Beyond the Yearbook
Beyond the Yearbook
We shared a school. Now let’s share what came next.
Our Class of ’71 has followed many different paths over the years. This is a place to share the books we’ve written, businesses we’ve built, art and crafts we create, hobbies we enjoy, and interests that keep us busy and curious.
Take a look—you may discover something you never knew about an old classmate or find someone who shares an interest with you.
Different paths. Shared interests. Still connected.
Classmate Spotlights are listed in alphabetical order.

Scott's interests have taken him in several different directions—from exploring the challenges of artificial intelligence to writing fiction, creating art, and woodworking.
AI Governance & Research
Scott's recently published book, Interpretive Debt and Authority Drift: The Human Side of AI Governance, explores the human side of governing artificial intelligence.

Away from research and writing, Scott creates art and woodworking pieces. His website showcases another side of his creativity.

My Big Fat United Planet
Five books. One Earth. One human family.
Debbie is writing a five-book series centered on one big question:
Can humanity learn to work together well enough to save our beautiful, fragile Earth?
Her books explore climate change, peace, world cooperation, human consciousness, democracy, technology, artificial intelligence, justice, and the human qualities of compassion, courage, curiosity and hope.
Her first book, My Big Fat United Planet: My Travels Around It and Creating a World Federation to Save It, combines stories from her travels around the world with her views on international cooperation and law.
Debbie says her goal is to make these enormous subjects understandable to ordinary people—and to imagine a future in which we see ourselves as one human family sharing one Earth.
The book has received endorsements from Bill Moyers, Andrew Bacevich, Noam Chomsky and others. Four additional books are in progress.

Books are $20 each.

Five books. One Earth. One human family. And, I hope, a better story for our future.
