The works include: Handel's Messiah in Carnegie Hall and Mendelssohn's Elijah. Recent travels included a trip to Australia. W. Thomas Fagan, J.D. of Honolulu, Hawaii 
teaches political science as an adjunct instructor at Hawaii Pacific University. He reports being punch-drunk from grading so many essay answers. Tom comments “if you 
are one of my HPU students and the grade I gave you was a "K", a "Q" or a smiley face please contact me immediately.” Those of us who have endured graduate student 
essays can relate: Been there, earned the faculty T-shirt. In 1984, Tom joined the law firm O’Connor, Playdon, and Guben where he is a partner. Marvin Soroos retired 
in 2008 as professor of international relations and global environmental politics at North Carolina State University. He divides his time between Raleigh, North Carolina, 
and his childhood home in Missoula, Montana. An accomplished artist, the subjects of his paintings are drawn from the Big Sky country of Montana and rural North 
Carolina, and from his extensive travels both within the United States and abroad. He has been a visiting professor at universities in Finland and Bulgaria, and at 
Williams College in western Massachusetts. He and Carol traveled to Spain visiting Barcelona and Madrid. Marvin reports Spain has an amazing history of artistic 
innovation with the likes of Goya, Picasso, and Gaudi. Check out Marvin’s works; quite impressive. Gary Erickson of Sarasota, Florida has been with Executive 
Search Partners since 2002 where he serves as the managing partner. Gary recently played golf at the St. Andrews Old Course in Scotland with both his sons; a great 
experience, one for any Golfers bucket list. Birthday greetings were offered by Bruce Pacht to Tom Woodruff. “You really have that Papa Hemingway thing going, 
don't you, you Old Man in the Mountains! I'm glad you're hitting this milestone nine months before me. I'll need your experience to handle my own passage.” 
May you all age well! Bruce Pacht of the Rotary Club of Lebanon, New Hampshire, has been nominated to be the District Governor of Rotary International in 2014/2015.
