From the President At a luncheon in May for departing College Chaplain the Rev. N ancy Charles, The Right Rev. Arthur Walmsley, C lass of'48, offered a prayer in gratitude for the singular capacity humans have for memory; what a gift that is, he said. His observation at the event was a perfect way to keep Nancy in our thoughts, as she begins h er duties as deployment officer for the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut. This issue of the Reporter offers the same kind of opportunities for remembering. In the lead story alumni contribute their recollections of a transformative time in the history of the country and the College. Twenty-five years ago the first women undergraduates ascended to the Commencement platform, capping t he first year of the transition to coeducation. While this was undoubtedly the most dramatic change at Trinity in the 20th century, at the same time there were a number of other important events taking place . The student body was becoming m ore diverse, the new curriculum was adopted, and foreign study, including at Trinity's own Rome campus, was emerging as an important study option. In addition to remembering the events of 25 years ago, this issue takes time to look back at another generation changed by history. Trinity's Class of'44 has been an extremely unified and successful one, as you will see. Their accomplishments seem especially remarkable, when you consider that only 13 members of the Class actually graduated in 1944. Also in this section Lewis Walker '38 recalls his invo~vement in the planning of a top-secret m ilitary event which never happened 50 years ago. Paul Kincade '46 recalls w ith appreciation his years in the N avy V-12 Program at Trinity. Paul is an internationally recognized consulting and investigative hypnotist, who, coincidentally, taught the techniques of self-hypnosis at Reunion this year. The C lass Notes section looks back on Reunion 1995, w h en the Classes w ith the Os and Ss reconvened for conversation, fun, learning, and remembering. Those of us in attendance enj oyed the contributions that several alumni made to the success of the overall program. Reunion was one memorable feature of the warm welcome extended by the entire Trinity community to me and my w ife, Kit, and our son, Harry. Other events these past few months - Commencem ent, cheering on the crew teams at the Henley Regatta in England and meeting th~ London alumni, and trips to visit area clubs and individual alumni- have made me feel excited about Trinity's future. Ki t and I feel so privileged to be part of this great institution and worldwide family. We thank you for your great kindness to us and en couraging support. I look forward to seeing you at the College this fall or at an alumni event in your area. With best wishes,

-when a College, and a country, greatly changed 路 by Jon Z o nderman '79

This past year the campus community came together around events marking the beginnings, 25 years ago, of coeducation and of the Umoja House. But the academic years 1994-95 and 1995-96 are, additionally, milestones for a host of programs, activities and ways of operating that, taken together, created what might be called "today's Trinity." It was, indeed, during 1969-70 that the first women undergraduates enrolled and around this time that the number of minority students rose from a handful in each class to two or three dozen per class. Umoja House, the center for black students, was created, and the black community developed a voice through the Trinity Coalition of Blacks. Black studies classes were created and merged into the "non-Western studies" program to create a new Intercultural Studies Program, one of the most hotly debated topics of the new curriculum (see story on the chang- . ing academic landscape, page 7). In 1969, for the first time, the College hired a woman, Dori Katz, into a tenure-track position. She later became the first

woman to achieve tenure and to be made a full professor. Today, almost two-fifths of the Trinity faculty are women. In March of 1970 the College hired Herbert Years Harris as the first black full-time faculty member. His Ago appointment was two-thirds time in the religion department and one-third time as assistant dean for human relations in the office of community life. The administrative portion of the appointment was made in response to a recommendation by a panel that studied an incident between a black student and a white member of campus security. Today, 11 percent of the faculty are minority individuals. It was also during these years that students began sitting on 路 faculty committees, and when they began, in large numbers, to involve themselves in politics and service in the community. Today, the College's internship program, providing academic credit for work at one of more than 200 Hartford-area institutions, is an important Justin VanEtten '96 did an internfeature of a Trinity education. ship last semester with Paine Webber. Thomas Lips, center, has Community Service and Outreach sponsored dozens of Trinity Programs involve hundreds of students through the internship students in programs and events program, which has grown substantially over 25 years. each semester. The institution also became more involved with the other Hartford-area colleges, the Twel,ve College Exchange, and other opportunities for Trinity students to study at other campuses or abroad. (In a story accompanying this article, Professor Emeritus George Cooper recalls 1970, the year of the first summer program at Trinity's Rome Campus.) Also making a debut in 1969 was a plan for "democratic" campus governance. At the convocation, President Theodore Lockwood '48, Thomas Smith, former vice then newly installed, proposed "a president of the College. deliberative body with authority to review any question of general college policy. .. (with) representatives from all the members of the community: faculty, students, administration, staff and alumni." Noticeably absent from the list were trustees. The Trinity College Council (TCC), which had been instituted the year before and was made up of four faculty, four students and four administrators, opposed

the idea; another governing body would have made it superfluous. The TCC was an attempt to "find ways to add the student voice and return the faculty voice to campus governance," says former Vice President of the College Thomas A. Smith '44, whose 35-year administrative career at Trinity takes in this critical period. Smith says that by the end of the 1960s many colleges and universities realized that the postwar trend toward residing campus management in the hands of full-time administrators rather than faculty had caused some breakdown in the feeling of campus community. Administrators tended to respond to trustees rather than faculty and students, and trustees are "removed from the daily life of campus, although they often had great expectations about how that life would be led." While the TCC counterbalanced that trend, Smith said that after two or three years of dealing with weighty issues-a new disciplinary code foremost among themthe TCC became bogged down in debate of campus minutiae. "Most students really couldn't care about all the details. They expend their energy on academics and social outlets." While the TCC has disbanded, the student voice continues to be an important one in campus governance today. This sense of Trinity students' being adults resonated throughout campus life at this time, from Lockwood's notions of democratic governance through self-guided academic studies, into how the College and its students dealt with urban and national politics. The TCC had spent much of the 1968-69 academic year trying to develop a new discipline code to fill the void created when all of the members of the honor society Medusa resigned after taking part in the takeover of the administration offices in April 1968 in protest of the Vietnam War. In the fall of 1969, it was still struggling with creating a drug policy and a judicial process that would not give final power of punishment to the trustees. In addition to TCC's dissenting voice on Lockwood's suggestion, Trinity's small chapter of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) was against it, seeing the new Lockwood model as a dilution of the student body's voice in campus matters. SDS had been the driving force behind the takeover of the president's office in the spring of 1968-two days before the famous takeover at Columbia University. By the fall of1969 SDS had lost most of its following on campus as the national organization became more radical. Blowing up ROTC offices and research labs where military research was done, as happened on many campuses, didn't sit well with a student body that emptied trash cans and otherwise cleaned up after itself when it ended its 1968 sit-in.

(continued from page 4) In fact, on September 26, 1969 the Trinity SDS chapter removed itself from the national organization, renaming itself the Theodore Lockwood chapter of the Ghost Shirt Society, a remembrance of groups of American Indians who roamed the plains states after most of their people had been forced onto reservations in the late 19th century. Just a few weeks later Trinity took a decidedly measured stance regarding the Vietnam Moratorium Day. While Loc'kwood refused to cancel classes so students could mass at the University of Hartford for an 11 a.m. rally and march to the Old State House at Constitution Plaza, he did sanction an ecumenical service at noon in the chapel. No students were penalized for missing classes that day, and many students attended the service, then marched downtown and joined the marchers from UHart at Bushnell Park, which had been pressed into service as the rally site because of the crowd's size, estimated by police and the press at more than 10,000.

Soon after, the President authorized the college chaplain to establish an office for draft counseling and the college counselor to advise students on drug use and abuse. Student ombudsmen positions were created in the office of student life, and the next year the Resident Assistant program began. To this day, the R.A. position includes a healthy dose of peer counseling and ombudsman/ombudswoman activities on behalf of students. Over the next six months the campus played host to a debate between the Rev. Joseph Duffey, chairman of Americans for Democratic Action, and William F. Buckley, publisher of National Review. Herman Bedillo, the former Bronx Borough President, spent a week as lecturer in residence; he spoke against "community control," of schools in the Ocean Hill-Brownsville section of New York, but urged Trinity students to "adopt a school" in Hartford and create a "new condition for cities." Allard Lowenstein visited campus to discuss

Creating a Fundamentally Different Curriculum

"'T"' .1 he most exciting and important change" to come about during the late '60s and early '70s, says]. Ronald Spencer '64, was the "open curriculum," which remains at the core of the Trinity academic experience. Spencer, currently associate academic dean and lecturer in history, had returned in the summer of 1968 as a lecturer in history. He arrived at the same time as President Theodore Lockwood, who had been dean at Union College, and Lockwood's assistant from Union, Robert Fuller, who became Dean of the College. Lockwood announced the new curriculum in April 1969; the Class of '73, which matriculated in September 1969, was the first to study under it. The open curriculum had no College-wide requirements-no more math, foreign language, or physical education requirements; students only needed to fulfill the requirements of a department .for the major and complete 36 courses to graduate. The new curriculum was the application in the classroom of an attitudinal change that swept Trinity and other colleges across the country, an attitude that asked students to take more personal responsibility for their academic and non-academic experiences, including working out disputes where "moral collisions" occur. As Vice President Thomas Smith wrote in an essay in the Tripod of December 14, 1971, "the development of personal moral standards is each student's responsibility .. .! would not expect, nor would I encourage, the college or the university to resume its attempt to assume moral custody for students." Over the years, curricular innovations approved by the faculty

have been reintroduced; a new general-education curriculum took effect with freshmen entering in fall, 1988. Students today fulfill a distribution requirement by taking one course in each of five areas (Arts, Humanities, Natural Sciences, Numerical & Symbolic Reasoning, and Social Sciences); and an integration of knowledge requirement, usually by completing a five- or sixcourse interdisciplinary minor; and before graduation, they must demonstrate proficiency in writing and mathematics. Despite this, much of the thrust of the open curriculum remains in place today. Open semesters to pursue independent projects came into being with the open curriculum. Open periods in both the Christmas and Trinity terms date from October 1969, and pass/fail grades were first discussed and adopted during this period as well. There was a move by some to go to a complete honors/ credit/fail grading system, a move that was crushed by graduate schools unwilling to accept such a system. It was also during this time that new academic programs were launched, including the Individualized Degree Program for nontraditional students, and the Urban and Environmental Studies (now Public Policy Studies), American Studies and Religion majors. Interdisciplinary departments were created, such as comparative literature. Black studies classes were created and merged into the "non-Western studies" program to create a new Intercultural Studies Program. The creation oflntercultural Studies was important for a black community struggling to find its voice. Since then, Intercultural

Studies has gone through two more incarnations, first as Area Studies and today as International Studies. Study of Mrican nations resides here, while Mro-American studies was passed in the 1980s to the American Studies department, which has moved from its original focus on the myth-andsymbol school of thought about American icons to what is described today as "the study of a culture in the process ofbecoming." In 1969 the first rumblings of American Studies began at Trinity, and one of the four women transfer stude'nts who graduated in the Class of 1970, Judy Dworin, majored in American Studies. She brough~ the Smith College program with her, and for her thesis created a staged interpretation through dance of John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry, Virginia. The years 1969-1971 also saw the development of Urban and Environmental Studies from a small think tank to a full-fledged academic program. Perhaps most surprising, given Trinity's historic attachment to the Episcopal Church, 1969 was when the College first sanctioned a major in religion. The new major, unencumbered by a tradition of comprehensive exams, rigidly prescribed courses of study and other vestiges of the academic version of in loco parentis, created a major with a junior seminar, a senior colloquium, a faculty adviser and an educational philosophy described to the Tripod by Alan Tull, then college chaplain and associate professor of religion, as: "The way of learning is provided by the department, but what is learned is determined by the student." â&#x20AC;˘

about the fractiousness and anger now in our society, I take some solace from a letter I received from (former Professor of Biology) Jim Van Stone in 1988 not too long before his death. I had written him after his retirement to tell him how his teaching had enriched my experience at Trinity. In his reply, he said, ... 'No more biology books for me. I now ask the question whether it is so grand that evolution along the vertebrate line has led to man, and I seek the answer by reading his recorded history from the ancient Sumerians to the present. So far I see endless repetition of rise and fall cycles accompanied now by unharnessed growth in numbers. But repetition is order, and cycles by their very nature are symmetrical. So what's new? The Krebs cycle is still the repetitive Krebs cycle, and bacterial colonies on an agar plat still flourish only to perish in their own waste ..... Enough of that. Hopefully all goes well for you, and that you are finding life to be a fulfilling adventure. It has been for me, even with all its ups and downs. Good luck, Tom. Thanks again for the letter. It meant a lot to me.' And so too did Trinity mean a lot to many of us."

I had some fantastic teachers and benefitted immensely from Trinity's size and urban location. It was a good place to experience the late 1960's. I developed a love for literature and I learned to question the established order. My memories of Trinity are vivid and ultimately bittersweet."

he students I teach are pretty smart - maybe as smart as we were. But they lack a number of things we had. They lack a sense of security, and any belief in the perfectibility of the future; they lack a belief that they have a moment to spare to find out what they're good at. They have no time for 'electives.' They declare a major even before they matriculate, and they have a teeth-gritted, handsclenched view of what they'll do when they grow up, even if they doubt that they'll be able to do it when the time comes. They're nostalgic for a time before they were born - they're nostalgic for the college years that belonged to us ..."

Another generation affected by war Trinity's Class of '44 has seen history and made it. Fueled by the affecting experiences of their late teens and twenties and a deep love for the institution which had guided them toward a hastened adulthood, they adopted many resolves for their 50th Reunion in 1994, for attendance and for their reunion gift. Their success was remarkable. The Class is especially proud of the vehemence with which they broke the record for giving by a 50th Reunion Class. Their total of $332,195 beat the old mark by 82째/o and produced the second-largest reunion gift in the history of the College. The gifts helped to bring the T' 44 Scholarship Memorial fund to $247,~82 in gifts and bequests. "Quite something," they note, "for a class which had only 13 memable to graduate in 1944."

The Class of 1944 entered Trinity College at a trying time. Europe was at war. And unless we deluded ourselves, we knew in our hearts we likely would be directly involved sooner or later. On December 7, 1941, this prophecy was fulfilled. Our domestic American scene provided its own fears in 1940. We were more optimistic that year than in 1929, but the Great Depression still lingered. In truth, it really did not end until Hitler and Tojo forced us to make the tools of war that would save the United States and Western civilization. Well above half our class of'44 went to war overseas before ever graduating. Some died. Others were wounded. Scattered to the four winds, we drifted back to college at different times to earn our bachelor's degrees. Some continued in school for advanced degrees in the humanities, medicine, law, etc. Others started right in the marketplace. We had to make up for the years lost during World War II. We had no more time for the fun part of college - the parties, the foolishness that traditionally have been part of college life as far back as the late Middle Ages .... A grand classical education had taught us how to think - in fact, had given us the spiritual strength, the mental toughness

to survive the war, even battlefield hell; and the challenges and adversities that followed in our civilian lives . ... As we neared our 50th Reunion this year, we increasingly focused on how we could best pay back what Trinity College gave to us. Just 99 of us are left of our original class. Fifty-two of us have passed away. We of the '44 executive committee spoke among ourselves. We polled our classmates, and finally settled on our prime class project. Our class gift would be the T'44 Memorial Scholarship Fund. This fund is particularly directed toward scholarships for prospective Trinity College students whose families have never had a son or daughter enter college. We want to do our best to fulfill the American Dream for those who realistically had ) limited chances to better themselves. It is a far different world in America today than it was in 1940 .... Trinity College today spiritually and educationally continues in the forefront of America's great, primarily undergraduate colleges. Our Class of'44 is proud to be an integral contributing part of that great tradition. â&#x20AC;˘

Trinity's location- both in a capital city yet one small step removea from it - helped raise my political awareness by affording opportunities both for action and for contemplation (~s Dr. Ogilby told me when I first met him). Accordingly, immediately after Trinity, having experienced the total segregation of the U.S. armed forces during a war in which we were presumably fighting racism, I became a political activist. As a member of the American Veterans Committee (AVC) , I helped to manage - and served on the board of directors of- the first interracial eating club in Washington, D.C., and took part in other civil rights activities. .. .I have been involved in many political campaigns and other public

World War II really set a pace for our lives. A pace that had behind it the Great Depression.

