Ed Mannino C’63 L’66 writes, “In July, Lexington Books published my second peer-reviewed book on the US Supreme Court. Reinterpreting the Constitution: How the Supreme Court Changes the Law details how the Supreme Court, over time, has changed constitutional law not simply by overruling past cases but in many different, subtle ways. The book reviews more than 200 Supreme Court decisions starting with the early 19th century but focuses mainly on the many different changes made by the Roberts Court in the 21st century. Hunter Clark, an early reviewer [and professor at Drake University Law School], called the book ‘new and important,’ and ‘of immense value’ to legal scholars, practitioners, journalists, and political scientists.”

Steve Fisher EE’64 writes, “I’ve completed the final action novel in my Carswell trilogy.

Fisher Ar1898 Hon’25 (who served as curator of the Penn Museum’s Egyptian section). In the first novel, I spot an incredible treasure. In the second novel, The Carswell Mandate, the fictional Penn Expedition excavates the object.

1966

Geoffrey Evans Moore CGS’66 has coauthored a new book with the financier and philanthropist Michael Milken WG’70.

Reviews of Faster Cures have praised it as a must-read book. The New York Times bestselling author Dr. Dean Ornish called it ‘extraordinary and inspiring.’ Dr. Deepak Chopra said, ‘It should encourage everyone to find their higher purpose.’ Nobel laureate James Allison said, ‘I loved this book!’” Geoffrey and his wife live in La Jolla, California, where he is working on his next book, a personal finance guide.


1970

Albert R. De Salvo GCP’70 writes, “I retired after serving nine years as chair of the Albany, New York, Planning Board. Board membership is volunteer based. I was appointed by Albany’s mayor in 2014. During my tenure, we developed a new Unified Sustainable Development Ordinance that incorporated design guidelines, form-based zoning, complete streets, and density development near high employment centers. During these nine years, over $1 billion was invested in new and rehabilitated properties. I remain active on three other boards. The Catskill Water Discovery Center is an organization that advocates for clean water by using the reservoir system that provides New York City with its water to teach conservation, ecological sustainability, and the importance of pure water worldwide. I am also on the boards of Albany Pro Musica and Capital Repertory Theatre and on the finance committee of Habitat for Humanity Capital District. My two years as a master’s degree candidate in Penn’s planning department afforded me the opportunity to put into practice the many skills I learned in classes and studio workshops.”

Thomas Madden ASC’70 is founder of the public relations firm TransMedia. He is also an author of five books and publisher of several others, including most recently Transforming Lives: A Refugee’s Counteroffensive Against Life’s Challenges by Karina Safarova, a Ukrainian refugee and life coach.

For the last 25 years, I have been privileged to support the marketing efforts for the AARP Medicare Supplement plans. Working with AARP on the program, I’m very proud to have contributed to this worthwhile organization supporting so many initiatives and programs for the senior population. With our two grown sons successfully on their way, I’m now looking forward to an active retirement with my husband of 33 years and anticipating many new adventures ahead.”

William D. Volk C’79 writes, “This December will mark my 44th year in the video game industry. I’ve held positions at Activision (vice president of technology, 1988–1994), Avalon Hill, and others. I’m best known for The Return to Zork (1993), and for coming up with the game concept for iWhack (2007), the first released iPhone game. More recently I created TheClimateTrail.com, which gave me my 15 minutes of fame on the Weather Channel, and last year directed Shiba Eternity, a mobile collectable card game. This all started my senior year at Penn when a fellow resident of the Ware College House asked if this physics/astronomy major wanted to take a class in micro-computers at the Moore School, where I wrote a lunar lander game as a class project. Well, in honor of that and to show off my latest creation, I’ve created a University of Pennsylvania trivia puzzle on AnagramQuest.com, a mobile game released this year, that marries anagrams to trivia questions. You can find it in the ‘Free Samples’ category on the app. Enjoy!”

On a search to get answers to all things Costco, as of March 2023, these superfans have visited over 200 of Costco’s 850 warehouses in 46 US states and 13 countries. … They hope to share with the over 3.2 million people who enter one of Costco’s warehouses every day the answers to some pressing questions, such as how does Costco keep the price of its foot-long hot dog at $1.50?”

