Being admitted to Georgetown Law was a very big deal for a poor kid from a small-town with a funny name (Pompton Plains) whose parents never went to college. The breakup of AT&T's phone monopoly, the invention of cellular mobile telephone, and GULC all helped launch me into a long and fascinating career as a telecommunications attorney in Washington, DC. I retired from private practice as Chair of Venable law firm's Telecom Group, then was proud to serve for five years as Chief Communications and Cybersecurity Attorney for the U.S. Coast Guard at DC HQ, where I led the U.S. Delegation to the International Mobile Satellite Organization's annual maritime safety conventions. But easily my luckiest day was when I met my wife Judy, and my proudest accomplishments are our children, Jack, Jeffrey and Julianne. Being in the DC area since graduation has made it easy to keep in touch with many terrific GULC friends; they are all accomplished members of the Great Class of 1984! Looking forward to seeing everyone at our reunion. Your friend, Rick Joyce

So, it's been forty years since we graduated from GULC! In 1986, I married Vanessa Negron (L'86), who I met at the law school, and we moved to Tampa in 1986. We have two wonderful boys, Estevan (C'16) and Gabe (C'18) both now grown and living and working in NYC. After working for other people for a few years, we started our own firm, Cohn & Cohn, P.A. which had a great run for 18 years with Vanessa handling the transactional side and me the litigation. Our boys grew up running round our offices. In 2005, we joined Arnstein & Lehr (now Saul Ewing) until 2015 when I joined Burr Forman as a partner and Vanessa retired from the practice of law to focus on her own business. I am still a huge music fan and love to go to shows and festivals, having just returned from Jazz Fest in New Orleans.
