Don’t Deny Your
Age, Celebrate It
by Susan W. Hoskins
R
ecently someone asked me if the Princeton Senior Resource Center would co-sponsor a
talk called “Don’t Let an Old Person Move Into
Your Body.” I thought about it for several days,
and then I declined.
It was certainly nice to be asked. But I just
couldn’t get past the feeling that there was an
implied insult to older adults that I didn’t want
to participate in. What if I said “don’t let a girl
move into your body?” Or a college professor?
Or a Latina? All of these would be considered
offensive. So why is it okay to say this about
OLD?
Our culture is extremely anti-aging. Whole
industries thrive on removing wrinkles and
folds. Elderhostel changed its name to Exploritas to get “elder” out of the image. People won’t
come to a program at PSRC because it is a “senior center,” which conjures images of old people
sitting around waiting for lunch (clearly they
have not visited PSRC). Boomers are especially
prone to age-denial. Most have no plan to retire
at all and 25 million have saved less than
$1,000. They do everything they can to avoid
anything related to aging.
I understand that the central theme of this
motivational speaker’s presentation is that
much depends on our attitude about aging. I
agree that we can choose not to “think old,” to
keep active and engaged, to find purpose and
passion throughout our lives. This is one of the
things I love about working at PSRC: every day
I work with people who are actively learning,
doing, and giving to their families and communities. What wonderful role models for us all.
But I do not agree with the author that “getting old is a myth.” The reality is that physically
we are aging. I think those who are most successful at aging find ways to adapt to this reality. You take gentle yoga and senior aerobics
rather than a high-paced class at a fitness center.
You volunteer 10 hours a week instead of working 50 hours. And yes, some of you are still running marathons.
In my years at PSRC, I have also met many
people who feel that you deserve some respect
for your age and wisdom. My question is: how
do we change our culture to one that honors and
reveres old age? In New Age lingo, how can we
“embrace and nurture our inner elder?” Our upcoming fall conference on Saturday, October 23
will feature Willo Carey, executive director of
WHYY’s Wider Horizons, a partner in the
Coming of Age project, which is helping people
age 50-plus explore their future, working to
change our culture to view people in the second
half of life as a tremendous resource and this
time in life as a great opportunity.
Interestingly, the New York Times has had
two articles recently that relate to this issue. In
“Old Age From Youth’s Narrow Prism” (March
1, 2010), author Marc Agronin MD points out
that we often view old age through the eyes of
youth, and that by so doing, we imagine only
pain and loss, but fail to see the joys of new pursuits and the wisdom and meaning that age can
bring. On May 31 Nicholas Bakalar, in “Happiness May Come With Age,” reports that a large
2008 Gallup poll found that people get happier
as they get older.
So I want to be in the forefront of a movement
that honors, respects, reveres, and even envies
old people. In the same way that 40 years ago we
changed the perception that women could not
do many jobs traditionally held by men, we
must confront those who think that age is all
about loss and diminishment. Confront people
who use ageist language and concepts. Be
mindful of the ways that you unwittingly buy into these perceptions and perpetuate them. Get
involved in intergenerational groups so that
youth get to know who you really are and can
benefit from your wisdom and experience. Embrace your inner elder with pride.
Susan Hoskins LCSW has been the executive
director of the Princeton Senior Resource Center for eight years, overseeing the renovation of
the Suzanne Patterson Building, doubling of the
programs, and expansion of support and guidance services.
She earned her BA from Earlham College in
Richmond, IN, and her MSW from Rutgers
Graduate School of Social Work. She also holds
certificates in gerontology and senior service
management. She was a family therapist at the
Family Guidance Center of Mercer County for
20 years prior to coming to PSRC.
Hoskins lives on the campus of George
School in Newtown, PA, where her husband
teaches in the arts, and her younger son is a junior. Her older son is seeking local video production work after working for Oberlin College for
two years. Her parents live in a nearby retirement community. At the age of 57, Hoskins is
active in her Quaker Meeting and loves being
outdoors, gardening, and yoga.

ig business or small, in salad days or lean, there are basics
when it comes to advertising that
have nothing to do with technological advances. You still a clear
sense of the product or service
you’re selling and you still need to
know who your target market is.
Alan Yarnoff, owner of the Advertising Consultancy, will present
his occasional, free SCORE workshop on the principles of advertising for small businesses on Thursday, July 15, at 6:45 p.m. at the
Princeton Library. Contact Yarnoff
at 609-448-2451.
Build advertising around the
target audience. Going in with a
shotgun approach won’t work,
Yarnoff says. You need to know
the target audience and plan accordingly.
Don’t forget the most likely
markets. A small, Indian-owned
accounting firm brainstorming
with Yarnoff asked how to expand
its business. Yarnoff suggested

something the firm had overlooked
— the Indian market.
But do forget the Yellow
Pages. The Yellow Pages are dead.
And expensive. Your advertising
dollars will do well if put in front of
your target via something it will
see — why do you think beer companies advertise during football
games? Or why a day-care center
advertises in a local business newspaper?
Sound counterintuitive? Think
about it — children who populate
upscale centers are usually the offspring of two working parents,
who might read the business paper
regularly.
Pay, it works. Pay the experts if
you want high quality. Everyone in
a small business wants a website,
but to be effective it must be done
and promoted properly.
Make the product central in
the ad. Obscure ads for perfume
and jeans aside, people want to
know what you are selling. So tell
them.
See if your advertising is
working. Including a coupon or
quiz in your ad is a good way to test
whether the ad works. If you offer
something in an ad and no one
takes you up on it, the ad is not
working.
Alternatively, you could just ask
people how they heard about you.
You might be advertising in the
wrong spot and don’t know it. An
exterminator business Yarnoff
worked with had been advertising
in nine publications in several
towns. When Yarnoff suggested
analyzing the responses, the owner
realized responses were coming
only from two of the towns.
Happy New Year, now set your
budget. Set your advertising budget for the year on January 1. Going
week to week isn’t as good a bet as
setting a budget and knowing your
hotspots. A florist, for example,
should set aside money knowing
that advertising should be heaviest
at the busiest times of the year —
Valentine’s Day, Easter, Mother’s
Day, and Christmas.

course at Rutgers.
Continued from preceding page
were going to use it. We knew it
was going to be something that was
potentially a transformative experience in the customer/firm relationship. That’s really what we’re
focused on, how the power seems
to be shifting, how technology is
allowing customers to have much
more say in the marketplace and in
engagement with firms.”
As each new technological advance happens, he says, we see
power starting to shift more and
more toward customers. “Firms
that recognize that and try to engage customers to take control
over their experience are the firms
we see winning in the marketplace.”
The consumer frontier. Greenberg believes the iPad represents
the first type of technology that
combines the benefit of mobility
with the ability to generate content
and integrate the device in a way
that the other models could not. “It
was the first technology that I
thought would appeal to the noncomputer users, people like seniors
who perhaps do not use computers
that often, or they are not user
friendly enough,” says Greenberg.
“It’s able to be used in ways computers were not before — to tap into customers that were not previously in the marketplace.”
In other words, it’s not stealing
customers from competitors. It’s
making all other devices irrelevant.
Greenberg believes it is critical
for anyone seeking to pursue a career in marketing, or to advance
their career in the field, to understand the new technology, to understand how it affects the customer experience and then to see
how to integrate it into the overall
marketing plan.
“What better way to prepare a
marketing expert than to give them
the device to actually walk in the
customers’ shoes?” he asks.
“When I go out and do consulting I
always say to the CEOs you need to
get out of your office and walk in
the customers shoes. We look at the
iPad as an opportunity to put in the
classroom the experience of the
customers.”
According to Greenberg, for
many students, this course will
provide their first opportunity to
work with an iPad to see what the
customer experience is like and to
understand the device’s capabilities and limitations. “Then we’re
going to ask them to create marketing plans and strategies to take advantage of the capabilities of the
new technology,” he says.
Greenberg grew up on Long Island, the son of a lumber broker
and a stay-at-home mother. He
earned his bachelor’s in business
from Penn, and his J.D. and L.L.M.
in taxation from New York University. He then began his career as a
tax attorney on Wall Street.
“I ended up writing the tax disclosures on financial instruments,
which was fairly dry and not what I
anticipated when I took the position,” he says. “I always wanted to
start my own business. I saw there
was an opportunity back in the early 1990s to do that. I really thought
I would just be starting a business
for six months and move on. But I
was in the right place at the right
time.”
Greenberg started his own marketing firm, Millennium Teleservices, which he ran for a decade. In
that time, as president and CEO, he
grew it into a full service customer

The center also is able to give
employers a little more incentive to

county, One-Stop can pay 50 percent of a new hire’s wages for up to
six months during training. “It’s a
way for an entry level person to get
some good training and for you to
mold an employee with the job
skills you would like to see,”
Bukosky says.
For jobseekers, the center will
provide a variety of job search
seminars, job leads, and advice on
Wednesday, July 21 how to make themselves more
marketable. “We look to see if they
don’t have something listed, we try

Chamber Event
Rescheduled
Indulge yourself with three
hundred acres of breathtaking
vistas, attentive service,
and exemplary cuisine.
D
ue to inclement weather, the Princeton Chamber is
moving its Mid-Summer Marketing Showcase to Thursday,
July 15 at 4:30 p.m.
Bukosky also suggests no longer
listing the dates you graduated
from high school and college. Doing so can unintentionally reveal a
job seeker’s age.
“I meet with people regularly,
and sometimes it’s just simple
things on their resumes,” she says.
“We still see people come in with
resumes without dates, listing their
hobbies and not listing their accomplishments.”
After a career that began on the
ground floor in manufacturing and
moved up the ranks to human resources and employee training,
Bukosky is able to see things from
the employee and the employer’s
point of view. “I bring a unique perspective. I remember sitting behind the table at the job fairs, so I
know what companies look for,”
she says.
A Trenton native, Bukosky entered the work force working for
her family, the Switlick Parachute
Company, which opened in the
1920s, manufacturing safety and
survival equipment for the marine
and aviation industries, and still
operates in Trenton.
A graduate of the University of
North Carolina, Bukosky went on
to a career in staffing and human
resources, employee training. She
worked with Transocean, which
provides offshore drilling operations in places such as the Gulf of
Mexico. Transocean is the company that operated the infamous rig
that was the source of the catastrophic oil spill. Her responsibility there was ensuring that employees received the required training
to operate in the Gulf.
“I trained all of the staff in the
Gulf of Mexico, and I made sure
they met the Coast Guard regulations and guidelines for firefighting,” she says. She is a Coast
Guard-certified firefighter herself.
But, unable to take the Jersey
out of the girl, she moved home.
She says that while many things in
the city have changed, there are
certain constants which she is familiar with.
“I have a different perspective,
having grown up around here, and
having Trenton in my blood,” she
says. “I remember my father and
grandfather talking about the different groups of workers they were
hiring, I remember going there and
seeing a lot of immigrants, and today it’s still immigrants.”

Energy Futures
E
nergy is cheap in the United
States, but while it has created a
comfortable lifestyle, it is not a
sustainable one.
Energy prices are so low in the
United States because subsidies
hide the true costs of fuels. “We
have, by some accounts, 250 different subsidies that apply to traditional energy sources that help hold
costs down,” says Stephen Morgan, CEO of American Clean Energy in Saddle Brook.

