Flinn Scholars
Meanwhile, back at The Farm
We don’t want to imply that other classes of Scholars are slacking, but there’s no denying: That Class of 1997 has it going on. While Jason Baer (’87) was asking in forlorn tones what happened to the mega-reunions of Scholars that he remembered from Holidays Past, Kimberlly Chhor (’97) was plunging ahead, hatching a Facebook-powered […]Cheese
Sarah Trainor (’07) has a new site to drum up requests for her digital single-lens reflex expertise. Getting hitched? Riding an escalator? Trying on sunglasses? Whatever it is, looks like Sarah’s your ticket to photographically preserve the moment.“It’s a good gig, kid.”
Monti’s La Casa Vieja in Tempe is perhaps best known as Arizona’s best replica of the actual, original Labyrinth from Greek mythology (you know, with the irritated minotaur, a piece of string, etc…). Despite the twisting corridors, it’s also a pretty good place to have dinner, especially if you’re hanging out with some of the […]What do you want to do today?
Our four-week Thanksgiving holiday is over at last, and there’s a whole bunch to catch up on. For starters, here’s the report that came in a little while ago from Niki Hale Price (’88), who writes for/owns the Oregon Coast Today. If you can help it, don’t drool over this daily life: Let’s see. The […]Pulitzer-winning writer Anna Quindlen visits with Flinn Scholars

Mary Fan (’97), following law school and an MPhil courtesy of the Gates Cambridge people, is working for a year as an Associate Legal Officer for Judge O-Gon Kwon in the Hague. Judge Kwon is presiding over the “Srebrenica Seven” trial, which involves seven Bosnian Serbs alleged to be responsible for genocidal atrocities committed in […]Decisions, Decisions
Back in the day, a Dane was having trouble making up his mind. And one thing led to another, and then everybody except Horatio and a rambunctious Norwegian ended up cold and sprawled out on the stage. If our Dane only knew Sean Warnick (’87), maybe all that mousetrap play-within-a-play business could have been avoided. […]Six degrees of Tony Romo, vol. 2
We swear we’re not going to talk about football forever. In some ways, we think, Don DeLillo had it right. But still, this is fun: Nick T. Spark (’88 ) is producing a new documentary, “Pancho Barnes!“, which features Chuck Yeager, playing himself, unlike in “The Right Stuff,” where he had a bit part opposite […]Six degrees of Tony Romo
It’s the start of a new dorm-room craze. Can anybody beat this? Kevin Bacon was in “Mystic River” with Marcia Gay Harden, who was in “American Dreamz” with Mandy Moore, who danced around on a Seattle stage during a concert noted by Ticket editor Raina Wagner (’91) of the Seattle Times, which was the employer […]For information about Flinn Scholars, please contact:
