The spring 2012 Lafayette
Magazine featured mentoring efforts
of Bill Casey and Joe Heaney and
included a great article, “Coaching
Life Skills,” by Jim Dicker, who is
now vice president, development and
college relations. Many of us are
being drawn back to Lafayette and
the wonderful opportunities it offers
us throughout the many stages of
our lives. If you are interested in
hiring a Lafayette student, participating
in the internship program, or
looking for a career change,
please contact Margie Cherry,
who is focused on alumni Career
Services, at cherrym@lafayette.edu

State Representative Paul
1986 Brodeur (Mass.) hosted an
externship for two Lafayette students,
Chris Rodrigues ’14 and Melissa
Drennan ’12. The students shadowed
Paul and his legislative aide, Jessica
Abramovich, this past January in
Boston. Their externship included active
participation and hands-on experience
as they joined in meetings with
constituents, representatives, senators,
and even the mayor of Melrose.
Sam Strum, after a sushi dinner in
Cleveland, was afforded a cameo
appearance with fellow axeman Dan
Fremont in his band, Essence. New
Jersey native Sam noted that Dan’s gear,
broken cables, and buzzing amps could
not disguise Dan’s amp-le guitarpicking
talents, showcased—as in the
old days—“well past midnight.”
Pete Glock was billed as master
of ceremonies at a gathering in the
nation’s capital in April. Joining him
inside the beltway were Chris Nolan
and about a dozen others.
Gary Herschman is a member of
the law firm Sills Cummis & Gross.
He serves on the firm’s management
committee and is chair of its thriving
health care practice group. In addition,
he is vice chair of American Health
Lawyers Association’s Fraud and Abuse
Practice Group and has been selected
for inclusion in Chambers USA, The Best
Lawyers in America, and New Jersey
Super Lawyers. A leading health care
lawyer, he frequently publishes articles
in national publications and speaks at
conferences about health care law issues.
Susan Kowalenko and Marty
Peterson report (hat tip Wynne
Whitman) that their eldest daughter,
Audrey Peterson, will be a member
of Lafayette’s Class of 2016.
Lisa Lacroce Patterson attended a
lecture by June Schlueter, her first-year
English professor, former academic
adviser, and lifelong friend. June’s book,
The Album Amicorum and the London
of Shakespeare’s Time, has just been
published. Lisa also enjoyed a visit
with Ellis Finger, director of Williams
Center for the Arts, and Geoff
Gehman ’80.
This past November, former ’Pard
grappler John Martucci entered
collegiate officiating ranks at East
Stroudsburg University. Joining him
on the mat was son Colin, who wrestled
for ESU in his first match.
Scott Schaible and family hosted
Geoff Kany this past February. Geoff
was back from Alaska and visiting
Denver with his son’s hockey team.
His son is also a laxman (lacrosse).
