You wont
believe who showed up to the 68, 69, 70 reunion in early
June. Jimmy Seder! He arrived at the Saturday evening event unannounced,
looking as dapper as ever. His visit coincided with some summer fun with
relatives in the Basin Harbor area, and it was great fun to see him. Its
as if 30 years havent passed. Doug Wells reported that his eldest
son, Peter, ended up at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Hes
loving it and has already expressed an interest in making Boulder a five-year
plan so as to be able to devote one winter to skiing. I told him that
I thought it was a great idea but questioned how he was going to afford
it; no response to that one. Doug also said that he was going to Nantucket
over July 4th, where he hoped to meet up with Dick Peisch. I havent
heard the latest on Dick from Doug as yet, but Dick told me that he has
been traveling a lot this summer. He was off to Miami for client meetings
and Barbados to visit his office there. He also took his kids to camp
in Geneva and then to Russia for a week. Its coincidental that Annie
Viets was also off to Russia for two weeks this summer teaching a business
course. She also showed up at the 68, 69, 70 reunion
for the Friday evening dinner and reception. Over the weekend, Annie was
able to sign up a number of friends and former classmates to become visiting
lecturers in her two-week intensive business course, Business Savvy. From
Frank Arkinson I learned that his youngest just graduated from Loyola
in Baltimore; his oldest is expecting in August, and his middle child,
who graduated from College of the Holy Cross, now lives in London and
is marrying a French girl in Paris in November. Peter Rousseau contacted
me with news that his son, Charles, will be attending Williams College
this fall. He was the winner of the William E. Anderson Washington Scholarship,
a full four-year scholarship to the Mary Washington University. He made
the bittersweet decision to attend Williams College instead. Peters
younger son, William, will be a junior in high school. I saw Jimmy Taylor
and wife Barbara Potter 76 filming the launch of the 1800s
canal boat replica, the Lois McClure, on the Burlington Waterfront over
4th of July weekend. Jimmy must be doing a documentary on the history
of the large canal boats that were part of our 19th-century Lake Champlain
history and commerce. And finally, go see King Arthur, David Franzonis
latest action-packed epic. I have read that Davids next production,
Hannibal, will begin shooting soon. Hans Froelicher wrote that after being
Assistant Attorney General for the State of Maryland, he is now chief
of litigation in the General Counsels Office for the District of
Columbia Housing Authority. He wrote that it is an exciting and challenging
career change. Daughter Katie is headed to London to earn a masters
degree in international relations after graduating from Connecticut College,
and son James is headed to Lincoln Tech to become a BMW master mechanic.
So, with son fixing the car and daughter solving international conflicts,
Hans and wife will have more time for sailing in Chesapeake Bay. Hans
would enjoy hearing from Sigma Phi brothers and others at hfroelicher@prodigy.net.
I ran into Gary Barnes on the street, and he said that he and Maureen
love living in South Hero, Vt. He also recommended changing jobs every
20 years, which he did several years ago. Son Tyler is getting married.

James Lampman received a 2004 Outstanding Alumni Award from UVMs
College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Jims UVM degree prepared
him well to enter the restaurant and food industry, where he has enjoyed
one success after another. Jim owned the Pierre Restaurant in Colchester,
Vt., and the acclaimed Ice House Restaurant on the Burlington waterfront
before starting Lake Champlain Chocolates in 1983. Jim has overseen the
companys consistent growth, while maintaining the highest standards
of chocolate making. Lake Champlain Chocolates are sold nationally in
more than 2,000 specialty-food retailers. Jacquie Mitchell wrote, Life
is good. She is working in New York City at Spherion and living
in Bronxville. Son Christopher 00 is working in Boston. Daughter
Meghan, a 2001 graduate of Middlebury College, was married in May 2003,
and she lives in New York City. Recently, Jacquie caught up with her first
roommate, Mona Stein 71. Jacquie stated that she has wonderful
memories of Lake Champlain outings in the summer.

living on a lake, where his Ski Nautique ski boat will be only a few short
steps from the back door of his house. Recently, he was able to spend
some time with Sig Heller 76 and his new chocolate Newfoundland
puppy, Paco. Jill Rakoff Matusow and her husband, Peter, celebrated daughter
Hayleys Bat Mitzvah last winter. Richard Housman 74 and his
wife, Nancy, joined in the festivities. Jill and her family live in Natick,
Mass. As for my family, we moved to South Burlington last fall after having
lived in Shelburne for 20 years. My husband, Ted 64, has dubbed
the new house, The Money Pit, after the movie. Our oldest
son, Tom, was the first second-generation hockey player on the UVM team.
He graduated from UVM in May. The graduation ceremony was held on The
Green, and it was spectacular. Our son, Kevin, will be a junior at Williams
College. Ned Castle, son of Ted and Anne Butterfield (74) Castle,
is his classmate at Williams. Our youngest son, Peter, is off to St. Pauls
School in Concord, N.H., this fall, so we will be empty-nesters.
Also heading off to St. Pauls is Matt MacKinnon, son of Will 74
and Colleen Thornton (81) MacKinnon, and Gillian Koch, daughter
of Mary Beth Ballou (78) Koch and the late Randall Koch 78.

survive. Edward McCreery lives in Shelton, Conn., with his wife, Katherine,
