I attended the Metropolitan Golf Writers Association 63rd National Awards Dinner on June 23 and was fortunate to be at a table in a primo viewing location near the dais. Honorees included Fred Couples and Nancy Lopez, but my focus was on the young man seated directly across from me: Cameron Wilson, son of our own Dave Wilson and the first Stanford University golfer to win the individual NCAA championship since Tiger Woods in 1995! Another standout student athlete in the national spotlight this spring was Larry Wolf’s son Jordan, who led Duke to its second NCAA lacrosse title in a row and was named the tournament’s most outstanding player after a two-goal, four-assist effort in their 11-9 victory over Notre Dame. Round of snaps to these two outstanding seniors!


It was great to correspond coast-to-coast with Josh Nossiter recently. Josh, a 30-year resident of San Francisco who is now doing finance and administration for the city, shared the following news: “San Fran is in the blood, especially now that my son and daughter, both graduates of the University of California, Santa Barbara, are living and working here. I’m enjoying my 13th year as treasurer of the board at the French American School, my kids’ alma mater, and am never far from tennis and squash courts. I still fall down ski slopes (roommate and ski school head Bennett Kashdan used to wince whenever he saw me schussing the Skiway) when there’s snow. I heard from Cheryl Morgan that she’s dividing time between Paris, France, Hamilton, New York, and Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Alysa Ward sends word from Tampa, Florida, and I lunched recently with freshman year roommate G. Blake Meike, who a mere 40 years after sharing cinder block digs in Hinman landed in an office around the corner from my own.”


Closer to home John Marshall writes, “Funny enough I received your email last night as I was having dinner with Jon Wendell. Jon lives in Greenwich, Connecticut, with his wife (Tracy) and son (Jack) and runs his own private equity firm after spending many years at Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank in mergers and acquisitions. I have lived in Bronxville, New York, for more than 20 years and am a partner in an investment firm in midtown Manhattan. I have two children; my son just finished his freshman year at Wake Forest and my daughter is an incoming freshman there as well. I ran into Bill Swenson recently after not having seen him since graduation. It turns out he works right around the corner from me at a Canadian investment bank.”


In closing, our hearts go out to the family of Holly Ann Marshall, who died unexpectedly from a heart attack on June 7. Holly was married to Philip Holland, Ph.D., and was the devoted mother of Freedom and Phoebe. Holly served as director of student placement at Bennington College from 1983 to 1985 and taught English and drama at Anatolia College in Thessaloniki, Greece, from 1995 to 2013. She will be sorely missed.
