HARVARD COLLEGE Harrison Moore (1969, COL) Harrison Moore (1969, COL) writes, "Since our 25th reunion, my life has not followed the desired path of contentment. Since then, I have divorced, losing my daughter, my comfortable house in Wenham and a lot of alimony and child support. My psychology deteriorated causing business and more financial problems. About four years ago, the dismal situation hit bottom and has been moving slowly upward since. With hope, some self-esteem, humility and acceptance, I've climbed far out of the hole but not yet back to where I was. I have been fortunate to have the close support of friends including classmates Lindsay McManus, Boaz Shattan, Bert Johns and Kim Brown. With the support of others, I have developed a strong sense of gratitude and take renewed pleasure in my daily associations and in completing the simple requirements of life. " Submitted on Oct 21 2008 William Bushing (1969, COL) William Bushing (1969, COL) writes, "This year my work as a marine biologist, underwater videographer and dive bum has resulted in an article in DAN's Alert Diver magazine calling me the lowest paid Harvard graduate ever; appearances in two pieces on The Weather Channel; and a video on Bloomberg Financial News featuring interviews with old friend Jean-Michel Cousteau and myself on diving Catalina Island. My cable TV show "Dive Dry with Dr. Bill" now airs on Charter Communications Cable in SoCal. I have also produced seven DVD's on marine life. "Poor" but very happy and having lots of fun!" Submitted on Oct 25 2007 Richard Bodman (1969, COL) Richard Bodman (1969, COL) writes, "I retired from St. Olaf College in 2006, after twenty-five years of teaching Chinese language and literature and Asian Studies. In 2007, I led a group of US K-12 teachers to China in June and July for the National Committee on U.S. China Relations. In the fall of 2007, I will be teaching English at East China Normal University in Shanghai." Submitted on Jul 26 2007 William Bushing (1969, COL) William Bushing (1969, COL) writes, "Just a quick note to say my body, soul and home survived the massive fire that threatened the entire city of Avalon on Santa Catalina Island last week. Thanks for the concern expressed by classmates." Submitted on May 18 2007 William Bushing (1969, COL) William Bushing (1969, COL) writes, "Sixty approaching this coming year... twice as old as we expected to live (remember, you can't trust anyone over 30?). 2006 was a milestone year... did 305 dives this year alone, including a few dozen to 180-200 ft. Who says we're getting old? Happy New Year to my classmates and other alumns." Submitted on Dec 31 2006 William Bushing (1969, COL) William Bushing (1969, Harvard College) writes, "After four years of filming underwater, I've finally edited two educational DVD's for sale: "Munching & Mating in the Macrocystis" and "Great White Sharks of Guadalupe Island" I have 9 more videos in various stages of completion. At some point I hope to make at least enough to pay the mortgage!" Submitted on Aug 31 2005 RADCLIFFE COLLEGE Barbara Ogur (1969, RAD) Barbara Ogur (1969, RAD) writes, "40 years out finds me now in my 22nd year of living and working within a 2 mile radius of Harvard Yard. I continue to practice general internal medicine in a community health center affiliated with the Cambridge Health Alliance and Harvard Medical School. Despite the market assaults on the profession, I still find the practice of medicine intense and rewarding. Over the past 5 years, I've joined with several wonderful colleagues to design and implement a new way of training medical students by immersing them for a year in the longitudinal care of patients. I have found it interesting, sometimes humbling, but always inspiring to work closely with such smart, idealistic and energetic young people. On a personal level, my husband, Michael Altman, continues to be a most wonderful companion, who always supports me even when he is relentlessly nudging me. Our partially blended family of children have almost all married off and are all pursuing careers which seem to me perilously close to Wall Street and Madison Avenue. Hopefully they will somehow find their unique ways to carry forward the torch to make the world a better place. " Submitted on Oct 6 2008 Joanna Hirst (1969, RAD) Joanna (Seltzer) Hirst (1969, RAD) writes, " Since leaving the commercial real estate development field 12 years ago, I've acquired a Master's in Social Work, working first in the DC suburbs and then moving to San Diego. I really love my work as a program manager for two departments at the city's largest homeless shelter, serving close to a thousand adults and children. If you are ever in San Diego, I'd love to give you a tour of Father Joe's Village, which really give people a new start in life. I moved to SD to escape the ice and snow of DC and also to be a block away from my son and daughter-in-law - they invited ME, and know good boundaries. They are both doctors. I play a lot of tennis, am trying to improve my bridge game, founded a Book Group with classmate Janet Ambrocez, and have just begun to co-chair a Harvard Discussion Forum for the local Harvard Club. My daughter lives in Nicaragua. She and her boyfriend are starting work with a rehab facility for former glue-sniffing boys from the streets, with art therapy, performance art, and emotional support. Life is full. " Submitted on Oct 20 2007
