met his fiancé, Brooke, through his Hollins graduate program after wooing her with his unparalleled wit and male anatomy. They plan to elope in May when she finishes school. Although I didn’t get to see much of him at the party — he was being pulled in a million directions — I did catch up with my old friend, Garland Lynn, who was wearing the same stellar grin and Rainbow flip flops from 2000. Garland and Jacqueline are in the process of renovating a home they bought last year in Charleston and seem anxious to move in. Judging from photos the place is AMAZING so I’m hoping to be invited in 2018. Kent Lowry was slaying the crowd with his quirky jokes while Menard Doswell was his usual, happy self. It was also great to catch up with Landon Anderson (an architect), Justin Belch ’94 and James Erwin ’95. Sarah and Brian Knutson were in typical power couple mode as were the lovely Tyler and Jane Pope Cooper, who recently moved to Sullivan’s Island. Jane and I will be in the Bahamas next week to celebrate her big birthday with lots of young Old Girls, so I’ll be sure to make you all jealous with stories of sun, sand, and sin in the next issue. All the best to you in 2018!!!

Bill Allen (H) 919-781-0805 (O) 919-784-8371 williamwallen@gmail.com 25th Reunion: June 2022
Hey friends (and Scott Harris)! I hope everyone has had a great start to 2018. I was a little late with my solicitation for notes, so I apologize for not leaving you enough time to get back in touch with me. I can only assume that everyone has decided to follow my lead and quit work to follow Phish full time.They don’t tour nearly as much as they used to, so if you see me in the parking lot, don’t be surprised when I charge you $250 for a grilled cheese. I need to make the most of the limited time I’m out there making ends meet. Anyway, life in Raleigh is great, and our local alumni presence continues to expand! I mentioned last time that Jim Goodwin and his family are now here, and I recently learned that Joe Segrave sees the virtues of living in my little hamlet as well. He plans on moving this summer; as his growing car dealership
painting, and decathlon. His relationship with turkey tetrazzini is one that could never be, and he often finds himself staring off into the distance, looking at nothing in particular, wondering what could have been with that delicious pile of beige.
Ladson Webb ’97 with wife Xandria and son Ladson.
network continues to expand, Raleigh offers him a chance to manage it more efficiently. It also puts him and his family squarely in the middle of the mountains and the coast, two places very important to him. It’ll be great to have him here once that sea breeze blows him this way! In other career news, Nicole Nicolette has opened her own law firm in West Palm Beach. Her attempt at making that sound boring failed though. I’d be happy doing just about anything in that part of the world. Sounds like a great move for Nicole and I’m happy she’s happy. Ladson Webb was sorry to have missed our reunion, but he looks forward to seeing everyone at the 25th, which we know will be really well attended. Right?! Anyway, he and the fam are still in Virginia Beach and they recently celebrated Ladson IV’s 2nd birthday. Ladson III also completed the undergrad portion of a 5-year BS/MS in Mechanical Engineering; he has now moved onto his thesis about redesigning wind tunnel instrumentation for NASA’s Langley Research Center. I understood every word of that. All sounds like great news and a huge accomplishment for Ladson, my 3rd Dal neighbor from freshman year. Ann Woods Byrne got married last May to Rick Byrne, and they have a baby boy on the way! By the time you guys get this magazine she ought to be a proud new Mama! Congratulations!! Life seems pretty great for Scott Harris these days. He’s recovered from having the date of our reunion completely wrong and showing up by himself. He’s a hard-working attorney in Raleigh, and in his spare time is a dutiful dad cheering on his kids at soccer, swimming,
J.W. Perry has gotten really good at replying to text messages lately, but that’s about all that’s changed for him. We grabbed dinner together recently and relived a few old times. There’s never a dull moment laughing at old stories with the kid. For other updates, be sure to stalk your classmate friends on Instagram or Facebook, which are pretty much the same thing now. You can find inspirational quotes from Finny Akers, pictures of Finny’s abs and/or other muscles, pictures of Finny wearing cool clothes, and maybe pictures of Finny doing some form of exercise. They may as well just change the name of it to Finstagram at this point. I just made that up on the spot. Pretty funny? I’m in the thick of the three-kid fire drill these days. Work has been busy but great, giving me an opportunity to travel to NYC periodically, which is a lot of fun. I don’t get out of the house much, but I do see Jim and his brother Bill Goodwin ’95, and I also run into Chip Edwards ’95, Will Stronach ’98, and David Stallings ’93 a decent amount, too. I even traded text messages with Stephen Salyer ’99 one time! Please keep in touch. I love catching up with you all, and I hope you’re all happy, healthy, and enjoying the moment!
