We are excited to announce the 10th Class Colloquium in our popular ongoing series.
For our guest, Classmate Frank Shorter, the number 10 surely conjures thoughts of the 10,000 meters, an event he ran to train for The Marathon. No, not the marathon of questions we’ll pose to him, but the Olympic Marathon which he ran and won, in Munich on September 10, 1972.
Here’s a great way to socialize … and exercise your brain: Learn Bridge and take it to solid, intermediate levels in just 10 weekly lessons!
Classmate David Howorth, certified by the American Contract Bridge League for both face-to-face and online teaching, is offering bridge lessons to any classmates who are interested.
Sign up here before March 28st.
Editor’s Note: Classmates Bill Sacco, a professional photographer, and Jim Porter, a Ph.D. scientist, have been working hard to bring Bill’s stunningly beautiful coffee-table book, A Photographic Guide to the Caribbean Coral Reef, to a bookstore near you.
When this book is printed, its 200+ pages and more than 500 color photographs will drive the cover price quite high. But Bill has generously offered all classmates early-bird access to a high-resolution pdf of the final draft for FREE!

The Class Notes published prior to 1995 were never digitized by YAM. We wanted them available to you, so I drove down to the Reference Library at Sterling with my scanner and physically scanned back issues of YAM, from 1969 to 1995.
I then ran those scans through an optical character recognition (OCR) program to convert the images to searchable text. And then I converted all those pages to one, very large PDF file, available below!
