counters with
Doug Chan

musicologists extraordinaire.
Keith has three grown children,
Elizabeth, Toby, and Julian, and
Keith’s wife, Marianne, will be
joining him on the right coast
shortly.
David Holt
, our prolific
Great White North correspon-
dent, reports that “while in
Toronto for a fitness show”
(which is related to his work at
Optimyz, one of the magazines
of which he is editor-in-chief
and a partner), “I hung out with
Gary Hodder ’73
, an attorney.”
(Loyal readers of this column
[the formnotes] may recall that
last quarter, Gary hung out with
John Cook
, taking in an ice
hockey game in South Florida.
Looks like Gary is getting more
ink in our formnotes than in
his own form’s formnotes. Well
done, Gary!) David continues,
“Gary helped me retrieve a lost
notebook that a cabbie had
dropped off at the Royal York
Hotel. Then we went with his
friend Selwyn, whom we hap-
pened to meet on the sidewalk,
to the Rex Jazz Club. This great
trio from Benin played. They
were only in Canada for the day,
they told me. Also, my mother,
Anne (89), died in July, as didmy
wife Donna’s mother, Marjorie
(82); both lived in the same re-
tirement home in Halifax.” Da-
vid’s September update: “Today
and yesterday I cycled, kayaked,
and swam in a nearby lake. Last
night, I drank some wine on the
deck with neighbors. Beauti-
ful end of September in Nova
Scotia. Turning 60 in a few days,
feeling good. (Found the boat
race schedule from our 40th
reunion in a jacket pocket.)”
Dierk Groeneman
chimes
in from Colorado: “
Bill Keegan
was generous enough to include
me in his annual pilgrimage
to the Punk Rock Bowling and
Music Festival, held every May
in Las Vegas. It was great to
see favorite old bands (Devo,
DRI, Black Flag alumni per-
forming as just Flag but bearing
the venerable Black Flag logo).
There was also a side trip to
a pinball museum, where Bill
impressed with his skill and
deep knowledge of pinball-
machine history. Thank you,
Bill, for the chance to remember
good times!” Bill, of course,
was a Pinball Wizard before
Pete Townshend (SPS Form of
1969…I wish) wrote that song.
So guys, how about organizing
our formouting to BurningMan
next year?
Please keep your cards, let-
ters, and e-mails coming for the
next issue. And please check out
our form’s LinkedIn and Yahoo
groups. In the Yahoo group, you
will find some information on
our form’s plaques that hang in
the cloister of the Upper (now
called Coit). And we thought we
were the first class not to get
a class plaque. Looks like the
School had a change of heart.

the District 19 seat in the Sen-

for the Democratic nomination
and cites his love of the district
and especially the city of Bath,
where he co-owns the Solo

as his drive for seeking the seat.
