Law <strong>School</strong> in the fall. The class of 1998 hoisted<br />
high the Alumni Basketball League Championship<br />
trophy. The team consisted of Luke Amentas,<br />
Kenny Cunningham, Brian Foley, Geoff Clyne,<br />

into the “lost alumni” category; if anyone has<br />
contact information for him, please pass it along<br />
to the alumni office. Mike Zanetti has completed<br />
a one year tour in Iraq with the Field Artillery and is<br />
currently stationed in Germany. He sends along the<br />
following news: After I graduated from the Virginia<br />
Military Institute, I went off to Fort Sill, Oklahoma<br />
for further training as a Field Artillery Officer. My<br />
first assignment landed me in Bamberg, Germany<br />
in July 2003. While it was my third time living in<br />
Europe (I studied for a bit at L’Ecole Polytechnique<br />
outside Paris and at St. Anne’s College in Oxford)<br />
traveling never gets boring. However, my fun was<br />
cut short with a year-long deployment to Iraq<br />
with 1/33 Field Artillery, part of the 1st Infantry<br />
Division. I was based just north of Tikrit, in a<br />
key oil-production city of Bayji. During my year<br />
there I commanded over 300 combat patrols,<br />
was involved in countless actions with insurgents<br />
ranging from small arms firefights to being<br />
blown up by Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs),<br />
Rocket Propelled Grenades (RPGs) and suicide car<br />
bombers. My men and I were credited with saving<br />
the lives of numerous American soldiers who were<br />
wounded under fire and we directly engaged and<br />
eliminated a sizeable number of Anti-Iraqi Forces<br />
(AIF). I have been awarded the Bronze Star for my<br />
actions and will be receiving the Combat Action<br />
Badge (CAB) later this summer when the design<br />
is finalized. I returned to Germany in February of<br />
this year, will be stationed here until at least July<br />
2006 pending further deployments. If anyone is in<br />
Europe in the near future, feel free to contact me.<br />

and ran for Class Senator of the Fairfield University<br />