Review: Shakespeare in the Park
‘The Merchant of Venice’
T
he Public Theater’s free
Shakespeare in the Park series is
presenting two of the Bard’s more
challenging comedies in repertory:
the ever controversial “The Merchant of Venice,” which has not
had a major New York production
since 1989, when Dustin Hoffman
played Shylock, and the magical
romance “The Winter’s Tale.” The
concept of rotating repertory is not
new to the Public Theater. It remains to be seen if this pairing (unlike the historically connected condensation “The War of the Roses,”
which rotated the “Henry VI” plays
and “Richard III” almost 40 years
ago) will initiate the public’s acceptance of repertory styled theater. It certainly will make someone with a preference for one or the
other to make sure they pick the
right night. There’s a how-to get
tickets at the end of the reviews.
There is no doubt that the elements of friendship, love, revenge,
and overt anti-Semitism, so tenuously blended in “The Merchant of
Venice” are all nicely served by director Daniel Sullivan in his unfussy staging. The action, with an
opening scene in the closing minutes of the stock exchange, appears
to take place in the early years of
the 20th century. But, whenever I
am (or feel) compelled to sit
through this hard-to-laugh-at comedy, I have to resort to finding solace in almost everything but the
story and the eternal enigma regarding Shakespeare’s true intention and purpose.
Sullivan has to be praised for at
least figuring out how to best cope
with the three interlocking plots,
and also cater to the now familiar
idiosyncrasies of the play’s star, Al
Pacino. While Pacino, who starred
in a 2004 filmed version set respectfully in the 16th century, takes
an honest and believable approach
to Shylock’s ethnicity, he also indulges the more acerbic side of
Shylock’s sense of humor.
by Simon Saltzman
Although I could spend time
carping about the way that Pacino
bends Shakespeare’s prose, I was
more fascinated by the way he was
able to convince me that he was nobody’s fool, and still begging to be
foiled. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Pacino’s technique is not
one to be compromised by his awe
for Shakespeare’s language. Indeed, it is the unexpected turn of a
phrase that keeps us in the thrall of
an extremely unpleasant comedy.
But he does show us with every sly
and subversive response to the extremely bigoted and racist society
in which he lives that he is a man
who is capable of carving a pound
of flesh from his debtor, Antonio.
If there is an essential character
If there is an essential
character element
that is greatly enhanced it is in revealing Shylock’s more
humane side.
element that is greatly enhanced it
is in revealing Shylock’s more humane side. Two scenes that will remain forged in my memory: Shylock, having been stripped of his
wealth by the vengeful Christians,
is forced to undergo the rite of baptism, and then the sight of him
walking slowly away from his humiliation alone and friendless.
One really cannot blame the actors when the characters they have
to play and their prescribed relationships seem only designated to
inflate the plot. Are we supposed to
be dismayed or made happy by the
callous and calculated way that
Shylock’s
daughter,
Jessica
(Heather Lind), escapes from the
watchful eye of her overly protective (and with good reason) father?
But we are, nevertheless, as beguiled by her Jessica as is her good-
looking Venetian lover, Lorenzo
(as personably played by Bill
Heck), and with whom she elopes.
Lily Rabe gives a refreshingly
untypical performance as Portia,
the very rich and very smart lady
who not only figures out how to
catch the husband of her choice but
also how to give an effective
speech. Since none of the play’s
verse reaches the level of Portia’s
famous speech beginning “The
quality of mercy is not strain’d,”
Rabe gives it a persuasively lyrical
ring. And she also looks good in
drag when she gives the speech disguised as a learned doctor.
There are some very fine supporting performances, many of
whom are also cast in the “The
Winter’s Tale.” Byron Jennings
couldn’t be more solicitously
loathsome as the merchant Antonio, who despises Shylock for being a Jew and a usurer. Hamish Linklater has a quirky self-effacing
countenance as Portia’s penniless
suitor.
Sullivan, who has proved himself a deft hand with Shakespeare,
has staged the play beautifully
within designer Mark Wendland’s
revolving and mobile metal structures.
At the performance I attended, a
full moon added to the atmospherics. Except for the silly, certainly
unfixable wrap-up scene, Sullivan
moves his company with style and
allows the comical wooing of Portia by two notably silly suitors to
provide what little humor there is
in this famously unpleasant comedy. ++
'The Winter’s Tale'
T
hat it has been referred to as
one of the Bard’s lesser works has
not dissuaded directors from approaching its convoluted, preposterous plot and essentially unmotivated exposition with a defensive
passion. Director Michael Grief is
a Public Theater favorite and an ad-

vocate for the unconventional staging of a classic. A huge movable
skyline of glass windows is but one
of the visual treats created by scenic designer Mark Wendland that
enhance the journeys to and from
the ancient lands of Sicilia and Bohemia. The costume designs by
Jess Goldstein are handsomely
muted.
But there is nothing muted about
the first portion of this play in
which we see a how a court falls
victim to the unfounded ranting
and raving of their king and his behavioral idiocy. Leontes, the king
of Sicilia (Ruben Santiago-Hudson), suddenly goes mad with jealousy because he (for no apparent
reason) suspects and then accuses
the incontestably pregnant queen,
Hermione (Linda Emond), of having had an affair with their house
guest, Polixenes (Jesse L. Martin),
his best friend, the king of Bohemia. Throughout the play, Polixenes’s gallantry as shown by Martin is to be admired.
We can only guess (since Shakespeare doesn’t make it too clear)
that even best friends can overstay
their welcome. Paradoxically, after
the play’s first half, in which we see
how a distressingly paranoid
monarch slanders, humiliates,
alienates, and even destroys most
everyone he holds dear, we are
treated to a second half all bathed
in sweetness and light (with a significant assist from lighting designer Ken Posner) to making
everyone live happily ever after.
Not one of Shakespeare’s greatest hits, “The Winter’s Tale” makes
up for its lack of coherence and cohesiveness in its ability to provoke
our continued interest. And certainly its rush of exquisite lyricism
is not to be overlooked.
Grief keeps this intriguingly
lopsided and fragmented play
moving along even if we feel the
tug of bemused amusement. It
seems doubtful that Grief had any
intentions to make this undeniably
make-believe world, in which time
and tide run amok, more than meets
the eye. In other words, don’t look
for an inlay of psychological complexity. Hard as we try, it is hard to
forgive the obviously paranoid
Leontes for his mindless stupidity.
His difficult-to-swallow redemption, however, does not preclude
our need to re-evaluate his psychosis in the light of his change of
heart.
Linda Emond’s display of patience-in-adversity as that “precious creature” Hermione is heartbreaking to watch. As expected,
Marianne Jean-Baptiste is a burst
of feminine fury as Paulina, the
court physician and resident loudmouth. Heather Lind, as the longlost daughter, Perdita, and Francois
Battiste, as the a-wooing Prince
Florizel, impresses as the lovesick
teens. Not generally moved to
laughter by the antics of most
Shakespeare’s comical characters,
I found the cleverly devised clothes
swapping of Hamish Linklater, as
the roguish Autolycus and Jesse
Tyler Ferguson, as Clown the imbecilic young shepherd, funny indeed.
With its romantic innocence
tainted by macabre undertones and
its gorgeous poetry tested by melodramatic excess, “The Winter’s
Tale” makes uncompromised appreciation difficult. But try it, you
may like it. ++

Opera Review: ‘Don Giovanni’
M
arry an 18th century
opera to contemporary theatrical
effects, and you’ve got the version
of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s
“Don Giovanni” with which Opera
New Jersey opened its 2010 season
on Sunday, July 11, at McCarter
Theater. As the overture opens
world class womanizer Don Giovanni wanders on stage. His outlook, in his own words is, “If you
are faithful to one [woman] you are
cruel to all the others.”
Giovanni views a projection the
height of the entire stage listing the
names of classic beauties: Helen,
Nefertiti, Cleopatra, and Esther,
among others. Stepping behind the
screen, the Don (Andrew Garland)
engages, one-by-one, a series of
shapely women, whom he literally
casts aside. His servant, Leporello
(Matt Boehler), stacks up the bodies.
The climax of the opera comes
as a full stage-height projection of
the vengeful face of the dead Commendatore (Young-Bok Kim) envelops the stage and dwarfs the figures of the Don and his servant.
Giovanni has killed the Commendatore after ravishing his
daughter, Donna Anna (Jennifer
Black). The Commendatore reappears as a statue whom Don Giovanni and Leporello invite to dinner.
The giant projection of the
Commendatore’s face is ghostly.
Minions of hell writhe on stage, illuminated by flames and strobe
lights. Irresistible forces suck Don
Giovanni downwards. The death
that stage director John Hoomes
arranged for Don Giovanni is com-
pelling both dramatically and visually. The scene would have been
more effective if the mouth of the
giant face moved in sync with the
words sung by the Commendatore’s statue.
This opera has a moral: Evil
must be punished. The work concludes with the singing of the
moral by all the remaining principals: Leporello; Donna Anna; Ottavio, the fiance of Donna Anna
(Steven Sanders); Donna Elvira,
the forgiving admirer of Don Giovanni (Laquita Mitchell); and the
On the journey to the
moral, Mozart has

spectacle, and comic
encounters.
peasant couple, Masetto (David
Cushing) and Zerlina (Abigail
Nims).
O
n the journey to the moral,
Mozart has showered us with tuneful music, festive spectacle, and
comic encounters. An enthusiastic
audience welcomed the performance. English supertitles translate
the sung Italian.
Joel Revzen conducts instrumentalists drawn from the New
Jersey Symphony Orchestra.
Revzen is associated with Arizona
Opera, the company to which
Opera New Jersey’s founders,
Scott and Lisa Altman, have gone.
A two-manual harpsichord closely
accompanies the recitatives. A cello solo enhances the duet between
Masetto and Zerlina. The design
team consists of Carey Wong, sets;
Patricia A. Hibbert, costumes, and
Barry Steele, lighting and video
projections.
My favorite performers were
Abigail Nims and Matt Boehler.
Nims’ Zerlina is musically clear,
impeccably in tune, and emotionally convincing. Boehler’s Leporello
is a complex character whose desire to be a gentleman and no longer a servant was endearing because
of his intrinsic dignity and his lack
of gentlemanly qualities.
Scenes detailing the wedding of
Masetto and Zerlina add a light
touch to what is often an emotionally wrenching story, despite the
ebullience of Mozart’s music.
Comic effects are built in by
casting a very tall Leporello (Boehler) as servant to a rather short Don
Giovanni (Garland) as master. Particularly amusing iss the scene
where they exchange clothing and
pretend to be each other.
Aside from their difference in
stature, Hoomes invents another
laughing matter. He portrays the
reluctant Leporello, disguised as
Don Giovanni, as unable to make
appropriate ardent gestures. Don
Giovanni’s coaching of his servant
brought mirth to the audience.

