Dick McKelvey Funeral Reception

It looked like an opening faculty meeting from 1982 for a few minutes in the Memorial Buidling lobby at DA today. After a wonderful service for 300 in St. James Church in Greenfield, Rev McKev was further remembered by family, friends and colleagues. Our condolences go out especially to Dick's wife, Joan and our classmate, Kevin.

Double Vision

Yup, that's D. Sean Nottage and Pierce Brosnan playing dress up in the Bahamas. Sean pretends to have a day job but his Facebook page is loaded with shots of him as a movie star look alike and a voice actor. What's next, perhaps a Gillete ad???

Home is where the stuff is

Mark Beaubien bought me lunch the other day (thanks again!). Great to see him up at the Lady Kiligrew, located in the old mill he owns in Montague. The Night Kitchen restaraunt can also be found there, along with the great used book experience known as the Book Mill and even a Turn It Up cd store! Things are looking up in Montague City! Mark continues his engineering passions with his company Yankee Environmental Systems (YES!) and admits he's likely to know soon if global warming is real.

Spence Brown's Neighborhood

Nestled in the cozy neighborhood in NYC known as Times Square, our classmate who keeps FM Radio alive, Spence Brown, can sometimes be found in his office on the 4th floor right over the McDonalds. Look him up next time you're there!

There's a new world leader

Big Kudos to (Dr.) Adam Weinberg on his appointment as the next President and CEO of World Learning / SIT in Brattleboro, VT! Lots of nice things said about him in the article so please check it out.

Rev McKev passes

I'm sorry to have to report that longtime DA faculty member Richard (Dick) McKelvey passed away last night. Services will be held at 10:00 AM Saturday, July 11 at St. James Church in Greenfield, MA. Any good stories about him come to mind? JK
