Clarence Michalis
reports: “I
have been in touch with a num-
ber of my vintage classmates,
who are all 92 or 93 years old.
They say that they have nothing
to report. They say they are just
happy to be here, enjoying their
families and not looking at the
grass from the wrong side.”

Thomas Dolan IV
, 90, a fresh-
water ecologist and pion-
eering environmentalist, was
awarded the Henry Meigs
Award for environmental lead-
ership by the Schuylkill Center
for Environmental Education
in Roxborough, Pa. The Meigs
Award honors “leaders whose
commanding presence and
guidance toward our world’s
sustainable future reflects the
spirit, integrity and vision of
Henry Meigs.” Tom discovered
his love of nature as a child, and
spent summers with his family
on the Allagash River in Maine
and the Chesapeake Bay. He
knew early on that he wanted
to dedicate his life to caring for
the environment.

Dudley Rochester
and his wife,
Lois, recently celebrated their
10th year living at Westmin-
ster-Canterbury of the Blue
Ridge (WCBR), a continuing care
retirement community in Char-
lottesville, Va. Dudley retired
from the University of Virginia
School of Medicine faculty in
1994, and, for most of the time
since, has worked on clean air
and fresh water issues in Vir-
ginia. Part of his environmental
work was with the Committee
on Stewardship of Creation
for the Episcopal Diocese of
Virginia. Both Dudley and Lois
serve on residents’ committees
at WCBR. In the past year, they
have joined a subcommittee on
end-of-life care issues. Dud-
ley created a presentation for
WCBR residents that focuses on
what types of medical care may
be offered at or near the end of
life, the decisions residents need
to make about what care they
may want, and how to commu-
nicate their wishes effectively to
their families and all echelons of
health care providers.
