writes: “The
timing of your [John Henry’s]
letter was perfect. I’m just about
to board a plane to Las Vegas,
where I will meet up with
Bill
Keegan
for our second con-
secutive Punk Rock Bowling
festival. This time we also have
tickets to see Guns and Roses at
the Hard Rock Hotel. I’m stoked
about seeing Guns and Roses at
all. To see them in a place that
seats only around 5,000 people
makes it special. To have tickets
that should put us very near the
stagemakes it once in a lifetime.
In case you are wondering,
Slash is no longer in the band
but the current lineup is very
formidable all the same.”
Jeffrey Keith
reports that
“
Charlie Bronson
and I shared
bartender duties and other
various entertainment support
responsibilities at a showroom
reception for designer Liza
Evans at trendy NEMA in San
Francisco this April. The 23rd-
floor apartment overlooked
the Twitter headquarters roof
garden, a veritable mosaic of
quilted plantings reminiscent
of a Waldorf School playground
I knew in a past life.
Linda Fair-
child ’73
(sister of
David Holt
)
co-hosted the event, which
featured work by a number of
artists from Linda Fairchild
Contemporary Art. Bronson
was charming, as usual, and
I surprisingly workmanlike.
Linda is also my dealer. No,
no, not that kind of dealer: my
art dealer.” Jeffrey also sent in
another wonderful ink-on-
mylar “cartoon” titled “Sail Like
A Viking,” another strategy
for trying to win the Quissett
Yacht Club/Quissett Harbor
Regatta, 2014 QYC Invitational
Herreschoff S Class Regatta in
August, which will have hap-
pened by the time you read this
column. Besides, not everyone
can pull off wearing a Viking
helmet quite like Jeffrey.
John Henry Low
continues:
“It feels like being the
Times of
London
crossword puzzle editor
to release the answer to a quiz
on the ‘mystery formmate’
photo posted way back in the
winter issue of
Alumni Horae
(the editorial and printing lead
times here are very long). There
was only one correct answer
to the mystery photo, which
was
J.T. Howell
holding up
his trophy fish. As his prize,
the winning contestant chose
anonymity in our column, at
least for now. Thank you and
you know who you are.
Jamie
Byrne
actually tallied the most
votes, even though it was not his
photo.
“While the collective memo-
ries of our formmay have been
dismal, it was Robin Williams
who said that ‘if you can re-
member the 60s, you were not
there.’ So this issue’s blast-
from-the-past photo has all
the names captioned below
it. Please keep your cards and
letters and old (and new) photos
coming in. Maybe let us know
how you spent your summer
vacation and what old rock ‘n’
rollers you may have seen on
your ‘see thembefore they can’t
tour anymore tour’ like Dierk
and Bill did. Mine included San-
tana, Bob Weir of the Grateful
Dead, and the Allman Brothers
Band.”