U.S. 1 Crashes a Party
BASTILLE DAY BALL, FUNDRAISER FOR TRINITY COUNSELING SERVICE,
FORBES COLLEGE, SATURDAY, JULY 10
Sometimes you just want to be
where the happy, pretty people are.
Like at the annual Bastille Day Ball,
held this year in an idyllic venue —
Forbes College, a Princeton University residential college that looks
out over the elegant, verdant greens
of Springdale Golf Club.
The event, which benefits Trinity Counseling Service, was called
“La Promenade de Longchamps: A
Prance Through Paris” and adopted
a clever horsey theme: the invitations mimicked the classic red,
white, and blue Hermes logo; a
horse and carriage greeted guests at
the entrance, flanked by the painted
wooden crossbars used to mark the
jumps in competitions; and the tables, set under a crisp white tent
hung with tiny white lights and
chandeliers, had centerpieces made
from silver trophy urns overflowing with blue hydrangeas and
adorned with a blue ribbon award.
Dresses were picked carefully —
more than one came from Jane, the
consignment shop on Spring Street
— with an eye toward a vintage
look a la “Mad Men,” the popular
series on AMC about an advertising
agency in the 1960s. As guest Anna
Roberts told me, “I’d love to go
back to that Jackie O era. So what if
more women work now — why
can’t we still look pretty in a dress?”
This was definitely a dancing
crowd. The band — Live Wire, out
of New York —was fantastic, rocking out with tunes spanning from
the 1940s right through Michael
Jackson, Earth, Wind, & Fire, and
Diana Ross to Lady Gaga. With
more than 1,000 weddings under
its belt since its founding in 1990,
Live Wire really knows how to
whip up a crowd. Guests filled the
dance floor right up to the witching
hour of midnight.
In the class act department:
Event organizers brought out the
entire Forbes College kitchen and
wait staff for a standing ovation.
Funds raised at this annual event
support Trinity Counseling Service (TCS), a private, not-for-profit community counseling service
providing comprehensive and
compassionate care to residents of
the greater Princeton area. Founded in 1968, TCS offers child, family, and adult mental health services, programs, and projects to all in
need, regardless of the client’s
ability to pay. In the absence of insurance coverage, TCS uses a sliding fee scale. Unlike most other
mental health agencies, there is no
maximum allowable number of
sessions or minimum fees.

For Starters, the Back Story of the Brooklyn Bridge
by Susan Van Dongen
T
he Brooklyn Bridge and
the Slinky have something in common: they both exist thanks to steel
wire manufactured by John A.
Roebling’s Sons Company, once
located in Trenton and Roebling.
You can see such great things
small and large at the Roebling
Museum, newly opened to the public and housed in the meticulously
renovated and restored 7,000
square-foot main gate building on
the former company grounds in
Roebling.
“Yes indeed, Slinkys are made
from Roebling flat wire, and we
have the original work order here
in the archives,” says Patricia
Millen, the museum’s executive director. “We sell Slinkys, too, in the
gift shop.”
The museum’s board and staff
have been working in tandem with
Tucker Design of Philadelphia to
install its premier exhibitions. Visitors can enjoy the Roma Bank Media Room, featuring the museum’s
introductory video, then stroll
through the timeline gallery with
its overview history of the Roeblings, as well as the Roebling
gallery, which tells the story of the
Roebling family — in particular,
John Augustus Roebling, the designer and original chief engineer
of the Brooklyn Bridge. Check out
the 16-foot scale model of the elegant bridge.
There is also a gallery on the
company’s history and its myriad
products. Also on view will be the
village gallery with a preview of
collections that will be featured in
the next exhibition. This will be a
special exhibit on the social history
of the village of Roebling, one of
the most intact company towns in
existence, founded in the early
20th century expressly to house the
workers when the Roebling facilities in Trenton were bursting at the
seams from success.
“This has been at least 10 years
in the making,” Millen says. The
restoration of the main gate building was part of the federally funded
Superfund clean-up of the 240acre Roebling mill site. The building was turned over to the Township of Florence and the Roebling
Museum in June, 2009.
“The federal government asked
the community what they wanted
here and the community responded
by saying that they wanted a museum to tell the story of the company,
but especially about the people
who worked here and the village of
Roebling,” Millen says. “Both the
main gate house and the entire village of Roebling are registered national and state-registered historic
places. When you come to the museum, you can also take a self-guided walking tour of the village.
“At one time there were 767
buildings in the village, mostly
workers’ homes,” she says. “You
can see the different styles and
sizes of the homes, some smaller,
designed for a single man, some
larger for a man with a family,
(grander) homes for the management. The homes reflected the hierarchy of the company. But they
were mostly brick with slate
roofs.”
With a fruit tree in each back
yard, the rental homes were also
well-maintained and got a fresh
coat of paint and new wallpaper
every two years. In the village of
Roebling, there were also schools,
stores, athletic fields, a Boy Scout
hut, a bowling alley, an auditorium/theater, a library, a bank, an
abundance of churches and a
plethora of taverns.
The main gate building was the
hub of the company, Millen says.
“This is where the payroll was
done, there was a switchboard operator here, and even a jail house.
So it feels right to be in this building. We had a grand opening last
year when we took over the main
gate building but now it feels good
to open our doors to the public,
give them something to see and do.
We were in a beautiful, but empty
facility.”
The Roebling Museum is the
most recent stop in a string of museums and historic associations
Millen has worked for. She began
her museum career at the Thomas
Clark House at Princeton Battlefield. “I’ve worked in numerous
museums in New York and New
York City, but perhaps the largest
was the New York State Historical
Association in Cooperstown. Most
recently, I was at the National Con-

Millen’s late father was the major history buff in the family. She
says he worked for years for the
State of New Jersey department of
parks and recreation. But history
and old movies were his passion.
Her mother was a nurse at Trenton
Psychiatric Hospital.
“I loved history too, and in fact it
was about the only thing I was interested in,” she says. “It’s still the
same. History is all I read and all I
do. I’ve written two books about
19th century history, one about
baseball during the Civil War.
A special exhibit explores the social history of the village of Roebling, one of the most
intact company towns
in existence, founded
in the early 20th century to house the workers
for the Roebling

A
fter graduating from Ewing
High School in 1975, Millen married her high school sweetheart,
Brian, and worked at various jobs
while raising a family. Then when
the children were older, she pursued a degree in American Studies
at State University of New York,
Albany, graduating in 1997. She also did some graduate work at the
College of New Jersey, and from
2001 to 2004 taught at Notre Dame
High School in Lawrence.
Husband Brian works in the athletic department at the Lawrenceville School. Daughter Tiffany will
soon graduate from Rutgers, and
son Brian has a degree from the
Rochester Institute of Technology
in green and industrial design.

“Both of my kids have always
loved that mom works in the museum,” Millen says. “They’ve always loved the special events, and
I also make them volunteer.”
Millen, who has been with the
museum just about two years, wasn’t quite sure how much wire rope
and bridge engineering would appeal to her personally. “The subject
matter is still new to me, so right
now it’s all fascinating, but I never
thought wire rope would be so interesting,” she says. “I’m still
learning but this summer I’ll be
working on and preparing school
programs so I’ll really need to understand it. There’s always new
stuff to learn. I’m especially interested in Washington Roebling,
John Roebling’s eldest son, because he was in the Civil War, at
Gettysburg — and I’m a Civil War
buff. I’m sure there will be lots of
great side stories to tell.”
The main story, of course, is
about the German-born John A.
Roebling, who failed at farming
when he and his brother first came
to the United States, but flourished
with the knowledge of architecture, engineering, and bridge design he brought from Europe.
“His most iconic image is the
Brooklyn Bridge, but John Roebling didn’t live to see its completion,” Millen says.
He was standing on a pier when
a ferry crashed into it, setting off a
chain reaction that toppled some
logs, which crushed his feet. His
toes had to be amputated, but Roebling neglected to have the injury
treated (he self-treated with “water
therapy”), and he died of tetanus
soon after. His son, Washington,
and daughter-in-law, Emily, continued the work on the Brooklyn
Bridge.
There had been successes before
that famous span, all of which
owed their creation to Roebling’s
famous wire rope, which he per-
fected just as the nation was becoming industrialized.
“Wire rope was needed for all
purposes: telegraph wire, electrical
wire, elevator cables, skyscrapers,
all kinds of uses,” Millen says.
“John A. Roebling’s Sons Company also made the wire rope for the
Golden Gate Bridge, the George
Washington Bridge, and the Manhattan Bridge. The company made
the aircraft cable that went into
Lindbergh’s plane.”
Visitors to the museum will see
in the timeline what was going on
in the nation and how it parallels
the story of the Roeblings. “Roebling engineering is in the spotlight,” Millen says.

Not a Violin in Sight, But Sometimes a Cello
I
n 1996 esteemed guitar
teacher John Sutherland singled
out four of his students at the University of Georgia in Athens and
encouraged them to form a guitar
quartet. A dozen years later, he told
the Athens Banner-Herald that he
was surprised that the ensemble
was still together. “I could tell from
day one that they were talented. I
thought that they had potential, but
when you’ve got four guys, it’s
hard to hold a band together for that
long.”
Guitarists Kyle Dawkins, Brian
Smith, Phil Snyder, and Jason
Solomon are still together as the
Georgia Guitar Quartet (GGQ), a
name that Sutherland suggested.
They perform on Monday, July 19,
in Richardson Auditorium on the
Princeton campus as part of the
Princeton University Summer
Chamber Concerts series. “We
play hollow guitars with nylon
strings,” Snyder says in a telephone interview from Georgia.”
We sit when we perform and rest
our right foot on a stool.” Snyder
distinguishes between the guitars
GGQ plays and acoustic guitars.
“By ‘acoustic guitar’ we usually
mean a guitar with steel strings,
played standing up. Our guitars are
small, and comfortable to play. You
can wrap your arms around them.”
Three of the GGQ members
play standard six-string guitars.
Brian Smith plays a seven-string
guitar, where the range of the instrument is extended both at the
bottom and at the top. “Playing piano music transcribed for guitars
made us use the seven-string guitar,” Snyder explains. “Really low
notes are outside the normal guitar
range, and piano music sounded
wrong when it was transposed up
an octave.
“The early days are now a blur,”
says Snyder. “It was 14 years ago.
We got started when I was a sophomore, and the others were freshmen. Sutherland invited us to come
to his house and play for him. We
ordered a Scarlatti piece, ‘The
Cat’s Fugue,’ online because we
liked the name, and we played it for
Sutherland. The story is that Scarlatti’s cat, Pulcinella, was supposed to have come into the room
and walked over the keyboard from
left to right. Scarlatti liked the
melody and wrote a piece based on
it.” That piece is included in the
Princeton concert.
Sutherland suggested that the
ensemble find small pieces, “jewels, either known or not so well
known,” Snyder calls them, to
build a repertoire. One of them was
Edvard Grieg’s “Anitra’s Dance.”
It, too, is on the Princeton program,
as are works by Michael Praetorius, Frederic Chopin, Sergei
Prokofiev, and Hector Villa-Lobos.
The Prokofiev piece is a cello
sonata where Snyder abandons his
guitar to play the solo part on the
cello. On occasion he has played
both cello and guitar in a single
concert. “That’s hard,” he says.
“It’s easier to switch from guitar to
cello than from cello to guitar. The
by Elaine Strauss
cello’s big sound makes it difficult
to switch to a quieter instrument.
“At first we played mostly
arrangements by other people,”
Snyder says, “and very few of our
own pieces. Now, it’s mostly our
own pieces.” The Princeton program opens with a piece by Kyle
Dawkins; after intermission it includes a composition by Brian
Smith.
GGQ’s first gig came after its
members enrolled in an ensemble
class at the university; they played
in the class recital. Soon afterwards
they were invited to perform at the
Georgia Museum of Art on campus. “We papered the town with
brochures,” Snyder says, “and
drew a packed house. It was standing room only.”
While they were still in college,
the quartet expanded their reach to
clubs and bars in the area. Their reception surprised them. “On stage
we could hear glasses clinking and
beer being poured,” Snyder says.
“But there was no talking. People
were actually listening.”
For a while, the ensemble acted
as its own agent. “We were undergraduates,” Snyder says. “We didn’t have to make a living. The guitar quartet was so much fun we didn’t want to give it up, and eventually, we got professional management.”
A
ll four members of the ensemble majored in guitar. All four
now teach guitar on the college level. Their ages now range from 33 to
35. All are married; two of them
have children.
Kyle Dawkins grew up in
Gainesville, Georgia. In addition to
GGQ, he also performs electronic
music, using a laptop computer. He
belongs to an ensemble called
“Maps and Transit.”
Dawkins teaches at Gainesville
State College, in Gainesville, and
at Piedmont College in Demorest,
Georgia. His wife, Julie Phillips, is
art editor of the Athens BannerHerald. The couple lives in Athens,
Georgia.
Brian Smith grew up in Augusta,
Georgia. His other instruments are
percussion and bass. He plays electric guitar with a jazz group “The
Odd Trio.” Smith teaches at LaGrange College in LaGrange,
Georgia; and Atlanta Christian
College. He and his wife, Natalie, a
flutist, perform as a duo, the Musicsmiths. They live in Athens,
Georgia, and have a three-year-old
daughter.
Phil Snyder grew up Greenville,
South Carolina. Like Smith, Snyder teaches at LaGrange College.
His wife, Cori, works as a music
therapist at Children’s Healthcare
of Atlanta. They live in Peachtree
City, Georgia.
Jason Solomon grew up Lawrenceville, Georgia. In addition to
performing on guitar, he is a music
theorist and teaches at Agnes Scott
College in Decatur, Georgia. His
wife, Qiao, is a violin professor at
Agnes Scott. Their son is six weeks
old. They live in Decatur.
Solomon makes no secret of his
narrow escape from an early end to
his career as a guitarist. At the beginning of 2003, about six months
after his master’s recital the thumb
of his right hand began pulling in
toward his palm as he played. (The
right hand uses the pick or strums
the strings, while the left hand produces the desired pitches.) “My
ability to communicate musically
through the guitar — something
that I valued more than just about
anything — was in danger of vanishing completely,” he says. “My
greatest fear was that I would no
longer be able to play my part in the
Georgia Guitar Quartet. The other
three quartet members are my
greatest friends, and the thought of
having to let them down haunted
me.”
Solomon told his story in “What
Every Guitarist Should Know: A
Guide to the Prevention and Rehabilitation of Focal Hand Dystonia,”
an article that appeared in a 2007 issue of the “Guitar Review.” The link
to it can be found on the GGQ website, georgiaguitarquartet.com, by
clicking on Solomon’s biography.
A striking feature of Solomon’s
experience is the extent to which it
mirrors those of injured musicians
who have regained their careers by
following the wholesome practices
of piano pedagogue Dorothy Taubman. She stressed the importance
of relearning how to play the instrument, of avoiding tension, and
of using gravity, arm weight, and
forearm rotation to heal or prevent

