Wood "Jeffrey Wood, a retired partner with Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, was a member of the firm’s Corporate Group with experience in a broad range of corporate finance and project finance transactions, from representing institutional investors in private placements to lenders, owner or developers in complex domestic and international project financings, and borrowers and lenders in complex workouts. Mr. Wood worked with numerous private equity funds investing in Asia, and private equity fund sponsors in the formation of Asian-focused funds.
Mr. Wood was Head of the firm’s corporate finance practice in the early 1990’s. In 1993, as principal reporter for the CIGNA-John Hancock-Metropolitan Life Private Placement Enhancement Project, Mr. Wood developed documentation to simplify the access of domestic and foreign issuers to the US private placement market. This effort, continued by others after he moved to Hong Kong, resulted in the publication of a range of standardized forms for unsecured insurance company private placements that are still in use today.
Mr. Wood moved to Asia in early 1994 to open the firm’s Hong Kong office. While in Hong Kong, Mr. Wood worked on project financings, private equity investments, corporate and project finance workouts throughout Asia. He assisted China’s Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation and the State Tax Administration in revising the country’s rules regarding the formation and taxation of onshore private venture capital funds, and worked with fund sponsors seeking to establish onshore funds under the revised rules.

Zwerling [now, Alas.]
In 64, Mat, preliminary to Freedom Summer in Mississippi, drove from NYC to training at Miami U of Ohio -- drove with Andy Goodman, whose parents lived in the same building as his parents. Mat went on to work in Clarksdale, whereas Andy, fatefully, went to Meridian. An absoutely terrific account of all this
is given here. After YLS, "Zwerling worked as a public defender, and later as executive director of the
First District Appellate Project, founded by [his friend, fellow YLS, Robert] Calhoun, to offer legal services for appellate cases involving indigent clients. Zwerling would serve as the
project’s executive director for 26 years before retiring in 2008." Actually, another site on the net shows him in that position in 2012. Alas, there was a video he's in, expressing his lifelong
fanship for the Golden State Warriors, here, but
it's been removed.

Schantz Mark clerked for one of the greatest figures in the American judiciary, certainly at the time: Frank M. Johnson, Jr, brave champion of justice and racial equality, who, Bill Moyers rightly said, "altered the face of the South forever."
After that, Mark's cv lists: 1969-78 University of Iowa College of Law (Associate Dean, 1976-78); 1979-82 Solicitor General of Iowa; 1983-91 Partner, Dickinson Throckmorton, Parker Mannheimer & Raife;
1992-2005 General Counsel, University of Iowa; 2005-2011 Professor of Law, University of Iowa; 2010-2012 Solicitor General of Iowa (part-time); 2012-Present Emeritus Professor of Law; 2009-Present Arbitrator: AAA, FINRA. Mark also remembers playing poker with
Mike Reiss and Jeff Steinborn, among others, while at YLS. He and his wife Sandie (he was married while at YLS, lived in Milford, took the bus) winter near Murrieta, CA, in California's interior, which affords he and Hardy, who lives on the coast, opportunities to get together via the fascinating, curvacious Ortega highway.
May Chris is now Emeritus prof at California's Loyola Law School. "May joined the faculty in 1973 and served as associate dean from 1975-79. He was also the
recipient of the 1989 Alpha Sigma Nu National Book Award." Has co-authored a casebook on Civil Procedure. But -- get this -- he's recently (12-24-2020) given us his backstory, and --
believe us -- it'll brighten your Xmas now and forever more. 
And American history. And podcast (and pix) here.

Drabkin Dave Drabkin writes: "I have lived in ChiangMai, Thailand for more than 10 years, though frequently away on a hotel business in Laos, named "The River Resort", literally on the banks of the Mekong River, for which I act as Managing Director.
You may like to see our Resort online. It's still a haven of biodiversity, but highly threatened by many things, including major water pollution even from China.
With all good wishes to you and Yale Law,"

Grey "After Stanford and two years abroad, I went to law school, which turned out right for me. I really liked law: studying it, practicing it some, fully absorbed in teaching it and writing about it for thirty-six years as a professor at Stanford Law School, a career that brought me daily satisfaction and the company of many wonderful friends and colleagues. In return for that much, I can withstand the lawyer jokes!
But during the decade since my retirement from law teaching, I've surprised myself: while keeping one eye on matters legal, I've ended up spending more time and effort on a hobby, bird photography, that became something like a second career. Climbing up the steep part of a new learning curve has been more fun than I could have imagined! I've had photos published in books and magazines, gotten lots of feedback at my photography website, taught workshops for aspiring bird photographers, and served on the board of my local Audubon chapter.
My family, both at home and blessedly nearby in the Bay Area, continue to be a joy, more so than ever as years go by."
The above is from Tom's contribution to Stanford Class of 63 55th Reunion book. He married Barbara A. Babock, also YLS, another distinguished Stanford law prof. Also: he authored a major study of a renowned poet who was also a lawyer: The Wallace Stevens Case: Law and the Practice of Poetry.
Lawrence Chuck is Professor Emeritus a U Hawaii law school. His page there says that he came "in 2008 from Georgetown. He began his teaching career at the U San Francisco in 1974, was a tenured professor at Stanford and Georgetown, and has visited several other schools, including Harvard, Berkeley, UCLA, and USC. . . . best known for his prolific work in antidiscrimination law, equal protection, and critical race
theory. His most recent book, We Won't Go Back: Making the Case for Affirmative Action (Houghton Mifflin, 1997), was co-authored by Professor Mari Matsuda. Professor Lawrence received U San Francisco
School of Law's Most Distinguished Professor Award; the John Bingham Hurlburt Award for Excellence in Teaching, presented by the 1990 graduating class of Stanford Law School; and
the Society of American Law Teachers nationa l teaching award. He has been awarded honorary doctorates by [his alma mater] Haverford College, Georgetown University, most recently, In December of
2019, he also received an honorary Doctorate from Nelson Mandela University in South Africa. He served as a member of the DC Board of Education and on many other
public interest boards." His other books are: Words That Wound: Critical Race Theory, Assaultive Speech and The First Amendment Westview Press (1993) (with Matsuda, Delgado and Crenshaw) and
The Bakke Case: The Politics of Inequality, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich (1979) (with Dreyfuss). That picture? Oh, that's Chuck conducting this orchestra.

