Congratulations to Charles Neff, who published a new thriller, Hard Cache, set in the Central Cascades. He’s been keeping busy with author readings and signing events and if you are lucky enough you may also catch him playing music on his cornet, accompanied by a jazz pianist, before his readings.
1952 • John Kinzer’s grandson, Cole Herbkersman, is a freshman at Webb this year. 1954 • Paul Reitler will be the new Chairman of the Board of Trustees for The Webb Schools, effective July 1, 2011. 1956 • Ted Harwood wrote: “I had dinner with Dick Stoker in mid August at Loch Ober’s in Boston, with my partner Alice accompanying me. We had a great exchange of conversation over a bottle of California Pinot Noir. Dick was about to leave on a cruise up the eastern coastline with the intellectuals of the Weekly Standard magazine. I hope I remembered to tell him that he was in the best possible company.” Bob Koster lectures on the history of cinema, radio and TV at CSU Channel Islands. He writes, “Just think – I get paid to watch Sid Caesar and Jackie Gleason! And after all these years I finally learned how to adjust the color and contrast. My son, Kevin, followed me into the biz, and now works on Private Practice. Elder son, Chris, works at UCLA Medical Center managing a lab, and during off hours is a composer and performer at local nightclubs. Not being half so talented, I listen and tap my feet, sometimes in time to the music. Thank goodness for Gordon Wilson and the Classical Music Club at Webb, where I learned to tap my feet properly. Greetings to the rest of the 1956 Gauls from sunny Camarillo, CA.”
1957 • Joe Nakhosteen is now retired and living back in the US. After graduating from Harvard, he worked as an investment banker for Chase Bank in Singapore and throughout southeast Asia. After spending time in India, Hong Kong and Iran, Joe returned to the US in May 2009 and is now enjoying life in Boston. He purchased an apartment on the Harvard campus, which allows him to enjoy college amenities, such as the Faculty Club and even classes. Joe recently enjoyed dinner with Les Epstein ’56, and he hopes to visit Webb in the coming year.
While at Webb, Arthur “Bill” Bailey ’55
59
was an avid peccary man and the chief photographer of the El Espejo yearbook, taking almost all of its pictures. One of these photographs is currently displayed in the top floor of the museum. Before graduating from Webb, Ray Alf asked Bill to donate his favorite peccary trip pictures. As a thank you for his generosity, Ray named the Arthur E. Bailey Award in Biology after him. Bill has also won several awards for his work including the People’s Choice Award from the Oregon State Fair committee. Bill lives in Portland, OR, and uses a Nikon D300 to take most of his pictures.
1958 • Chuck Work and his wife, Roni, had a busy 2010. They celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary and Chuck’s decade birthday. They hosted their first open house last summer at their home overlooking the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland for 90-plus new neighbors, then celebrated with their new friends again at Christmas. They played golf on the Algarve, took a 2-week cruise from Lisbon to Rome, enjoyed several weeks of snow and cold avoidance in the Turks and Caicos, then had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family in San Francisco.
