A chilly reunion weekend in May wouldn’t keep the Class of ’88 away! On Friday evening, Stu Keener ’85 graciously opened up his Baggataway Tavern deck in Conshohocken for our class, which included Kathy Guerette, Dave Bergen, Heather Greenburg, Gordon Buchanan, Paul Chambers, Jeanette Fahey, Amy Davis, JJ Durant, Matt Evans, Adam Farber, Jason Freeman, Molly Gerber, Alexandra Golaszewska, Mike Goldstein, Jen Butler, Anne Brown, Chris Johnson, Michael Jordan, Bill Marvin, Andrew McLuckie, Mike Malone, John Morris, Dennis Nicholson, Lauren Sullivan, Anna Papageorge, Mike Paskin, Bill Reedy, Gerard Rosato, Mike Rothenberg, and Kim Richter. Lots of laughs were had by all, straight into the wee hours of the morning. On Saturday evening, Alexandra and Kim addressed the chapel service attendees, and spoke about the early days of coeducation at EA. Kim reflected on the many challenges for not only the new female students, but also administration, teachers, and the boys, and her appreciation for how diligently everyone worked to make it a smooth transition. Alexandra shared her gratitude to the teachers for their willingness to allow the girls to really branch out, particularly regarding new athletic teams. She noted that her casual discussion with a teacher led to the formation of the EA girls squash team. At the on-campus dinner, we were joined by Sean Casey, Brett Moore, and Andrew Snyder. The old stories and laughs picked up where they left off the previous night, and it was great to reconnect with the Shafers, Hon., the Haleys, Hon., Rev. Squire, Hon., and Tom Lees, Hon. Everyone is looking forward to doing it again in five!

Also, in August, I will be presenting a presidential showcase at the American Bar Association annual meeting in San Francisco. As part of the program, we will be showing a series of five short videos I co-produced for the ABA called ‘IP Is All Around Us.’ The videos illustrate the intellectual property in different settings: Red Bull Arena, the pharmaceutical laboratories of Imclone, AT&T’s archives, City Winery, and in the home of Grammy award–winning songwriter Julie Gold.”
