And, of course, I have great family support. I couldn’t do it without my spouse, Karen Kaufman, and my kids, Matt and Abby.” Bonnevie also spoke about a defining moment in law school: “In Contracts class first year, [we studied a case where] a judge mentioned the plaintiff’s race in a decision [that had nothing to do with race]. That’s something most of us skipped over when reading the case. But Professor David Hall spoke eloquently about how the person’s race had no bearing on the outcome, yet the judge felt compelled to mention it.” She joined the law firm Wilson, Marino & Bonnevie in 1996.

Bob Sansone, BA’94, of Stoneham, Massachusetts, is trying to counter a nearly fifty-year-old instance of intolerance by having a section of Route 28 (Main Street) in Reading named Tolerance Road. In the 1960s, basketball great Bill Russell lived in Reading while playing for the Boston Celtics. Russell’s home was broken into and his property damaged, and a small number of townspeople petitioned against his residency. Sansone conceived the idea for renaming the road while on vacation in Florida last year. As his two young daughters were swimming in a hotel pool, they were joined by about seventy-five members of an African American family reunion. One of his daughters said she was uncomfortable being a minority for the first time in her life and wanted to leave the pool. Sansone persuaded her to stay; she ended up playing and not wanting to leave. “I knew at the time this was something special,” he remembers. “I knew this is a lesson she will never learn in Stoneham firsthand. The footsteps left behind that day were beautiful ones of black and white.” Sansone met Russell at a Red Sox function in May 2006 and was thanked for his efforts.
