>Author Greg Buchner is one of the clowns I took to St Thomas with me just
>before law school, also in this group is my Fat Italian friend Rem, who
>played Rugby on the Islands whilst we were there (by that time, I had
>turned into a softball playing pussy). The Galiani's on the list took over
>the Gold's Gym franchise a few years ago.
>I'm thinking you must have run into some of these guys over the years; I
>did not know the honoree, Justin, he's too young.
>Chris Andres played for the Eagles at some point.
>Weigh in.