Remembering a battle that never happened ... Deception Plan for ((Operation Olympic)) â&#x20AC;˘April1, 1995, marked the 50th anniversary of the invasion of Okinawa, an event recalled somberly by many Americans, including Lewis M. Walker '38, Commander USNR (retired). Over the years since that date, he has had many opportunities to reflect . on the events of that spring, including one topsecret plan of the Navy, which involved him. In the following article, excerpted from a paper which he presented last year at a naval conference, "World War II in the Pacific," he recounts his part in the planning for a bold, and ultimately unnecessary "Operation Olympic."

by Lewis M. Walker '38

may be the only surviving Naval officer to have direct knowledge of a deception plan related to "Operation Olympic," the proposed assault on the Kurile Islands of Japan on November 15, 1945. "Operation Olympic" is of interest from an historical viewpoint, and is covered to a considerable degree in the National Archives as "Operation Coronet," the main assault planned for the Tokyo area on March 1, 1946. What is not covered in the Archives is any clear reference to a deception plan that was formulated in late May and early June 1.945 whose purpose was to make the Japanese believe the "Olympic" assault was taking place sometime near the end of October 1945, rather than on the actual established date of November 15. As is well recorded, the Japanese resorted to the use of suicide plane missions against the Navy during the assault on Okinawa. They did not resist the landing phase on Sunday, April 1, 1945, but on Friday and Saturday, April 5 and 6, the fleet suffered over 600 kamikaze attacks, and many casualties. At Okinawa, we had 26 ships sunk, 368 ships damaged, and 4,900 people killed and 5,000 wounded. For the first two months at Okinawa, the Navy counted more dead and wounded than the Army and M arines combined. The attacks continued daily and often at night throughout April, M ay and early June.

Admiral Richmond Kelly Turner was the senior Naval officer in the area. He witnessed these kamikaze attacks, and the Naval losses, from his flagship, USS Eldorado. The leading pl an-ner in the Navy, Turner was a brilliant but demanding leader. He got things done. In February 1945 he had started planning for the invasion ofJapan: "Operation Olympic," on November 15, 1945, would land 500,000 men oq the southern islands of Japan, to secure air and naval bases with which to support the main attack on Honshu and the Tokyo area; "Operation Coronet," with 1,000,000 troops, on March 1, 1946. The ferocity of the kamikaze attacks throughout April and May convinced Admiral Turner that had the enemy launched a major kamikaze attack on our shipping the first day or two of our landing effort, coordinated with a massive counterattack of Japanese troops, we would probably ~ave been prevented from getting the great force of troops and supplies ashore that we did. He came to believe that the enemy also recognized this, and would be prepared to vigorously oppose the landing on Kyushu with thousands of suicide planes, boats and baka bombs (piloted engine-less gliders launched from mother planes). If our assault forces were thus opposed from the first hour, the chances of carrying out a successful landing would, in all probability, be crushed. Admiral Turner's plan was ingenious. We would form a fleet of 400 ships, sufficient to carry 500,000 men, equipment, supplies, and protective screen, etc. However, no troops would be carried - no equipment would be aboard. The screening carriers would carry only fighter planes. This phantom fleet would be large enough to be credible to the Japanese and would go through all the usual routines associated with a normal assault. Pre-recorded radio traffic would fill the airwaves; boats, with no troops aboard, would be put in the water; a line of departure would be formed; and, waves of boats would approach the control vessels marking the line of departure. Shore bombardment would follow, and the enemy, believing this was the main assault, would unleash their thousands of suicide defenders. The risk to the US Navy was the probable loss of many of the 400 ships involved, along with their operating crews. But the reward, if successful, was the elimination of the kamikaze force in the Kuriles , and the assured success of"Operation Olympic," when it took place two weeks later.

The top-secret memo which was the long-sought verification for Walker.

I learned of my involvement in this deceptive scheme in June 1945. At the ti~e, I was commanding officer ofUSS _SC1272, a submarine chaser attached to the 5th Fleet. We were to protect hospital ships, supply ships and cripples with a smoke cover to protect them during air attack. This duty was every night, following an all-clay presence at radar picket sta~on #9, one of 13 stations ringing Okinawa to give early warning of approaching enemy planes to the forces inside the picket line. We also were called upon for special assignments, such as the penetration ofNakagusuku Wan (later called Buckner Bay) . We were the first American ship to enter this bay, the reported base of midget submarines and suicide motor boats. Mter a sweep of

pinned down at Shuri Castle. For a small ship, we had many interesting assignments, apparently to the satisfaction of Captain B.B. Adell, USN, who was commander control group for Admiral Turner. Captain Adell summoned me in early June 1945. He informed me under sworn secrecy, that I was to return to Pearl Harbor and take command ofUSS PCS-1379, a larger ship, and then return to him at Okinawa. He told me of the deception plan being formulated, and that my job would be to command the central wntrol ship. By the time I assumed command of the 1379, in late August 1945, Japan had surrendered, making the return to Okinawa unnecessary. I shortly thereafter left active duty and returned to civilian life. Forty years went by, and I had not disclosed the plans for the "Olympic" deception to anyone. Then in 1985, I met George McMillan, a well known author who was commissioned by Random House to write a book to be titled The Invasion ofjapan. It would describe the planned two-part invasion, code-named "Olympic" and "Coronet," assuming the atomic bomb had not been available, and the war would be carried to completion by the all-out assault on Japan itself George interviewed m:: a number of times, and prevailed upon me to write various recollections for him. I continued this writing during 1986 and 1987, consisting of various chapters which I eventually put into chronological order and published under the title, "Ninety Day Wonder." One of the things I had disclosed to George was the planned deceptive attack on Kyushu. George was surprised that he had never heard of this, which suggested that it had indeed been carefully guarded. Unfortunately, George McMillan acquired Lou Gehrig's Disease and died in 1987, his work unfinished and unpublished. Some of the incidents I had written about needed clarification, and others I wanted to verify with official records. I wanted to track down the historical proof supporting my recollection of the proposed decoy invasion, and the part PCS1379 was to play in it. I went to the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, but found ·no records or historian who could shed any light on it. Then I journeyed to the National Archives in Washington, where I spent several days poring through all the records relating to operation "Olympic." There was no reference to any planned decoy invasion or feint intended to draw out the kamikazes. However, in the voluminous records of the planning for "Olympic" entitled ''Arrangements for Preparation, Initiation and Coordination of 'Operation Olympic"' was one curious

The term "by letter," suggested the highest degree of security, being delivered only by official courier. I had only one last recourse- the Naval Historical Center

On May 27, 1988, Dr. Allard wrote to me and confirmed that the deception plan was in fact planned at the highest levels and would in all likelihood have been implemented had the war continued. Had the plan been carried out as scheduled in late October 1945, the full weight of Japan's kamikaze force would have carried out a frenzied attack. Whether they were successful and crashed into our mostly empty ships, or were shot down, or fell damaged, into the sea, one thing was certain.

He would look into it and get back to me.

Top administrators named In his first months since taking office, President Evan Dobelle has announced the appointment of three top administrative officers. Jim Mullen was named vice president for strategic planning and government relations; Christopher Small, vice president for enrollment management; and Linda S. Campanella, vice president for marketing and public relations.

Christopher Small, vice president for enrollment management

Jim Mullen, vice president for strategic planning and government relations Mullen, formerly vice president for fiscal and developmental affairs at Middlesex Community College in Lowell, Mass., began at Trinity in August, overseeing long-range planning, including the College's master plan and its coordination with the plans of neighboring institutions. "I am excited about the potential Jim will bring to Trinity. His expertise in educational planning as well as government and community relations will be an asset to the College and the C ity of Hartford," President Dobelle said. In addition to his work at Middlesex, Mullen's professional experience includes serving as special projects coordinator for the City of Springfield (Mass.) Office of Community Development and as executive assistant to Peter Goldmark, during his tenure as executive director of the New York-New Jersey Port Authority. Mullen holds a doctorate in higher education from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and a master's degree in public policy from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, where he served as marshal of his class. He also holds a bachelor's degree magna cum laude from the College of the Holy Cross.

Christopher Small, the former vice president for administration and director of athletics at the University of Tulsa in Oklahoma, was hired for the position of vice president for enrollment management. "Chris Small brings extensive admissions and management experience to Trinity," said Dobelle. "He will provide leadership and forward thinking in student recruitment, an area in which Trinity is committed to expanding and diversifying further." In this new position at Trinity, Small will oversee all recruitment efforts, in pursuit of the College's goal to have the most academically superior, the most intellectually curious and the most diverse student body of any liberal arts college in the country. During his nine-year tenure in Tulsa, Small served as vice president in several areas. From 1986-89 he ~as vice president for student services, responsible for admissions, financial aid and all student services areas. From 1989-91 he was vice president for student and administrative services, adding development and university relations to his duties. From 1991-94 he served as vice president fo r administration, adding responsibilities for the departments of housing, dining, international students, recreational and intercollegiate sports, student activities, and safety and security. Small's previous experience includes tenure as dean of admissions and financial aid at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y., and dean of admissions and student services at Ripon College in Ripon, Wis. Small earned his bachelor's degree in history at Ripon College and his master's degree in American Colonial History at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Mass. He is a native of Bellport, N.Y.

Linda s. Campanella, vice president for marketing and public relations Linda S. Campanella, previously the vice president of marketing and planning at Pratt & Whitney, began her du~ies as vice president for marketing and public relations at Trinity in August. "Trinity has found a dynamic and experienced professional in Linda Campanella," said Dobelle. "With her extensive marketing background and business skills she will provide the College with tremendous leadership and an integrated marketing and public relations program." In this position, she will be responsible for developing and implementing strategies to draw widespread attention to the College's strengths and distinctions, solidify Trinity's reputation as one of the nation's premier liberal arts colleges, and leverage the unique advantages which Trinity's city location offers prospective students. She is expected to work closely with faculty, students, alumni and administration to position Trinity as the college of choice in an increasingly competitive market. Campanella spent 10 years with United Technologies Corporation (UTC), from 1985 to 1988 in the Washington, D.C. office, followed by two years in corporate headquarters, and the past five years at Pratt & Whitney. Prior to working at UTC, she was an international trade negotiator in the executive branch as director of aerospace trade policy in the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. Campanella graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa with a bachelor's degree in German from Amherst College and earned a master's in foreign service as an honors graduate from Georgetown University School ofForeign Service.

Commencement '95 Kennelly calls upon Trinity graduates to redefine community

S aying " ... only the educated and the informed can successfully debate the purveyors of prejudice, hate, and anarchy," U.S. Rep. Barbara Kennelly M'71 (D-Conn.) called upon Trinity's newest graduates to "redefine community [and] ... the way we live together as citizens in a democracy. "Americans seem to find less and less time to volunteer, to work together, to associate," Kennelly said at Trinity's 169th Commencement ceremony. Speaking to an audience of several thousand on a sparkling May day, the former Trinity trustee noted that "This is happening even while federal budget cuts are demanding that our churches, our homeless shelters, and our other volunteer groups do more. "Just as your grandparents struggled to lift America from the Great Depression and fought to defeat the Nazi menace; just as your parents helped bring about unprecedented prosperity and the end of the Cold War; so you must take on the task of redefining what it means to be a contributing member of a free society," she said. "You must find new ways to participate-in the workplace, as a neighbor, and as a citizen." Liberal Arts Graduates Are Well Prepared Kennelly noted that the grad uates are entering a world, and a workplace, that are changing "with dizzying speed." The Trinity graduates, however, are equipped to meet the challenges ahead of them, she said. "I see you, as liberal arts graduates, as particularly well prepared," Kennelly told the grad uates. "Frankly, there are no merely technical skills that will last a lifetime any more. What will serve you best is the intellectual endowment your education at Trinity has enriched: that is, your ability to learn, to adapt, and to assimilate. With these qualities, you will be able not only to seize the opportunities- but to create them." Degrees Awarded Four hundred seventy-seven bachelor's, 43 master's, and nine honorary doctoral degrees were presented at Commencement. Valedictorian of the class was mathematics major Adam K. Ondricek of Springfield, M ass. Salutatorian Karen Sullivan of Glastonbury, Conn. graduated with honors in English, earning her degree through Trinity's Individualized Degree Program for adult students.

ALONG THE WALK President Dobelle, right, signs agreement with Pingtung Teachers College of Taiwan; President Fred Fwu-Tyan Ho is at left.

Trinity creates link with college in Taiwan Over Commencement weekend, a significant new connection was formalized: Trinity and the Nationi!l Pingtung Teachers College of Taiwan established a partnership. The new partnership will permit one Trini ty graduate who is a student of Chinese

to teach English in Pingtung each year. Trinity, for its part, will an nu.ally bring one student from Pingtung to study at the College. T he agreemen t between the two institutions creates the likelihood of fac ulty exchanges and encourages collaborative research projects that wi ll link the two fac ulties . President Dobelle and Pingtung President Fred Fwu-Tyan Ho signed the

partners hip agreement during a Saturday luncheon w ith the Trinity trustees. President Ho also received an honorary degree at Commencement. Architect of the partner- · ship is Michael Lestz '68, associate professor of history and director of international studies . "This agreement is significant because it's Trinity's first institution-to-institution exchange with a college or university in East Asia," Lestz says. "It will give Trinity; like Yale or Amherst, a way of regularly sending its best students of C hinese language and East Asian studies to work for a period of time in the Republic of China." Lestz notes that, because Pingtung is a state-operated institution, Trinity had to obtain the permission of Taiwan's Ministry of Education in negotiating the agreement . . Ho has been president of National Pingtung Teachers College since 1988 and is one of the Republic of China's foremost experts on the training of educators for early childhood and elementary school education. He is well-known in Taiwan's educational community for his personal visitation of more than 300 elementary schools overseen by Pingtung in 1993-94. Trinity offers an undergraduate degree in Asian Studies. Among the languages taught at the College are Chinese and Japanese. •

Trinity's community'service efforts count in the city Trinity volunteers made positive contributions to Hartford during the 1994-95 academic year. Coordinated through the College community service office and 'oth er departme!'lts, a host of new and ongoing projects added up signifi cantly in terms of hours and dollars contributed by students and the other members of the Trin ity College community. "We have dedicated student, faculty, staff and administration volunteers here at Trinity," says Tara Gill, coordinator of the community service office. "Their efforts are appreciated and they truly do impact our neighborhoods." Statistics maintained by Gill's office showed the foll owing in the 1994-95 academic year, for ongoing volunteer placements, onetime placements, donations and community attendance :

298 ongoing Trinity volunteers in 22 programs; (approximately 73 percent were women) 591 one~time volunteers in 14 events sponsored by no fewer than seven departments or organizations on campus 596 hours of community service, w ith an average time commitment of two hours a week

Terry Lee is shown with Masai people from her study abroad as an undergraduate.

Senior Terry Lee wins Fulbright Grant Teresa Lee '95 was awarded a Fulbright grant to teach English in Korea for the 1995-96 academic year. According to the]. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board and the United States Information Agency (USIA), Lee is one of nearly 2,000 U.S. grantees traveling abroad this year under the Fulbright Program. Established in 1946 under Congressional legislation introduced by former Senator Fulbright of Arkansas, the program is designed "to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries." Born in Korea, Lee has lived in the U.S. since infancy. Much of her interest in education stems from her mother's experi-

ences teaching in Korea in the late '60s and early '70s . During her year abroad, she expects to teach English as a second language to middle- or high school students ten hours each week. She also plans to spend time researching the impact of American culture on Korean culture, particularly since the time of the Seoul Olympics. Lee is particularly

Young alumni eligible for Luce Program

If your 30th birthday falls after September 1, 1996, you might be eligible to apply to be a Luce Scholar in Asia in 1996-97 (expenses are paid by the Henry Luce Foundation). Trinity is one of three-score American colleges which have been invited to submit nominations in the fall of 1995. The deadline to submit a draft nomination to the Office of International Programs at Trinity is Monday, October 16, 1995. Anyone interested in this possibility should contact Robbins Winslow, director of international programs at Trinity (phone- 860297-2437; fax- 860-297-2257; or electronic mail robbins.winslow@mail. trincoll. edu), well in advance of this deadline to discuss his or her nomination. The following excerpts from Foundation material provide a sketch of the program; more information is available from Winslow. The program is "experiential rather than academic in nature. At the heart of the enterprise are the internships ... These work assignments run ... from mid-September until July... " The program is meant " ... to broaden their [young alumni] professional perspectives and to sharpen their perceptions of Asia, of America, and of themselves." "Candidates should have a record of the highest academic achievement, combined with the evidence of outstanding leadership ability. More important than any other single criterion, candidates must have a mature and clearly defined career interest in a specific field and must have given evidence of potential for professional accomplishment within that field. Applications cannot be considered from whose who already have had significant exposure to Asian culture or who have a specific career interest in Asian affairs." •

Maya Angelou

New class is biggest in several years Events in First-Year Program greet Class cf'99

The College launched its dynamic, new First-Year Program with incoming new students, starting with three exciting evening programs in late August: An Evening with Maya Angelou, a talk with Ralph Nader, and a mock press conference with Thomas Jefferson scholar/impersonator Clay J enkinson. The Class of'99, 509 strong, is the first to participate in this yearlong program linking their intellectual and residential experiences. "The academic and social transition to college life is particularly challenging to firstyear students," says David Reuman, associate professor of psychology and director of the First-Year Program. "Rather than limit our energies to a one-week orientation, First-Year enables us to provide an organized, ongoing learning environment that encourages collaboration among students , faculty and administration." "Angelou, Nader and the Jeffersonian scholar were chosen to kick off Trinity's First-Year program for reasons beyond name recognition and entertainment value," says Senior Associate Dean of Students Mary

Thomas. "Each professional speaks to issues that will touch students' lives while at Trinity and after they h'ave graduated." In addition to the guidance ne~ students receive from the faculty leader of their fi·eshman seminar (renamed First-Year Seminars), they get support from First-Year mentors, selected juniors or seniors who provide academic assistance, counseling and programming for students. Mentors live among First-Year students in one of six designated coed dorms on calppus; each student is assigned to a room with or near others enrolfed in the same seminar. Resident assistants also live in these dorms. The C lass of 1999 is the largest since the Class of 1992. Its members came· to Trinity from more than 350 different high schools nationwide in 35 states and the District of Colu!llbia and 12 foreign countries. "This has been a very successful year in admissions," says Dean of Admissions David Borus '68. "The yield on our offers of admission increased and we consequently have an unusually large and able group of students joining ns this fall. " Applications increased by 1.5 percent this year and the number of students accepted to the College \ decreased . The largest percentage of students come from Massachusetts, fo llowed by Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and California. Minority students make up 16.5 percent of the Class of 1999, with 84 students who are Asian-American, Mrican-American, Hispanic/Latina or Native American. There are also 23 sons and daughters of Trinity al umni and an increase in first-year students who have brothers or sisters who attend or graduated from the College. •

Tom McDavitt '95 has continued his football career by playing professionally, in Germany.