injury. Her insights are carried on
at the Princeton symposiums of the
Golandsky Institute established by
Taubman successor Edna Golandsky. The institute finishes its summer residency and international piano festival in Princeton on Saturday, July 17 (U.S. 1, July 7).
Like many injured musicians,
Solomon tried for a year to control
his problem by systematic, strenuous practice. It was unavailing. He
pursued a two-year odyssey to doctors of sports medicine, an orthopedic surgeon, physical therapists,
and an acupuncturist. That brought
no solution. Finally, he managed to
diagnose the problem himself by
mining the Internet.
F
ollowing the advice of Nancy Byl of the University of California San Francisco’s department of
physical therapy and rehabilitation
science, Solomon persisted in an
arduous program of retraining.
Now he participates fully with his
colleagues in the quartet, sharing in
their explorations of music.
The quartet works with modern
dance groups and visual artists and
has collaborated with lyric baritone Robert Sims. They have released four recordings.
GGQ exported its aesthetic fearlessness when the ensemble performed with Verge, an Atlantabased dance group, in a work that
required both dancers and instrumentalists to improvise. “Sometimes, we started from the choreography; sometimes, it was the music,” Snyder says. “We worked it
John Sutherland, the teacher who inspired the quartet, suggested
that the ensemble find small pieces, ‘jewels, either known or not
so well known,’ says member Phil Snyder, to build a repertoire.
out in rehearsals. It’s hard to pin
down what key the music’s in. We
used the key of C, but avoided the
normal conclusions in the music.
We tried to keep music the same
length all the time so the dancers
would know for how long they had
to improvise. They managed.” The
resulting piece, “Pan,” appears on
GGQ’s album “Puzzle.”
“That experience made our normal playing feel very tight,” Snyder says. “We liked that, and we let
our playing from notated music become tighter.”
The GGQ avoids amplification
during concerts whenever possible. “It’s unavoidable outdoors,”
Snyder says. “But it makes the music sound rough indoors unless the
acoustics are exactly right.”
In the future the Georgia Guitar
Quartet is interested in spreading
its enthusiasm to guitar enthusiasts
of all ages. The inspiration for this
project comes from the GGQ’s
2001 invitation to expert guitarist
Christopher Parkening’s 27th master class in Bozeman, Montana.
“For a long time, we’ve been thinking about setting up a summer guitar camp,” says Snyder. “It would
start at an intermediate level. We’d
like an attractive outdoor setting,
someplace where field trips and
hiking are possible. There won’t be
any lower age limit; I’ve seen some
eight-year old guitarists who have
really set things on fire. And there
won’t be an upper age limit, either.”

Super 70s: Off Their Rockers & Still Kicking
I
f life begins at 50, it sure
doesn’t stop at 70.
To suggest otherwise can be
fighting words. Consider the case
of Rose Nini, the former dean of
corporate and community programs at Mercer County Community College. Now 78, Nini filed a
suit against her former — and longtime — employer five years ago,
claiming that MCCC president
Robert Rose told her then that she
“had no business working at [her]
age,” among other alleged slurs.
Nini had worked for the college
for 26 years and as a non-faculty
employee was subject to serial contract renewal, according to the filing. According to court documents,
Nini claimed in 2005 that Rose had
told her that her contract would not
be renewed. Nini also claimed that
Rose and others routinely made fun
of some older employees’ ages,
even referring to them as “dead
weight,” and commenting that people “lose their effectiveness” after
25 years on a job.
In June the Supreme Court in
Trenton ruled that it is illegal to refuse contract renewal because of an
employee’s age, and that the law
applies as it would to “at will” employees.
Nini’s attorney, Steven Blader
of Quakerbridge Road-based
Szaferman, Lakind, Blumstein, &
Blader, stated after the decision
that Nini’s case changes the law offering protection for older contract
workers.
The case had taken numerous
turns until it got to the state
Supreme Court. Originally, a trial
judge ruled that the college had
given Nini ample time to learn her
contract would not be renewed.
That decision was swiftly overturned by an appellate judge who
equated the non-renewal with termination.
Nini declined to be interviewed

for and did not say what she
is doing now that she no
longer works for MCCC, but
she is no stranger to news stories centered on her age.
Long before her suit against
Mercer, she attained celebrity as a trailblazer for older
students seeking higher education. She went back to college in her 40s and in 1976
became the oldest female
graduate of Princeton University.
She went to work for MCCC and became dean of the
corporate and community
programs division, serving in
that role for about 20 years.
During her tenure she built an
impressive enterprise for
corporate education and
training.
Ingrid and
Marvin Reed
D
o you ever see yourself “retired?”
Ingrid Reed leans back and
doesn’t, for a second, know how to
answer. It is exactly one week since
she formally retired from her 14year job as policy analyst and director of the Eagleton Institute of
Politics at Rutgers, and she has just
seen her husband, Marvin, off to
his latest round of physical therapy
for a hip replacement at Merwick.
It takes her a moment before she
admits, “I don’t know what that
means, to be retired.”
Neither Ingrid, 74, nor Marvin
Reed, who will be 79 at the end of
July, probably ever will know retirement in the sense that some
people think of it. There will be no
front porches with rocking chairs
and blankets. There might be no
skiing either, though neither has
or my 70th birthday, I looked forward to proudly proclaiming my age in order
to bask in the obligatory “I would never have
known,” and “You don’t look that old.” I
planned my replies: Should I credit my Pilates training? Or admit that I take after my
always boyish-looking father?
Seventy is the new 60 would be my
mantra.
It didn’t turn out that way.
Time was irrelevant in my 20s and was
still a friend in my 30s. Time seemed infinite
in my 40s and all things were still possible in
my 50s. Even in my 60s I thought I had time
to accomplish lifelong goals.
Now that I’ve passed over to the other side
of 69, I can testify that 70 hit me hard.
At 70 I can’t procrastinate.
At 70 you face the brick wall. However
you want to improve your soul, whatever
you hope to pass on to the next generations,
whatever good you will do in the world — if
you thought you would have time for it later,
now is later. You need to start immediately.
The writer of Psalm 90 pleads: “The days
of our life are 70 years, or perhaps 80, if we
are strong. They are soon gone, and we fly
away. So teach us to count our days that we
may gain a wise heart.”
I’m giving myself the next five years for
long-term goals: write my book, renovate
our house, exercise to stay healthy, and,
hardest of all, deal with a Cellar Full of Stuff
so my children won’t have to deal with it.
Sure, I might live 26 more years, if I take after my mother. But I have already outlived
my father.
And if it’s hard to stop procrastinating at
70, imagine how decrepitude can sap the will
at 80 and beyond.
To set the stage I planned to spend part of
my birthday day at the Princeton Cemetery,
the one smack in the middle of town, across
ruled it out. One of the things aging
gives you, Ingrid says, is a sense of
caution about things like skiing, especially in the wake of a shiny new
titanium hip.
But that sense of caution also
eventually seeps into your work,
and that, ultimately, is what led her
to retire from her job. She found
herself wondering if she should
start certain new projects because
she didn’t know whether she would
be able to finish them. She realized
that she was not fully engaged, just
mostly. So she worked out a deal
with Eagleton to work part-time for
her last six months while she encouraged Rutgers to “invest its
money in someone else.”
Ultimately, she says, this is what
retirement means to her. It means
not getting paid to go to a job and,
ideally, getting a pension that allows you to try new things. Or, to
continue with old things. Both
Reeds have no shortage of either.
They only hope that they
have the discipline to be retired well.
Music and the arts are
their main shared passion,
particularly opera. Ingrid
considers herself a minor
opera groupie to a couple
singers she has known here
and in New York, where the
Reeds have a studio apartment in addition to their
house on Cameron Court.
They even have a young
opera singer staying with
them here.
They’ve also developed a
taste for jazz. Marvin says it
is an extension of what he
and his wife have always enjoyed
— new things, many of which
build from existing joys. Like travel, for instance. The Reeds just returned from Turkey and hope to go
to Rome this autumn. That’s significant because as two people heavily involved in politics, they’ve
never been able to travel during
election season.
This is part of what Ingrid refers
to as their commitment to each other’s retirement: The discipline to
enjoy each other’s company in the
face of their other obligations.
Marvin, former mayor of
Princeton Borough, remains actively involved with local and regional policy. He is on the Princeton Regional Planning Board,
where he is a major supporter of the
bus rapid transit system (or BRT)
to replace the Dinky train; chairman of the borough’s Master Plan
Committee, whose projects include redeveloping Palmer Square
and Spring Street; a member of the
borough Planning Board; co-chair
of the New Jersey chapter of the
national Congress for the New Urbanism, which promotes sustainable, mixed-use communities;
chair of the Redevelopment Task
Force for New Jersey Future, a
statewide citizens group supporting smart growth; and a member of
the state Local Unit Alignment,
Reorganization and Consolidation
Commission, which promotes
shared services and consolidation
in the state’s 566 municipalities.
Outside of politics, he is a
trustee of the Princeton Public Library and a member of the Mercer