Deans Here is a totally fascinating article about John: Deans. In it, we learn
"Southeast Asia has held a special allure for Deans since he visited in 1965, when he had one of the last Vietnam tourist visas before the war kicked into high gear. . . . he worked at Heublein Inc. until 1984 . . .
formed a company, the Indochina British Virgin Islands Ice Cream Corp., which attracted about a dozen investors from as far away as Nepal. Indochina bought the Vietnam licensing rights to Carvel for $200,000.
Didi Deans, John Deans' wife, and their daughter, Johanna, will visit soon for a couple of weeks. Didi Deans was born in the Philippines, but has never been to Vietnam. John Deans made his 1965 trip to Vietnam after spending several months studying music in India. He returned last year to visit a classmate from Yale Law School, and
decided to form a business there." More recently, via LinkedIn, "Owner-Manager at Centrix Management Co. LLC Hartford, Connecticut Area", which is where pic comes from.
Chapin The 1991 NYT announcement of Allan's marriage to Janet Johnson, VP at Disney, confirms that he comes by his middle name honestly: he is "great-great-grandson of Herman".
A standard find-a-lawyer site tells us: "partner, Sullivan & Cromwell, New York City, since 1976. Board directors Mack Trucks, Inc . . . Interbrew S.A., Belgium, Toronto Blue Jays, Toronto Argonauts, SkyDome Corporation, SCOR United States."
Surprisingly difficult to find info about Allan, but we did find, in addition to learning elsewhere that he had four children by his first wife: "Partner based in Compass Advisers’ New York office, and Head of the firm’s global presence in France and the Low Countries."
Site also tells us that while at S & C, he headed the Paris office, then European operatons. Also -- and Lindsey, take note -- he served in the United States Marine Corps Reserve from 1961 to 1967.
[Update: no longer at Compass Partners]. Picture comes from his prep school's site.
Rutzick Of counsel at Schroeter Goldmark & Bender: "Bill has over 30 years of experience as a mesothelioma lawyer representing clients who have been
exposed to asbestos fibers in the workplace. His expertise in this area of law is recognized by local and national legal and medical experts. He has negotiated settlements and brought
cases to trial with excellent results for his clients and changed the laws in the process.
Bill concentrates on asbestos, product liability, and employee rights lawsuits. He is considered a “lawyer’s lawyer” based on his well-researched and well-reasoned
legal briefs. He has successfully appealed over 40 cases to the state Supreme Court and other courts, resulting in several landmark rulings. Through his appellate work, Bill has been
instrumental in guiding the development of Washington asbestos/product liability law. Bill’s extensive and successful experience litigating wage and hour class actions stand him apart
from any other plaintiff’s attorney."

Broiles From the standard lawyer sites we find he practices in Fort Worth, TX, but not much
else. Further search reveals that in 1969 he published The Moral Philosophy of David Hume." A new copy can be had, in paperback, from
Thriftbooks for $107.53. We're not positive this is a picture of Dave, but we know it is Hume.
2024: We have just found something long and great about Dave, dated 2006, about his career, his expertise, his state of Texas.

Frasure William took a PhD at Johns Hopkins after YLS and then joined the faculty teaching government at Connecticut College, where he is now
Lucretia L. Allyn Professor of Government and International Relations. Like Lindsey Kiang, he has a long interest in Vietnam. In 1999 he led students on "the first, four-month-long SATA [Study Away, Teach Away]
Vietnam program at Vietnam National University (VNU) in Hanoi." The following year he brought VNC students to Connecticut. His profile
on the college website details other efforts he participated in to deepen the Connecticut VNU relationship. He publishes in The Atlantic, and his profile there says "He has worked and lived intermittently in Hanoi since 1997, teaching, lecturing, directing academic exchanges, and consulting for various
Vietnamese government agencies and ministries."

Kanzer Alan seems to have retired from his former firm, Alston & Bird, in that he no longer appears on the website. But some find-a-lawyer websites that appear not to have been updated have:
"former co-chair of the firm's International Litigation Group. He is also a member of the firm's Antitrust and Government Investigations Groups, and concentrates his practice on international litigation and arbitration, antitrust and other complex commercial litigation. Mr. Kanzer is a member of the American Bar
Association's Antitrust, and International Litigation sections, as well as the Bar Association of the City of New York." Having gone to YLS, Alan is of course interested in brains. Indeed, he has pursued this interest in an interesting direction
by becoming a board member of The Brain Trust of the Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute, a voluntary board of overseers to guide the work of Columbia University researchers as they uncover the mysteries of the brain."
There we find "Mr. Kanzer is on the advisory board of Columbia Global Centers (Paris). He is a member of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Objects Conservation Visiting Committee. Mr. Kanzer endowed an Artist-in-Residence program at Columbia's Zuckerman Institute."

Brown Dave is with us in the 68YLR, but apparently there was some hold up and you will find him in, for example LinkedIn, in Class69. But he's one of us, we
are very glad to say, "Researcher-Consultant on Civil Society and Development Harpswell, Maine." David will have to tell us about 69-71, as first entry is 1971 in academia, teaching

concentrates on real estate, land use and zoning, municipal, and environmental law. Frone has represented developers, builders, and municipal agencies, and he has been a frequent
instructor on zoning, subdivision and land use topics for various organizations, including The Pennsylvania Bar Institute's Environmental Law and Municipal Law Forums, Lorman
Educational Services, The Brandywine Conservancy and The Pennsylvania Land Trust Association." He lives in Chesterbrook. Our Frone is a Jr. If you search on Google, his website comes
up top, but #2 is a website for Fronefield Crawford III, a professor of astronomy at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, PA. We wonder who that could be (hint: he graduated from Williams).

