I finished five minutes slower this year in the heat,
but was glad the authorities did not remove the sign I secretly made and put up before the race!
Cliff,
Mary and I meet six Union '74 alums and their spouses at a Peter Stuyvesant residence on Saturday afternoon.
Then we all proceed to Broadway for "Avenue Q."

The Second Second
Your article on the Hamilton-Burr rematch ("Duel Degree" winter) failed to note that Burr's second this time around was Peter ____. ('78SEAS). Not only did he portray William P. VanNess, but Peter also provided the dueling pistols, which are replicas of the real thing. Cliff Wattly '72 SEAS Ridgefield, CT
Having worked with the Weehawken Historical Commission to plan the bicentennial event, Peter ___ was indeed Antonio Burr's second at the July 11 reenactment. Last fall he lectured to the Columbia University Alumni Club of Fairfield County on Burr and Hamilton and fired his pistols in another restaging of the duel. "I met David Rockefeller at the Council on Foreign Relations," ____ told us, "and we discussed the original pistols he has in the vault of Chase Manhattan, the bank founded by Aaron Burr. My pistols were used in the History Channel documentary Duel, with Richard Dreyfuss." - Ed.

Raf and Greg,
Thanks for those cool 3D Father's Day cards.
Keeping up your good work habits and joking ways is the best Father's Day gift you can give me.
Thanks for helping me clear dense woodlands with the chain saws this week.
Greg, here is the picture Herb took of us on The Jubilee.
