some

waiting to find their company’s new niche. Janet,
in her 30th year of teaching, oversees the school

writes, “I began as a teacher in 1973 at the
American Graded School in Sao Paulo, Brazil,
moving to the International School of Curitiba
(Brazil) in 1979 as head of school. Those first 11
years overseas were followed by six years as head
of school at the Uruguayan American School
in Montevideo, during which I completed my
doctorate at Virginia Tech. The family moved to the
U.S. in 1990, where I spent 10 years in Virginia,
serving initially as a middle school principal, then
assistant superintendent and director for research,
evaluation and accountability in Hampton. I
finished my stint in the U.S. as chief academic
officer for the Greenville County (S.C.) Schools.
After public education, I decided to go back to my
first love—international schools—and following
the second Gulf War, accepted a one-year interim
position as superintendent at the Universal
American School in Kuwait. I then served as head
of school at Cotopaxi Academy in Ecuador for eight
years and closed out my career as superintendent
returning to Brazil (Pan American School of Bahia)
for four years. Although no longer working full
time, I do continue as a consultant in the areas
of international school governance and resultsbased strategic planning. My service and research
have been recognized by the Association for the
Advancement of International Education, the
Association of American Schools in South America,
the Virginia Council on Learning Disabilities, the
Virginia Educational Research Association and
the Virginia Educational Technology Advisory
Committee, among others. I was also happy to
have the opportunity to catch up and work with
Bill Durden ’71 and Dickinson’s former director

I didn’t know what to write ... then today,
as frequently happens, several things came
together. Our little newspaper had nine
obituaries—one person my age, four older and
four younger. The day before I had been involved
in a conversation about how our bucket lists are
changing. (There’s one we could write about! Are
you completing yours or just altering it?) On the
radio, I caught a report compiling information
on what hospice patients say they most regret. In
the top seven was “Not keeping in touch with
friends from my past.” Don’t let that be one of
your regrets. Use this column to reconnect with
your Dickinson friends. If you want more indepth or frequent contact, we have several online
locations. Contact me at [email protected].
I have been encouraging everyone to write about
“Your Life Since Dickinson” and haven’t yet
done so myself. You will be receiving this about
the time I’m celebrating my 40th anniversary of
being an Arkansasan/Arkansasawyer. My location
surprises me as much as my career. I retired from
33 years of clerical work in nonprofit hospitals.
My first position at Fairbanks Memorial as they
were beginning to build the pipeline defined it
as “anything that doesn’t require a special license
or certification.” I continue to work with my
last hospital as a Pink Lady. You can view some
of what we do on the JRMC Auxiliary Facebook
page. My daughter and grandchildren are in
the Honolulu area. I don’t see them often, but I
am grateful for unlimited cell phone plans and
FaceTime. My son recently moved in with me,
after 16 years of active duty in the Army, while they
determine the percentage of his disability and he
uses his education benefits. I am working part
time, temporarily holding a position open for an
Army National Guard member who was activated. I
find I am really enjoying serving at the Clarksville
Aquatics Center. Engaging with the lifeguards and
swim team members (all under age 21) has given
me a new perspective on today’s youth. I enjoy
my life even though it is not at all what I planned
or for what I prepared. I was saved/born again in
1980. The Bible Belt does exist and is far more
loving than the media represents it. The living isn’t
easy, but it is worthwhile.

his wife, Nikki, and I attended a remembrance
service for Bill Cook at the Potomac School in
McLean, Va., where Bill had been on the faculty
and an administrator for many years. Bill was a
Theta Chi fraternity brother of ours. Probably about
500 people attended. His service at the school
was extolled by all. He was beloved there. The
diverse group of speakers at the service, all with
a connection to Bill and a strong appreciation of
what he gave the school, made me sad (because he
had passed) but also pleased that he had truly used
his Dickinson education to help others and make
quite a name for himself as a liberally educated role
model to many.” (See obituary, Page 55.)
Agnes Maderich writes, “Where do I stand in the
work timeline? Good question. I enjoy my work and
my hobbies. It’s difficult to consider retirement. It
may surprise my classmates that I, a fine arts
studio major, made a career change in the 1980s
to chemistry and pharmaceutical compliance. I’ve
been a pharmaceutical industry consultant for the
past eight years, working internationally for much
of this time. What a wonderful experience it is to
travel and work in different places. Most recently
I’m consulting in India, which I enjoy very much.”

to evacuate to Augusta, Ga., from Hilton Head

sustained a near direct hit. Upon return, they were
extremely grateful that their house was spared the

remember from prior updates that selling their
house in northern New Jersey, pulling up stakes
and moving down the coast was quite a process! We

Three members of the 1977 Dickinson tennis team
and their wives got together in Williamsburg, Va.,
for a mini reunion. Yes, there was tennis in spite of
some infirmities. But, there was more good wine,
food and conversation rekindling old friendships
in the setting of wonderful historic Williamsburg.
The group has enjoyed some family tennis and
beach vacations together over the long years since
graduation and plans to reunite again for the
40th reunion in Carlisle. Attendees included Fred
Kauffman, Wendy Wallenmeyer Kauffman, Dale
Zeigler, Diane Rosenwasser Skalak and Steve Skalak.

