How

Trinity is transforming learning

BY ANDREW WALSH

'79

T ISN'T HARD FOR BORDEN PAINTER '58 to recall the pivotal point in his undergraduate career when he became a " twice-born academic." One morning in his junior year, he and a fri end sat in the periodical reading room of the library, smoking cigars and finishing up homework. "Professor George Cooper, whose course in English history I was taking, stopped by to chat," Painter said. " He told me, as only he could do , that I probably didn't work very hard and glided along getting decent grades, that I wasn't very serious about what I was doing. " I tried to mumble something as I took another puff on my cigar," h e said. "Then Cooper suggested some reading I should do to broaden the limited range of my thinking." Borden Painter chose this story to introduce himself at the April convocation marking his installation as interim president. "This may strike you as a trivial event," h e told students. "But in fact it changed me. I began to do strange and, for me, absolutely new behaviors. I read books that . were not assigned in class. I began to think about ideas and issues even after the exam." Painter's account of a challenge that transformed his life is a quintessential Trinity story. In case after case, alumni and students can recall the interventions ofTrinity faculty as decisive moments in their own development. What follows in this Reporter are reports that explore the ways in w hich students are learning at Trinity today, such as: the freshman seminar program, now entering its 25th year; peer and collaborative learning; and exciting academic initiatives that are renewing Trinity's reputation as one of the nation 's best and most innovative liberal arts colleges. These pieces illustrate the leading role Trinity has taken in a wave of educational innovation that stresses learning. "All the research literature now says we fo cus too much on teaching in American higher education and not enough on learning. Trinity concentrates on learning," said George Dehne, a consultant who works with Trinity and scores of other colleges and universities. Since 1823, Trinity College has adhered steadfastly to a / rigorous i~eal: providing challenging instruction in the lib- / eral arts through a personal and highly interactive dialogue. Much of American higher education has moved away from this ideal and towards massive institutional settings, preprofessional education, and the extreme specialization that results when teaching is subordinated to research. M any institutions are now trying to recapture virtues that Trinity has offered for generations. Researchers are urging that colleges and universities give students more choices in their educations and more chances to work collaboratively with faculty and other students-both areas in which Trinity excels. Summarizing two decades of national research on undergraduate education, Patrick T. Terenzini and Ernest T. Pascarella suggested in Change magazine that the most effective colleges and universities provide carefully structured

and cohesive envirollinents where formal study, residential life, and extracurricular activities support one another. Excellent colleges, they argue, provide structures that enable students to explore options and make the choices that will shape their lives and careers. Trinity has always known that students flourish when faculty involve them actively in the process of learning and teaching, both in the classroom and, perhaps especially, beyond it. Trinity is not resting on its laurels. It works hard to build on its strengths and to offer its

students more challenges and more opportunities to shape their own educations. In harmony with its commitment to the liberal arts tradition, Trinity emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches to learning and the integration of knowledge. It also seeks to tap the benefits of its city location, and has built up an impressive range of educational options to accommodate different styles and settings for learning so that its students can shape profoundly personal educations. At Trinity, the search for

a wider range of educational options and opportunities began in the 1960s. The Open Curriculum, adopted in 1969, provided virtually unfettered selection of courses. At the same time, the College began cultivating a large network of foreign and domestic study programs, ranging from the Twelve College Exchange, to Trinity's Rome campus and dozens of other approved exchange programs, to a comprehensive network of internships in Hartford corporate, nonprofit and governmental organizations.

(("Vlk focus too much on teaching in American higher education and not enough on learning. Trinity concentrates on learning. ))

A second wave of curricular reform produced the New Curriculum of 1988. The revised curriculum preserved the premise that students must make the choices that shape what and how they will learn. But, it established distribution requirements and emphasized interdisciplinary study that asks students to make connections among disciplines. The Class of 1994 is only the third to graduate under the new curriculum, but the new course of study has already placed Trinity in the forefront of a national movement. Trinity offers its students many effective ways to learn within a cohesive curricular structure, a structure that entices students to exercise their curiosity and to integrate their knowledge and experiences.

Interdisciplinary Study Interdisciplinary study is now the hallmark of a Trinity education. From the moment an entering student enrolls in a freshman seminar or the honors track interdisciplinary programs in science and European civilization, he or she is pushed to think across disciplinary boundaries. "Trinity simply offers its students a remarkable number of ways to learn," Dehne said. "There are few institutions which do as much interdisciplinary programming as Trinity does. Lots of places talk a good game, but Trinity delivers.

"It knows, for example, that to study political science you really need to understand history, economics, and sociology as well," Dehne said. "There's really no such thing as a pure discipline any more." To prepare students to make informed choices, the College now requires that they take at least one course in each of five subject areas: arts, humanities, natural sciences, numerical and symbolic reasoning, and social sciences. Studying broadly "makes you aware that learning is not subject specific," said Julia Strong '94, a theater/ dance and psychology major from Watertown, Conn. "Taking a religion class, a biology 'class, a math class makes you a much more knowledgeable person." Strong fulfilled the natural science requirement by taking "Biogeography" with Craig Schneider of the biology department. " It turned out to be this fascinating course about how humans affect world ecology by extinguishing certain species . I never would have taken that class if I had not been searching for something interesting to fulfill the distribution requirement." The most distinctive element ofTrinity's curriculum is its "integration of knowledge" requirement, which asks students to relate bodies of knowledge and methods of inquiry across several disciplinary boundaries. It can be met no

fewer than six ways. Most commonly, a student completes an interdisciplinary minor that draws together five or six related courses from three subject areas . Students may design their own interdisciplinary minor or select one of 32 existing ones, such as Technology and Culture, Medieval and Renaissance Studies, and Cognitive Science. An increasingly popular alternative is to complete a major offering an integrated study track, an option which brings interdisciplinary study within the bounds of a conventional departmental rna-

jor. Offered by English, political science, psychology and other departments, these integrated tracks require students to develop interdisciplinary clusters of five or six related courses drawn from at least three disciplines. Students may design their own integrated tracks, or, in some departments such as psychology, choose one of several possible tracks. Students can also meet the integration of knowledge requirement by completing an inte:r;disciplinary major, such as neuroscience, international studies, or American studies. "The

courses that will draw on the analytical and problemsolving techniques of mathematics and the natural sciences to illuminate a variety of philosophical fields.

value and pleasure of interdisciplinary study are that it is a process, not a product," said Jim Miller, chair of the American studies program. "It is in the conversation and debate among and across disciplines that knowledge is pushed forward." Interdisciplinary projects also are often the setting for dynamic student-faculty interactions that change careers. Jeannie Hoffinan '95, for example, broadened her career goal from practicing medicine to conducting medical research as a result of her collaboration with Priscilla Kehoe, director of

the neuroscience program. "Because I'm a good student, in the lab all the time, and enthusiastic about what I'm doing, Dr. Kehoe asked me to participate in a study of posttraumatic stress disorder. I'm doing things that only graduate students normally do," Hoffman said. Even within conventional departments, the push is on to emphasize connections with other disciplines. Philosopher Helen Lang, for example, used her term as the first St. Anthony Hall Professor to develop a "philosophy lab" for her courses in ancient and me-

dieval philosophy. Students in Lang's lab moved beyond the study of philosophical and scientific ideas to solve problems using the concepts and methods of pre-Copernican physics, astronomy and mathematics. Students often worked collaboratively to solve these lab problems, and many broke down inhibitions about dealing with mathematics and science. Lang said she was delighted when one student remarked that taking "the course without the laboratory would have been like learning grammar without ever speaking the language." The philosophy lab was a pilot project, and the philosophy department is developing labs for 11 other

A second major thrust in the search for new ways to learn takes place beyond the College gates: in international study programs, exchanges with other American colleges, and in specialized internships. About 40 percent of each graduating class has studied abroad. For some, it is a lifechanging experience. Amy Tatko '93 found her whole perspective on the world changed by a year's study in a Russian university in Siberia. "I created a wondrous new life for myself-a Russian life which is the foundation for my future and an eternal part of my life and true self," said Tatko, who is now working in St. Petersburg for an AmericanRussian cultural and academic exchange program. Closer to home, Trinity students use Hartford as a laboratory for learning and for service, making contact with a complex network of superb cultural institutions, national corporations, communities, and complex social problems. Students in the Hartford History Project are collaborating to produce important studies of the cultural, economic and social history of one of the nation's oldest communities . Another group has been recording oral histories of non-reading adults. Art historian Kathleen Curran asked students in her "Contemporary Architecture and Urbanism" course to analyze several city blocks near the campus. Charged with redesigning the neighborhood while preserving its

character, they collaborated to produce a plan specifying where to locate housing, what services to provide, how to route traffic , provide parking, and place lighting. The project plunged them into discussions with residents , city officials, planning experts, and others. Many use the College's network of more than 200 established internships in Greater Hartford to prepare for careers . Ling Kwok '94, a double major in economics and Asian studies, credits his internship with the Hartford office of Prudential Securities for the job offers he received from Goldman Sachs and Citicorp in New York. "These businesses were looking for students with some kind of experience, and my combination of economics classes plus the internship gave me an edge in a very competitive job market," Kwok says.

Shaping A Personal Education Alumni formed by the old Open Curriculum will be reassured to learn that Trinity still welcomes risktakers and those reluctant to accept prepackaged programs of study. Even with the new distribution and integration of knowledge requirements, Trinity offers students more options than ever before. By providing a structure for choices, Trinity ensures that students won't flounder through a series of disconnected courses.

Students work together in labs, su.,h as this one in biology.

Matei Paun '94, for example, found it easy to shape his own interdisciplinary major. "I am very independent in spirit, and I was very keen on taking the courses that I wanted to take," he said. With the help of his adviser, Paun dey ised a major in European Civilization that drew on history, philosophy, literature, and religion. "If there is something you want to do, Trinity will help you find a way." "At Trinity, a student's interests can be catered to and often will be," says history major Peter Friedman '94 ofRoslyn, N.Y. "There is the chance to learn in different ways, but it's not some kind of silly learning that lets you do whatever you want. There is flexibility in how you learn, but the standards aren't flexible: Whatever you do must b e done well." When things are working well, it sometimes seems as if students rise to mastery and find their deepest interests though a series of random connections.

"Trinity lets you try out new sides of yourself," said Lissa Smith '95, an American studies major. Encouraged by her roommates and by lacrosse coach Robin Sheppard, Smith discovered a passion for lacrosse as a freshman. "I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would come to college and play sports, but I did." When a knee injury ended her playing career, she shifted to writing about lacrosse for The Tripod. That led to an internship at The Hariford Courant, where Smith identified her career goal. "An editor there is the one who first said to me, 'Maybe you should try writing,"' she said. "I think I have found something that involves all my interestswriting, teaching, law. College can show you how to take what you know and make a life out of it." These were genuinely personal discoveries, but as Smith herself observed, she had these opportunities because Trinity set the stage. Just as George Cooper nudged Borden Painter,

members of the faculty today often encourage students to take up challenges . that will shape their lives. Julia Strong's plans changed when Gerry Moshell of the music department offered her a chance to choreograph the annual spring musical theater revue. That connection led to one of the most distinguished student careers in theater and dance in recent memory, as Strong choreographed a full-scale production of the musical "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown," followed by assignments as choreographer and director of"Godspell" and "Nunsense." She then won a College grant to produce a twonight run of her own dances on the main stage of the Goodwin Theater with 22 student performers and full technical support. "When I discovered this interest of mine in theater and dance , I wasn't forced to make a decision whether to drop psychology, and I didn't have to begin a new track in order to explore my interests. The flexible curriculum enabled me to incorporate everything into my education."

Freshman Seminars Still 路lively cifter 25 years BY ANDREW WALSH

'79

my Steven,, who has taught a Freshman Seminar at Trinity called "The Legal History ofRace Relations" since 1980, looked up one day while sitting as a member of Connecticut's Criminal Justice Commission. Before the panel that hires the state's prosecutors stood Anne Mahoney '84, a member of his first Seminar group. "I was so proud," said Stevens, a Fairfield attorney and adjunct member of the faculty. "I certainly didn't expect to see my freshman professor at a job interview, but I was sure happy," said Mahoney, who is now a deputy assistant state's attorney in Hartford. Few students, of course, find their Freshman Seminars so directly relevant. But the program, which will mark its 25th anniversary in September, plays a crucial role in a Trinity education. Since 1969, virtually every freshman has enrolled in one of these imaginative, interdisciplinary seminars . Planned to be engaging and often highly topical, the seminars draw students into the intellectual life of the College. They also provide many students with their first real inkling of the in tellectual challenges and re-

Kassow's "Modern European Intellectual History."

A Product of the 1960s wards Trinity provides. The goal of th e seminars, as stated in the 1969 Trinity College Bulletin, is to "show each freshman that he has ideas worth discussing, that he has peers who are worth listening to , and that he has teachers who understand what learning is." By and large, Trinity's pioneering seminars for freshmen have maintained their original shape. Enrolling 15 or fewer students, each meets weekly, usually for a three- hour session. Over time, seminar offerings have tracked most of the social, economic, political and intellectual challenges of the era. (See accompanying time line.) "It's been the liveliest, most responsive part of the curriculum," said Richard Lee, a philosophy professor who proudly says he and the late John Dando of the English department invented the program. Most seminars, like Lee's "Life and Death in the Nuclear Age," which was offered in the early and middle 1980s, have relatively brief runs. But, some appear almost annually, includingJay West's "Communism and Fascism: An Exploration in Comparative History," Clyde McKee's "Politics and Oral Commu-

Along .with these strong continuities, there have been significant changes in the program. The first seminars reflected the free-flowing experimentalism of the 1960s-often in ways that would panic most faculty today. Faculty walked into. their classrooms in September without a topic or course plan. The students in each seminar, the Bulletin announced, would determine the material for each seminar "in consultation with the instructor." "At the time, I am pretty sure that seemed reasonable. The idea was that everyone was supposed to start on the same level," said Frank Kirkpatrick '64, professor of religion. Faculty also were encouraged to offer seminars outside their area of academic expertise. "The idea was to give students a chance to see the instructor working with new material, to see the instructor struggle, too," said Lee. The Freshman Seminar Program grew out of a pilot honors program developed in 1967 by Lee and Dando. "Students liked the seminar format a lot. They were more informal, they covered things not found in other courses, and they were contemporary," Lee said.

A seminar etched in memory

In 1969 , Trinity expanded the program an d made it available to all fres hmen, hinting strongly that it exp ected all of them to enroll. By the early 1970s, it had settled into a

After I was assigned to write a piece on freshman seminars, my thoughts turnedutterly unsurprisingly- to the fall of 1975 and my own freshman seminar, Modern European Intellectual History with Sam Kassow. BY A NDREW W ALSH

'79

To my surprise, because I had never thought of it quite this way before, I realized that the experience occupies a large niche in my memory. Evenings spent around a seminar table in McCook snapped back into focus . I can't do this for any other class I took at Trinity, but I can name everyone in that seminar. After the first awe- inspiring sessions Mike Preston, Jack Kassell, and I returned to Jarvis Hall to carry on the evening's discussion in our own tentative way. Also rising from the mists of memory are Anne Warner's objectionable remarks about Dostoevski. In that seminar "great" authors became real people. Distant revolutions and passionate intellectual debates suddenly mattered. I had entered Trinity knowing that I loved history and thinking that I had been wellschooled. But at Walt Whitman High School history was synonymous with Marian von Doenhoff, a woman whose historical imagination was captured by sub- clauses in the Treaty of Utrecht. Listening to Sam Kassow talk about European history was like hearing a Beethoven symphony for the first time. He was a bold, passionate thinker and talker. We waited eagerly for his spectacular "two minute versions" on the legacy of the French Revolution, Marx's evolving views on history, or anything else that required explanation. By the end of the semester, we felt that we'd lived Modern European Intellectual History, not merely studied it.

Many Seminar student... now live together in designated d orms, so tbe class discussion <:ontinues 路 the dorm.

The seminar was, in fact, intimidating. But Sam treated us as persons whose views mattered. It was serious in the best sense of the word, the most intellectually broadening experience I've ever had. I read Dostoevski for the first time. And Freud. And Thomas Mann. We poured ourselves into reading and

writing. Discussion broke out at lunchtim e or while listening to records. I probably would have majored in history anyway, but after studying with Sam Kassow I began to think about becoming an historian myself. Last fall, after a long march through graduate school , I returned to campus as a visiting lecturer in religion and American studies . As I opened my office door for the first time, I glanced to the right and discovered that Sam was my neighbor. In Sam's freshman seminar I also made friendships that still mean a lot to me. Mike Preston later asked me to be his best man. Mike Tinati has written me the most philosophical letters I've ever received. Jack Kassell, Mona Daleo, Helen Morrison, and I took a trip with Sam to the then Soviet Union the following spring- my first independent experience of travel. Through Sam I also met many impressive upperclassmen. There was, it turned out, a network of Kassow veterans. He introduced us to the College View Tavern on Zion Street. (In those days, you received all of the privileges on your 18th birthday.) A hole in the wall that served sour beer, "Zips" was then the most interesting place around, a bar where lively conversations stretched over the course of long evenings. On a good night, Rick Hornung '77 wouldn't inflict his poetry on those gathered there. Sam also introduced us to his friends in the history department: to Gene Leach, Jack Chatfield, and Michael Lestz, who also became friends and mentors. Lestz took us to his favorite Chinese restaurant in the wilds of New Britain. A product of not-so- cosmopolitan Bethesda, Maryland, at 18 I'd never eaten Chinese food. So: Thomas Mann, a breakthrough to a new and gripping level of historical study, an entree to the most interesting group of people I encountered at Trinity, the beginnings of a career, and Kung Pao Chicken. I'd say my freshman seminar worked out all right.

Freshman seminars

â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘rofessor of Philosophy Drew Hyland talks with freshmen in his Guided Studies class during a break.

clusters of related seminars that meet together occasionally, W oldu said. Many Seminar students now live together in the Jones and Elton dormitories, with their seminars meeting in a Jones classroom. "Now when the class meets, the instructors often find that discussion has already begun in the dormitories, which is wonderful," she said. " The seminars work. The faculty enjoy them and the students like the setting. They also bond, which makes a big difference to first-year students," she said. Over the past few years only four or five incoming fresh. . men m a group averaging 450 have decided not to

take a freshman seminar or participate in one of the interdisciplinary honors programs in the sciences or humanities.

Advising The program is also important because it links students to the faculty who will advise them until they declare a major. Before the Freshman Seminar program began, 15 or 20 faculty served on a body called the Freshman- Sophomore Advisory Council. "The real drawback was that you often didn't know the kids very well, never having taught them yourself," Lee said. No advisory system is perfect, he added, but at

least those teaching Freshman Seminars have worked closely with the students they advise. "One of the best things about the seminars is that you really get time to work with students, particularly on their writing," Kirkpatrick said. "The small class size allows you to assign lots of writing, and to spend time working on each student's writing. I can't do that in a class of 50 ." In addition, faculty frequently use the seminars as a testing ground for new ideas and approaches that, if successful, can be integrated into other courses. The seminars are also good places for students to

try out new things. Jon Zonderman '79 recalls that his assignment to Kirkpatrick's "Religious Heretics and Dissenters" seminar was "sort of serendipitous. " The seminar was not his first choice, and Zonderman found himself surrounded by students whom he ordinarily wouldn't have met. "I enjoyed it. It was a group of people who were corning at things from a completely different perspective." Zonderman said he was also impressed by the way Kirkpatrick conducted the course. "Frank wasn't intimidating at all, but he had a knack for easing people into a very high level of

performance. The seminar helped me cross the bridge from high school work to serious academic work." Now an author and freelance journalist, he also appreciated Kirkpatrick's close editing of the papers he wrote each week. "I used to get comments from him like, 'I completely disagree with you, but this argument is well structured.' The practice he gave us in writing tight 750-word essays was invaluable."

Teaching Freshmen Many faculty also prize the experience of teaching an entire class of first-year students. "Freshmen approach the issues from a wholly new perspective . By the end of a semester, some of them really get involved with the material," Stevens said.

He also likes the mix of students his seminar on the legal history of race relations attra( ts: potential lawyers, those interested in the role of race, and athletes drawn to an evening time slot. "This generation of students was born long after the 1960s. For them, Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights Movement really are history. That's always a surprise and a challenge for me." Stevens' seminar stood out for Katie Erskine '96, who took it as a student in 1992 and then served as a teaching assistant in the seminar in 1993. "The academic challenge was as great as any course, but it was less formal," she said. "It was a small group. We were all freshmen. We met in the evenings for three hours. We talked a lot. We

even ate pizza together." The fact that the class was entirely composed of firstyear students also made it special. "We all faced the same things. It felt like we were in it together," she said. The opportunity to help Stevens teach the following year's seminar proved equally valuable. "I learned so much from reading student papers and holding office hours. The freshmen felt comfortable asking me about Trinity and about being a freshman here. That was neat." Erskine found that her interest in a legal career was refined in the process. Many of Stevens' students have, in , fact, ended up as lawyershe has the names of at least 15 on his office Rolodex. "I've even had cases against some of my former students," he said proudly.

The connections some students made in Barry Stevens' seminar were dramatic. "I read legal cases for the first time in that class. We even did a moot court," Anne Mahoney said. Law was only one of several careers she was considering when she arrived at Trinity in 1980, the prosecutor said. "But I didn't know any lawyers. I wasn't sure. All I really knew about law was what I saw on TV." She said she also valued the experience because it encouraged open discussion of race relations. "Trinity has embraced diversity a lot more since then, but the seminar created a lot of discussion in and outside of class about race relations. That was good."

