Relief

Thanks to Hardie Jackson and his family, five stranded Atlanta drivers were able to sleep in his house last night after the traffic debacle cause by three inches of snow.

Chris Davey will undergo hip replacement surgery tomorrow,  We wish him well.

Relief for many...

Shout outs

So many classmates made our B&B evening memorable!  Ben Patton, Chris Flagg, Nelse Clark and Peter Geary were able join Doug Schmidt and John Knight in person and we even had a surprise guest! (more later).

We also got calls, emails and texts from Dean Singewald, Eric Suher, Jim Wareck, Dave Venman, Jon Gottscho and Hank Lemieux.  We were especially sad that Hank had moved back to San Fran only days before and that our date change didn't work out for others like Wolf, Cruikshank and Spence Brown.

Ben wins the "first responder award" but Nelse Clark showed his brass cahones when he pulled out opened bottles of his Privateer Rum to show his sincerely interested classmates.  Bartender tensions were dissipated after Nelse flashed his signature smile and let them take a whiff too...

Ben is ramping up his I Was There Film Workshops for PTSD surviving veterans, Nelse is marketing Privateer far and wide, Chris is in NYC real estate and Peter is in advertising.  Schmidt makes it all happen, no matter what "it" is!

And the special guest?  Phil Toub '84 (but did not graduate for disciplinary reasons).  Schmidt had been in a meeting when the dots started to connect so Phil got the invite...

Hope to catch some more classmates next time and to hear that our west coast branch makes an effort to establish meet-ups out there.  Might have to be Sushi & Perrier instead of Beer & Burger?

Now it's parents!

DA Reception in Greenwich last night yielded this impromptu pic of Tom '53 and Terry Flagg - parents of our very own Chris Flagg.  It was a great event with the Head of School, four faculty and 14 student singers.

Twilight Skate

A fac brat taking advantage of the ice. Awesome!

Bad Timing

Here's what happened on Dr. Adam Weinberg's Facebook page when he announced he had just  joined twitter.

Knight was chillin' (literally) at home with his 8 year old and Steward was showing restraint in his Houston hotel Good Times!!!
