Tidbit from classmate Gary Niess

A good friend of mine found this in a pile of stamps from the attic of his wife’s parents.  He asked if I knew of this case, poor fellow.  I went through the whole story starting with Eleazor, ‘500 gallons of rum’, the NH legislature’s attempted takeover, complicity of John Wheelock and of course Daniel Webster’s role.  Moved on to the 5-1 Supreme Court decision from the Marshall court and its significance long term for contract litigation.

Gilliatt, David Rees (10/17/2025)

David Rees Gilliatt '69 left us on October 17, 2025, at his home in Croton-on-Hudson NY, attended by his wife of 49 years, Karen, and daughter Olivia '08.  Dave left campus at the end of freshman year to serve with the 1st Cavalry in Vietnam.  On his return in September 1968, he threw himself into his music and studies, followed by law school and legal practice. Whatever he pursued, he did so avidly, and over time became an expert Alpine and X-country skier, sailor, windsurfer, archer, and marksman, as well as a cigar aficionado.

Casual Conversation March 15 with Sandy Alderson

Classmate Sandy Alderson will join us for his second (!) Casual Conversation on Zoom on Sunday, March 15 at 3 pm Eastern Time.  The first time he spoke with us about baseball, 48 people were on the video call.  This time the subject is baseball again, but with one caveat: “Everything baseball but NOT the Yankees.”   For this session, that team is a seven letter word which should be treated as the FCC once upon a time viewed “b-----d.’