Anderson Roger has a name which presents an impossible challenge to web searching, but fortunately our newly accessible Class Notes bring us up
to date to at least a decade ago. Roger is buying and selling businesses all over the world. Roger studied in Sweden before and after law school. He met his wife, Christina, there. So it is natural
that much of his work is in Scandinavia. He s a trustee of the American Scandinavian Foundation. Recently, he has developed an interest in Latvia, which he now represents is its honorary council. 2003-11.
Roger is managing partner of Hamilton Capital Partners. He also serves as Honorary Consul, Republic of Latvia, where he has business interests. 2004-11.
His son, Christopher, recently married Beverly Hoover, “a wonderful young woman he met while working with Save the Children in Baku Azerbaijan. She is American and
was working for an NGO as well.” They are living in Washington, where Christopher is working at the State Department. “Come June,” Roger writes, “they will be stationed with the Embassy in Buenos Aires. Several family and friends are already planning trips south to this exciting part of the world so any classmates sharing an interest prepare and book early.” 2005-11
Roger's youngest son who had been saving children in Azerbaijan is now married and living in Argentina, posted there by the Department of State. 2007-11 So Roger is sort of
semi-Found -- Roger, please tell us more and send a picture!

Mezzanotte Mark Schantz remembers that Jim was the founder-in-chief of the poker sessions. Perhaps this is related to his skills in real estate. From Linkedin (rearranged a bit);
"engaged in the real estate business for over 20 years as an owner, contractor, developer and consultant. He practiced law for over 20 years, specializing in tax and corporate matters." Most recently
"President and CEO of Managed Integrated Due Diligence Services, LLC. From 2006 through 2016, Director of Due Diligence for American Realty Capital and responsible for coordinating the firm’s due diligence and closing functions. He was also responsible for coordinating the project management and portfolio management processes, reporting directly to Nicholas Schorsch, William Kahane, Edward M. Weil and Jesse Charles Galloway.

Capital, Was engaged as a consultant by American Financial Realty Trust. . . . managed process mapping for all departments as they related to the company’s leases and tenants. . . . .
Mr. Mezzanotte previously served as a financial consultant for a period of three years . . . . " Our own Class Notes for 2008 tell us he and his wife Judy own a horse farm, Rockin Double J.
The notes say it's in VA, but in fact it's in NC. Jim, that's you on the horse, isn't it? And now Class Notes 13 years later, Summer 2021, has a long entry by Jim detailing not only personal
stuff, but also his very interesting memories of Ralph Winter. Jim, a picture would be nice.

Kessler Richard is the author of "Your House May Be Taken Away by a Ham Sandwich," the first part of which appears here.
He is also the author of The 4th of July; A celebration of American Exceptionalism, the blurb on which says: "Mr. Kessler is a graduate of CCNY, Yale Law School, who has retired from many
years in legal practice and real estate to begin a new career to do damage with a pen during his retirement. Mr. Kessler’s first published book is
“Racialized Poverty in Urban Areas: The Sin of which We dare not Speak.”" We thought we had a picture, but it seems to have disappeared. Richard, please send.

Schnapper Eric clerked for the California Supreme Court after law school. From the U Washington law school website: "Professor Schnapper, who joined the UW law school faculty in 1995, teaches Civil Rights, Civil Procedure and Employment Discrimination. He served for twenty-five years as an assistant counsel to the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc., specializing in appellate litigation and legislative activities.
In 2010-11 Professor Schnapper argued three U.S. Supreme Court cases, Staub v. Proctor Hospital, Thompson v. North American Stainless, and Borough of Duryea, Pennsylvania v. Guarnieri.

d'Errico One remarkable feature of our 50th reunion book is the candor of so many accounts. Peter has his own law page which is full of candor, and a ton more. It is amazing.
To quote just some of one item, "Peter d'Errico Meets the Law": "I entered the world of law backwards, in the mid nineteen-sixties, defending myself against other choices: draft, exile, prison. By any standard measure of comfort, Yale Law School seemed the best of bad choices. By the time I got out (after experimenting with exile after all), the "war on poverty" had managed to fund a legal services program in Navajoland. I became a lawyer in the Shiprock office of Dinebeiina Nahiilna Be Agaditahe, Inc"
His initial job, "to create a code of juvenile procedure for a tribal judge," attempting to integrate tribal law with recent holdings by the Supreme Court on due process, proved a "through the looking-glass" experience, followed by having a case thrown out because his stationery translated DNA's name as "lawyers who work for the economic revitalization of the people" -- unethical advertising. Followed by another bizarrerie.
"I had discovered that my whole role was to wear the white hat in this modern western drama, to look the part of a good guy, but not really to make anything change. I was the icing on the cake of justice. I was part of the package deal from the state, which already provided the laws, the courts, the police, the jails, and now was to provide the counselors for the downtrodden."
Peter then "became an anti-law lawyer and teacher of legal studies, at the University of Massachusetts /Amherst." There is, indeed, a ton more on Peter's unique website -- eg, his reflections on
his time with DNA. So glad to have found him.