Howfaculty learn ftom each other e first came together in 1988 as noVIces25 Trinity faculty from 13 disciplines- to hear experts discuss how writing could be used effectively to aid thinking and learning in our classes. This came at just the right time: Who was not concerned about students' writing? Who was not concerned about students' critical thinking abilities? Elaine Maimon, one of the founders of the Writing Across the Curriculum movement, led us in a twoday discussion on the value of writing as a way to help students learn: to discover ideas, articulate problems in 路 understanding material, make creative connections, and apply principles to their own lives. Faculty were simultaneously curious, skeptical, energized, interested in experimenting, and full of questions and ideas. Little did we know that in six years we would be receiving invitations to visit 路campuses around the country as experts on using writing to engage students actively in learning. The first workshop was the beginning of a lively conversation that is still going on at Trinity: a conversation not only about writing but also about teaching and, more importantly, about student learning. Dina Anselmi of psychology and I organized the first workshop, but soon we were joined in our organizing ef-

forts by many other faculty. Dan Lloyd of philosophy and Dina organized a twoday session on critical thinking that focused on how students learn. Director of the Writing Center Beverly Wall organized a conference on writing and learning for area high school and college faculty and developed the Trinity Writing Associates Program. Noreen Channels of sociology spearheaded a New Faculty Orientation, which is primarily devoted to teaching. Henry DePhillips of chemistry joined in organizing a faculty "teach-in" attended by 150 faculty at which over 80 faculty exchanged ideas, approaches, assignments, syllabi, and handouts from their own classes. Faculty traded assignments and ideas that had worked, and requested help with ideas that had failed. There is no one way to teach , and what works in one class might not work in another. Trinity faculty have adapted many of the traditional ideas from Writing Across the Curriculum and developed our own creative and productive ideas. Good ideas have a way of filtering through the campus, while bad ideas die quickly (thankfully!). Trinity faculty have been invited to take their good ideas to faculty at over 20 campuses around the country and to national conferences. My work with other faculty has changed the way I

teach - and has improved the level of learning that goes on in my classes. Since I learn the material best when I have to teach it, I create assignments that put my students in the role of teachers. One example is a " dialogue" exercise. After each class students write a short memo to a friend who is not able to take the class but always has a ques_t'lon about the class material. By the end of the semester each student has taught the course, through the memos, to this friend . Though timeconsuming, the dialogues have impressive benefits: ~ When responding to their friend, students discover for themselves whether they really understand the material. This encourages more questions in class as students anticipate an assignment that requires them to explain material to someone and encourages student discussion of class material outside of class .

~ The memos allow me to

determine quickly if students understand and can apply the material so that I can clear up confusions early in the learning process . My office hours are much more productive. ~ Writing in the language of tfi.e course every day makes it easier and more likely that the students will use the language of the discipline in the classroom and, thus, raises the level of con.., versation in the classroom.

hen students each, everyone earns. At Trinity juniors and seniors are given the chance to devise and teach creditbearing courses in their areas of special competence. Through student-taught courses, undergraduate teachers broaden their educational experience and students benefit from unique course offerings. In the past such courses have included "The Armenian People," "The Experience ofDeafness," and "The Criminal

Justice System." Vinay Gupta '94 began thinking about offering a course during his sophomore year, when he and fellow students interested in computers discussed the notion of undergraduates' teaching different computer languages. Mter a junior year of study at McGill University in Montreal, the computer science and engineering major from India found that the idea still appealed to him. "A Gentle Introduction to UNIX and the Internet" was born.

"Trinity's computer science department uses UNIX, and it is the operating system of choice in the computer science field in general," says Gupta, who noticed that professors sometimes had to teach bits and pieces of UNIX to students as part of other courses. "On the Internet [international computer network], you encounter machines that use UNIX. Typically, you have to understand some functionality ofUNIX to get by. "I picked up my knowl-

edge about UNIX along the way, just by playing with the system," he says. "After three years, I was reasonably proficient." Assistant Professor of Engineering and C omputer Science Mark A. Friedman thought so, too, and agreed to supervise Gupta's teaching. With Friedman's advice, Gupta wrote a course proposal and syllabus that were approved by the Faculty C urriculum Committee. Because 40 students preregistered for the spring class, the Committee extended the student-taught course enrollment limit from 15 to 24-the number of terminals in the Macintosh computer laboratory. About half of the students in the class were computer science and engineering majors; the rest were from other liberal arts disciplines. " I did a little bit of lecturing, and there was lots of hands-on work," says Gupta, who began working for Andersen Consulting in Toronto after Commencement. "It was great. I really enjoyed it, and I think most of the students did, too. They were eager to learn." Q uizzes and assignments in Gupta's class included practical applications of UNIX and the Internet, such as using an editor to create text and retrieving a file from a foreign location. The students' last assignment involved learning how to order books, compact disks, and flowers on the Internet. "The idea was for the assignments to be fun as well as interesting." Gupta says with a smile. "The students never sent me any flowers, though!"

n the future, the social scientists tell us, the nature of work will change . Increasingly, it will be collaborative. In some segments of industry the future is already here. Workers are segmented into teams, sharing responsibility for specific functions within a larger job, celebrating successes together and sharing problems as they arrive in the production process. _ At Trinity, many faculty have incorporated collaboration into their courses. Students work in teams on projects and assignments, taking specific charges as theirs within group assignments, and writing and reporting the results together. In Engineering 102 - Introduction to Engineering, Art, Ethics and Practice Vern on Roosa Professor of Applied Science Joseph Bronzino and participating engineering faculty take a team-taught approach with freshmen who will work in teams on design projects of their own choosing. "In an industrial or corporate setting, most engi neers do not function independently," Bronzino says. "Except for individual entrepreneurs, most engineers operate as a member of teams engaged in 'concurrent' or 'sustainable' engineering projects. In this course we provide our stu-

dents with an opportunity to learn the basic principles of problem solving and decision making while engaging in a semester-long design project as members of a team." Throughout the semester engineering faculty present to the class topics within their expertise, such as fluid mechanics, electrical science, thermal systems, optical electronics and biomedical engineering. By the third class students form teams of at least four members. Each team selects a design project

from a distributed list and writes a well-defined statement of the problem by the 1Oth class meeting. This semester in Engineering 102 one of the groups- that of Joe DeAngelis, Amy Turner, Brady Jensen, Kevin Donovan, and Steve ~archlik chose to design an integrated transportation network for Hartford and its surrounding suburbs. The students debated for days before choosing this topic. In the end, they felt it was the most practical of

the 10 offered. They were also attracted by the challenge it offered. "We wanted to create something that the city of Hartford has been trying to accomplish for years and this, of course, was to design a transportion system for the city and its surrounding suburbs," the students wrote in the introduction to the weighty document that is their report. In the required statement of need for the project, they note that their public transportation system for Greater

ur numbers were few, but even that element proved poignant as our trip became more of a pilgrimage. In sum: three students (myself, Nicole Komposch, and Kelda Spangenberg), Prof David Klein (Western N ew England U.), Prof Levana Polate of modern languages, Prof Samuel Kassow of history, Lisa Kassow (Hillel Adviser), and their daughter Miri, on a seven-hour drive in a caravan to Washington, D. C. So it was that on an April weekend, this Trinity delegation joined the more than two million visitors who will tour the United States Holocaust Memorial M useum in its first year. O n Sunday, April24 we convened again in front of the museum, and were joined by the Benanavs, family friends from Connecticut who had arranged to tour the museum with us. Inside, on the concourse level, hundreds of people lined up for any remaining tickets to the permanent exhibition for that day (there is a long w aiting list for the museum; only groups and Holocaust survivors themselves are granted exceptions). Also on this level was a bookstore, as well as archives, temporary exhibits, and a cafe -- but where was the actual museum? It would be this strange, cold sense of a beyond that lent an air of foreboding and im-

mediacy to the place. Each one of us was then given a small identification card -- we would experience this as true participants, each of us role-playing, following a specific person's progression, and fate. I suppose, however, the actual experience began in that steely, caged elevator slowly lifting us as its cargo to the fourth floor, where the permanent exhibition began. Then it was silent. Just like the elevator, there is complete silence save for a faint ringing from somewhere; or, maybe there isn't

any ringing. No, it is this queer sound that really identifi es that thick silence. The voices around you are smothered in the closeness; indeed you are surrounded everywhere by other visitors, squeezed and limited in movement. And silence. It was then that I began to think of the other holocaust memorials I had visited. I remembered Yad V eshem in Israel, a very symbolic memorial intended more as a solemn requiem for the tragedy . That was a more religious atmosphere, the pathos of the Jews:

paintings, diary inscriptions, what had been lost was recovered with pride. Then I remembered Dachau in Germany and Auschwitz in Poland. Of course, these were more striking, if only because of the physical evidence of the camp around you , the grotesque remnants of the crematoria, and the medical experiments so scrupulously recorded on film by the Nazis. But the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum had a different agenda, lacking the resources to be either a religious monument or an ac-

floor was the end of the war, the end of the Nazi regime, and the rescue of the Jews. Also on this floor is a list of all those people who had personally sacrificed to help hide maybe one family or to divert thousands from the death camps. Perhaps in contrast to the more prominent figures of those who did not do anything, those who did are often overlooked in the larger history of the holocaust. This recognition was a powerful and sweet commentary on humanity by this museum. And, like Y ad V eshem' s Children's Memorial, or the Auschwitz display of hair, this museum had certain exhibits that are unforgettable, so moving and sorrowful that they become a signature. For me, I remember the blue room scattered in shoes, with a tiny bridge navigating through them. Before I could adjust I saw only a dense amount, recalling the incredible scope of the destruction -- millions. Lest you forget (which is a too-easy trap) that these were individuals, concentrate on just one shoe: recognize its size as close to your own, or small like your sister's feet, the laces still tied or maybe not, distinguishing scrapes -- this is all that is left. Look on these things and concentrate agam. Aside from the museum itself, I was intrigued by my company that day: all of them the second generation

of the Holocaust. I felt honored to watch and listen as Prof Kassow pointed out names and places he remembered from desiderata covering the glass panels in the walkways; also honored to hear how another in our party came upon his last name and of those relatives still in Israel; again honored to comfort Prof Polate when the exhibit was too strong. I must say that these expressions truly focused the trip for me; these are events in history that should not be viewe.d as exclusive to Europe or Western Civilization, these are topics that humanity must resolve. I saw the immediacy of this after viewing the two-hour movie at the end of the tour, in which-actual survivors recorded their stories and what they had seen. But, they are only a few, and I am haunted by a single phrase I heard around me all through that day: "Everyone has a story." Indeed, it is clearly the theme of this museum to never forget, to never allow these events to occur again. This museum stands as a rebuke to revisionist history and a sharp portrayal of the depths of humanity. And if it be only a small collection of artifacts and remnants, it builds a complete memory of those who are gone. I urge you to visit this museum and be touched as I was by its uniquely powerful and per~ sonal insights.

The IDP qffirs learning options W

hen Trinity's Individualized Degree Program (IDP) started in 1973, its students were not allowed to enroll in regular courses. Instead, these nontraditional students earned their bachelor's degrees at Trinity through study units. Times have changed. Today's currenct population of 200-plus IDP students, who range in age from 23 to 80, now take classes with traditional undergraduates and participate in all facets of College life. Study units are now "an important option within the IDP," according to Louise H. Fisher '73, director of graduate studies and special academic programs. "Study units are independent study guides drawn up by faculty members," Fisher explains. "Sometimes they parallel existing courses. Sometimes they reflect the special interest or expertise of a professor." This curricular option is available only to IDP students, whose work is supervised by the professor who created the unit. Generally, students and faculty meet about six times during the course of the unit. Students can take up to a year to complete the work. "Study units usually involve more work than a course, because the students

have less direction and must do more themselves," Fisher says. "They require a tremendous amount of selfdiscipline. Some students do not find them suited to their personality." More than half ofiDP

students undertake at least one study unit during their Trinity career. Some do many more. Among those who have completed multiple study units is Kendahl Craig, a junior majoring in psychology. A unit on civil

rights with Associate Professor of History Cheryl L. Greenberg marked a turning point in her education. "Cheryl encouraged me to look at the study unit as a challenge," says Craig. "I found myself in the library-

and enjoying it! " Craig's project for that study unit involved the civil rights movement at Trinity. In addition to doing library research, she attended some of Greenberg's regular classes on civil rights; interviewed such faculty as John H. Chatfield '64 and]. Ronald Spencer '64, both of whom were active in the civil rights movement as students; surveyed alumni; used a complex statistical program that Associate Professor of Psychology David A. Reuman volunteered to teach her; and wrote a paper. The project was "huge," she says. It took a semester and two months to complete. "The effort I put into the project meant a lot to me," she says. Craig is a development officer for the communitybased Hispanic Health Council, as well as a consultant. Her employer is supportive of her efforts to earn a degree: in fact, the agency suggested that she look into Trinity's IDP. At times, however, Craig, finds it difficult to attend a regularly scheduled class, and study units let her complete the work on her own time. "I don't only take study units because they fit into my work schedule, though," Craig says. "I see them as a challenge." In the absence of classroom debate, "it's interesting to envision

what other reasonable people might think about an l SSUe.

"I think the IDP is what you make of it," Craig says. "What it prornises to have in place, it has in place: access to programs, resources like the Writing Center and the library, peer support. Since all of that is in place as it should be, I'm the variable."

"Professor Reich has a great appreciation and understanding of the liberal arts and the enterprise of teaching, drawn from her own experience in the liberal arts tradition," President Borden Painter '58 said in making the announcement. "A graduate ofliberal arts colleges, she has been a member of the faculty at Loyola's College of Arts and Sciences. In addition to teaching undergraduates, she has taught medical and graduate students, many of whom were preparing to become scholars and teachers. She brings to Trinity her philosophy and values as an educator, as well as her broad perspective of where liberal arts colleges fit in the larger picture of higher education." "I am most pleased and honored to be joining the faculty and students of Trinity College, which holds a special place among the most selective liberal arts colleges in the nation," Reich said. "The College's faculty and students are working together in the best of the liberal arts traditions, seeking knowledge, creating new ways of thinking, and applying their talents to the pressing challenges and exciting opportunities presented by an urban environment. It is this mix oflearning, creating, and applying knowledge that brings me to Trinity and makes Trinity a leading educator for the 21st century." Reich, who joined the Loyola faculty in 1977, was associate dean of its graduate school from 1986 to 1990. A leader in the University's psychology department, she has been its chairperson since 1990. She also is active in University affairs, serving as a

n1.ember of the Ph.D. Council, the Dean's Council for the College of Arts and Sciences, the Graduate School Coordinating Board, the Committee on the Role of Graduate Education, and the University Conduct Board. Over the years, she was chairperson of the Ph.D. Council, as well as a member of the Executive Committee of the Faculty Council, the Library Board, the International Students Advisory Committee, and the Space Planning Committee. "Jill Reich is one of the top academic administrators I've known in my 30-year-plus career," said Joanne E. Callan, executive director for education at APA. "For years, I have had a great regard for Trinity College, and I think this is a great match. Jill is an exceptionally hard worker. She has a velvet touch but there is a lot of steel behind it." Callan praised Reich for her wisdom, her balance, and her leadership. Reich is a founder of Loyola's Center for Children and Families, which she directed from 1985 to 1990. The Center provides early education, assessment, and intervention programs that combine the talents of the University's psychology, education, and pediatrics departments to serve the

Greater Chicago community. Reich's broad interests have led to her participation in many activities outside the University. She is a consultant for Walter H. Sobel & Associates, Architects and Planners, in Chicago, helping architects design buildings that take into account the psychology of their occupants; and she is an associate in pediatrics at The Evanston (Ill.) Hospital. She served for several years as a member of the Board of the Ox-Bow School of Art in Chicago and as a member of the Visiting Scientist Program of the city's Museum of Science and Industry, in which she introduced school children to the behavioral sciences and judged their science fairs. Since 1992, she has been vice-chairperson of the Priority Grants Committee for Children and Families ofUnited Way of Chicago. "Coming from an educational institution in a city, Professor Reich understands Trinity's important relationship with the City of Hartford," Painter said. "Her wide-ranging participation in Chicago's civic life, both professionally and personally, w ill make her a valuable member of both the Trinity and Hartford communities." Reich, 48, earned a bachelor's degree from Regis College in 1966 and a doctorate in experimental psychology from Dartmouth College in 1976. Before joining the Loyola faculty, she was aresearch associate at Dartmouth College and a member of the faculty of the Dartmouth Medical· School. She is the author of the book The Psychology of Infants Born at Risk, as well as several book chapters. She has written more than 30 articles for professional journals, among

them "Teaching undergraduates about teaching undergraduates."

Kunin speaks at Commencement ••••••••••••••••••• Madeleine May Kunin, U.S. deputy secretary of education and former three-term governor of Vermont, asked Trinity's 1994 graduates to devote a part of their lives to bridging the gap between disparate segments of society. Kunin was the featured speaker at the College's 168th Comn1.encen1.ent ceremony held May 22. Four hundred sixty-nine bachelor's, 30 master's, and 10 honorary doctoral degrees were presented. The Venerable Lobsang Samten, founder and spiritual director of the Chenrezig Tibetan Buddhist Center in Philadelphia, delivered the morning Baccalaureate sermon. Samten spent a month at Trinity this spring creating a mandala, an intricate sand painting, at Trinity's Austin Arts Center. He is the first Tibetan Buddhist monk, other than His Holiness the Dalai Lama, to receive an honorary degree from a European or American college or university. He also is the first practitioner of an Asian religion to give the Baccalaureate address. Valedictorian of the Class of '94 is Julianne M. Galluzzo, a biology major from Unionville, Conn. Salutatorian is Katherine H. Gschwend, an American studies major from Lancaster, Pa. In addition to Kunin and Samten, honorary degrees were awarded at Commencement to: Anne Braden, civil rights activist and author; Robert W. Brown, president of the American League of Professional Baseball Clubs and physician; Madeleine L'Engle, au.:.

Students 'go abroad' via video BY ELIZABETH NATALE

tudents curious about international careers had a chance to meet with alumni working abroad -without ever boarding a plane. State-of-the-art technology made available through C IGNA Cos. in Bloomfield, C onn., and CS First Boston in London allowed six Trinity undergraduates to meet "face to fac e" with alumni working in Great Britain one afternoon in April. The video conference discussion, during which the students saw the alumni and vice versa, was videotaped for future use by students who use Trinity's Office of Career C ounseling. T he video conference linked students needing information about international careers with alumni who w ork abroad and want to help students prepare to live and work outside the United States. Topics during the hour-long discussion included the current job market overseas; the value of work experience in securing a position; if, when, and where to get a master's degree; the cost of living abroad; and coping with culture shock. The students found the program helpful. Andrea N. Picott '94 said she appreci-

ated the honesty of the alumni and their interest in helping students get off on the right foot. Amanda K. Kauff '94 said being able to see the alumni made the conversation less nerveracking than one conducted on the telephone. As the discussion closed, Ricardo M. Garcia '94 asked John W. Chandler Jr. '80, commercial director and general manager of Schweppes Great Britain; Alexander M.D.V. Moorrees '78, owner of Applewale International Ltd.; and Luther L. Terry, Jr. '67, executive director of CS First Boston, how their Trinity education has helped them in their careers.

"I was working on a job in the oil business, and I was being run into the ground by the guy I worked for because he didn't like having a Yankee from the Northeast working for him. He was sending me on the worst jobs and literally trying to get me to quit.

"What I decided was that maybe Japanese history wasn't directly applicable to the oil business, but my father always told me that the value of a liberal arts education is that it teaches your mind to learn," he continued. "So I studied every engineering bulletin, every product manual, every catalog-everything my company had-until I knew more than my boss. Rather than running me into the ground, I got promoted above him; and it wasn't because of one thing I learned at Trinity, it was because I believed I could learn. And I've tried to take advantage of that ever since. In the same way that an athlete trains to be in shape for the game, an education trains you to be in shape for life."

In her address to the Class of 1994, Kunin talked about becoming a grandmother for the first time on Mother's Day. When she held her grandson,

she experienced both joy and apprehension. " ...Can he be protectedfrom violence, disease and the sense of social instability which is rocking us all?" she wondered. "I began to realize that it would not be enough to provide for him alone, and swaddle him as an adult, as he is swaddled now, in a protective cocoon. "I would have to try to change the street, the town, the community, the world, in which he will play, learn and work. And that, in part, is why I call upon your idealism, for him, and his generation." She recalled the headlines o( the day when the baby's father, her son, was born. James Meredith was refused entry to the University of'Mississippi, held back by 500 armed police. "It's hard to understand the furious opposition to integration back then, as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the landmark desegregation decision, Brown vs. Board ofEducation, this week," Kunin said. "But it is also a reminder that the force of a powerful moral principle-and the people who were willing to stand behind it-led to the triumph of Brown, and opened those school doors in Kansas, which opened up all those other doors for subsequent generations." Kunin suggested that Trinity's Class of 1994 look to Nelson Mandela's accomplishments in South Africa, as well as to the end of the Cold War and the beginnings of peace in the Middle East, for concrete examples of idealism resulting in change. Trinity president Borden W. Painter, Jr.'58 echoed Kunin's remarks in his charge to the graduates. "All of you in the Class of 1994 have received something precious in your

education here," he said. "How you use it in a myriad of ways is up to yo u. I charge you to put it to 'good' use; 'good' in ways that will make you a better person, w ill benefit those around you, and contribute to society at large. " Senior Class President Angela M. Latina of Hartford also addressed the Class . Stephanie E. Cope and Michael Kurdziel presented the record-setting Class gift, which totalled $6, 263 . Most of the Gift will be used for the Senior Class Scholarship Fund; in addition, two ornamental benches for the campus are being purchased.