Fall Preview The T:rinity football team,

despite losing 13 starters and 18 letter-winners, will seek its 16th consecutive winning season. The captain, All-New England linebacker.Ryan Hankard '96, led the team in tackles (132) a year ago. Also returning for the Bantams will be senior offensive linemen Tiger Reardon and John Dugan. Head Coach Don Miller (154-65-5) will have to find a quarterback to replace Steve Mikulski '95, who graduated after two brilliant seasons leading the high-scoring Bantam offense. The season-opener was at Colby on September 23, a game scheduled to be broadcast on New England Sports Network (NESN) the following night, tape-delayed. The men's soccer team will look to replace last season's leading scorer Patrick Bruno '95 with high-scoring forwards Greg Cartin '96, Kevin Kane '96, and Sean McElligott '96. In goal, P.J. Louis, who had a 1.61-goals against average in 1994, returns for his senior season.

M.:Davitt plays Pro Football In Ger10any Tom McDavitt '95, an AllNew England wide receiver in 1994 and the College's alltime leader in receiving yards and touchdowns, played football in the German Football League for the Noris Rams. The German League allows eight Americans on a team and only two on the field at the same time. McDavitt, the NESCAC Offensive Player of the Year in 1994, played wide

receiver. In four games, he accumulated 11 catches for 160 yards and three touchdowns. Showing his versatility, McDavitt also saw time at quarterback, punt returner, punter, and free safety for the Rams, who were 4-4 in midJuly. McDavitt, in a phone interview, explained that the German Football League is comparable to Division I-A or IAA collegiate football. "The guys here are big. However, they seem to respect my skills and have confidence in my abilities to make me a big part of the team." The Rams play 12 games in the regular season, with the hope of advancing to the playoffs for the German Bowl, like the American Super Bowl. The fans support football in Germany, even though soccer is also popular there. "Germans love football," said McDavitt. "Even though some of the fans don't really understand some of the plays and concepts, they really are enthusiastic. We have crowds over 5,000." McDavitt will be back in Hartford this fall, working as an assistant coach for the Bantam football team, in charge of the receivers. He still hopes to continue his professional football career. "I may get a shot to play in the Canadian Football League next year. If not, I may return to Germany and play there again."

AI Carbone '95 capped his Trinity career by earning All- New England honors at first base.

Adil '91 and Henry DePhillips, Jr. The Paul Wayland Bartlett Society (53 Desmond Drive, Wethersfield, CT 06109) 80 pages, paperback, $9.95 Alunma Adil and DePhillips, the Vernon K. Krieble Professor of Chemistry at Trinity, published this book about Connecticut sculptor Paul Bartlett in 1994. Bartlett experimented extensively in his Paris fotmdry with the lost-wax casting of bronzes and the color patination ofbronzes and other materials. According to the authors, Bartlett's work displays an astounding depth of knowledge of chemical reactions as they relate to the patination of a wide variety of materials. Moreover, they say, Bartlett was the principal force behind the transfer of this technology to America's fledgling foundries. The book analyzes primary-source notes obtained directly from Bartlett's papers and translates them into terms of modem-day chemistry. Some 200 sculptures by Bartlett are located in art museums, universities, government buildings and private collections. His Lafayette equestrian was presented to France in 1900 by the United States as a thank-you gift for the Statue ofLiberty. The only copies were conmussioned for Metz, France, and Hartford, Conn.

LEW GIFFIN writes, "GEORGE MACKIE, Class Agent of the Class of '31, is no longer with us (see In Memory). Pneumonia, the 'old man's friend,' took him in April. He was a faithful friend to Trinity College. For 64 years he acted as Class Agent. He was the glue that kept his class informed and welded together in bonds of friendship. In all those years he never mis~ed a football game until this past year when infirmities kept him housebound. He was a faithful member of his church. He will be sadly missed.

Rest in peace, old friend." Class Agent: G. Jerome Wyckoff

On May 22 HUGH CAMPBELL was presented with the "Buist M. Anderson Distinguished Service Award" by the Association of Life Insurance Counsel. He was chosen by the ALIC board of directors for his outstanding service to the industry and the association, having served as president and in several other offices in addition to his distinguished career in the life insurance industry. During 40 years of service with the law department of Phoenix Home Life, he played a pivotal role in many of the legal and regulatory issues facing the life insurance industry at a critical point in history. In particular, he had a significant role on behalf of the industry at hearings before Congress and the Connecticut Legislature on the debate concerning antitrust reform following the Southeastern Underwriters litigation. He has been active also in numerous civic and educational organizations, including the Wadsworth Atheneum and the Wethersfield Library Board, as well as Trinity. He was chosen for this honor for these contributions and for his integrity and humanity. Julius Smith, D.M .D. 142 Mohawk Dr. West Hartford, Conn. 06117

GEORGE LACOSKE was selected for "Who's Who in New England." He is a volunteer assistant teacher at Casimir Pulaski School in Meriden where he helps with reading and writing and teaches a course in ethics. In addition, he was appointed by Meriden's mayor to oversee the refurbishing and renovation of the senior center. He notes, " Incidentally, I'm a fiscal conservative Democrat, but alive to human causes."

SHERRY RAYMOND chairs the development committee of Yarmouth's (Mass.) historical society, which involves not only membership and publicity, but also hospitality and ways and means. The society's chief project this year is the production of a 40-minute video on the history ofYarmouth and the immediate Cape Cod area. JACK HANNA reports that his essay, "Skiing at Eighty," appeared in the local papers of Portland, M aine' and "drew a wide and apparently delighted senior audience." Jack also speaks and leads discussions at senior centers and nursing homes in both Cumberland and York counties . His topics include "Blossoms and Bombshells," on modern poetry, and "Straight and Crooked Thinking," on logical fallacies in contemporary arguments and advertisements. "Broker Profile: Robert I. McKee" is the title of a feature article in the Los Angeles Daily Commerce. A founding member of the American Industrial Real Estate Association, Bob served in World War II as a skipper in command of a landing craft tank at Omaha Beach, w here he dropped numerous cargoes. Later, he served in the Pacific as executive officer of a landing ship tank (LST) and participated in the invasion of Okinawa. After the War, McKee entered the industrial real estate field, first in Las Vegas and then in Beverly Hills. H e selected store sites, arranged purchases, and sup ervised the removal of existing buildings. By 1956 he had opened his own office on Wilshire Boulevard. A charter member of the Certified C ommercial Investment group, he won the Clinton B. Snyder Award for "the most imaginative exchange transaction in the United States." Bob explains it this way: "I sold nine service stations to a gro up of

doctors. When the leases expired, the buyers were able to sell, through me, for big profits. My last sale produced $1,050,000 - it had cost $150,000!" Would he do it over again? "Yes," Bob replied. " I am a frustrated musician. If I had followed music," [l}.e is a concert pianist] "I would have been a musical hack. This way, I am a successful industrial broker and an amateur musician. I have the best of both worlds." In addition to his interest in music, Bob writes fiction. His latest, Right Full Rudder, I Said, depicts a suspenseful moment docking the Queen Mary at its berth in Manhattan during a 70knot gale and a strike by dock workers and tugboat crews. Bob reports that on a recent stopover in Phoenix, he visited with HARRY DAVIS whom he first met in 1925 w hen both were members of the choir of Grace Church in Utica, N.Y. Bob w rites that Harry still retains his wry wit. All of it. Back from a cruise of the Greek isles as well as a to ur of Switzerland, SAL PIACENTE writes, "The 'Silver Wind's' cabins and itinerary were fabulous - the only ones I know that live up to a line's brochure. As for Switzerland, if you started converting Swiss francs to dollars every time you ate, you'd end up at McDonald's." (Editor's Note: The preceding information was sent by Jack Hanna who keeps the alumni office up-to-date on many of his classmates. The following report comes from BOB CHRISTENSEN.) First off, this is to announce the re.turn ofBob Christensen to the office of Secretary of the Class of '36. At least that is the decision of Jack Hanna and myself. Jack has served as secretary, in his own inimitable fashion for the past several issues of the Reporter. He wondered if I might be willing to return to the position, and I am glad to do so. We have assumed thatJERRY HANSEN '51 (director of alumni and college relations) will not dispute our deciSion.

Jack has and is serving as both secretary and agent for the class of '32 at Kent School in western Connecticut. We must recognize that Kent School preceded Trinity. Last year he was still instructing classes at the University of Southern Maine, where he is professor emeritus of literature.

make me feel awfully idle. So, here I am. From BOB MCKEE, the following, in part: " I have, through disuse, lost the slight ability I once had to sing. To be a part of a performance of good music is a privilege at any age. I am studying piano and can play most of the last piano works of Brahms. C urrently I am trying to master the Prelude, Chorale and Fugue of Cesar Franck (1886) . I know just enough abut the piano to know that I am not playing very well and I am not improving. It is an absorbing activity, nonetheless ." From DOUG RANKIN: "Marguerite passed away last October and life for me is not the same. We had our honeymoon on the Cape and returned there every summer and fall (Harwichport area) . We saw many changes in the 48 years. It is still nice the minute one passes over the bridge! My sailing ended w hen Marguerite could no longer handle the bow lines. We had 42 years on the beautiful waters of Ipswich Bay and Plum Island Sound. I am a life member of the Ipswich Bay Yacht Club and pas t commodore, so I still keep my oars in the water." FromJACK (AMOS) CARR: "The Carrs took off on their regular summer exploration of the wild and wonderful Northwestern states. They visited Pinedale, Wyo., once again, to enjoy that charming little town's re-creation of the famous 'Rendezvous on the Green.' Jackson Hole, Grand Tetons and Yellowstone followed, as did the obligatory stay in spectacular Glacier National Park. The trip back to Orange Beach took a side trip to Evergreen, Colo. to welcome a new路 granddaughter, Shelby Rose. A perfect climax to all the other summer delights!" Robert M.

Typical of any class after 56 years, there's not too much major activity. No new Nobel Prize winners, no literary prize winners and no lottery winners (unless someone is holding out to surprise us with a major donation to Trinity). Nonetheless, there is some news. YOUR SCRIBE has had several responses to his plea for information, and he thanks you. Appropriate to our age group, we have reports of j oin t repairs, age-related illnesses and BOB MUIR with chicken pox, w hich says something abo ut his age. But it was complicated by pneumonia; he spent two weeks in the hospital and is now recuperating. JACK WILCOX received a new hip joint last fall. "Doing nicely, but H elen still has to tie my right shoe," he reports. We also have some very active guys. HANK HAYDEN says "swimming and golf are regular activities," while MIKE BASSFORD writes, " I have always been opposed on principle to exercise and sports, but I finally broke down last summer and took up the game of lawn bowling. Little talent but lots of fun." Your Secretary, now permanently moved to Florida, has joined the norm: morning group exercises, shuilleboard and billiards occasionally, and afternoon swimming. As for late-blooming talent, Hank Hayden paints regularly out there in Claremont, Calif. and reports that he sold 33 of his watercolors last year. That's a lot, even for a professional! He is retired after a 40-year career in the Congregational ministry, serving from N ew England to Hawaii with stops in California and New Mexico. He finds nearby Pomona College, about the size ofTrinity, to abound with lectures, concerts and other activities.

Classes of 1935 & 1940

Dear Class of 1935,

reetings from your newly elected CLASS SECRETARY The subject of this letter is the June Reunion at our Col-

lege. As in previous years,JERRY HANSEN '51 and his assistants did an outstanding job of managing this event. Previous attendees will remember the diversity and high quality of the various activities. There really was something, or more, for every graduate who attended. Our Class joined others in a luncheon with the new President, Evan Dobelle. He is a tall, genial, and outgoing type with the diverse background to join a line of fine past presidents. And he is assisted by a charming wife, Kit, who also greeted us. The next meeting was the Half Century reception and dinner in Mather Hall. Great to see old friends. I was seated with classmates TOM HAGARTY, who is suffering with facial surgery and showed anyway, and JACK ZIETLOW, who is healthy, intellectual and as obstreperous as remembered. An enjoyable serving in this evening was the seafood appetizer table loaded with all the goodies that are so rare and expensive on the West Coast. The College lost money on my ticket. The next marvel was the clambake on the Quad that for a seafood lover was very enjoyable and efficiently served. All classes up to and including 1940 met under one tent. Here it must be stated, that the College arranged for an open bar with all the lunches and dinners we attended. I saw no overindulgence. A campus tour presented the fine new buildings for the better education of students. The Ferris Athletic Center has displays "that summon grand memories, some of which are listed in a following paragraph. We attended several interesting lectures by faculty: "Clipper Ships and Open Boats," the story of ):wo graduates who were shipwrecked off the coast of South America in 1866 and survived; "The Soviet Union" (how things are today and may be later); and for computer nerds "Surfing the INTERNET," a

hands-on class. You would have enjoyed the Annual Reunion Class Parade. It was led by a brass band followed by a 1923 Ford sedan driven by the Class of 1940. Riding were one member of the Class of 1930 and his wife. Next in line, two more men from the 1930 Class, one of whom marched with his wife and a small dog. Then came the great Class of 1935 -Jack Zietlow and, carrying the sign, your Secretary. The parade ended on the Quad with a meeting of the National Alumni Association. Many classes presented the College with very large checks, both in dimension and amount tendered. All in all, it was a rewarding meeting, and maybe we can make a Reunion in 2000. Please surprise the new Secretary with cards, letters and phone calls. It's disappointing to see a blank space for 1935 in the page of the Trinity Reporter devoted to class news. A walk through the Ferris Athletic Center was rewarding! It brings back glorious memories of great teams of the past. First, in the lobby is a football used in one of the games in our undefeated, untied season, inscribed with the score of each game. Photos of football captains back to 1862 include JACK MAHER of our Class who appears again as the Most Valuable Player that year. Also displayed is my brother,JOHN '39, who captained the '38 team. There are large oak boards on the walls engraved with the names of sports captains. For b~sketball,JOHNNY MARTENS; track, LOU KELLAM (also a great in football); and for baseball and football, my high school classmates JOHN AMPORT (captain in 1934) and Jack Maher. BILL HENEBRY '34 captained the '35 team. Naturally, I gazed with affection at the team photos of our Class. We had some great ones in addition to those mentioned above: MIMI MARQUET, my roommate and our quarterback for four years, and PAUL ADAMS, track; HARLEN CHAPMAN, te'nnis and squash; FRANK EIGENBAUER, football and baseball; DUANE FLAHERTY, baseball; GEORGE DIC~RSON, swimlning; DENNY FARNELL, football; JIM HANAGHAN, football and baseball; ART HAZENBUSH, track; JOHN HERALD, basketball; RALPH HOULIHAN, basketball and baseball; TOMMY KEARNS, basketball and baseball; MAL LANE, track; HARRY OLSON, soccer; TERRY MOWBRAY, four sports; BOB ROACH, football; SIS SAMPERS, football and basketball; TOM SISBOWER, track; RALPH SLATER, baseball; BILL WARNER, basketball and track. I must not forget MICKY (the Cobra) KOBROSKY, the All American running back; without him we would not have achieved that undefeated season in 1934. -R. Pearce Alexander

or all of us who attended the 55th Reunion of our Class, the event could not have been better. The office of alumni relations and the local weather cooperated to present us with the utmost in hospitality, a well prepared program and a campus more beautiful to behold than before. We enjoyed the privilege of being introduced for the first time to our recently chosen President of the College, Evan Do belle, and his family. He promises to bode well for Trinity. The following list of members of our C lass participated in the Reunion activities: GUSTAVE and PEGGY M'66 ANDRIAN, Dorothy (Mrs . HERBERT) BLAND, WALLY BORIN, GUIDO CAMMISA, CLARENCE and Ruth GRANDAHL,ALVIN and Jean HOPKINS, Irene (Mrs. WILLIAM) KELLY and son, Audrey (Mrs. RICHARD) LINDNER, THOMAS and Doris MCLAUGHLIN, RICHARD and Alice MORRIS, RICHARDSON ONDERDONK, STEPHEN and Irene RILEY, DONALD and Patricia SMITH, LESTER TIBBALS, CHARLES DODSLEYWALKER and DUNCANYETMAN. The Saturday morning parade, under a beautiful sky, was led by an antique car driven by CHARLIE WALKER '47, w hich set just the right pace for us. We were third in line after a few good men from the Classes of '30 and '35 . The parade was followed by the meeting of the National Alumni Association on the Quadrangle. For the Class of 1940 Steve Riley and Wally Borin presented our Class Gift, an oversized check covering our contribu-

tions to the 1994-95 campaign. The Class goal of $10,250 was exceeded, with 46 percent of the Class participating. T he final amount was $12,520! At the Class meeting for the election of officers for the next five years, the members present elected Walter E. Borin, Class President; Clarence B. Grandahl, Class Secretary; and Stephen M. Riley, Esq., C lass Agent. We certainly want to express our appreciation to AL HOPKINS for his many years of dedicated leadership, and we are confident that we will continue to see him from time to time. COL. R . PEARCE ALEXANDER '35 and two of his classmates plus one member of the Class of 1930 were invited to dine with us at our Class dinner in the North Terrace Room of the newly enlarged Mather Hall. Pearce, you may recall, is the brother of the late JOHN ALEXANDER '39 and of our own H. STANLEY (STAN) ALEXANDER, who died most recently. Stan was married to the late RICHARD LINDNER's sister, Marian. If you missed this Reunion, we sincerely hope you make the next one five years hence. But better yet, come to Homecoming this year, or any year for that matter. Your new slate of officers and as many others as we can entice to come can promise you a reunion then.

