Staying Connected With Your Classmates THE NIFTY ’50s 1955 - GEORGE COLBURN has produced a new Ike documentary which will premiere in September during the week of the new Eisenhower memorial dedication in Washington, D.C. His new project is called, “The Shape of History” and is being created with a MacArthur Foundation Genius Fellow, an independent biologist by the name of Dr. Stuart Kauffman. “The project is all about how we are crushing the other living species in our biosphere and the ways we can halt our slide into disaster.” THE TECHNO ’80s 1989 - DAVID ANDES recently completed his 21st and 22nd full marathons. Last October, he ran the Twin Cities Marathon in Minnesota. He was registered for the Pittsburgh Marathon last spring, but it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, he decided to run it virtually in the areas close to his home that still permitted outside activities at the time. It was not quite the same without the support of crowds or other runners, but his family made a finish line, and one of his daughters ran the 26th mile with him. David lives in Chicago with his wife and three daughters. He practices as a Clinical Social Worker with chronically homeless veterans in a long-term housing program at the Jesse Brown VA Medical Facility.
THE VIRTUAL ’00s 2001 - CHRIS MEAGHER served as the national press secretary for the former Mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and former presidential candidate, Pete Butttigieg. More recently, he has been helping Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer as she works on the state’s response to COVID-19. THE CONNECTED ’10s 2010 - SEAN CARNEY graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Ph.D. in Mathematics in May 2020. He earned his undergraduate degrees from the University of Michigan in Physics and Mathematics. This fall, Sean will start post-graduate research and teach at UCLA.
