Boman co-founds GeezerJock magazine Steve Boman ’87, Edina, has cofounded GeezerJock, a magazine and website for active men and women 40 and older. GeezerJock is a serious sports and fitness magazine for adult everyday athletes, covering all the sports people play and also offering relevant tips on training, nutrition, and health. Started less than two years ago with the help of some Chicago investors in the publishing business, GeezerJock’s circulation has grown to 75,000 and advertisers include several major national companies. Eight years ago as a newspaper reporter in Chicago, Boman shared a desk, beer, and conversation with Notre Dame graduate Sean Callahan, whom Boman describes as the “more literate sports-page guy.” In addition to being one of the best sandlot football combos in the area, the two also shared a book idea for active, older people, and that idea evolved into a publication. Boman ran track and cross country at Gustavus and currently stays active by playing tennis and jogging. Check out <www.geezerjock.com>, or e-mail Boman at <sboman@geezerjock.com>.

On top of the world Beth Stolberg ’87 and her friend, Tom Hedgecoth, recently returned from a trip to China that included a visit to Lhasa, Tibet. They’re pictured standing before Potala Palace. “Visiting the top of the world was not as long an experience as being on top of the hill in St. Peter,” Beth notes, “but it was definitely an education all unto itself.”
