Around the web

Lots of great photos of classmates found here and there.

Top to bottom:

Chris Flagg and daughter Emmeline '18 at Choate Day. Given the smiles - it must have been early in the day...

Willis Elliman looking good....

Chris Lynch looking like he's on assignment...

A working pay phone outside the grocery store near me. Show it to your kids so they know what it looked like - when it was relevant...

Thanks for sending pics and for putting up with my copying stuff from your FB pages...

31 years later...

Some of our classmates we don't remember very well, usually because we had limited interaction with them back at DA.  Well, take the time to connect with them if they are nearby because it's well worth it!

Case in point: Grant Gassman.  Originally from California, Grant went to Colorado College after DA and pretty much never left the state.  He's working at a european reinsurance company these days with a 35 hour work week (half-day EVERY Friday!) so we met for Friday beverages...

It was so much fun to catch up on what we had been doing since DA and what brought us to Denver.  Kudos to Grant too for facing down the impending 5-0 with an improved diet that helped him lose 40+ pounds this summer.  He's happy and that's about all we can ask for at this point!

His hobby is racing his old Porsche (apologies for the layman's lame description of what is probably a great machine - even though its engine is currently broken). Often his fair weather Fridays take him east into the Plains to race on a grand prix like track.  He, of course, does all his own work on his cars.  The street ride he is standing next to is pretty customized as well: i.e. "it's pretty good in the snow"....

UPDATE:

It was ugly in the livestream events:

Volleyball CRH 3- DA 0
Football: CRH 45 - DA 0

I think we fared better in soccer and FH...

Well, that's it from Denver...Maybe my day will be saved by the Broncos tripping up against winless Raiders...