Molodovsky Liza has had a career in the health care industry in the Boston area. Unable to find a real profile of Liza on the web, only bits and pieces. One web
page has a report from 1993 on problems with air quality at Brigham and Woman's Hospital addressed to (pardon the spelling) "Lisa Molodovsky, Office of general council, BWH".
Another is the 2005 990 filing for Newton-Wellesley Hospital Inc which lists Liza as a Board member. Another is a filing on behalf of a nursing firm which lists Liza as the contact person,
"Office of the General Counsel, Partners HealthCare System, Inc." Here is a link to a 2015 newsletter article about Goddard House, an elder-care facility, which has a
picture of Liza, "president of the Goddard House Board of Trustees."
Perhaps the best site, from which our picture is taken, is a Harvard alumni reunion site in which one Anne Giese Porter says: "My favorite reunion
moment is in this picture, or in one of many over the years. It shows me with three classmates—Nancy Boghossian Keeler, Liza Molodovsky, and
Suzanne Young Murray—all of whom I met the first day I entered Holmes Hall as a freshman."
Barlow Sally is the website from which the photo of Sally that appears in our News column was taken. She says there:
"This summer [2015] the Vestry appointed me, Sally Barlow, to take Ginger Lawrence's place when she resigned for health reasons. I have been a member of St.Thomas since 1976, and I am committed to helping with Outreach. I am a retired attorney whose practice involved representing indian tribes and individuals. Since retiring I have focused on assisting a free hospital in Jos, Nigeria."
Another website which features a picture of Sally is this one: Another.
Hillyer Sandy was profiled by CCL in 2012: "Sandy Hillyer Becomes New Program Director. Smokejumper for the U.S. Forest Service, Peace Corps forestry volunteer in Chile, Yale Law graduate and
former Director of Lands for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Saunders “Sandy” Hillyer has had a varied and distinguished environmental career. More recently, Sandy served as the CEO of Metropolitan
Strategies, a consulting and advocacy firm. In the early 1990s, as Director of Citizens Against Gridlock and working with EDF, Earthjustice, the Piedmont Environmental Council and the Chesapeake
Bay Foundation, Sandy helped lead a successful regional campaign to defeat the Disney’s America theme park planned for Haymarket, Virginia, just 30 miles from Washington, DC.
In his new position as a Program Director for the Coastal Conservation League, Sandy will focus on land use and transportation reform. “I am thrilled to be joining the Conservation League staff and moving to
Charleston,” says Sandy. “My two children will love visiting me here and I look forward to advancing sound land use and conservation policy in the Lowcountry.”" Back in 1980 he was Executive Director of The Big Sur Foundation.
Jack The standard lawyer sites have Rand as in general practice in Bellingham, WA, not far from the border with Canada. We did find that his father,
Whitfield Jack, YLS32, has a "wiki" page, as do his uncle and his grandfather, all from Louisiana. Rand was one of the attorneys behind this headline: "The Seattle
Archdiocese has paid $9,150,000 to settle the claims of eight women who were sexually abused as young girls by parish priest Father Michael
Cody. Documentary evidence demonstrates that the Archdiocese knew that Cody was a pedophile and that he was a danger to young people well before the abuse of these women
occurred." Rand is quoted in 2016 on this site:
"I feel privileged to have helped represent these women and to have experienced their courage and determination. They have stood up for themselves and other victims of sexual abuse. Money damages
can never compensate them for the harm caused by their parish priest and the betrayal of a powerful institution they revered."

Bayes Guy went to Duke before YLS. Admitted in KY: "Interview with Guy Anthony Bayes, Kentucky Law Enforcement Council, Eastern Kentucky University, 3 April 1972. Mr.
Bayes is a graduate of Yale Law School and was a trial counsel in the Army." Footnote to Professional Journal of the United States Army, January 1973, p. 44 -- footnote to the assertion that
"plea bargaining was used in about 40 percent of the cases." See also 1990. But he's ended up in Fort Wayne, IN.
However, in some sense, nothing can compare with this magnificent article about mental health he authored in 2017.
Mental. Quite remarkable in that he candidly deals with issues he himself had to overcome.
This article describes him as "a minister and retired attorney." Another source says he's married to Kathleen. No picture, alas; the only we can find is from 50 years ago. Guy,
please send! Alas, we finally found a picture, but now (2021) you have to go to our
Alas page to see it.
Reichbart Richard has his own, interesting website Reichbart. In it we learn: U of Northern Colorado (M.A.) and CCNY (PhD, both in psychology and both after YLS).
Before becoming a psychoanalyst: "In 1964, I participated in the Free Speech Movement in Berkeley, California; in the summer of 1965, I worked as a civil rights worker for Martin Luther King’s Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) primarily in Atlanta
and Peach County Georgia; during a subsequent summer I was Mayor John Lindsay’s liaison to Coney Island; and after law school, I was a legal services attorney for Dinebeiina Nahilna be
Agaditahe (attorneys who work for the economic revitalization of the Navajo people) in Arizona and New Mexico. I also represented Native Americans from various tribes in a famous sit-in case at the Littleton office of the
Bureau of Indian Affairs (they were all acquitted); and briefly I owned an art gallery in Denver, Colorado." Today, when not writing short stories and poetry, he practices in Ridgewood, NJ: "My primary interests are in psychoanalysis, parapsychology, and cultural
theories of causality; and how our daily life can be understood through these lenses — experienced in ways of which we are not fully conscious."

Betts Jim is a partner with Shipman & Goodwin, Hartford, CT, Difficult to find any but the standard stuff about Jim: "practices in the areas of estate planning, estate settlement and trust administration. He
assists clients with the full range of planning techniques for tax-effective intergenerational and charitable transfers. He also prepares, and advises those preparing, probate documents,
estate tax returns and fiduciary income tax returns as well as represents estates before the IRS and DRS on audit. In addition, Jim actively administers trusts and advises trustees."

Boeder Tom is a partner at Perkins Coie in Seattle. "A former deputy attorney general and chief of Antitrust, Consumer Protection and Criminal Law Enforcement in the Washington State Attorney General's Office, Tom has worked on a number of significant cases over the years,
including the merger of The Boeing Company and McDonnell Douglas Corporation and the Louisiana-Pacific OSB Siding Litigation." Next time you visit Starbucks, tell them Tom represents them; might get you some extra foam.
"Movie industry antitrust litigation has been one area of focus where Tom has represented independent theater operators in litigation against the three, dominant theater circuits in the United States - AMC, Regal and Cinemark."

Diamond We think that's a picture of Marv, but are not sure. Marv, is that you? Really tough to find data about Marv. We know that he was in general practice in
Belmont, MA for many years, representing, inter alia, Chris-Craft Industries, but we believe he has retired to Naples, FL. Are we wrong?
[P]
Sonnenborn Monty went to work for Morgan Stanley, ultimately becoming a managing director and senior counsel. Amid tensions in the legal department when M-S merged
with Dean Witter, tensions exacerbated by circumstances link, he resigned in 99. LinkedIn currently
lists him as "Independent Law Practice Professional," NYC. His alma mater, Haverford, recently awarded him The Charles Perry Award for exemplary service to the College in fundraising, and said:
"Monty has led the effort to raise a substantial contribution to the Annual Fund in connection with his 50th Reunion." Monty, tell us more!
[ Alas, Monty is now on our Alas page.]