BARBARA FIGGE FOX
from the Princeton Public Library. Partly I
wanted to honor my high school English
teacher, Frances, who took a liking to the
cemetery when she visited us some 20 years
ago. She’s been a good role model in how to
gracefully accept the limitations of growing
old.
Mostly I figured it would be a quiet place
to pray and meditate and, literally, contemplate my mortality, not in a morbid way but
in a “let’s get the show on the road” kind of
way.
I picked up a cemetery guide and wandered around in the patch nearest to Wiggins
Street. Twenty-five years ago, I had recognized only the historic names. Now, within a
20-foot square, I found three people I had
known or reported on.
Point taken.
Settling in a shady spot, I looked for answers in Rabbi Harold Kushner’s “Living a
Life That Matters,” which I’d just checked
out of the library. Kushner and I are on the
same wave length. He tells how Jacob
prayed for advance warning that his time was
coming to an end, that he might share last
thoughts with those who would carry his
name, his memory, and his values into the
next generation.
Okay. Got that part. But I’m saying that
elders of whatever age shouldn’t wait until
the end. In her 96th year, my mother was OK
one day and gone the next. I knew her values,
I’d helped her write down her memories, and
I was able to honor her claim that everything
in her chock-full house had value. But only
after my sister and I had finished selling and
giving away most everything did we find my
mother’s carefully written inventory of the
provenance and value of each object. If we
elders have something to say, we should do it
now, not wait until our last breath.
Warns Kushner: “Most people are not
afraid of dying, they are afraid of not having
lived — the dread of insignificance, the notion that we will be born and live and one day
die and none of it will matter.”
H
ere we differ. If I thought my life until
now hasn’t mattered I would really be frantic. I’ve been blessed with many opportunities and — within the limits of job and family obligations — have tried to use them.
What I do fear is the very real chance that I
will fritter away the rest of my time.
Yes, I want to enjoy my leisure like any
other retiree — travel, read, attend lectures,
visit grandchildren. But turning 70, for me,
has got to resemble the biggest New Year’s
resolution ever made, and somehow in my
elderly, supposedly wiser self, I must find the
discipline to keep it.
Self discipline is not my strong point. I
thrive on short deadlines, wilt on long ones,
and habitually bite off more than I can chew.
It runs in the family. When I cleaned out my
father’s files, virtually every letter started
with an apology for not responding more
promptly. A cancer research scientist and a
medical school professor, my father always
had more ideas than time. After he died, my

have time for it later, now is later.
mother dealt with loneliness by keeping so
busy that sometimes, when her grandchildren offered to visit, she had to turn them
down.
My retirement isn’t the cold turkey kind.
To keep my brain working I still freelance
the occasional article to U.S. 1. Warned by
other too-busy retirees, I started out by trying
to limit my activities to those that could
make a difference in the world, but, whoosh,
before I could turn around, I had a time management problem.
To represent the newspaper I serve on the
Princeton Regional Chamber board and attend high-tech entrepreneurial meetings. For
my church I joined the board of Not in Our
Town, which works to combat prejudice and
racism, and pitched in on several big projects.
The biggest time sink is my blog, Princeton Comment. It makes me happy, but it consumes me. I’ll get up in the morning, read the
newspaper, have a Thought that relates to my

Fund Advisory Committee of the
NJ Community Foundation.
Marvin used to operate Princeton Media Associates, a public relations firm that concentrated on
state government and political affairs, after a long career as communications director for the NJ Education Association in Trenton. Despite needing a new hip, he says
surgery and rehab have not slowed
him down. He’s a regular at the
Princeton Y gym, which he says
has helped him adjust to his new
part. “I have good muscle tone in
my legs,” he says. And he expects
to get back to pumping iron soon.
Ingrid, who formally retired
from Eagleton on June 30, says she
is “phasing out.” She no longer gets
paid by Rutgers, but she is finishing off a few projects for Eagleton,
including a report due out this fall
on what newspapers actually teach
us about candidates in the months
leading up to elections.
The short answer is, not much.
Part of Eagleton’s findings, she
says, is that the state’s five major
dailies generally cover the gubernatorial campaigns and their messages, but not so much the candidates themselves. We hear where
the candidates are and what their
platforms say, but we hear little debate and analysis. The problem is
especially bad with respect to the
state legislature, she says. The legislature is as powerful as the governor, yet there is almost no coverage
from large dailies (because the
races are too local for them), nor
small weeklies (because the races
are too regional for them).
Ingrid wants to fix this problem,
and her most ambitious post-Eagleton project is njspotlight.com.
This news website has been live for
almost two months, and Ingrid
Reed is helping to develop it with
some of her many contacts in the
press — a Rolodex, she admits, one
of the advantages of her experience
and her former position.
More than simply a website that
acts as a community forum,
NJSpotlight is looking to be a web
content provider of policy and government-centric investigative journalism for the state. It even employs actual investigative journalists with a real salary, and the aim is
to shed as much light as possible on
the state’s 120 legislators that few
people ever talk about publicly.
The site came arose from talks
with editors Dusty McNichol and
John Mooney of the Star-Ledger
and John O’Brien, executive director of the new Jersey Press Association. Reed says the group put a
business plan together and, after
some convincing that the idea is a

sound business, got a $350,000
grant from the Knight Foundation,
then added $200,000 from the
Community Foundation of New
Jersey and another $50,000 from
the William Penn Foundation.
Reed says the site’s biggest
challenge is the one that has
plagued newspapers and print media since the Internet moved into
town: how to make money in print
journalism. These early grants —
the site is an LLC, not a nonprofit
— are in part designed to help get
the word out about the site.
Reed will also continue doing
some things she’s been doing. She
will still chair the state Local
Ethics Task Force, which was created under Governor Jon Corzine
to provide oversight of officials in
the state. Governor Chris Christie
has maintained the task force, but
Reed says it has been badly managed by the state and has almost no
staff. “Looming for me is to write
that report,” she says.
She will also stay on as a member of the board of trustees of NJ
Future, a nonprofit group that
seeks better use and redevelopment of communities.
With so much to do, Reed has to
remind herself of the importance of
time. “I wonder if I will have the
flexibility — and the discipline —
to do some new things plus travel
more with Marv,” she says.
But, like her husband, Ingrid
Reed plans to capitalize on certain
advantages of her post-work years.
Namely, the time to connect with
family she never knew through her
grandfather’s
autobiography,
which she wants to translate. Born
in Pennsylvania, Reed is the first in
her family to be born outside Germany. Her parents immigrated individually, then met and married
here. They were the only ones to
come to America.
Ingrid was born in 1936 as relations with Germany deteriorated.
By the time she was old enough to
connect with her family there,
World War II was on, and when that
ended, her family was stranded in
what became East Germany.
With the Cold War long over and
Germany long-since unified, she
has been able to stay connected
with some of her family. “But it’s
different, not having had that as a
child,” she says. “That natural development is gone.”
Reed, who was born speaking
German, never knew her grandparents. She taught her mother and father (a fertilizer manufacturer)
English, but she is no longer fluent
in German. She speaks enough to
get her through much of her grand-
father’s memoir, though she admits
that translating it will be a lot of
work requiring a good dictionary
and a healthy investment of time.
She’s also a little squeamish
about what might be written in
those pages, given the place and
time they describe. But more than
anything, she says it will just be the
discipline to sit down and do it.
Reed grew up in Vineland and
studied economics at Princeton
University. She started her professional life at ETS managing proposal contracts. In 1972 she tried
her hand at municipal politics, running an unsuccessful bid for a seat
on the West Windsor Township
Committee. She did, however, get
appointed to the Mercer County
Planning Board a few years later,
and she stayed on it for 18 years.
She also worked for the state DEP.
Reed became the vice president
for public affairs and was corporate
secretary of the Rockefeller University in New York City. She later
became the assistant dean of
Princeton University’s Woodrow
Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, where she also directed the Rockefeller Public Service Awards program. She took her
post at Eagleton in 1996.
Marvin Reed was born in
Vineland and, like his future wife
(of 50 years now), grew up there.
Marvin’s father managed the
Vineland Egg Auction. Marvin
went on to Rutgers, where he got
his bachelor’s in English and, later,
a master’s in education. He started
out as a teacher before being drafted into the Army in 1952. When he
got back, he joined the NJEA,
where he worked in the communications department for more than
30 years.
He started Princeton Media Associates, and several years later he
got into borough politics. He
served as a council member and
then mayor in Princeton Borough
from 1984 to 2003.
The Reeds’secret to avoiding irrelevance, then, is to keep making
new memories, and both are willing to be a little selfish about it.
“When you have a position for
which you get paid, you make a
promise,” Ingrid says. You promise
your time and energy, a certain level of devotion to the responsibilities that come with that position.
But that part of their lives is done.
“We’ve got to make time for ourselves,” she says. “The structure of
my life is our life now.”

ill Lockwood’s
first foray into arts programming came in Year
TK when he was an undergraduate and booked
the Kingston Trio into
Dillon Gym. More than a
half century after his college graduation, Lockwood, 73, is still booking
talent at Princeton’s McCarter Theater and other venues.
Lockwood has been the special
programming director for McCarter Theater’s classical music,
dance, jazz, world music and world
dance, and special events programs
since 1963. Lockwood was with
Lincoln Center from 1965 to 1990,
first as assistant director of programming and beginning in 1970
as executive director of programming. In that capacity, he served as
the director of Lincoln Center’s
Mostly Mozart Festival and also
administered other regular performance programs including
Great Performers Series and Lincoln Center’s Out-of-Doors and
Serious Fun Festival, a series of
performance art and new music series.
He has also served as a consultant to the New Jersey Performing
Arts Center in the development of
its artistic and business plans. In
1995 he was named principal programming associate of the $165
million center, which opened 1997.
He continues to split his time between McCarter and NJPAC. In his
spare time he is an avid tennis player, gardener, and loyal son to his
99-year-old mother. He continues
to attend performances in search of
discovering new talent. He also
sees many films that may eventually make it to his ever popular Second Chance Cinema, sponsored by
the Princeton Adult School.
Mel Leipzig

