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, compassion and goodwill; a family man and an avid outdoorsman; Allan excelled at living life to its fullest and enriched…
“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 as much on the knowing postmodernism of Thomas Pynchon as on the new wave sf of Thomas Disch or Philip…
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…
We need a volunteer who knew this Classmate to help assemble information for an “In Memoriam” remembrance. Please use the Contact Us form to get in touch with one of our editors. What we need from you is anything about this person that we can use to create a proper tribute — memories from our student days, links to obits that ran in newspapers, pictures, what you know about their lives, email addresses of survivors…
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…

Welcome to the “back-to-school” edition of class notes. Even though you’re reading this in October, it is being written as our little kiddies–or in some cases, grand-kiddies–are headed back to the classrooms after summer vacation. Mine was spent trekking around American golf courses in my best impression of Steve Williams (Tiger’s caddy), although neither I nor my player (son Aaron)…

Here in Kentucky we’re prepping for the Derby and figuring out what to do with Rick Pitino. But that’s our problem. You, on the other hand, have kept busy on the class listserv, tackling the issues attendant to the accelerating rate at which these notes move toward the front of the magazine. Somehow, the “older is better” mantra at best seems debatable. Wentworth Earl Miller posted…

Hello, classmates. As a sometimes-grateful participant in the class listservice, I have finally dug my way out of the inauguration controversy, and have been able to separate the e-wheat from the e-chaff, as we say in cyberland. Many of you have reported in, making my job easy enough even for our new president. Therefore, with no further ado, let’s hear from you. Tim Harris writes that he has published his first novel….

Greetings, friends. Just in time for Christmas, a couple of classmates have been blessed with gifts, both of love and tax deductions. Andrew Wechsler sent the following interesting birth announcement: “Wife Christine and I returned from Siberia with a new addition to our clan, a 14-month-old cutie named Sarah Kate. Son Joshua (3) swings between being the proud, protective older brother and a victim…