m In a continuation of the chronicle of LOU BUCK's involvement in the affairs of his adopted home, DON DAY sent me a newspaper clipping with

picture of Lou's being sworn in as a member of the town council of Indian River Shores, Fla. As for himself, Don reports " I have had muscle surgery on both eyes and will get glasses fine-tuned aft er one month of healing. Still try to play tennis, golf and banjo none very well." I had a Christmas greeting from C HI CK KIRKBY, who has apparently retired. He said that he averages between 20 and 25 hours a week in volunteer work: taking cancer patients to the hospital for treatment, a breakfast program and a food pantry. To quote him direedy, " I keep healthy, reasonably moral and just about as ornery as ever, although I may be slipping a bit in the last category. Every so often I catch myself feeling tolerant toward all the stupid people in the world and all the idiotic things they do or say. I'll have to work on that." Yes, indeed. We would hate to see C hick ge tting soft and mushy on us. MOE BORNSTEIN has retired and turned the Kingswood M arket in West Hartford over to his son, David. Moe still works in the Market which is now about 75 years old. "The w ives of all the presidentsa nd chairmen of the board of all the leading banks were our customers," Moe said. I remember his telling me that John Filer, the now deceased former chairman of the Aetna and one of his good customers, invited him to be a participant in his weekly poker parties. When Moe learned that it was not unusual for the players to lose $300 a night he pleaded other engagements. David and his wife, Agneta, have a daughter, Kristina. Moe has been known to speak in favorable terms of his granddaughter. I recently had a chance to talk with JOHN O 'BRIEN. H e is retired from the full- time travel business, but occasionally leads groups to Europe, one time on a tour of the World War II battlefields. He said that he has tried to interest DICK MOODY, w ho has retired to Florida, to go to Europe with him. On a previous trip to England, Dick spent some time in the British records offices, trying to solve the mystery of Jack the Ripp er. One wo uld think that after over 100 years the trail would have grown cold, but Dick has apparently absorbed the traditional English bulldog determination.

m KENYUDOWITC H , one of '43's intellectuals, and a good athJete to o, has sent me a "draft" of an autobiography of his first onethird century, to wit: 1920-1993, inclusive. Ken, a physics Ph.D. has taught and/ or studied at, inter alia, Trinity, Columbia, Missouri University, Chicago University and Florida State University. H e has five children, 11 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. YOUR SECRETARY found Ken's book engrossing. He writes in a unique, interesting and humorous style. Anyone who grew up and attended public schools in Hartford during the 1920s and 1930s will relive his/her childhood-teen years through Ken's "total recall." Trinity classmates, near classmates and all who simply enj oy a good storyteller reminiscing of his undergraduate and graduate days at the College-on-the-Hill are sure to enjoy it. Former Weaver High School students of the period will love it. Ken has the faculty of weaving contemporary current events of moment, cultural landmarks and the achievements of the famous and the infamous of the period into his narrative, relating the same to his own progress through life. Ken worked as a researcher on the Manhattan Project and was involved with the early development of nuclear energy. H e has led an interesting life and has allowed no grass to grow under his feet. His inquisitive mind, errormous energy, exuberant good health, outgoing nature and genuine affection for his fellow man (especially the fema le gender) make this book enjoyable reading. The finished product, as well as sequels of later years, are looked forward to with enthusiasm.Your Secretary is placing a standing order with Ken for whatever is forthcoming .

The envelope which brought his book to us, including return address, was inadvertently discarded. When we have it, we will include it in a future edition of these notes so that other interested classmates might communicate directly with Ken concerning his book. Incidentally, proficiency in photography being another of Ken's attributes, numerous interesting contemporary photos of classmates, Trinity College, Weaver High School, early Hartford and Connecticut are adroitly sprinkled throughout Ken's book. The title: !Vhat am I Doing Here? (Growing Up in America in 1920-1966). PETE PETERSON, another of '43's intellectuals and a member of Phi Beta Kappa, phoned Your Secretary one evening while reading Ken's book, to ask me if I had read it, and to tell me how much he enjoyed it. Pete wanted Ken 's address so that he could write him about it. Pete, now retired, was a top reporter for The Hartford Times, which was at one time the Connecticut newspaper with the largest daily circulation. Pete recognizes the well-turned phrase when he reads it. BOB HINCKLEY writes that he recently obtained an 8x11 print of the photograph of classmates in attendance at our 50th Reunion from the alumni office for a nominal sum. Bob writes, "The first impression from reviewing it was that, not only were they very young, but handsome, too."Your Secretary's recollection is that Bob and Betsy Hinckley have attended Class Reunions every five years since "the memory of man runneth not to the contrary." JACK FAY, along with his wife, Marie, was at the funeral in Harwinton, Conn. of his brotherin-law, the Hon. Robert A.

Trinity College was host last Jan. 27 to the first state summit on school readiness in the United States. The Class of 1944's president, DR. HARRY R. GOSSLING, played a major role (and is still doing so) in the success of that symposium. In a subsequent recent address to the Connecticut General Assembly, Harry spoke against some state government efforts to cut back the budget of the Connecticut Commission on Children. "Prevention is the front-end strategy against crime, poor health, family strength and a decline in the social contract," said Harry, who is Gray-Gossling Professor and chairman emeritus of the department of orthopaedic surgery, University of Connecticut School of Medicine. Speaking of the Jan. 27 summit at Trinity, Harry said: "The Trinity College Class of 1944 recently Gune, 1994) celebrated its 50th anniversary from graduation and worked with the Commission to design a meaningful health-related event for children that would have long-term effects ... The capacity to organize, raise funds, bring in national experts, coordinate a mean-

NOTES

ingful event with action steps and follow-up was laudatory. This is one institution you (the legislature) might want to "claim ... with pride." That conference spoke of children coming to school unready to learn because of poor learning environments. The summit briefing paper noted that 82 percent of prisoners are high school dropouts - a figure now higher than the relationship of cancer to cigarette smoking. Harry had opened that Jan. 27 conference by introducing Trinity's interim president, BORDEN PAINTER '58, and noting that "Today we are facing one of the great crises in American society: the plight of children ... destined to be lost as independent participants in an increasingly complex world society. Society is becoming impatient with dependency but appears unable to deal with basic tenets of its causes." He likened Trinity College of 50 years ago as "a comfortable haven of intellectual pursuit in an urban neighborhood of working middle class families to today's sodifferent neighborhoods in decay, representative of the crisis in Hartford ... and in America." Participating at that Summit were a number of national, regional and state leaders in childhood education including the Carnegie Corporation's Fred M. Hechinger, Bush Center's Child Development Senior Associate Sharon Lynn Kagan ofYale University, Chairperson Laura Lee Simon of the Kids Count School Readiness Campaign, President Painter, the Connecticut State Department ofEducation's George Coleman, National Education Association President Keith Geiger, among many others. Also participating were parents' groups and representatives of caregivers, such as Yale-New Haven's Children's, Newington Children's and Hartford hospitals, and others. The American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (ASECS) honored the late SPIRO PETERSON as a Great Teacher through a contribution in his memory to its Shirley Bill Fund. Spiro was an English professor at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. He died in June 1992. The Great Teacher award was announced at the ASECS's annual meeting in Tucson, Ariz., April 59.

Spiro's wife, Yerevan, recently established the Spiro Peterson Center for Defoe Studies at 路 Miami's King Library. Spiro had

concentrated his scholarly research and writing on Daniel Defoe. The new Center includes books, microfilm, documents, notes and files primarily on Defoe and the history of the early novel. The collection has more than 70 different printings ofDefoe's most recognized work, Robinson Crusoe. The Center was dedicated officially by Miami University last March 26. In 1994, Spiro's wartime letters (1943-46) were given to the Trinity College/Watkinson Library's archives. Most of his letters were written to his brother, PETER W PETERSON '43, and a few were written to and received from Spiro.'s former professors, particularly Professor James Notopoulos, Spiro 's wife writes. Peter and Yerevan gave at least 70 letters to Trinity. Yerevan writes, "They truly belong in Trinity archives because they reflect his education and ambitions inspired by his experiences at Trinity College." A note of special interest from Interim President Painter: "One of the most enjoyable parts of this job is seeing the kind of support our alumni and other friends liave given to the College - and saying 'thanks' to those who have given it. I am especially pleased to report to you on the T' 44 Scholarship Fund, which provided income of $1,173.12 for financial aid last year. The very first T' 44 Scholar named by the director of financial aid is Adrian Reyes, a freshman from Bridgeport and graduate of Notre Dame High School. He is the first in his family to attend college ..." We are sure that our '44 classmates will be happy to learn that your generosity already is bringing results, and we wish Adrian well on his studies at Trinity College.

Two Bantam boosters at Reunion: Jerry Hansen is at right.

Thank you, jerry! At the meeting of the National Alumni Association and Reunion Awards presentation on Saturday, Director of Alumni and College Relations Gerald]. Hansen, ]r. '51 was surprised by the reading of the following citation in his honor, read by its author, Lee Coffin '85. Chagrined and pleased, Hansen admitted to surprising a number of award recipients over the years and found himself speechless when it was his turn. Along with the citation, the National Alumni Association presented Hansen with a gift certificate for a gas grill for his Cape Cod home.

n behalf of the alumni of Trinity College, the National Alumni Association is proud to honor jerry Hansen, Class of 1951, in recognition of his twenty years of service as Director of Alumni and College Relations. Jerry joined the Trinity administration in 1975 after many years as an alumni volunteer leader in his beloved Philadelphia and has served four College presidents and survived three office managers. As one of the longest-serving administrators at the College today, jerry is known for his bow ties, duck belts, kelly green jackets and booming laugh - all of which add color to the College landscape and vitality to its operation. jerry's longevity and success are no accidenti he is a tireless and effective champion of the College and its 19,000-plus alumni. To the nearly 10,000 alumni who have

NOTES

graduated since his term began two decades ago, jerry Hansen is the alumni relations effort. If someone else can lay a legitimate claim to the title "Mr. Trinity;' then jerry is the consummate Bantam booster. The Hansen connection to Trinity also includes an impressive bloodline. His three sons and two of his daughters-in-law are all Trinity alums and a surging swarm of grandchildren should produce Bantam Hansens well into the 21st century. And then there is his wife, Georgia, who gives new meaning to the term "better half"! His storied legacy as alumni director is marked by distinctionj jerry guided Trinity's alumni relations program through coeducation and brought scores of women into its leadership ranks. He redesigned Reunion and masterminded its growth into a Trinity tradition and a truly Bantam Vacation. He championed the construction of the Smith Alumni-Faculty House, implemented innovative programs for undergraduate class identity, young alumni relations, career advising and admissions support, and maintained an expansive network of alumni clubs that spans the country. On the squash courts, in the football stands or by the lacrosse field, jerry also stands out as one of the College's most fiercely loyal partisans, especially when Williams or Wesleyan comes to town. To those of us fortunate enough to have called jerry our boss, he is a cherished colleague and insightful mentorj he is tough but fair, hard-charging yet kindhearted, professional while lovingly paternal. No detail is too small, no alumni event too insignificant. As jerry assumes his new duties as Special Assistant to the President, we rise to thank him for his enormous contributions to our alma mater. jerry has travelled thousands of miles and shaken many hands in his 20 years at the helm of the alumni relations program. Whether he was at the Cape Cod Chowder Party or Buttondown Sounds, Alumni College or Alumni Sons and Daughters Admissions Program, his integrity and commitment yielded great dividends. In jerry Hansen, our new president has found a wise, just, and loyal adviser. Godspeed, jerry, and thank you

Class of 1950

ur 45th Reunion was an outstanding success. The attendance was re.c ord-setting and a number of classmates made their first Reunion visit since graduation. They included HENRY WELLINS, FRANK EBLEN, HAVEN KNIGHT, HAL SUTTON, MONTYYOUNG and JACK CORCORAN.

Frank Eblen, who lives in Texas, came the greatest distance. To top off the Reunion, we were awarded the Board of Fellows Bowl for our spirit, participation and contribution to the Reunion. Our Class Gift was a record $51,107. At our Class meeting on Saturday, the following officers were elected: President FRANK SHERMAN, Vice President DAVE BELLIS, Secretary BOB TANSILL, Historian RORY O'CONNOR, and Class Agents JOHN GRILL, BOB BLUM and HARRY KNAPP.

Accepting the Board of Fellows Award for the Class are, from left: Bob Tansill, Dave Bellis, and Frank Sherman.

