Recently I had a Brown reunion of a different sort. I work at Middlebury College in Vermont, where we celebrated the dedication of a magnificent new library on a pictureperfect New England fall day. The dedication speaker was none other than former Brown president Vartan Gregorian. I have always had strong feelings toward President Gregorian, not only because he arrived at Brown alongside my freshman class, but also because of his signature mix of fierce intellect and warm humanity. His speech at Middlebury brought all those feelings back to the surface again. He spoke eloquently about the value of libraries, the nobility of providing a home for words and thoughts, and delivered it all with a terrific sense of humor. The audience was won over by this thoughtful, honorable, and warmhearted man. It made me feel proud to be a Brown alum. I caught up with President Gregorian after his speech and he greeted me with his trademark bear hug.”

Scott Norris writes: “Greetings from Iraq! I am working for the Coalition Provisional Authority in Baghdad, in the Governance Office of the Governorate. My Army Reserve civil affairs unit got activated last year and here we are for a year (or more, but hopefully less). Because I teach government classes to high school kids as a civilian, the Army decided I was qualified to teach democratic government to the Iraqis. I currently work with the three advisory councils in the Governorate of Baghdad. It is amazing what has been accomplished here since July, and it is truly a testament to the efforts of the Iraqi people. We, the Iraqis, the soldiers, and the State Department, are all working hard to meet the midyear deadlines and elect a mayor and a governor. Some of it is pretty cool—I met the heir to the Iraqi throne and helped create the criteria for determining the mayor—and some of it is pretty wild—roadside bombs and ‘celebratory’ gunfire—but it is a great experience. If any alumni are here in the ‘palace,’ look me up!” Scott can be reached at CPT Scott A.
