I truly regret not being able to attend the reunion. Even though, I praise all of you who put this together and all of my high school friends and colleagues who will be there. I will be there in spirit.








Here is a brief update on the Stavis Family.
In 1995 I married my wonderful wife, Nafsika (her name is of a Greek mythological princess) and we were blessed with my daughter, Dominique, in 1998. Nafsika is a certified ultra-sound technician at Albany Medical Ctr. Hospital and Dominique is a 7th grade high honor student (having skip one grade already), and plays both basketball and soccer. She loves to watch Tom Brady of the Patriots and is wearing his jersey in the photo. We have a very large Greek family here in Albany and are very happy to live here.

My legal career has been very eclectic. I have been the general counsel or deputy counsel for four NYS agencies over the last 27 years, having most recently been the "house counsel" for the NYS Department of Health. I have also been a professor of law at George Mason Law School and currently an adjunct professor at Albany Law School. The pictures show my appearance on ABC's "Nightline" TV show for my work and publications in law and psychiatry. I have recently left the state for private practice and to publish more, including working on a book on the health crisis in our state and society in general.

Lastly, it was our intent to come to the reunion and, indeed, we started making plans to do so. However, with regret, we are unable to attend. We hope you all have a great time and send our best regards to you all.
