1966
Debra Newmark Chwast writes, “I was divorced
in 2003, went to Dubai, and rode camels. I produced a DVD about my autistic
21-year-old son creating a painting of a red horse that was screened at the
Ohio Independent Film Festival last year. I study five hours a week by telephone
with a Kabbalist in Israel. I talk with Anne Mitchell
Hawkins ’67, ’78 (PhD), my best friend, every week. I am
very happy.” . . . Julie Wilson Rothschild
writes, “For the past 36 years, I have made my home in New Mexico. A few
years ago I met the mother of a lovely young woman my son was dating, and I
felt an immediate connection with her. Sue Jacobson Kutz
’65 and I have seen our kids marry and begin a family together, and all
along I have felt very comfortable with her, even though our lives are quite
different. I am a small-town person, a hiker, and a weaver, and Sue is a very
successful clinical psychologist married to a well-known Israeli psychiatrist,
living most of the time in Tel Aviv. How then to explain this connection with
someone from a different world? It turns out we both graduated from Rochester!
I don’t think our paths crossed at the time, since she was married to
a graduate student and was a member of the Class of 1965. We are good friends
now and have even more in common—our darling granddaughter, Revely Joy
Rothschild. My husband, Henry (‘Saki’), who received his R.N. degree
from Santa Fe Community College a few years ago, and I have two sons, both musicians;
two daughters-in-law, both artistic; and another grandchild on the way. We live
in Santa Fe for part of the year and in the mountains near Lake City, Colo.,
for the other part.”

Orth was named associate dean for faculty at Temple University School

has a research program in reproductive biology, and is first-year coordinator
for the medical school curriculum. She and her husband, J. Clifford Schultz,
breed champion Scottish terriers under the name “Glengala.” She
writes, “We look forward to a new brood of puppies sired by CH Motherwell’s
Alberta Clipper (Clinton), papa to the newest White House Scottie addition,
Miss Beasley.” . . . Dace Viceps Madore
is one of three scientists to receive the Discoverers Award from the Pharmaceutical
Research and Manufacturers of America for the development of the pneumococcal
vaccine Prevnar. While working for Wyeth in Rochester, Dace led a team of scientists
in assessing the immune potency of the vaccine in clinical trials. Prevnar is
