ing tackle and other sporting
goods. I think it was in Manville
that I argued the merits of crew
over lacrosse with, of all peo-
ple,
Gregg Stone
. I’ve become
quite fond of nylon lax heads a
half century later. I must have
won the argument. My oar is
mounted on my office wall. The
brightly colored lacrosse heads
are just for decoration.”
Peter Seymour
shares: “I
recently attended the first opus
for
Bram Lewis
in his new po-
sition as creative director for
the Schoolhouse Theater here
in Westchester. I believe oth-
er formmates attended on other
days as well. Bram adapted the
iconic short story by O. Henry,
“Gift of the Magi” for the stage,
and it provided a little sex and
a back story that did not exist
in the original. Saw
Woody Pier
and his wife, Gwen, at dinner
in early December, and have
exchanged a couple of texts with
Fred Stillman
. My youngest,
Sebastien, is a sophomore at
The Gunnery and loving it, while
my eldest, Nico, graduates from
the local high school this year
and plans on enlisting in the
Marines.”
Tony Sherer
reports: “I am
happily teaching courses on
modern European history and
the Cold War at the Woodhall
School in Bethlehem, Conn. I
also direct the plays in a state-
of-the-art theatre, doing edgy
stuff like
Lysistrata
with an
all-male cast. I am grateful for
the opportunities to have served
as a headmaster twice, but am
thrilled to be back in the class-
roomwhere I belong. Somuch of
what I do daily ismodeled on the
mentors we had so long ago at
SPS. It seems tome that teaching
is an unbroken chain all the way
back to Socrates. Best to all.”

In our ongoing “when two or

department,
Jim Moorhead
tells us that “
Chip Haggerty
and I had a pre-holiday lunch in
D.C. He first arranged for me to
have lunch with his son in the
fall, so must have passed that
test. Hags remains efferves-
cent. We laughed about skiing,
SPS, and ourselves. Sorry no
photo – but we are both still
Hollywood-ready.”