Gardner From a blurb about the book he compiled and edited, Legends of the Northern Paiute as told by Wilson Wewa -- "He was president of
Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon, from 1981 to 1989, and has since been President of Gardner Associates, creating and developing historic conservation ranches in
Central Oregon. He has been a Visiting Scholar at the University of Oregon from 2013 to present and frequently writes about Native American and settlement history in Oregon." We have also
found, from various projects it has already spawned, that Jim is working on a new book about the Paiute, Oregon Apocalypse. Jim, tell us more!
[P]
Robinson The LinkedIn entry on Robert is unusually informative: 1972-81,Prosecutor, San Diego County District Attorneys Office. 1981-90, Partner,
Harrison & Watson, A.P.C. 1990-present, in private practice in San Diego. Business and estate planning. And that's where we got his picture.
Rob, tell us more! What about 68-72? -- drafted? Family?

Bowman This recent find tells
us a lot: "was a legal services lawyer in Roxbury and Dorchester with the Boston Legal Assistance Project (now Greater Boston Legal
Services) after graduating from Yale Law School and Princeton University. He subsequently served as a Clinical Teaching Fellow under the late Gary
Bellow at Harvard Law School and as Associate Professor of Law and Director of the Civil Clinical Program at Boston University, where he also taught
Federal Courts, Professional Responsibility, and Client Interviewing & Negotiation." "He served as an Assistant Attorney General in the
Government Bureau (Trial Division and Administrative Law Division) under three attorneys general (Bellotti, Harshbarger, and Reilly), where he was
the Appeals Coordinator, and also served as a Deputy Director of the Division of Employment Security. After leaving state government, he was a
partner in Bowman & Penski, a part-time “virtual” law firm that specialized in municipal representation. He now works as a part-time hearing
officer for the Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector Authority and, in the past, was a hearing officer for the Department of Elementary &
Secondary Education in charter school revocation proceedings." More in the link above, including "John’s Access to Justice Fellowship project will
focus on efforts to reform the criminal justice system to end mass incarceration." This interest in criminal justice includes participating in the
state's amicus brief in a case on bail amounts. Commonwealth v. Ray (2001).
Also, Testimony before
Massachusetts Sentencing Commission, 11-18-2015, citing The Economist, 6-20-2015. "The United States, with only 5% of the
world's population, now has 25% of the world's prisoners. This statistic may be widely known by now, but it should never cease to startle us." (John
enters on p. 58).
Minardi From the email address published in the 50th reunion book, we note that he was a partner at Troutman Sanders in Richmond, VA, but he seems to have
retired from the firm as he is no longer listed on the website. The obituary of his mother-in-law published in 2016 in the Richmond Times-Gazette says that she is survived by, among
others, "her daughter, Archer Guy Minardi who is married to Richard A. Minardi, Jr. of Richmond." On Dun & Bradstreet's page about Richmond's West End Machine & Welding, Rick
is listed as Secretary. He's also the officer of a construction firm. Not a lot; Rick, tell us more!
[P]
Kirby Rich of today is difficult to find. Surprisingly, then, an interview with him recorded in 1991 is readily available on the internet:
here. In it, he tells of his Kentucky origins, of his adolescence in New York, and of his summer work with Appalachian
Volunteers in his law school summers and after. He became an expert in strip mining. He avoided the draft. He regrets not having gone to Chicago summer 1968.
Page 650 of a book, Appalachia Inside Out: Culture and Custom (1995) has this: "Rich Kirby is a graduate of Trinity College, Hartford, Connecticut, and holds a law degree and a master's degree
in urban studies from Yale University. For a number of years he was self-employed as a musician and story-teller; and since 1990 he has been general manager of WMMT-FM, Appalshop, in
Whitesburg, Kentucky. He has written extensively on land use in Appalachia, and as a musician he has made several contributions to albums for June
Appal Records and served as producer of a number of recordings." This is 25 years ago. But wait! There's a second interview (which is where our picture comes from) with the same organization, 2015:

[P]
Dranitzke Alan is, we believe, retired, though still listed as a partner in
Liotta, Dranitzke, and Engel in DC. No picture, sad to say; the only one we can find is from 50 years ago.
Alan, please send! No pic, but we do find "Law Clerk, Judge Gerhard A. Gesell, U.S. District Court for DC , 1968-1969."
Legal Memberships: DC bar (Real Estate Section), Virginia State Bar. "Mr. Drantizke has served as an adjunct professor at Georgetown University
Law School." We believe he now lives in Washington, VA. Maybe this is his new hobby.
[P]
Roberts When in 2000 Colorado Housing and Finance Authority prepared to issue $31 million in tax-exampt bonds, the document it issued stated that "Certain legal
matters will be passed on for the Authority by James A Roberts, Esq , its Director of Legal Operations and legal counsel." Also: he "joined the staff in December, 1974. Mr. Roberts,
a graduate of Yale College and Yale Law School, served with the Michigan State Housing Development Authority from 1970 until December 1974." That's all we can find, that and the fact
that he lives in Denver. Jim, tell us more, send pic -- the only we have is 50 years old!
[P]
Oechler Hugh is hard to find, but we believe he now lives in Providence, RI. This is substantiated
by a finding that donors to the famous library there, the Providence Athenaeum, include Joanne & Hugh Oechler.
No picture, alas; the only we can find is from 50 years ago. Hugh, please send! However, we have recently found he is
Translation Manager at Linguistic Systems, Inc. of Boston, though the LSI website provides no information about him.And we did find a book he is
credited with being the translator for Memories of Mexico: A History of the Last Ten Months of the Empire by Samuel Basch.
[P]
Brown A. T. Standard find-a-lawyer: "specializing in the field of Construction Law, Commercial Litigation, Commercial Contracts. Arbitration." In beautiful, rural,
tiny Gill, MA, where a commune that endured for two decades was founded in 1968. Connection to Tupper?
We did find that Allen's father was stepson of General Marshall: father.
Tupper still has not checked in, but we have just found something by Tupper, dated 2013-14, about his career, his expertise, his town in
Massachusetts. Head over to our new Memoirs/Memories page and you will find it: click here.

Dye Standard find-a-lawyer: "has been licensed for 48 years and works in Media, PA. This attorney attended Yale University School of Law and handles
cases in Estate Planning, Probate, General Practice." Another: "Legal issues: Taxation, Trusts, Estates, Pension and Profit Sharing Plans, Corporate Law." Some sites say Walnut St, in Philadelphia.

