March/April 2005.

The Council for Advancement and Support of Education and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching 
named Robert Bell, professor English at William College, in Williamstown, MA as the 2004 outstanding baccalaureate 
college professor.  Bob has been a member of the Williams College Department of English since 1972 and the William 
R. Kenan, Jr., Professor of English since 1994.  He has published on a variety of subjects including Shakespeare 
and Joyce.  His works included "On Becoming a Teacher of Teachers" and "Jocoserious Joyce: The Fate of Folly in 
Ulysses."  He received the Robert Foster Cherry award for Great Teaching in 1998.  At College, Bob was an English 
major and earned a Ph.D. from Harvard University. 

Bob Burka wrote that the second annual DC mini-reunion dinner went very well.   John Isaacs and Bob are creating 
a Washington tradition.  Attendees included: Bob and Maria Burka, Phyllis Liebert, Bruce Chasan, John and Amy Isaacs, 
Chuck Sherman ('66), Bill MacCarty, Churck Hobbie, Bill and Jenny Lamb, Brad Langley, Sam Ostrow, Bill Judd, 
Wayne Beyer, Tony Newkirk, Larry Leiken, Wayne and Beverly Johnson.  A photo is available on the '67 class web page.  
Bob is still practicing law at Foley & Lardner LLP.  Maria continues as a program director at the National Science 
Foundation.  The Burka children are well on the way to their own careers.  The oldest, Jackie  (Princeton '96 and 
Columbia MBA '01) is a VP at Merrill Lynch in institutional sales and trading; Michael (Penn '98) is on "The Street," 
and youngest Jennifer (Dartmouth '01) is a second year law student at Georgetown.

My news is that with the help of Doug Leitch ('65) of the Development Office, I established a fund endowing a 
professorship at the College. My legacy includes my musings and my graduate students; why not endow some professors 
to continue my research and teaching interests?  Consider becoming a member of the Bartlett Tower Society to support 
the College. 
 
Remember the 60th birthday party during October 7-9, 2005 and help Bruce Pacht with the party and 40th Reunion planning.  
There will be a barbecue dinner on Friday October 7, 2005 at John Wasson's barn in Lebanon. Saturday the class will 
have the Base Lodge at Quechee.  RSVP Bruce Pacht at bruce@uds.org to attend.
