Florence (Bergt) Schick is just like a Mountie, i.e., she always gets her man (pc: person). With unwavering determination she tracked down Tom Birkenhead by dialing every Birkenhead in the phone book. When asked how she withstood the strain, Florence said "I acquired a steady hand and nerves of steel by watching 'Dialing for Dollars' on television." Florence called 15 Birkenheads before she finally tracked down Tom's mother in Hawaii. It seems that Brother Tom has tuned in, set aside the rat race, and is touring Europe in a mobile home. Life is tough! Grace (Ting) Griffin who's traveling to Europe and Dave Sassoon who lives there are going to try and meet up with him.

Remember Dr. Frederick Harris? And well you should! He isn't exactly an alumnus but he was the BIG BOSS. Our former headmaster is now almost 90 years old.  His daughter Judy (Harris) Garbutt (1962)  says that he is looking forward to the 100th reunion in Tokyo in 2002.

Rumors are that Gerrie Wheeler is associated with a Zen Center in Toronto and is now called Ariana Florence. We can probably all use a little inner peace.

Dave Bergt (1960) did some detective work and learned that Mr. Spooner was a retired faculty member of the Ethical Culture Fieldston School in New York and that he died in May of 1998. Many of us remember Mr. Spooner as a hard-nosed teacher, but most of us who attended his classes also learned. See Spooner remembrance in Senior Year Story.
