JOHN MCCONNELL passed away peacefully in his sleep. He was the brother of WILL MCCONNELL ’02, MATT MCCONNELL ’06, KASEY OLIVE ’09, and former student COLE OLIVE ’11.

JOHN BOWER writes: “I’m still living outside of Boston working as a teacher and administrator at a private school up here. My wife and I had our first baby, James Isaac Bower, on Nov. 7, 2012, and I have to say being a dad is the best feeling in the world. We were down in N.C. in March to celebrate my parents’ 40th anniversary and their retirement. Hope to make it back down soon to see some of y’all! BYRON MOORE married Love Maduako on Dec. 22, 2012. PAUL CUMMINS writes: “Well things are going very well over here, although I do miss the USA and Raleigh especially! I am in my final year of my Ph.D where I am specializing in Leadership in Business and Sports Coaching. I have set up a business with my father here in Ireland where we design solutions for multinationals. I had to stop playing pro basketball last year as life just got too busy, but I still play on the Irish International team and run my camps for kids here in Ireland. So things are going well, although I must admit I may make a return to the U.S. once my Ph.D is finished!” Summer 2013