There was general agreement among those attending that we should hold some sort of get-together every year on campus and two proposals are being studied. We will keep you advised .We also agreed that we would begin now working on our 50th Reunion Class Gift. I can't over-emphasize how much everyone enjoyed the entire weekend. We talked about those of you who were not there, and agreed to urge you to make a special effort to come to the mini-reunions and to definitely plan now for the 50th. We were most pleased to have Lois Barrows, widow of BOB BARROWS, and Lilian Rekas, widow of JOE REKAS, attend our Class Dinner Saturday night. We need to hear from you about your activities for the next newsletter.

ur Reunion committee did a fantastic job in organizing a three-day happening which was blessed with excellent weather. All the events went smoothly and created an atmosphere of enjoyment and relaxation with good friends. Particular appreciation and commendation are due to committee members BILL LA PORTE, JOE MICHELSON, DICK ZAMPIELLO, BOB HODES, BILL O 'H4RA and LEE LAHEY Thanks to BOB "The Welshman"WELSH, our Class Reunion Saturday night dinner was indeed a festive occasion. Although absent, Bob thoughtfully provided both red and white wine for the group to enjoy with an excellently prepared meal. No one had too much, but the Welsh wine helped to keep everyone loose. Thanks to THE REV. KEN WILDRICK for a very moving and memorable message in his blessing prior to our Saturday night dinner celebration. Ken has turned the timetables around by now taking on an ambitious challenge of building a mission or start-up church when his p eers are winding down their life 's challenges. Bill O'Hara was recognized for his many accomplishments. He contines as President Emeritus for Bryant College and contributes significantly to several important programs and projects

at the institution. He and his wife, Bobbie, added so much to the weekend. FRED STARR was literally the "star" of our Reunion show. He was recognized during the Saturday morning annual meeting by the College for his many contributions to several community organizations and we were informed he had b een named "Humanitarian of the Year" by his home furnishing industry peers for 1991. Most of us had not appreciated th e fact that Fred was a third generation Trinity graduate and later became a parent ('82) , creating a fourth generation rung to a legacy ladder that started with his greatgreat grandfather, Jonathan, who was a Trinity founder and trustee. DAVID ROBERTS was in a good mood, having made a major career change - moving from 40 years with Bethlehem Steel to being an independent manufacturers' representative, creating his own company. Dave's wife, Shirely, was, as usual, a pleasure to see and b e with. GORDY and Betsy MAITLAND ventured from Michigan and it was great to see them again. Good buddy, LINC HANSEL, was there to entertain us with great stories and escapades of a consummate bachelor. Now retired, professor WILLIAM "Kit" MORGAN seems to be enjoying a life of travel and was his

usual happy self. BOB FREEMAN showed h e has not lost his jumpshot and touch in a Saturday afternoon shooting demonstration. We were all happy, especially spouse, Jean, to see Bobby there after a scare with throat surgery just a few months ago. He is now on a retirement track from coaching and teaching. A lot of young people have benefited from his great coaching talent and caring nature. HOWIEYOOD, in a bit of a serious mood, contributed much to the weekend. Watching the Saturday afternoon softball game, he squirmed, itching to get on the field and test his rifle arm again, but spared the first ) baseman of such trauma. We were advised that HANK SCHEINBERG could not attend because he and his bride are expecting a child. Hank has always been a record-breaker and it looks like he continues to amaze all of us. We were sorry that TERRY FORD could not make it from Panama, but he sent his best wishes to all. He also advised that he recently received the Panama Canal College Medal which was awarded to recognize his effort in higher education aimed at the betterment of the Panamanian and U .S. communities. BOB SIND has kept up a dynamic schedule; he is literally a fixer of troubled companies,

The Gary McQuaid Award FREDERICK B. STARR '55 Representing the third generation of Trinity graduates from your family, you have achieved much success both in College and the business world. As an undergraduate working toward your degree in English, you participated in many activities including basketball, soccer and varsity track. You also worked extensively at The Tripod and WRTC radio and were a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. Upon graduating from Trinity you served in the U.S. Army for two years.

Eigenbrodt Cup Award BORDEN W. PAINTER, JR., '58 From your first days here we have seen you r absolute dedication to this institution and your willingness to work untiringly on its behalf. Your gifts to this College have been enormous - as an inspired and inspiring teacher, a gifted administrator, enthusiastic alumni volunteer, and, as you so eloquently put it once, a "cheerleader" for Trinity. You quickly hit your stride as a freshman, academically and on the football and baseball fields. In your senior year you added golf to your repertoire, along with election to Phi Beta Kappa and Pi Gamma Mu, prizes in history, and a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship. In addition to your scholarly achievements, you were known on campus for your wonderful wit and sense of fun. A thoughtful and curious student of history, you also felt a strong calling to the Episcopal priesthood. And so, after graduation you earned a Ph.D. from Yale University and an advanced degree from Genera l Theological Seminary. Aspects of church history have found their way into your research, and you have added modern Italian history, especially the Fascist period, to your broad and eclectic intellectual interests. You are highly regarded as a professor who can lead students of history to a passion for learning, as your mentor George Cooper did for you. But, you have also shown your skills as an administrator, serving two terms as department chair, as secretary of the faculty and dean of the faculty, as director of our highly successful Italian programs, and for one important year in the life of the College, as our president. It was in this role that we saw anew your special gifts as a community builder and institutional leader. In a time of transition and challenge, you moved Trinity ahead in several important directions. The ideal of alumnus is sometimes elusive, but not in your case. Through your professional dedication, integrity, and loyalty, you have shown us this ideal at work. For your faithful contributions of labor and spirit, .for your achievements in scholarship and in administration, for your distinction of character, we have the honor today to bestow upon you, BORDEN W. PAINTER, JR., Class of 1958, the greatest honor the College can give to an alumnus, the Eigenbrodt Cup.

administrative duties with our undergraduate program in Rome and our Italian Elderhostel programs. In the latter capacity I visited MIKE ZOOB, Elderhostel's vice president, in Boston. Trinity now has two-week Elderhostel programs in 10 locations in Italy, with close to 4,000 enrollments each year. Now here is good news for all members of our Class: Elderhostel programs are now open to young folks like ourselves who have reached 55 years of age, replacing the 60 years formerly required. For more information call our office at the College (2972166). (Editor's note: Michael gave a lecture, "Continuing Your Education through Elderhostel Programs," at the College Reunion in June.) One of the joys of my presidential year was traveling to talk to alums all across the country. At various times I got to Boston, New York, Seattle, Chapel Hill, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco. One of my last trips was to Chicago where I saw classmates BRUCE GLADFELTER and BOB BACK. Another trip to Los Angeles found me in the company of GEORGE BOGERT and PETE ADDISON. In early April I represented the College at the inauguration of William Chace as president of Emory University. He was formerly President ofWesleyan. JIM FLANNERY greeted me at the airport and escorted me that beautiful day. Jim heads the theater department th:ere. He gave me a first-class tour ofEmory's impressive campus and then one of the Carter Center after the inauguration ceremony that included Jimmy Carter's presence on the podium. The alumni office has received news ofthree Class of'58 alums: JOE REPOLE, bicyclist extraordinaire, cycled 5,000-plus miles in 1993 and, when he wrote, was well on his way to equally impressive mileage in 1994. He cycled 30 straight months with at least one "century" ride. PETER GARRETT writes "I ran into LAIRD MORTIMER '57 at the ordination of the Rev. Jack Potter recently at our parish, Trinity Church, in Newtown, Conn. I hadn't seen Laird since 1957 and it was wonderful catching up - he had been a friend of the Rev. Potter for years. Also at the ordination was the REV JIM KOWALSKI '73, who previously had been our curate." The Rev. Dr. Borden W. Painter, Jr.

Spring, such as it is, has visited the Northeast and the signs of liveliness and growth seem to be more apparent on the Trinity campus than just about anywhere else that this reporter has seen. Our new president has hit the ground running and is committed to all of the same things that all of us are, namely taking an already enviable history and tradition and improving our competitive positioning by using it to present our credentials to the world. We are committed to making Trinity the finest small college in the country and we are optimistic about our chances of doing it. One of the truly wonderful aspects of Evan's taking over the presidency is the wonderful shape that BORDIE (PAINTER '58) left it in for him. In the 10 or so months that Bordie was our president, more important projects were agreed to b e executed and more initiatives begun than in the previous five years put together. We all, as Trinity alumni, owe Bordie a huge debt of gratitude. Make no mistake, the College could have suffered during this difficult past year. Not only did it not suffer, it moved ahead smartly in a variety of areas, including getting the capital campaign off to a flying start. Although Bordie is much, much older than we of the Class of '60, I would like to make him an unofficial member of our gang. He's just about the best that a Trinity man can be. Thanks, Bordie. Job very well done ... again. Recently, at a Trinity reception for Bordie at a Madison Avenue gallery, I ran into GERRY DESSNER, who is .having a good time these days doing philanthropic work that began for him as a minor time commitment and has become a n early full-time job. H e recently returned from a wonderful trip to Australia and seems to have it pretty much together. I heard recently from KARL KOENIG, w ho is still very busy making art/science news in Albuquerque. His book on gum oil painting is receiving great reviews from the art cognoscenti and is being featured around the country. I chatted with ROGER

EMLEY, who continues to work for Hallmark Cards in Kansas City. All is well with Roger and life seems good. He doesn't get East too often so we'll just have to stop in and see him when we're in Missouri the next time. MIKE SIENKIEWICZ continues to have his hand in a lot of different ventures and he surely can't be bored. As many of you know, Mike has had a long 25-year association with Lees Carpet in a variety of sales and management capacities. More recently, he has revisited an even longer love affair, that being with The Solebury School. He has been working with them in a variety of capacities, including serving as an art critic for them as they deck their halls with things worthwhile. Additionally, he has developed an interest and business presence in the local residential real estate market. When we spoke he was hopeful of returning to Trinity for our Reunion, but was unc ertain if it would fit. After listening to his busy life these days, it is totally understandable. SKIP MORSE sounds like a teenager out on his first date. He has recently set out on his own and is doing for himself what he had been doing for someone else, namely offering marketing, promotional and general strategic business advice to corporations. Business is great and it's well deserved for Skip. Congratul-ations. I had to smile recently when I was talking with ERNIE HADDAD and he was telling me that his youngest son is playing Bantam-level hockey. The Haddad seniors are loving it, though they are freezing to death throughout the winter at outside rinks. Oh, do I remember those days . They were great. Ernie j ust received some bigtime recognition from his long time employer, M ass General. H e had been general counsel and was recently named to the additional position of secretary of the corporation, while retaining the title and function of head legal beagle. Congrafulations, Ernie. His two Trinity sons, SCOTT '90, and MARK '91, are both well on their way, with Scott at the University of Chicago Business School and Mark at Fidelity in Boston. There is a future Bantam in the household now, just to ensure that Ernie and Kathi don't start to become too relaxed. BILL CRANE and I chatted briefly the other day. He continues to be an investment banker with Parker Benjamin. He's living in New Canaan, is planning to give his daughter away this fall when

she marries, and just to round out the picture, reports that his summer vacations are typically at the Cape. Not a bad program, it seems to me. TIM BAUM and I chatted about our reunions taking place this year and agreed that it would be great to get back and see some of the old gang. He did say that h e thought that he was going to be following his passion, however, and would be in Europe looking for art in all the right places. He listed himself as a doubtful starter for this year's festivities. Speaking of festivities, by the time we all receive this, our 35th will be history. I was talking with BOBBY JOHNSON last week and he told m e that we expect about a quarter of the Class to return. I'm writing this ahead of the Reunion and you're reading it after. .. nonetheless, let me to so bold as to congratulate Bob and DAVE GOLAS an d BILL DE COLIGNY now on a wonderful job of getting the word out and generating the interest developed to bring us together again. Thanks, guys! You're a great team. ED CIMILLUCA has just joined a new firm by the name of Oak Hall Capital. I don't fully understand this business (too bad for me and my family), but I understand this is a major "buy side" player. More to the point, Ed joins it as a principal, and is sounding very enthusiastic about his work. Ed and Carol, of course, were blessed in that both of their kids attended and graduated from Trinity and both are living nearby. COURTNEY '90 is married and living in Summit, and working at Merrill Lynch , and DANA '92 is living and working at Smith Barney in New York. The pair of apples don't seem to fall very far from the tree, do they. Carol is the only one of the group without a Trinity sheepskin (back in our days young ladies were not educated in the formal sense at Trinity), but she may be the most ac tive of the bunch in vario us efforts supporting the College. Finally, Ed and Carol just moved from Summit to New Vernon where they will enjoy a lot more land, more birds chirping and, for Ed, a much longer commute. I will close as always ...take care of yourselves and stay in tou ch . And give generously to the capital campaign. Richard W. Stockton 121 Whittredge Rd.

nee again, I performed the task of the Class of '60's recording secretary in my normal far-Jess-than-perfect fashion. I didn't show up for the fi rst half of Reunion!

We were also proud to be selected as the host class for Evan and Kit D o belle.

Alumni Medal for Excellence RICHARD W. STOCKTON '60

Evidence of your leadership is apparent in such first-rate publications as USAk Magazine, which falls under your purview.

You are that rare and gifted person - one who moves easily in the world of action as well as the world o"f ideas. Fortunately for your alma mater, your profession and the community which you call home, you are gifted with both abilities and, for as long as we can remember, you have shared them willingly to benefit others.

Yet, beyond your accomplishments, it is your dedication to those who share your special sense of family that we salute today. For you serve as a devoted husband and father of three (two of whom graduated from Trinity), and tireless civic volunteer in your community of Summit, New Jersey. Through it all, you have always made time for Trinity: as class agent, class secretary, parent di rector, adviser to The Trinity Reporter, member of the National Alumni Association executive committee, vice chair of the Board of Fellows' college communications subcomm ittee, and now alumni trustee. Trinity benefits greatly from your creativity, tenacity and good humor.

Du ring your undergraduate years, you r influence extended across campus as a student of economics, cheerleader, Jester, basketball team manager, radio announcer, junior class marsha l and president of Theta Xi. Upon graduation, you began immediately to make your mark in consumer ma rketing and planning as sales manager for the James and Laughlin Steel Corporation. You have risen steadily in this highly competitive profession, working for Benton & Bowles, Avon Products, and, currently, The New York Times, where you are general manager and president of The Times' Custom Publishing venture.

On the occasion of your thirty-fifth reunion, it is an honor to present you, RICHARD WARREN STOCKTON, Class of 1960, with the Alumni Medal for Excellence.

From places to the south, we were joined by ROGER DICKEY (I missed him), BOBBY SPAHR, BILL DE COLIGNY, MICKEY LLOYD and ole number 35, BOBBY J O H NSON. And then there were the group of us locals (within 100 miles or so) that includes NEIL COOGAN, DAVE GOLAS, RAY BEECH, KENNY LYONS (I missed him) , CHARLIE MACKALL, CHUCK MIDDLETON, SKIP MORSE, BOB PEDEMO NTI, R ICK R ICHARDSON, GEORGE RAYNOR, DAVE RUSSELL, CURT SCRIBNER, BRU CE STONE, FRED WAGNER, PETE T H OMAS (I missed him, too) , LOUIS GERUNDO, DAVE CHASE, BOBBY LANGEN,J IM T ILZER and GEORGE MACKEY. Most of us were accompanied by wives, a couple of us brought kids, and all of us brought the kind of fraterna l love for every other Class m ember that needs to be experienced to be understood. I have only two regrets: first, that I could only be there on Saturday and Sunday and, a second larger regret is that all of you couldn't be with us to share the weekend. Our turnou t was terrific with so me 37 Class members accounting for about 75 to tal fo lks with a Class of '60 connection .We owe our leaders, Bill De Coligny, D ave Golas and Bobby Johnson a big thanks for a j ob well done. In the business area, such as it was, we nominated and elected George Kroh as Class Agent .. .yo u'll be hearing from him soon and often. Be nice and be generous. We also decided to u tilize Matt Levine's marketing and promo tional skills, guided by Buddy Bergmann's planning skills, and have elected them to organize and run our 40th. Be there! Stay in touch, gang.You're important to all of us. Let's hear from yo u and stay happy and healthy. -Richard Stockton

Outstanding Class Secretary Award PETER KNAPP '65

This award is presented annually by the office of alumni and college relations to the Class Secretary who best fulfills the assignment. In the best journalistic tradition, this person shows persistence in digging for news of classmates for the Class Notes and always meets the deadline. This year's recipient has been one of The Reporter's most faith ful and dependable correspondents for the past 10 years. In addition to his career as Trinity's College Archivist and -his voluntarism for community and civic groups, he takes the time to turn in a lively and informative report on the great Class of 1965. For his contributions to the spirit of the Class of '65, we recognize today Peter Knapp as the Outstanding Class Secretary of 1995.

The Class of '60 took golfing honors in the Reunion golf tourney: Low gross - Rick Richardson (85) and Low net- Bill de Coligny (68).

hirty-seven classmates gathered in June for our 30th Reunion and it was great to see them again. Among the first-time returnees were ERNIE and Judith HENDRY.JOHN ELLWOOD and BREWSTER PERKINS are to be congratulated for all of the effort they put into m aking our Reunion so pleasant. I'm delighted to note that John's son, John, Jr. , graduated "Neath the Elms" in May. Our grateful thanks also to our Class Agent, PETER STURROCK, for encouraging us to contribute $88,041 as our Reunion Gift, with 49 percent of the Class participating. New Class officers are DAVE GRAYBILL and JIM BISHOP, w ho will head up our 35th Reunion in the year 2000 (that has a sci-fi ring to it') .YOUR SECRETARY has gladly agreed to continue compiling Class Notes. The Class Agent positions remain open as of this writing in midJuly. Peter Sturrock has honored us all by accepting the presidency of the National Alumni Association and we wish him the very best in this extremely important post. Congratulations also to HARVEY SILVERMAN w ho now serves on Trinity's Board ofTrustees. At the annual meeting of the alumni association on Reunion Saturday, Your Secretary, to his complete surprise, received the award as Outstanding Class Secretary. The award itself was a handsome letter opener suitably inscribed. I am deeply grateful, and to have been recognized in

such a way for doing something I really enjoy makes the award all the more meaningful. Thanks to all of you for giving me interesting things to report and please keep sending me yo ur news. In this regard, ERIC LODGE offered an excellent suggestion that I give my e-mail address so that you can send me notes over the Internet. My address is Peter.Knapp@mail.trincoll.edu. My thanks to Eric for the suggestion and for some email addresses he thoughtfully collected at Reunion. Your Secretary was kept busy at Reunion by two appearances on the program of events. On T hursday I gave the opening lecture entitled "Clipper Ships and Open Boats: The Ferguson, Twain & Trinity Connection" which recounted the ordeal of the Ferguson brothers, both Trinity alumni, who survived the loss of the clipper ship, "Hornet" in 1866 and w hose story helped launch Mark Twain's literary career. On Saturday I moderated a panel discussion on 25 years of undergraduate coeducation at Trinity. Our Reunion dinner was a pleasant conclusion to the weekend's events. I learned in an interesting conversation with BEN BARBER that he is now State Department correspondent with the Washington Times. A week and a half following Reunion, the Knapp family moved into our new home which we are enjoyin g greatly. That's all for now and please remember to keep me posted on news of note. -Peter Knapp

Seems as if the rise in stamp prices has stemmed the flow of' 61 info. So, keeping in mind PETER KILBORN's masterful New York Times piece on financial woes, all postage-due letters will be accepted. A role model for all with 32 cents to spare is GORDON POMEROY, who writes that he's a quality control manager at Miles Inc., Rock Hill, S.C., teaching chemistry at York Technical College, and expecting his fourth grandchild. DOUG TANS ILL is Paine Webber's new managing director in the investment banking division, and box scores hereabouts track son Luke's scoring exploits on Trinity's lacrosse team. PETER KREISEL dropped in for dinner during the second annual Trinity ski weekend at Killington, Vt.; JERRY HANSEN '51 stopped by to make sure Your Humble Scribe had paid for the meal, which will be easier to afford next year now that Antioch and , Dartmouth are through with my two youngest sons. According to reliable sources, Peter's game attempt at putting together a third '61 Big Chill weekend last fall will be followed by a spouses-too event in another venue. Stay tuned.

