as many of you at our 50th as
possible.
Haven Pell writes: “I joined
Bruce Lauritzen ’61 on June
21, 2013, to celebrate two mile-
stones. The first was Bruce’s
70th birthday, but the second
– revealed here for the first
time – was the 39th anniver-
sary of the invention of social
networking. In the spring of
1974, I placed a form note in
Alumni Horae saying that I was
graduating from law school,
marrying Simmy Stockman,
and moving to Omaha, Neb., to
join a law firm. Lauritzen, who
lived in Omaha, read the note,
picked up a pen, andwrote a let-
ter offering his welcome to the
newlyweds (social networking
was not then quite what it has
since become). A lifelong family
friendship ensued. Facebook,
Twitter, and their electronic
brethren found their origin in
this very magazine almost 40
years ago.”

Our 50th Reunion Committee,
including RenMartin and part-
ner Cathy Kaplan, Arn Welles
and wife Dana, Nat Prentice
and wife Anita, Bernard Gray,
Steve Whitman, Peter Twin-
ing , John Ingram and wife
Tamar, RandyMorgan andwife
Terry DeKalb, David Parshall,
and Ed Bartlett, met in New
York City on September 7, and,
afterward, a number of us and a
few other illustrious guests met
at the Guggenheim Museum
for a private tour of the James
Turrell exhibition. John Ingram,
head of the art department at
the United Nations International
School, was much more knowl-
edgeable about Turrell than
any of the rest of us, but we all
had a good time. Rick Billings
participated in our meeting
earlier in the day but was unable
to stay for the later festivities,
including the museum tour,
cocktails, and dinner.
Nat Prentice and his wife,
Anita, met up with Kiril Sokol-
off and his daughter, Natasha,
in the Adirondacks in the early
days of summer. Nat reported
a swell evening, missing only
Natasha’s mother, Kate, which
included lively conversation
with topics ranging from the
1960s to the present, plus deli-
cious cuisine.
Philip Conover has created
a provocative blog (peregri-
noenelcamino.blogspot.com).
The blog focuses on “psycho-
history,” defined in Philip’s
blog, and also includes a fam-
ily biography of Philip’s most
distinguished “north of the
border” ancestors. As some of
you may know, Philip is a direct
descendant of Henry Coit, the
founding Rector of St. Paul’s
School. The family biography
also includes an appreciation
of Philip’s grandfather, the Rev-
erend James Potter Conover
(Form of 1876), written by the
Reverend Samuel S. Drury and
published in the 1932 edition of
the Horae Scholasticae.

This from Roy Coppedge :
“Having just dropped off my
youngest child, Peter ’17, 14,
at Armour House (it used to be
the infirmary), I suspect that I
am currently the last member
of our form and (possibly) the
oldest alumnus with a child at
SPS. I’m sure that some of you
will want to compete in this
matter (Hornblower ?). Merci-
fully, I’m not the oldest parent
of a Third Former, much to my
son’s relief!”

On a recent trip to Marrakech,
Morocco, to attend a wedding,
my wife, Alice Young, and I
spent some time with grooms-
man Darrick Harris ’79 , and
his daughter, Dashiel. We had
the opportunity to have dinner
with them the day after the
wedding at Sir Richard Bran-
son’s Kasbah Tamadot in the
foothills of the AtlasMountains.