New major in anthropology offered • ••• • • •• The Trinity faculty has formally approved a new major in anthropology. Introdu ctory courses in the field have been taught at the College for some time , and an anthropology program was started in 1987. In recent years, students have completed self-designed interdisciplinary majors that incorporated anthropology. According to Jane NadelKlein, associate professor of anthropology and director of international studies, the major at Trinity focuses on cultural anthropology, the interpretive

study of human beings as they are culturally constituted and as they have lived in social groups throughout history and around the world. R equirements for the new major include: three core courses - Introduction to Cultural Anthropology, History of Anthropological Thought, and Anthropological Methods; two ethnographic courses, such as Peoples of Europe, and Peoples and C ultures of the Caribbean; two courses on anthropological issues , such as The Politics of Culture, and Religion and Culture Change; two electives in anthropology or in cognate subjects, such as Language, Meaning and Ideo!-

ogy, and Arch eological Method and Theory; and the senior seminar.

He said that Dow maintains a "professional balance between serving the needs of his institution and the needs of students. He always takes the high road and offers an understanding attitude of cooperation without sacrificing integrity or lus institution's mission."

An impressive collection of papers documenting the influential business and finance career of G. Keith Funston '32, 13th president of Trinity and former president of the New York Stock Exchange, is now part of the College archives. College archivist Peter Knapp '65 said the papers, which are being prepared for use, will serve as a vital resource for business and economic historians as well as students in American history and economics. The collection complements existing holdings of correspondence from Funston's Trinity presidency and includes business and institutional correspondence, diaries, and an extensive collection of public addresses . Funston earned an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School in 1934 before entering the

business world. By 1941, he was directing purchases for Sylvania Electric Products Company. Later that year he joined the war effort, serving in various capacities on the War Production Board and the Office of Procurement and Material as a Lieutenant-Commander in the United States Naval Reserve . When Funston assumed the presidency of Trinity in November 1945 at the age of 35, he became one of the youngest persons ever to serve an American college or university in that capacity. Six years later. in 1951, Funston was named president of the New York Stock Exchange, a position he held until 1966 when he j oined O lin Mathieson Chemical Corporation, where he served until his retirement in 1972. Funston served as a trustee of Trinity for more than 40 years, sharing his broad management experience and keen financial acumen.

Keck Grant aids engineering ••••••••••••• Thanks to a $200,000 grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation of Los Angeles, Calif, future engineering students at T rinity will study the exciting world of laser technology in a state-of-the-art Optical Diag-

nostics and Communications Laboratory. TheW. M. Keck Foundation, which is located in Los Angeles, Calif, is dedicated to strengthening programs in the sciences at universities, col- · leges, medical s~hools, and major, independent medical research institutions nationwide through a competitive grants process. "The Keck Foundation plays a key role in enhancing the study of science in this country, and Trinity is honored to be included among this year's grant recipients," said Mary LaPorte, director of corporate and foundation relations. The funds awarded will support the creation of new laboratory space in the Mathematics, Computing and Engineering Center, and the purchase and installation of equipment designed to teach the technology of optical diagnostics and communications. Once installed, the laboratory will provide hands-on experiences in courses across Trinity's engineering curriculum; will serve as a model for other engineering program designs currently under consideration by the department; and will provide increased opportunities for senior design projects and collaborative research projects involving students and faculty from the departments of engineering, computer science, physics, and chemistry. It also will be used to introduce students in non-major engineering courses to light, lasers, and optical diagnostics, and to develop a new series oflaboratory experiments for student members of the Connecticut Pre-Engineering Program, a program designed to encourage and enrich middle and high school minority students who have the potential and interest to study mathematics, science,

and engineering. Dr. John Mertens, assistant professor of engineering, came to Trinity in 1990 from Stanford University, where he was involved in research relating to optical diagnostics. As the principal scientist in the development of the Keck proposal, Dr. Mertens is excited at the prospect of teaching in the new laboratory, which he anticipates will be on-line by the end of the summer. "It's going to provide our students with hands-on experience with optical tools that most students don't see until graduate school, if ever. This really is going to b e a unique laboratory for an undergraduate institution. We think it will serve as a model. for the next step in undergraduate engineering education." Historically, the study of engineering at Trinity has been one of the College's strengths. This tradition continues as the faculty seeks to incorporate into the curriculum new areas of inquiry and fresh combinations of more traditional materials and approaches. External grants play an important role in the College's ability to support these efforts. Additionally, grants from sources with the stature of the W.M. Keck Foundation constitute public recognition of the quality educational experience available to students enrolled at Trinity. In addition to the award from theW. M. Keck Foundation, the College was pleased to receive a grant of $46,591 from the Henry]. Kaiser Family Foundation. The Kaiser grant helped the College complete the match required in a 1991 grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Funds from the Mellon Foundation grant were used to support development of the College's Strategic Plan, as well as projects dedicated to library

enhancement, architectural planning, and urban curricular initiatives. "The College is most grateful to William Richardson, devoted trustee and friend, for his help in facilitating the Kaiser grant," said LaPorte. "It enabled us to complete the Mellon challenge within the required time-frame. Trinity now has an endowed fund of $150,000 which will provide financial flexibility in our efforts to plan for the future."

KISS OF THE WOLF j im Shepard '7 8 Harcourt Brace, N.Y., 1994, 308 pp., $21.95 "We are responsible for the bad things that happen to us." With these hauntin g words, Jim Shepard opens this accomplished novel about how goo d people can do bad things. Abandoned by h er husband, Joannie Much erino and her 11y ear~o ld son, Todd, are struggling to cope. For J oanie, that also means d ealing with h er h ap les s family and fending off a suitor from the past, a ruthless car salesman named Bruno, who has learned that she is "available" once again. The lives of all of the characters are suddenly transformed w h en Joanie accidentally kills so m eone in a hit- and-run accident. She and Todd discover-step by step, to their own horror- that they will keep their act a secre t. It be comes clear to both mother and son that they have connected th emselves to something thoroughly sinister. Joanie is forced to reassess h er capacity for wrongdoing and, importantly, forced to see that she is capable of being the architect ofher son's own anguished guilt and silence. Shepard, whose first story was published when h e was a Trinity student of 19 , has taught at Williams College since 1983. He drew on his own ~~bring足 ing in Bridgeport's ' talian , Catholic community in his first novel, Flights. H e returns to the same community for the setting and much of the material in his fourth novel. " Individu al r esponsibility versus passivity is an issue I grew up with.

In Together Bound, he seeks to demonstrate that the Christian conviction that Go d is an infinitely powerful , loving personal agent bound to geth er with humanity is compatible "with our deep est rational convictions and claims about reality." Addressed primarily to p,hilosophe'rs, Kirkpatrick's book argues against skepti cs of many varieties that it is possible to develop a rationally coherent, metaphysically respectable concept of Go d as a personal agent in dynamic relationship with and to the world. He steers away from many "classical" Christian explanations that have emphasized God's transcendence, omnisc ien ce, omnipotence, and unknowability. Ranging across the history ofW estc;rn thought, Kirkpatrick instead constructs a notion of the Christian God as one who is bound in a relationship of reciprocal activity with human beings and w hose ac tion s are experienced and known in history . In this reciprocal relationship , God both acts upon and responds to human beings at specific times. For Kirkpatrick, it is God who creates and sustains human community. The Christian community's exp erience of relationship to God is, therefore, the proper starting point for theology. Kirkpatrick finds support for this understanding of God in

Macmurray hoped, for example, that human communities would develop towards an ideal " in which each cares for all the others and no one for" him or herself.

JORDAN FREEMAN WAS MY FRIEND Richard White M' 59 Four Wall Eight Windows Press, N.Y. 1994, 252 pp., $18.95

Richard White's third historical novel takes as its subject the British raid on New London during the Revolutionary War. Under the command of the ce lebrated traitor Benedict Arnold, British forces burned New London and annihilated the small American garrison at Fort Griswold in Groton on September of 1781. A resident of East Lyme , White writes an account rigorously based on the historical record. Except for one figure11-year-old Billy Latham, who becomes a water boy at Fort Griswold-every character in

Former New Haven Register reporter Joan Barbuto takes up the challenges of childrearing 1n this handbook that ad dresses common problems encountered by parents and caretakers. Presented alphabetically , Barbuto presents specific solutions for about 50 behavioral problems ranging from disobedience to sleeping disorders to sibling rivalry. Asserting that discipline is not the same as punishment, Barbuto presents a comprehensive approach to bringing up children. "I wrote this book because I think a lot of people in our society don't know anything about parenting, and the devastating results are all around us," Barbuto writes. "Barbuto offers parents insights into the reasons why chil dren misbehave, and a workable selection of approaches to help parents cope with difficult behavior- both the everyday variety parents are familiar with and more serious problems tha t may arise as children mature, " said Edward Zigler, Sterling Professor ofPsychology at Yale University.

THE WRONG MAN David E. Fisher '54 Random House, N.Y., 1993, 400 pp. , $22

David Melnik, an agent for Israel' s vaunted Mossad, makes his second outing as the hero of Davi d Fisher's thriller, The Wrong Man. Set in the early 1990s when the European neoNazi movement surfaced in the wake of German reunification, the novel d eals with a plot to assassinate the German chancellor during a visit to the United Nations. Melnik is dispatched to the United States to prevent the

assassination of the chancellor, who is suspected of planning to resurrect the Third Reich. The chief suspect is Walter N aman, a German-born Jew, naturalized American citizen, and professional Nazi hunter. Fisher, a professor of cosmochemistry and director of Environmental Studies at the University of Miami, seems an unlikely candidate to write thrillers. But over the course of his career he has worked as a playwright and actor and is a versatile author whose last major book was about the exploration of the North Pole, Across the Top of the World (Random House). The Wrong Man's focus on the neo-Nazi movement reflects Fisher's interest in political thrillers. Critics have praised his work as ambitious, well-plotted, action-packed and well-written.

She has been recomm ended for the Rhodes and M arshall Scholarships.

Larry Silver AwardBrian Williantson '94. This award in memory of Lawrence Silver '64, who was killed on a bombing mission in Vietnam, is made annually to

the student w ho, by vote of the athletic department staff, has contributed most to the Trinity athletic program as a non-player. Williamson, a manager for the ice hockey team from North Reading, M ass., received only the highest praise from H ockey Coach John Dunham. Dunham said, "Since I arrived here in 1970, no manager has handled this position more effi ciently and with more energy and enthusiasm than Brian displayed during his four years at Trinity. While the nightly practices were filled with the everyday chores of picking up pucks, refilling water-bottles, and bagging the team 's laundry, it was the home games in which Brian shone. From pre- game responsibilities which include installing the red goal lights, setting up the sound system, and getting line-up sheets filled in by coaches, to the game activities of announcer, timekeeper and official scorer, right through to the cleaning up of everything after the game and calling in the scores to newspapers, Brian was w illing and eager to see that things were done right."

Goodbye to two favorite coaches Also honored this spring were two ofTrinity's most beloved and respected coaches. Chet M cPhee and Robie Shults stepp ed down from their duties in the athletic department, ending their careers at Trinity the way that they began them

plate , setting five different single season records, including most at-bats (117), most hits (52), most doubles (12), most total bases (77), and most runs batted in (40). The records for most hits and most total bases had been set by Murray Coggeshall in 1896, making them 98 years old. Coach Decker said, " I think that the most impressive thing about Mike is the fac t that with all of his personal success throughout the season, he never lost perspective on the team aspect. H e expressed disappointment in the team's final record, and is looking forward to improving on it next season. Mike's dedication to the team is one of the reasons for his personal success." As a result of his spectacular season, R anieri was selected to the New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association/ American Baseball Coaches Association 1994 N ew England All-Star team. T he Players selected for this team participated Chet McPhee, left, and Robie Shnlts display their blanket awards.

- together. Both men graduated from Oberlin College in 1951, and in 1957 they both arrived at Trinity. A friend to many of the school's athletes, McPhee was coach of several different teams : men's lacrosse, freshman football, men's and women's swimming. He also served as the assistant track coach, assistant women's soccer coach, and assistant men's soccer coach. Along with his friendly manner, he had a desire to coach , which led him to start both the men's lacrosse and women's swimming teams at the College. Shults came to Trinity as the assistant men's soccer coach, and quickly worked from that position into head coach for m en 's soccer, basketball, and baseball during the course of his career. Amazingly, he was able to coach all three sports in one year, with all of the sea-

sons overlapping. A gifted , natural athlete himself, Shults coached a 1984 baseball team that won the ECAC tournament and was crowned the best team in New England that season.

Our spring all-stars This spring, Trinity teams enjoyed successful seasons and performances by star athletes, two of w hom proved to be exceptional. Baseball player Mike R anieri '96 and lacrosse standout Robin Leary '95 both pushed to the limits of their ability, reaching new heights. Ranieri ofBraintree, Mass., the starting centerfielder for the Bantams baseball team, was a big reason for their successful 18- 13 record, including a berth in the Eastern College Athletic Conference tournament. As the number-three hitter in th e line-up fo r Coach Bill Decker, Ranieri was unbeatable at the

in an All-Star game at Boston 's Fenway Park on June 6. R anieri w as elected a tricaptain for the 1995 season , along with Peter Tigh e '95

(Melrose, M ass.) and Dan Coppola '9 5 (Bridgeport, Conn.) . Leary, a standout attack from Andover, M ass ., had big shoes to fill this season as the replacement for Trinity's all- time leading scorer Grace Cragin. Leary did not disappoint, as the team' s leading scorer on the season with 41 goals and 16

assists. H er 59 points tied for the third most points ever in a single season at Trinity, and with a full season to go, she is 52 points away from capturing second on the career points list. She was a major factor in the Bantams' 10- 2 season, w hich saw them earn the number- one seed in the E CAC tournament before losing a

AREA CLUB NOTES

The Trinity Club of Hartford put some cheer

into late fall 1993 with its 34th annual banquet held at the College in November. The Club bestowed its "Person of the Year Award" upon the Honorable Richard N Palmer '72, Connecticut Supreme Court Justice. Club President John Cl!fford '7 6 helped to organize the event. The Alumni College Lun- 路 cheon Series continues to attract a large number of Trinity alumni from the Hartford area, thanks to the work ofJim Goodridge '63. The November 16 speaker was Steve Wulf, editor-atlarge for Sports Illustrated, who discussed "Baseball: Between the Lines." Hartford's Young Alumni Group, under the leadership of Donna Haghighat '89, is an active group. They organized "A Blues Jam" for the Classes of 1983-1993 at The Municipal Cafe on December 2 with entertainment by D Smith Blues Project and featuring an all-you-can-eat spaghetti dinner. Haghighat also organized an entertaining evening at Theaterworks on April 7 when young alumni joined for dinner followed by the play "Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'n Roll." 路 On January 20, Ernie Mattei '70 arranged another popular Downtown Luncheon meeting, this one featuring Prifessor Eugene Leach, chairman of the history department, as guest speaker.

For those alumni and parents eager to hear about progress on the College's Strategic Plan, adopted in January, 1993, three members of the campus community have been sharing that report. One professor and two administrators teamed up this spring and traveled more than 3,000 miles to spread the word that the Strategic Plan is making a difference at Trinity. Professor of Philosophy Drew Hyland, who joined the faculty in 1967; Associate Academic Dean J. Ronald Spencer '64, who returned to campus in 1967; and Senior Associate Dean of Students Mary Thomas, who came to Trinity in 1989, traveled to Providence, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore, and Boston to address gatherings of the Trinity clubs in each city. Spencer also spoke at a

luncheon in Detroit hosted by Bruce Rockwell '60, and at a reception hosted by the Trinity Club of Chicago. In their presentation, Trinity Today and Tomorrow: Realizing the Vision, they discussed the realities and the opportunities ofTrinity's urban location; faculty and curricular projects at hand; and changes in student life to create more venues for learning outside the classroom and in student programming, as well as increasing student responsibility and selfgovernance, in academic and residential life. "Ron, Drew and Mary were involved in the development of the plan from the start and more recently in its implementation," said Gerald J. Hansen Jr. '51, director of alumni and college relations, "so they really are among the best

people to take the message out tc alumni and parents. The three di a great job, and their audiences enjoyed the chance to meet then: and hear directly from people wr are in the midst of the changes." Trinity thanks those who hosted and organized these event H. Scotte Gordon '78 in Providence, Donna and Mark Mittentha '71 in Atlanta, Ken Jurish '87 in Chicago, David Strawbridge '62 in Philadelphia, Stuart Kerr '78 and Marian Kuhn '77 in Washington; Ward Classen '80 in Baltimore, ar Wendy Goldstein '8 8 in Boston.

The Trinity Clubs of San Francisco and Los Ange路 les hosted the first-ever West

Coast Alumni College April 9 and 10. Professors James Miller of English and American Studies, Eugene Leach of history, and Kathleen Curran of fine arts, presented lectures on "The American City at a Crossroads." In addition to alumni and parents, the program attracted admitted students for the Class of 1998 and their parents, who enjoyed the chance to meet fac ulty and talk with alumni about theirTrinity experience. The College also earned media attention that resulted in a radio interview with Professor Leach on San Francisco's KCBS-AM radio, and KPFA-FM radio i1 Berkeley, part of the Pacifica Radio network. KPFA taped the program for June broadcast and is making the program available to 70 public radio stations nationwide that subscribe to its archives.

Connie was indeed a man of God - always kind, considerate and compassionate.

As a clarification to an earlier report, JACK HANNA notes that SHERRY RAYMOND is the permanent Class Agent for '36, and in no way pro tern. Jack writes, "Long a supporter of worthy causes, Sherry puts countless hours into fundraising. Recently he wrote me a card bulging with good news: 'Grace and I are now great-grandparents. Our granddaughter in Bethel, Conn. had an eight-pound daughter."' Since his triple bypass operation last April, Sherry is enjoying golf again and walking two miles every day. He has been elected vice president of the Historical Society of Yarmouth. Then, before Christmas, he sang with a 40-voice chorus in the first of five concerts. He and his wife spent Thanksgiving with their daughter in Bethel and attended the baptism of their great-granddaughter the Sunday following.

Hope you can make it in '94. lt seems not long ago, but it was, when last we saw BILL POMEROY, in a nifty blue convertible, wave goodbye as he drove down the road from Heublein Tower. It was our first Class Reunion after the War. Today a nice note arrived from Jeanne Pomeroy, widow of Bill, telling us that the Pomeroys are a third-generation Trinity family, with Whitney Anne (second grandchild) presently a junior at the College. Their first grandchild is a graduate ofYale and married, and the third is at Carleton College in Minnesota. Maybe in the distant future, another Pomeroy will seek admission to Trinity, fo r in December of 1993 the ninth grandchild appeared. Bill would have been proud, indeed, to have seen his growing family. The alumni office has heard from CLEM MOTTEN who is living in a "congenial" retirement community in Haverford, Pa. He notes that his major activity is cataloguing several thousand slides - many of which have "real historical value"- which he made on professional visits or residences in Latin America over the past 50 years.

