We received the following updates from Andrew Odell who was inspired to submit news after bumping into Ben Gerson in his neighborhood park:

“I am in regular contact with David Guss, Professor Emeritus in the Anthropology Department of Tufts University and now Trustee and Programming Committee Director of the Somerville Museum outside of Boston. David’s daughter Chloe just gave birth to her second child and lives in Brooklyn (around the corner from my daughter, Katherine, by happenstance). Ben Gerson, now retired, achieved great success as a lawyer and journalist, most recently as Editor-in-Chief of the National Law Review.

My meeting with Ben gave rise to reaching out to Tony Pisani, who lives on the West Side near Central Park; Ben and I are just arranging a lunch with Tony.

My son Peter, too, lives on the West Side, and after a stint as an investment banker, now does M&A for a publicly-listed company. My daughter, known as Kat, has carved out a career as a journalist in the hospitality industry with 2 published books, appearances in the TV media (including as a Times Square New Year’s moderator), etc. She is married to a 3-star Michelin chef (we eat/drink incredibly when they are around) and, most importantly, delivered our first grandchild recently.

My wife, Vlasta, will be retiring from her art consulting position in the near future, and I continue my corporate law practice. We live in Manhattan but spend more time in the country.My brother Peter ’60 continues his ophthalmology practice in the City, and Vlasta and I see my brother and wife frequently on the weekends.”
