Then And Now

 

Top photo from Brown's commencement, 1989 (guest speakers were NY Governor Mario Cuomo, Assistant Secretary of State for Human Rights Richard Schifter, broadcast journalist Irving Levine and poet Maya Angelou - what a lineup to begin adult life). With Seamus on the left, we were on Brown's cross country and track teams together my junior and senior years.

Fergal has gone on to accomplish great things as the founding partner Highland Europe, the elite venture investment firm. He has four children at or graduated from Brown and, true to form, ran 7 marathons on seven continents in seven days in 2025. 

The bottom photo from last weekend at the Ireland-England rugby match at Twickenham stadium (Ireland 42, England 21). New friend Dom, a career coach par excellence, is on the far left.
