George Grella: Now happily retired after a long career at the University of Rochester as a professor of English and Film Studies. I have published thousands of reviews, essays, and articles in a variety of publications. A widower since 2012, I enjoy my solitude; I have three children and six grandchildren, all of whom now live in various parts of New York State.
Brent Scudder: I am executing my bucket list of chasing storms in the Midwest for the fourth season. Have yet to see a tornado, so driving is the biggest hazard. But I have seen some wicked looking clouds and some incredible lightning displays. I have run across many other storm chasers. So we do help the hotel and restaurant economy of the Midwest.
Richard Schori: After Kenyon, I attended the University of Iowa for a MS and a Ph.D. in mathematics. I had a career as a university mathematics professor where my main two employers were LSU and Oregon State with several one year jobs at other major state universities on sabbatical leaves and what not. I had a successful career in publishing research papers in the general area of topology. I retired from Oregon State in 2001 when my wife Katharine was elected bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Nevada and we moved to Henderson, NV. In 2006 she was elected Presiding Bishop for the standard 9 year term. I traveled with her selectively around this country and the world on her church related trips and I kept busy as a photographer. The 9 year term ended in 2015 and we have largely been retired since then. We have a daughter, Kate, who spent ten years as an Air Force pilot and now lives with her husband and our three grandchildren in Corvallis, OR. My wife Katharine and I moved from Henderson, NV, to Reno, NV, in 2016 to still enjoy Nevada but to be closer to Oregon. We enjoy good health although I have had to recover from major back surgery in May of 2020. We enjoy driving our Teslas and our cabin in Oregon and other trips in this country. I now have a substitute teaching license and will see if a bit of that can fit into my life-style.
David McCoy: Not being able to travel, I have been doing some more reading. Latest: Barak Obama's A Promised Land and Cicely Tyson's autobiography, Just As I Am. Also enjoying weekly Zoom meetings with families: Steve McCoy ’87, and Beth Hansel '89, as well as granddaughter Caitelin McCoy ’17. Also get out and walk a mile or so every day.
Bob Heasley: Hello members of the Class of 1960. Well, we, as probably most of you spent the last 12 months in isolation, purgatory, or, in our own private lock down at Gulag Kendal. (Kendal Granville is a CCRC). We even looked forward to the various events that were cancelled or modified; golf tournaments, graduations, celebrations of one kind or another. We finally realized that we were genuinely looking to and joyfully anticipating those Doctor, Dentist, Dermatologist, and other bodily invasive appointments every three or four months. Just to get out of this place. Whew!
We eventually set up a virtual Pub here at Kendal. Usually six or eight of us were on Zoom every day. (Oh - Virtual Pub - the wine and other lubrications were genuine). That kept us in touch with other folks and let us know what’s going on. Of course we Zoomed and Face Timed family regularly.
And now we have our two shot regimen of the COVID vaccine and we’re pretty ready to go - - somewhere. We’ll still be cautious about how we deal with the outer world. First destination is Nashville for a granddaughter’s wedding in April. After that who knows. Best wishes to all.
David Gury: With the promises of a vaccine, a way forward from the pandemic is real. There still are things to be done to return to some kind of normal that we knew before the pandemic. I am looking forward to the Zoom Reunion for our class May 28 from 2 to 4. Kenyon continues to provide leadership in education with the liberal arts that we all enjoyed in our time in Gambier. Looking forward to seeing everyone at our Zoom Reunion.
