It is mini-reunion time. If you read this soon enough, you can still make plans to be in Hanover on October 14-16 for the Yale weekend. You can look for us at the tailgate party in front of the Sphinx or you can meet us at Pierce's Inn in Etna. Call me at (617) 272-2017 if you want some last- minute guidance. We always have a good time at the mini.

You will be hearing more about the 30th Reunion, which is scheduled for June 15-18, a long weekend. Be bold. Heed the call for the "road trip." Just do it.

John and Barbara Daily took a tour of France last year. They were part of a group of about 20 people who toured much of Provence, getting to places such as Les Baux, St. Remy-de-Provence, Aries, and Avignon. They got in a bit of tennis to keep active. Rumor has it that they tasted a little French wine and cheese as well. Their son Craig graduated from Dartmouth last June.

Charlie Thompson is associate director for law enforcement for the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF). Although he lives in South Hampton, N.H., he works in New York City. Charlie welcomes the Brady Bill but recognizes that it is not the solution to handgun abuse. Charlie says, "Any time you enforce federal firearm laws, it's dangerous. We lost four people in Waco. When we arrest people, what we expect to find is guns. The World Trade Center bombing and Waco brought us into the news. I was at The World Trade Center about ten minutes before the bomb went off. There are some 24,000 federal firearms dealers in the United States—more than there are gas stations." Charlie served a tour of duty in Vietnam and a year in Germany. After he got out of the army, he became interested in federal law enforcement. After spending some time in Washington, he was transferred to Boston as assistant agent in charge. While in Boston, Charlie and Diane bought a home in the quiet section of southern New Hampshire. They still live there because the peace and quiet is a welcome relief from the pace of New York and firearms control.

Art Jean is a candidate for Los Angeles Superior Court assistant presiding judge. Art was appointed by Governor Deukmejian to the Long Beach Municipal Court in 1985 and elevated in 1987. When Art first came to the Superior Court he spent a year handling a criminal master calendar and served in 1991 and 1992 as supervising judge of the court's South District. Art has had success in managing court business, and he hopes to "translate those small successes into success for the court as assistant presiding judge and eventually presiding judge." Art is eager to do civil work and participate in the conversion of the downtown civil courtrooms to fast track. Art and Glenda live in Long Beach.
