Bruce:
Thanks for taking on the role of class secretary. I hope all is well with you.
I just wanted to give you an update of a recent gathering.
At the end of September, there was a mini-KA flickerball camp in Jacksonville. Bill McDade and Dave (Fly) Williams hosted Phil (Tex) Collins, Vance Christopher, Glen Ballard, Dave Thomas and Ken Bell for a weekend of football and fellowship. Glen was a real loser. On Saturday, we watched FSU dismantle Colorado. Ken is an FSU law grad and Glen's daughter attends Colo. Glen hoped for redemption on Sunday when we went to the Jaguar/Texan game. The OT loss was hard of the Texans. Bill has been with IBM for 30 years now. He heads their new employee training program in the U.S. Fly is still helping to run the family business which has extended relationships into China and South America. Vance and Glenn are practicing law in Houston. Dave is in-house counsel for a large nursing home company. After almost 18 years as a judge, Ken has left the Florida Supreme Court and returned to private practice in Pensacola.
If you need more details and much more humor, contact Bill and Dave.
Again, thanks!
Class Notes for Davidson College Class of 1978
A Note and Photo from Peter Clifford
Hi Bruce,
I have a 21 year old daughter enjoying her junior year abroad in Milan and three four year olds (see attached photo) entering kindergarten next fall at Bronxville Elementary School in Westchester County, NY. It is a ridiculously large spread, but I guess not all that uncommon these days. Even so I find it funny that at age 54 I am going to parent/teacher conferences at the preschool and sitting on chairs made for toddlers while listening to discussions about the development of fine motor skills. I am not so much worried about my kids’ ability to string a bead necklace as I am about my ability to get up out of that chair after thirty minutes. In any case all four children are thriving and bring much joy to me and my wife. My older daughter will finish her senior year at Hamilton College, that is if she ever does return from Italy. Thanks to Facebook I am able to catch a glimpse of what her life is like in the fashion capital of Europe. All I know is that there are many photos posted of her in night clubs and none of her in libraries.
I continue to work in publishing for a company that specializes in literacy materials for struggling K-8 readers and English-language learners. My wife Sarah started an online newspaper (www.myhometownbronxville.com) two years ago that covers local village news and occupies her time in between mediating disputes over toy sharing.
All the best,
Peter Clifford.

I never cared for the music of Phil Collins, but I always liked the tunes Paul Collins played down the hall.
