Greg Clow writes in: “I had the chance to get together with Andy Churchill and Jeff Gundlach in February for a reunion of Hitchcock hall mates. Andy was in L.A. from Amherst, Massachusetts, and I drove down from San Francisco to meet Jeff in Santa Monica, California. Jeff was an excellent host, we had a great time and Santa Monica was beautiful.


“In June my wife, Kathleen, and I were in New York for my Tuck E.E. class mini-reunion—of which Lisa Sanders was a part. Lisa is balancing her time between New York and L.A. as she runs the Ronin Digital Group, her studio for video games, interactive, animation and visual effects.


“For myself, I finished getting our house in California on the market and in April made the move to Boise, Idaho. The family was already in place in our new home when I arrived. Great to be all together again! In January, on one of my shuttle trips back and forth, I had the chance to share a beer with Mack Lyons, a Boise native, who gave me the lowdown and instructed me not to let the rest of the world know what a fabulous place this is.” [Oops!]


“If there are any other ’81s in the vicinity, or traveling through, be sure to get in touch.”


I got to exchange home-and-away visits with Tucker Gilman. He gave my son and me the insider’s tour of Hollywood when we were in L.A. and the next month he stayed at our house when he had business in N.Y.C. Tucker runs a real estate management company with his wife and also does frequent consulting gigs. 


I heard from Peter Caron, who says, “Life in Seattle is great. I still love this place. No intention of ever moving.” Pete is road and mountain biking, rollerblading, hiking, forest clearing and trail making. And his goal is to keep skiing until he’s at least 75. “Then I’ll hit the pool!” I guess some of us run in a higher gear. Personally, I’m just hoping to keep swimming until I’m 75 and then hit the bridge table. 


Mark Hansson just finished a very challenging stretch recently. If you’ve been enjoying the series Masters of Sex or The Last Ship on TV this summer, you can thank Mark for his work as first assistant director on both of those shows. 


Etienne Boillot is now back in the States after spending a few years in Spain with his family that he says were great. He already misses the wine, the beaches, the hills and the soccer. 


All’s well in Budapest for Steve Oakes. “I’m working on the second edition of Speakout. The first edition is doing well and I’ve had a few fun promo trips along the way, most recently Turkey. My daughter’s 4 1/2 now, alternating between being a charming angel and a total terror.” Let’s hope we get to see both sides of her at our reunion next June.
