Sixties

Joan Marie Weiss Davidson ’60 e-mails that since Antioch, she has “…two lovely grown ‘kids’; a Ph.D in French; two and a half years experience in the Peace Corps in Madagascar, 1998-2000; fluency in French and Spanish; and lots of experience teaching languages on all levels above Jr. High. I am currently living a hermit-like existence in Northfield, Vermont, town of the sole private military college in the US of ASS (Bushland).”

She adds that “…since 2001, I’ve returned to my ‘major’ (at Antioch) in art and have been painting, etc. In May 2003, I was one of the Vermonters selected for Vermont Resident Week at Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, and had the exciting opportunity to be with artists only (including writers) for a week. I had my own room and a well-lit studio; delicious meals, which we did NOT cook ourselves; and the open-ended time to work daily and intensely on art. If anyone is interested in funding any sort of scholarship for this program which reaches out during the year to people from all states and countries, please contact: info@vermontstudiocenter.org and/or Jon Greeg and Louise von Weis, the founders. Any contribution to the arts would be appreciated as well.” Friends write: 96 Spring Street, Northfield, VT 05663.

Belinda Doty Taylor ’64 e-mails: “I have recently made a career change, leaving after nine years as editor of Callboard, a monthly theatre magazine in San Francisco, to become director of the Arts Marketing Institute, a program of the California Arts Council funded by the Wallace-Readers Digest Funds. I direct a statewide program designed to increase awareness of the role of arts and culture in building a healthy society, and to increase public participation in the arts. We are using the methodologies of social marketing (used traditionally in the public health sector, e.g., nonsmokers’ rights, seat-belt use, and so forth) to elevate the role of art in society. I commute to Sacramento three days a week via Amtrak (yeah Amtrak!) and work the other days out of my quaint storybook home in Berkeley.”

After being an Easterner all my life, I became a Westerner in Seattle seven years ago and love it. I have a 33-year-old son and a new Korean grandson, as well as a superb new husband as of four years ago. For many years, I directed large-scale projects on education for girls in math, science, and technology that were funded by the National Science Foundation, and am now switching to freelance consulting and writing.

Daniel Friedman ’69, Professor Emeritus of Psychology, writes: “Having spent five years as a student at Antioch and 20 years teaching psychology there, I finally decided last year that it was time to get back out into the real world. I’m now retired from Antioch and living in Portland, Oregon, where I’ve been working on documentary film and radio journalism projects. My interest in documentary film got a jumpstart when a generous Dean of Faculty let me spend a sabbatical year studying film and video production at the University of Michigan. Since then, in collaboration with Sharon Grimberg, I’ve produced and directed Back-Alley Detroit, whose awards include a Silver Plaque from the Chicago International Film Festival, and Miss India Georgia, which won an ‘Award of Commendation’ from the Society for Visual Anthropology and was broadcast nationally in the PBS primetime schedule.

“Here in Portland I’ve been active in the Jewish Alliance for Peace and Justice, which advocates a negotiated two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. There were nine people at the meeting called last fall to organize a Portland chapter – and four of them turned out to be Antiochians: Harry Stein ’59, Marjorie Holland ’68, Lesley Spector ’86 – a former advisee – and me. Other Antiochians I’ve run into include: Mike Malan ’70, John Burton ’69, and my former students, Larry Betcher ’87, Chrystal Godleske ’94, Terry Bryan ’95, Anthony Davison ’85, and Sharane Antonette ’92. Would love to hear from classmates, colleagues, and former students.” 1405 SW Park Avenue, Apt. 41, Portland, OR 97201. dfriedman@antioch-college.edu.
