Anne Murray Patterson has been nominated to the New Jersey Supreme Court. While awaiting confirmation Anne continues to practice with Riker Danzig in Morristown, New Jersey. Kudos, Anne.


Might the Big Green have gone undefeated this year if only No. 38 were anchoring the defense? Cody Press still spends ample time on football fields, rather pitches. Cody and Stacy’s middle daughter, Christen, leads the No. 1 ranked Stanford soccer team, and NCAA, in scoring. Their youngest plays for Villanova and eldest, a Harvard graduate, attends Georgetown Law. Cody traveled from L.A. for the 30th reunion of the 1978 Ivy League champs, but could not make ours. He shall attend the 35th.


Listening to Big Green football on Internet radio led me to wonder whether play-by-play man Mike Sullivan would be ready to step back into the booth. Former program director Sally Nutt Van Leeuwen answered that question with a resounding yes. Adam Eisgrau, Jim Gifford and Bob Wait joined Sally, Mike and about 10 other WDCR/WFRD jocks for a mini-reunion last August. Mike keeps in radio shape by attending Orioles games with Dave Title ’79. Sally, who spent five years at CBS in network finance before taking a hiatus to raise her children, now serves as volunteer director of a town owned and operated nursing home and rehab center in Connecticut. 


Station manager Joe Mannes missed the radio gig, but he attended Class Officers Weekend, along with Brian Boyer, Cathy McGrath, Merle Adelman, Michael Palitz and Dave Bumsted. Our leaders rose to their feet to join College President Kim in congratulating the ’79s for earning Class of the Year honors. Class of ’80 president Boyer saluted Joe for his tireless efforts in keeping the class books balanced and Eric Pfieffer and Lynne Bodden for our new and improved class e-newsletter. Addressing this year’s communications theme, the Bri quipped that the class officers are Facebook fans, but not interested in class tweets or texts. 


If you are looking for reasons to join Facebook, you need look no further than Elizabeth Potter Ulrich’s breathtaking photos. Liz is a freelance photographer based in New Mexico. Her photos cover a wide-range of subjects from food to portraits. Her travel landscapes reflect her considerable skill in painting with a camera.


If art does not inspire you, perhaps the uplifting messages from the Rev. Cleo Robertson will. Since 1994 Cleo has served as pastor of Soundview Presbyterian Church in the Bronx. Cleo posts frequently on music and sports, but you also can find pearls of wisdom such as: “When we live our life with the end result in mind we are bound to make better decisions in the beginning because we all desire a successful end.” 


Last July beloved classmate Parker Small arrived at his successful end.Please keep Parker, Katie Currier Small and their children in your holiday thoughts. And savor every minute with your friends and family.
