1950s

Elliott Adelman, BA’51, of Montebello, California, writes, “Fourteen years into retirement, I am into two new activities. As an Elderhostel ambassador, I give talks and spread the word about this great worldwide educational and recreational program for seniors. And, since November, I have been teaching AARP’s Mature Driver Course (formerly called 55 Alive).” He notes that Elderhostel information is available from him by e-mail at joanelliott2@earthlink.net or at the website www.elderhostel.org.

Edmund B. Bowen, LC’57, BA’59, of Mashpee, Massachusetts, writes, “I retired from Raytheon in 1992 after thirty-four years. In 1994, I completed a RE-SEED leadership training program at NU, and then assisted in the training and placing of twelve retirees in Cape Cod middle schools to teach physical science. Since 1999, I have also been a volunteer member of a TRIAD organization. The group’s members work with the police in Mashpee helping seniors with crime and safety-related problems. There is life after retirement.” He can be reached by e-mail at edpatbowen@juno.com.

Janice Snow Richards sends news of herself and husband Sam, both E’59, from Grosse Ile, Michigan. “Sam and I have both retired, Sam from Monsanto and me from Loctite. We are enjoying ourselves with our family (three children, five grandchildren), our hobbies (including a small antiques business), fly-fishing in northern Michigan, and traveling. We also still play tennis.” They can be e-mailed at jansnowrichards@aol.com.
