Robert Rich ’81 is enjoying serving as president of his neighborhood association in Mountain View, which he’s done since 2012. He says, “Our neighborhood of 1,800 households originally organized to seek a new public school (now under construction) in an underserved quadrant. Basically, being president means grilling at picnics in the park several times a year for 200+ people.” He adds that he’s been painting a lot and recently released a double album called “Tactile Ground”.

David Zetland ’87 shares: “In 2018, I began my fifth year teaching liberal arts at Leiden University College and published my 700-page book, The Best of Aguanomics, about which you can read more on my blog. Most recently, I took a five-week holiday in southeast Asia. Look me up in Amsterdam if you’re passing through.”
