CLASS NOTES
Michael Hausig Bob Soltys spent time after graduation in the Navy including a tour in Vietnam as part of his NROTC commitment. He then worked for IBM for 28 years, retiring in 1992. He now works part-time for Drake Beam Morin, an outplacement firm, and lives in Northern Virginia. Bob is an avid follower of the Olympics, both summer and winter games, and has attended many of the competitions, including the Sydney and Salt Lake City events. He has accumulated more than 5,000 Olympic pins. Bob’s family information is locked up in my computer at the present time, a technology glitch that I hope will be resolved by the next issue. Sadly, I learned that Tony Radano passed away in August 2001. Tony lived in Philadelphia and worked in the family funeral home business. The Philadelphia New Year’s Day Mummers parade will not be the same without him.

Sidney P. Kadish This fall, your humble correspondent had the great pleasure of escorting daughter Emily to campus for Orientation for the Class of 2006. In this I was not alone, for there were two other members of the Class of 1963 who dropped off first-years: Michael Dilorenzo, who brought his son, James, from New London, N.H., and Nicholas Zill, who brought his son, Nicholas, from Washington, D.C. The list of legacy students included one from the Class of 1959, so none of us “war babies” need to feel particularly old. David Alpern has taken advantage of a company-wide early retirement program with a contract to continue producing and co-hosting Newsweek on Air, the magazine’s weekend radio hour. The program, now 20 years old, is still assisted by an intern pool of Columbia undergrads, including Andy Glassberg’s daughter. Conrad Kottak’s son, Nicholas ’93, received a Ph.D. in anthropology from Emory in May. While Conrad continues to chair his department at Michigan, he is really interested in his grandchildren Lucas (3), and Elena (five months). Aaron Malakoff finds being the medical director of Hope Hospice of New Braunfels, Texas, a very satisfying endeavor. Finally, Richard Wells retired from careers in law, government and business last year, and is working full-time-plus as a paramedic on the streets of Manhattan and the Bronx. I look forward to more news from the members of the class. Please
note my new e-mail address above.
Norman Olch Bob Resnikoff’s daughter Amanda is a member of the Class of 2006. Condolences to Ivan Weissman on the death of his father. It has been solemn here in New York on the anniversary of September
11. Cheer us up. Send me news so I can fill up the next column.
Leonard B. Pack Mike Cook’s major accomplishment in the last year: “Taught my 5 1–2-year-old son how to ride a bicycle. Still working with my 4 1–2-year-old.” Andy Fisher is still at CNBC in Fort Lee, N.J., and working with quite a lineup of Columbians; news editor Phelps Hawkins ’75, field producer Wally Griffith ’84 and Shawn Bender ’86 of the TV desk of The Wall Street Journal. Others Columbians, according to Andy, include Vice President and Executive Producer David Friend ’77, Jennet Chin of Barnard, Rebecca White of Journalism and Sharon Eperson of SIPA. It’s good to know that Columbians are everywhere. Joe Nalven left for San Diego more than 30 years ago, and is still there. Occasionally, he “puts on my lawyer hat, sometimes my anthropologist hat, but my true joy is going without a hat and doing digital art. All are welcome to visit and sample my micro-mini-movie — popcorn not needed: www.digitalartist1.com.” Daniel Williams lives in Great Neck, N.Y., and is a clinical professor of psychiatry at P&S. His son, Harel (19), has completed his first year at MIT, and his son, Marc (17), entered with the Class of 2006. As always, please keep the news coming.