Seward Johnson
J.
Seward Johnson, 80, has
enjoyed an illustrious career as a
sculptor with his works of art being
widely shown throughout the United States, Asia, Australia, Russia,
Italy, and Brazil. Johnson is well
known for his highly realistic
sculptures of ordinary people doing ordinary things; such as the
man on a bench reading the New
York Times in Princeton, and the
father teaching his daughter to ride
a bike on the streets of Hamilton.
You will also find Johnson’s
more spectacular visions on view
at the 37-acre Grounds For Sculpture artpark in Hamilton. These include his 25-foot-tall sailor and
nurse kissing sculpture from his
“Icons Revisited” series and several elaborate tableaux inspired by
Impressionist paintings. This latter
series — with life-sized bronze figures placed amid cunning landscaping — allow art viewers to literally walk into a Monet or a
Renoir.
Johnson also has made his mark
as an entrepreneurial philanthropist. With the creation of
Grounds For Sculpture, the world
famous sculpture park; Rats, the
five-star rated restaurant that adjoins the park; and a magnificent
collection of works of art by many
artists valued at
$40 million sited
along the highways of Hamilton,
in hospitals, museums, and elsewhere, Johnson
has literally transformed the New
Jersey landscape.
Recent projects
include the placement of a bronze
sculpture
in
Shanghai, China;
an exhibition of
16 works in Albany, NY; and the
siting of his 70 by
l7-foot emerging
giant sculpture in
Rome, Italy.
el Leipzig, 75, a professor of painting and art history at Mercer County Community
College, continues to pursue his
two passions: painting and teaching. Born in Brooklyn in 1935, he
has had more than 40 one-man
shows during his career, with more
exhibits scheduled for the fall of
this year through the end of 2011.
Among his upcoming exhibits
are two one-man shows, the first
entitled “Artists, Architects and
Others,” at Gallery Henoch, the
New York City gallery that represents him, from September 16 to
October 9, and the second at the
Noyes Museum in Oceanville, NJ,
from January through April, 2011.
Additionally his work will be featured at the Stockton State College
Gallery from January to February,
2011, and in a show at the Cape
Cod Museum of Art in Dennis,
MA, from September to December, 2011, featuring three New Jersey artists who paint on Cape Cod.
Leipzig is one of seven painters
included in the 2010 book, “Selected Contemporary American Figurative Painters,” edited by Qimin
Liu, which introduces contemporary American realist painting to
China. His career will be highlighted on New Jersey Network’s “State
of the Arts” television show, expected to air in January, 2011.
Dick Druckman
What kid hasn’t dreamed of a
job that could take him to major
sports events throughout the
world? Dick Druckman, 71, left a
35-year career in the pharmaceutical industry — retiring as VP,
strategic planning, Bristol-Myers
Squibb — to pursue his dream of
becoming a sports photographer.
His Gold Medal Impressions
Gallery at TK Princeton-Hightstown Road opened in 2009, and
features thousands of different
sports images — many of which
have been featured in Sports Illustrated, Parade Magazine, Squash
Magazine, the Associated Press,
USA Today, and newspapers
throughout the country. He has
photographed ten Olympics and
eight Super Bowls. Some of his
most popular shots include

Peter Cantu
When the Princeton Medical
Center weighed Plainsboro as a
potential site for its relocation, it
didn’t have to spend much time
figuring out who to contact. This
year marks Peter Cantu’s 30th
year as mayor of Plainsboro
Township (non-consecutive) and
his 36th as a member of the
Township Committee.
Since 1977, his first year as
mayor, Cantu, 70, above right,
has overseen most of the evolution of Plainsboro from rural
farmland to a blend of fast-growing Princeton suburb and hightech business stronghold (and
soon to be the new home of the
Princeton hospital). Cantu also
has overseen a major effort to
preserve township land. To date
the township has more than half
of its land in preservation.
Retired from IBM, where he
worked more than 30 years, Cantu has served as chairman of the
Middlesex County’s Agricultural Development Board, as president of the NJ State League of
Municipalities, and as executive
director of KMM Inc., Middlesex County’s Transportation
Management Association.
Marvin Gardner
Marvin Gardner, 74, is best
known in the area as chairman of
the West Windsor Township
Planning Board, but that is only
one of his roles.
Gardner last year was named
to the state Commission on
Higher Education by Governor
Jon Corzine, for a term that ex-
Michael Jordan’s final game in
Chicago, Wayne Gretzky’s final
face-off in New York, and Lance
Armstrong’s seventh consecutive
Tour de France victory.
Sheila Coutin
P
otter Sheila Coutin first
turned to art not as a way to while
away her spare time but rather to
deal with the stress of her day job.
Having spent most of her career as
an operating room nurse, including
15 years at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Coutin then
took on the challenge of running an
inner city AIDS clinic in New
Brunswick.
In the 10 years on that job she
discovered that throwing around
lumps of clay became, she says, “a
great way to deal with the pain and
frustration of watching beautiful
young people suffer and die from
this devastating disease, and a system that, at least in the early days,
didn’t seem to care about them.”
In her retirement she became a
pires in 2014. He also is a member of the board of trustees at
Mercer County Community College, where he serves on the operations committeeto develop
policy for the college. He also
serves on MCCC’s finance committee and the government, law,
and public affairs committee.
Gardner is a former attorney
and teacherwho earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at the
City University of New York. He
also earned his law degree and
his master’s of law degree from
Brooklyn Law School. He was
one of the first non-elected officials to serve on the Planning
Board in New York City.
Master Gardener volunteer (after
the Rutgers Extension Service 40hour course), took pottery classes
at Raritan Valley Community College, and continues to attend workshops at Peter’s Valley Craft Village.
Her work is eclectic, she says,
mainly because she would soon
lose interest sitting at the wheel
making 50 mugs or bowls. Instead
she makes both functional and
sculptural pieces, much of which is
designed for gardens. She has won
awards at the Artsbridge Annual
Art Show in Lambertville and the
prestigious Phillips Mill Art Show
in New Hope, PA.
She also works in raku, a fastfiring Japanese technique known
for its beautiful lusters and metallic
effects. She has discovered
through clay that she is drawn to
fantasy and intrigued by the combinations and connections between
plant, animal, and human forms.
The possibilities, she says, are limited only by her imagination.

Working in the Public Interest
In Business:
Maurice Perilli
Carol Herring
L
ots of people join boards of
directors; most people quit them
as soon as they can. Maurice
Perilli joined the board of Roma
Bank in 1970. was appointed
chairman in 1991, and still holds
that position, at the age of 91.
Born in Trenton, Perilli was indoctrinated into the printing business at the age of seven. He set
type in his father’s small newspaper and commercial printing
business where the family published II Secolo XX, an Italian
weekly.
Now 91, Perilli serves is an active member of the board of directors of the Hamilton YMCA; a Silver Life Member of the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association and
an active member of The Roman
Society. He also serves as a member of the Executive Board of
CIAO, the Committee of ItalianAmerican Organizations in Mercer
County.
After World War II he started
Abco Printing in Hamilton and later bought Commercial Printing
and the Mercer Messenger. Today
Perilli is a member of the Trenton
Economic Development Committee, Trenton Business Assistance
Corporation, the Hamilton Township Redevelopment Authority,
and the Hamilton Partnership.
A past chairman of the board of
Robert Wood Johnson University
Hospital at Hamilton, which he also joined in 1970, he remains a
trustee. He has ceded interest in
one area: His sons now run the
printing businesses.
Bryce Thompson
O
ne of the largest individual
landowners in Princeton, real estate mogul Bryce Thompson started Thompson Realty in 1958 and
still operates it from his family’s
six-generation home at 195 Nassau
Street. Thompson, 77, has owned
as many as 9,000 acres at a time,
but he is now down to about 5,000.
“There’s only so much I can do,”
he says. “I still like to use my mind
but don’t have the energy to run
here and run there.”
Thompson, above, prefers to
sell his land to either governmental
bodies or conservation groups who
will preserve open space rather
C
than build houses on it, even
though he doesn’t make as much
on the deal. Thompson says he is
happy to see some of his former
land used for parks, schools, and
right of way. He sold three of the
100 parcels that comprise Mercer
County Park; he sold Washington
Township 70 acres for a new high
school; and he was responsible for
several farms that provided rights
of way along the New Jersey Turnpike for a gas pipeline and high
tension wires.
Calling himself a natural risktaker, Thompson says he doesn’t
worry so much about trends. “I
didn’t have anything when I started. If in five years I had to start
over, I would do it, and it wouldn’t
break my heart or break my spirit.”
Bill Kraft
F
rom Army cryptographer to
RCAAstro programmer to over 30
years at ETS as a systems designer,
Bill Kraft has had a career of solving problems.
When now-retired Bishop
Melick Belshaw of the NJ Episcopal Diocese asked Kraft to solve
the problem of needing quick, accurate election results at diocese
conventions with hundreds of voting delegates, Bill came up with a
solution called VoteScan, a software/optical scanner/paper trail
system. In the last 18 years, the
business has grown to help dioceses nationwide with their convention and bishop’s elections. Kraft,
75, has added a new client, the Diocese of Washington, DC, which
had tried other electronic systems
without satisfaction. They will use
VoteScan in January of 2011.

