Hi Irwin. Happy belated birthday. Bruce and I think of you often. We have warm, wonderful memories?
I remember seeing Chip in the Quad duriing Freshman year. He was throwing a frisbee with someone, then listening to where the return landed so he could pick it up. It was just one more adjustment that he made in his life. Playing the organ, though, was an amazing achievement. RIP, Chip.
Sorry I won't be able to attend this year. I guess I'm blessed to still have a career which includes lots of travel; and I realized that I had over-booked my travel schedule. Gloria and I live just 5 miles north of Boston's Logan Airport, and will always welcome any old Oberlin friends to stop by for a visit [if I'm in town].
My work as an Ambassador for the Directory of Open Access Journals [DOAJ] keeps me busy and on my toes. I'm eager to see an end to scholarly publishing business models that are based on making sure that "the wrong people can't access the scholarship". There is no legitimate business reason for scholarly publishing to rely on such models.

One thing is am sure of, none of us as '65 freshmen knew what we would be doing four years later. Even after graduation, very few of us had any idea of where we would be working in '73. Women? Children? Well, that just kinda happened. Grandkids are better. I've been married to the same beautiful woman for 44 years, and still don't get understand why she picked me. Am I successful? I have two sons who are excellent fathers and have their own successful businesses. I have a beautiful daughter, a savvy, executive in a big company, and I find her wonderful despite the fact that she's never taken any advice I've given her. Congrats to you, Michael. Your life sounds perfectly normal.
