1968

Reunion hangover or- perhaps better—afterglow...but also, light news since June. Especially after the superb 40th reunion yearbook, which has nearly 500 newsy profiles that this poor column won't be able to match. Besides the reunion June saw the graduation of three legacies: Thomas Atwood 'OB, son of Steve Atwood and wife Carmen; Zachary Mayer 'OB, son of Chris Mayer and Mary Lee Grondin; and Thaddeus Olchowski, son of Greg Olchowski. ki. Egad, their 40th reunion will be in 2048! A couple items in the mailbox this summer: Pete Wonson, the SWB bassist this past reunion, wrote from Roanoke, Virginia, where he thought he had retired after 34 years in education before getting "called back" to serve as dean of faculty at National College, in Salem, Virginia (a suburb of Roanoke). From his letter he seems also to be a volunteer publicity director for Roanoke, noting urban amenities but a small town feeling, a Vermont-New Hampshire atmosphere with virtually no snow to shovel, a farmers market, symphony, Single A professional baseball team and nearby Blue Ridge mountains and where a bad traffic jam is no longer than five minutes. He met wife Lee at an outdoor concert by The Band ("Cripple Creek," "The Weight"). A second marriage for both of them, they have five children, two of his, two of hers and an informally adopted doctor son from Calcutta. Pete also noted his pleasure in helping with the reunion book, including talking to a long-lost flight school friend of Robbie Peacock and to Robbies roommate Monk Williams. Looking ahead, Pete (and others for sure!) are looking forward to opportunities to re-gather the SWB, perhaps at our class birthday in 2011. Some PR news: Bill Kolasky was recently chosen to serve as the associate editor of the Antitrust Magazine with the American Bar Associations antitrust section. Bill is a partner in the Washington, D.C., firm of WilmerHale. The firm includes classmates Roger Witten and Gary Horlick. More law firm kudos: Peter Brown, of the firm Baker and Hostetler LLP, has been elected chair of the commerical and federal litigation law section of the New York State Bar Association. He leads the firms technology law practice. Depending upon when this magazine hits your mailbox, there will be/would have been a class mini-reunion in Hanover the weekend of October 10 (Yale Game), and looking ahead, a reminder to plan for the week of February 28, 2009, for the nth annual ski trip, at Steamboat Springs, in Colorado. That event is getting bigger every year. Hope the mid-fall finds you well; keep the news coming. And be sure to vote in November.