He and Connie just returned from three weeks in France. Great trip - both well. Also ran into FRANK SMITH at library. He saw my Trinity cap and accosted m e. Hadn't seen him in 53 years. H e is well - just getting back to writing again . I just had cataract removed from right eye. All OK. NowTay is going to do same on Dec. 16. Great doctor here - do es sup er job. Wonderful weather here." (He didn't know what he was missing in that respect.) Don later sent m e a copy of the C hristmas newsletter sent by GENE and Lugene HUNGERFORD. Lugene had to undergo surgery for a back problem. As of the date of the letter, the healing Was going very well. She was also undergoing treatment for a collapsed arch in her right foot. On a happier note, the president of the American Nuclear Society awarded Gene a Presidential Citation for significant contributions to the advancement of nuclear

science and technology. After the citation was bestowed he asked Lugene to stand, and recognized the two of th em as a team, citing her significa nt contributions to the area of nuclear waste disposal. Gene was gratified to see a number of his forme r students in attendance at the meeting. He was pleased that all his students have moved in to important positions in the nuclear community. Gene celebrated his 75th birthday in October. Before DON DAY left for Florida, he sent m e word that DICK BARNES' wife, Anne, has had a bout with breast cancer and was operated on. At last report, sh e was doing well and they are hoping for th e best. I know I speak for all ofDick's classmates in w ishing her a complete recovery. In the November elections, JACK EWING was, as he has regularly been from time immemorial, re-elected to the New J ersey State Senate. This time, his w innin g margin was 61 percent to 39 percent. As chairman of the joint committee on the public schools, Jack was recently quoted in The New York Times on the State's seizure of control of the Jersey City school system. He said that the C ity had shown progress and that legislation can address some remainin g problems. We received the sad news of the death of DICK NOLF, w ho succumbed to asthma. I know that Erreld has the sympathy of all Dick's classmates. Frank A. Kelly, Jr. 21 Forest Dr. Newington, Conn. 06111 Class Agent: Donald J. Day

Continuin g his telephone visiting with all of you, YOUR SECR ETARY cruised down the East Coast and out to Minnesota. In Orleans, on the Cape, FRANC LADNER is pursuing a fruitful life amid hard-to-find books and antiques. H e worked his way into the books business via a mail-order, book-finding service and in the process has gotten to know a lot about the trade. He uses this knowledge to the good of th e local library, the busiest of its size in M assachusetts. The library has an annual fund-raising book sale, before w hich Franc appraises the unusual items, occasionally finding bopks of considerable value. But his tru e, all-consuming interest is antiqu es, specifically

toys, and even more specifically, late 19th-century cast-iron , horsedrawn artifacts . I remembered that in school Franc wanted to be a writer and asked him about that. Tru e, and he rather apologetically admitted that he once had a story accepted by True Confessions. Down in New Jersey, another writer, the prolific CHARLEY J O HNSON, keeps turning out material on the Civil War Gettysburg, in particular - w here C harley's forebears fought w ith distin ction. Charley's on the right track becaus e the Civil War is very much "in" nowadays. And just to the south, in Baltimore, BOB MORRIS is just ge tting over quadruple bypass surgery. H e is optimistic about his rec uperation and is making plans to sell his h ouse and move into a retirem ent community. Bob was one of our classmates w ho did excepti onal military service; nine years in two wars with the Naval meteorological service. And after that, 10 years with the Martin Company and 20-plus years with Blu e Cross . When asked what he thought about the present dialogue 路 on national health service, h e remarked that ifWilbur Mills hadn't driven into a lagoon w ith a stripteaser, we might have already had a plan. Down in St. Augustine is BOB YOUNG, long retired from Pratt &Whitney, now United Technologies . Bob is grateful that h e missed all th e downsizing that is going on now. Bob always liked cars - h e drove the first hydromatic I ever saw - and is delighted now that he has just passed an over-55 driving test that entitles him to reduced insurance rates. Bob is computersharp and m akes his old-fashioned computer do tricks that more expensive, up- to- date computers do. Bob was one of the big-family classmates. His eight rank him wi th FRANK FASI and MAX HAGEDORN. And then out to Minnesota, w here JESS SWEETSER is living an extraordinary life. The adj ective is mine,Jess is too modest to describe what he does as "extraordinary." H e is dedicated to performing services to the blind, spending h ours every week recording talking books available to the blind 24 hours a day, throughout the whole state of Minnesota and adjoining states . Jess is a career teacher and writer (his wife, too, runs a school for the learning-disabled) who is currently publishing a book called Th e Hike into the Sun, the memoir of an American soldier, captured in Bataan and h eld until 1945. Jess

also produces heritage programs, describing folkways from Scotland to Japan, in w hich he "brings folk from the 'old country' to the Middle West and Minnesota." H e calculates his listening audience at 1,900,000 . Joseph J. Bonsignore 9105 Santayana Dr. Fairfax, Va. 22031

The deep sympathy of th e Class is extended to AL EULIANO upon the loss of his wife, Alberta, who died Nov. 11, 1993.Alberta had served as a registered nurse in several Hartford-area hospitals prior to her retirement. In addition to Al, Alberta is survived by a son , two daughters and eight grandchildren. Alberta was able to attend our 50th R eunion in June along with AI, as she has attended m any of our reunions in the past. BOB WELTON and his wife, Barbara, were hosts to YOUR SECRETARY and his wife, Elaine, during a couple of N ew England's bitter January days at their lovely home on a lake in Englewood on Florida's southwest coast. Bob tells of a neighborly alligator who resides in the lake and w ho periodi cally crawls up on the bank near their sunroom to take som e sun for himself However, the Welton Alligator played possum during our visit and we were unable to meet him. JACK FAY and his wife, M arie, were our dinner hosts, along with former Connecticut First Congressional District Congressman Ed May (Wesleyan alumnus) and his w ife, Jean, at the beautiful Fay residence in M ariner Sands in Stuart on Florida's east coast, during our visit with the M ays, also at Mariner Sands. Jack is the only '43 alumnus who can " out-limerick" KENNY YUDOWICH . Do you remember Ken's limericks at our C lass Dinner last June? After dinner, Jack regaled his guests with one limerick after another in rapid-fire su ccession, each more amusing than its predecessor. Jack's ability as a raconteur is undiminished from his College days. Jack's many accomplishments include fruit tree growth and care. H e showed us one of his grapefruit trees whose branches were literally laden to the ground with ripe fruit; and then proceeded to pick a bagful for his gu ests to take home. As you might expect, they were among the sweetest and juiciest we h ave ever tasted.

RAY CUNNINGHAM has been hard at work chairing 1943's War Memorial Project which, as those who attended our 50th R eunion know, was unanimously voted at the Class meeting. Most of those in attendance at the meeting immediately pledged a contribution to the fund and many pledges have been paid. In addition to R ay, as chairman, the committee consists of College Chaplain Nancy Charles, College Treasurer BOB PEDEMONTI '60, and YOUR SECRETARY. It involves raising funds, first from our own Classmates, then from other World War II classes, and finally from all interested alumni and friends, of an amount sufficient to have carved on the granite walls of the Chapel the names of all Trinity alumni war dead in commemoration of the f'last full measure of devotion" give!f by each to his country.You will soon hear by mail about this effort, and it is hoped that all Classmates will respond generously. PETE PETERSON writes of the birth of his granddaughter, Eleni, which occurred during our 50th R eunion. We congratulate him and his wife, Susie. Seems to me good reason for Eleni to enroll at Trinity some day. His letter follows: " My granddaughter, Eleni, came into this world June 10, 1993, the first day of my class's 50th R eunion. My wife, Susie, was in Woodbury holding the fort fo.r two younger Petersons - and then raced home to make the evening festivities on campus. With all this going on that Sunday, we left the class's final activities and went to see Eleni in the hospital. "About the 50th, I had to send our class secretary JOHN BONEE a copy of the photo of my class so he could identifY my .classmates, some of whom I hadn't seen in 50 years, and some only fleetingly on the 25th or other reunions . John did a creditable job of naming our survivors. But John and I were HPHS - Hartford Public High classmates and in 1994 will celebrate our 55th, as will others of '43 Trinity. "My writing goes uphill,just as I used to do walking up Vernon Hill in attending Trinity. As Ever..." HARRY TAMONEY, JARVIS BROWN, R ay Cunningham and others have sent photographs of R eunion scenes to Your Secretary which delightfully portray the festivities.

Class of' 43 undertakes War Men1orial ast June at its 50th Reunion, the Class of' 43 decided to begin a project to bring up-to-date the war memorial on the south interior wall of the Chapel tower, which currently has the names ofTrinity war dead in World War I. Members of the Class of' 43 were moved to this action following their opening memorial service in the Chapel for deceased members and those who had died in World War II. Later at the class meeting, the members voted to form a committee for the expansion of the War Memorial to include those who died in World War II. Ray Cunningham agreed to chair the project. Nine members of the Class contributed to the project immediately, so that Carlos Richardson, the class agent, could start it. The College administration approved the project, and Robert Pedemonti '60, vice president for finance and treasurer, was named the administration's liaison to the committee. The Rev. Nancy Charles, College chaplain, has obtained the names ofTrinity alumni who died in World War II, as well as in the Korean and Vietnam conflicts. Helping her to search the records were Peter Knapp '65, College archivist, and some current students. The committee will follow the precedent set by the Class of 1918, which provided for the existing memorial shortly after the Chapel was completed, by including the name of each person and the class year. The World War II list is 64 names. The committee hopes to raise sufficient funds for the project through the Class of' 43. If necessary, a further appeal will be made through the class secretaries of those classes with names on the casualty lists. However, notes Chairman Cunningham, the project is not exclusively for members of those classes. Any alumni/ ae, faculty members or emeriti, or family and friends of those being commemorated may contribute by sending a check payable to Trustees ofTrinity College, designated to the War Memorial Fund and sent to Robert Pedemonti,Vice President for Finance and Treasurer, Trinity College, H artford, CT 06106. Any funds remaining after the names are inscribed will be given to a Chapel Maintenance Fund.

A great 50th R eunion of our Class of' 44 was planned for June 9- 12 on the Trinity campus. Hope your name appears in the report of the Class of' 44 R eunion activities in the next Trinity R eporter. We look fo rward to seeing all of you

we first met in the fall of 1940 on campus in June. DR. ROGER CONANT and MARK TENNEY, co- chairmen of the R eunion Events C ommittee, cooked up a great program for our 50th. R eports have it that R oger and Mark suggested a fun official hat modeled after the one that pro golfer Greg Norman of Australia wears. As those w ho attended our 40th and 45th R eunion can attest, those were great R eunions , and this - the 50th - should be even greater as we reminisce about our lives, our families, our work and all our experiences. And w hile you're at it, help us

reach our giving goals fo r the Trinity '44 Scholarship Fund and the annual Alumni Fund. R emember, Trinity College has _not posted a budget deficit during the past 23 years, and yo ur generosity is a big factor in this rem arkable record ... as is the fine management ofTrinity's leaders. Speaking of returnees, MERRITT "MOO" JOHN QUEST and YOU R SECRETARY have been writing to each other about w hat it means to be a member of the Class of' 44. Moo finished up in 194 7, and I finally received my bachelor's degree in 1946 - because ofWorld War II. M oo and

CLASS

several .o ther classmates who were in the service during the war wound up active in later classes. Moo served as a successful agent for the Class of' 4 7. My class choice after graduation was '44. Since we began writing to each other, we both agreed that we shared more undergraduate experiences with the guys we met as freshmen, and Moo signed on to j oin us at our 50th. As a former writer and teacher, M oo brought up some interesting questions that pertain also to Your Secretary's experiences. "Do you prefer 'editor' or 'teacher'?" Moo asked in his most recent letter. M oo had worked in advertising as a writer and copy chief. He wrote, "What's a copy chief but an editor? And I taught advertising copy at old Fenn College for a couple of semesters .. .It amused me to know that my students earned college credits, yet by Ohio law, I couldn't teach in grammar or high schools." It's like Your Secretary's experience on the faculty of the University of Hartford. He, too, was not legally qualified for a permanent job as a public school teacher in C onnecticut, although he taught courses required for bachelor's and advanced degrees for U of H and elsewhere. But who are we to complain? Dr. Henry Kissinger, former Secretary of State and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, probably was not legally qualified, either, to teach in pu blic schools - at least in some states. Maybe Moo has the right idea. He prefers "writer" to "teacher" for those of us who have done both. " ... Writer puts you in such good company," Moo notes. "Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Mailer, etc. Party people!" Whatever your trade or profession, hope to see you at the 50th. It promises to be a great party! Classmate LEW DABNEY "sp earheaded a drive last summer in Boston that brought back 1,302 guns, mostly handguns off the streets of Boston." Joining with a nonprofit coalition of community multicultural groups, the effort raised $65,000 from private sources - no taxpayer funds. The Boston people (some 550 "just plain folks" and 48 businesses) paid $50 a working gun and limited each purchase to three per offering to keep out dealers trying to dump us eless stock. Lew says the campaign drew "vast media coverage in Boston" and had a lot to do with making public safety the main issue in the 1993 Hub mayoralty

campaign. Also heard from JACK LOEGERING of the Class of'48, with whom Your Secretary shared some post-World War II classes. Jack lives in Burnsville, Minn., and he and his wife now usually winter in the San Diego area. He earned his Ph.D. in history at the University of Minnesota and spent a few years as a civilian historian for General Curtis LeMay. Later, he went on to other teaching positions and is now retired. He writes that he is " in excellent health, has two sons and two grandchildren, and is enjoying a more relaxed lifestyle." He sees Trinity alumni MONK REYNOLDS and WALTER HAJEK '43. The Golden Years are not always so golden. As you know, our Class lost DR. ARTHUR L. CHAMBERS, DR. JOSEPH INK, JAMES DESMOND,JOHNT. FINK and ROBERT R. WADLUND. Your Secretary and his wife, Josephine, felt especially close to Arthur and his wife, Irene, with whom we shared a number of times together. We extend our deepest condolences to Irene Chambers and her family, as well as to the families of classmates Ink, Desmond, Fink and Wadlund. John and Arthur were members of the Class executive committee, working on the 50th Reunion, among other Class activities. Arthur was also the official class photographer. Spoke with DR. ALAN TRAUB recently and learned that he and his wife, Lois, had their first grandson, Teryn, who was born March 28, 1993. Alan is retired and living in Framingham, Mass.

Another Pulitzer for Albee Edward Albee '50 has received his third Pulitzer Prize for "Three Tall Women," which re-opened offBroadway in April. The play is described as "Albee's funny, sexy, poetic, scandalous, deeply sympathetic and sometimes frightening portrait of a woman in three ages," by Malcolm Johnson of The Hariford Courant. The play reportedly grew out of Albee's stormy relationship with his mother- "an exorcising of demons," according to him. Previously, Albee won Pulitzer Prizes for "A Delicate Balance;' and "Seascape," desribed by Brendan Gill in The New Yorker as "the most exquisitely written of all of Albee's plays." Last fall two related one-act plays by Albee, "Counting the Ways" and "Listening;' were staged by The Signature Theater Company in NewYork.

"His fri ends and associates regard him as an outstanding citizen and churchman who has been unselfishly and constructively involved in all positive asp ects of life in this community."

A recent Sunday's New York Times featured a wedding in my hometown, New Canaan, so I read it. Guess who did the ceremony? None other than our newly-minted Episcopalian priest, JOHN LIMPITLAW! I talked with John after, and he told me it had been his eighth wedding. He went on to describe his life as a parish priest in Easton, Conn. He oversees the spiritual lives of 200 persons, about 90 families. He said it is often like an expanded family; he counsels them in sickness and health, and is drawn into people's lives in a meaningful, special way. He feels fortunate to have done this late in his life since he has the patience and skills to deal with the heavy administrative load that being a parish priest entails. He writes continually: sermons, the church newsletter, letters.

He and his wife now live in the town of Sisters, Ore., about 150 miles south and east of Portland, on the edge ofWillamette National Forest. It looks lovely and I'm sure any member of our Class who journeys out there can stay with them. DICK STANSON called to tell me he and his wife, Betty, survived the great earthquake with little damage. One crystal glass bit , the dust. He had just attended an area College dinner in downtown Los Angeles and there was a good turnout, he said. Dick said that the fires of autumn in Los Angeles got to within about two miles of his home, and he was ready to take off, with Betty and their possessions in th eir car. Happily, that wasn't necessary - he and his home were spared. Dick has a new job, that of director of corporate and foundation relations for the Orthopedic Foundation of Los Angeles. Dick told me news of DAN DAVIS, whom he had recently seen. Evidently Dan h as bought a school supplies business in Sunderland, Mass. They make film strips and tapes for supporting the teaching effort. He is happy and it is going well. JOHN RITTER called me from Pensacola, Fla., where he was enjoying a month in the sun with Edith. He has now fully retired from business, having left Delco (GM) about five years ago, and the job of manufacturer's rep last year. .He claims to be doing nothing but enjoying the "good life" but it so unded like that involved a lot of work for his church. He was the "senior warden" for his Episcopal church in Kokomo, which is the top position for a lay person. He runs the business side of the church, budgets, expenses, etc. He is also involved with the diocese of northern Indiana and attended a

conference in Atlanta. He sounds busy. Finally, I called BILL EASTBURN to see how he was faring after his brush with death. He has mended well, plays tennis better than ever and is now an active proponent of gun control.

The first item of business comes from NEIL DAY. He and TERRY FRAZIER serve as our outstanding Class Agents. They advise that we have exceeded our Alumni Fund goal, added much to the '57 Scholarship Fund, and a few of our classmates have made exceptional gifts to other funds. It is something that we should all think about, and be as generous as possible in the future. After all, we are the best! Also comes word of the identity of the second "Class of '57 Scholar," Tory Marsh, Class of '97, a fine arts major. She belongs to a semi-pro dance troupe and also finds time to play soccer and softball. We look forward to meeting her. Neil will start his two-year term as 1950's Decade Chair July 1. As Chair, he will oversee and assist all class agents of the '50s in their Alumni Fund class fundraising efforts in addition to the class fund raising he has performed at the Boston phonathons and as a Longwalk Societies Class Agent. The Annual Fund committee is a subcommittee ofTrinity's newly reconstituted Board of Fellows. NORM KAYSER joins the Annual Fund subcommittee of the Board of Fellows on July 1, serving as the Corporations and Foundations Chair. Norm will work to increase corporate and foundation giving to the College. Saturday, Nov. 13, 1993 provided not only a Reunion of the members of the undefeated 19541955 football team, but an opportunity to cheer on this year's undefeated football team, the first since 1955. Classmates present at the Reunion tailgate festivities, game and post-game dinner, in addition to YOUR SECRETARY, included DICK HALL, PAUL RUSSO, and, of course, former coach and

our friend, Karl Kurth and his lovely young wife, Ginny. WARD CURRAN and GERRY CHANNELL, a couple of book ends, enjoyed the day. GEORGE KELLEHER watched his old touchdown record get shattered, but was the first one on the field to congratulate Sean Kirby, the Trinity running back, who broke it. In late afternoon as the shadows fell, out of the thousands of tailgaters, the mist and the smoke, arrived PAUL MARION. After he condu cted a brief prayer service on the 50-yard line, he headed south for New Jersey. DON STOKES and family and FRED TOBIN 'a nd family enjoyed the tailgating festivities with only one minor problem. Long after the game was over and people were departing, the Tobin family left Fred with a car to drive home, but, alas, no keys to start it. Fred was last seen hotwiring the car and speaking in a strange language which I am incapable of repeating. BILL STOUT sends his best to all, but was unable to make Homecoming. MURRAYVARAT is director of cardiology for Health America, an HMO in Pittsburgh, Pa. One of his sons, BEN, graduated from Trinity in '93 and is studying at Boston University. Another son, Patrick, graduated from the University of Michigan and was awarded the University of Michigan fellowship to Oxford ,University where he will spend two years.

FRANK KURY spent two weeks in Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua with a group organized under the auspices of the Center for Global Education in Minnesota. The trip allowed the group to meet people from all levels of society. Frank writes that despite the poverty and the effects of civil war, "we saw signs that the chances for peace and economic development are beginning to appear, however distant they may actually be." Frank and his wife, Beth, followed up with a trip to Poland in September where Frank's mother had a chance to visit with some first cousins. Frank received an award from the Pennsylvania Bar Association for his outstanding work in environmental law. Last, but not least, Frank and Beth's oldest son graduated from Bard College last year.

Hartford. "I think that I saw Bob and his equally wonderful wife, Sally, on relatively few occasions over the last 30 years, but we always shared our news and political philosophies via Christmas letters. Their daughter taught ours how to walk in early 1964 and then I do not think that we saw each other again until our 25th Reunion when we began talking about the same kinds of things that we had back in our Trinity days just as though we had seen each other the previous week. "We last saw Bob and Sally two years ago at which time he seemed great, with the same happy attitude as always. Then, sadly, the 1992 Christmas card told of the recurrence of the cancer. There will not be any more Christmas cards, but I thank God for the memories of history classes together, long philosophical chats, tennis, and penny poker."

I was just beginning to feel comfortable with my computer wh en our operation got up graded. I'm now typing on, unfortunately, a state-of-the-art machine designed for a computer jock just out of Cal Tech ... not a Bantam circa '60. Nonetheless, since my little group is all networked and we are in a technologically advanced type of desktop publishing business, I had no basis to decline the upgrade. Playing on this thing is actually a lot offun .. .I only wish that I had some real time to spend with my avocations and less of a commitment to real work in order that I could enjoy it some more. As luck would have it, a couple of my Trinity tasks fell at the same time for this Reporter. Not only was I "on deadline" for the publication, but I also had to call several of you to try and extract some of those extra dollars each of you is hoarding when, in fact, with a stroke of the pen, you could have

it applied to the current and futu re brilliance of the Trinity experience. BARRY ROYDEN writes from Bangkok where he has been stationed since August serving as special assistant to the Ambassador. In a nice, chatty note, he tells of golfing in an exotic place where all the caddies are female. He reports that even when going to a driving range, out of nowhere, pops up an "on the spot" helper to tee up your next shot. (I can certainly tell that Barry is reporting from a faraway land with a story like that.) Barry also tells us that the family now in place (Michael, Suzy and Jonathan, ages nine, five and three) represents, with bride, Brenda, the full and anticipated complete nest ofBantams. I think I've heard that one before. I had to laugh out loud at one of his passages that I'd like to share with you here: "Bangkok is exotic, teeming with sights and smells... and overcrowded and booming and dirty and exciting. Traffic problems are everywhere and are typified by a traffic cop who recently turned all lights to 'green' at a busy intersection then danced in the ensuing chaos." I'm not certain why Barry included that passage. Most of it sounds like midtown Manhattan any day of the week. In all serious· ness, it is great to hear from you , Barry, and learn a little about your full life and fascinating job. Keep talking to us. Barry's new address is: U.S. Embassy, Bangkok, Box 52, APO AP 96546. He'd like to hear from you.

