1992

That's right, ladies and gentlemen, it's time for another edition of "while I lead my boring life, my friends are saving the world."

Got a note from Jon Kohl, who forwarded an e-mail from Dan Petit announcing the publishing of his book, Real Visual Basic: A Practical Approach toEnterprise Development in the CorporateWorld. Now, I have not yet seen this book on The New York Times bestseller list (and I check it...I got time, believe you me), but Jon—ever the skeptic, obviously—found it on amazon.com. Basically, the book covers "many important aspects of programming at corporations."

(Dan's words). Jon, meanwhile, is in Honduras as program manager for Rare Center for Tropical Conservation, where they are doing some great work managing protected areas on the north coast of that country.

During the New Year Jon was visited by Chris Arabia, and welcomes any visitors to Tegucigalpa—which, as I look out my window onto snow-covered fields, sounds pretty good right!

Another classmate bringing me down: Hugo Restall who recently became the editorial page editor of the Asian WallStreet Journal, which also entails him to write about the Asian markets for the WallStreet Journal stateside. He is enjoying life in Hong Kong and also welcomes any visitors.

Visual update: attended the birthday party of one Ashley O'Neill (now Kleiderer), who is here in Chicago working for Kraft. She was married to fine, upstanding man named Karl Kleiderer in October.

Two long-overdue shout-outs: to JesseBradley, who sent me a note from lowa City where he is a pastor at the University of lowa. He was visited in September by the Big Man, John Milne. The other goes to Sheila Leonard, who was married to Joseph Peck (thus they are now Joseph and Sheila Leonard-Peck) and created a photography visual images/visual stories company on Martha's Vineyard while also pursuing a writing career (she is a creative writing mentor at the Martha's Vineyard Charter School).

Finally, another sign we are getting older? Heard from one of the truly great guys in our class, Willie Williams, and he is the newly elected president of the Dartmouth Club of Maryland. Classmates in the Baltimore area should call him if they want to be active. He graduated from Georgetown Law in 1998 and is working for Piper, Marbury, Rudnick and Wolfe LL.P. in the commercial litigation practice group.

As any good alumni president would, Willie had news on several people. EricKlein graduated with Willie from Georgetown and is now clerking for a federal judge in Florida; Calvin Blackburn graduated from Vanderbilt Law a few years back and is working for a firm in Birmingham, Ala.; Alex Rundlet graduated from Penn Law and is clerking for a federal judge in Baltimore; Dwight Miller graduated from medical school at Howard and is doing his residency in D.C.; and Doug Miniati has moved to California since completing his medical studies. Lawyers and doctors? Suddenly, my classmates are moving in high society. How did I miss that train?