Many of you have heard or read that BILL RICHARDSON is leaving the presidency of Johns Hopkins University. Battle Creek, Mich., home of Rice Krispies, has lured him to run the Kellogg Foundation. The Kellogg Foundation is the nation's second-largest foundation. It gives money to health care, education, community development and international programs. For those interested classmates, it may be a good idea to become very fri endly with Bill. JIM WHITTERS reports that he has left Peabody and Brown to become director of career services at Suffolk University Law School. Jim is also leaving the Trinity board after 11 years. I know of no one more loyal to the College than Jim.

DON CARROLL is becoming a grandfather. His son, Sandy, and daughter-in-law, Diane, are expecting in August. LEDGE MITCHELL reports he is soon to be married to Jacalyn Butterworth. He and Jackie had an early honeymoon last year, spending two weeks with ROB BOWLER and his wife, Jana, at their winter home in South Island of New Zealand. The trout fishing was as spectacular as the country itself. When Rob isn't stalking browns on the Oreti River "down under," he is casting to steelheads on the North Umipqua in Oregon.

LARRY BORY writes that last March he joined the design consulting firm of Greenhorne & O'Mara, Inc. located in Greenbelt Md. As vice president of corporat~ marketing, he will participate in developing a new corporate strategic plan for the 700-person firm and will be principally responsible for overseeing the marketing division's research, communications, administrative and proposal support capabilities. Larry indicates that he prefers the rifle to the shotgun approach to marketing and that this philosophy will guide him as he helps G&O reorient itself to changing markets. His previous experience in both public and private sectors has ranged from legislative lobbying and consulting

work for government agencies to economic development and regional policy planning, including involvement with the conversion of the Brooklyn Navy Yard into a commercial industrial park. Larry was previously director of business and program planning for the American Consulting Engineers Council. Best wishes to you, Larry, in your new position. Last summer, President Painter appointed YOUR SECRETARY to oversee completion of volume two of the Trinity College History. I am pleased to report that Professor Glenn Weaver is at work on the manuscript which is scheduled for completion by the end of 1996. The story ofTrinity's post-World War II development will address a number of major transformations at the College, including coeducation. This is an exciting project and I am delighted to have the opportunity to be involved with it. Also, at Reunion I will be moderating a panel discussion on 25 years of undergraduate coeducation at Trinity, as well as presenting a lecture on the Ferguson Brothers ofTrinity, who survived the loss of the clipper ship, Hornet, in 1866. News received in the alumni office: PARK BENJAMIN works for an entrepreneurial investment baking firm in N.Y. C.

Alas, it was路 the last party at the historic Alpha Chi Rho fraternity house. It was the last party because the house - 114 Vernon St. - is condemned and will undoubtedly be torn down. (Because most people do not have up-to-date yellow fever shots, the party was under tent on the lawns.) Over the last 50 years, the brothers of AXP and their parents and their friends (and the men and women of other fraternities and sororities) invested millions of dollars to sustain the social structure ofTrinity College. Too bad they didn't get an I.O.U. The last party was great. Like all fraternity parties it was well-attended, dignified, and reserved. The party was hosted by graduating Cro seniors, and graced by parents, grandparents, big and little sisters and, brothers, classmates, and friends., Since planning is not yet a finely honed skill of college students, a veteran Alpha Chi Rho party-goer, Marlene Fox (mother of DAMIAN '95) was asked to consult. Relying on her experience attending many AXP parties during Trinity's halcyon days (1964-1967, when ogres roamed the land), Marlene arranged all the ingredients crucial to the success of a sophisticated college party: shelter, vittles and brew for 200 people. It is rumored that due to the success of the party, the faculty is going to give Marlene an honorary degree in political sociology. Dropping by were GEORGE (AXP '67) and Sue DAVIS. They were on campus to see one of their twin sons, JEFFREY, graduate. Their other son graduated from Holy Cross. George built a new house in Madison, Conn., from which he commutes to Waterbury to run logistics and material for the Cuno Corp. George reports that the Dolly

Madison restaurant serves cold beer. DAVE CHARLESWORTH (AXP '66) and his lovely wife, Jane, on campus to see their daughter, JILL '95, graduate, could not pass up the chance to attend another fraternity party. Dave is a heart surgeon in Manchester, N.H. He attributes his eyehand dexterity to many hours of thumper in the Cro party basement. Also on hand to make a final toast to 114 Vernon St. was JOHN ELLWOOD (AXP '65).John and family were at Trinity to see son, JOHN '95, graduate. John was reluctantly dragged away to catch a plane back to Illinois, where he has a successful law practice and happy family life. It is ironic that this column would use The New York Times as a source. Their motto, "All the news that's fit to print," is elitist compared to our guiding principle, "Only news that's (rhymes with 'fit') to print." At any rate, CHARLIE HECKSCHER was featured in a major story in the Times business section ... even had his picture and everything. Charlie is a sociologist at Rutgers University and is an expert on the cultural dynamics of downsizing in American companies. Based on extensive research at several companies, Charlie believes that the historical value ofloyalty, which defined employee/ employer relationships, is defunct. Charlie's findings are detailed in his new book, White Collar Blues: Management Loyalties in an Age of Corporate Restructuring (Basic Books, $23). If you own a resort, particularly a ski resort, and you want to increase business, call Harwood, Moses, Chamber, Inc. at 802-2537141 and ask for BRAD MOSES. As you have probably surmised, Brad is a partner and owner of the firm, which is an exceptional advertising agency located in Stowe, Vt. Brad's agency has earned a reputation for resort marketing, but serves a wide range of clients. According to Brad, you get New York City-creative atVermont prices. That's a bit syrupy for some of us, but we are believers. Like Brad, who prays for snowmaking cold weather, so, too, does CHARLIE KURZ. Charlie hates nice, mild, comfortable winters. He wants the nation gripped in the frigid paws of the frostmeister. Cold weather means warm furnaces. And warm furnaces mean heating oil. And heating oil means Charlie's tankers are needed to ship the oil to keep you warm. And keeping you warm means Charlie can 路pay for Katie Kurz's

tuition bills at Trinity, which start in the fall of '95, when she enters as a freshman . If you would like a gallon or two million gallons of oil, call Charlie at his new office number, 610-617-6836. He moved the headquarters of Keystone shipping to Bala Cynwyd, Pa. (Bala what?) It can be unsettling to get a letter from the "United States Bankruptcy Court." Maybe the Trinity College Library is going to bring you down for an unpaid fine on a late returned book on Walt Whitman or something. Relief, relief: it was only the Honorable RAY GRAVES, Michigan's top repo judge. Ray had dinner with JIM and Sue OLIVER in SanDiego, where Ray regaled and delighted the Olivers with a comprehensive and lengthy explanation of his workshop: Federal Bankruptcy Judges: Financial Statements in the Courtroom. Jim said the subject compares favorably to a full bottle of valium. Let us hope that Jim was able to pry some dinero out of Ray for the alumni fund. As luck would have it, when Ray returned to Detroit Metro Airport, his car was stolen .. .or so he says. Maybe it was repossessed. For future columns, forewarned is forearmed: your faithless and ÂŁlawful SECRETARY has found his 1967 College yearbook (missing for 25 years, or so) . Now putting name to picture, a systematic discovery and interrogation of the Class of '67 will still be told. In the meantime, fax whatever The New York Times finds unfit to print to 203-677-5349.

BOB GLASSMAN has written from Indianapolis, Ind., where he continues in the practice of invasive cardiology. His son, Dave, is a junior at Northwestern and his son, Steve, is a sophomore at Harvard. Bob credits his sons, Andrew and Jon, with a "greater sense of fiscal responsibility" by being in the first and eighth grades, respectively. PAUL HOLINGER has coau-

thored a book, Suicide and Homicide Among Adolescents, which was described in a January 1995 review in the Journal of the American Medical Association as "an important contribution to our understanding of a troubling social ill of our time - violence by and upon adolescents." RON KLEINMAN, a professor of pediatric medicine at Harvard Medical School, has written a book, Let Them Eat Cake, about childhood nutrition. Now I have a few comments about the 1994 Trinity College Alumni Directory, which also apply to the 1988 edition. Trinity's long tradition as a men's school has apparently rubbed off on many of our women graduates. They are putting "Esq." (esquire, a title for a gentleman) after their names. In times past, Esq. was a title that could be used by any man who matriculated at a college. I started using it a couple years after arriving at Trinity. Perhaps every Trinity student should be given the title. This way, women who want to use Esq. will not have to go through the trouble of passing a bar examination. William T. Barrante, Esq. P.O.

Nancy and her husband, Stephen, and daughter, Katie, reside in East Walnut Hills. Your Secretary attended the kickoff event for The Trinity College Campaign on April 22. The kickoff and all-day liberal arts festival were terrific and well attended by alums and students alike. Other '71ers I encountered were our trustee, TOM DIBENEDETTO, and JEFF STURGESS, both of whom are doing well and enjoyed the festivities. As chair of the Trinity Alumni Fund, I urge you to give generously to the Alumni Fund in each of the next three years of the Trinity College Campaign. The Alumni Fund is responsible for producing nearly one-fifth of the funds to be raised for the College in the Campaign. Trinity continues to make great strides on many fronts and our collective financial support is one of the best ways we can ensure the College's future stature. Next year is our 25th Reunion year and there is a nucleus of us in '71 who want to produce record attendance and a record Class Gift to Trinity.

s you can see from the included list of the attendees for our Reunion this past June, we had a great group! Attendance started out small on Thursday, the first day of the Reunion weekend, but it grew gradually until Saturday afternoon to its full force. Because of the lack of interest, we did have to cancel the cruise planned for Thursday night. Our luncheon "al fresco" at the Library Quadrangle on Friday, however, was delightful, especially assisted by the picture-perfect spring weather. It was wonderful to catch up with classmates in such a bucolic environment. On Friday and Saturday we enjoyed Trinity's brand new swimming pool, plus the squash and tennis courts and the fitness center. The swimming pool was really a delight w ith the onset of summer, and is a million times better than the oversized bathtub (by comparison) into w hich we were plunged for our swimming requirement back in 1966. R emember that? It was part of the liberal arts ideal. What we went through

to become well-rounded! Many of our classmates brought their children. The pony rides, sports camp, and campus facilities in general provided a great time for kids of all ages. The clambake on Friday night was delicious - especially the lobster! A relaxed setting under our own tent on the Quad provided us with the perfect opportunity to reacquaint ourselves with one another. On Saturday morning the first order ofbusiness was a C lass meeting in the courtyard of th e math building. ERNIE MATTEI, ANDY STEWART and I discussed the College's alumni fund, capital cam.paign and the future of Trinity. When it appeared that our Class Gift w as just under $90,000, may stepped forward to provide sufficient fund s to raise us over $90,000 . Certainly the largest amount our Class has ever contributed, and it was the largest amount contributed by a reuning class this year. We then marched in the parade as a Class and presented our gift to our new president,

Evan Do belle. We were also gratified that our percentile contribution was 59 percent - a high percent for us. After the formaliti es, we had lunch on the Quadrangle. It was such a gorgeous afternoon that conversations continued on the grass until almost dinnertime. We just did not want to stop. From my perspective, those of us who traveled the farthest had some of the most interesting tales to tell. ALEX BELIDA's adventures in East Africa were fascinating, and TOM SAGER was like a travel log with respect to his newfound-land, New Zealand. Yet it was just as enriching to learn of STEVE BAUER's newly found Nook Farm in Vermont, GEORGE WHEELWRIGHTs' navigation of Camden Harbor, and BILL LAWRENCE's new digs at Martha's Vineyard. From wherever, it was truly rewarding to interact w ith old friends w hom we had not seen for so long. Saturday night's dinner in th e Washington Room was extremely warm and pleasant. After dinner,

ED WELLS was incomparable on the piano. It is so wonderful that we have a classmate such as Ed who can provide 's uch excellent entertainment to raise the spirit of our gatherings. CHARLIE TAYLOR and DICK WYLAND's bellowings were, shall we say, memorable as we sang into the late hours of the evening. I was so moved by Steve Bauer's thoughtful and literate history of our Class, that I had the College mail it to all of us in July. It well captured the history of our rather unique generation. When we recall w hat we experienced in those four short years at Trinity, the changes which we brought upon Trinity, our communities, and ourselves, it is a remarkable achievement. Neither Trinity nor the nation will ever be the same, nor will we. Our bonds were reinforced by our 路Reunion experience. Let us resolve to keep up the conversation and "reunioning" in the months and years ahead. Those from the Class who signed the " book" at R eunion: Ernie Mattei, John Pye, Bob

Alumni Medal for Excellence ALFONSO L. CARNEY, ]R. 70 You are one about whom it can be said with certainty that you are making a difference. Your thoughtfulness in consideration of the world around you was apparent in your undergraduate activities, as a member of the Trinity Coalition of Blacks and Delta Phi fraternity, and in your choice to major in philosophy. Since graduation, it has been evident in your commitment to community service and to involving African-American alumni in this College. You have said that your life has been different because of Trinity and that you feel now it is your turn to give back. You have done so unequivocally and impressively, as an active volunteer for the alumni and development offices. As the first president of the Trinity National Alumni Association's Black Alumni Organization, you have worked hard to launch the group and attract members. Under your leadership, this organization succeeded in involving 26 alumni in an alumni mentor program with Trinity students and in creating an alumni admissions support program aimed at increasing the number of AfricanAmerican students who choose Trinity. Your vision and leadership gifts helped to establish the Black American Alumni Scholarship Fund, which already has benefitted a deserving student. Your efforts for Trinity compete hard with a demanding professional career and rewarding family life. An alumnus of the University of Virginia Law School, you practiced corporate law for General Foods Corporation and Kraft General Foods, Inc. before joining Philip Morris Companies, where you are vice president and associate general counsel. In your community, you serve on the board of directors of the New York Urban League, on the advisory board of the Columbia University Not for Profit Education Institute, and on the Consortium for Graduate Study in Management. For your generous gifts of time and spirit to these organizations and to Trinity, for your achievements in law and your willingness to extend yourself in carving out new frontiers, we have the honor today to present you, ALFONSO L. CARNEY, JR., Class of 1970, with the Alumni Medal for Excellence.