Marlowe Despite having the most famous name in noir fiction (change Dennis for Philip), he's not easy to find. Standard find-a-lawyer: "Dennis H. Marlowe,
Middletown CT - Lawyer Office:134 Washington Street, Middletown, CT Specialties: Tax Law, Trusts and Estates, Business Organization. Admitted: 1968. University of Connecticut,
B.A. Law School: Yale University, LL.B.
Another: "Member of Marlowe, Snow & Atticks, Professional Corporation." Then there is: "19385CCC, LLC Incorporation Date 12 November 2015, LLC, Oregon, 19385 CAYUSE CRATER
COURT BEND, OR, 97702 Agent Name DENNIS H MARLOWE" (Our Dennis?) Denny, please check in!
[P]
Grant Standard find-a-lawyer just gives us an address in Anaheim, CA for Carroll D. Grant, who is apparently retired. The one appearance Cal makes in the Class Notes
we currently have available is "Cal Grant (cdgrant@gmail.com) is a partner in Tran Vuong Grant and Associates, based in Los Angeles and doing business in Viet Nam, operating out of Los Angeles. 2005-11"
We've also found a digitized Loyola-Marymount law school publication from 1-1-1980 about a summer program for disadvantaged students, for which a group of advisers has been created,
including "Professor Carroll D. Grant, who has served as a CLEO Summer Institute Director in 1976 at the University of Arizona School of Law."
Cal, please check in! Mike Gross in his 50th account credits the call you made to him around 1970 and the grant
you secured for the Ramah Navajo as the spark that ignited his career.
[P]
Kellogg Another hidden classmate, except for some early comments about him from
classmate Mike Gross: “Over the years Bob moved from teaching accounting and law at the University of Texas and then SMU in Dallas, to the City of
Austin's fraud department, and lastly to what he's doing now, teaching at a local historically Black college where he has single handedly created
the school's accounting department and staffed it.” 2003-11 And: "saw Bob Kellogg recently in Austin and “had two exquisite gourmet meals with
them at Katz's Deli.” 2008-03

Kiang Lindsey, found on a Vietnamese website (translated), writes: "American veterans still think about the soldiers on the other side...What impression made this memory so deep? I enlisted and worked in the Marine Corps
after the US army withdrew from Vietnam, I was not a veteran. However, I have a lot of friends who are veterans and I am always interested in military history, so these questions are often thought of by me." And he goes on to document at length the respect
that American soldiers (including pilots) had for those on the other side. Also friendships which developed when, long after the war ended, those who had served in the American military returned to visit the former battlegrounds.
Colonel Kiang is described (this is 2016) as "working on a book about the Hanoi people's struggle against a strategic B-52 air assault by the US in 1972."
Website is here: Vietnam; in Vietnamese, but your browser will offer to translate it. (If not, a translation is
here (expand by hiting the +).
Lindsey also appears in The Harvard Crimson.
Twice.
Lindsey has edited a book, Huynh Phuong Dong: Visions of War and Peace, about a Vietnamese "combat artist, creating sketches and drawings of scenes of battle, troops in action, and daily life in the guerilla bases, along with portraits of his comrades, both leaders and ordinary soldiers"
The author description notes Lindsey's position as General Counsel for Yale University and adds: "He also served in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, from which he retired as colonel."
Yet there's more! Page, about his wife, Anne-Marie Soulliere, when League of American Orchestras awarded her its Gold Baton (2015, page now
replaced with list of "previous awardees") told us he was also "General Counsel at Lotus Development Corporation,
senior counsel at Digital Equipment Corporation, and General Counsel, Iona Technologies" ~Still more here.
GerberStage 1: Difficult to find out anything about David! Scouring the net turned up, really, only two scraps.
Federal Elections Commission,
records of political contributions. Impressive database. A contribution by David in 2006: "Contributor Occupation: Buddhist Monk Contributor Employer: Dharma Zen Center" 1025 S Cloverdale Ave Los Angeles CA. [Not far from Sunset Strip].
Second scrap, a filing with California Secretary of State on behalf of Dharma
as "Senior Advisor." Stage 2 - Enlightenment: Discovered in Class Notes for 2009 that David's monk's name
is Mu Sang Sunim. His comment in the notes is found in our archive, as a .doc file or as a webpage file.
Searching using his monk's name turned up a short video of him, "Zen is too simple!", found here. He also makes an appearance
in this one, focussed on a Zen Master.

Bill Iverson tells of his connection to David: "YLS, with characteristic efficiency, sent me an acceptance letter addressed to him. It took two weeks to
get to me in the Mediterranean Sea, another two weeks for my letter saying how happy I was for David Gerber, but what about me? to reach New Haven, and several weeks for YLS to tell
me I was in, too. I wasn’t on the edge of my seat."
Markovits Dick, whose picture appears on our About page, is on the law faculty of U of Texas,
as is his wife Inga, who was a YLS68 LLM. She was unpictured then, but we are delighted to have a pic from now:
Moen Although the website of Gene's firm contains the required profile detailing his various awards as a practitioner in the area of personal injuries, it also contains a much more interesting profile on another page celebrating the firm's 30 birthday. Here are the first paragraphs:
Gene "lost his father when he was two. His stepfather was disabled, and for 30 years his mother worked as a waitress at JJ Newberry’s. Gene’s family was poverty- stricken as there were five mouths to feed on a dime-store waitress’ salary. From the age of nine through high school, he worked at numerous jobs: cleaning apartment houses, two newspaper routes,
selling magazine subscriptions, picking strawberries, delivering groceries, running a hot dog stand, working at knife-grinding shop, washing dishes, serving behind the counter at a soda shop, waiting tables, and what he calls 'general hustling for a buck' wherever he could to help with rent and food."
"After high school, Gene enlisted in the Air Force. He was sent to language school to study Russian, after which he was assigned to Air Force intelligence in Berlin for three years. He was there in 1961 to see the Berlin Wall go up. While the work itself may have been interesting, the Air Force was not a career he wanted."
"When his tour was up, he attended the University of Oregon for three years, earning his tuition as a janitor (the GI bill was not in effect at the time). He was political: President of Young Democrats, Student President of Faculty-Student Committee to End the War in Vietnam, and active in political campaigns and civil rights groups."
Here's last: "Peggy and Gene adopted four children from different racial backgrounds and later had their youngest, a birth child. Six grandchildren have since joined the family."
Rest here.
Schoenbrod It is stunning to find from this article that David, whose academic achievements were second to absolutely no one, is dyslexic. To say nothing of his career after YLS, at NRDC, getting the lead out of gasoline, and
"professor of environmental and constitutional law at New York Law School for over 25 years" and "author or co-author of six books and numerous articles for major newspapers and scholarly journals." "All of these successes are amazing on their own, but even more so for a man whose third-grade teacher threatened to hold him back if his reading did not improve, and whose high school English teacher
told Schoenbrod’s parents that he was literate in no languages. “My teachers kept criticizing me for what they took to be my lack of effort, and pushing me to try harder,” Schoenbrod said. “My parents did, however, help. My mother pushed me to practice reading so that I would not be held back in third grade, and my father, who was an excellent writer, coached me on essays in the early years of high school without writing them for me.”
Remarkably, David benefited as an undergrad at Yale from hiring a speed-reading coach, and he developed a method for predicting what the questions on the final exam were going to be. Not until the 90s did he associate his reading problems with dyslexia.
One source says: "Before the 1980s, dyslexia was thought to be a consequence of education, rather than a neurological disability." Much more in article, including that his first job after YLS was
with a Brooklyn anti-poverty organization started by Robert Kennedy.

