March/April 2011.
The annual fall Washington DC dinner is well established (this was the seventh). Bob Burka hosted in his law firm's conference/dining room 
overlooking the Potomac and orchestrated the annual "What's new with you" discussion. Co-host John Isaacs (a new hip), Maria Burka (just 
back from Seoul, Korea), Tony Newkirk, Bill and Teddy Reynolds, Wayne and Beverly Johnson, Sam Ostrow, Jim Rooks, Wayne Beyer, Chuck and 
Young Hobbie, caught up on recent personal, Class, and Dartmouth developments. Tom and Christine Peebles discussed being in Sofia, Bulgaria 
for the last six years where Tom served as a U.S. Department of Justice lawyer. Additional notes commenting on the 65th birthday gathering 
came from Nick Mason of Simsbury, Connecticut. He has been "retired" for nearly 10 years from last job as CFO of Savings Bank of Manchester, 
Connecticut. Nick spends time doing volunteer and community service in Simsbury and the Farmington Valley. He and Connie moved to a retirement 
community in Simsbury in June 2008. Son Jeff ('94) married in September at their summer home on Cape Cod. Joseph Furstenthal of Oakland, 
California, published The New Connoisseurs' Guidebook to California Wine and Wineries (University of California Press). The encyclopedic 
guide got good marks from the New York Times Diner's Journal. As of September, Wayne Beyer of Washington DC had completed nearly eight years 
of judicial appointments in the Bush administration. He returned to the District of Columbia as a trial attorney defending civil cases 
against the Metropolitan Police Department. Though demanding, the job refurbishes his litigation skills and his interest in police liability issues.
