There are
several ways to become a member of the Columbia College community.
One is to actually attend the College, sit through at least 124
credit hours, and four years later (or less if you're particularly
bright) graduate with a degree. Another way is to marry a
Columbian, which prior to 1984 was the only way for a woman (why
she would want to, now that's a mystery). You could receive an
honorary degree, I guess, but it's not a path one can depend upon.
Finally, I think the nicest way is to be born into it.
Which leads
me to announce the birth of Joseph Facciano Diller, the son of
Bradley R. Diller and Pauline R. Facciano (UC Berkeley).
Bradley, his wife and son reside in San Francisco, one of the
country's greatest cities. I'm sure Bradley and Pauline are
extraordinarily proud of their son, and are right now debating
Berkeley vs. Columbia (which debate is most likely the product of
sleep deprivation). Didn't we play them in football about a million
years ago, or am I confusing them with Stanford? In any event, we
wish them the best with Joseph and wish them every
happiness.
It was a
quiet summer in Washington, D.C., a little hotter and drier than
normal. Hope to hear from more of you in the fall.

future.

Although he spends time in the Tristate area at another division of
the company, Larry is renovating his new house in Noe Valley, San
Francisco. He has now learned "more about seismic retrofitting than
I really want to know." Apparently, classmate Jonathan Fox
lives across the street with his wife, Nikki, and their
daughter.

second child, Marygrace Faith, in January 1998. Lou would like to
hear from the "12 Jay Procrastinators." Somehow we missed their
group shot in the yearbook!

tongue-in-cheek, provides advice to campus activists and
administrators alike on behavioral guidelines for protests and
demonstrations.
