All the Roads Taken: Class of 1971 All the Roads Taken Class of 1971 50th Reunion Yearbook Supplement Middlebury College June 2021 Class of ’71 2 SUPPLEMENT Class of ’71 With the official canceling of our on-campus Reunion in June, the Reunion Committee felt it was important to try to get as many of our classmates as possible to submit bios to the Yearbook by way of a Supplement. After sending out the Yearbook earlier this year, it had already prompted some of our classmates to submit bios in the hope we would find a way to include them. As a result, we have some new bios, but unfortunately, we also have new “In Memoriam” to add. In addition to the bios and memoriams, we have added an article on the Woodstock experience and some MiddMoments. We hope this Supplement and the Yearbook will provide you with some connection to our class that we would have shared in person. The College is trying to find a time when the reunions canceled due to COVID-19 (1970 and 1971) will be able to have in-person gatherings. We are planning some virtual events in June during the Reunion at Home dates (June 7–13), that we hope you will participate in and enjoy. Until then, enjoy the stories and the memories of even more “roads taken”! Gay Mann Folland Peter Wood 1971 Yearbook Co-chairs When Tom Rush was on campus, before his concert, he got a kick out of watching and playing with the dog catching a Frisbee. He even mentioned it at the concert—so it is tied back to our time at Middlebury. 3 Class of ’71 MIDDMOMENTS An addition I remember a time when there was a bagpiper playing as we walked to the SDU buildings for dinner.

Jefferson Street, Lexington, VA 24450 c. 202-904-5927 | [email protected] ’71 So, clearly, I missed the deadline for the yearbook! It’s been a particularly busy year, with a slightly uninten- tional relocation from DC to the Shenandoah Valley during the pandemic, but I’ll try to catch you up on what preceded that. After graduation from Middlebury, I did a master’s in English at UVa, where I paid in-state tuition as a Virginia resident, but that’s the best thing I can say about that year. I finished as quickly as I could, and then took a teaching job in Manches- ter, NH, at a small independent high school where I was generously taught by my colleagues how to be a teacher (and generously supported by my students which faced huge challenges. He often told stories of who knew that I didn’t know what I was doing). coming to court with his notes on legal pads which In short, I fell in love with teaching—especially he had brought from home, and then facing a bank with high school teaching where students are so full of law-firm lawyers with paper, pens, and assistants of life, courage, and openness to new ideas.

  • Richard Louth
    NEW ORLEANS IN WORDS Richard Louth Every summer since 2001, the Southeastern Louisiana Writing Project (SLWP), a National Writing Project site housed at Southeastern Louisiana University, has been hosting “writing marathons” in New Orleans where writers spend from one to three days eating, drinking, and writing their way across the city. Writers traditionally gather at Le Richelieu Hotel for a brief introduction, and then depart in small groups to experience the city as writers. The writing marathon embodies the concepts of freedom, discovery, and community: writers may write whatever they wish and wander wherever they want with whomever they choose as partners. The only restriction is that after individuals write for a period of time (usually 10-15 minutes), they share their writing with their small group (3-4 others) by reading it aloud while members of the group reply with a simple “thank you.” No criticism is allowed. After everyone in the group writes and shares their writing in a particular spot such as a pub or coffeehouse, they enjoy refreshments, talk a bit, and then move on to another spot to write, read aloud, eat, drink, and socialize again. The focus is on writers enjoying themselves by having time to write in good company. The power of the writing marathon is in its ability to free writers by allowing them to write intensively, without criticism, in a variety of new and familiar places with a community of new and familiar companions. While it thrives upon spontaneity and serendipity, there is a cumulative effect over the course of a day as writers in each small group observe their surroundings, delve deep within themselves, and share their writings and their company with each other.

Forget about the vibe; vibes come and go. The effects of the brown acid have finally worn off. Peace and love? A noble, albeit archaic, concept. They even managed to get traffic moving on the New York State Thruway again— though just barely. Yet for all the event’s remnants eroded by time, Woodstock remains the cynosure of a generation with a conflicted identity. A great many hippies morphed into a species that swapped their bellbot- toms for a Prada suit, their VW vans for a BMW SUV, and spare change for a 401(k). Others craving more civil liberties became libertarians, while those prophesying free love wound up prostrate, in divorce court. Who of us vow- ing to share the land ever suspected we’d land a jumbo mortgage? Or vote for a guy who pledged to end welfare (well, maybe not him)? In any case, a lot of screwy stuff has come down the pike. Boomers persist in embracing Woodstock as a warm, fuzzy keepsake; a special moment from their past that continues to burn in their loins like a first love. There is ample justification for it. Woodstock sets them apart from earlier generations that followed a narrow, buttoned- down script for their lives.

  • BOLD CHOICES “May Your Choices Reflect Your Hopes and Not Your Fears.” - Nelson Mandela
    IFEA PRESIDENT’S LETTER BY STEVEN WOOD SCHMADER, CFEE BOLD CHOICES “May your choices reflect your hopes and not your fears.” - Nelson Mandela ’d like to start this article by remembering our friends and professional colleagues with the Gilroy Garlic Festival. Execu- tive Director of the festival, Brian Bowe, sent his appreciation to all of us in the IFEA family for our thoughts and support in Ithe wake of the tragic mass shooting at his event on July 28th. And while it has only been 3 1/2 months since that horrible occurrence, the number of additional shootings and tragedies, at other soft-target venues and locations, since that time, can make it feel like an eternity has passed. But to so quickly allow ourselves and others to become accepting of that, as an almost expected and natural occurrence, while waiting for the next unthinkable headline, is unacceptable. We continued to hold multiple sessions at this year’s IFEA Convention, which is also becoming almost the norm each year, to address what we may all do to protect our events and our stakeholders moving forward; and while we will ask everyone in our industry to continue working closely with your law enforcement officials, insurance carriers, professional peers and city management to take every step possible to protect against future tragedies, please remember to let your government and political representatives – at at every level - know that this is unacceptable and that we expect them to take common-sense action to help stem, slow and stop this long-running and expanding pattern that runs in direct conflict with what our events are created to do – to provide safe, welcoming and inclusive participation by all attendees, while celebrating who we are when we are at our best.
