Over the course of almost five years, he and many other experts (many Lehigh alums included) documented the entirety of things needed to be donewhen someone passes away. As we all face this with our parents, we realize howconfusing this can be and that there are no structured resources to help. Fromthis, they created the International DeceasedResolution Standards with almost 1,000 things identified and documented, alongwith 100 questions to help determinewhich are applicable. Themagnitude of this project is really incredible; download it fromthe app store or here: heirlist.com/.

After having to cancel both the 2020 and 2021 reunions due to COVID-19 … apparently 32 is the new 30th anniversary of our graduation. The upside is all three reunion cycles will be attending, so you will see not just the 1990Class but 1991 and 1992 as well. In total 42 classes will be invited to celebrate theirmilestones. Now that’s a party on SouthMountain! Lehigh is organizing cluster reunion dinners, so ’90, ’91 and ’92 will gather together at one large celebration. This is a historic opportunity to see people that youmay not have connected with in years (or at least since the Lehigh-Lafayette game in Yankee Stadium). Registration opensMarch 14, and for more information check out wordpress.lehigh.edu/ lehighreunion/. ’91 Diana Zoller Perkins, diana zoller@gmail.com Hooray for Lehigh football games!
