The class dinner last week was enjoyable. Peter and Joe P ran the show with the usual aplomb.  I sat with Lee Blyler, the Mulocks, and the two undergrads who spoke on STEM after dinner - excellent kids.  They consider Ed Zschau and entrepreneurship one of their best experiences at Princeton. Blyler is in the process of re-landscaping his home in NJ.  The Blairs have a small investment in a new broadway play - Come from Away, and it's doing well so far.  Mary Pickens looks great, but the brain tumor persists.  Carol W was in good form as always, as were George and Tamara. They gave us a brief rundown of their exciting wedding in Iceland, including their helo ride up to the mountain where they exchanged vows. Very happy.
All's well in Yardley.  We're heading to Denver Tuesday.
Cheers,
Joe McGinity 6/11/97