fessor of Decision Theory, a new, endowed chair at Tulane's A.B. Freeman School of Business. This is a high honor, indeed, Irv, and we all congratulate you for your significant academic contribution for this most recent honor and for a distinguished, but far from over, career in teaching. There are still lots of kudos in store for you, Irv. C ongratulations. Barbara and I saw JACK and Cynthia LAMOTHE in February at their member-guest paddle tournament. Once again, the Stocktons proved to be too heavy to carry, but we had a great time anyway. While there, we saw BUD and Ginna ANDERSON and caught up on some old stories. Just today, I had to try and track down LEE KALCHEIM. T he reason this time was that a fr iend of mine from home is seeking a producer for a play that he has written. I thought that Lee could be a good source of information. Well, trying to track this guy down is an odyssey of its own. Each of several phone numbers for Lee suggested calling a new number/residence and, to quote the phone mail, "neither Lee nor I are at home right now, but you might try us in _ _ ."When I finally did get through, I was talking to Tinsel Town (a.k.a., L.A.) and our hero was out at the Warner Bros. Studios where he was working on some television stuff. Julie tells me that the two of them are having a ball, traveling with their twin sons everywhere. They are putting the fi nishing tou ches on a musical that will be performed later this year in NewYork. Is anyone surprised? Lee, you had this career written all over you since freshman year. In the fall a bunch of us got together (inside the fence) at Trinity prior to the annual final game with our hated and dreaded, but worthy, adversaries from Middletow n. We came into the game with a league-leading (who says NESCAC doesn't have standings?) 7-0 record and Wesleyan came into the game with a single blemish (61) to the Ephmen ofWilliams just the week before. We had not gone undefeated/unti ed since the '55 season and the College showed a lot of class by encouraging that year's team to come back for this tilt. And they came in numbers as, I'll bet, is reported in their notes this issue. It was a terrific day with our Winning a Iaugher, going undefeated, and best of all, allowing n1any of us to catch up and share a glass ofBarbara and Dick's red hot 1lloodies or cold tap beer at the

tailgate party we have been holding on an annual basis for several years now. It was great, as always, to be with old friends once again. It really is a special experience and those of us who were there all enjoyed it immensely. You should really mark your calendars now to be there in th e fall of '94 .. .it's great fun and it gets better each year. Friends are special and they need to be seen to be most appreciated. In the group assembled was NEIL COOGAN enjoying retirement far too much. RAY and Roberta BEECH and BOBBY and Faith JOHNSON had their now annual sumptuous spread including hot mulled cider and "to die for" brownies to go with their sandwiches and assorted goodies. My Barbara cooked 84 pieces of fr ied chicken to go with three gallons of bloodies (at least 25 percent ofwhich wasTabasco sauce), pretzels, chips and a quarter keg of beer supplied by our son. A few scrawny pieces of chicken made it through the fourth quarter, but were eventually consumed by our son and his roommates back at High Rise after the game. It was a great day for all. Jack and Cynthia LaMothe were there, as was their daughter, BARRETT '9 1, looking gorgeous as usual. BOBBY LANGEN joined us at half time having had to play in a mixed paddle tournament during the morning. Parked next to us were BILL and Marlynn SCULLY '61 and a whole bunch of their "younger" friends including DOUG TANSILL '61, SPIKE GUMMERE '61,TONY SANDERS '61, FATZ GRAHAM '63 and JIM WHITTERS '62. FRED FOX was not able to be there, but I caught up w ith him on the phone and had a great talk with him. The Foxes closed up their summer den on Ocean Beach, N.J. just after feasting on turkey (typical of Foxes, don't you think); and have turned their attention back to the business at hand. For Fred, in addition to his successful business, business at hand now includes the final steps in securing his master's degree from U. of Penn. in a general liberal arts program. Way to go, Fred ... sounds terrific. Let us know when you cross the finish line and we'll have a little celebration in your honor. DAVE NARINS and I had a long overdue talk and reminisced and found some mutual friends from our travels. Dave, as many of you know, has a successful urology practice in Westchester County. He also is leading a fascinating

NOTES

personal life and has lots of great stories to share. His wife, Phyllis, is also a physician and one of the country's leading practitioners of liposuction. Dave continues to be super active physically, reporting to me that he's run 60 marathons, including the Boston on 10 occasions. Now, that's impressive. The N arins travel lots - recently to Russia - and are now planning a trip to the Far East. Their two kids are on their way with Valerie (UVM and Columbia Teachers for her master's) teaching at The Town School in New York, and Jonathan (U of Penn. and Columbia Law) working in Russia as that area of the world tries to redefine itself and its mission .You'll be hearing about this boy. DAVE FITZSIMONS is living in Grosse Pointe and is running his own manufacturing company producing automotive after part products. He tells me that he sees BRUCE ROCKWELL from time to time and recently was visited by one ofTrinity's development office people. I wonder what they wanted? Give, everybody, give .. .It's a noble thing to do! BUDDY BERGMANN is still in the great Northwest, either at his big boy home in Seattle, or where his heart is on Vashon Island in the middle of the Sound. That's where his most creative thoughts come from, I'm told. As some of you know, Bud is very involved with the affairs ofTrinity, and the College is fortunate indeed to have such a talent working on the architectural and urban planning issues that face the College. His business is good and his family is fine. The man seems to have it all together. ERNIE HADDAD has had two sons graduate from Trinity (SCOTT '90 and MARK '91), and he tells me that Bart is on schedule for the illustrious Class of '11. That's right folks, Ernie is a new daddy. And as general counsel to one of the country's premier medical facilities, Ernie is keeping just about as busy as a Bantam can be. From the colorful Southwest, KARL KOENIG tells me that his latest book, Gumoil Photographic Printing, will be available in all the better bookstores by the time you read this. (See "Books by Trinity Authors" in this issue.) While the odds are that this book may not be at the top of the New York Times best seller list for more than a couple of dozen weeks, your early and often purchases will be appreciated. To become somewhat serious, Karl developed this photo-

graphic process and this book will serve both students and photographers as a "how to" vehicle in their profession. As reported earlier last year, Karl's life is full and exciting.Just following the paths of his bright and accomplished kids is a full time job for most people. Daughter, LISA '84, has an M. Phil. from Oxford, and is a TV producer for Ted Koppel; daughter, Lynn, Colgate '84, is director of development for the University of New Mexico's libraries; son, Nathan, Harvard, with a law degree from U. of California, is working for an Oakland firm in exotic biotechnology areas; and daughter, Julia, is a senior at Colgate. Not too shabby, Karl. Crisscrossing the continent back to the Northeast, we catch up with MIKEVARBALOW on one of those rare occasions that he is in New Jersey and not cooking up one of his memorable feasts at his place in Nantucket. Every time I talk with Mike, I become more and more convinced that he really is a great cook. We've promised each other to test the menu if we ever are in Nantucket at the same time. BOB and Julia SPAHR continue to be "hard to guard" with their activities. Bob has been an avid fly fisherman for some time now and recently was fishing for the not-so-elusive trout in, I think he told me, New Zealand. (We got so excited talking about the kind of trout he was seeking that I may h ave missed the location.) Anyway, he's been catching lots of rainbow and the big animal browns. Daughter, GINNY '88, is teaching school in Boston, and STEPHANIE '92, is now in Argentina. SAKI GREENWALD and I get together as often as we can in the city and share a burger and beer at whatever local pub will let us in. All seems to be fine with his life and he is in good spirits. He and Cathy continue to live in Manhattan and stay active by playing lots of tennis. I understand that they even play mixed doubles regularly and somehow are still talking to each other. The College tells me that GORDON CLARKE h as recently been named principal, actuarial consulting services at Ernst & Young. I believe Gordon works out of Cleveland. More on that next time. My favorite and most responsive field correspondent, BRUCE STONE, who, as you know, is first vice president-investments at Prudential Securities, tells me that he

I believe that I have reported that information to yo u before. What I just learned, however, is that Dr. Oanh was Prime Minister of South Vietnam back in 1964. Wow! Dr. O anh is now president of his own consultancy, works wi th the government in a variety of capacities and is one of the authors ofVietnam's Laws of Foreign Investment. Over the years Bruce has stayed close to Jack, and it's fascinating for m e to observe this relationship continue by m eans of reading notes and clips of their warm and meaningful correspon路 dence. That's what it's all abo ut, it seems to me. Thanks, Bruce, for sharing your notes. Well, that's going to do it for now. Won't you please write or call me? It not only gets lonely doing all the work, but it is also expensive making all those long-distan ce phone calls. Let me know what's going on and we'll share it in this space next time.

The Trinity Reporter staff is indebted to ED SEIBERT for his photography at the NCAA Division III fi eld hockey championships last fall. Ed's daughter, Elizabeth , played on Coach Robin Sheppard's championship team, and Ed took a team picture of the group at the championships at Coach Sheppard's request. The R eporter used the photo on the cover of the last issue; Ed's daughter is the blonde in the middle of the second row, b ehind the trophy, if you still have the magazine. Ed had only the high est praise for these young women w ho, he says, "in their personal behavior as well as in their athletic achievements, are representingTrinity so well.

A special tribute to SCOTT REYNOLDS was given at the President's Circle dinner last October. H e received the President's Leadership Medal in recognition of his leadership in giving and volunteering his time, wisdom and resources. It is only the second year that this award has been given, and Scott was chosen in recognition of his extraordinary gift to the .,College in these areas. A lot of classmates share my belief that the C lass of '63's remarkable contributions to the College have been, in part, inspired by Scott's leadership and commitment to his fellow classmates over these past 30 years. Scott sent me a card, announcing his new position as assistant to the president, St. Peter's College, Jersey C ity, N.J. I phoned him up . right away and Scott answered th e phone of the president's office. Seems that he is there doing all sorts of things to keep things on the up and up and moving.

Good luck, Scott, on your new position.

Bob 's fa ce, it looked as if the stocks h e had just chosen went south on the big board real quick. Bordogna went on to report that his perception of Anning's plight was reality for him at the time he saw the magazine article - for h e was at that moment in deep pain in his dentist's chair with , most likely, a similar fixed grimace on his mug as Anning's. Bordogna reports that his firm, Todd Investment Advisors, has just been sold to Stifel Financial Corporation of St. Louis. This change

The committee will be updating th e Class soo n, by separate letter, as to the status of this fund. The committee also addressed the opportunity for setting up a core support team for each scholar. The team would be made up of one committee member and two classmates - one from the scholar's hom e area/town and one from the Hartford area. It was recognized that we have done less in this area than planned and such a revision in our thinking should help en hance this part of the scholar program . Current beneficiaries now attending the College are: Kisha Blanchard (senior), Amy Fisher ~unior) , Ellen Kendrick (sophomore) and Ian Sample (freshman) . TONY CANATA '93, w ho graduated last spring, was with us for his first Homecoming. Our annual Homecomin g Saturday evening dinner had a slight program change. VIC KEEN 's illustrious toastmaster's slot was suitably filled by JIM GOODRIDGE, who also chaired th e entire dinner committee this year. It seems that Vic and Jeanne were destined not to come when Vic's new law firm in Philly called a partners' meeting for our Homecoming day. I did learn later th at Vic also successfully completed the N.Y.C. Marathon that weekend. Nonetheless, to Jim's credit and derring-do, he was able to solicit a music sch olar (complete with earplugs) to lead our m erry and wary band through a bunch of old Trinity songs and a few other things that passersby on the Long Walk most likely likened to Roaring '20s musical rhetoric. Most recognized for their presence during this oratory were LARRY ROBERTSON, DON and Paula SMITH, BOB, Elaine and Amy (a Smith sen ior) BORDOGNA.

MIKE MASIUS, whose daughter, Emily, is in her first year at Trinity, also smiled, sang and puffed on his pipe. The cacophony was truly joyous. It was JACK WAGGETT's birthday and we sang to him, too, with some pretty lame, but wellintentioned harmony. MARSHALL BLUME (who had wife, 路 Loretta, and daughter, Caroline, with him) continued to tout his book, Revolution on Wall Street (see "Books by Trinity Authors" in this issue) ... during all this.

BILL CARGILL is w ith the Walgreen Company in Chicago and currently president of the board of directors of the Lawndale Community School. A private elementary school for disadvantaged children in the depressed west side of Chicago, Lawndale was found ed in 1980 and as oflast fall enrolled 40 black, inner-city students from four to 12 years in age. The school's philosophy is that education is a powerful force that can help children break the bonds of despair, and that a sense of selfworth will take them far in life. Walgreen and other companies in the Chicago area are among the supporters of Lawndale. Bill has served on the board for the last six years with evident enthusiasm and delight. Thanks, Bill, for letting us know about your involvem.ent with Lawndale, and keep up the good work! DAVE CARRAD notes that last Memorial Day he was a proud participant in the Vietnam veterans' protest against President Clinton's appearance at the Vietnam Memorial in Washington. Dave contributed an account of the protest and his own involvement in it to th e August 1993 issu e of American Spectator magazine under the title "Memorial Day on Hill 1969 ."The article was subsequently reprinted in Soldier of Fortune magazine. Dave was drafted in 1966 and served w ith the U.S. Army in Vietnam from 1968 to 1969 as a company commander and an ARVN (South Vietnamese Army Adviser). Dave's life as a corporate lawyer in Delaware "continues in a very mundane fashion" and h e hopes to attend our 30th Reunion in '95. In early January, I spotted DAVE DEUTSCH's name as director for an "Evening At The White House," a production for PBS by television station WETA in Washington. It was a most entertaining show presented in cabaret style and appeared on CPTV in Hartford. LEON SHILTON has been . promoted to associate professor (with tenure) at Fordham University, faculty of busin ess. He serves on two editorial boards and has published over 25 academic and professional articles on real estate finance. H e serves on the Natioiul Bureau of Real Estate Research

which is developing the standards for the professional designation of Chartered Real Estate Analysts. The two oldest ofhis five children are completing their junior years - one at Dartmouth and the other at U.S. C.

We were 20. He was 27 or 28. We were students. He was our professor. We were planning on graduating from Trinity; he already had. For the last 25 years we have been loyal to Trinity as interested alumni, but he has been more loyal, as a teacher, dean, and friend of students. In the '60s we called him Professor. Now, and it seems strange, we call him Bordie. A true son ofTrinity, the Rev. Dr. Borden Painter, our history teacher, is now interim President of Trinity College. Once again, we have a great President at the College. Give Bordie your support and ideas.

Graves wins praise for handling of a tough job The Hon. Ray R. Graves '67, chief judge of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Eastern District of Michigan, was inducted into the American College ofBankruptcy in a ceremony at the D.S. Supreme Court Great Hall. The College was established to honor and recognize bankruptcy professionals. Graves has been a bankruptcy judge since 1981, when a U.S. District Judge approached him about a bankruptcy court post. He presides over a courtroom where sometimes every seat is occupied and where a single case can occupy him from nine in the morning until after ten at night. His most famous case is probably the De Lorean Motor Co., where the directory of documents was more than a foot thick, and attorneys' fees ran into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. According to The Detroit Free Press, lawyers who have appeared before Graves have said: "He's got the ability to cut through five or six hours of argument and get to the heart of the matter;" and "My experience with Judge Graves was with a case that had been sitting on other judges' dockets for 10 years. Within a few months, Graves had a plan to get the company moving again."

(For all of you who are worried someone will expose your history grades when you took Dr. Painter's classes, rest easy. YOUR SECRETARY has the files ... your reputations are safe, no one will ever tell. Quick now, TOM SANDERS and DUFF TYLER, when was the War of 1812?) The Trustees have selected a search committee to find and recommend someone to lead Trinity for the next decade. As you can imagine, with one exception, the Trustees are a level-headed, adult, reflective group. In addition to the criteria the search committee will use when finding a new president, the suggestions received from the honorable Class of 1967 must be considered. Here are some of the printable suggestions your classmates have offered to help choose a new president: 1. No candidate with a permanent S.E.G. on face should be considered. 2. When asked, "what books have you read recently," two-word titles, such as Killer Bees or Dirty Dozen, count more than those highbrow books with long titles.

3. We don't want a racist, sexist, ageist, etc.; but an arseist is o.k. Keep those thoughtful suggestions coming. And the winner is .. .JACK CURTIS. Jack was so upset last year that he was not the clear winner of the "oldest new father" in the Class (ALEX LEVI claimed the same) that he and Helen brought forth the beautiful Caroline Alice last December. Qack, in his lust for the old daddy trophy, claimed the date of Caroline's birth as Dec. 16, 1994. A lawyer's trick to predate a birth, but by a whole year? Nothing gets by this columnist.) Helen is a 1978 University of California graduate. Perhaps someone should explain to old Jack that when you marry a much younger woman, new babies - this is their second daughter sometimes happen. When Caroline graduates from Trinity, Jack will be waving his trophy vigorously. You may congratulate Jack by calling 415-325-9 145, or fax to 415- 3253301 . RUSS PARKER has gone to California! Like many high-tech engineers (Hewlett Packard for 18 years), Russ accurately predicted

the big San Francisco earthquake, and moved out West just in time to shake, rattle, and roll. Russ married the girl four houses down on his street and together they've had two kids. (For those politically correct readers "girl" is a Russ word, and to this politically incorrect scribe, is a wonderful, young, lively description.) The Parker legacy needs further investigation. Just recently the whole family, seven kids from multiple marriages, slept under the same roof for the first time. Since the Parker house has three bedrooms we're talking family bonding up close and personal. This tangled web will be unraveled in a future column. While at Hewlett Packard, Russ has been a chemist, medical product design engineer, and now is working in the integrated circuit R&D center in Palo Alto. Russ is going to call Jack Curtis to discuss children, and if you have advice on earthquakes give Russ a call at 415-857-150 1. Ahoy maties, the MCLEANs (MIKE and Faith) have finally dropped anchor at 113 High 路 Street, Somersworth, N .H . 03878, They are spending a lot of time and money fixing up their new quarters, particularly the galley and heads. T here is always a sleeping berth for a visiting classmate, and perhaps a bit of grog. That's about the end of Navy talk, but if you wish to discuss more tales from Davey Jones' Locker call Mike at 603-692-4648. Everyone is supposed to believe a judge, especially a judge who is a biggie in the Church. But when the judge is a classmate of ours , we investigate everything. RAY GRAVES was, in fact, elected to the Vestry of Christ Episcopal Church in Grosse Pointe Farms, Mich. Being elected to the vestry is akin to a board of directors ... for those few of you w ho didn 't know. The Graves' grip on Detroit tightens: Lola joined the board of trustees of Bon Secours Hospital of Michigan. Ray claims that GEOFF SAWYER visited from Delaware. We have not been able to track Geoff down and get any gossip on the Graves family. Geoff has changed jobs, and we're not up - to- date as yet. Ray reminded Geoff, who is a lot older than the rest of us, that Geoff turns 50 in 1994, and has seen 11 U.S. presidents during his young life. You can reach the Honorable Ray at 313-226-7077, or fax nasty notes to 313-226-2211. Trinity's influence on Bon Secours Hospital of Michigan includes not only Lola Graves, but

also MIKE FITZSIMONS. Mike, too, is a tru stee. With the cost of health care soaring for business, Mike, who is president of Copper and Brass Sales, Inc. in Detroit, wants to see firsthand where all the money is going. Mike and Marjorie are still shepherding children through college and high school. Mike's oldest daughter is working in New York, Colin is a student at Trinity, and two daughters are at Taft and Deerfield. Let's hope the FitzSimons family continu es to atend Trinity. Mike is managing a big company, and business is good. If you wish to discuss commodity h edging in copper futures, give Mike a call at 313-775-7710. One ofTrinity's most indefatigable supporters (look it up; I looked up "vestry" ), CHARLEY KURZ used his considerable influence to get his daughter, Katie, to visit campus. Charley figures that if Katie chooses Trinity, he will have more opportunities to go to Hartford and stay in touch. Charley's son, Chad, is in middle school where he excels in sports and sportsmanship. The family shipping business is challenged by the global recession, but Charley's active management will insure continued success and prosperity. Charley's busy life is a mix of business, church, civic involvement, and family. He continues to serve on the board of managers at Old Pine Community Center, as president of the Friends of 0 ld Pine Street, and as an elder at Gladwyne Presbyterian Church. If you did not receive Charley's year-end Christmas letter, you may want to give him a call to catch up on some personal issues. Charley can be reach ed at his office (215-9282836) or at his new digs in Ardmore, Pa. (610-649-7839). We have learned that DONALD M. BISHOP, a foreign service officer with the U.S. Information Agency, has been assigned to the position of counselor for public affairs at the American Embassy in Dhaka, Bangladesh. If yo ur place of wo rk is a bike ride away from Trinity, or on a bus route from Trinity, or within the range of a car you wouldn't touch unless your shots are up to date, then consider Trinity's internship program.

Hayward appointed to university post In his new position as vice president and university secretary of the University of Delaware, Pierre D. Hayward '70 serves as staff officer to the University's board of trustees and to University President David P. Roselle. Prior to joining the University's senior management team, Hayward was senior vice president and corporate affairs division manager at Delaware Trust Co. in Wilmington, Del. His community service includes serving on the boards of the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce, the Delaware Bankers Association and the Grand Opera House. He is past president of the Delaware chapter of the American Heart Association, a trustee of the Wilmington Medical Center and of Goldey Beacom College, and is the New Castle County finance co-chairperson of the Republican State Committee. Hayward earned his B.A. degree in history and served in the Air Force in Vietnam during 1971 and 1972.

Trinity kids are good, and they need the experience. Call the College and offer an internship: everyone benefits. Underscoring the Trinity students' interest in careers, particularly business, was the standingroom-only audience that greeted CHARLIE PERRIN on his recent visit to the campus. Charlie was the star of the show on a panel discussion entitled "From Trinity College to Corporate America." Charlie is president ofDuracell International and is certainly qualified to give real world advice on how to succeed in business. Let's keep our business in the family: only buy batteries with the Copper Top. JESSE BREWER is entering this year's Iditarod dog sled race. He is planning to use his vaunted long-distance running skills to personally train his dogs. We all wish Jesse luck in the Yukon. BOB BRICKLEY adds another guru designation to his illustrious resume. He is now an expert trainer of Stephen Covey's bestseller philosophy, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Probably for a tidy sum Bob can be bought. He also let us know that BOB MOORE, still domiciled in Portland, Maine, is working on a

group biography of certain classmates. The title: The 7 Habits of Happily Defective People. The next time you visit the campus you can leave your Miracle Ears at home. GIL CAMPBELL has agreed, after much pleading and cajoling, to become a visiting professor of carilloning. The class will be open only to alumni for whom the bell tolls. In a recent city-wide pageant the good folks of San Antonio staged a bicentennial celebration highlighting their colorful history. According to eyewitnesses and house guests, the guy who stole the show was our own DAVE GORDON who facsimiled frontiersman Davey Crockett. It may or may not be true, and our sources are decidedly untrustworthy, but San Antonio rumor has it that Dave's wife, Jayne, is coming out with a line of designer buckskin mini-skirts.

