Bob, still spry 72, was upset in the quarterfinals by a young 40-something but I am glad to report [...]

Sandy and I along with the boys (Hunter-12 and Max-7) caught a Central Connecticut State basketball game today, thanks to Paul Schlickmann, the University’s AD. While Paul had official duties to tend to, we did get a chance to chat for a few minutes at halftime and at the end of the game. Paul has [...]

I took PEODU to lunch recently. That’s President Elect of Denison University, Dr. Adam Weinberg. I couldn’t bear the thought of him no longer being 30 miles away, although we’ve only seen each other four times in the six years he’s been nearby… And if you asked the thoughtful and reflective former defense-man from Dallas, [...]

Whitney Sheppard is finishing writing a 125-year history (1887-2012) of the Horace Mann School for publisher Heritage Histories, which is the province of Tim Noonan ’70.

Last August, Eileen and I took a long weekend up to DA to participate in D2R2, a cycling fundraiser for land preservation in Franklin County. It was my first visit since ’91 and Eileen’s first look at the school. We arrived Friday morning and set up camp in a field just south of the village. [...]

Taylor Watts ’83 and son made an admission visit this fall and decided to take the Stanley Can for a walk and a photo before departing…Nice!

Kudos to Sean Nottage’83 for spotting the DA alum in the crowd (Brad duPont ’82) then having the wherewithal to snap a pic and forward to the ’83 class blog! “Saw Brad duPont at Atlantis during the Battle 4-Atlantis NCAA Basketball Tournament. As it was not a LAX tournament, Brad was not there for the [...]
