STEPHEN BROWN ’62

So happy to have woken up today next to my wife Margie of 55 years. Missing the loss of so many of our classmates. Most of us that are still here seem to be focused on how we can best use the remaining years we have been given. I’ve been impressed with what other classmates are doing. I’m lucky to have been able to stay active, competing in sprint triathlons, staying active in our community, in our conservation commission, library, yacht club, rowing, local Unitarian church, diversity group, and universities that I’ve been involved with. Recently I had a wonderful connection with my Tabor years when I was asked to help consult with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) after taking part in 1961 and 1962 with Fred Hotchkiss ’62 in what I think was the first interaction between WHOI and Tabor thanks to our biology master, Richard Lehrbach. I recall having to approach Science teacher Gil Stokes to explain why I had crashed a Tabor truck containing a dinghy that Fred and I used to sample phytoplankton in the Weweantic River. The highlight of my life so far has been able to recover from being fired twice from two different jobs and fortunately each time ending up in a better place. My current challenge is recovering from a severely torn rotator cuff injury after crashing my bike. Treasuring any future interactions with our classmates.