Reed wins coveted Guggenheim Psychologist Edward S. Reed '75 has been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship for 1994- 9 5. This year 147 recipients were selected from among 3157 applicants for awards totaling $4.07 million. Guggenheim Fellows are appointed on the basis of"unusually distinguished achievement in the past and exceptional promise for future accomplishment," according to the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation's committee of selection. An associate professor of psychology at Franklin & Marshall College, Reed will use his Guggenheim Fellowship to complete a book on Ecologizing psychology. The book will integrate several lines of research and argument in the area of ecological psychology into a single connected essay written for a broad audience. "Throughout my career, I have aspired to be the kind of interdisciplinary researcher and thinker whose ideas make a difference to people working in particular disciplines," Reed said. "Although my research has always had a multidisciplinary perspective, I have worked hard to guarantee that it is accepted as 'solid' within the relevant disciplines." Reed received his bachelor's in evolutionary epistemology from Trinity, his master's in biological psychology from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland and his Ph.D. in philosophy from Boston University. 路 Among his recent grants and honors are a National Endowment for the Humanities Leadership Opportunities in Science and Education grant and a McDonnell-Pew Grant in the Neurosciences. He received a Mary Switzer Research Fellowship and was a visiting professor at Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences in Paris earlier this year. Associate editor of Ecological Psychology, he is the author ofJames J Gibson and the Psychology of Perception and Knowledge and Values: Their Development and Interrelation (with E. Brown and E.

NOTES

Duncan wins architectural awards

David Duncan '79 was project architect for a commercial building in Washington, D. C. that won four major awards. "It's nice to win design awards," he demurs, "but also nice to have a building that's well-put together." 800 ~orth Capitol Street, Nw, a 450,000 square-foot office/retail building, was cited for awards by The American Institute of Architects, Washington, D.C. chapter; Associated Builders & Contractors; Architectural Precast Association; and American Institute of Architects/Brick Institute of America. At the time Duncan was project architect for the North Capitol Street commission, he was with Hartman-Cox Architects ofWashington. In September of 1991, he founded Needham Duncan Architecture in Mystic, Conn. The Washington project was unique, Duncan says, in that it was a free-standing building in the city, interspersed among other mixed-use commercial and government buildings, along with some residential properties. Though the construction process involved 14 floors, the process was "incredibly rapid," completed in a year. "A building should be part of the fabric of the city. In this case, many nearby buildings were brick, some with arches and other rich detailing, so we took the best of those. Obviously, the building has to function well, and it does. We hope that the building works on all levels." Duncan's work on the North Capitol Street building followed the same approach as all his commissions. "You start from the overall perspective, what the city and site look like, and the client's aspirations," he says. "Then there are all the practical elements, how the structure works, along with all the other technical aspects and so forth . You work back and forth, hopefully imbue it with some nice architectural ideas, and

the building takes on a life of its own. The details look either right or wrong against the framework you've established at the outset. It is a collaborative effort. There were many talented people in Hartman & Cox who would come by and put their two cents in. If a problem comes up - well, if you designed it, you can design your way out of it. "Regardless of the size or complexity of the project," he says, ''among the most important things the client should expect from an architect are to be carefully listened to, and to receive personal attention and guidance to realize the greatest potential in even the smallest of projects." To that end, Duncan has worked on small projects renovations and additions to houses ranging from 18th-century colonial to a 1. 980s Georgian reproduction - to commercial, including a state-of-the-art shellfish cleansing facility in West Mystic, Conn. His institutional consultations in his new firm have included Old Sturbridge Village and Mystic Marinehfe Aquarium; while in Washington, he was involved in work for the Washington National Airport, and the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorial restorations. Now, in his own firm he'd like to build up the institutional and commercial commissions as well as continue with residential works. A native ofTolland, Conn., Duncan knew he wanted to be an architect when he came to Trinity. A President's Fellow in art history, he took chemistry and math and physics as well. "I tried to get a broad-based education. I didn't go I wanted to the Rome program to take Dave Wooda;rd's architecture course. I did an internship in his office, and he helped me put my portfolio together. I respect him tremendously. He's been a continuing mentor." Duncan's wife, Susie Saltonstall

'79, has her own marketing and management consulting firm for law firms, based in Mystic. "We didn't know each other at all at Trinity;' he says. "We met at an alumni club event at architect Win Faulkner's house. We were married in the Trinity Chapel in 1987 ." The two have collaborated on a fundraiser for Mystic Aquarium called Ocean Commotion, as well as son Nat, fom:, and twins Gordon and Wesley, aged one. The coqple made the move from Washington to New England at great personal cost, leaving behind many friends and giving up ease of doing business and, in David's case, work at a wellknown Washington firm. "But, we are New Englanders and it was difficult to feel we had a stake in things there. We had to set down

roots, and we were looking for a place where our kids could be kids as long as possible," he says. Beyond his commissioned works, Duncan has done on-site labor and designed the renovation of a house in New London, purchased by Habitat for Humanity for $1. "You work with the family targeted to live in the house and design for their needs, and the family puts in their own work equity. I can fit it in here and there, and it's nice to be able to give back a little.'' {I} A private residence in Sandwich, Mass., designed in the "shingle-style" vernacular within an historic district; {below} the award-winning BOO North Capitol Street in Washington, D.C.

I flipped to CBS: "And now from our station in Washington, D.C., here's TOPPER SHUTT." And there, in a Santa hat was Topper Shutt. I ran screaming in to tell my sleeping husband. "It's Topper Shutt on TV! He's doing the weather! I went to school with him!" He peels an eye, rolls over and says, "Topper Shutt the door." Topper, I am truly impressed.

On Feb. 16, I attended a rather stylish reunion of the art history department alumni, hosted by the art history faculty, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. CHARLES MCGILL '63 on Park Avenue, N.Y.C. It was a reception to announce the expansion of the Friends of Art as a national organization. Great idea. When we were in school, the Friends made possible lectures, exhibitions, etc. Now, as alums, we can contribute to the Friends' work and benefit from museum visits and lectures twice a year in N.Y. C. or D.C. Attending from the Class of '81 were JIM CORVINO and his lovely wife of three years, Michaeleen.Jim runs his own computer consulting company, The Data Bar, Inc., and does a reverse commute from Manhattan to Connecticut. By the time I finished grilling Jim, MARION DAVIS was in the elevator and I missed the chance to report on her. Maybe she'll send me a letter? It was good to hear that the art history department is enjoying enormous popularity, drawing as many majors as the ever-popular American studies and biology. Other news that drew gasps was that new technology will replace slide slopes with a computer network that will allow students to call up images on the computer screens in their dorms. Egad! And me?

Patriot-News/Sandy Cullen

''Quilter shuns traditional techniques'' Non-geometric works rtjlect break with historic constraints on women

or more than a century, the rigid structure of women's lives has been reflected in the precise geometric patterns of the traditional quilts they sewed. Candace H ackett Shively has literally cut throu gh these constraints to reveal th e surging life that lies beneath the covering of control. In her quilts, on view in the Gallery Lounge at Penn State Harrisburg, fluid forms burst through ordered grids and patterns, and free-flowing chasms break up unyielding straight and narrow lines . Quilts are normally associated with women's experience of domesti c life, but usually not in the way Shively's are. Shively takes the traditionally domestic medium and turns it upside down, digging through layers both actual and metaphoric. "There are things about domestic life that are really alluring," said Shively, a married mother of two. But along with the appeal of domesticity are the confines of schedules and

of" doing it right," she said. While quilts have historically been a creative outlet for women, they have also been a means of domesticating them- "You had to have 12 done before you were married"- said Shively, who likes "playing w ith the double directions th at quilts have." Shively is not the first to break through the bindings of the quilt tradition. But unlike some contemporary quilters who want to sever any relationship between art quilts and their traditional predecessors, Shively is intent on preserving th e richness of that lineage. "Quilts have all these things in their histo ry," sh e said. "Quilts have so many connotations to them. There are so many connections in them." Rather than denying the heritage and significance of traditional quilts, Shively is using the qu ilt medium to explore the depths of women's experiences. Her Penn State Harrisburg exhibit, a creative production for a master's <C!egree in humanities, is called "Voyage Into the Subliminal Sea." The "subliminal sea," Shively said, is w hat feminist philosopher Mary Daly describes as "a flow of very deeply underlying experiences women have together that have been buried by all we have to contend with, including the fragmentation of daily life." In Shively's most powerful and disturbing work, titled "Within," a ground of red-and-white pieced fabr ic has been unzipped to reveal a blue sea of faces buried beneath the quilt patches.

"They're held back," Shively said of the emerging faces. Speckled fabric used for the zipper pull and teeth resembles stone, suggesting grave markers or a crypt. The work's red-white-andblue color scheme, as well as its composition, recalls an American flag. And th e red-and-white pattern is reminiscent of a traditional, two-color quilt - but the pieces do not match up to form a regular pattern. " I intentionally fractured them," Shively said. "I think there's something about the precision of quilts that has attracted women. It might be a control thing," she said, adding their quilts might have been the only thing women had control over in th eir lives. " ! like the sense of control, but that piece taught me a lot about control," Shively said. " I learned that I just have to give it up," she said, adding, "It's really frightening to do that." Shively unintentionally lost control of the piece when sh e sub merged it in water to wash out the temporary quilting lines. Earlier, she had selectively bleach ed areas on the top, or front, of the piece, and the water caused the red fabric to bleed again, staining the white backing. "At first, I panicked," said Shively, w ho then saw that the bleeding actually enhanced the quilted faces of women on the back of the piece. In text accompanying the piece, hung so both sides can be viewed, Shively writes, " I cannot hang this piece to cover them against a wall." T he very language of quilting is filled with ironies, Shively said, adding, "A lot of the terms used in quilting, feminists would say, 'This is w hat's been happening to women ."' For instance, traditional quilts are surrounded by a "binding." Shively's "Self- Portrait," however, has no binding. Its edges are unfinished, with loose threads dangling. Shively, who had been sewing since sh e was about

11 years old, made h er first traditional quilt during the en ergy crisis of 1977 out of scraps her mother had been saving for years. " I knew where every single piece of fabric had com e from," Shively said, addin g, " It's got to have 400 different fabrics in it." But a lot more than fabric is sewn into a quilt. Tears still come to Shively's eyes when she recalls everything that was happening in h er life during the time she was working on the quilt. Shively, who for several years had a home-based children's clothing business in Pittsburgh, began doing non-traditional quilts after moving to the area. "I had seen so many Amish quilts," she said. After making one quilt in traditional Amish colors, Shively literally cut away sections of the geometric pattern and replaced them with organic forms. The resulting work, "Bleeding Colors," is included in the exhibit. Also in the exhibit is the piece that initiated the body of work on display, "Surreal Play," w hich also has organic forms breaking through a grid of fabric pieces stained with color and drawn on with marks and stitching. "Over a year after the 'Surreal Play,"' Shively writes, "I realized w hy I wanted to cut through to let these living shapes out. I was beginning to let myself out." The quilt-making process, which involves piecing together fragments of fabric to m ake a w hole, provides another metaphor for women w hose lives are fragmented. " I have lots of people in my life who know pieces of me," said Shively - a wife, mother, teacher and student. Through her quilts, which draw on all asp ects of her life experience, it seems Shively is made whole. " I guess I'm telling people there's all these layers there," she said, "but I don't kn ow w hat they all. are."

ANITA YERANIAN will be married (see Engagements) to marine staff sergeant, John Edward Fisher, who was in the Vietnam conflict.

Greetings. This will be the last chance I have before our 1Oth (gulp!) Reunion to encourage you to get out your old yearbook, reacquaint yourself with some old familiar faces, and hop in a car, on a bus, train or plane, and get yourself to Hartford for w hat will be a great weekend! Organizing for the 1Oth Reunion has been fun - it's been a great chance to catch up with some people on the phone. I've also received a few notes in the last several months. KARENWEBBER GILAT wrote from Omaha - her note just exuded excitement. Karen and her husband, Ronen, recently welcomed a new son, Zeev, into their little family. But before I tell yo u about Zeev, a word or two about Ronen ... he grew up in Israel and "found his way to the States" nine years ago. He works at Industrial Label Corporation as a mechanical engineer. When he's not designing, fixing or thinking about things at work, h e spends time doing nature photography. Zeev was born last August and his name means "radiance" or "splendor" in Hebrew. Other than spending a lot of time with her son (most of it while they're both awake!), Karen reports that she loves being a cantor and is continuing to study voice. I spoke with MARTHA CROSS STEWART. She sounded great- she told me she'd try to make our Reunion but she'll be eight-plus months pregnant. (As far as I'm concerned, that's the only valid excuse for missing our great celebration!) Martha is busy working and planning her new home. Her husband is in the construction business and they are

working on a house for themselves. Sounds spectacular! She gets together with a lot of our classmates. Can you belive MARC SELVERSTONE is out of the East - I would never have put odds on his settling in the Midwest for longer than a weekend. Anyway, you can find him in Athens, Ohio, where he is pursuing a docorate. I'm not sure of the exact field of study, but basically, it's international relations. We had a chat while he was finishing up a paper for a class which started 20 minutes after we hung up. And I thought we were done with that 10 years ago. Wow. Anyway, he sounds great, as always. NICK DEPPEN's big news is his marriage to Alexa Berlow, whom he met at Trinity (she transferred to B.U. for her junior year). The big event was in Buffalo, N.Y., and the reception was in Canada. Unfortunately, there isn't a Trinity picture, but the ole' alma mater was very well represented. Attending from '84 were RICH SCHIEFERDECKER (possibly the longest name in our class), MARK GUTHRIE, STEVE MOHEBAN and LAURA RAMSEY. I hope one of the guests will drop me a note and give me the real scoop! Nick and Alexa enjoyed a great honeymoon in Ecuador, which included a trip to the Galapagos Islands. Nick reports that he and Alexa love Seattle and plan to stay there until STEVE PICCUS '86 gives them both jobs delivering pizza in rural China . ALISON LIMPITLAW LIGHT also sent lots of news. She's been married since 1988, and had a son, Alexander, in the fall of '92. Before her son's birth, Alison was working at Cahners Publishing Company in New York. Since Alex was born, she's been a stay-at-home mom. She reports that last August she visited SUSAN MANLOVE PARTRIDGE at Susan's home in Paris and they wondered what all their Trinity friends were up to. They request the presence of the following at our Reunion: RANDY NARGI, BARBARA GUTTMAN, CATHY MARONA,JANICE ANDERSON, LAURA LEDBETTER and ALEX JOHNSON. Susan, her husband, Marc, and daughter, Caroline, have, by the way, lived in Paris for the past three years. Caroline was joined by a little sister, Marie Claire, late last year. When she's not busy with her daughters, Susan teaches English as a second language. Susan is definitely in con-

tention for the "traveled the farthest'' award at our Reunion. The challenge is on, so we hope to see lots of our international classmates! Alison also reports that SUSAN GREENE is living in New York City and playing a lot of squash. She recently traveled to Israel to represent the U.S. in the Maccabean Games and her team won a silver medal. Congratulations! Cathy Marona moved to Washington, D.C. after a stint with the Peace Corps in Nepal. Finally, Alex Johnson is my neighbor here in the City of Broad Shoulders, where he works as an attorney for the city. A nice note from AMY SNYDER FORMAN reported her big news: the birth of her second son, Ethan Charles, in August! Boy, I hope to see a lot ofbabies at the Reunion. Besides Amy, new parents are DALE SINDELL, who had a baby, Daniel, and KATE VANWAGENEN, w ho recently became a mom to a daughter, Cara. The grapevine tells me that TIM RAY is also a recent dad out in Portland, Ore. DEBORAH VINNICK TESLER has just joined a pediatrics practice in Brookline, Mass., called Centre Pediatrics. All you new parents in the Boston area should check it out. Debby expects to be at our 10th Reunion. In the marriage department, MICHELE ROSNER and Bill Saunders are going to be wed in March. You may remember "Billy" from when he visited his sister, LORRAINE, at Trinity. I certainly do ... and now Lorraine and Michele will be officially related. Congratulations also to LIZ LYNCHVALICENTI and her husband, Dale, on their November wedding. Liz sent a card back to Trinity letting us know that she's living in Quincy, Mass. and is working at Titleist and Foot-Joy. I was walking through Central Park in September and ran into a mutual friend of mine and ANNIE MATHIASEN. This friend was off the next weekend to Annie's wedding. I don't have details, but am looking forward to hearing them from the Trinity folks I know were there. TODD KNUTSON and I talked last week. H e and Anne have been in Pittsburgh since he finished at Darden. They were anxiously awaiting the birth of their first child. When not planning surprise birthday parties for Anne, Todd is busy working in international marketing. A few weeks ago, KEVIN O'CONNOR blew into town.

You know, that guy ought to take on Chicago politics . Anyway, he's a lawyer now in Boston at Ropes & Gray, with possibly the best representation of men from Trinity '84 of any place of employment. He often wanders the halls and runs into colleagues and classmates BRYAN CHEGWIDDEN, KURT KUSIAK and DAVE LUCEY. If I ever get in legal trouble in Boston, I'll know where to go! BRUCE NEWMAN wrote that he completed his summer assignment as tennis director at a hotel near Davos, Switzerland. This winter, he'll be running the tennis program at a Hyatt Hotel in Puerto Rico. His company, Peter Burwash International, manages and markets tennis programs at luxury hotels and resorts in 20 countries . And, I must say, the thought of it makes me quite jealous! Late-breaking news from the alumni office: NICHOLAS DEPPEN works for Data l/0 Corp. in Redmond, Wash. In the Feb. 3, 1994 edition of The Patriot Ledger of Dedham, Mass. is an article telling about a new company created by STEVE DONAGHY '85 and BARCLAY HANSEN. It's called AquaHealth and involves a five-step filtering system that they say turns any restaurant's tap water into a "better-than-bottled" beverage. LISA KLEMES practices dentistry wi th her fa th er, John, in Hartford. ANDREW LIEBERMAN has been named vice president/media director at Decker Rickard in Glastonbury, Conn. JOYCE FRYKLUND THORMANN writes, "We are still living in Paris. I just spent two and onehalf years at home with my girlsElisabeth who is five and AnneCharlotte who is two and onehalf. In December 1993 I returned to my old job at J.P. Morgan where I am head of client services. Sorry I can't make it to reunion, but I send a big hello to everyone." CATHERINE WRIGHT works for Falcon Press Publishing in Helena, Mont. That's all from the Great Midwest. I'm currently negotiating with Trinity to have my hot dog stand at the Reunion. I'll see you there one way or another! Jane Melvin Mattoon Apt. #1N, 2535 N. Orchard St. Chicago, Ill. 60614 Reunion Chairs: Madelaine Lynch Makin Jane Melvin Mattoon

I'm back after a short lapse into secretarial delinquency. I was distracted by... well, let's just say I've had my fill of college admission essays. (I read 1 ,200 applications in seven weeks .) I'm now blind and have a huge callous on my right thumb from holding my pencil too tightly. It's an affliction I've endured since kindergarten; dear old Miss Powers never could get me to stop ciutching that damn crayon so tightly... but I digress. The good thing about skipping an issue is the wealth of news that accumulates in th e interlude, although some news is now woefully, embarrassingly old (so I guess it's not "news") . First up by reason of seniority is CARY ALLEN, whose letter has awaited publication since Ju ne 11, 1993. I quiver with embarrassment at that faux pas; impeachment may be debated . Cary and fami ly are alive and we ll (or at least they were a year ago ... ) in Hobe Sound, Fla. He is a vice president for commercial real estate lending at Sun Bank/Treasure Coast and may have the oldest child in our midst; daughter, Victoria, is now six and starts first grade in the fall. Her brother, Maxwell, is now two. Sounds like daddy-hood agrees with Cary. Banking is the career theme

this time. In addition to Cary's prominence in th e South Florida financial sector, several other classmates an nounce news on the banking front . DAVID SHERR ILL made a big move from H artford to West H artford last year; he is a vice president in the credit risk contro l department at Shawmut Bank. Dave is also a relative newlywed, having married Jennifer Redmond, a Vassar alum and herâ&#x20AC;˘self a Trinity offspring, in June 1993 . She's an assistant veep at rival Fleet Bank , which sounds like it makes for in teresting pillow talk . VP #3 is TIM WALSH. Chase Manhattan transferred him from New York to London, where he's vice president in Chase's merchant banking group in Europe. Settled in northern London, Tim and his w ife welcomed a n ew son, Connor Stephen John Walsh, on July 15, 1993. His daughter, Allison, is almost three. Westward ho, these three banking veeps are joined by a president and another refugee from New York. TRIC IA MAXON runs the show at First National Bank of Telluride, w hich she says is "a tiny little Colorado bank with only $15 million in assets."Trish and "some Denver folks" formed the bank last year. I'm sure this will come as a huge shock, but Trish reports life in Telluride - w ith an office overlooking the ski slopes - as being "so much better" than New York C ity. Well, I suppose that's open to aesthetic impression, but remember, Trish does originally hail from the cheese state. Anyway, our ru-

rally inclined fri end got married April 9 - the last week of ski season, of course - to a marketing and sales rep for a ski company. Very tidy, in deed. A few more yuppie updates to report. BILL DETWILER is a law clerk at the United States District Court for th e Middle District of Pennsylvania, quite a mouthful for a business card. Farther so uth, DR. HOWARD SADINSKY is a pediatrician stationed at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. H oward sports a great tan and reports "incredible scuba diving." In the land of the preps, MARTHA ERSKINE teaches English at Friends Acadmey in New York and muses that some of her students soon may be Trinitybound. And closer to alma mater, KATHI O 'CO NNOR BOELHOUWER was promoted from campaign director to director of development at Miss Porter's School. There are a few more bundles of joy (or piles of diapers, depending on yo ur perspective) to report. KAREN REFALVY LEJEAL gave birth to her second son, Ryan Murphy, three weeks early on D ec. 7, 1993. Karen notes Ryan's debut earned a place in the record books: he was the largest pre-term baby ever born at their hospital. The little linebacker weighed in at eight pounds, four ounces, which makes me think Karen sho uld be happy that R yan was early. Karen also announces two more alumni babies: MELISSA BROWN NEUBAUER had a baby girl,

H aley N icole, last August and ROBIN BOWMAR RABIDEAU welcomed her third son in October. BONNIE ADAMS CONNORS offers her first share of alumni news in the nine years since we graduated. Bonnie received an M.B.A. from Kellogg in 1992, married Jim Connors (Colgate '84) the following September, and settled in the Chicago suburbs. She says "th e golf and the lake are great when the weather is not sub-zero." I bet. Bonnie left her job as a marketing director at Baxter H ealthcare and returned to her dad's textile business to "hawk polyester," as she so pithily puts it. She develops new business (sorry, Bonnie, I buy cotton!) and manages a j oint venture company in China. Bonnie reports that NANCY M CKEOWN is still a legal eagle in D.C. but is eyeing a marketing position in H ong Kong with Samsonite. LOUISE WILLIAMS SENOPOULOS moved to Holland to grow tulips (is this fo r real?). My suspicions accordingly piqued, Bonnie says VICTORIA ARVANITIS jumped out of an airplane to celebrate her 30th birthday. " Incidentally," sh e queries, " how does everyone feel about turning 30?" Good question. Please reply to YOURS TRULY w ith any philosophical views on thirty-something-land . Finally, I have news from overseas. After backpacking around the world with her beau in tow for the las t two years, BETH BARNETT CUMMINGS writes from Hong Kong w ith news of h er M ay 1993, New Zealand weddin g to C hris Cummings. Beth and Chris spent over a year in Asia, visiting India, N epal, C hina, and Vietnam and decided to stay in Southeast Asia for a while. Beth is pursuing a career in the arts. And not far from Hong Kong (relatively speaking), my "Where in the World Is..." feature actually found someone: DOUG WEISBURGER responded fro m Papua, New Guinea, wh ere h e and his wife are Peace Corps volunteers. (Yes, I am fee ling kind of proud of myself, thank you very much.) I quote verbatim from Doug's letter: "We're very much enjoying our stint here in this beautiful, rugged country in the South Pacific. We live in a remote village in the eastern highlands province in the midst of a vast rainforest. We're involved in a myriad of projects including fish farming, health edu cation, small business development (we're trying

Sonia Plumb's company soars y the time Sonia Plumb '85 celebrated her fourth anniversary this year as artistic director of the Sonia Plumb Dance Company, she had achieved what every artist needs to continue to thrive: a growing number of fans, good reviews from critics and funding from foundations. The Hartford Courant's dance critic described Plumb, who earned her B.A. degree in theater and dance, as "prodigiously gifted" ...and "with a powerful sense of theater." Plumb has choeographed more than 15 works for her company of eight dancers. Artists from Trinity who have danced with her company are Lisa Matias Serrambana '90 and New York-based dancer Laura Martin '88; guest artist Douglas Boulivar is guest lecturer in dance at Trinity. Plumb's work has been showcased in New Dance/New Haven, Dance Services Network and A New Generation ofDance at the State University ofNewYork at Purchase. Recently, the company premiered three n ew works choreographed by Plumb, "Bach-analia," a piece set to J.S. Bach's Concerto for Harpsichord in F Major, "Tripping Over the Edge," and "Wild Woman." The Sonia Plumb Dance Company has received funding from the Connecticut Commission on the Arts, the]. Walton Bissell Foundation and the Harkness Foundation. to develop an artifact cooperative as well as start a butterfly ranch), adult literacy, crocheting and sewing, and conservation edu cation.

