Greetings to all classmates, with

The Post-Standard newspaper in
Syracuse, N.Y., published an article
featuring Brian Musician and partner

Brian and Amy have restructured his
family’s original dairy farm into an
organic farming operation based on
community-supported agriculture and
also built a green-focused straw home
that is completely self-sustaining.
Their future plans involve hosting
tours of the facility and conducting
workshops on sustainable living
practices. Also, they plan to expand
their crop offerings to add fruits to
the current selections of gourmet
salad greens and over 100 varieties
of organic produce.

Consider this the “calm before the
storm” issue. I hope I saw many of
you at our 30th reunion in June.
However, this article was due in
April, so all of that news will have to
wait. For now, let me just say that
I’m sure it was great to see those of
you who came and made it a record
turnout.
Deb Cipriani dropped me a
note to say she still works at
