Paul H. Rothschild of Longmeadow, Massachusetts, the chairman of the litigation department of the law firm of Bacon Wilson, P.C. in Springfield, was designated as a New England Super Lawyer for 2012 by Boston Magazine. Paul earned his J.D. in 1971 from Boston University and has been recognized as a Super Lawyer every year since 2004. Well done!


Rob Kugler, Paul (and Joyce) Killebrew, Bill Bogardus, Wayne Beyer, Jim Coakley and Sam Ostrow represented 67 at Dartmouth’s season-ending victory over Princeton in the cold and snow of Hanover on November 22. 


Sam Ostrow reports that Tom and Lily Grove once again won the distance traveled award to the Rich Paolino ’67 Rhode Island Open golf outing and dinner on September 28, flying in from their home in Utah. Almost as many ’67 husbands and wives came just for the reception at hosts Larry and Sharleen Bowen’s beautiful home and dinner as played the outstanding Rhode Island Country Club course. The winning foursome included honored guest Beth Paolino (the fix wasn’t in). Among the other attendees—Jack and Mary Ellen Curley, John and Pokey Kornet, Ed and Pris Kern, Steve and Maureen Cheheyl, Bill Bogardus, Sam and Judy Ostrow, John Manaras, Dave and Mobby Larson, Joe Alviani, Tom and Carol Pyles, Rob and Marilyn Edwards, Ron Koback and Jon Feltner. Rich and Beth’s “kids”—Kate and Chris—also graced the gathering, and in each of them we could still hear Rich’s laugh.


Gerry Hills ’68 invites alumni and guests to the second Virgin Island flotilla (“Return of the Green”) to sail May 11-20. All ’67 sailors are very welcome. Contact Gerry at stjohncaptain@aol.com if interested.


Bob Burka provided details about the 10th more-or-less-annual Washington, D.C., area class dinner held at the offices of Foley & Lardner LLP. Present were Wayne Beyer, Betsy and Bob Davidson, Young and Chuck Hobbie, Beverly and Wayne Johnson, Joanie and David Millane, Tony Newkirk, Judy, Rachel and Sam Ostrow (and Rachel’s friend Adrian Stover) and John Isaacs. Sam Ostrow gets credit for the largest family gathering in this event’s history!
