Dateline London. I am over here on a quick trip but I managed to fit in a very enjoyable lunch in the shadow of St. Paul's Cathedral with Craig Colberg. Craig is currently a vice president of Goldman Sachs, where he works as an institutional broker. He has been living in London for almost eight years, although he manages to get back to the States several times a year. He has a spectacular home in Cadogan Square—very near Harrods. Craig gave me word of Trevor Rees-Jones's recent marriage to Janice Bartula last September 19 in Dallas. Trevor, congratulations and best wishes. Craig has also recently visited another classmate and fellow Phi Delt, TomSisk, who owns and operates the Thomas J. Sisk Insurance Co. in Denver. From all reports, Tom has built up a tremendous business and is well regarded in the world of insurance in Colorado. He and his wife, Nina, have two daughters and live in the Denver area.
Stu Pechter recently wrote with some great news. He and his wife, Madeline, celebrated the birth of their son, Nelson Miles Pechter, on January 30, 1987. "He is nine months old at the time of this writing, and doing very well. In fact, I just sent off to the dean of admissions, registering him for the class of 2008." Stu went on to remark that he was "enjoying life on the beach in Delray Beach, Fla., where I continue my periodontal practice. I have also seen a lot of classmate John Lattimer, who recently resigned his position as chairman of urology at Jacksonville Hospital to go into private practice in Boca Raton."
New England football fans recently received the unhappy news that Steve Stetson will be moving on from his position as head football coach at Boston University. Steve was an extremely popular and widely respected football coach. It is generally agreed that he did an excellent job with the Boston University program. Many a football fan in New England will miss seeing Steve on the gridiron with the Terriers next fall. We wish him the best with his future plans.
Finally, I ran into Tuck Bailey the other day and we were able to catch up on old times and with one another. Tuck and Carol and their son and daughter live on a magnificent spread in Carlisle, near Concord, Mass. Tuck is a senior executive with the H.T. Bailey Insurance Agency, one of the most prominent and successful insurance agencies in New England. He's doing great and passed on the news that Dave Sullivan is now a vice president of General Reinsurance. Tuck and Dave and Chet Homer try to get together for a golf outing in New England every year.
That's it for now. Send along some news when you have the chance and in the meantime, please remember the Alumni Fund.
