CLASS OF 1984 | 2018 | ISSUE 3

Greetings to you all at the start of our 25th Reunion year. Hope to see some of you on Foss Hill from Friday, May 24, to Sunday, May 26, 2019.

My thanks to Roger Pincus for being co-class secretary these last few years. Roger has stepped down to concentrate on his now-empty nest, as daughter Jillian ’22 has started at Wesleyan, joining sister Heather ’19. Daughter Melanie is a sophomore at Brown and is referred to in Roger’s mail as “the family traitor.”

Laura Meyer is a professor of art history at California State University, Fresno, and husband David Lorey ’83 is a freelance consultant, working mostly with nonprofit organizations. Laura and David are celebrating 36 years together. She says, “Some of you may have wondered what the hell we were thinking having a baby (our daughter Lee Alex) during my senior year and generally behaving in an irrational, young-love-fueled way.” She is grateful to Wesleyan and to the fates. Lee Alex retired from the San Francisco Ballet after 15 years and is working toward a new career as a personal trainer and healer; son Robin is a senior at UCLA this year studying archeology. Laura thinks warmly of her many Wes friends who shared time with her, and even put up with her “stealing their sandwiches.”

James Glickman joined several classmates in their 19th annual baseball weekend, combining their love of baseball with their interest in historical sites (and food and beer). Along with Mark Randles, Michael Bailit, Bill Barry, and Hans Schweiger, they went to Atlanta to see the Braves and the MLK Center. Jay and Gail Jenkins Farris hosted them for a barbecue dinner, and Teresa Chin joined the festivities. Jim also joined Ellen Glazerman, who had just moved to Needham, Mass., for the 4th of July fireworks.

I was sent a picture of a group of classmates enjoying dinner at a Korean restaurant in New York. Randy Frisch, Monica Elias, Dan Motulsky, Sarah Jamison, Dana Sachs, Jeddy Lieber, Eileen Kelly, and Anthony Richter raised a toast to their being “not older, but better.”

David Rosenbaum is getting married in May (so may not make Reunion). He has been in the Boston area for 35 years, working as a senior solution architect at Acquia.

David also contributes a bit of sad news. Don Gillis has passed away. Don served in the Marines and taught at Brockton High School in Massachusetts. His full obituary is here: keohane.com/services/donald-s-gillis.

That’s pretty much all the news that’s fit to print, and a little that isn’t.
