I want to know his name too. MHGinTN or bp2 might recall. I am almost positive it was the first time I posted that photo. What thread it was in, I have no clue.

From: http://www.wikicu.com/Barack_Obama Phil Boerner (CC '84) was Barack Obama's roommate during the Fall of 1981.
Both students transferred to Columbia from Occidental College, and lived together in a third-story walkup on 109th St. between Amsterdam Avenue and Columbus. They also hung out at Tom's, the West End, and in New York's bookstores and museums. After their first semester at Columbia, Obama was only able to find another apartment with room for one. He continued to hang out with Boerner, watching and talking sports, until 1985, after which time they exchanged letters. Boerner now lives in California, where he is communications director for a veterinary association. |
