John, I remeber you as a member of the LHS Brain Trust. I spent a week in Ms Drews class. I heard an excerpt of your Fox regarding the Alaska eartquake. Has the permafrost been thawing quicker in modern industrial times?

Happy Birthday Elizabeth! As socially inept as I was at LHHS, I could always tell the difference between the 2 Liz Jackson's at school. Both were super intelligent, but 1 was much younger and prettier! Let you decide which Liz is which! ??

Paula, I thought I would escape New England cold, snow and ice--but I didn't go far enough unlike you, Peter Leonard and Peter Goodspeed, et al. My only serious winter time accident was on the iced sidewalks of DC. And while the area has had some snowmaggedons, my family (Deb, son Ben and I ) avoided the latest snowmaggedeon by moving into a condo--leave the plowing and shoveling to others and the car in the garage. 

Cheryl, were you on the "infamous" bus trip home from New Hampshire (I think the tourament was at Darthmouth). It was a treacherous bus ride home due to the ice storm. I believe it was Ms. Tookey who tried to put the team up for the night at a motel, but the parents back home said no. We got home 2 am or later.

Looking at the yearbook, I see Mrs. Noonan was the coach at the time of the photo. She did prepare the debate team. Not so much Ms. Tookey. 

(Maybe someone I remember Steve as an amusing reconteur with a rapier like wit. We were debate partners on the LHS debate team( the debate coach never spent much time preparing us--so the team winged it for the most part). The gang (Steve, Phil, Rita, Jennifer and I formed) was enriched by Steve's presence. 

A Lynn Item columnist on Steve's death wrote about Steve's wealth of information and keen insight. He said that Steve should have a column of his own in a newspaper.  

Happy early Birthday!
