 Skanelaw and a group of ~20 players (and families) get together for a reunion game each Sept (Sat after  Labor Day). The Ultimate skills have deteriorated but the camaraderie and stories haven't.

	Apropos to this discussion: one good way to validate the existence of CC or SEAS students who were here during most of the 20th century is to run a search in the directory of the Alumni E-Community (see https://alumni.college.columbia.edu/ecom/ ) for those who are eligible to do so. There was no David Meyers listed there when I checked. So I ran a google search for "david buddha meyers" and found this discussion: http://www.ultimatehistory.com/founders/Pg/buddha.html . The name referenced is "David L. Meyer". Searching on the e-community again, I did find a David Meyer, CC'77.
