The countdown to the 50th reunion June 8–13 continues with the theme “The Road Turns Home” (Moosilauke Thursday, core reunion Friday to Sunday, extended Sunday to Tuesday). Check the class webpage for details. The fundraising team of Joe Alviani, Fred Marcusa and Mark Sisitsky,under the leadership of Head Agent John Kornet,are encouraging contributing to the College Fund. Pass the word to participate; we are aiming for 67-percent College Fund participation. Bill Bogardus has put together a team to maximize attendance at the 50th and you will be hearing from them often. We seek maximum turnout. (If you need help financing your attendance, “scholarships” are available—talk to Rick Geissinger. His contact points are in the newsletter).
Recent gatherings include the following. The Rich Paolino’67 Rhode Island open and dinner in October had 33 ’67s and partners attending on a day marked by wind and rain, but also great fellowship. The Washington annual mini-reunion dinner on November 4 attracted 19 participants, including several ’67s who have not been regulars at this dinner before, including Per Bang-Jensen, Larry Leiken and Dick Lucy.
The CarniVail annual multi-class ski weekend is planned for March 3-5 in Vail, Colorado. There will be a three-day weekend of terrific skiing, the traditional ’67 dinner for class members and guests and socialization with other classes. Get in touch with John Lobitz about details at johnlobitz@gmail.com.
The St. Louis Magazine released its 2016 “Power List 100,” which included Michael Wolff.Mike served as chief justice of the Missouri Supreme Court and dean of the St. Louis University School of Law, but these days he derives his authority from an archetype. “When people have a conflict, a dilemma, a social injustice or a sticky ethical situation, they bring it to Wolff. His boyish, self-deprecating humor banishes any sense of Solomon, but he swiftly extricates the real issue from the confused mess of bias, politicking and misperception. When Wolff offers an opinion, his words carry weight.”
Another passing to note. Frank Alfred Mwine, J.D., died in Los Angeles on February 23, 2016. Frank came to college from Mbarara, Uganda. He majored in government and participated in Glee Club and Phi Tau. He earned his J.D. from Harvard Law School. In 1970 he started working at the World Bank in Washington, D.C., rising through the ranks to become division chief for Africa in the legal department. In 1987 Frank left to join the Uganda Commercial Bank as the chairman and managing director. The bank expanded from 60 to 180 branches. In the early 1990s he opened up a management and financial services consulting firm in Kampala, Uganda, specializing in development projects. Frank is survived by his children, Ntare, Wamara, Kasasira and Saba.

Keep me posted.