arol Herring has been
president of the Rutgers University
Foundation,
the
university’s
fundraising arm, since 2005. At
age 70 she is also executive vice
president for development and
alumni relations for Rutgers.
Herring’s fundraising career includes significant and successful
leadership positions with the Asia
Society in New York, Barnard College, and Princeton University. At
Barnard from 1990 to 2000, Herring managed a capital campaign
that exceeded its goal by 60 percent, raising $162 million. At
Princeton, where she worked from
1975 to 1990, she served first as assistant to the president for special
projects and then as director of
leadership gifts.
A graduate of Wellesley College, Class of 1961, Herring lives
in Princeton with her husband, a
physical oceanographer. They
have three grown children.
David McAlpin
P
astor David McAlpin celebrated a milestone this year — the
60th anniversary of his graduation
from Princeton University.
But at 82, McAlpin isn’t sitting
around counting the years. He is
too busy running the Trenton chapter of Habitat for Humanity, which
he founded in 1986.
Taking a different path from
many of his Princeton classmates
— not entering the high-roller
business and tech fields —
McAlpin chose a life in the service
of others. But then, that is part of
his lineage.
“I was very much aware of my
father’s life as a philanthropist,” he
says. The elder McAlpin was involved in the founding of the Museum of Modern Art and sat on the
boards of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the New York Philharmonic, and the Metropolitan
Opera.
David, the son, was influenced
by his father’s involvement and by
theology courses he took in college. He earned a master of divinity in 1953 from Union Seminary.
Since founding Habitat in Trenton 24 years ago, McAlpin has
been involved with the establish-
ment and operations of several city
organizations, including the East
Trenton Collaborative; Better
Community Housing of Trenton, a
subsidiary of Martin House Foundation; CityWorks, a nonprofit
commercial developer; Isles; the
City of Trenton; and HomeFront.
Habitat for Humanity-Trenton
has built more than 80 homes in
East Trenton. McAlpin says the
very first family just completed
paying off their 20-year mortgage.
McAlpin remains a Habitat for Humanity board member and is in
charge of church relations.
Scott McVay
S
cott McVay, Princeton University Class of 1955, former executive director of the Geraldine R.
Dodge Foundation and the Robert
Sterling Clark Foundation, remains one of central New Jersey’s
most influential champions of education, animal welfare, and conservation.
McVay has published papers in
Scientific American, Science, and
Natural History magazines on the
subject of whales and led two expeditions to the Alaskan Arctic to
study, record, and film the rare
Bowhead whale. He has also written chapters for books on biophilia,
the humane treatment of all life,
and philanthropy.
He has served on the boards of
the World Wildlife Fund, the
Smithsonian Institution, and the
National Park Foundation among
many others, and has won the Albert Schweitzer Award from the
Animal Welfare Institute and the
Joseph Wood Krutch medal from
the Humane Society of the United
States.
“Since 1963 I have had a strong
engagement with whales and dolphins which led to papers on the
plight of whales (Scientific American), discovery and description of
the Songs of Humpback whales
(Science with R. Payne), and an
initial expedition to study and film
the Bowhead whale in the Arctic
(American Scientist). The second
Arctic expedition led to documentary by National Film board of
Canada,” he says A French film
crew was recently at McVay’s
home filming how the discovery of
the song occurred and its impact on
conservation and music.
McVay and his wife, Hella, cre-
ated a poetry initiative of the
Dodge Foundation in 1986 that led
to four-day biennial Poetry Festivals at Waterloo Village that attracted 18 to 20,000 people and led
to 27 hours for PBS, 21 with Bill
Moyers, that reached an estimated
audience of 80 million.
McVay left Dodge in 1998 and
from 2001 to 2003 served as president of the Chautauqua Institution,
a not-for-profit educational center
in southwestern New York State.
“My wife Hella [a mathematician and teacher, founder of the
Whole Earth Center, and longtime
volunteer with Planned Parenthood] and I are creating a poetry
trail at Green Meadows on the former General Robert Wood Johnson
estate adjoining the D&R Greenway Land Trust,” he says. “The poetry was chosen to reflect the beauty, surprise, mystery, seasonality,
and timelessness in the natural
world from which we arose and
which provides daily nurture.”
Hella is a board member at
Greenway, and Scott is on the
boards of the Knowles Science
Teaching Foundation, the NJN
Foundation, and the Earth Policy
Institute. He has also served as
trustee and president of the New
Jersey Association on Correction;
the Princeton Blairstown Center,
which provides experiential education to inner city youth; and the
Stony Brook Millstone Watershed
Association.
“If one is fortunate, one has
work one enjoys, a good marriage
(which has radiated through all endeavors), and family,” McVay
says. “I have been blessed all ways,
and now that I am retired, my wife
Hella and I are able to pursue common interests in travel and concerns about the planet and humanity.”
Sharon Naeole
S
haron Naeole, 71, is the director of development at the
Princeton Senior Resource Center,
responsible for annual giving,
fundraising events, and planned
giving. She says, “I’m interested in
doing everything I can to help
PSRC grow as it faces the greatest
surge in the population of seniors
ever.” In 1973, at the age of 34, she
earned her bachelor’s in politics
from Princeton University. She also serves on the Alumni Schools
Committee for the Princeton area,
interviewing area high school seniors who are applying to Princeton.
Naeole has a 90-something
mother and an 11-year-old grandson, who, she says, are “both
healthy, active and interesting. I
find that volunteering to drive (my
grandson) to tennis or trumpet lessons a couple of times a week is a
way to help my daughter and sonin-law (Pamela Hughes, senior development officer, Institute for Advanced Study, and husband Brian
Hughes, Mercer County Executive) with their busy schedules, but
best of all, it’s a wonderful way for
me to keep up with my grandson.”
Naeole is a Nordic walker (and
says she is the only one in town that
she knows of) and walks around
town every morning at 5 a.m. She
walked the entire D&R Canal a few
years ago and plans to tackle the
New Jersey shoreline this summer.
Self-described as “a bit of a geek, I
love computer software and spend
a lot of time designing websites,
databases, and publications for
PSRC. I just started a blog which I
expect to go public sometime in July. I garden, sew, knit and generally
love all kinds of handwork.”

Shirley Satterfield
Ann Yasuhara
Though Shirley Satterfield is young In 1984, when some of her colleagues
by the standards of this section (she does not might have been thinking of retiring, Ann
turn 70 until August 18), she stands up to any
oldtimer in terms of knowing the town and
its history.
Six generations of her family have lived
in Princeton. She is a board member of the
Historical Society of Princeton and created
and leads the walking tour of the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood that traces the
African-American community’s rich history in Princeton. The tour’s sites include Paul
Robeson’s birthplace (her grandmother
taught Robeson) and the Witherspoon Street
Presbyterian Church, where his father,
William Drew Robeson, was a minister.
She hatched the idea of naming the plaza
adjacent to Princeton Public Library after
Albert Hinds, who lived to the age of 104
and was revered as a member of the town’s
black community. Her successful efforts
were the subject of a December 17, 2006, article in the New York Times. According to
the article Hinds often accompanied Satterfield on her talks and slide shows and on her
tours, even after he needed a walker.
Satterfield started the W.E.B. DuBois
Cultural Awareness Forum at Hightstown
High School and is a loyal supporter of the
W.E.B. DuBois Scholars Institute at Princeton University.
In a statement issued when she was honored with the annual Vivian Award for Community Service, given by the Vivian Memorial Fund, an endowment fund of the Princeton Area Community Foundation, in 2009,
she says:
“As I look back, my mission in Princeton
has been to promote the educational advancement of and instill a sense of purpose,
self worth, and respect in the youth of our
town; to preserve the rich history of my
church and community; and to remember
and uplift those in the Witherspoon-Jackson
neighborhood who came before us, who
cleared the path for us to grow, advance, and
prosper.”
Yasuhara, a mathematical logician, started
going to Princeton Friends (Quaker) Meeting where, she says, “I found the place I
needed to be.”
Yasuhara, 78, continues to be involved in
peace and social justice issues. She participates in the Peace & Social Concerns Committees of Princeton Monthly Meeting and
Philadelphia Yearly Meeting. In January,
2010, she started a two-year term as clerk of
Princeton Meeting. (Since Quakers have no
official, paid clergy, members share the
work, and “clerk” means being “in charge”
— to the extent that anyone is in charge.)
She earned her BA, MA, and PhD (all in
math) at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana. In the 1960s she taught math
at Mills College, Oakland, CA, and was interested in the great Free Speech Movement
at UC-Berkeley. She is married to Mitsuru
Yasuhara, a fellow mathematical logician.
From the 1970s through ’90s, she taught
theoretical computer science at Rutgers. In
the 1990s she started taking training in nonviolent conflict resolution (Alternatives to
Violence Program and Help Increase the
Peace Program) and soon after started facilitating workshops in non-violence, mostly
for inner-city Philadelphia and Trenton
teenagers. She also began teaching and tutoring minority Princeton kids.
Through tutoring she has become involved in the life of a local immigrant
Guatemalan family and has been helping
the family, especially the three children, in
various ways. She says her experience with
this family has led her to care about immigration matters and to become involved in
the founding of the Latin American Legal
Defense and Education Fund. She is a member of the Advisory Council for LALDEF.
Since the late 1990s Yasuhara has been
involved in the interfaith, interracial social
justice group, Not In Our Town.
She and her husband love classical music,
museums, travel, and hiking.

Ageless Architects?
In some towns the conductors
seem to live forever. In Princeton
the architects seem to be ageless.
Bob Geddes, now 87, has been a
pillar since he was named dean of
the university’s School of Architecture in 1965, and didn’t skip a
beat afterward. For the past decade
he has been a driving force behind
Princeton Future, the private-public partnership that seeks to initiate
community wide planning. Among
the other active architects:
Jerry Ford
In 2004 Jerry Ford had already
had a 30-year run with his own
Princeton-based firm. But instead
of retiring he — along with Quinn
Schwenker and Moira McClintock
— founded Ford 3 Architects at 32
Nassau Street. The firm focuses on
new construction and historic
preservation. the firm has developed a preservation plan for the
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church;
converted a barn to serve as headquarters for the D&R Greenway;
designed an apple storage barn for
Terhune Orchards; and has worked
at Princeton University, Rutgers,
and the Lawrenceville School.
“This new firm has been a happy
experience,” Ford, 72, says. A former member of the boards of the
Princeton Chamber of Commerce
and Plan Smart NJ, he now serves
on the Princeton Sustainability
Commission.
Michael Graves
In 2003 Michael Graves had
every reason to withdraw from the
pressures of modern architecture.
That year an infection left Graves,
world renowned for his designs of
not only buildings but also household objects, including teapots,
paralyzed from the waist down.
But Graves, 76, has remained active in projects around the world.
His redesign and expansion of
the Arts Council of Princeton was
completed in year TK. Since 2007
he has put his signature on at least
five high-profile renovations and
designs here and abroad. These include major remodeling of the Detroit Institute of Arts and to the
Princeton MarketFair in 2007; the
Equestrian City Tower in Riyadh,
Saudi Arabia in 2008; and the design of the Mitchell Institute for
Fundamental Physics & Astronomy and Physics Building at Texas
A&M University in 2009.
Though widely lauded for his
modernist interpretations of form,
function, and color, Graves himself
does not see himself in any one
way. “If I have a style,” he once
quipped, “I am not aware of it.”
Bob Hillier
In his late 60s, Bob Hillier did
what some might have thought was
setting himself up for retirement —
he sold his 40-year-old architecture firm to RMJM.
Retirement was not the plan,
however. Today Hillier (Princeton
Class of 1959) owns and operates a
new architecture and design firm
on Witherspoon Street. Hillier’s
new-old direction includes projects that focus on building a neighborhood concept through urban
thinking, even in more rural areas.
“People are tired of spending too
much time in their cars,” he says of
the growing move away from suburbia to more intimate settings.
“They want to live downtown.”
Hillier also owns Town Topics
newspaper, the recently acquired
Princeton Magazine, and the online magazine Obit. This year he
took over as chairman of the
Princeton Chamber. As for retirement: “A friend of mine once told
me you only retire from jobs you
don’t like. I don’t believe in retirement, I love what I do.”

