Long-time Friends

Speaking of hardly aging, when I as in Ann Arbor to give the Cup talk in early December, we caught up with Frank and Judy Wilhelme for a late dinner at Gratzi and then some after-dinner drinks and pool across Main Street at Andy Gulvezan's Monkey Bar (formerly the Full Moon -- don't ask.).

Judy is still a senior librarian at the U of M, and Frank the very successful development director for the Business School. Back in the late 60's (!), Frank was Leslie's and my high school history teacher. Aside from losing the Fu Manchu mustache of the era, he's still the same Mr Wilhelme who stirred things up so nicely in Dexter with the advent of his controversial Symposium Club, and he's still lacing 'em up and playing once or twice a week with many of our, by now, older hockey-playing buddies.

Tom Sr., Judy and Frank Wilhelme on a cold winter's Friday evening, just "shootin' some pool" at the Monkey Bar which, rumours to the contrary, they do not often frequent.