WordPerfect is helpful, but c'mon ... As a closing note, I should warn you all that operatives from the alumni and development office have m ade initial contact with me about our upcoming lOth Reunion in 1995. It's closer than it seems. As one of our three Class officers, I'll be tapp ed to start the m assive organizational ball rolling in the next few months. If anyone is interested in helping out, drop me a note or give m e a call at home (203) 535-4756. I'm also open to ideas about programming events for the weekend party. That's all for now. Bye. News received in the alumni office: CHRIS HEEKIN is engaged and being married in Stockholm in August. In the Feb. 3, 1994 edition of Th e Patriot Ledger of D edham, Mass. is an article telling about a new company created by STEVE , DONAGHY and BARCLAY HANSEN '84. It's called AquaHealth and involves a five-step filtering system that they say turns any restaurant's tap water into a "better- than-bottled" beverage. LAURA ALDERSON, w ho recently m arried Peter Rotondo, is a facilitator at H amilton Standard in Windsor Locks, Conn. After six years, CATHY DION EDDLEM has taken a break from teaching public school in Milton , Mass . She j oined Kimberly-Clark Corp. in August of 1992.

Greetings '86ers. These Class Notes are dedicated to LARRY JOHNSTON ' 57, fa th er of MARLY JOHNSTON LEBEAU, and ow ner of Phoebe's Restaurant (Columbus Ave. and 78th St.) in NYC. Four of my former Trinity roomies and I enjoyed a delicious brunch there in early March, and discovered this charming place not only serves great food , but is also a hot Trinity re union spot. While gossiping with Larry (can I call you Larry?) , we noticed a "very Trinity-type" at the next table. Sure enough, this regular-ofPhoebe's not only is a Bantam, he and Larry are both AD brothers. TOM WYCKOFF '88 and Larry had chatted before, but had not previously discovered their common bond. Hey Jenny, good thing you haven't lost your "menscoping skills" ! JENNIFER DAVIDOFF was our gracious hostess for a mini-reunion that included KAREN RESONY, JENNIFER ZYDNEY, MARCELINE LEE (unfortunately absent at brunch) and KIM CROWLEY.Jerry (J.D.) recently completed work editing "What's Eating Gilbert Grape,'' (nominated for an Academy Award), and is now enjoying a life of leisure. She fl ew off to London recently to see the Queen and all the museums, and also squeezed in a 10-day vacation to St. Maarten. She tells m e CAROLYN WHITE is in L.A. working like a fiend on the Tanya and Nancy story - it will probably be released before this issue of the Reporter. Kim Crowley was also an international traveler in 1993. She went to Ireland on her own, bravin g the world's narrowest roads in the world's smallest car. She had a small mishap with a stone wall that jumped in front of the car and ran off with the lefthand mirror. She also lost the antenna, but I'm not sure how. Kim, Sein Finn could use people like you! Kim is also an acc omplished horsewoman. She won a blue ribbon in her first horse show, followed closely by her first fall, followed immediately by her first ambulance ride wearing her first neckbrace and backboard. First rate! Jennifer " Tex" Z ydney is proud to state that after a year in Dallas, h er hair is not big, h er nails aren 't pink, and she still doesn 't ow n cow boy boots. However, she's attended games of all the major

teams: Texas Rangers, Dallas Cowboys, Dallas Stars, Dallas Mavericks. (Texan joke: What do these teams have in common? None of them play basketball!) When sh e's not skeet-shooting, Jen is a communications lender at NationsBank. Karen Resony has join ed the grunge-generation! After traveling around th e Pacific Northwest last year, sh e's considering a semi-permanent escape to Seattle this summer. Karen, yo u know it rains there - a lot! Marly's father gave us th e scoop on his daughter (but M arly, he wo uldn't give us any dirt!). M arly is getting her M.B.A. at NYU, and redoing an old house in Wilton, Conn. with her husband, Mike. Larry told us emphatically "My daughter's the greatest!"Who can argue w ith that? I also met up w ith JOHN STRATAKIS and TOM MADDEN in NYC. John is currently taking a break from his novel and joined the law firm of Poles, Tublin , Patestid es & Stratakis. Tom is still enjoying graduate school and should finish up later this year. What next, Tom, med school? (I'm just jealous of all these people and their "advanced degrees.") Tom reports that JOE SCORESE is pretty busy w ith his twin dau ghters, Angela and Alison, but h e stil.l finds time to do the occasional musical-currently "South Pacific." As promised last time, I have details from the August nuptials of MARCELI NE LEE to Philip Smith. Without qu estion , every detail of the wedding was pure Marcy, fro m the candlelight service at the Swedenborgian Church (which looked like a beautiful Norse cabin) , to the reception at a very hip San Francisco art gallery. In attendance were many Bantams, including DR. TOM DUNN, who was recently awarded his Ph.D. in economics from Northwestern . Tom is currently in his second year as an assistant professor at Syracuse University. As well as enjoying the cultural mecca of upstate New York, he has become a volleyball all-star. Jennife r Zydney flew in from h er new home in Dallas, and JENNIFER MALONEY flew in from Wisconsin w here, as previously reported, she is attending graduate school. JOHN STRATAKIS has left th e legal profession to try his hand at w riting. With H emingway as his inspiration, how could he go wro ng? LINDA BAY C HU also attended th e celebration. She and her husband, Dahlon, recently moved back to Albuqu erque, N.M .

after several years in San Diego. Linda continues her career in hunun resources . Marceline and Philip moved to State College, Pa. immediately follow ing the weddin g, w here Marcy is pursuing an advanced degree in human development. DOREEN RI CE BUTLER recently left the Big City (in this case, N.Y. C.) for a more rural setting. She and h er family (husband, STEVE '81, and son , Geoffrey) moved to Kansas where Doreen works part- time as the coordinator of alumni relations at Johnson County Community College. She's traded World Trade Center bombings for tornado warnings, and, with a house surrounded by farmlands, notes " it is such a change to find a chi cken on the stoo p rather than the local crack dealer." Falling into th e "major lifestyle change" category are TOM PRICE and LISA MUIRHEAD w ho were married on June 5. They are now living in Cincinnati. A wedding announcem ent has also come in from ROBIN SILVER, who married Sumner Saitz in N ovember in Waltham, Mass. They will continue to live in Newton, M ass . Back home, I received several great long letters . KERRY KNOBELSDORFF writes that after four years as a business reporter for the Christian Science Monitor, she quit, traveled through In'clia , England, Dominican Republic, etc. and, after graduating from law school and passing th e Bar exam, now works as a legislative attorney for the Connecticut Legislative Commissioner's Office. H er sister, KRISTY KNOBELSDORFF, is currently working on her Ph.D. in liberal arts, while working full-tim e. Prior to that, she studied classical art at the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts for three-and-one-half years. Kerry asked me to put out an S.O.S. on KRISTIN ILLICK and KAREN HUBBARD. Where are you, and what's new? JEROME KAPELUS also wrote me a lengthy letter. Jerome and his wife, Jolie Epstein, a Dartmouth graduate, were living in L.A. during the recent earthquake. Jerome writes that life in Santa Monica, one block off the beach, was pretty good, especially w ith the addition of Liza Mortan Kapelus, born Dec. 18, 1993 . One day shy of her one-month birthday, the earthquake struck. While they were all o.k. , the Kapeluses decided earthquakes were not for them, and they've recently moved

Mimi reports that life is "sehr gut" and that "teaching is where it's at for me ...I have found my niche." GEORGE FRAISE got married in Ju ne 1992 to a woman he m et skiing in Switzerland three years ago. H e also was recently promoted to vice president of research at Smith Barney Shearson. MARGARET DOWNING was married to J effrey Kraemer in November 1992, and currently works at D igital Equipment Corp. in Massachusetts. News received directly in the alumni office: JANE C AHILL FLOOD reports the arr ival of a new baby (see Births). H e joins sister, Eliza w ho is two. Jane says she is " keeping busy with both future Bantams, although their father insists they will go to Williams." KATHRYN C. GEORGE is with Brown Brothers Harriman and Co. in New York C ity.

One of these days, I hope to join him on a trip, but for now, I'll hold down the fort in Virginia. DAVID SCHNADIG and his w ife, Lori, have moved to L.A. from New York. H e left his position at Lehman Brothers to work as th e special assistant to the chairman of SunAm.erica, Inc. MARGARET PI COTTE MACCLARENCE has been appointed assistant director of development at Siena College in Loudonville, N.Y. The alumni office has heard from DAVE HANAK who w rites that he left Alaska in December and reported to his next assignment in the Bay Area of California in January. He no tes that he had an " interesting experi ence" in Alaska, but that " one year of this cold weather is enough." ANDREW CAESAR also wrote to the College. On June 25 , he will marry Laurie Larson (see Engagements) of Li bby, Mont., which is about 100 miles west of Glacier National Park. H e further notes that h e was ordained on Jan. 2, 1994 and is an associate pastor at the First Presbyterian Church of Pendleton, Ore.

Hello everyone! I hope this finds you in good spirits. I recently received a letter from my long lost fr iend, Senator (yes, I said Senator!) JANE SWIFT. Jane is doing terrific and had quite a bit of news. She planned to be married in February to Chuck Hunt whom she met while living in the Berkshires. Congratulations! On the career front,Jane is a state senator from the Berkshires. She assumed the responsibility of third assistant minority leader for the I Republican Senate Caucus this past spring. Jane is also serving as the western member of the I Governor's steering committee for the 1994 Republican state convention. In terms of future political aspirations, Jane says they are "ever changing. Some days a run for Congress seems exciting and inevitable, on others, retirement from elected politics to start a family and live a less hectic life seems blissful." In any case, good luck, Jane! A number of our classmates got together recently at a gathering in the Big Apple. 1987 grads included BILL DETWILER, LISA CADETTE DETWILER, INGRID KOTCH, KATE RODGERS SMITH and ISABELLE LORING. Kate is currently living in Brooklyn with her baby girl, Addie, and sources report that Kate looks great and Addie is adorable. Kate occasionally sees LAURA DANFORD, also living in New York City. Ingrid Kotch is still plugging away in medical school and is currently doing her OB/GYN rotation, and has actually delivered a baby. Amazing, Ing! Even though I've had a baby, I don't think I could ever deliver one! Bill is still at Smith Barney and Lisa is in pharmaceutical sales, and they are also living in Brooklyn. Lisa recently ' took a trip down to Florida with GINNY VOGEL YONCE, PAM INGERSOLL, JEN BREWSTER '88 and BIZ HOSLER

VOUDOURIS '88, and the girls had a ball. Isabelle is still working at the Harvard University art museum. She and Ian recently have moved back to Beacon Hill after a long and very exciting trip all over the Far East. They visited Vietnam, Bali, Bangkok and many other exotic and interesting places, and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Bill, Lisa and Isabelle all showed up at Homecoming, but I have to say, there really was a notable absence of the Class of '87. WHERE WAS EVERYONE? I thought Homecoming would give me most of my meat for these notes but let me tell you, slim pickins, folks! I did, however, spot a few classmates . Faces in the crowd included BILL BITTERLI, KATHLEEN LAWLOR and KATHY GRAHAM. MARION HAMBLETT HEUBNER was kind enough to pass along some information. Last winter, she visited JOANNA FONE in Jacksonville, Fla., where she is enjoying her work as a lawyer. BRAD BABBITT has graduated from Boston College Law School and has landed a clerkship in Hartford. While coaching the Simsbury boys' crew team at a race in Worcester, Marion bumped into ANNE PERCY PETERSON. As chance would have it, both Marion and Ann are living in Simsbury. Ann is still working in advertising. ROBIN SCULLIN (hi, Robin, great to hear from you!) sends greetings from the nation's capital. Robin has left New York City and HBO to attend George Washington University. Robin writes that she is "currently immersed in politics so as to earn a master's degree in legislative affairs (no Fawn Hall jokes, please) ." Robin recently had a great time visiting LISA MCNAMARA HUGHES and DAVID HUGHES, and their beautiful little girl, Charlotte (congrats to you both!). JOE PRYOR was married on April 3 in Hobe Sound, Fla. to Emilie Hoyt Mead. There were quite a few Trinity alums present, including classm.ates GREG KEATING (Greg, I just saw your pic at your Groton reunion in a friend's Groton alumni magazine!), SCOTT CHISHOLM, J OHN PAUL BRUYNES, NATE ALLEN, GREG MARIO, PHILIP ROBERTSON and ANN CASPARI.

LIA REED '89 and SAMUEL REED '58. Another classmate soon to take the plunge is SCOTT ZOELLNER. I believe a July wedding is in the works . Congrats again, Zoe! DAVE JESSUP is currently enrolled at UMass-Amherst w here he is working towards his degree in alternative energy. Early reports from a source who has asked to remain anonymous said that Dave was as interested .i n p ursuing cute college coeds as he was in pursuing his degree. Could this be true, David? I w ill say, however, later reports from the same unidentified source say that Dave is really working hard. Remember Dave: all work and no play make Jack a dull boy! On the home front, we have some exciting news. My husband, MURPHY VANDERVELDE, has . left his job at Hellman Jordon Management to begin his own money management firm. Believe it or not, he has named the firm Bantam Management. Murph has been on vacation for several weeks now and we plan a trip to' Anguilla in a few days (sans bebe - bummer), but by then, Bantam Management will be up and running. All I can say to that is "Go Bants!" MURPHY and I are expecting our second baby in September. We are really excited but we do have our moments of sheer panic when we think "are we crazy?!" Murphy, Jr. will have just turned two when Monster #2 arrives, so I am. sure we will have our hands fu ll! But it should be a lot of fun. I am pleased to announce that my very dear friend, ISABELLE PARSONS LORING, and her husband, IAN '88, are expecting their first baby in July. They are very excited about their new arrival. In fact they were so excited, they went out and bought a new house in Dedham, Mass . for their impending treasure. Hearty congratulations are in order for both the new baby-to-be and their new home. More "stork" news is that PETER VOUDOURIS and his wife, BIZ '88, are also expecting their first baby in July. Congratulations, again. I had a dream that Peter and Biz had a baby girl and named her Jeanine so we will see what kind of psychic power I have, come July. Peter has requested that I h ave another dream about a baby boy named Speros but alas, so far that has not happened. I recently received a much-appreciated letter from EVE STREISAND (now MARKMAN) who was married to Jeffrey

Markman on June 20, 1993 at Appleford in Villanova, Pa. Classmates attending the wedding were CHRIS HYLAND and ANNE BAKER HYLAND, who are the proud parents of a little boy, Jake, now about 17 months old. Prior to their wedding, Eve and Jeff were living in Washington, D.C. Eve was working as a graphic designer for a computer training finn while Jeff finished his M.B.A. at George Washington University. Since their wedding, Eve and Jeff moved to Bryn Mawr, Pa. Eve is now the publications coordinator for the Community College of Philadelphia. Eve and Jeff spent a week honeymooning in St. John and also were fortunate enough to spend a month traveling around Europe the summer before Jeff finished his M.B.A. JOHN MONTGOMERY was married Jan. 2, 1994 to his high school sweetheart, Suzie Tayer, in Middlebury,Vt.John and Suzie are now back in Chicago where John is finishing up his M.B.A. at Northwestern. After graduating this spring, they will be moving back East so that John can begin working at Morgan Stanley in New York City. I spoke to ED MEYERCORD recently when he was on a business trip to Boston. Ed left PaineWebber and is now working for Salomon Brothers in their telecommunications area. Ed and his wife, ANDREA '88, were hoping to get down to the islands some time this winter, and were considering a possible trip to Europe this summer. Bon voyage! SKIPPY REDMON BANKER has moved back to Cambridge, Mass. (from Beverly Farms, Mass.) with her husband, ALEX '83, and daughter, Carter. She is currently working at the Harvard Business School alumni office. To update news on Ingrid Kotch: she's very busy planning her June wedding, and working through medical school. Her fiance finishes medical school this year so they are waiting on pins and needles right now to find out where he will be doing his residency next year. CATHERINE YOUNG obtained her master's degree in American Indian Studies from the University of Arizona in 1993, and is currently teaching American Indian Studies to undergraduates at the University of Arizona. Cathy loves Tucson and says she welcomes any callers who may be in the area. (Cathy, I am not in the area, but Tucson sounds pretty good to me right about now!) ,

(phone 203-4837188) , is presenting a full-length play written by MICHELE AMENDOLA, '"Til the End," the weekends of July 2-3,9-10,16-17, and 23-24. Michele says the play is "a drama that explores how friendsh ips and relationships each influence, confuse and complicate

the other." That's about all the news I have. As usual, I will conclude with my plea for any information about the Class of '87. The letters just aren't arriving en masse the way a diligent Class Secretary would hope. So I'll keep hoping. N anny Tellier Vander Vel d e 48 R adcliffe R d.

