January/February 2009.  

Congrats to Sam Ostrow who was recognized for his long service to the College and our class. Sam is
the first 67 to receive the Dartmouth Alumni Award. Well done!! Sam sent news of the Annual 67 Not 
So Open Golf Tournament held at the Rhode Island Country Club, courtesy of Larry and Sharleen Bowen
and Rich and Beth Paolino, members of the Club. The usual suspects (any team with Joe Alviani on it)
won. Post golf dinner participants included the Bowens and Paolinos, Joe Alviani, Jack Curley, Bill 
Bogardus, Jon Feltner, John and Susan Manaras, Ted Neill, Steve and Maureen Cheheyl, Dave Larsen,
Bill and Carol Adams. Sam was an honored overnight guest of the Bowens; he remarked Sharleen makes
the best blueberry pancakes and bacon on earth!  

The Washington DC alumni gathering is being hosted by John Isaacs and Bob Burka at the law firm of
Foley and Lardner LLP with about 20 projected to attend. Details to follow from John Isaacs.

Tom Maremaa alerted me that his sixth novel, "Metal Heads," is forthcoming from Kunati Books, dealing
with the experiences of Iraqi War veterans coming home. Tom has had a batch of short fiction and
novellas published at Amazon.com. He is still working at Apple Inc. in Cupertino, California, writing
software code and technical documentation in the Mac OS X software engineering group. The novel writing
efforts come at night and over the weekends when his passion and energy are still going strong.

The Wall Street Journal (Sept. 29) noted that James M. Peck, a U.S. bankruptcy judge in the Southern
District of New York, finds himself overseeing the Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. bankruptcy. Howard
Sharfstein (a former law firm partner of Judge Peck) was quoted as observing that Peck would certainly
handle the many twists to come in the case.
