Dateline: October 2010
Milt is currently vacationing in Italy, and was unable to attend our recent Homecoming reunion. The following is his report: Our "Untrip" included a week in an apartment in Florence and a week in an apartment in Atrani, on the Amalfi Coast. Then three days on our own in Rome. All travel was on our own, so lots of research and map-reading. Did take a few one-day tourist excursions, to Pompeii and Herculean, to San Gimignano, to Isle of Capri, to Colosseum and Roman Forum Ruins.
Florence has all of the museums and Renaissance art of Europe. And Amalfi has all of the steps in Italy... Can't go anywhere without a step or several hundred. Rome has tons of history. After seeing the ruins of Julius Caesar's Rome, I need to reread "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" to compare how Rome fell with what's going on in USA at the moment.
Great trip and recommended to any one with good taste in art and food, and a healthy walking ability.

It's now official. The freshman class at Randolph Macon this fall will include at least one descendant of the original animal house. Andrew Willyard has accepted their offer of a Presidential Scholarship and will be attending RMC this fall -- class of 2010. I guess it was all the tales he's heard over the years at the River Party about the place. Let's hope he's better behaved than we were or he'll lose that scholarship!
Following a hot tip from Alan Brody Rashkind (a/k/a ABR), I called Ira Lee Andrews, RMC's Dean of Students, to inquire about the current status of our former castle at 101 College Avenue. After AEPi lost our charter and disbanded, Pi Kappa Alpha bought the dump from National, fixed it up, and indeed, Alan's son Gray was a brother of that group. However, as Mr. Andrews confirmed, PiKA has bombed out, been de-certified as an approved student organization, and the house is vacant and in poor shape. Remember "Poltergeist"? Maybe that house is built on a graveyard or something.
To contact any current RMC denizen, whether administrator, faculty, or student, the e-mail address is :first initial + last name@rmc.edu, as in Iandrews@rmc.edu

Dateline: 14 November 2002
Ethan Brody Rashkind, born on November 14, 2002 in Richmond, a very healthy baby boy, 9 lbs. 3 ozs. He already has more hair than me, and one "friend" of mine says the kid is so damn good looking he will have a hard time explaining to his friends how come his grandfather looks so bad and yet is still part of the same family. I'll tell him to answer by pointing to his mother (Cameron, RMC ' 94). Cameron had a long labor, followed by a Cesarean section, but she is doing well, although tired. Gray is not quite as impossible as his own dad, but he is pushing the pride envelope fairly hard himself.