Former Presidents
William Bowen
S
ince Princeton is a college
town, no one should be surprised
that three former college presidents live in town — and all are
still active in various pursuits. Former Princeton president William
Bowen, 76, above right, is founding chairman of the board of Ithaka
Harbors, a New York-based notfor-profit organization (there also
is an office at 100 Campus Drive)
that helps the academic community use digital technologies to preserve the scholarly record. He
serves on the boards of JSTOR/Ithaka and ARTstor (online adacdemic archiving) and is also the cochairman of the Research Alliance
for New York City Schools and a
member of the American Philosophical Society and the American
Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Harold Shapiro
The successor to William
Bowen at Princeton, Harold
Shapiro, 73, remains deeply involved in the academic community. He serves on the board of
trustees at the Institute for Advanced Study, is chairman of the
board at DeVry University, and is a
professor of economics at Princeton’s Woodrow Wilson School.
In the past few years Shapiro has
been part of the IAS Decadal Review, a 10-year assessment of how
well the Institute for Advanced
Study is fulfilling its mission. He
also has written several books on
higher education; is an elected
Member of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of
Sciences and the American Philosophical Society; is a fellow of the
College of Physicians of Philadelphia; is an active member of the
European Academy of Sciences
and Arts; and is a fellow of the
American Association for the Advancement of Science.
He serves on a number of boards
of charitable, medical and educational institutions, including the
Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, the University of Medicine and
Dentistry of New Jersey, and DeVry.
Neil Rudenstine
Neil Rudenstine, 75, is back in
Princeton after serving as president of Harvard University from
1991 to 2001. Rudenstine now
serves as chair of the Advisory
Board for ARTstor, a digital image
library for education and scholarship (artstor.org).
Anne Reeves
A Princeton resident
since the mid-1960s,
Anne Reeves built a
legacy: founding director of the Arts Council
of Princeton who helped
spearhead the hugely
successful town-gown
celebration, Communiversity, held each spring
in downtown Princeton. An artist-in-residence studio in the Arts
Council’s new building is named
after her.
But she is not idle. She hosts a
weekly TV program called CONNECT, which highlights interesting programs and people of Princeton and is produced at Princeton
Community Television’s studios.
She is also preparing for the
third year of a program for children
entitled “The Red Umbrella,” part
of the minority education committee of the Princeton Regional
Schools, which meets Thursday afternoons at 4:30 p.m. at the Mary
Moss Park on John Street. A different storyteller is featured each
week. Gently used books are circulated and each child is given three
books of their choice. This is followed by a watermelon party. The
program is sponsored by the Minority Education Committee of the
Princeton Regional Schools.
She sits on the boards of the
Latin American Legal Defense and
Education Fund and the Arts Council of Princeton. The LALDEF is
designed to welcome and assist
Latin American families and individuals with activities such as
health fairs and language assis-
tance and is currently active issuing ID Cards in the Princeton community. “It’s a truly exciting program,” says Reeves, whose interest seems to dovetail with that of
her frequent companion, Paul Sigmund. “It welcomes everyone in
our community.”
Paul Sigmund
Paul Sigmund, 81, a Princeton
resident, is professor emeritus of
politics at Princeton University,
specializing in political theory and
Latin American politics.
Since retiring in 2005 he has
taught one or two courses a year at
Princeton, most recently a freshman seminar on Chile this spring.
In the fall he will be teaching a
course on Latin American politics
in the Evergeen Forum program of
the Princeton Senior Resource
Center. Until 2009 he was president of Princeton in Latin America,
a program that sends recent Princeton graudates on service fellowships in Latin America.
He was the husband of Princeton mayor Barbara Boggs Sigmund, who died in 1990.
JULY 14, 2010
Literati:
Joyce Carol Oates
Seventy-two is not just an age
for author Joyce Carol Oates. It is
nearly the number of books she has
published in a literary career that
spans more than 40 years.
Oates published her first book
in 1963 and has since published
nearly 60 novels, plus several nonfiction titles and articles.
Oates, the valedictorian of her
class at Syracuse University in
1960, won the National Book
Award in 1969 for her novel
“them.” Three of her novels,
“Black Water” (1992), “What I
Lived For” (1994), and “Blonde”
(2000) have been nominated for
the Pulitzer Prize. Today she continues to churn out a prolific string
of new works, as well as serving as
a professor at Princeton,
John McPhee
One of the most prolific writers
working today is John McPhee
Princeton native. Since 1965 he
has published dozens of books, including the 1999 Pulitzer Prizewinning geological history book
“Annals of the Former World.”
This year McPhee, 79, released
“Silk Parachute,” a collection of
his lighter essays.
After graduating from Princeton in 1953 he became a writer at
Time before moving on to a career
as a magazine writer and author.
He has taught a nonfiction writing
course at Princeton University so
many years that many of his students are themselves now stars in
the literary world.
The Law:
Albert Stark
At age 71, Albert Stark doesn’t
just practice law, he sits atop the
largest law firm in the region.
Stark & Stark, based at 993 Lenox
Drive, employs nearly 300.
A Trenton native, Stark built a
firm specializing in accident and
personal injury law that his father
and uncle started in 1933. Last
year, the firm reported almost $50
million in revenue.
Stark, a graduate of Dartmouth
and Penn Law School, has just finished his third book, a self-published story of the lessons his career has taught him. And though he
still practices law, Stark spends
time doing volunteer work at the
Princeton Senior Resource Center.
He also is working on a plan to develop tennis courts at Cadwalader
Park, his old Trenton stomping
grounds, and a sport at which he
excelled in high school.
Gerald Stockman
Gerald Stockman might be
best known for his defense of
Princeton businessman Colin
Carpi in a sensational 1974 murder
trial that ended with the jury acquitting Carpi of the charge that he
murdered his wife. But the softspoken Stockman, still a practicing attorney with the Hamiltonbased Kalavruzos Mumola Hartman, has deep ties to social service
organizations serving the underprivileged in the Trenton area.
A lifelong Trenton resident,
Stockman graduated from the College of the Holy Cross in 1956 and
from Villanova law school in
1959.
Stockman entered politics in
1977 as a state assemblyman and
then spent the entire 1980s as a
state senator. While maintaining
his practice, Stockman, now 75, is
an active member of New Jersey
Policy Perspective.
Barbara Figge Fox
two decades at U.S. 1, and spend
the next two hours doing a post. Or
I’ll be so impressed with a speaker
that I’ll want to record his thoughts
for posterity.
And then I started to Tweet. And
then I began to hone my speaking
skills. And then I started to get back
to writing dance reviews. And then.
And then.
You get the picture. But until I
turned 70, I didn’t. Am I crazy?
How can I keep up this pace and also lower my blood pressure, find
inner peace, be more present to my
dearest and nearest, and accomplish my long-term goals — in
short, attain a “wise heart.”
I went home and consulted my
bookshelf, where I found Sam
Wang’s book “Welcome to Your
Brain: Why You Lose Your Car
Keys but Never Forget How to Drive and Other Puzzles of Everyday
Life,” written with Sandra
Aamodt. Wang is one of my favorite Princeton professors; I’ve
heard him speak three times. Like
my father, he studies the brain and
explains science in informal ways.
Wang cautions that age can deplete willpower, but he gave me
hope, saying that willpower is a
muscle that seems to become
stronger with use. In our 70s, we
begin to lose a set of abilities called
“the executive function,” not just
the memory but also the part of our
brain that helps us focus, despite
distractions, and process and respond to ideas. It also allows us, he
writes, “to select behavior that’s
appropriate to the situation and inhibit inappropriate behavior.” `
Wang’s antidote to losing execu-
tive function: Exercise. “When inactive people get more exercise,
even starting in their 70s, their executive function improves. As little
as 30 to 60 minutes of fast walking
several times a week can effectively improve brain function.”
Sticking to the exercise program
strengthens our willpower muscle.
“People who stick to an exercise
program for two months report reducing their impulsive spending,
junk food intake, alcohol use, and
smoking. They also study more,
watch less television, and do more
housework.”
So a brisk, daily 30-minute walk
will tamp down my potentially
zany behavior, preserve my brain,
and help me get more done? That
should be a no-brainer.
To help me, I have my husband’s
example. George credits his 40year jogging regimen with helping
to save his life; he is both a heart attack and a cancer survivor. Currently he has the much coveted designation of NED, no evidence of
disease. But we have had some
brushes with death.
This next section deals plainly
with death, and you may want to
skip it if you are recently bereaved
or have had a loved one diagnosed
with a terminal illness. I couldn’t
discuss the subject for the first
months after my mother died.
I do have a strong faith, but the
real reason I’m neither reticent nor
squeamish about the subject is my
background. My father was in
charge of an Anatomy Board,
which administers body donations.
When my sister and I were 10 and
13 and our parents were out, we
took the calls that came to our
home phone number at night. We
knew to say, “No embalming, keep
it refrigerated, call us in the morning.” And among my favorite
childhood memories is the acrid
smell of formaldehyde as I sat on a
stool watching my father deftly
dissect a cadaver. I proudly say,
“My father is a skeleton in somebody’s closet” because he had
arranged for his own corpse to be
transformed into a visual aid.
Also I have been an Army wife.
Military families of any age must
be combat ready, with all the “endof-life” plans in place.
And I’m a life member of the
Funeral Consumers Alliance of
Princeton, previously known as the
Princeton Memorial Association.
It promotes informed and advanced planning for funeral and
memorial arrangements. My plan,
of course, is to donate my body to a
medical school.
W
hy do I even bring up an
upsetting subject? Because the
time to think about it is when it’s
least painful, when you have NOT
been diagnosed with a terminal illness. I know this from experience.
When I drove my husband to the
hospital for open heart surgery, that
was no time to start discussing
where he wanted to be buried.
If you have not put your affairs
in order when you were in your
40s, 50s, or 60s, your 70s is your
last good chance. The closer you
get to meeting (take your pick) St.
Peter or the Grim Reaper, the harder it is to bring yourself to think
about it. Your survivors will be
grateful, and in fact, your well-laid
plans may be among your most appreciated legacies.
The good result of my husband’s
ill health experience is that we
U.S. 1
35
count our blessings daily and appreciate life more. Carpe Diem is
the motto for cancer survivors. As
Christiane Northrup says (she’s a
public television medical guru and
author of “Women’s Bodies,
Women’s Wisdom”), “Those who
have had a serious illness know
that illness is the biggest gift we
could ever have. It pushes you back
into your soul, where you must find
your deep gladness, and it is your
deep gladness that will bring you
back to life.”
I looked up the source of her
quote, from Frederick Bruechner,
Presbyterian minister and Princeton University graduate, Class of
1948. I found it in his book “Wishful Thinking,” as “The place God
calls you to is where your deep
gladness and the world’s deep
hunger meet.”
The world’s deep hunger? My
deep gladness? After all these years
I can’t identify which of my joys is
my primary one. And I don’t think I
should throw myself into solving
any world problems. Get your infrastructure in place, I’m telling
myself. Get your mental and physical bags packed. Don’t be like
your mother, a globe trotter whose
frequent trips were preceded by
chaos at departure time. Be like
your friends Lou and Susan, who
start packing their suitcases the
week before they leave for vacation, assembling their stuff in an organized way. They put their suitcases in the car the night before
they leave, wake up in the morning,
and drive off, carefree, at dawn.
I need to get my stuff done now.
Then with willpower and a wise
heart I can blog, Tweet, gad about,
travel, or serve wherever the deep
gladness takes me. Carpe Diem.

lackrock has put an end
to three years of rumors — the financial giant will move from 800
Scudders Mill Road in Plainsboro
to University Square at Route 1 and
Alexander Road.
On Monday a spokeswoman
from the company confirmed that
Blackrock would lease 141,000
square feet at University Square, at
Route 1 and Alexander Road, for
approximately 800 employees.
The company would offer no official comment on the move, but the
spokeswoman did confirm that the
1,000 employees based at Scudders Mill Road would be split between University Square and New
York City.
Speculation over whether the
company would leave its 350,000square-foot space on Scudders
Mill Road began well before University Square even broke ground.
At one time it appeared that Blackrock would move its Plainsboro
operations to the Philadelphia area.
The company also was courted by
landlords in Trenton and New
Brunswick, as well as West Windsor. Though the company had long
denied its intention to move to University Square, Blackrock employees have been seen scouting the
building over the past several
months.
But every time it seemed as if
Blackrock was about to sign a
lease, more delays — and more
speculation — were the only results. Jerry Fennelly, president of
NAI Fennelly in Hamilton, said
this is common for companies like
Blackrock. “Their business model

First Choice Home Medical, a
Delaware-based company that
sells and rents home medical
equipment, has acquired Princeton
Medical Equipment from Princeton Healthcare System for an
undisclosed amount.
First Choice’s primary line of
business is the sale and rental products such as oxygen, wheelchairs,
and hospital beds. CEO Richard
Kreider said the deal expands First
Choice’s market into the Delaware
Valley region and will make it
more convenient for him personally to come to work.
Kreider lives in Doylestown and
has commuted to New Castle,
Delaware, for years. He will split
his time between there and
Lawrenceville.
As to why Princeton Healthcare
sold this side of its business, Kreider said, “Hospitals get into things
they shouldn’t be in,” such as the
rental of home medical equipment.
As more hospitals have realized
the folly of trying to be too much
for too many, they have shed side
avenues, making it a good time for
a company like First Choice.
