Moving Tribute
Thank you for Dana Goodyear ’94’s
moving tribute to her stepfather,
Mike Morgan ’68, and our class’s tri-
bute to him. It captured Mike and our
class nicely.
Your presentation of the piece also
refers to the Sixth Form Letter and its
impact on the School, and to the sud-
den death so soon after Mike’s of Lloyd
Fonvielle ’68. Lloyd was (with Rick King,
our class president) a principal author
of the Sixth Form Letter.
The same issue had other resonances
with the experience of our class and
the Sixth Form Letter – Bob Mueller’s
description of Matthew Warren as “re-
mote” – and earlier in the year reported
the death of Bill Oates, Warren’s suc-
cessor. I realized in light of the tributes
just how much Oates had to do with an
enlightened response to the letter and
putting St. Paul’s ahead of the curve of
change; without him, the “fury and dis-
belief” Dana refers to might have carried
the day.
The Dana Goodyear piece points to
“Fie on Man” as a harbinger of things
to come. The Sixth Form Letter was cer-
tainly a defining moment for our form
but also, I believe, a pivotal moment for
the School. I’ve continued to be engaged
in political issues and government ever
since, but the Sixth Form Letter experi-
ence is on the highlight list. It’s a story
with a happy ending.

Tradition of Public Service
Thank you for the wonderful article/
interview you did with Bob Mueller ’62.
We overlapped as U.S. Attorneys when
he took over the Northern District of
California office at a very challenging
time for that office. His service as FBI
director brought him before me often,
both on the Judiciary Committee and
the Intelligence Committee. It’s not just
me; virtually everyone who has worked
with Bob considers him an exemplary
public servant.
St. Paul’s has had a long tradition of
public service, and Bob Mueller is a truly
fine example of that tradition. In very
tough posts, he has performed with ex-
ceptional honor and skill. You were right
to salute him.

Grateful for News
I just finished reading cover to cover the
spring edition of the
Alumni Horae
. First,
thank you for resuming sending me the
hard copy of the
Horae
, despite having
to pay international postage to get it to
me in Costa Rica. I would not have even
opened an electronic version. And I would
have missed not only the usual news of
interest regarding the School and other
alumni, but article after article worthy of
publication in a national general circula-
tion magazine. Keep up the good work!
