Robin Tunnicliff Reid writes: A great group of us class of 1980ers gathered in Gotham Town for Reunion weekend: Eileen Pereira Arndt, Onita Connington, Nina Wolff Feld, Raphiel Hampton, Tom Law, Sam Laufer, Brian Delacey, Craig Walker, and me, Robin Tunnicliff Reid. We ate, laughed, and meditated quietly in a row together during Quaker meeting. It was as though 35 years slipped away, and we were kids again. As Tom put it, "There is an amazing bond between us, and we genuinely care for each other." Onita and Eileen got to expand on that during a StoryCorps interview in the library. I eavesdropped a little and heard lots of laughing. Can't wait to hear that episode! Here's a little bit about what we're up to these days. Onita lives in Norwich, VT, where she takes care of family, does a variety of volunteer work in the community, seems to cook for many people and has fun with friends and family. Tom wrote, "I started my business in 1988 selling office supplies and added graphic design and commercial printing. All along I have been using competitive basketball as a way to work with youth in the Chinese-American communities in NYC; my Web site is www.sabresfalcons.org. The inspiration to teach the game came from my JV coach at Friends." Raphiel visited from Baltimore and runs a property management/development company in DC. He's also the father of two very

adorable little boys. Nina's compelling book, Someday You Will Understand: My Father's Private WWII, is nominated for the American Library in Paris Award, and she just gave a pitch to the Jewish Book Council to promote the book throughout the country to Jewish organizations. Brian teaches art at the Cathedral School at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine here in New York. Eileen lives near Stratford, CT, where she runs Eileen's Exclusive Florals (www. exclsuiveflorals.com). In addition to creating elegant floral designs, she's busy with three children. Craig is moving and shaking in Atlanta, where he is vice president of I.F.S Securities. He manages to spend some time back in Illinois. And I still live in Baltimore and work as a writer/editor for the U.S. Agency for International Development in Washington, D.C., in the huge building anyone who watches "House of Cards" sees in the opening credits. Anyone in the area is welcome to visit!

Plato proclaimed "music as a moral law…giving soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and charm and gaiety to life and to everything." Friends has embraced music over the years and Friends has
