just received her Ph.D. in Scandinavian languages and literature from the University
of California at Berkeley. An Old Norse and folklore scholar, Merrill will become
an assistant professor, with a joint appointment in Germanic languages and English,
at Ohio State in the fall. Her mother, the late Nancy
Gelberg Kaplan ’67, would have been equally proud. My new wife

in upstate New York and are looking forward to the 40th reunion.”

residency training program and the spine surgery fellowship training program,

Moran writes, “I entered with the Class of ’69 but transferred
to Brandeis University after two years. I’ve been an editor and writer
living outside Boston ever since. I’m currently at BBN Technologies, and
I’m married with two college-age children. I’m still best of friends
with Alan Finder, Charles Cummings, and Martha
Morenstein, and I have occasional contact with Glenn
Yaffee ’70 and Karen Surman Paley, as
well as Laurie Modell Orlov ’73, Janet
Maslin ’70, Robert Kirschbaum ’70,
and Stan ’71 and
Harriet Kasloff Berman. Reconnecting with two of the more important influences
on my intellectual life, I recently have been corresponding with former English
professor Husain Haddawy, who retired to the Sea of Thailand, and I’ve
begun rereading Hayden White’s Emergence of Liberal Humanism.”
Our apologies to David, whose essay “Identity, Youths, and Crises,”
which was published in the book Without Reserve, was incorrectly credited
to David Moran ’51 in the spring issue.
