The Academy for Lifelong Learning CBMM (ALL) held its Winter Social and Annual Meeting on January 7th at The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. A large congenial group gathered to enjoy wine and cheese, see old friends and make new ones, and learn about the upcoming semester. Among other items on the agenda, President, Ron Lesher announced ALL’s recent donation of $5,000 to the Annual Fund of The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. The following officers were nominated and elected for another year’s service: Ron Lesher, President, Bob Lippson, Vice President, John Ford, Secretary and Brice Gamber Treasurer. In addition
Bob Lonergan and Ed Delaney were nominated, and welcomed enthusiastically, to fill two open seats on the Executive Committee.

Bob practiced law with a Wall street law firm in New York, and subsequently was general counsel for 23 years for several large companies, including Kennecott Copper and Rohm and Haas. During that time, he has lectured on legal subjects, such as mergers and acquisitions, at major law schools, and was an adjunct professor of ethics at the University of Utah. Bob currently serves on the boards of the Atlantic Legal Foundation and the Academy Art Museum. He and his wife, Marsha, make their home in retirement in Oxford.
