insurance industry. It started at Liberty Mutual Insurance Company in Boston as a personal lines underwriter. It has included working for numerous companies and surplus lines wholesale brokerage firms in the Boston area, including opening a U.S. office for a Lloyd’s of London reinsurance broker. One of the most enjoyable positions was serving as the program manager for the AIG/Willis Mountain Guard Ski Program for six years. I was able to see and ski the best ski areas in the United States and had a race team at the AIG Ski Challenge Charity at Stowe, VT for 10 years. In 2009, I left AIG to head up the property division of the newly formed middle market division of Liberty Mutual in the Boston home office. Due to a corporate reorganization in 2010, my position was eliminated, and I was assigned the position I now have as senior property referral underwriter. Funny how it works out—I started my career at Liberty Mutual and will end my career there after many other stops in between. In June 1991, Suzanne Moschitto, a reading specialist from Medford, and I were married at Belmont Hill. On a hot steamy Saturday with HENRY SAWYER in attendance, we said our vows in the Hamilton Chapel with a reception following in the LaCroix Room in what was then the

‘new’ gymnasium. From a family standpoint I did things a little backward, as my son Colin was born in June 1994. He has been an absolute pleasure, and I am so glad I did not miss the experience. Currently he is attending Fairfield University at the Dolan School of Business in its Class of 2016. Suzanne is retired after 35 years of teaching, and I am thinking about retiring from Liberty sometime after Colin graduates. If I do, I would like to work on a part-time basis mentoring and training younger associates at a large insurance agency owned by a close business friend, but only time will tell. My close connection with the Alumni House staff over the years as class agent, past president of the Alumni Association, and a member of the Corporation has been a wonderful and rewarding experience. As of this writing, I hope to see as many of you as possible at the reunion and look forward to hearing what’s been happening in your lives.” From JONATHAN HUBBARD comes: “I have temporarily mislaid subjects but will try to communicate with verbs and objects (regrets to Messrs. Plummer, Willey, and Duncan). After (1) repeating the Fifth Form, (2) compiling the worst wrestling record in

Belmont Hill history, and (3) carving the dullest panel ever, I entered Harvard under its mistaken assumption that I had lettered in hockey. Ha! I graduated with honors, but needed two years of summer school due to a catastrophic freshman year. I avoided military service due to a history of ear infections. In 1970, I met future Young Bride (YB), who was on a semester hiatus from the University of Chicago to study Spanish in Cuernavaca, Mexico. I married YB in 1976, after working as an AP stringer in São Paulo, Brazil, maintenance electrician in Chicago, and trust officer in a Portland, ME bank. With two small sons, I moved with YB to Lincoln, MA and lived with parents for 10 years (this was very hard on YB). After getting an M.B.A. from BU, I became an investor relations/corporate communications professional for a series of Boston-area firms that either acquired other companies or were acquired themselves. (Never discount the old boy network, as I was hired for the first investor relations job by CHIP BROADHURST.) At YB’s urging, we moved back to the Chicago area in 2001, where I worked as a corporate communications consultant for eight years before retiring. After getting her
