1982

Happy New Year 2005! In York, Pennsylvania (the White Rose City), we rang in the New' Year ala Times Square but with a falling white rose. In nearby Red Lion it's a cigar, in Lititz, a pretzel, and in Dillsburg, a pickle. Those crazy central Pennsylvanians. What dropped, if anything, in your hometown? After a successful career in the magazine and newspaper publishing business in Seattle and Boston, Jamie Trowbridge joined Yankee Publishing as the production director in 1988. He was named president of Yankee Publishing in November 1999. Yankee Publishing is one of the few independent magazine publishers of any size left in America and is best known for Yankee Magazine and The OldFarmer's Almanac, with headquarters in Dublin, New Hampshire, and a sales and marketing office at the Yankee Publishing Building, located at 33 Union St. in Boston. As a grandson of the founder, Jamie is striving to keep Yankee Pub- lishing a healthy and independent family-owned business. Jamie lives in Peterborough, New Hampshire, with his wife, Laura, and four children. So, Jamie, what's the Almanac say for Winter Carnival snow? Inspired by the article "Googling David" in the last DAM, I googled a few of our classmates and found Warren Allmon. Warren has been the director of the Paleontological Research Institution and adjunct professor in earth and atmospheric sciences at Cornell since 1992. He received the American Geological Institutes 2004 award for "Outstanding Contribution to Public Understanding of the Geosciences" and oversaw the opening of the new and highly successful $10 million public exhibit—"Museum of the Earth"—in 2003. Fellow Rox majors remember Warren as a triple major who could sketch a brachiopod like DaVinci. His wife, Jennifer, is a venture capitalist in Ithaca and the Allmons have one child, "shaped like a black lab." Jay Miller was named CEO of the Year in the medical imaging industry. Jay is president and CEO of Vital Images, a leading provider of visualization software for use in clinical diagnosis, disease screening and therapy planning. Someday I may need all that. Great news items from Betsy Kingsbury Dowd, and I vote to make her an adjunct class secretary. She writes that Rolan Young is an attorney in New Haven and teaches a class or two at Yale. Angela Santini is an orthopedic surgeon outside of D.C. and she and her husband welcomed their first, a baby girl, into the world last year. Betsy switched careers from scientist/engineer to lawyer. Six children—including three, Kyle and twins Michael and Matthew, born during law school—make life an adventure for Betsy and husband Eddie. Eddie is retired from the NYPD, the subject of numerous books describing his high-profile homicide cases, and is in the process of writing his own. After reading her schedule with the six kids, I will cease to complain about the schedule of my little family of four. Matt Yee sends an aloha from behind the piano on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship headed to Cozumel. Go to mattyee.com for info about ordering his CDs.
