1952

A large clump of classmates in one easy-to-research place is the nicest thing that could happen to a class secretary. Wey Lundquist mailed the 40th Reunion Report for the Harvard Law School class of 1955 and "made my day" and this column. There were 20'52s in the class (along with scatterings of'49s,'50s, and '51 s) beginning with...

John Ballard, who is in the farthest place from any place in the Australian National University political science department, Canberra, where he teaches legal education. He moved to Oz from England. Roger Branigin lives in West Lafayette, Ind., and practices as partner of Stuart and Branigin, where he emphasizes business and corporate law. He has three children.

Doug Corderman lives in Chesterfield, Mo., but moved many places along the way. He worked in the aerospace industry until 1990, when he became president of the U.S. National Senior Sports Organization, a non-profit charity which sponsors the Senior Olympics. Doug himself is very active in sports, competing in triathlons, running and cycling events, playing on an over-60 basketball team, and enjoying winter skiing, which gives him a feel for the 250,000 participants in 18 sports competing in categories from age 55 to 100-plus. National championships are conducted every two years with , the last one being in May 1995 at San Antonio, Tx. Doug is married to Joan, who is also an attorney in general civil practice. He has four grown children, another one in college, and one still in high school.

Cole Dorsey started practice in 1955 in Wilmington, Del., and has been there since in his own firm specializing in general practice. (Is that an oxymoron?) He pioneered in race and sex discrimination cases and environmental law. He is married to Astrid and they have four children.

Fred Forni is married to Louise and they have four children and two grandchildren. He retired from U.S. Industries Inc.

Less Geller, who starred in these columns a year ago, is busy writing after a distinguished legal career practicing and teaching. He is married to Phyllis and they have three children. Dan Gutterman's life took quite a turn in 1991 when he became council to Winthrop, Stimson, Putnam & Roberts, one of the Manhattan giants. Since then he has been professor of a graduate legal studies program at Central European University in Budapest, a professor at the Academy of Innovation Management in Moscow, a legal advisor for foreign investment and business development of the Albanian government, and a consultant for the revision of Russian commercial statutes. He and his wife, Susan, have two children and one grandchild.

Mike Jones joined the family dairy farm in Fort Atkinson, Wise., right out of law school. Now he is executive vice president, is married to Joan, and has four children. While there are a lot of people named Jones, there is only one sausage named "Jones" and that is Mike's.

This is as interesting and diverse a group as one could find. And there are more to go.
