Andrew Bonanno writes, “Murch, Dewey, and Kennel: great to catch up while I was in San Francisco! To the rest of the San Fran crew who couldn’t make it—next year.” DJ Fairbanks reports, “We had our second child this past October. Now that I have my boy, we should be done!!” Jeremy Robert Starr was born October 24, 2012; he’s pictured playing with dad Andrew Starr on page 79.
“I attended a wonderful memorial service for our departed friend, John Flicker ’85,” Cole Brown says. “It was graciously hosted by my brother Gregory ’85 and attended by a number of our close friends. A special thanks to John Knight ’83 for his assistance and support. We were all saddened by this tragedy and will always remember ‘Flickadoo’ and what a great friend and person he was. Flicker always brought a smile to my face, and as much crazy fun as we had over the last 30 years, it pains me to realize he’s gone. I can still visualize one of the best summers of my life in 1985 with Gregory, Flicker, and Brad O’Sullivan ’85. We did more in Europe that summer than a bunch of blokes on V-E day. I know we all ended up with our still present ‘it’s on thin skin it will fade’ ankle tattoos from Juan-les-pins, France. Of course John had the best one. We all know he will be sorely missed and we are all that much emptier without him. I can only hope we will not have an opportunity to repeat this for many years to come. Be worthy brothers.”
