If you are reading this column, the Mayan calendar has entered a new era and the politicians have too (we hope). I posted reunion pictures and presentations (Dartmouth reflections) on the connection to the superlinks alumni class webpage. At reunion I requested that anyone with a spare copy of the ’67 Aegis send it (unfortunately, the U.S. Post Office lost the one sent). The Rich Paolino ’67 Rhode Island Open hosted 13 golfers (the winning foursome was Beth Paolino, Chris Paolino ’00, Jack Curley and Paul Killebrew). The November Washington, D.C., dinner was well attended with the gathering held at the law firm of Foley & Lardner L.L.P. CarniVail will be March 1-3 and will feature the film Passion for Snow. John Lobitz can provide details (johnlobitz@gmail.com). Tom Peebles continues writing book reviews and posting them on his blog http://tombooks.wordpress.com. Several lawyers are on the move: Bruce Chasan to Philadelphia (www.brucechasanlaw.com); Jim Rooks is retiring to Longmeadow, Massachusetts; Wayne Johnson is retired in Rockville, Maryland; and Wayne Beyer is spending more time in North Conway, New Hampshire. Bill Lamb (and Jenny) are exploring Europe and Asia (billlamb@me.com) in their world travels. Andy Danver of Los Altos Hills, California, sent a DVD produced for the class of 1962 50th reunion featuring classmates and photos of the 1960s (this will be helpful for putting together our own 50-year project headed up by John Isaacs). Rob Kugler summarized the Alumni Council meeting themes: Year of the Arts, moving social norms (alcohol abuse, sexual assault and hazing) and the selection of College President-elect Philip Hanlon ’77, Ph.D. Sad to report another loss: Steven N. Schwartz of Coronado, California, died from lung cancer. Steve was active at College in Alpha Theta, Casque & Gauntlet, and Palaeopitus. He earned his J.D. from Yale Law School and went to San Diego, where he formed the Brav & Schwartz firm in 1973. Sympathies to wife Deborah. Additional details are available in online obituaries. Keep me posted.
