Greetings to all classmates! Please use the contact information at the end of our class column to get in touch with me. There are so many of you out there who have not yet called or written to let the class know where you are and what you are doing, and many of you have exciting, interesting or unusual things to share.

Last year he launched a consulting firm that advises boards of directors on corporate governance and compliance. Tom serves on several boards at Georgetown Law School and this year he is teaching there as an adjunct professor. Through the years Tom has kept in touch with a number of classmates, including Eleanor Shannon, who is living in Italy and studying wine. He also sees Mike McCarthy and Charlie Vieth around Baltimore and T. Weymouth, who lives in Washington, D.C. Tom also keeps in touch with Hank Young (currently in Oklahoma), Peter Pessoa (who lives in Miami), Rob Worley (formerly of the D.C. area but now in Philadelphia) and Paul Centenari, who used to live in Baltimore.