Since you earned your degree in American Studies at Trinity, young people have been the focus of your personal and professional labors. You began your career as a history teacher and then earned a master's degree from Yale University's School of Management. In 1982, you joined Children's Television Workshop, best known for Sesame Street. At CTW, you started as a dynamic director of finance in the interactive technologies division . Now, as executive vice president and chief operating officer; you are responsible for all of CTW's dayto-day operations.

t's a real pleasure to change hats and write to you as a Class Secretary rather than in my most recent role of asking you all to give money to Trinity. But, b egging turned out to be less onerous than I'd expected and I am pleased to report that, as of June 30, 1995, 148 of us made a Class contribution totaling $60,938 . Betts and I attended Reunion and, from our perspective, the College put on a classy weekend, pretty low key, if you wanted, but also plenty of events for both alumni and their children. Our kids adopted the campus as their own after only a couple hours and cruised all over - swimming, basketball, movies, burgers - all supervised by an impressive crew of undergraduates organized by Trinity to let the alumni off the "watching the kids" patrol. It worked! M y take on Evan Dobelle was very positive: he expressed a sincere commitment to the College and seems to really understand the vital linkage between the various south Hartford neighborhoods and the College in th eir midst. Good luck, Evan! It was great to see many people who made it back for our 20th. Several transcontinental awards are

due: ROBIN LANDY AMADON from Seattle, JEFF CLARK from California. I'm sure I am missing someone from the Coast; apologies, if so. Everyone looked great. Well, okay, there was some grey hair, but all seemed compos mentis! I know that after sitting at dinner with CHRIS MAX, BILL CURREN, MARK CLEARY and their spouses, and all going on at excessive length about collegiate experiences , I wondered how we all survived the four years. Bill we ende'd up having dinner with OLIVIA DAVIS BROWN '78 and friends from Louisville, recently. She said to say h ello and wished you well. T h e 20 years flew by, and one of the many moments where I really saw that was dow n in th e gym. My eight-year-old, Brendan, and I were shooting baskets for a w hile with two yo ung men. T h e older, w ho looked about 17 and was over six-foot-one, and his brother, were called to go by their mother, ELLEN HUMPHREVILLE MCGUIRE. I can 't believe that tall fellow was your son!

As a student, you excelled in the classroom, earned varsity letters in field hockey and tennis, and studied in England. A member of Phi Beta Kappa and Pi Gamma Mu, you earned departmental honors and honors in general scholarship. Today, you are a key leader among Trinity's volunteers. As a Trustee, you chair the Student Life and Enrollment Committee, and you served effectively on the committee that studied fraternities and sororities. You also chair the College Communications Subcommittee of the Board of Fellows and have been a career adviser. Trinity and CTW are not the only recipients of your wisdom and guidance. You serve on the national advisory board of KAPOW, a program that introduces children to the world of work. And no one counts on you more than your husband and three young children.

HERMAN ASARNOW '72, is an associate professor ofEnglish at the University of Portland, as well. ROB STARKEY notes that he is back at Purnell School where he is head of the studio arts department. He teaches art history, drawing, painting, etching, pastels, etc. He also does his own impressionist landscape painting and pastels as Purnell's artist-in-residence. In the fall of 1994, Rob was part of a select group of artists in a show called "Hidden Treasures: The NJ Landscape." H e is also represented in the Concept One Gallery in Pittsburgh. Finally, Rob went with a group of students to Spain for four weeks in early 1995 for language and cultural study (three blocks from the Prado). Rob and his wife, GAIL '75, had a great fam ily visit with DAVID STABLER and family in Keene, N .H. Gail reports that David had spent a week bicycling across tlie State of Iowa with his 13-year-old son, Hank. What an achievement! CLARE HUDSON PAYNE writes that she argued in front of the Maine Superior Court against applying the so-called snack tax to Girl Scout cookies. While the judge ruled in their favor on Jan. 23, 1995, as of Clare's letter of Jan. 31, they were still awaiting word as to whether the State appealed. C lare handled the case on a probono basis .Yes, she currently is a Girl Scout as is her 13-year-old daughter, Julia. FRANK BORGES is bringing order and accountability to the NAACP. He joins Chair Myrlie Evers-Williams. The Hartford Courant notes in its Feb. 22, 1995 editorial, "If there is one person who could restore the financial viability of the National Association of Colored People it is Francisco L. Borges." Prior to going to Wall Street as an investment banker, Frank had served for more than seven years as the state treasurer of Connecticut. Frank will serve as the NAACP's board treasurer. The New York Times quoted Frank as saying, "I've had a little experience in the management of finances." Congratulations to all of the Class of '94 high achievers in this report - Elizabeth, Susan, Rob, David, Clare and Frank! James A. Finkelstein 17 Bracken Ct.

It's Reunion year, our 20th! Can you believe it? Here 's hoping that we had the opportunity to see many of you from the Class of '75 in June! Those attending were able to see who still has hair on top or to see if we're all afflicted with double chins and cheese-cake thighs. Oh, w hat fun it was ! THIS WRITER has undergone many changes this past year - new job, new house, new expanding body! I left Ross Systems after three years and followed my boss into a startup operation for a Swedish firm. We are running the North American operations for Industri-Matematik, Inc. (IM I), providing high-end order management and distribution software for Fortune 500 consumer product companies such as Campbell Soup and Bristol Myers Squibb. I am vice president of marketing and sales support and having the best time of my career. I'm traveling like crazy to places such as Stockholm (I know what you're thinking and it's true, w hatever you 're thinking), San Francisco, Boston, Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, Toronto, etc ... With a little bit of luck, this endeavor will pay off, if we can grow the business and go public - we'll see. In addition, Susan, Alexander and I have m.oved to Demarest, N.J. as of July 1994. We have more space and a much bigger mortgage, but I guess that goes with success, right? Our new phone number is (201 ) 767-1884 and my work number is (914) 631-2700. I received a wonderful letter from BEN and SYLVIA BREWSTER, who have big news to report. They have traded in their rural, down east address of Portland, M aine for Austin, Texas. They moved this July, and are both employed at St. Stephen's Episcopal School. The school is a 500student prep school, which was founded in 1950 by Ben's father. Ben will be replacing the retiring business manager (hired by Ben's dad in 1951), after 15 years as the manager of a financial services firm in Portland. Sylvia will be inhouse counsel, as well as assistant director of the $16M capital campaign for the school, giving up her high-powered insurance defense attorney position . Rumor had it that Sylvia was offered a position on the O.J. "dream team" to balance the Hollywood and L.A.laden team with a ~eal "down easterner" lawyer (ay yuh!). B en

NOTES

reports that the school is strategically placed on the banks of the Colorado River ... and guess what they don't have? As a "pet project," Ben hopes to restore the rowing program which ended in the early '50s, when a major flood washed away the boathouse. Stephanie is completing her sophomore year at Trinity, where she is a mathematics major. Ben and Sylvia believe that Stephanie could possibly be the first double legacy. Alexander is a junior at Holderness School, while Elliot, their yo ungest, is in kindergarten. In a somewhat delayed announcement, I am finally reporting on a letter I received from CONNIE (PROUT) and TED BERGHAUSEN. Connie and Ted had their second child, Nina, born on July 3, 1994. Their first daughter, Chloe, is rapidly approaching three (they grow up even faster when the writer delays the announcement!). They spent part of last summer at their vacation home in Chatham on Cape Cod, where they visited with PEG and VON GRYSKA and went sailing on Peg and Von's sailboat. Ah yes, the good life. Rumor has it that after the Reunion, the B erghausens and the Gryskas are having everyone come to their place and sailboat on the Cape - thanks, guys - it should be the best R eunion ever! (Ay yuh!) I received a series of sticky tab notes from GAIL MARDFIN STARKEY that read like a fanfold notebook - must have been a very spontaneous update from Gail. Husband ROB '74 is back with his family at Purnell School in Pottersville, N.Y. , where he is head of the studio arts department. Rob teaches art history, and also does his own impressionist landscape painting as Purnell's artistin-residence. He just got back from four weeks in Spain this past February with a group of students for language and cultural studies . While in Madrid, he stayed only three blocks from the Prado (major art museum). Gail and Rob spent part oflast summer with DAVID STABLER '74, a Psi Upsilon brother of the writer, and his family in Keene, N.H. David had spent a week bicycling with his 13-year-old son, H ank, across the state of Iowa. Gail also works at the Purnell School, teaching less art, but as full-time director of publications and public relations. She spends time writing, doing photography and designing the publications for the school on her computer. Gail and Rob's two children, O'Neil (age 12) and Avery (age 10) are in the seventh

and fourth grade, respectively. Faxed in over the wire is a note about MICHAEL STAVOLA, who has been elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society. This is an honor in recognition of sustained outstanding research in a particular field. His citation reads "For innovative use of spectroscopy in the study of point defects in semiconductors." Less than 200 physicists received the Fellow from the A.P.S. this year. Michael is currently professor of physics at Lehigh University. PreviousLy, he was a member of the research staff at Bell Labs in Murray Hill, N.J. The New York Daily News (2/1/ 95) reported the recent birth of noted Knick fan and movie producer/ director Spike Lee's son, Satchel Lewis Lee at Montefiore Hospital in N.Y. C. Satchel was delivered by our own DR. CASSANDRA HENDERSON, w ho is pictured in the newspaper clipping with the young boy and his mom, Tonya Lewis Lee. Another news release from N.Y. C. announces the exhibition of"Picture Element," an exhibiting group whose membership includes CLAY DEBEVOISE. This gro up meets monthly to exchange feedback and examine ramifications of computer use in their lives and art. The word "picture element" is the derivation of the term "pixel," the equivalent of an atom in the digital realm. Using the re-elongation of"pixel" to name themselves, Clay's group claims a conscious orientation to their tools, and an awareness of their group, itself, as a basic building block. The group points to the potential use of digital technology for collaboration among groups. Whew! Sounds like they're ready for an episode ofVRS! The exhibition took place at The Lobby Gallery in N.Y.C. during January. Another "memo" was received from CHARLES LEVINE, who informs us of a new job as president of a division of Octel Corporation, w ith offices in Dallas and Silicon Valley, Calif. Octel is the noted provider of voice mail systems that all of us in business couldn't live without. Who knows, C harles, with my schedule, we'll probably run into each other during a layover in some airport sometime soon. If not, leave me a voice mail message at my office sorry, we don't use Octel, but for the right deal... Now fellow classmate alumni, I come before you, humble and ashamed, for I have committed the highest sacrilege a Trinity R eporter secretary can commit. I have failed to pass along a letter that was sent

CLASS

directly to me! Forgive me classmates, for I have sinned - I now must make amends and apologize to WILLIAM OGONOWSKI, w ho wrote to me three years ago (holy oversight, Batman!). Seems I misplaced my Trinity Reporter file after receiving William's letter. Then, recently, I was unpacking the last of the boxes from my move when what to my astonishment should I find, but ... the long-lost letter from William. So h ere it is folks -April 30, 1992 - Bill reported that h e was elected to his sixth consecutive term as executive vice president of his trade union local. "When not toiling on behalf of the proletariat," he rides the Harley he has owned for the past 14 years. Now I am sure you're all asking if Bill were re-elected to a seventh, eighth and ninth consecutive term as EVP, and if he is still doing his rendition of"Easy Rider" w ith Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda on his Harley. T h ese are questions that demand a feature column in the next Reporter, so, Bill, do you have enough faith in my filing system to try for another letter? You might do better to send it direct to JERRY HANSEN '51 atTrinity, just in case I move again or get stu ck in Stockholm w ith food poisoning from some bad Swedish meatballs - hey, you never know. So Bill, let's hear it, or maybe you can come to Reunion weekend and tell all . Henry E. Bruce, Jr. 321 Windsor Rd. Englewood, N.J. 07631-1423 (Editor's note: new secretary for the Class of 1975 is Chris Mooney, 626 Esplanade Pelham Manor, N.Y. 108032403.)

There's news from all over the country and all over the world this time around! G IN! DURNFORD wrote from Boston that she and husband, Carl McPhee, were blessed with the birth of their first child, John Durnford McPhee on Oct. 19, 1994. RON BLITZ was named as John's godfather and is delighted with his new role. In addition to enj oying John, Gini is a psychotherapist in private practice in Boston and on the adjunct faculty at Lesley College. Related to the Boston area, PHIL BlELUCH wrote that he has been promoted to business development vice president - U.S.

operations at Manulife. He is responsible for strategic planning, long-term product development, customer and competitive research. The company is moving U.S. management to Boston next sun1mer, so Phil will be relocating as well. Moving south, closer to campus, RICH HOTES sent news that he has been in private practice with New Britain Anesthesia, P.C. for 12 years . Having known Rich since high school, I was amazed to read that his dau ghter, Gennifer, is already 17 years old, a junior at Hall High School in West Hartford (our alma mater) and ready to apply to colleges. Son, Todd, is 12 years old and, according to Dad, is a "super ath lete and drumn1er." Saving the best for last, Rich reports that wife, ANDREA (SILVER), is "as pretty as ever." Also in Greater Hartford, The West Ha rtford News had an article about ROCHELLE HOMELSON-MEISTER appearing in a Valentine's Day musical program featuring three generations of the Homelson family. Rochelle was accompanied by her mother, May, a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music, and Rochelle's seven-yearold son, Benjamin HomelsonMeister, performed as pianist and vocalist. Rochelle is married to PHIL MEISTER and is employed as an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Connecticut. PEGGY SMITH sent a very interesting note from Nashville as follows: "This past weekend, after a very strenuous week in Washington, Dr. Henry Foster returned home to Nashville and to church on Sunday. When he and his wife, Sandy, came down the aisle, the congregation gave them a standing ovation. Behind the pulpit, he spoke about his nomination as U.S. Surgeon General and urged the American public to judge him on the many positive things he has done as a physician. On many occasions at Meharry, I've watched Dr. Foster leave with his black leather book bag over his shoulder. The office of U.S. Surgeon General could not ask for a better physician or a better man than Hank Foster. I hope that at the time of this printing in the Reporter, Dr. Foster will have been confirmed as our next U.S. Surgeon General." And now, for the long-distance award in this column, comes a note from LISA HEILBRONN reporting that sh e has joined the foreign service in Kampala, Uganda. Lisa left her teaching position at St. Lawrence University and is now with the U.S. Informa-

I think Lisa will have some amazing stories for next year's 20th Reunton. Speaking of small worlds, I ran into SCOTT REID at an Arthur Andersen LLP client meeting in St. Petersburg, Fla. in February. It's only natural - Scott lives in Pittsburgh, I live in Los Angeles, and we met in St. Petersburg w here the average age in the hotel outside of our conference was about equal to our combined ages . Although we had not seen each other since graduation, we agreed that neither one of us had aged a day. Thanks to all for their corresponde~ce.

m CYNTHIA FLANAGAN GOSS writes that in November 1994 she married longtime beau, yacht engineer and service maven, Stuart "Ty" Tysen Goss, whom she describes as a "past hippie."They celebrated the formality of union with a three-week New Zealand honeymoon and acquisition of a brown spaniel mix named Teak, like the wood. (Future joint human projects will be named Turnbuckle and Transom. Just a little yachtsperson humor, Cin.) In time for America's Cup news, Cindy co-authored a book with Dawn Riley, one of the principals in the Cup competition's mostly women's boat. Riley sailed around the world in the famous Whitbread (named for the brewery, no doubt) race. The book, Taking The Helm, America's Top Woman Sailor Tells H er Story, is about the race and was scheduled for publication by Little Brown & Co. in April. It warranted a splashy color spread in Little Brown's spring catalog. I saw the catalog at a friend's bookstore. Ingram Books' April "Advance" describes the book thusly: "America's preeminent woman sailor brings to life the astounding story of her against-all-odds finish in the most demanding sailing competition ever. .." It would follow then that Cindy is now "America's preeminent woman sailing writer," I guess. Indeed, Cindy is quite the freelance yachting writer, according to my cousin-to-be, an editor at Sail Magazine. She also does free-lance editing and media relations and now has an agent with whom she is pursuing new book ideas. She and Ty live in Guilford, Conn. Cindy also writes that DIANE MOLLESON is writing children's books in Washington (State, not D.C.) with her physicist husband. Diane was expecting a baby in Spring 1994. And Cindy says that BARRIE ANDRIAN, married to archaeologist Nick Dixon, is rebuilding a sunken city in the Scottish w ilderness and helping with fund-raising for the project.

