The tents have been built. The class banners have been hung. Alumni are walking around campus. ReedFayre ’14 is less than 12 hours away. Let’s see what the June 2013<\/strong><\/a> issue of the Reed magazine<\/strong><\/a> was telling us about Reed chemists one year ago …<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Striking Keys in Africa<\/a> (p. 6) looked forward to the Watson-funded travels of chemistry-physics major Cole Perkinson ’13<\/strong><\/a> … School of Hard NOx<\/a> (p. 7) described a $300,000 research grant awarded to Prof. Juliane Fry<\/strong><\/a> and her hard-working associates: Hannah Allen ’14<\/strong><\/a>, Danielle Draper ’13<\/strong><\/a>, and postdoctoral research associate Dr. Ben Ayres<\/strong> … a photographer caught chemistry junior Mark Angeles ’15<\/strong> and biologist Katie Halloran ’15 sharing good times and good weather in front of Lane Middle School, the site of the LASER project (Reedies Mentor Portland Kids in LASER Program<\/a>, p. 12) … Jim Kahan ’64 described a class that he had audited from music professor (and former chemist) Prof. Virginia Oglesby Hancock ’62<\/strong> [music 1991- ] (Music to My Ears<\/a>, p. 14) … and Garbage and Gutenberg<\/a> (p. 24) described the innovative uses that Matt Rogge ’97<\/strong> has found for 3D printers (an especially Rogge-esque example: the world’s first 3D printed boat; see below) … and Radiating Enthusiam<\/a> (p. 47) caught up with Kathryn Higley ’78, who recently took over the reins of Oregon State U’s nuclear engineering and radiation health physics department.

Class Notes<\/strong> caught up with three chemists.\u00a0Bev Karplus Hartline ’71<\/strong> and husband Frederick ’67 are back “in the West” again and Bev is working as vice chancellor for research and graduate studies at Montana Tech …\u00a0Kris McNeill ’92<\/strong> shared news of the birth<\/a> of Bosco McNeil on 12\/12\/12 at 12:55 pm in Zurich, noting that Bosco’s “numerological correctness was a pleasant, but unplanned, surprise” … and\u00a0Casey Jones ’05<\/strong><\/a> has taken on a tenure-track position as assistant professor of chemistry and Lewis & Clark College in Portland. Casey also passed along a wedding photo (p. 53). If you look closely, you will see Casey and her husband, Michael Schwartz, flanked by three other Reed chemists:\u00a0Joy Wattawa ’05, Kitty Richards ’05, <\/strong>and Sarah Griner ’05<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The passing of two chemists was reported in the In Memoriam<\/strong> section of the magazine.<\/p>\n
