Hi classmates. I'm Stan Sesser. After a mere 62 years, I thought it was time to start contributing to our website. Today my Thai husband Yai (now an American) and I celebrated our 23rd anniversary living together. We met in Bangkok where I was a reporter for the Wall Street Journal and Yai taught philosophy at Ramkhamheng, Thailand's largest public university. We now live in New York City, just a few blocks from my home when I was collecting degrees from Columbia to stay out of Vietnam. I'm curious whether I'm the only openly gay member of our class.

Yai and I just celebrated our fifth anniversary. We lived together for 22 years, back in the days when gay relationships weren’t talked about, and gay marriages were forbidden. Am I the only openly gay member of our class?
Sending warm wishes for a Happy, Healthy, safe Birthday, Stan. Best Regards, Judy
Happy birthday, Harry! What's going on with you and Sunny? I haven't heard from you in a long time. Email me at Stan.sesser@gmail.com
Hi Stan. Remember the old gang on Daleford?
There were so many of us. Sounds like you’ve been busy with your career. I missed you in NY. I lived in CT for 15 years and commuted to the big appplefor 10 of them. 1989-2004.
Nice to reconnect. Have a really happy birthday.

Michael Ratner, a fierce fighter for the underprivileged, really made a difference in this world. As one of his admirers put it, "He sued some of the most powerful people in the world on behalf of the least powerful." His voice was always there when people were deprived of their rights. I regret so much that I never met him in high school and first connected with him only a year ago on this website. To my great surprise, he knew all about me and had even read my book on Southeast Asia. He was a star, a graduate who should make all of the alumni of Shaker Heights High School proud.

On Dec. 31, I married my longtime partner, Prasong Kittinanthachai, in a ceremony at the US Courthouse in Manhattan conducted by Judge Ron Ellis. In the photo on the right is my daughter Sasha, who graduated from Yale two years ago and now works at a civil rights law firm in Manhattan. A first marriage at age 72 obviously sets a Class of '61 record, if not an all-time Shaker Heights High School record!
After 70-odd years, you still haven't lost your sense of humor!
