Wash, DC - 03/19/2009

The 79th Day of the Year (actually missed it by one day) event in the nation’s capital was well-attended.  Members of the Class of 79 who were willing to support the President’s request to spend and support the economy included the following who are featured in the accompanying photo.  Seated (from left to right) are: Julianna Hicks (Marlowe’s wife, engineer and mother of their three sons), Roger Sullivan (new job at Booz Allen), Rob Worley (recently doing some volunteer work on the United Way board), Paul Centenari (newly interested in crossword puzzles, n o, really, kind of late in life to develop intellectual pursuits but nevertheless), and Burr Gray (happy to have his modest government job with the National Guard Bureau’s Chief Counsel’s office) .  Standing (from left to right) are: Steve Hufford (his daughter will attend Mt Holoyoke this fall), Barb Murphy (former long term member, along with Steve, of the Choates housing complex at Dartmouth), T Weymouth (has helped lead the renovation/reestablishment of the Zeta Psi…yawn…fraternity house which expects to admit brothers this fall for the first time in a few years), Chris O’Brien (has a big new position as the US Head of Market Development for Oerlikon Solar, and is frequently on TV and radio, and a featured speaker and panelist on solar issues), Gordy Daisley (kept talking all night about melting the “iceberg” of frozen credit in the country), Marlow Hicks (came down from Deleware for the event but kept saying it was not a big deal), Marshall Fazzone (apparently the family farm in Cuba is going well and he is now looking at starting a vineyard/winery in Chile), and Tim Ehrsam (still at Oracle and had a downtown appointment that day so he started partying about an hour before anyone else arrived).
