Hello, classmates. Just think, if we were a year older we could have visited the White House this May. Maybe next year Mark Dayton and Lamar Smith will co-host a cookout in the Capitol. Anyway, as I mentioned last time, several of your colleagues (I am no longer claiming them) carried out a 25-year-old threat and came to the Kentucky Derby. While we could not surpass consumption records set back in the 1960s, we gave…

Happy spring, classmates! I have received more news than will fit in print, so let’s get right to it. Dr. Stephen Billick has received the Distinguished Service Award from the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law. He writes: “It was a surprise to find that the years have passed and now I’m old enough to get awards like this!” One question, Steve: Should a psychiatrist be surprised about things…
Greetings, classmates. It’s time for the annual indulgence in which we list all of you who are going broke sending your offspring to dear old Eli, from which you obviously hope they will go on to run for president someday. Here, therefore, are the future Bushes, Kerrys, Deans, Liebermans, etc. John R. Adams, Elizabeth Ann ’04; Frank S. Ashburn,Emma Katherine ’04; Terence G. Benson, Kara E. ’06; James R. Broach, Matthew J….
Greetings classmates, and Happy New Year! I must humbly apologize (Trent Lott’s getting to me) for missing the deadline for last issue, but I attribute the failing to my annual appointment with classmates at the Yale Club for Yale-Harvard weekend. This year, a most impressive group assembled in Manhattan. It included Don Galligan, Steve Dixon, Jim Schweitzer, Tim Harris, Quentin Lawson, Jeffrey Rosen…
Hello, all of you classmates. I hope you can tear yourselves away from the early-bird specials (assuming we’re all 55 now) long enough to read these reports from our colleagues. I seem to sense a trend of increased communication accompanied by apologies for remaining silent for so long. Are we longing for the good old days? Whatever, here’s a note from the irrepressible Michael Harrington. “On…
Hey, guys! Thanks for all the notes. Must be an exciting summer for many of you. First item of business heading to the fall season is a notification of big doin’s in Cambridge come November. John Gazzoli sent on the following announcement: “Classmates are planning another get-together around the Yale-Harvard game in Cambridge this November. There certainly will be a brunch at Lang Wheeler’s house…
Frank Allan Suttle, age 55, passed away peacefully at his home in Pasadena, CA, on August 18, 2002, with his loving family by his side. He will be remembered as a devoted father, a beloved husband, and an extraordinary human being by the many people whose lives he touched over the years. Full of humor,…
“Greetings, classmates. Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer. We begin this edition with a submission from my predecessor, the eminent Asian oil man, William Bogaty. It was first sent to me a year ago, but was eaten twice by my cyberdog. I am happy to present it here. ”My two small children were baptized, on April 14, 2001 (Easter eve), in St. Alban’s Episcopal Church in Tokyo….
Published in the guardian on May 21, 2002 George Alec Effinger, who has died aged 55, was one of science fiction’s most humorous and eclectic writers. He burst into the field in the early 1970s, with a style that echoed the irreverence of the times. His first novel, What Entropy Means To Me (1972), drew…
Greetings, classmates. Not much space for small talk this month, because our classmates have been unusually communicative recently. So here goes. Larry Weisswrote from Florida to inform me that I had omitted a Yale offspring from a recent accounting. His daughter Jessica Leigh is in the Class of 2003, he reported, and I can only respond that I hope the registrar is aware of her presence, since they…
Hello, classmates. I hope your new years have gotten off to auspicious starts. Before getting into the mailbag, I must recount the highly disturbing experience which your faithful correspondent and other classmates had in New York in November. As is our wont, we assembled on Yale-Harvard weekend for our annual mini-reunion at the Yale Club of NYC. When we discovered that the club was, inexplicably, not showing the broadcast of The Game…

Greetings. As of this writing, I have not received word of any classmates who were September 11 victims, but the odds are that some of you were directly touched by those events. On behalf of all members of the Class of ’69, I extend our deepest sympathies to those of you who suffered the loss of family or friends. Fortunately, most of the news I have received since last writing is happier. For example, Doug Groome and wife…
