Mini-Reunion – Pete Moller and Bill Couser

Bill Couser and Pete Moller recently had their first opportunity to get together in person since they graduated from Deerfield in 1957. Both were from small towns in rural northern New England (Pete: Tunbridge, VT; Bill: Lebanon, NH), roommates during 1955-57 and best friends. In fact, Bill and Pete were the only two members of the class of 1957 assigned to live together for both junior and senior years because of the quality of their relationship. After Deerfield, Peter went to Duke where he had a distinguished athletic record in basketball, soccer and baseball followed by a career as an executive at US Steel in Pittsburgh. He retired back to Durham NC where he continues to serve Duke as a guide to the campus and athletic facilities. Bill went to Harvard and the Dartmouth and Harvard Medical Schools. He retired in 2004 as the Scribner Professor and Head of the Division of Nephrology at the University of Washington in Seattle and has since been involved in many outreach programs for kidney patients in developing countries. The 2 days together was mostly consumed reviewing Deerfield days – the place, the people and the experiences. It was a time warp but felt like yesterday!
