The alumni weekend class dinner honoring undergraduate progeny has become a tradition. Attendees included Andie and Jack Laporte and son Tim 05; Dawn and Dick Fiss and daughter Stirling 06; Ellen and Peter Safir and son Jesse 06; Anita and Fred Chu, daughter Melinda 03, and son Fred 06; and Fred Waite and Sherrian Knight and daughter Angharad 04.
Also present were Caroline and Frank Strasburger; Peter Cooper (finishing his final year as headmaster of the American School in Tokyo and soon the headmaster of an international school in Rio de Janeiro); and Laura Perlman 05, the daughter of David Perlman.
The undergraduates look forward to the dinner even more than their parents, probably because the cuisine at Prospect surpasses their usual fare at the residential colleges or clubs. Well do it again next year.
John Nesbitt reports two significant events in his family last summer. Younger son, David, graduated from Bates College in May, and older son, John, married Lesley Fowler at the Snow Village Inn in New Hampshire, in August. He was thrilled to have Emmy and Bill Holt attend the celebration.
Judy and Richard Davidson continue to live in Orlando, Fla., on the other side of town from Disneyland. Richard is enjoying (1) the practice of law as a partner at Lowndes, Orostick, Doster, Kantor and Reed, specializing in corporate and real estate finance, (2) traveling in Europe, and (3) smiling, no doubt aided by offspring. Son Chris 94 works in St. Louis for Harrahs; son Scott is an investment banker in St. Petersburg, Fla., and father last April to the first Davidson grandchild, Will; and daughter Julie teaches fourth-grade in Fredericksburg, Va.
Annual class dinner, Apr. 30, Princeton Club of NYC. Call Roger Liddell. Our speaker will be Professor Lawrence Rosen on An Anthropologists View of Arab Society and Law.