2022: New U Cambridge article on the overlooked strengths of dyslexia:

Davis This site has a youTube
interview with Bill.
One of the find-a-lawyer websites has this: "William A. Davis, Jr., Esq. is a graduate of Amherst College, Yale Law School and has a masters degree in urban planning. He is a former professor at MIT and the George Washington University, where he taught constitutional law,
urban planning and public policy. In addition to being a real estate developer, he has counseled clients in nonprofit law, real estate and zoning law, and legislative development matters. For example,
he assisted a university client to master plan a large land site, plan and develop an $67M apartment complex for its students; he assisted a citywide nonprofit community agency to locate
a site for its headquarters and develop two community service centers, a $12M project." An Amherst site tells of his role in launching a scholarship fund in honor of the late "Professor Asa J. Davis, who established the Black Studies Department at Amherst in 1970."

Lainer A complete lineup of Lainers, eight of em, can be found here: Lainer. There we learn Luis's father lived to be 102 -- what a goal!
Wonder what 2045 will be like. Luis of Los Angeles -- we are glad to have found you, after much looking: "Master of Law degree from NYU Law School. With a law firm in Century City, then joined the biz in 74."
The firm "specializes in industrial warehouse type properties in the San Fernando Valley: Sun Valley, North Hollywood, Van Nuys, Northridge and Chatsworth." Several buildings used as
stages for TV and feature films -- here are some (of >50): Titanic, Amistad,
Batman Forever, The Thin Red Line.
"Congratulations to Bet Tzedek co-founder Luis Lainer on receiving the Los Angeles Urban League’s John W. Mack Lifetime Achievement Award at their “Enduring Legacies” dinner on April 25, 2012."
There's also "Lee and Luis Lainer Family Foundation is a private foundation based in Van Nuys, CA that was founded in 2007." Luis' wife is profiled here.
The 2005 marriage of their daughter was in NYT and includes: "Her father is . . . national chairman of Americans for Peace Now, which advocates peace in the Middle East."
Mattison Ed opens his review of a book about social policy 1950-80 with an anecdote: "a neighbor's eight-year-old son came along with his favorite book of facts
under his arm and asked me whether I knew that the most common name in the world was Mohammed Chang. . . . Sensing my skepticism, the child showed me where in his book it said
that Mohammed was the world's most popular first name and Chang the most popular last name." In Ed's view, the author of
Losing Ground makes similar errors. The review, published in 1985 in Yale Law & Policy Review, tells us Ed is "Assistant Corporation Counsel, City of New Haven; LL.B., Yale Law School,1968".
Further research uncovers an article from Nov. 15, 2007 in Yale Daily News headlined
"Mattison LAW ’68, known for honesty, ousted in upset" and continuing "Rebuking constituents who “sit on their butts” when it comes to political activism may not have been the best
campaign strategy for outgoing Ward 10 Alderman Edward Mattison LAW ’68." He was defeated by a candidate from the Green Party. The article ends with a quote from Ed:
“I’m not happy that I lost, but then politics is not the be-all and end-all, . . . I think we should work with whoever is the alderman to solve the problems of the ward.”" Research also reveals,
on the personal side, that Ed married Alice Eisenberg, who as Alice Mattison, has published ten novels, short stories and poetry, They met in junior high in Brooklyn. A
profile of her says she married Ed, "a recently minted lawyer she'd known since junior high, and
moved to Modesto, California. He worked as a legal services attorney; she taught at a community college." Wanting to be nearer relatives, they moved back east, to New Haven.
Ed was in 2007 down, but not out. A 2015 article in the New Haven Register, from which our pic is taken, has him a member of the City Planning Commission. Go, Ed!

Batista Jorge is easy to find because he has been practicing law from City Island in the Bronx since first admitted to the bar. Although he seems to have a second home in or resided in Port Charlotte, FL, he seems firmly linked to City Island, and to his wife Margarita (Margi). Finding out more than this, however,
is difficult, and Jorge -- you need to report in. This document does list him as Legal Counsel for Boricua College in the Bronx.
And this document (from way back) refers to him as Deputy Bronx Borough President and gives this profile:
"Deputy Borough President of the Bronx since 1972 . . . product of New York City public school system ... 33 years old . . . lawyer . . . Doctor of Jurisprudence degree from Yale Law School
.... Former president of South Bronx Community Housing Corporation and deputy director and counsel, Bronx Model Cities program . . . Member of Cardinal Cooke's Health and Hospitals Task Force . . . Vice
Chairman of the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund and member of board of ASP1RA . . . Member of commission for juvenile justice standards of American Bar Association and Institute
for Judicial Administration." And we've just found a 2022 picture!

