1969

Several months ago I mentioned that Brooke Jackson had been appointed a district judge for Jefferson County, Colo. A month after being sworn in, Brooke became part of the first threejudge panel in the state under a new law to conSider a death penalty case. The panel unanimously rejected the death penalty for the case under consideration. Talk about hitting the ground running!

Dick Lahey has been appointed to the board of directors of Eagle Capital International. As is the case with all such corporate announcements, Dick's recent business history was included. In 1972 he founded the Mt. Tam Racquet Club in Larkspur, Calif., and serves as its president and CEO. Over the past several years Dick has served in senior management capacities with several firms including the Chestnut Group, Metallgesellschaft AG, Continental Grain Co., Capital Ideas, Citicorp Securities, Weeden & Co. and Bankers Trust Cos.

The law firm of Haynsworth, Marion, McKay and Guerard of Charleston, S.C., has brought Robert Pearlman aboard as its newest partner. Bob is a tax specialist and will concentrate in the areas of probate, probate litigation, estate planning and administration as well as business planning and corporate and partnership law.

In the October issue I mentioned that Mark Sheetz had given a talk about NATO. The brevity of my remarks prompted him to send me the complete text of this latest article that appeared in the summer issue of Security Studies. The title of the article is "Exit Strategies: American Grand Designs for Postwar European Security." I would quote from it but my word limit is fast approaching.

In response to my reference to nicknames, Wally Sizer emailed to assure the class that he is still "Wally" and has not switched to "Walter" for fear of being mistaken for a mature individual.

If any of you want the class website URL or information on how to get on the class electronic mailing list, e-mail me at the address below. Take care and write.
