My wife has a graduate degree in exercise science so she serves as my inspiration and exercise partner.

1963 - 1964 - Bruce Callahan, updated 11/24/09, Email: - arcadie@metrocast.net, I graduated from Stowe in 1964 and bounced around various colleges and universities, including the University of Colorado and Belknap College, did a stint in the USAF, before finally finishing up the Bachelor of Architecture program at the University of Minnesota School of Architecture in 1981. I've done various things since, sold boats for a living, been a professional ski instructor, and worked in the architectural profession. Currently I work for
a small architectural firm in New Hampshire's Lakes Region and live in Meredith New Hampshire with my wife Katie and 10 yr old son Finn.

1963 - 1965 - Geoffrey Oliver, Email: kachoga@hotmail.com , Attended New York University with Michael Reed. Landed in the lower east side before the hippies. Graduate school at NYU. Worked in Museum of Natural History, NYC while in graduate school at night. Flopped around until I discovered Japanese woodblock prints and have specialized in them ever since. I keep thinking I will run into a S.P.S. person, someday but haven't, yet. S.P.S. saved my life, didn't know it at the time. Some of the teachers there were best I ever had. Mr. Handy should probably get credit for that. I still think about them, especially Dr. Naryshkin and his wife.

1963-1965 - Mark Harvey, Email: markharvey@xplornet.com , My name is Mark Harvey. I am one of a few Canadians who attended Stowe in the mid sixties. I am married with two grown girls. I worked for Nabisco for some 25 years and Kraft for several. I would love to hear from some of my past "preppies". My wife and I have recently move to a rural setting about 50 miles west on Edmonton Alberta, Canada. I am semi-retired but still very active with community events and general odd jobs. We built our home over the past two years and are still working on the "tough-ups" and landscaping. We would be please to see anyone who may plan a trip to Alaska ... you'll drive right by us.
Regards, Mark

You know those beautiful kitchens and baths you see in mags - we do those...very satisfying. My wife: Liew Kim Lan is from Malaysia and is the most amazing person I know. Extreme gourmet cook and Master gardener and computer savvy.

1964 - 1966 - Don Turner (Tuna), Email: joraddon@sbcglobal.net , I graduated from Stowe in 1966 and went on to Wilkes University in PA and finished at North Eastern in Boston. I met my wife Kathi in 1971 in Florida while operating a restaurant that I opened in the Orlando area. We moved to Santa Barbara, CA in 1973 where I founded and developed a small chain of restaurants with two partners. We ended up with 22 restaurants from San Diego to Reno. In 1984 I sold that company and moved to Napa, CA where I have lived for the past 21 years. I own and operate a small consulting firm, Jorad & Company (named after my children Jordan and Adam) that specializes in business development, business recovery consulting, venture capital development and tax and creditor consulting. We also do general accounting and payroll processing. Additionally, I own two small hotels in Northern California. We spend our free time traveling, skiing, playing golf and boating. I am a twelve year cancer survivor and although I still enjoy my business endeavors, I have been steadily reducing my business commitments and focusing my energies on my family and recreational interests for the past few years. Kathi and I hope to be in Stowe for the reunion this August and look forward to being in touch with old friends that I haven't see or heard from in almost forty years. -- Over the years I have bumped into Ed Gauer who attended SPS in 1965 and Mike Ouellet, who I discovered also lives in Napa after twenty years of bumping into each other and not recognizing one another. I would love to hear from Andy Niss, David Lesnow, John Keiley, Rich Armstrong, Tim Korzon, Chris Thiele or Terry Taplan. Its been good emailing John DeRonde from time to time and catching up. Is Jack Handy still alive? What ever happened to Robin Smith, Art Williams, Jeff Baldwin and Peter Coburn? Is anyone in touch with these people?

1965 - 1967 - John De Ronde, Email: jderonde@bellsouth.net , After graduation from Stowe Prep I went off to college in Iowa. Taking a break from college I moved back to Rutland Vermont where I meet my wife, Cheryl. Following our marriage I returned to Iowa to finish school. In 1970 we moved to Miami where I was a manager for a major food store chain. In 1982 I entered into Insurance sales, eventually having my own agency which I sold in 1997. Since then, I guess you could say, I've been retired. My wife and I have split our time between Miami and our home on an island in the Caribbean, Margarita. During our spare time, of which there never seems to be enough, we travel, both for our own pleasure and to visit our two married daughters, one of which lives in Vermont, giving us reason to travel that way periodically. As for hobbies and/or interests we both are involved in Genealogical Research (sometimes for $$) and I run a small Purchasing business for Latin American clients. I keep in touch with a limited number of Stowe alumni, mostly from the 60's.

1965 - 1968 - Pat Toensmeier, E-mail:Ptoensmeie@aol.com, I graduated -- eventually (1976) -- from the University of Missouri, where I majored in English. I spent a few years looking for a job in magazine publishing. I got a break and started at a Hearst Corp. business tabloid in New York City in 1981. I moved on to a monthly magazine called Modern Plastics in 1986, which was then published by McGraw-Hill. I was there for 17 years, eight of which as editor-in-chief. In May 2003 the magazine, which McGraw-Hill sold in 1999, was sold again and my job was eliminated. I'm currently doing free-lance work but expect to be back among the gainfully employed soon. One benefit of working for Modern Plastics was the opportunity to travel throughout the U.S., to Europe, and to South America and Asia on business. I also ran into an old friend from the class of 1968, Pete Hawk, who then as now was working in the plastics industry. We ran into each other in 1998 in Cobo Auditorium in Detroit at a plastics show. I recognized him right away. At least some of us have aged gracefully. As for my personal life, I live in the town where I grew up -- it wasn't planned, it just happened. I'm not married but have a girlfriend and a house; no pets but a motorcycle (Harley-Davidson); and I lead a quiet though interesting (at times) life. I've been in touch with a few friends from Stowe, but would love to hear from others. I go to Stowe every few years and enjoy it. It's a shame the school closed, but my memories are good and remain vivid.

1966 - 1968 - Steve Koplan, E-Mail: skoplan@gpc.edu, In 1972 I graduated from Windham College with a degree in English. I then moved to Atlanta where I attended the Emory University Division of Librarianship and received a masters in 1973. Following graduation from Emory I spent 25 years as a librarian at the Georgia Mental Health Institute, a research and training institution in mental health which also served as a regional hospital until it closed in 1998. In 1988, I received a Ph.D. in education from Georgia State University. Since 1999, I've been a librarian and (since 2000) and Assistant Professor at Georgia Perimeter College, which is a 2-year unit of the 37-member University System of Georgia. In the next academic year we plan to start a program which would offer an Associate of Applied Arts degree for students interested in becoming Library Assistants as well as those already in the field. (no, it won't make them librarians, that requires a masters). As I find myself mentoring college students, it brings back memories of Stowe and all the faculty who shaped my future life. I only hope I influence my students as positively as they did for me. - Doug Bennett lives in York, ME. Jim Warburton teaches at Georgia State University in Atlanta. For many years he was a faculty member at Oxford College of Emory University ( a 2-year division of Emory). Jim taught (and teaches) Spanish, as he did at Stowe.