Dassori We believe that's a picture of Davis in South Africa. Unfortunately, The Boston
Globe, Apr. 26, 2016, tells us the sad news that his wife, Andrea, died. Apparently they met in England when he was at Oxford before coming to
YLS, for she grew up in Sale, Cheshire and was educated at Hull and Bristol. "She and Davis have lived happily in Hingham since 1978." A wedding
announcement in the NYT, Aug. 29, 2004, tells us that their son, Frederic William Dassori, also went to England after graduating
from Yale, though to Cambridge. The announcement also says: "His father is a partner in Choate, Hall & Stewart, a Boston law firm, and is the
chairman of the trustees at Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Mass." He appears to have retired from Choate. Davis is also listed as a member
of The American College of Tax Counsel, "a professional association of tax attorneys. Formed in 1981, membership in the American College of Tax
Counsel is limited to a maximum of 700 tax attorneys across the United States."
Messina Mike "joined the New Mexico State Investment Council in June 2019. Michael is an attorney who has worked extensively on financial transactions since beginning his career in securities law more than
50 years ago. He has worked in private practice in New Mexico for more than 30 years, emphasizing financial and commercial transactions, commercial litigation, business organization and commercial real estate, among other
areas. Previously he was the director of the National Health Law Program at the University of California at Los Angeles and worked on securities law
as well as civil rights cases." Pictured with his wife here.

Williams (Don) We found Don, though it wasn't easy, given that Williams is a common name and there's another Donald E. Williams who is famous enough that he gets a
lots of attention on the internet and a Wiki page (though he's a Jr). But was worth it because we not only found the above picture (a YLS first since he is "unpictured" in YLR68),
but an account of his career in a publication of the American Syringomyelia & Chiari Alliance Project on the occasion of his becoming President of the Board of Directors in 2010.
"After graduating from Yale College and Law School he practiced law and was involved in various business ventures, including founding Carnegie Bank in Princeton, NJ. At his retirement he was a principal in the
Breen Capital Group, a financial investment firm. His oldest daughter was initially diagnosed with scoliosis in 1978 and some years later, with the introduction of the MRI, with Chiari and syringomyelia. She has endured over a
dozen surgeries, the most recent at Johns Hopkins in 2010. She is a psychotherapist in private practice in Washington,D.C. where she lives with her husband. His younger daughter began her career in banking and now is the mother to Don’s two grandchildren. She
lives with them and her husband in Manhattan. His step-daughter, also a psychotherapist, recently moved back to Philadelphia after three years in Chicago. Don has lived for the past ten years in New Hope, PA. He
and his wife, Diana, live in a tenant cottage built in 1731, the upkeep of which takes virtually all of their spare time. Whatever time is left, after the grandchildren, is spent sailing on the Chesapeake or making offshore trips to the
Caribbean." That account and his "A Word from our President" can be found here.
Press Dan is a partner in Van Ness Feldman in DC. Like Sally, like Peter, like Reichbart, Dan forms part of our class that has been deeply involved in the affairs
and the fates of Native Americans. "Dan assists tribes with strengthening their tribal governments by helping them develop and implement ordinances that exercise the tribe’s sovereign
authority in such areas as employment rights and labor relations. He has helped to establish a range of entities designed to promote economic development in Indian country, including
creative use of the special 8(a) rights Congress has provided to tribes and the first multi-tribally owned financial institution. He has also counseled tribes to obtain legislation awarding
them hundreds of millions of dollars in land claims settlements, new health facilities, and new authority to promote employment on their reservations. He has special knowledge of Indian
land issues, including rights of ways and leases on Indian land and the unique legal issues that arise when doing business on reservations and assisted companies to negotiate various
agreements with tribes regarding land use." Pro bono general counsel for the Roundtable on Native American Trauma-Informed Initiatives (assists Native communities to implement

de Svastich This is from a profile on the website of one of the companies of which he is
a director: "Peter Egon de Svastich, a US citizen born in 1944, graduated in 1965 with a degree in Business Administration from Princeton University

Neal Gerry J. still has a page on the website of Foley & Lardner in Chicago, but all it tells us is that he is a Retired Partner. There is a picture, though, for which we
are grateful. We can also find an address for him in North Redington, FL -- which makes sense, because Chicago people go to the west coast of
FL and the NYC people go to the east coast. Web also tells us: "Married Mary M. Koch 1966. Children: Charles Clayton, Christine Rose, Deborah Rae."
But Gerry, please check in with some life history after 68!

Stapleton It has been almost impossible to track Mike down. We have found a few cases where he is listed as counsel, but no further information. The best we have
been able to do is to use the people-finder websites to obtain two different addresses for him in New York, one in the city, the other in wonderfully named Wappingers Falls. Click
here for those. This site also lists email addresses for him, none of which work any longer: libertarian@voyager.net, liberty@collegeclub.com,
liberty@starnetinc.com, liberty22@aol.com, liberty22@yahoo.com, liberty22@comcast.net, liberty22@prodigy.net, liberty3@comcast.net, liberty22@bellsouth.net
When querying, by chance, Jon Shepard as to whether he could deduce anything about Mike from this list, Jon replied: "I don't know. I wish he were more consistent."

Further research did not turn up Mike, but it did turn up something historic about Wappingers Falls.

to go to the toilet -- sound familiar?) and allied with Maranzano. Maranzano reorganized the Italian American gangs in New York City into Five Families, one headed by Luciano.
Maranzano called a meeting of crime bosses in Wappingers Falls, where he declared himself capo di tutti capi. He lasted only till September.
Titus Bob has a page in the 50th Reunion book, but no current picture, and pleading for pictures is perhaps a good use for this Found page. There's no
post-68 picture out there, we believe, although as mentioned on our G2 page, we did find one of his wife, Margo. Although he mentions living in NH and VT as well as CT, Martindale
tells us that he now operates out of Springfield, MA. Bob! Picture, please!

Hutchings Lo and behold, we were finally able to enlarge the image used on Larry's email address. So that's what you see here. And even more Lo and
behold, we've finally gotten an email from him: "I'm not hiding! I abandoned the practice of law about 40 years ago after 13 years of profoundly
unsatisfying effort. I decided that my own interests and those of my employers would be better served if I found another line of work. Since then I have devoted my energy to . . . other
pursuits. As you might suppose, there is more to this story, but it would not be appropriate to get into all of that in an alumni publication--and any effort to condense the narrative would
be misleading. Bottom line: I am in good health; I am happily married with two adult children; I am financially secure; and I am certain that my career choices were right for me. "
