52 | THE COMMON ROOM
“We took the plunge to consider life out of New York State for part of the year and bought a house in Durham, NC—near many of our daughters. Cynthia continues to develop our property in Costa Rica; we have a small house under construction there. Last summer I finished the Northville Lake Placid Trail; this summer I am going to start the Camino de Santiago in France and Spain. We both still work and continue to add to the nation’s treasury.”—George Lee “Our twins live nearby: our son in Newton, MA, and our daughter in Marblehead, MA. We have four grandchildren. I have been working at my old company, JC Cannistraro, LLC, this past year part-time. Suzanne and I spent six months last fall and winter in South America, Central America, and Mexico. Although we are only getting to Florida and Mexico for the next five months, we hope to see New Zealand and Australia next year, and perhaps China and India to follow. Hello to all members of the Class of 1967! We wish you all the best of health.” —William Lyons “I retired from the Town of Wakefield after 35 years in various capacities. Two children, Amanda, 21, just graduated from Quinnipiac University with a degree in nursing; she’s now an RN at Cambridge Health Alliance. Son, Michael, 18, just graduated from Wakefield Memorial High School and is now attending Minutemen Technical Institute. Wife, Margaret, is director of Quality Assurance and Risk Management at Mt. Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, MA.”—Mike Martello “After eight years as editor of the Washington Examiner, I spent a year collaborating on three books and serving as a contributing editor to National Geographic and Smithsonian Journeys. But I missed the day-to-day journalistic combat, and recently signed on as editor in chief of National Journal.”—Stephen Smith
