Phil Hubbard

I am well and living in central MA near the Quabbin reservoir. My love - Iva - and I were married (second time for both) a year ago. Iva has two daughters, early 30s. I am retired from the public and non-profit housing sectors after working in the Chicago, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and Boston areas. We have a 1855 house off beautiful Barre common. I am chairman of the Barre Planning Board, an actor with the Barre Players (presently in "Translations" as Jimmy Jack Cassie) and a volunteer with the East Quabbin Land Trust Iva is originally from the Czech Republic and we enjoy traveling there and elsewhere in Europe.

I have fond memories of growing up in Torbank (and later Chilmark), attending Brookside School (pushing the piano around to various classrooms with Ray Tuttle), playing in Little League and earning badges with the Boy Scouts. Back then OHS was the "Indians" and had a wonderful mix of societal groups, with great academics, athletics and extra-curricular activities. I can still remember the smelly fruit from the ginkgo trees in the fall, the Key Club convention in the Catskills, trying to figure my way through PSSC physics and enjoying performances by the OHS band. Enough for now. Hoping to see many of you at the reunion.
Best wishes,
Phil Hubbard
