boys spend a lot of time there hunting and fishing. Sounds like Scott has it mostly figured out.
30th Reunion: June 5-6, 2009.
Bob Bradshaw is our expat classmate. He is living in Dar-esSalaam, Tanzania, and is doing all kinds of interesting work over there for the Centers for Disease Control. He currently is managing all of the CDC’s construction and renovation projects there. He recently was back in the United States and made it up to Richmond to visit with Paul Sheehy and Moultrie Dotterer ’82. He encourages us all to come visit.

Tom Garland and Diana Farrell were married on May 10, 2008. The wedding was held at Huntingfield Farm in Afton, Va. The reception that evening was held at Springhaven Farm in Charlottesville. My wife, Tricia, and I attended. We were joined by Becka and Jeff Flynn for the weekend and, as you can see from the photo, many other EHS Alumni were in attendance. A great time had by all.
A crowd of EHS friends and family gathered for the wedding of Diana Farrell and Tom Garland ’80.

On April 2, 2008, Deirdra Adams and Juergen Taylor ’81 were married in a private ceremony at sea by the boat’s captain in St. Croix, in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Allan Goldsmith does apparently read the alumni magazine, because shortly after I asked after him in an earlier edition of this very column, he fired this off to me: “I read the class notes and saw where you asked where Allan is. I am in Columbus, Ga., currently working for a telecommunications company called Acom Communications. This is the town where Terrell Bowers ’79 grew up, and, yes, I
am told that he created quite a stir here in his younger days before going off to Episcopal. Becky and I have just recently celebrated our 20th anniversary. We have three children: Lara Allan (17), Julianna (14), and Gabriel (11). All is going well. Thanks very much for inquiring and for keeping the class notes current and well informed. I am sorry for missing the Reunion and can offer no excuses

I recently caught up with Scott Cornelson. I tell you how in a minute. Scott recently bought a farm about 30 minutes from Greenville, S.C., and is running a development company with friend of his. As Scott tells it, “About seven years ago a buddy of mine in the business and I started talking about establishing a company that specializes in rural land sales in the upstate region of South Carolina. At the time, there were very few companies focusing on raw land, and we thought we were the guys to fill the void. Overall, it has been a very rewarding partnership and a somewhat profitable one. I enjoy the work because I spend a lot of time outdoors with typically very nice people. Wearing jeans to work is a bonus.” Scott is raising his three boys, ages 17, 15, and 12, and managing to get to a few Clemson football games. He loves his farm, though, and he and the
It’s an election year and Thomas Mills is busy working hard to, as he puts it, “make every state blue.” For his take on all things political, please visit Thomas’ Web site at www.tmccampaigns.com. Walter Rand needs your vote. If you live in Wake County, N.C., that is. Walter has tossed his hat into the political ring and is running for district judge there. We will keep you abreast of the election news, and there is no doubt that Walter will issue some landmark rulings from the bench should he triumph. Bill Hughes ’79 was kind enough to drop me an e-mail complimenting me for my work on the class notes Reunion edition. As Bill is the Tom Wolfe of class notes, you can be sure that I flattered by his praise. I will return the gesture and say for publication that I thought Bill’s recent effort that paired his classmates to songs popular during their EHS years was a masterstroke. Okay, so how am I in the loop with all these people? Facebook. Like many parents, I stumbled into social networking in general – and Facebook in particular – as a way of monitoring my oldest child’s Internet activity. When I registered I gave some basic information about myself – schools, hometown, and other generic facts. Well, Facebook took that seemingly innocuous data