1982

Dick Knapp GCP’82 writes, “I spent 35 years developing, renovating, and owning 30,000 multifamily apartments units, both market-rate and government-assisted, in Washington, DC, and its suburbs of Arlington, Alexandria, Falls Church, Fairfax, Silver Spring, and Bethesda. I left private practice in 2018 to start Indelible Housing, a nonprofit engaged in the acquisition, renovation, and preservation of distressed Project-Based Section 8 Housing that now has a portfolio worth $75 million. I’ve been active the last 20 years in renovating and re-tenanting—with restaurants, boutiques, and loft apartments—underutilized buildings in the downtown central business district of my undergraduate alma mater, Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa. I recently made a lead gift to the college for the Knapp Film and Media Center, Grinnell College’s first academic department to be located downtown.”

Jack Wiener L’82 writes, “In addition to my day job as an international securities attorney and adjunct law professor at Brooklyn Law School, I’ve represented fencers pro bono of late.

Also, in a full-page article on July 8, the New York Times covered my representation of three Russian Olympic fencers who have defected to the US and denounced Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.”

My first novel in the Pathologist Chronicles series, Cancer Under the Carpet, was published in October and is available on Amazon in print and ebook, and as an audiobook on Audible and iTunes. It was so much fun to narrate it myself! The second book, Misplaced Scrutiny, is almost completed. I draw my inspiration from life experiences both within and outside the world of medicine. I am sprinkling my memoirs throughout my medical thriller novels, and the kids and grandkids will have to figure out what is fiction and what is fact!”

The audio segment is worth a listen and can be found by searching ‘Meet the Glass Half-Full Girl’ at npr.org. The segment was also expanded into a podcast on NPR’s “Short Wave” feed. The Leeb women aren’t the only ones in the family getting recognition as my husband of 18 years, Seth, was named Architect of the Year by the New Jersey chapter of the American Institute of Architects. After a nearly two-decade career in college admissions, specializing in international applicants and college counseling, I left professional employment and have spent considerable time over the last decade and a half involved in the special-needs community, particularly supporting other parents. In 2022, I graduated from New Jersey Partners in Policymaking, an eight-month training program for disability advocates. At the grassroots level, Mora, Seth, and I host two new Rutgers Medical third-years for dinner each month as part of their required pediatric disabilities seminar. But perhaps the most exciting recent development is my elevation to great aunt, made possible in 2022 by the birth of a grandchild to each of my brothers and their wives, Bob Kruger L’82 and Sue Laiken Kruger C’79 L’83, and Phil Kruger C’77 and Judy Levenstein W’79 L’84.

Keith Wasserstrom W’89 L’92 writes, “After serving as president of the Undergraduate Assembly and captain of the cheerleaders at Penn, I went on to practice law at some of the largest and most prestigious international law firms. I became a city commissioner in Hollywood, Florida, and was among the very first to receive Orthodox Rabbinical Ordination (semicha) online in 2004. Then, through some tragic miscarriage of justice, I lost my law license (and my civil rights) for almost two decades. During that time, I founded Warranty of America, an extended warranty company that provides unlimited coverage for just $9.95 per month. I also founded A/C Innovations which replaced disposable air conditioner filters with a water filtration system to replace the billion used filters that are contributed to landfills every year. I worked at a family office, a family accounting firm, supervised the kosher food stand at Miami Heat games, and started the Alliance of Blacks & Jews, which is part of the world’s largest conservation forest in Africa, comprising over 25 million hectares over five countries and a $4.5 billion green hydrogen plant. The revenue from these projects will provide schools, hospitals, electricity, and clean water to around 500 million Africans. More recently, I started a new social media platform that pays the members the lion’s share of what we make selling the members’ data to brands, marketers, and advertisers. You can sign up for the waitlist at EarnKee.vip. I also wrote a book on growing a business and I am an executive and business coach. Also, I am proud to share that my eldest son, Jonah, just qualified for the US Amateur Golf Championship in Colorado, and my daughter just gave birth to a baby boy, my fourth grandchild.”

Rev. Ashley Coulter Brown C’03 writes, “After attending my 20th Reunion this year, I realize how important it is to keep my alma mater aware of my progress and all that Penn equipped me to do. During my time at Penn, I worked closely with then university chaplain William Gipson who truly supported me in my decision to answer a calling to ministry. I chose to be at the forefront of the COVID-19 crisis, running towards those dying of COVID who were requesting chaplaincy services, rather than running away from them. I realized that otherwise most of them would have died alone. In the end, I received an award from the state of Rhode Island for my work in the city’s equivalent of the Superdome that housed the most critical COVID cases. Now, as a hospice chaplain, I have continued providing spiritual accompaniment for many a solitary dying patient of all faiths.”
