STEVE MONTIGNANI writes, “While I was at the Townlake YMCA in Austin, Tex., I had a close encounter of the Hanover kind. I met the daughter of my friend Steve Ellis ’72 who majored in theatre, later taught at Hanover and is now retired. Ellis was very good friends with my cousin, Betty Howe ’72. Last year while in Key West, Fla., on vacation, I
ran into Kris Matthews, daughter of Professor Matthews, chair of the theology department in the 1970s and 1980s. She helped me with a reservation I had made there. Even while living in Texas, I seem to run into many folks I have known through past Hanover connections. This year while in Colorado Springs, Colo., I had dinner twice with a pledge brother, Tom Kozak.
