Not to worry. I am sitting at the din ing table of our rental in Park City looking out the huge bay window at the clear blue sky framing the ski resorts at Park City and Deer Valley. When I finish this letter, I will be able to use my senior season pass at Deer Valley to do a few turns with Jane on some truly fantastic spring skiing conditions. Just so you know that I am not making this up, you can check with Rod and Nancy Van Sciver, who stayed with us for a week, while travelling between Jackson Hole where their daughter, Lisa, lives and the Boulder, CO, area where their son, Jed, lives. In April, Scott and Terry Sutherland, Rod and Nancy Vansciver, and yours truly with Jane will be headed to the Galapagos for a couple of weeks to be sure that Darwin got it right. Some tenting and kayaking are required. On a more celebrated level, Sam Kossow reports that he will be the "Distinguished Visiting Professor" at the University of Toronto next year. This prestigious post will be followed by a "monthlong gig" at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes in Paris. I think Sam wants to learn how to be "hauty" and no betrer place than Paris. For insider information on the status of Trinity, there is no better person to turn to than Sam. Speaking of celebrations, Peter Koehn, professor of political science at the UniversityofMontana, received the George M. Dennison Presidential Faculty Award for distinguished Accomplishment. Peter currently directs UM's International Development Studies program, along with the University's Peace Corps Preparatory Program, the first of its kind at a public university. He has received five separate Fulbright teaching and research awards on three continents, along with research grants from the Social Science Research Council and the Rockefeller Foundation. Koehn organized an international symposium on refugees and development assistance in 1994 and a national workshop on humanism in medical education in 2004 that brought national and international attention to UM. Kudos to Professor Koehn. I received a nice letter from Sandy Evarts. He is still practicing psychology in Reno. He and his wife, Barbara, are trying to figure out how to transition from the recently employed to the recently unemployed. His favorite beach is in Panama where he rests up his right knee ACL after torturing it skiing in Park City every March. Missed Park City this year, but so did the snow. Now, hearing from the usual suspects, Ford Barrett, tells me that he is usually a regular at the ski resorts in Salt Lake City, but not this year. He is compensating with a cruise on the Rhone in May If you are wondering what Tom Hart was up to, just ask Ford. "I was in New York last January viewing a high -toned exhibition of Renaissance portraits at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, when I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was ... Tom Hart. As Tom's wife, Chris, and I engaged in a scholarly discussion about the merits of Leonardo da Vinci's paintings, Tom nodded sagely. Tom and Chris were in NYC to see a play." Another regular informant, Rich Risse!, writes me that he went on a serious golf outing to Hawaii in February where, among other worthy opponents, he caught up with John Alves. John is chairman of Hawaii Public Radio and head of his homeowners association. That does not sound like retirement to me, John. Joe Hourihan checked in also. He and Antoinette had dinner with Frank Vincent and his wife, Joan, at the Mohegan Sun. Do you really

tl'inity/longwalksoc go there just for dinner, Joe? Frank has retired, and splits his time between Massachusetts in the winter and the lakes in NH during the summer. As for Joe, he and Antoinette are "heading to Eastern Europe, primarily Russia in May-- however, ifl had known what a hassle the visa process was going to be, I might have gone to New Britain instead--it and Warsaw are both Polish cities right? Check with Jane, she will remember!" (My wife's grandparents are from New Britain) . In closing, Brian Grimes, your class president, wants me to remind you that our 50th Reunion is coming up in 2016, so start planning for it. Be well. Keep in touch. No, start keeping in touch.

Phil and Joan Gulley were slinking around Vero Beach, Florida, playing golf with friends, and casually casing the area as a possible home site.