Hello, fellow '89ers. This will probably be the last nonsensical report from your gossiping secretary. It has been five fun-filled years hearing from all of you about your interesting lives. I tried reporting it accurately and in as lively a way as possible. I know I stepped on a few toes, but I also hope I made a few smiles and even a few laughs. Well, thanks for the moments. I hope to see many of you at our first Reunion. To start off, STEPHEN C. FRANCIS was happily married to ELIZABETH R . FRANCIS, a.k.a. LIZZIE ROSANO, on Sept. 25, 1993 at Trinity College. It was a lovely New England affair even the Kennedys would have been proud of. It all started with a weekend beach party hosted by the Russell-Francis family on Drake's Island, Maine on Labor Day weekend. Even the dogs were enjoying themselves by running along the cool but clear water of Maine and catching frisbees and tennis balls. We also drove by the summer home of ex-President George Bush in Kennebunkport and saw a figure on a fishing boat with Secret Service men about. In attendance at this party were JASON MANSKE,YANI KWEE and JULIANA RAMIREZ. Juliana reports that she was admitted into the Merrill Lynch training program and was in Colorado for several months at the training center. Then, in September the wedding was held at the Chapel and the reception at Hamlin Hall. In attendance were all those named above, and CHANTAL BADE, AVACHAI TAYJASANANT with his new bride, ARUN DULEEP '92, MARGARET COUGHLIN, DEIRDRE IVES-CUEVAS, KATHERINE ELLIS and DENISE ROSANO '86 . Presently, the newlyweds are living in action-packed Columbus, Ohio,

where their favorite pastime is working and dreaming they were back home in the Northeast. A.T. and Arun are living a serene life in the fresh New Hampshire air. A. T. is in his final year at Tuck Business School. He reported that he spent this past summer reliving the bachelor playboy life and j et-setted across the Atlantic and Pacific, visiting London, Tokyo, Istanbul, Geneva etc ... w hile charging it all to Goldman Sachs. To continue w ith my uneventful secretarial life, I returned to Trinity for Homecoming to see the Bantams complete an undefeated season which they haven't done since 1955 . We beat Wesleyan 35 to something. All and all, it was a great game and was attended by over 10,000 fans and alums. Anyway, I saw several '89ers there enjoying the game and the halftime tailgate. I wished I saw more of you, but I am sure yo u all were waiting for Reunion '94 to make it back to Camp Trin-Trin. At the tailgate, I spoke briefly with several '89ers, including ANDY SKOLNICK and JEFF VINICK. Both are doing well and are practicing law in Connecticut. I heard rumors that DAVID VALZANIA and his long-time sweetheart, Mich elle, have fin ally decided to tie the knot soon . JONAH COHEN was also there, reporting that h e moved out of his old 'hood to a new 'hood, leaving ex-classmate, HOA KY '88. I also had the opportunity to chat with a new Connecticut attorney, DON GREEN, a recent graduate of UConn Law School. I b elieve Don is now clerking with a Superior Court Judge. Whoops, one exciting moment I almost forgot to mention was the visit from BEVERLY HARRISON. Bev came up to N ew York City from Florida to visit HOPE WEINER '90 and company. Bev is presently living a bachelorette life in Plant City after having ended her fourth engagement. Bev is a part-time schoolteacher and a part-time entrepreneur as .a make-up artist-for a world-famous photographer. She is also pursuing her dreams of being an actress and plans to go back to school to get her advanced degree. She is not sure what she wants to major in but is planning to do it at th e University of Southern Florida. Bev would like to hear from other '89ers; therefore, all of you friends of the redhead should drop her a line now and then. MASSOUD " M a-Dude" AMIRI finally gave me a buzz

aft er all these years of silence. M assoud reported live from the University ofVirginia, w here he was finishing up his first year at its business school. H e told m e he was working his butt off and is acquiring th e tas te for southern belles. He reported that MAIA SHARPLEY was also " doing time" at the University of Michigan's business school. H e also reported that MARK ZWEIFEL is presently living and working in Maryland. My next report was more from coincidence than by letter. On one wet and cold February evening as I was commutin g home on the bus, I ran into JEFFREYVINICK w ho was heading home from work. H e was then living in Greenwich, Conn. and reported everything was fin e. H e told m e then h e wanted to move into New York City to be closer to his job. I guess Jeff will soon be joining the everyday grind of the city which I have grown to hate. It it were m e, I would stay out in Greenwich, Conn. where I can enjoy a game of tennis in my yard. Everybody's favorite Spanish teach er, Senorita MARY SABATINI is still teaching Spanish at South Windsor High School in Connecticut. She w ill be (well by the time yo u read this, was ... ) studying for h er master's in Spanish at Middlebury College inVermont. She was to be m arried to D ean Rametta on April 9, 1994. Afterward they plan to make Rocky Hill their official love nest. We w ish you all the best, Mary and D ean. This next report com es from the land down under, Australia. Hopping around on his own Kanga or BMW, however one wants to see it, is PIKE PETERS. Pike is still working for the Stillwell BMW dealership. I'm sure h e is loving the climate down there where it is a hazard to be in the sun too long without any covering or protection. Pike has plans to be betrothed to his long-time love, MARIANNE STILLWELL '88. Both are having a ball and can't wait to start making little Pike Peters. Finally, I received another rep ort from afar and from another car dealership. MARK A. BRIDGES is still working for the John Swire & Sons Company of Japan and is presently m anaging a Volvo dealership for the Swire Group in Taipei City, Taiwan. Well, back to my mundane but happy life. ED WONG is doing well and is still living in Morristown, N.J.

Greetings from New York. (Note yet another change of address for ALL you letter-writers out there.) I am still enjoying my job in advertising/promotion at Bantam Books (amazingly, I am not bored yet) and am busy setding into a new apartment. I'd love to hear from anyone who is out there! Does anyone read these reports? Let me know! ROBIN HALPERN had the misfortune of having her apartment robbed TWICE this winter! She is fine and advises everyone to get renter's insurance (luckily, she had the foresight to have insurance)! Robin's other news is that she was promoted to manager at her job at the Lotos Club. Congrats! She saw several alums this fall, including MARGIE PESKIN, who returned from her year in Israellast summer. I attended a party sponsored by an association of around 50 alumni dubs with Robin and we saw Margie who is settled in her apartment on the upper West Side. Margie was with PETE CRAM, STEVE DRUCKMAN and DOUG BUTLER. Margie and ANDREA HIRSHON were both bridesmaids in COURTNEY JENNING's '90 wedding last summer, and are moving in together in Manhattan. Robin filled me in on some New York happenings: She and her brother attended a party at Grand Central (also sponsored by Denison and Middlebury) and saw PAUL HARNEY (with PAM HUANG '92),JAMES LOUTIT,

MONA MENNEN (who was visiting from Boston), PEYTON TANSILL, MICHELLE ISRAEL, TOBY NORRIS (and ALISA COREN NORRIS '91), HILARY DECKOFF, BROOKE MCWHIRTER, MOLLY WHELAHAN, KATIE EVERITT, BOB HOYNG,JENNIFER TESORO and ANDREW TURNER, who was the D.J. with SCOTT BROWN '92. I heard through the Trinity grapevine that STEPHANIE VAUGHN is engaged! Congratulations, Stephanie! If you are reading this, I sent you a card to your Beacon Street address, but it was returned. But know that I am thinking of you! Robin informs me that CAMERON BILLER is also engaged! Congrats! CHRIS ROW sent me a chatty letter from Cambridge. He will receive his master's degree in fine arts from Harvard in June and is working on his doctoral dissertation. He plans to spend his spring vacation in Rome and Florence, staying with ANDREW BLUME '89 and his wife in Florence. Following his trip to Italy and the awarding of his master's degree in June, Chris will be traveling with his family to Grand Cayman for some well deserved R&R. He continues to work hard on his book, All Saints': Art and Architecture of the Church Candescent, which will be published in 1997, the 75th anniversary of the Parish of All Saints'. Unfortunately, he has had to shelve his book on the Trinity College Chapel for the time being, because funding has not been forthcoming. He has been approached by Oxford University Press and asked to submit articles on various architects and artists for the American National Biography, a 20-volume work that will succeed the renowned Dictionary ofAmerican Biography, the classic reference of American biographies. He sounds extremely busy and makes me wonder what I am doing with my life! Congratulations to GEORGE LOGAN who received the Bridgeport Engineering Institute's 1994 Engineer in Service to Youth Award. George is the director of the EDY High School summer enrichment program for inner-city youth at the University ofBridgeport and a mentor with the Lewis H. Latimer Academy of Hall Neighborhood House in Bridgeport. I heard that ERIC GAZIN is studying in Warsaw on a Fulbright. No further details!

I find myself with plenty of time to dig up gossip and write Class Notes, since I'm stuck at home with, of all things, chicken pox! This puts quite a dent in my fast-paced academic life (not to mention my social life). So I'm scratching down some news (and

CLASS

just plain scratching) while I overdose on the Olympics from * lehammer. Letters from you guys have not exactly been pouring in. But I did get a nice note from HEIDI KRITEMAN. Heidi writes from Swampscott, Mass., where she lives while teaching second grade in the neighboring town of Marblehead. She and her long-time boyfriend are engaged and planning a July 1995 wedding. Heidi is applying to grad schools in Boston and getting her master's in human development and educational psycho!ogy. She has kept in touch with '92ers ELEANOR ORR (living in Brewster, N .Y.) and MISSY NEARY (living in Cornwall, Conn.), and reports that they're both doing fine. Thank you for writing, Heidi, because no one ever does (hint, liint, guys!). A few of you have written to the alumni office: CYNDY NAHABEDIAN is enjoying her first year at Rutgers University graduate program in criminal justice, although she says the classes are difficult. Cyndy also works part-time for the Center for Crime Prevention Studies, and noted that she really enjoyed seeing everyone at Homecoming '93. PHIL GRAHAM wrote from Philadelphia. He'll be there until August, when he'll move to Washington, D. C. to begin the grueling med 'school experience at George Washington. RON IRWIN wrote from' South Africa, where he recently finished teaching at St. Barnabas College, and is now completing a master's program in literary studies at the University of Cape Town. According to Ron, CHARLES SHERMAN '93 andANDYVAN HOOK '93 are also in South Africa, and he sees them often. Ron keeps in touch with ENRICO BROSIO (still working in Stamford) and SCOTT HOERLE (in N.YC., working for Macmillan Press), and they both plan to visit South Africa soon. LAURA PETROVIC writes from Colorado, where she is working at Keystone Resort. She sounds like she's having a great time and enjoying the snow. Amazingly enough, she and BILL DAILEY (also living in Colorado) ran into fellow Trinity grad, AMY MORSE '93 , up in the mountains on an unpaved road, miles from civilization! What a coincidence! Thanks for the letter, Laura, and stay in touch. The alumni office forwarded the following info about '92ers to me: CHRIS FOSTER and

PAMELA O'KANE '93 have moved to North Wales, Pa. and planned an April '94 wedding. Chris works as a business manager at Leadership Resources and is reportedly very happy. Also in Pennsylvania, LAURA BICKNELL is a grad student in organic chemistry at UPenn (I may have already reported this - sorry if I did). Her classes are over and she's doing full-time lab research. AndARINWOLFSON is an associate with Deloitte Touche in New York City. CHRISTOPHER WEISS is working in Boston at US. Telecenters and living in Brookline. ASHLEY HOUSTON also lives in Brookline, and attends grad school at Boston University, working towards a master's in environmental studies. Other New Englanders include LINDA BERNSTEIN, who lives in Rocky Hill - I think in the same apartment complex as KAREN ISGUR and KATHY KIMBALL. Karen, of course, is enjoying her work at the alumni office and did a great job at the Young Alumni Homecoming Tent! And Kathy is still working for Andersen Consulting - she recently spent a month commuting weekly to Maine! Speaking of Maine, AMY CHIODO is back in her home state, working for L.L. Bean, and is planning to attend grad school in the future. MATT DUFFY is back at Trinity: he started working at the development office last October. I myself am busy trying to get through law school, and - in my mundane travels around the UConn Law School campus have run into a few Trin grads. HEATHER SMITH is taking some classes at the law school for her grad work at Trinity, where she is coaching crew. I just had to mention this, since Heather begged me to include her in Class Notes (NOT!). I run into BRIAN CLAUSSEN and MATT GOLDSCHMIDT frequently at the hip Hartford night spots. They're both still studying hard at UConn Med! Brian gave me some Class news he got when he went to a Trinity wedding recently: ALI SA COREN and TOBY NORRIS '91 were married in Emerson, NJ not long ago. The happy couple moved out of New York City, and now live in north Jersey. Brian said he had a great time at the wedding, where there were many Trin alums in attendance. SARAH JO WAYNE still enjoys her studies in grad school at the University of Indiana. And COLLEEN

NOTES

CURRAN works at an advertising agency in NewYork.In news from other law schools in the Northeast: BEE BENNETT is at Hofstra on her native Long Island, and seems to be enjoying it as much as is possible. BETSY STALLINGS, at Suffolk Law, is happy, but may return to Texas after her first year (can't stand those New England winters anymore, huh Bets?). And rumor has it that BRENT O'LEARY is at B.C. Law. Good luck, guys! Other gossip from Brian: his roommate, Matt Goldschmidt, recently went to Seattle to present a paper on research that he did on oral surgery. And Brian's former roommate from college, JEFF STEVENS, who works for a pharmaceutical company, was recently promoted and is moving from New Britain to Boston. The alumni office has learned that newlyweds AVACHAI TAYJASANANT '89 andARUN DULEEP are living in White River Junction, Vt. CLIFFORD SWARTZ has told the College that he is now a fixed income analyst in the asset management division at Wells Fargo Bank in Los Angeles, Calif REBECCA BURT has also written to the alumni office saying that she is "having a great time living in San Francisco. My job is really fun - I'm working for a sports marketing and special event planning company with an office that overlooks the Bay. Our latest project is ticket distribution for 1994 World Cup soccer. There are a million Trinity alums in the SF area (or else moving out here)." MARY JO PUGLISI is still working in Hartford on AIDS prevention research, and volunteering some of her time to Big Brothers/ Big Sisters. You may remember, as I reported in an earlier edition, Mary Jo and TITOVASQUEZ are engaged and planned a Spring '94 wedding at the Trinity Chapel! (Tito is still working very hard at New York Medical College.) ANDREA MOODY, as I write, is applying to grad schools in New York for art history. 'JOHN STONE finished his work for Teach for America, in Houston, and is moving west to California. SCOTT BROWN is applying to law schools (one of which I hear is UConn - maybe I'll run into him someday!) . On the other side of the planet, KEVINYU is working in Hong Kong, and plans on applying to business schools there. Bef~re I came down with the

chicken pox, I ,got to see PAULA CINTI, who took a break from medical school and came home to Connecticut for a weekend. We spent some time catching up with the old crowd, including Kathy Kimball andJO MARIE RUCCI. It was great to see everyone and it felt like old times! Speaking of which, "There's no place like home!" was the overwhelming sentiment at Homecoming '93 , and Class President MALCOLM MACLEAN even clicked his heels together while he said it - I don't think he was wearing ruby red slippers, though. Maybe next year. Hope you all had fun watching the Bants eremate Wesleyan. As I was making my rounds, I noticed that there were substantially fewer c.o. '92ers around than last year - I hope this doesn't become a trend. But it was nice to see DAVE LYMAN, whom I haven't seen in ages. Dave lives and works in Boston, and seemed to be having fun when I saw him, after he recovered from my berating him for not keeping in touch (I hope you learned your lesson, Dave!). I also got to see CHRIS ABRAMSON who is studying Italian in the master's program at Columbia in N.Y. Buona sfortunata, Chris! I guess that's it. Please note my new address and write to me! Or, call me! Send telepathic messages! Anything! See ya later. .. News sent recently to the alumni office: In December of 1993, WILLIAM DENNEN received his master's in political science from SUNY at Stony Brook. H. JONATHAN ROTENSTREICH joins the Annual Fund subcommittee of the Board of Fellows on July 1, serving as the 1990's Decade Chair. The Committee are the College's core leadership volunteers. Jon will assist class agents for the classes 1990-94 in raising money for the College through the Alumni Fund.

CLASS

The last few months have been eventful for the Class of 1993 . Most notably the New Year came, and we can no longer claim to have graduated from college "this year" - a frightening concept to most, a joyful separation to a few others . Trinity experienced its first Homecoming without us, except for the fact that most of us managed to get there one way or another, it seemed. Your faithful Class Secretary, in a valiant attempt to keep up on the doings of the Class, made the trek from California to Gallows Hill and met up with more than a few old (old already?) classmates. SUSAN OLSEN and KIM D'AMICO played host to a wide array of graduates in a strange combination of sleeping quarters, and traffic through the doors included JEN NOVAK, MIKE JOLIE, MCRAE WILLIAMS, KATIE KWAK '92, as well as many other festive individuals. After graduation, of course, came the moves - recent graduates' first clumsy flapping of their wings as they make that traumatic and decisive first leap from the nest: first apartment, first job, second job, third job, and on and on. JOHN GRAZIADEI, JOHN NEUSBAUM, JASON SALTZMAN, and, for a time even, MARK BIBRO all moved out to San Diego to spend some time idling by the beautiful Pacific surf. However, Graziadei, at last report, was making a move to New York City, where he will join a host of other Bantams already semi-established in the Big Apple. KATIE ABLE has signed on with GQ Magazine; roommate past and present, LISA VARGAS, has recently become an assistant buyer for Bloomingdale's; EMILY MURPHY works for a producer; and JAMIE GAILLARD works for William Thatcher and Rand. MARIO MATURO labors in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and lives with ROB LENOIS and RICK MORRIS. RACHEL TOTMAN, who also lives and works in N.Y. C., reported seeing JOSH WHITTEMORE on sax at a smoky blues club in the Bronx, and recently took a trip to Boston to visit pals SUSIE DYSON and MINNA KIM in their Somerville apartment. Boston, and Somerville in 路particular, remains a hotbed of Trinity activity, and I recently had the opportunity to catch up with

some classmates at a tour of the Sam Adams Brewery, including four Somerville roommates w ho are struggling to make their way in the world, each in his or her own special way. WILL MACON is presently handling thousands of greenbacks a day as a personal banking specialst for Bank of Boston, or "BOB." NICOLE D'AVIRRO works diligently at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. ASHLYN HILEY, project assistant at Brigham and Women's Hospital, indulges in research projects verging on the bizarre. PRASANT SAR continues as a paralegal but speaks wistfully of attending a clown college, ironically located in Washington, D. C. Just down the block, LYNN WOLFF has recently landed a job as a sales associate at Paramount's Collegiate publishing division. KARALYN KINSELLA researches at Dana Farber Cancer Institute, and CRISTIN KEARNS departs every day for the long commute to Providence, R.I. where she works in research at Cyto Therapeutics. Speaking of Rhode Island, Bristol native DAN SCANLAN held a party recently to celebrate his first position as the director of Making Stuff Up for C. Cabot Inc. of Boston. JAY AKASIE, late of the Nantucket Inquirer/Mirror, was there to announce his move to The New Britain Herald, and CLIVE BARD discussed his position as a network administrator with Net Daemons Associates. Though B.U. and Cambridge Culinary Institute student CANDY CALON did not make the party, she and friend, SHAUN RAI '92, made it to a bar hop the next evening, which included Albany law student NICOLE CRIS C IONE, new job candidate TIM "Hellfire"WOODCOME, and a guest appearance at Grendel's by ALEX DOLAN. I am able to so thoroughly document the Boston doings because I, your dutiful Class Secretary, have recently found myself in Boston. The first of the year saw me starting a management training program at the Boston office of the San Francisco-based Fritz Companies. The weather here is colder than it ever was at Trinity, I assure you, especially for a California native. I am slowly adjusting to th e life here, however, and keeping warm with the excitement of seeing old friends and exploring a new city. Unfortunately, I am also learning the mundane aspects of life away from home: banking,

NOTES

laundry and grocery shopping. In truth, however, grocery shopping has yielded a social bonus: I recently encountered B .U. hisory student BENVARAT, at the Boylston Street Star Market. Ben, as it turns out, lives with Skaden Aarps paralegal TONY CANATA, who filled me in on a few details. STEVE TOBEY is with a consulting firm in Washington, D.C., the very same city where MARY BETH MALONE is a paralegal with Skadden Aarps.JASON SLAVICK, Tony explained, is in Philadelphia directing a play called Mother H arold and the Boys. This conversation took place at a party with at least 30 Class of 1993 members. BRITT STOCKTON, in her first year of the Tufts M.D/ Ph.D. program, was there, as was CASSIE BURNS, an underwriter in the great Hartford insurance industry. LISA SEQUENZIA, a graduate research associate at UConn, also attended, as did former class member, BARRY HUDSON. ANNEMARIE FINI told tales of dolphin training in South Carolina, where she lives with RAGAN MOREHOUSE. Barry told me that JOE PORTO is a student at Bridgeport Law School, and STEVE MCINTYRE works for a bank in Vail, Colo. Just before leaving for Boston, I attended the Trinity Club of San Francisco's Christmas party, and had a fun time meeting alumni both fami liar and new. Classmate NATALIE PAVLOFF was there, as were Dan Scanlan's sister, KATE SCANLAN '88, and pals, PAIGE BAUMAN '90 and KELLY DIXON '88. Elsewhere in these United States, AMY MORSE and JESS WELD are, by all accounts, enjoying their sojourn in Keystone, Colo., working, skiing, and generally fighting off the onslaught of Real Life. DAVID BALTAZAR works long into the night perfecting his evil robot army at U.Va. School of Engineering, and PIPER SKELLY and his cadaver, "Spaulding," work ever closer to that fateful M.D. CARA CAHALAN is living in New York City and studying at Fordham University where she is in her first year in a doctoral program in school psychology. She spent last summer teaching and living in Palo Alto, Calif. While there she saw BISA PLAYER and BO HEWITT. Bisa is working at Stanford University in the alumni office. Cara writes that JODI FALCIGNO is teaching sixth grade English in North Haven, Conn. and coaching junior high

basketball. Cara also had news of JENINE DECAPRIO who has taken MCATs and is applying to medical schools. STEPHEN CURLEY lives with JON PIPER, who works at Andersen Consulting, and TOM SKULL '92. Steve is working at Shawmut National Corporation and says he is "enjoying it so far." Last October, ANGELA GRANO and NICOLE SISTARE performed with a dance ensemble at Hartford's Cathedral Theater in a work created by JUDY DWORIN '70 . PAMELA O'KANE and CHRISTOPHER FOSTER '92 have moved to Pennsylvania from Rochester, N.Y. They became engaged a year ago and their wedding is planned for April 16 in Massachusetts. They write, "Pam is still looking for a job, and Chris is very happy with his new career." SAMANTHA RABETZ is the assistant director of admissions at the Ethel Walker School, a girls' boarding school in Simsbury, Conn. She hopes to start work on her master's soon. After graduation, GORDY WISBACH moved to Chapel Hill, N.C. where he is employed as a research assistant at the University ofNorth Carolina School of Medicine. The alumni office has heard directly from the following alums: KIMBERLY FULLER is engaged. The wedding is scheduled for Oct. 15, 1994 in Hartford. Her fiance is a 1993 University of Hartford graduate, and they plan to move to the Berkshires in Massachusetts. MIYUKIWATTS con1.pleted the basic electrician's course at the Marine Corps Communications Electronics School in Twentynine Palms, Calif. CHRIS O'BRIEN works in the marketing department for the Boston asset management firm, Baring America Asset Management Co., Inc. ELIZABETH PLAYER is employed as a registrar for the Stanford travel/study program. She plans to staff trips to Bali and Europe this year, and writes that she is "having a ball rooming with JAMIE MURPHY in Palo Alto." Jonathan E.
