Dr.
Steve K. Dubrow-Eichel (né Steve K. Eichel), a
psychologist in Philadelphia, has been awarded diplomate status in
counseling psychology by the American Board of Professional
Psychology and has been elected a fellow of the ABPP’s
Academy of Counseling Psychology. “My daughter, Jennifer
Dubrow, a ‘legacy’ student at the College, graduated in
May after finishing in three years (shades of my old Columbia
roommate Ken Brightfield!). Jennifer earned a double major
in MEALAC (Middle East and Asian Languages and Culture) and music.
She begins the Ph.D. program in South Asian languages and
civilizations (on a full scholarship) at the University of Chicago
in the fall 2000.”
Michael Gilbride is on a leave of absence from teaching
literacy to elementary school kids in the Bronx for New York public
schools and this June will be getting his third graduate degree, a
master’s and advanced certificate in school psychology.
“People who knew me back when might be surprised to know that
I’ve entered the psychological profession,” Michael
observes. “But there it is.”

I
grew up in the ’70s — even got through college.
Although the ’80s were not always easy, things improved
pretty steadily for me throughout the ’90s. So I look forward
with confidence to the… to the… well, darn it, to this
next decade. I have been waiting for somebody to tell us what the
period 2000-2009 ought to be called for short. But I’ve
decided that it may be up to us: please write in with suggestions,
along with news. (Or let me know if you think that we’re just
stuck until 2010.) Speaking of news:
The
Rev. Thomas Worcester, S.J. received tenure and a promotion
to associate professor of history at Holy Cross College, whereupon
— as is the way with us academics — he will go on
sabbatical during the fall and spring terms to work on a book on
“the religious origins of national consciousness in early
modern France.” Best of luck.
I
was glad to hear from Martha Schall Czaczkes, wife of Murray
Czaczkes since 1997. She tells us that Murray remains in
partnership with his brother in a law practice in Norwich, Conn.,
and that she and Murray enjoyed the class reunion in 1997. She also
announces the arrival of Joshua Ethan Czaczkes on January 3, 2000.
Finally, she notes that she and Murray (and now Joshua) “live
on his family’s wonderful old farm in the quiet town of North
Franklin in northeastern Connecticut” and that “I
commute to New Haven where I work for a rival Ivy League
institution that shall remain nameless.”
Bill Dorsey (bill2024@aol.com) is a clinical
social worker with Kaiser Permanente — has been for 10 years
now. He works at two sites in California (Santa Rosa and San
Rafael), somehow doing a laundry-list of things: patient
supervision, counseling and referrals, liaison with community
agencies, and management of projects such as an eldercare task
force. His wife, Lynn, is an occupational therapist, and their
boys, Brendan (8) and Brian (5), enjoy computer games, sports, and,
not incidentally, music. Bill adds that “this former Burnt
Turkey drummer still finds some time for music, playing with a jazz
combo in coffeehouses in the area.” Evokes a whole lifestyle,
doesn’t it? Bill follows CCT faithfully, noting,
“It’s fun to catch a name here and there of someone I
know.” More fun to follow, I promise.
P.S.: I will include your e-mail address in the column only at
your express request.

The
Class of 1980 held its 20-year reunion June 2-4. Turnout was strong
with the following class members signing up for some or all of the
weekend’s activities: Jeff Benson, Eric Blattman, Michael
Brown, Ray Commisso, Larry Duran, James Gerkis, Timothy Howard,
David Israel, Michael Kaplan, Keith Krasney, David Maloof, Sam
McPherson, John Metaxas, Brian O’Hagan, Bruce Paulsen, Tim
Pinsky, Mark Pollack, Jim Schachter, James Smyth, David Steiner,
Ariel Teitel, Martin “Doc” Thompson, Aron Wahrman,
David Walker, and Douglas Wong.
Weekend activities included a cocktail reception at the Museum
of the City of New York on Friday evening, a Saturday afternoon
barbecue and e-commerce panel discussion, a Saturday night dinner
with dancing on the Low Steps, and talks with film critic Andrew
Sarris ’51 and former dean of students Roger Lehecka
’67.
I
regret that I was unable to make the reunion and see those of you
who attended. I’m sure those who attended had a great weekend
and enjoyed seeing the many changes to the Columbia
campus.
David Walker, recently at Brooklyn College fundraising,
is now at Long Island College Hospital in Brooklyn Heights. Mike
Brown works in the East 50s in financial services. Both
attended several of the reunion events and reported in on the
events.
I
hope increasing numbers of you will keep in touch by phone, mail or
e-mail as it gets increasingly difficult to find material for
non-reunion columns. Also, it’s never too early to start
thinking about interesting ideas for our 25th reunion in
2005.
