Sadly, this column closes with the news that classmate Alan Rudman passed away in February at his home in Bridgton, Maine. The son of former U.S. Senator Warren Rudman of New Hampshire, Alan was known and loved by many classmates. He played varsity football at Dartmouth and was a member of Theta Delta Chi. Alan received his law degree from Boston College in 1983. He was admitted to the bars in Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia. We extend our thoughts and prayers to Alan's relatives and extended family. He is missed.

That's it. See you in June!
