Class Notes: Gary Vujnovich died on February 7. Gary graduated from George Washington University Law School after Yale. He is survived by his wife, Jessie Carpenter, and two children. He was devoted to his family and friends. Bob Horvitz writes: “I was part of Gary’s rooming group in Davenport. . . . Gary was modest and shy—witty in a sort of bleak way—a thoroughly good person but sad. Many years later when he was living alone in a suburb of Washington, DC, I visited him and he was the same but more so. I believe he became a teacher and had already survived a bout of cancer. But that visit was long enough ago that I can’t be sure of any details.”
