While sitting in my office a few months ago, it was announced that Bill Burger was on the phone. Bill was only at Dartmouth freshman year (he transferred to Wharton) and I had not seen him in 45 years. Bill headed a family glass business in New Jersey for many years and in 1987 decided to goto law school. He passed the bar in 1991 and is practicing in Newark. He asked about many classmates and wishes to join us at the next holiday luncheon. Received an e-mail from Ed Scott with a new e-mail address, . Isabel (Ed's "latest spouse") has joined him in retirement, and it is "time to play." He is back to boating after a four- to five-year absence.

Rip Coffin has embarked on a new adventure Consultants on Purpose, LLC —to assist non-profit organizations and public bodies and to help for profit organizations that need to know how to work with community groups or want to find a public service outlet. Carol and Rip became grandparents for the first time in mid-December. The Coffins cruised with John and Jane Dabney mostly along the coast of Vietnam earlier this year. While in Chicago during the Christmas holiday, visited Steve and Carol Mullins and had a private tour of Steve's American Toby Jug Museum. On display are over 1,500 Toby and Character jugs, collected by Steve over many years, illustrating their evolution from the eighteenth century up to the present time. The museum features hundreds of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Toby jugs by various well-known English Staffordshire potters, together with fall collections produced by early and late twentieth-century makers. A must visit if you are in the Evanston, Ill., area.
