Congratulations to Thomas C. Galligan Jr. ’73, President of Colby-Sawyer College, will step down after 10 years in office on June Tom Galligan ’73 30, 2016. According to Tom Csatari, chair of the Board of Trustees, “Galligan’s legacy is a college that is better prepared for its future than it has been in many decades, with an expanded full-time faculty, a student body of talented and diverse young people, improved facilities, enhanced support from alumni and friends for the college’s mission, and strategic planning that will lead the way forward.” In a recent interview Tom said, “It’s been the most wonderful job I’ve ever had. It’s been the hardest job I’ve ever had. … But it has indeed been my great good fortune to be the president of Colby-Sawyer College.” Tom’s next chapter has already been written— LSU has named him as the next dean of the LSU Paul Hebert Law Center, effective July 1st.

Well we are one year away from another big class reunion, #40 (but who’s counting)! It’s right around the time as the AARP Convention, so book early and use your senior citizen discounts. We want everyone to have the opportunity to attend Homecoming 2017, so please reach out to us (our email addresses are referenced above) or MKA if you know the whereabouts of any lost classmates. An address, e-mail address or telephone number would suffice. Please don’t assume Andy, Rob or good ‘ol MKA have the most updated information; any intel would be appreciated. Marco Casta has relocated from sunny So-Cal to sunny Florida. He is enjoying retirement, but still is involved in the music business. Check out his recordings of Africa and Kyrie on soundcloud. Marty Cohn has moved from Denver back east as well. Marty is the Market Relationship Director at KPMG in the City. Doug Mahler recently celebrated his 30th year at Fair Lawn Dental Associates. He has two sons attending Penn State, so we assume he’ll be working until another big anniversary? Keith Ridings and wife Marguerite attended the graduation of Peter and Nancy Valentine’s daughter, Emily from Colgate University the weekend of May 13–14. She will begin working in NYC in September. Peter’s son, Patrick is an engineer with a firm specializing in water systems and fluids in Baltimore. Peter Adubato and wife Sara visited Ireland earlier in the spring, returning to their home in Chestnut Hill, PA where both have been practicing law for more than 25 years. Their son Peter works and lives in DC and other son, Drew is finishing his studies at the University of Wisconsin.
