1987

Hello, fellow ’87s!

I am excited to report that this past September our class president Tracey Salmon-Smith was admitted as a fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, one of the premier legal associations in North America. Tracey actually had to miss our “Off the Green” reunion in Chicago because the induction ceremony was taking place at the same time in Rome, Italy.

Those who attended our “Off the Green” reunion in Chicago have been putting their swag to good use. Many of our classmates have been sharing photos of themselves wearing their Patagonia “puffer” jackets in various corners of the United States. Recent sightings include Shana Hopperstead in Park City, Utah; Nancy Davis in Northern California; and Kathleen (McMahon) Bochman and Julie (Park) Hubble in Hanover.

Our Peace, Justice, Respect (PJR) social justice committee presented another listening session in early February. Derrick Lopez, assistant superintendent at Detroit Public Schools, led a discussion with Rob Smith, director of production and sourcing for Up West/Express retail stores, via Zoom on “Representation Matters: If You Can See It, You Can Be It.” Approximately 50 of our classmates attended the lively and inspiring discussion. And, as I write this, the PJR committee is finalizing plans for another edition of our 21-day social justice immersion program, to be presented in April.

Hoping that all of you are happy and well. Please send me your news!
