originally posted by MScott on 5 March 2005 at 10:13:03 I'm almost sure I was in Bill Hatch's room when the Neff incident occurred. Someone knocked on the door, explained the situation & asked Hatch to arm himself & intervene. "Wild Bill", who was actually rather steady (as befitted an Economics major & Goldwater Republican), after ascertaining that the police had been called, told the student to lock himself in his room & let the professionals sort things out. The story I heard at the time had Neff a weightlifter only incidentally; he was identified as a former state wrestling champion, high scool or college not specified. Tom Ryerson recalls the name of the RA who lost a finger as Dennis Raynor, which sounds right to me. I knew the student in the choke hold, but can't remember his name. I remember seeing Daniel Alweiss being carried down from the woods. A rather strange story was circulating, that an experienced winter hiker had spent the night in a snow burrow testing out a new subzero sleepng bag, and that his friend, walking up into the woods to check on him, had stumbled over Daniel's body. I recall the "Tommy" concert quite well. Someone in the band missed a cutoff at the end of one of the tunes, & in the ensuing silence, the bandleader's admonition could be clearly heard. Otherwise, very professional. | ||

Lost Finger originally posted by Ken Geiger on 5 March 2005 at 13:23:12 I'm pretty sure the RA who lost the tip of his finger was Keith (his last name eludes me). The irony of the whole thing was that Keith had served a term in Nam unscathed only to walk into this bizzare incident--go figure. copos@hbci.com | ||

Keith's finger originally posted by Linda Ruggles (BFA '76) on 11 March 2005 at 19:28:18 I can't remember his name but he was indeed a Vietnam Vet and a member of the Vermont National Guard. He told me he instructed the medical types to fix his finger so that he could pull a trigger. They did. lruggles@verizon.net | ||

Keith Schwenn, perhaps originally posted by MSCott on 18 March 2005 at 14:01:24 There's a post in the 'News From Alumni' section of this site from Keith Schwenn, who attended Windham from '73 to his graduation in January '76. He writes, "I might be remembered as one of the security guards as I worked in that capacity while I was on campus." Could this be the gentleman in question? | ||

final exam originally posted by steve russo on 19 March 2005 at 15:04:43 sorry, Linda...i do not... though ned doucette's (along with prodding from George Soulos, too be sure) encouraging me to join his renaissance group to expand my music horizons beyond Jazz enriched my experience at Windham, as did your "turning me on to "Worm Orborous""... hopeallzwell- steve dec.

All is well originally posted by Linda Ruggles on 23 March 2005 at 08:26:56 Hi Steve, Yup, life is well and I'm enjoying it. I married a long time friend (Michael Motes) in 1977 and followed him around the world (the last of the draft dodgers - his number was pulled in the last lottery and he ended up accepting a NROTC scholarship at Cornell, dodging his way into a 20 year career with the USMC before retiring and growing what little hair he has left into a tail down his back). I went on to get an MA in American History and am working on a PhD now. I've been teaching U.S. history with UMUC since 1993 - 5 years in Japan and the rest back here in the States (the past 4 of them online). I continue to sing wherever and whenever I can - in places from the Kennedy Center to local churches and in every country I've live in. We now live on Maryland's Eastern Shore in Chestertown (home of the oldest liberal arts college in the United States: Washington College). Hope all is well with you? lruggles@verizon.net | ||

life is good, Linda.... originally posted by steve russo dec'74 on 3 April 2005 at 13:28:42 ...but America is getting strange- the "p.c." trappings of "the liberal left"- a pejorative-"ization" of conservatives, along with its crystal-gazing New age reductionism of Faith, is dogging me just as bad as the bible-thumping evangelical Christian- Ralph Reed Right...Rapture-"ists"- very contrary to King James Scripture- how i, as an "Aesthetician" (?) deal with this is by substitute teaching- i love kids and can handle just about anything; instructing creative writing; running a rag-tag writers' actors collective in new york, and practicing my drums like a mad man..... unlike yourself who went after your man and snagged him, i let my gal goback to scotland.... i'm very content and not, at the same time- i guess that makes for homeostasis, though, seeing as how the universe is concurrently expanding and contracting.... while we're on the subject of the two obsolete political parties both guilty of destryong our country- A valiant individualistic soul/great teacher like Bryant Card would never be allowed in a classroom today- regards, and continued success in music and ed- steve.................. stelogia@yahoo.com | ||

Ned Doucet originally posted by MScott on 19 March 2005 at 22:08:11 Ned was a particular friend of mine at Windham, though we ragged on him a bit. In fact, Barb Futterman & I wrote a little ditty called "Talkin' Ned Doucet Blues' that amused him greatly (sample lyric, "Don't stand too close to Ned Doucet, he'll poison you with his chemistry set"). There have been rumors of legal difficulties, & a Google search turned up the following. I hope he has managed to sort out his life & is enjoying health & fulfillment. Thursday, October 12, 2000 Copyright © Las Vegas Review-Journal MURDER TRIAL CONTINUES: Las Vegas doctor's best man testifies - Former doctor says defendant hated wife, `could kill her' By TONY BATT Donrey Washington Bureau NEW YORK -- The best man at the 1982 wedding of murder suspect Robert Bierenbaum and his first wife testified Wednesday that Bierenbaum told him two years later he hated her so much he could kill her. Bierenbaum, a plastic surgeon who moved to Las Vegas four years after his wife, Gail Katz-Bierenbaum, vanished from their Manhattan apartment, is charged with second degree murder. Prosecutors believe he dumped her body from a plane into the Atlantic Ocean on July 7, 1985. Bierenbaum, who moved from Las Vegas to Minot, N.D., in 1996, faces up to life in prison if convicted. Edward Doucet, 47, testified he became friends with Bierenbaum at Albany Medical College in 1974. Doucet served as Bierenbaum's best man when he married Katz-Bierenbaum in September 1982. Two years later, just months before Katz-Bierenbaum disappeared, Doucet said he bumped into Bierenbaum as he was emerging from a Manhattan subway. He said Bierenbaum told him he was on his way to see a psychiatrist and that he had sought therapy in an effort to save the marriage. "He said he hated her so much that he could kill her," Doucet said. Doucet acknowledged under questioning that he had been stripped of his medical license in 1987 for improperly writing medical prescriptions and keeping money after selling a family's antiques. Bierenbaum's lawyers elected not to cross-examine Doucet. | ||

Still more Ned stuff originally posted by MScott on 4 april 2005 at 17:23:21 I don't remember the Putney Mt. particulars - please elucidate. Further research led me to a copy of the document detailing the circumstances behind the loss of Ned's medical license. There must be much between the lines that we'll never know ...

Ned originally posted by Brad M. Bucklin on 7 April 2005 at 23:40:03 Always wondered if he ever became a doctor. I did a search on his name a while ago and came up with some vague references to some legal situation he was in. That must have been it. As I mentioned, Ned was my roommate in Chumley, and friend. We switched costumes one Halloween to fool people, and I used to go with him when he played the organ in Putney. He also used to keep those damn jars of fetuses and things in the room. I do remember the blood drive incident. wordking@earthlink.net | ||