Philadelphia in November. Brothers attending
represented the classes of 1971-77. He wrote,
“Joe Hom ’74 organized and planned the entire
event which was held at the Imperial Inn in
Philadelphia’s Chinatown. Many brothers were
accompanied by their wives and significant others.”

Steve Skalak writes, “Reunions don’t have to wait
for the college! Five Dickinson classmates gathered
in October in South Florida for a 39-year reunion
and a warmup to the upcoming 40-year reunion
in Carlisle. Gathering at Thomas Logue’s home
in Coral Gables with his wife Sheila Sayin Logue
were housemates from senior year in Professor
Leon Fitt’s West Pomfret Street apartment, myself
and wife Diane Rosenwasser Skalak and Brian
Rosenfeld and wife Karen. The primary agenda
item was reconnecting with Brian and Karen, who
were visiting family in Florida from their longtime
and distant home in Seattle, Wash. Like good
Dickinsonians, we engaged the world around us
with a vigorous spirit of curiosity and debate via
the arts, architecture, history and cuisine of South
Florida. Wonderful weather and reconnecting with
wonderful friends made it a great mini-reunion. All
are committed to Carlisle for the 40th reunion of the
class of 1977 in June 2017.” See picture at left.

Twenty-five years. A quarter of a century.
Time has passed but we remain bound
together thanks to our time in Carlisle. On
behalf of the class of ’92 reunion committee,
we hope to see you back on campus this
June. Planning is in place and word on
the street is that a good number of our
classmates are returning. Jennifer Weissman
Edwards is coming all the way from England.

Over the course of 372 games and 218 victories,
Dave Webster ’88 , associate athletic director
and head men’s lacrosse coach, earned the
reputation of a leader whose commitment
took the team to new heights. Now he’s been
inducted into the Central Pennsylvania Chapter
of US Lacrosse Hall of Fame as part of its
inaugural class.
“I had a great experience playing [at Dickinson]
and loved it, and that certainly led me to pursue
it professionally,” says Webster.
Following graduation, Webster spent two years
coaching at a prep school before he moved on
to Marymount University, where he started a
lacrosse program and served as coach for seven
years. After spending three years at Franklin &
Marshall College, Webster returned to Dickinson
in 2001. During his fifth season as Dickinson’s
coach, Webster hit 100 career wins and became
the college’s all-time win leader shortly after.
Under his direction, the Red Devils made four
straight NCAA tournament appearances and
won three consecutive Centennial Conference
(CC) championships (2010-13). Members of
Webster’s lacrosse program frequently earn
All-CC and All-American honors, with some
even competing in the North-South All-Star
game and others earning Academic AllAmerican honors. And they see Webster as a
big factor in their success. On top of all of the
records Webster has helped set in his time at
Dickinson, his players have been recognized
for their commitment to service by both
the American Red Cross and the National
Association of Athletic Administrators.
“I see this as a recognition of the efforts of this
program—meaning myself and my assistants
and our players—to do great things with
this program, but also give a lot back,” says
Webster, who considers the Hall of Fame honor
a milestone that honors the entire team. “I think
it’s a neat recognition for everyone associated
with Dickinson lacrosse.” Read more at

bike with treaded tires and ride a 1.5-2 mile course
that consists of road, dirt, gravel, single track, trails,
grass and mud with various obstacles. It’s like
steeple-chase on bikes! The competition included

Wear the Red. The Dickinson College athletic
department has adopted this slogan to show
support for our current athletes. For members of
the class of 2007 who have worn red as varsity
athletes, this slogan is also meant to show solidarity
among all alumni who have donned Dickinson’s
colors. As a former member of the men’s tennis
team, I can appreciate the direction our new
athletic director is taking our beloved alma mater.
In 2015, Joe Giunta was named the director of
athletics and chair of physical education after Les
Poolman retired. Poolman was recently inducted
into the Dickinson Athletics Hall of Fame for his
tireless support of student-athletes. In Giunta’s
short tenure, the Kline Center now boasts a brand
new basketball/volleyball floor with our athletic
logo emblazed at midcourt. Dickinson has also
become an official Under Armour institution.
Many Division III institutions are choosing to
align with a specific athletic clothing brand, but
Dickinson is now strategically positioned to ensure
all teams have a consistent look. In addition to a
uniform appearance, the gear is technologically
efficient to maximize athletic performance.
Athletics continue to be a pivotal component for
