6. Do you remember Peter Brown, class of 1968? (Syracuse University BA 1972, Masters 1973)

Peter worked for United Press International in the Northeast for 8 years. Studied government and politics at Harvard on a Neiman Fellowship. Was White House correspondent for Scripps Howard Newspapers later the chain's chief political correspondent speciaizing in Presidential campaigns. Currently editorial columnist for the Orlando Sentinel and a member of the newspaper's editorial board.

Peter has written two books .. Minority Party (1990) about the state of the Democratic Party and a ghost-written book for a businessman.

Peter has asked if our class reunion might serve as a source for a book he is writing about babyboomers looking at the lives of its members and how they are a metaphor for the baby boom generation. He will be a paid attendee at the reunion in the capacity of researcher but also as class friend.

Peter would like to send out a questionnaire to our class that he has prepared to assist in the data accumulation phase of his project. We have been diligent in keeping your email addresses private. Peter's request to send out the questionnaire would require that we share with him our list of email addresses. If you do not want to be included in this mailing by Peter please send us an email indicatiing so.... reunion@mw35th.com.
