Happy New Year, century, etc. Aren’t we Yalies, as opposed to all other college graduates in the world (and non-graduates, for that matter), lucky to have another momentous event to look forward to next year? I refer, of course, to Yale’s 300th birthday in 2001. We can get a head start on the celebration in New Orleans this April, when the class holds another mini-reunion in New Orleans. At this…
Published in the BAMC Beat (Brooke Army Medical Center) Vol.2, No.6, June 2002: Doctor to be remembered at ribbon cutting It almost seems fictional — too good to be true. The story of a man battling one of the most painful types of cancer and still managing to put in 12 hours of work a day. The story of a man who grabbed a pen and pencil, designed a women’s imaging section he knew…
Hello, everyone. You seem to be awakening from summer comas, as information is trickling in from classmates. Maybe it has something to do with the Bulldogs’ excellent 5-1 start, or the soccer victory over then top-ranked Indiana, but I am glad to hear from you. First, for those who have been losing sleep over the future of my predecessor Mr. Bogaty, who is caught in the Mobil-Exxon mega-merger, I have learned that he will become CFO of…
Well, fellow classmates, I feel like a columnist on deadline without an idea. There is little news to report this month. I suppose hurricanes, droughts, earthquakes, and vacations may be responsible, but you have been uncharacteristically noncommunicative. Therefore, like that columnist — or an unprepared Eli — I must rely on my wits and peripheral sources. I shall segue into one with the news…

Survivors: a daughter, Christine L. Brubaker, and his mother, Lula Mae Brubaker. Memorial service: 11 a.m. Saturday, his church, 2108…
This obituary is written from the ‘heart and soul’. It was my pleasure to room with Bill Wilson for 4 years at Yale and one summer in New York City. For 3 years we shared bunks in the same room of a 2 bedroom suite, and only by senior year did we have separate rooms in a 3 room suite. I’ll begin on day one and week one. Our bonding started that early. I arrived…
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…
Without question, one of the highlights of our 30th Reunion was the “Mid-Course Correction” program, an idea conceived and successfully implemented by classmateMacon Cowles. Since we have space and not so much news this month, I asked him to write a brief report on the session, for those who did not have the opportunity to participate. Therefore, allow me to present Macon. On Saturday…
Thirtieth Reunion Maybe if the campus were always as beautiful and the weather as glorious as they were during the three days of reunion, all of us would have found a way to stay around New Haven. Alas, as we know, that must have been a mid-life mirage, and while Woody Collins and Walt Cummings deserve credit for a nearly perfect three days of activities and conditions, it clearly was the turnout of…
Greetings again, classmates. It is only a few days away from reunion, but this is being written in March, while many of us are emerging from the winter blues. I am still digging out of the email deluge resulting from President Chopivsky’s emailing and the responses. For once, those of you not computer savvy should consider yourselves lucky. The “You’ve Got Mail” announcement never was more obnoxious. It should…
Walter Daniel Cantarow, of Norwood, MA, entered into rest Friday (April 30, 1999).

Services will be at Scholossberg & Solomon Memorial Chapel, 824 Washington St., Canton, MA, Tuesday, May 4, 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers, expressions of sympathy in his memory may be donated…
A letter from Thomas Guterbock raises an important issue. Guterbock, writing from his Charlottesville, Virginia, home, reported that he became a father again on September 16, 1998, when his wife Bernice gave birth to daughter Alexandra. He continued: “And just three weeks later I became a grandfather when my eldest daughter, Sara, brought Maia Guterbock into the world.” Now, aside from the…
It has always been clear to me that one day my inability to out-drink Will Bogaty would cost me. Alas, at our Harvard weekend in New York last fall, that shortcoming came home to roost, as it were, and here I am, your new corresponding secretary. That annual mini-reunion, enhanced by the Bulldogs’ avenging the tragic “loss” of three decades earlier, included classmates Ralph Sando, Larry Franks, Steve Dixon…

Okay, so it’s time for another little adventure in Yale-Land. Let’s get down to some stuff to warm your heart and make you feel good about being a 50-plus geezer on the cosine side of the actuarial tables. Remember, remember, that our 30th Class Reunion (right, 30th) comes Memorial Day weekend of 1999. If you haven’t done so already, mark Thursday, May 27 through Sunday, May 30 as the time/space for this activity. Your reunion…
