Dave Thomas, ’76, has published his fourth book of poetry since his retirement from Constellation Brands in Rochester, New York, after a 40-year career in finance.
Thomas’s latest collection, “Views from Devereux Hall,” is a time machine of poems about his four years of undergraduate studies at St. Bona-venture that he wrote and compiled for his 50th class reunion this June.
The book hits all aspects of college life in the 1970s: basketball rivalries, Merton’s Heart, dining hall slop line, drinking Schaefer beer in the Skeller, concerts and coffeehouses.
Tom Donahue, ’76, wrote the foreword, calling these poems “bite-sized nuggets of nostalgia,” hitting all the threads that bound St. Bonaventure students together “with a mix of wit, charm and humor.”
