I have some good news for once: Our own Fred Hashimoto has been elected Mayor of Corrales, New Mexico!
Corrales is a peaceful rural village of about 9,000 people, sandwiched between Albuquerque, the biggest city in the state, and Rio Rancho, the fastest-growing big city. It’s a pint-sized paradise where you can sit in your yard at night and hear the crickets chirping and see the stars instead of their being washed out by manmade light. Fred loves to sit out there and listen to the sounds of nature and play jazz on his saxophone. But a few years ago, some politicians decided that Corrales could always use more tax revenue, and their proposed solution was to turn the town into a tourist destination. They came up with a plan to build a massive, all-purpose performing arts center to lure people from the two neighboring big cities and beyond. Needless to say, many residents were less than thrilled by the idea. They started showing up at council meetings each week to ask uncomfortable questions about noise, light pollution and traffic congestion. They were ignored, of course, so Fred set out to recruit someone to challenge the incumbent mayor in the next election. “But nobody wanted to step up, so at the last moment I said, ‘Well, I’ll do it,’ and I did. And it was fun! I got to meet a lot of people: young people, old people, even descendants of the original founders of the village. A lot of people helped me, including young people who did my social media for me. But I was basically my own campaign manager.” Soon, T-shirts and yard signs bearing Fred’s campaign slogan “Fred instead”… READ THE ENTIRE COLUMN HERE

’67 “Kids” on The Board
 Jaime Teevan ’98 The result of this year’s election to the Yale Corporation’s Board of Trustees has been announced, and the winner is…Jaime Teevan ’98, the daughter of our late classmate of happy memory, Jim Teevan! “The first thing I thought of when President McInnis called to tell me I had been elected to the Yale board was my dad,” she says. “Anyone who knew him knew he loved the school. It was something he wore on his sleeve.  Connie & Jim holding baby Jaime “My dad died while I was in graduate school, and I flew home to San Francisco for a visit about a week before he died. He could barely speak at that point. I think the last words he ever said were ‘Oh, Jaime, what a surprise!’ when I walked in. So I just sat by him and talked a lot. I hadn’t yet admitted this to anyone, but I told him that I wanted to be a university president. He smiled and made a happy noise; it was the last reaction I ever got from him. Over the next few days I listened to him breathe, and then I listened to the quiet. “I am still very much focused on driving ground-breaking research, helping people grow, and having a positive impact on the world. But joining the Yale board feels a bit like accomplishing what I told him I would. I know he’d be ridiculously proud. I wish I could tell him the news.”  Carter Simonds ’99 No sooner did we post the happy news above about Jaime Teevan ’98 being elected to the Board of Trustees than word came that we have another ’67 progeny on the Board: Mike Brooks’ daughter Carter Brooks Simonds, who graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 1999 and was chosen as a successor trustee this year. “It’s greatest honor that could be given to me as a Yale graduate,” she says. “The first thing I did when I got the news was call my parents. Both my father and mother (Dede Brooks ’72, a member of Yale’s first class with women) went to Yale, and so did my brother Chris ’07 and both my grandfathers. We all bleed Yale.” Carter is managing partner of Four Pines Partners, a private investment firm focusing on public equities. She’s been on the Yale Corporation Committee on Investments since 2011 and also served on the chief investment officer search committee in 2021. She’ll make a great team with Jaime, who is Chief Scientist – yes, that’s her job title! – at Microsoft, with a specialty in AI and the impact it’s going to have on society. Together, they’re the perfect people to help lead Yale into the future, don’t you think? Alberto Lau’s historic photographs and his documentary from our era at Yale will soon be permanently housed in a collection at Yale. Alberto met recently with officials of the Yale Arts Library Special Collections and Film Archives to plan the donation of his personal photo archive of Yale-related pictures from the 1960s. The Alberto Lau Collection of photographs and videos at Yale will give Yale and the wider community access to historic and unique images not published anywhere. The photos are “Probably one of the most complete photographic documentations of the period. Few others were such shutterbugs in those days of film and darkroom chemicals,” Alberto says. … Read the rest – and see some of his photos of our youthful classmates – on our photographs page. Our classmate, Edward P. Bass ’67, ’72 Arch, has endowed the Edward P. Bass Deanship of The Yale School of Architecture. The endowment is a group gift spearheaded by his wife, Sasha C.

The 3 amigos gathered at Mike Leahy’s house on May 20. Doug and Liza McClelland had just attended their grandson Jack’s Yale graduation, picked up Warren and Patty Gelman at LaGuardia Airport, and drove to Mike and Sarah Leahy’s new home in Hampton Bays, on Long Island. Graduation day and Class Day at Yale saw beautiful weather. Doug’s grandson Jack majored in applied math and will work for Citibank in NYC in their Mergers and Acquisitions Dept. As soon as he can, he will return to beautiful Montana and his beloved fly fishing. Jack’s sister, Claire, enters her junior year at Yale, majoring in pre-med. Doug and Liza plan to attend Claire’s graduation in 2027, which should dovetail with the Class of 1967’s 60th Reunion. Hint: mark your calendars for New Haven in late May / early June, 2027. More details when we have them. Ahead for the 3 amigos? More fishing trips to the Rockies, Argentina, or Chile, for Doug and Mike? More rounds of golf at some of American’s most beautiful courses around the country, for Warren and Mike? Stay tuned! See a larger version of this photo on Classmate Travels and Other Photos
