Brent Reinhardt
enjoys living in
Bozeman, Mont., with his wife, tanya, a Montana
state University alumna who works for the col-
lege of agriculture. Brent works at the University
for the army r Otc program.
Bob Rich
lives in Buffal with his wife, Karin,
daughter Jenna, 15, and son eric. 10, and hopes
that both of his kids will consider st. Lawrence
when looking at colleges. eric is following in his
father’s musical footsteps by playing drums. “it
would be cool to see him end up at st. Lawrence
playing on the same stages i played with story
Lloyd,”Bob writes.
Bob is president of r Oar Logistics, a company he
started in 2003 that has grown to include 47 em-
ployees and offices in Buffal , atlanta, peoria, ill.,
and soon Los angeles. He also has a music career,
performing with two groups, t he pillagers and
Dick whiskey. His own band, t his is now, has re-
corded several albums, including his latest, Hear
and now, available on itunes.
“
i often think back on the years at st. Lawrence
and all of the amazing musicians that i met there
as well as the time that my band, story Lloyd,
opened for the r amones at Madill Hall,” Bob
says. “i still have a cassette tape of that gig. i am
looking forward to coming back for our 25th r e-
union and hopefully another jam session at the
Hoot Owl.”
Bob keeps in touchwith
Sandy Luick
and adrian
Jones ’90, who lives in illinois, and recently ran
into the Hackett brothers (Jason ’92, ian ’93 and
austin ’98) in scottsdale, ariz. For the last five
years he and
Peter Forelli
have taken an annual
fishin trip to the Florida Keys.
My last column included
Dick Ziegler’
s ques-
tion to our classmates: “what 10 words summa-
rize your st. Lawrence experience?” i promised to
include my response in this column but found it
difficu to do that in so few nouns and adjectives.
t his is what i came upwith: engaging, friends, fun,
memorable, international, Laurentian singers,
cold, challenging, eye-opening and life-changing.
i hope you’ll take up Dick’s challenge and send
me your own unique list. Meanwhile, i hope you
are all enjoying a healthy and happy 2013.
