I had a right total knee arthroplasty in January 2014 and a left total knee arthroplasty in September 2014 with quick recovery. Golf is good; the gospel is better. I continue to teach an adult Bible study at my church. Traveling a lot in Europe including France where I practice my rudimentary French that reminds me of my first encounter with Montclair Academy. I was required to take an oral proficiency test in French administered by Instructor Carmen Marnel, whom I later learned was also the football and basketball coach. I failed miserably and was required to take first year French. However, I was less disappointing to Coach Marnel on the football field and basketball court although he did call me “uncoachable” at one point. (I was an undisciplined, headstrong rebel without a clue in my youth.) We never did beat Newark Academy in football, but we beat them several times in basketball and we were the state basketball champs in the 1964–65 Prep School Division and made it to the finals the following year. What I remember most about Coach Marnel was his calm, deliberate manner, always in control and never losing his temper. He never shouted or berated his players and as a result of his demeanor, he was able to ease the tension in his athletes to allow them to perform to the best of their athletic ability. Coach Marnel was a force to be reckoned with, and he demanded your complete and total attention that he invariably received. He had true “gravitas” before the word ever entered the American lexicon. Next to my Dad, he was the greatest role model in my life. Thanks Coach! Peter Orgain writes: I have lived in Vermont for 45 years with my wife, Carol. We met when I was

My career was having my own design and build company for 12 years; then I spent the next 33 years as a business consultant for workplace HR issues (personalities, behavioral styles, conflict resolution, etc.) I have been retired for four years.

David Fox ’99 and Lynn Erhardt Gildea ’69
Congratulations to the family of the late Barbara Fox McWilliams who celebrated the wedding of her daughter Mary on Saturday, August 29, 2015, in Pinehurst, NC. David Fox ’99, cousin of the bride, and Barbara’s former classmate Lynn Ehrhardt Gildea, were both in attendance. A special thanks to Lynn for providing the photo. “Life is good,” says Nina Szot Boral. She and Andrew have been married for 41 years and have four grandchildren. Nina retired after 25 years as a medical office director and is now “obsessed” with researching and investing in equities. Andrew is pondering retirement from his profession as a cardio thoracic anesthesiologist at Hackensack University. They enjoy their Rutherford home and their New York apartment, close to music and theater. Nina and Lynn Erhardt Gildea sometimes meet for lunch. Lynn and Chip have lots of fun with their four grandchildren, ages 3, 5 and 10. They spend two months in Jupiter, FL, commuting back and forth for work. Last spring, Phyllis LaTouche Rawlins and Jim visited for two days on their way home from the Keys. Lynn also provided a photograph from the wedding of Barbara Fox McWilliams’ daughter. Ellen Hare writes, “this heretofore seldom traveler happened into two great vacations in a row: first, my nephew’s wedding in Coral Gables, FL—crazy extravagant elegant FUN festivities at The Biltmore— cousins galore—son Liam had a ball—followed by a week in Taos with Frank.” Ellen also reconnected with Marilyn Cowing Dulin in Ocean City, MD. “Awesome!” says
