Helping '85 a little

Remember all those rugrat sophomores when we were seniors?  They were the Class of '85.  One of them, Syd Williams, was wise enough to marry a motivated and aspiring author who has just published her first book, Overseas.  The book tour starts May 10th in Greenwich and will often feature DA alumni as the "Charlie Rose type interviewer". Appearances in NYC, Madison, CT and Peterborough, NH follow in May and the rest of the schedule is here: http://www.beatrizwilliams.com/appearances.

Maybe not '83 news, but at least its another good book!

83 Works ADC in NYC

Thanks again to Flagg, Wolf, Schmidt and Wareck for making calls last week at the NYC phonathon.  We talked to a bunch of classmates, reminded them of our next reunion in June 2013 and had a lot of laughs.  We even raised some money for the Annual Fund during the April Donor Challenge (there's still time!).  Early in the evening, Chris Flagg called Wareck, and when Jim realized we were calling from 44th street, he delivered his donation in person (pictured).  Jim was 3 days from finishing shooting his second movie (this one not written by him).  Jim and Brad Weir are working on their next screenplay...

Will Wolf is at CSFB but travels so much we were thrilled to have him with us before he caught his train back to DC.  Flagg is in real estate in NYC and Schmidt is a self proclaimed "business maker", putting people with ideas in touch with people with money.

A better cast of characters you couldn't ask for!
