islands from here any day of the week. Thanks to our great housing market here, I guess I will be doing this for a while longer....but I do enjoy what I am doing. Since our last gathering I have two beautiful granddaughters, one from each of my two sons. If I am not in the Caribbean I am in DC or Greenwich, CT visiting them or Rehoboth Beach, DE where Hunter ’58, PJ ’61 and Ned ’65 (Kesmodel) have all retired. I plan to stay in the warm weather as long as I can! Paull Phillips and Susie visited last year on a swing through south FL so we had a chance to catch up. I hope everyone is doing well and look forward to seeing all of you at the next reunion, our 50th!!! Please keep in touch!!

From PJ Kesmodel: “I’m still coaching lacrosse after all these years. I’ll send something about the picture and caption about the 1961 Lacrosse Team that appeared in the Cape Gazette (Rehobeth Beach, DE), the local newspaper here. Bruce Burns and I were captains of that team.”

From Robert Kesmodel: “Hi everyone, Happy Holidays from sunny Miami Beach! If anyone has anything to report please send to p.heffner@severnschool.com. I am still enjoying life on South Beach and working exclusively in the Caribbean with the mobile network operators there. I withdrew from working in FL and Central America and now only focus in the Caribbean...makes life a lot easier for me since I can get to all the 28

From Shannon on Dave Pickall: “In the thought of keeping community in focus, the following tribute to David Pickall should serve as marching orders for all of us in the Severn Community. Dave touched so many of us, in so many generations.” From The Capital, 9/27/09: “David Pickall died quietly at his home at Wrighter Lake,
Thompson, Pa., of brain cancer following a two year illness, due to its recurrence. Born in Annapolis, February 9, 1950, he was the son of Ruth and A. J. Pickall. He was husband and dear friend to Marianna Janicelli and loving and wellloved father to his two daughters, Caitlin J. Pickall ’99 and Lauren Pickall ’00. He lived his childhood in Millersville, MD, graduated from Severn School and from Johns Hopkins University playing varsity football and lacrosse at both. He was a sailor, a runner, photographer, and member of St. Anne’s Parish in Annapolis. His favorite philanthropy was C.R.A.B. (Chesapeake Region Accessible Boating). A memorial celebration will be held for him this summer at Wrighter Lake. The family would like to thank Hospice for their care and encourage others to use their services. As a parting gift to David it is suggested that friends do an act of kindness in his name.” From Dick Webster: “I have enjoyed reading the emails from David’s classmates and friends. They speak volumes of David and all of you. I think it is essential that each of us reflect on why this great guy has meant so much to all of us. And then, as a tribute to David, do our best to incorporate those qualities and values into our own lives, thereby, making our respective communities a little better. God knows, our world appears to sorely lack the spirit, integrity, honesty, leadership and character that we have long associated with David Pickall. God bless, men! Keep the faith!” From Bruce Hunter: “I was saddened to hear of the death of classmate David Pickall. My thoughts and prayers are with his mother, wife and children. He was an example and an inspiration to all who knew him. He’ll be greatly missed.” From Dave’s wife, Marianna Janicelli: “I thank so many of you who have written, contacted us and kept David in your prayers. David died in great peace and se-
renity. We had a wonderful day with him and stayed up late into the night accompanying him in his journey with prayers and love. Filled with sadness that he became ill, we are happy that he is now settled into Glory. David has been well-loved by many people, we find joy in this and thank you.”

John Norton has lots of news: “I went to an exhibition lacrosse game between UNC and Brown last Saturday in San Francisco. Ron Staines and his wife Lauren came in to watch their son Mark ’08, play in the game for UNC. Alex Jones ’09, plays for Brown. I wore my Brown University T-shirt as I sat with Ron. I call it my halfmillion-dollar T-shirt. My daughter is a freshman at Brown and my son graduated from Brown in ’08. Among all the wonders that California has to offer, two remain elusive: good lacrosse and good crab cakes. I got my lacrosse, and I’ll see you at homecoming in my search
