 1965  Gary Noyes ’67 (MS) and his wife, Carol, went on a cruise from the French Polynesian is-land, Papeete, to Lima, Peru. Accompanying the couple on the trip was the University mascot, Rocky. Gary writes: “A highlight was Easter Island. Rocky was duly impressed by all the moai on the island. When in Peru, Rocky had to flap his little wings very hard to get up to the Andes and, unfortu-nately, had a bit of a problem with the altitude (Cuzco is at 11,000 feet.) Regardless, he found the sights at Machu Picchu to be awe-inspiring. For everyone’s sake, no photos of Rocky being sick!”

 1968  Alan Lobel ’69S (MBA) was a finalist for a Jefferson Award for Community Service in Albany, N.Y. The national awards program was founded in 1972 by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Sen.

Annie Weissman, who has written five books for teachers and librari-ans, has published her first nov-el.

He adds that he con-tinues to run his financial servic-es business, John D. Butterworth Associates. . . .

University of Oklahoma College of Medicine: the Stanton L. Young Master Teacher Award, the Edgar W. Young Lifetime Achievement Award, and the Aesculapian Award for Excellence in Teaching in the Basic Sciences. I was also selected as a founding member of the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine Academy of Teaching Scholars.” . . .

Harriette has spent more than 30 years in public relations and marketing, and most recently, as a community service represen-tative for a home health organiza-tion, developed a referral partner network among health care facil-ities and professionals spanning 33 towns.

 1980  Gail Schwat Liss has co-authored The College Bound Organizer (Sourcebooks), a step-by-step guide to the college appli-cation process that includes tips and worksheets for each step. “It

includes a foreword by Edward B. Fiske, of Fiske Guide to Colleges, and a Q&A with admissions pro-fessionals,” Gail writes.

 1981  Randy Otto has coed-ited the fourth edition of The Handbook of Forensic Psychology (John Wiley & Sons). Randy is an associate professor in the University of South Florida’s de-partment of mental health law and policy.
