ESU in England; Yale B.A.; teaching (wanted to be my own "kinda" TD - didn't work); Villanova J.D., law, family, flying, writing, now hiking with dog with a thru-hike (remember Joe?) of the AT in my sights and hope to share wisdom-light with hurting others down the road.

Hoping to finish up some big cases that it is harder and harder to muster for and then retire to write, work with photos and videos and hit the trail (see above).

Do you have recent news that you'd like to appear in Class Notes?

Not really.

Do you think you will attend our 55th reunion June 5-8, 2014?

No because, with my year in England, my 50th at college is this year.

Anything else you'd like to share?

I wish I'd said good-bye to TD when graduation was over before I left. I wish I'd known Kevin Leary better back then. I remember well hustling down to the lower fields to play soccer in the fall, Christmas Concert, Vespers, Sacred Concert, skiing down chapel hill, coming in first for Hermon in a tough JV cross-country skiing meet after falling off the trail down hill in deep snow, ski-jumping so far in my first trestle jump that I landed on the flat and did a butt-plant, a coke freezing on my window sill in Crossley and walking out into the -40 ? cold that day and green grass after a long winter Freshman Year. And who in Overton could ever forget the fall colors out the bathroom windows, across the Connecticut river?
