Steven Lebow: Rabbi Steven Lebow’s Atlanta congregation celebrated his retirement and 40 years of service in the rabbinate. Rabbi Lebow is now “semi-retired” and still serves a number of Jewish congregations in north Georgia.

Joseph Dreher: I was honored and delighted to host our ‘77 class reunion at Dreher’s Grey Horse Farm and wish to overwhelmingly thank every classmate for attending, but most especially Jayne Danska who coordinated the entire effort, and as especially Anthony Woltz and Peter Bresnan for their awesome communal music performance which drew everyone even closer (together). Jayne was instrumental in coordinating the entire event at my farm. Thank you all!!

Janette Thomas Greenwood: I retired this spring after 31 years as a professor of history at Clark University in Worcester, Mass., and am now enjoying the usual retirement activities: playing lots of pickleball, spending time with my two grandsons, traveling with my husband, Mike Rubin, and generally just enjoying life in Rhode Island. A shout out to the 1976-77 women's basketball team and our perfect record. (Just all in the loss column! But we had a lot of fun.)

Joe Gioia: Wow where to start?  Living in Livingston, MT for the last five years, writing stuff and, more recently, taking photographs that you can see on Instagram @thevisiblerepublic; also playing guitar mainly to records - well, mp3s - at home. I have been working with Arthur Marx ’75 and Kevin Martin ’75 producing articles for Magellantv, a documentary streaming service launched some years ago by Tom Lucas '75. You can read what we do under the 'articles' tab at the Magellantv website.  In other news I used to see our own John Giarrizzo down in Cody, WY, before he recently decamped to Woodstock, NY - certainly a step-up culture-wise. Happily, Gary Snyder ’79 moved to Bozeman, MT a few years back, and it’s been great watching (and occasionally helping) him promote a new field of western art with the work of abstract painter Ben Miller. All in all, Livingston is a lively little town only now coming back up-to-speed after the worst of the pandemic, and I would be pleased to see any of you who care to stop by.

Peter Gray: Nothing new now---take care!

John Bogasky: My wife Shelly and I went "Over The Edge" on September 17th, rappelling down a 12-story building to raise money for our local Special Olympics program. We raised over $15,000, thanks in part to donations from many classmates. 

Jerry Mindes: Jerry stays busy globally as an advocate for inclusive education and inclusive development assistance, and locally by encouraging neighbors to lower their carbon footprint by composing food waste.

Mike Schmidtmann: I was Emcee and Head of Speaker Curation at a TEDx Conference in Northern Virginia this September. We had speakers from all over the USA travel here to give short talks on science, community, and human potential. Watch for the videos in a couple months on the TED website!