NOTES

Alumni Medal for Excellence JEFFREY H. SEIBERT 79 What a lucky day it was for Trinity when you decided to come our way from Somerville, New Jersey. Even as an undergraduate, majoring in mathematics and political science, you showed initiative and diligence. In addition to playing squash and tennis, you were a Tripod photographer, member of SGA and Concert Choir, and worked in the cafeteria and libra ry. After receiving your law degree from Georgetown University, you joined the firm of Miles and Stockbridge, where you advanced quickly, becoming a partner in 1988. No doubt your impressive organizational skills and insistence on first-rate work have contributed to your success in the legal realm, as they have in all you have done for Trinity. You are the volunteer leader who has put our efforts by the development and alumni offices over the top, in so many cases. You have given unstintingly of your time, never missing a meeting or event, taking every opportunity to educate yourself further in Trinity affai rs in order to be a more articulate spokesman as a phonathon caller and Baltimore club leader. As national alumni phonathon chair, you rallied clubs throughout the country, encouraging them to come out and answer the call for the alumni and parents' funds. On your watch some cities hit record high numbers for caller attendance, an important factor in involving younger alumni in the giving effort. Even during your busy years as president of the National Alumni Association, you pitched in to help your Class surpass its goal for the 15-year Reunion gift. By your outstanding example, you have provided a model for alumni involvement which all of us can strive to emulate. For your achievements and energetic leadership, we have the honor today to present you, JEFFREY H. SEIBERT, Class of 1979, with the Alumni Medal for Excellence.

t was unanimously agreed that Ibestthis year's Reunion was the one yet. We were congratulated by the College for our strong attendance and giving efforts. Special thanks are extended to CURRIE SMITH, DAVID CLARK, W ILLIAM BULLARD, MARK LEAVITT and NINA DIEFENBACH for all of their hard work on our behalf. It seems that as the years pass, we all have more in common. Those of us who had not been to Trinity in recent years were impressed with the new look of the campus. President Dobelle's goal of reaching out to the neighborhood surrounding Trinity was also applauded . Several classmates attended the Reunion from distant homes. They included BRUCE MITCHELL from Texas, LANIER DREW from Florida, and JOAN STEUER from Cali-

fornia. Hungry alumni in the greater Hartford area should check out JOE TROIANO and GRACE HARONIAN TROIANO's new restaurant for breakfast or lunch. JOHN ALEXANDROV (our new Class President) is the senior partner in the law firm Alexandrov & Metzger, and also hosts a radio call-in program entitled "It's the Law" on WTAG AM 580. Congratulations to RICK NAHILL and his wife, Karen, on the birth of their triplet sons (wow!) . I also heard that ELENA HOVEY and her husband recently had a baby boy. BOB SHAW is teaching history in Princeton, N.J. and is anticipating the birth of his second child. The Class of 1980 was featured at the Reunion.

The friendships that were formed at Trinity have endured. -Anita Spigulis

Greetings Class of '85!

ur 1Oth Reunion has come and gone and was a great success by all measures. On Friday evening, an unspecified group gathered to elect officers for the next five years. As a result, I'll be bringing you periodic updates on our Class members through the Reporter. Our new Class President is KATHLEEN O'CONNOR BOELHOUWER, ANNETTE BOELHOUWER is Vice President and ERICA THURMAN MERRILL is Class Agent. We had a great Reunion turnout with 105 alums returning to campus, as well as spouses, significant others and kids! Though I missed the festivities on Friday night, rumor has it, it was a wild old time. Saturday evening started out with cocktails and dinner in Mather followed by dancing and more socializing in the Washington Room (who could forget the Washington Room?) . At Saturday's dinner, LOU SHIPLEY took the award

for the farthest distance traveled to Trinity, all the way from Tokyo! Rather than make you endure my meandering memories of Reunion conversations, I'm just going to say that everyone looks great 10 years later and it was fun to catch up. When 1 get my first batch of news from the alumni office, I promise to provide specifics on who is doing what and where. Meanwhile, for the benefit of those who did not make it to Reunion and did not get that big directory, here's a very brief synopsis of the results of Lee's Class survey. The majority of us are married, without children, live in our own homes in the suburbs near New York, have a graduate degree, go to bed around 11 p.m., drink Sam Adams and diet Coke (not together), watch Seinfeld and Letterman, and vote regularly. I wonder what we'll say by 2000? Look forward to hearing from y'all (sorry, but I live in Atlanta now)! -Alison Berlinger Holland

co-author of Best-Ever Brownies. On Saturday, the Widener Gallery in Austin Arts Center will feature the Contemporary Photographs from the Collection of PETER HAY HALPERT. Hopefully our record attendance will provide the next Class Secretary with much gossip for the following issue of the Reporter. LEONIE HERSHFIELD KRAMER sent word from California that her second son, Elan Jonah, was born Sept. 14, 1995. Isaac, their oldest, is now almost four. Leonie reports that she and Jay are very busy with the boys, but very happy, and very tired almost. all the time! They survived the terrible fires that Laguna Beach suffered in '93, and the floods of '95, and in spite of all the natural disasters still love living in California. RICK NAHILL and his wife, Karen, are also the proud parents of baby boys. On Oct. 18, 1994, "My Three Sons," Anthony, Andrew and Robert, arrived a couple of months premature, but they and Karen are doing well. Rick and his family recently moved to Osterville on Cape Cod, and in January he started a new job. On May 13, at the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston, MACEY RUSSELL was presented with one of the 1995 Ten Outstanding Young Leader (TOYL) Awards. The Boston Jaycees have sponsored the TOYL Award program since 1952. The program. seeks to recognize and pr:omote outstanding leadership and community commitment. This goal is reached by honoring 10 young men and women between the ages of 21 and 40 for their professional accomplishments, personal development, and most of all, community service."Some earlier recipients include John F. Kennedy, Leonard Bernstein, F. Lee Bailey and Michael Dukakis, to name a few. Congratulations, Macey! I have received some wonderful postcards from KEECY HADDEN WEINER. She was in Washington, D.C. for United Way meetings in early March, and in Australia and New Zealand exploring the Outback and Great Barrier Reef at the end of the month. LEE CLAYTON has also kept us apprised of her business travels through postcards. Since January she has traveled to Malta, the Czech Republic, England, Morocco and India. The spa vacation she was planning should have been a welcome change of pace before she returned to England for more work.

Over the Easter holidays I decided to venture south with my boys and enjoy some of the spring weather that is still eluding New England. After stops in Gettysburg and Charlottesville to visit family, we spent a few days in Washington, D. C. While in Washington, we had dinner with JIM MARTIN and PAGE LANSDALE and their families one night and with LISA BLOCK and SARAH MCCOY MCCARTHY and her family on another.

Trinity's "Her Stages" celebration program on April 7, for which Helen served as a panelist. Her bio reads as follows: "She was vice president of the Mount Company and Paul Maslansky Productions at Warner Brothers Pictures. Since 1993, she and Tony Bill have formed a new company, Barnstorm Films, with MGM/UA. She produced 'Untamed Heart' for MGM in 1993, associate produced 'A Home of Our Own' for Grammercy in 1993 and will produce 'Kill the Messenger' for Showtime. Before her involvement in film, she studied poetry, earning an MFA from 1 the creative writing prog ram at NYU. As a journalist and poet, she worked for The Paris Review where she continues to be a contributing editor." SAUNDRA KEE BORGES was officially sworn in as permanent city manager of Hartford last Dec. 15, as reported by The Hartford News. VIRGINIA O'BRIEN BRENNAN gives news of her life: "Brian Brennan was born in l993,joining brother, Patrick (age five and one-half). I am still working for Aetna in Parsippany, N.J., running their pension office." She met TOM ROCHE at a business meeting and they caught up on Trinity news. "I think often of what fine people I knew while at

school - really special folks. Although I haven't been in close touch, I'd love to hear from any alumni in the New Jersey area," Virginia writes. SUE WALSH was recently the maid of honor at NANCY LUCAS 's wedding. She recently moved to Park Slope, Brooklyn, and manages a private banking group for the Bank of New York. Nancy Lucas corroborates Sue Walsh's account of her wedding to Ian Lipner in January '95, although Nancy chooses the term "Best Woman" rather than maid of honor. Nancy also lives in Park Slope, but plans to move way out west this year. She spotted GARY PALMER '81 in Bed Bath & Beyond where he was furnishing his new East-Side apartment. KAREN LOREN CAMPBELL says there aren't enough hours in the day. She spends hers with son, Jamie (eight), and. baby, Karaline (one) (see Births), teaching Spanish to three- and six-year-olds and participating in the San Antonio Roadrunners. She keeps in touch with JEAN HAYDEN, MARGARET HENDERSON and WENDY MELVILLE. Karen writes, "Runners World mentioned that ALEX MAGOUN was the first qualifier for the 1995 Boston Marathon. Congratulations and good luck, Alex." Karen would like to hear from anyone down in Texas. I'll close with a message from ED THEURKAUF: "I grew my hair long (again), got a job, ride my Harley, and listen to Neil Young records. I'm lean and fit, and life is pretty good. I don't see my old friends as much as I'd like to, but when we do meet, it's like old times again. Keep the rubber side down!"

ANDY FOX was promoted to ge~eral manager of the Union Camp Corrugated Container operations in Kansas City, Mo. He is responsible for two facilities employing over 150 people.

challenging but also very satisfying. I guess 12 years of hard work can truly be rewarding." WILLIAM GRISWOLD was named head of the department of drawings and prints at the Pierpont Morgan Library in Manhattan. DIANE BROUDER HARRIS enjoys her work as a family therapist in a community youth services bureau. She traveled to Dallas by train last year, which she terms a "real adventure." She notes that life in Connecticut is quiet, and that she still enjoys Cinestudio after all these years.

The College alunmi office acted as intermediary between a Wareham, Mass. resident and TODD BEATI. While metal-detecting on a Massachusetts beach, Mildred Carrigan ofWareham found a Trinity College class ring with Todd's name engraved on the inside. After Todd and his ring were reunited, he phoned the office to say that his ring had been missing for nine years. Singer ANN BROWN participated in the program, "Her Stages," which was part of the 25th Anniversary of Coeducation at the College. In her performance, she took a "pregnant pause" to exam.ine musicaltheater's view of motherhood.

WEEZIE KERR received a fellowship from the Syvenna Foundation and spent three months in a cabin in the Piney Woods of Northeast Texas fulfilling their writer-in-residence program. She notes, "The solitude was remarkable compared to my lifestyle in C hi cago (no TV or phone or visitors), but allowed me to write my second novel, the second draft of which I've just completed. Now to sell it. I continue to write and work temp jobs in the Loop. I see JANE MELVIN MATTOON as much as possible (and try to get myself invited for breakfast because her husband Rick makes amazing pancakes).

Tom is a lawyer with Smith Somerville and Case, and Olive is in advertising at Gray Kirk/Van Sant. GEORGE BANTA (a Ia Tom Z.) also sent in 10 years of news in one concise letter. Do you think perhaps everyone is getting ready for our 10-year Reunion next year and polishing up his _ _ ?! George is a materials engineer for Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc. in Akron, Ohio, volunteers at the Cleveland Zoo and takes biology classes to further his knowledge of the animals.

He adds a P.S.: "My swashbuckling days came to an end in graduate school when I 'blew out' my knee against Case Western R eserve." MIMI GATCHELL writes, "The Midwest isn't so bad ...." Now there's a ringing endorsement. She loves teaching German to seventh-to-tenth graders and plans to take some to Germany this summer. O h yes, and sh e likes the Midwest because she could afford to "purchase lodging" (her phrase, not mine) on a teacher's salary!

When I first began my tenure as Class Secretary, I found that the two most common themes were weddings and advanced degrees. However, this time I've noticed a switch to a different category babies! It seems as though many classmates are getting busy making families! Can you believe some of us are someone's parents now? First let me get to those expecting in the near future, or recent past. Included in this group are CHRIS MILES and his wife, Jeannie, who were due sometime last May. NAT PERKINS and her husband were expecting their first baby in July. Former Class President, MISSY BRONZINO, expected her first baby in August. JOHN and Suzie MONTGOMERY are expecting their ·first in September. Also expecting their first baby in September are Clay and GINNYVOGEL YONCE. JUDGE and KATE '86 MCKEE were looking forward to a sibling for their daughter, Taylor, sometime in July. As for recent arrivals ... SKIPPY REDMON BANKER and her husband, ALEX '83 , recently welcorned their second daughter, Sarah, into the world. Skippy and Alex already have a daughter, Carter, who is almost four. OLIVER CARR and wife, BONNIE ALENDER CARR, recently had a baby boy. I did hear of two entries on the wedding front. STEVE POULIN married Joan S. Satz on Aug. 7, 1993 in Darien, Conn. (see wedding photos). Classmates attending the wedding were GREG WILLlAMS, MARIO NETO, TIM ANDERSON, DEBORAH MORAN and JANE KANG. Steve is a manager of Royal Bank

of Canada's U.S.A. securitization group based in New York City, and is responsible for sourcing transactions for a Royal Bankadministered asset-backed commercia! paper funding vehicle which a colleague and he helped to establish. Joan also works at Royal Bank and is a corporate banking associate. In May 1994, Steve completed his nighttime studies and received an MBA in finance from Fordham University Graduate School. Steve and Joan currently reside in Little Neck, N.Y. LISA VAN RIPER was married in May to David Masucci (SUNYNew Paltz '85). Lisa is a managing supervisor of the Atlanta office of Fleishman-Hillared International Communications. David is a freelance commercial photographer in Atlanta. I received a much-welcomed letter from KURT STOUT (who has managed to stay out of Class Notes since graduation), and he proved to be a good source of information. Kurt is currently working in Washington, D.C. for the International Forum. The alumni office informs me that CAROL HELSTOSKY is currently completing her dissertation in Italian history at Rutgers University. In 1993-94, she was a visiting researcher at European University Institute, Fiesole, Italy. She was also the recipient of a Fulbright Fellowship. In 1994, she was the recipient of the Woodrow Wilson Women's Studies Dissertation Grant. The alumni office has also learned that RICHARD MERHIGE is planning a September wedding in northern Spain (see Engagements). They will, however, "continue to live long and prosper in our 'fair city' of New York," Richard notes. Also from the alumni office PHOEBE MCBRIDE participated in a performance at Trinity's Austin Arts Center this past spring. Phoebe has performed both musical-theater and dramatic leading roles in regional theater, summer stock, and in a national tour of Some Enchanted Evening. She has concluded that "acting and singing are essentially the same." In her Trinity performance, she integrated a variety of songs and short monologues from well-known works specially adapted for the evening's "quest for identity." I recently attended the grand opening of Sazarac Grove, a bar and grill owned and operated by three Trinity grads,JOHN EMERY '89,JIM BEAKEY '89 and NED ROWLAND '90. There

were swarms ofTrinity people there, but unfortunately not nearly enough from our Class. One of the evening's highlights was DAVE JESSUP's emergence from a long hibernation. He has been cooped up out at UMass AII).herst in pursuit of higher learning. I chatted with ANDY ZIMMERMAN '88 who gave me an update on BOB EDMUNDS and DAVE STEDT. Bob is either working on or has completed his MBA (I forget what Andy told me) at New York University and is working for The New York Times. Dave and his wife are living in Hopkinton, Mass. and Dave is working for his family's trucking business. Other classmates at the fete were ISABELLE PARSONS LORING and JOHN MONTGOMERY. INGRID KOTCH ROWLAND came to visit recently, and she is now officially an M.D. She did most of her fourth year rotations here in Boston, but she and her husband, Michael, will be heading to Philadelphia in June so that she can begin her obstetrics residency and he can continue his orthopedic residency. As for me, I recently turned 30 (I'm sure many other '87ers recently met with the same fate). Definitely made me feel old - 30years-old, eight years out of college, 12 years out of high school, two kids, a house in the 'burbs this old gal ain't no spring chicken any more. But to help gloss things over, my husband, MURPHY, planned a surprise birthday party for me in Palm Beach and recruited a good group ofTrinity friends to come help me forget my woes. BILL and LISA DETWILER, PETER and BIZ '88VOUDOURIS,JOHN and Suzie MONTGOMERY, and a handful of other good friends and family members were there for three days of golf, tennis, sun, swimming, eating and drinking (and no kids!).

Spring has sprung ... at least here in Boston, and I haven't even seen the Reporter from my last "essay" and here I am writing another. Apologies to all who seem to have to wait a year to see their news; the deadlines seem to come directly before you all get the news in to my tiny mailbox. As the days get longer, so do the work hours, but looking in my Trinity file, I seem to have gathered a lot of news from all of you ... so here goes. First (and foremost of course!) is the news from right here in Boston. HOLLY DAVOREN DEWOLFE is building her first home with husband, Mike, in Bradford, Mass. They should be moved in by May - when they also expect their first child. Also, Holly is in her second semester at Suffolk University, pursuing a master's of science in human resources, while also working for Enterprise RentA-Car as recruiting department manager for all of Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. DIANE MANNING ABE and her husband, Dave, purchased their · first home and are living in Arlington, Mass. Diane is finishing her master's in higher education administration at Boston College, and works there as well. Ran into KEVIN CHARLESTON on the street recently. He works here in Back Bay and he and his wife are expecting a baby. LAURIE CARLSON is working at Harvard Community Health Plan and is living in Brookline and travels to Italy a few times each year for vacations. The biggest Trinity social event of the winter was the opening of Sazarac Grove Bar & Grill in Cambridge, Mass. Owned by JIM BEAKEY '89 and JOHN EMERY '89, this new hot spot hosted a great party in March, which featured special Boston appearances by out-of-towners such as DAVID MCNAUGHTON and ROB REISKIN. Local '88ers showing support for the boys from AD includedJOANNE PALANDRO, JULIE SHUTT, NANCY SPALDING, BOB FARNHAM, MATT and GINNY SPAHR KEATOR, DON FREYTAG, ANDY ZIMMERMAN and DAVID LEMONS.

A feature on her lifestyle was recently published in Bile Magazine Gan. '95 issue), and a spotlight on her marriage to James Fairchild was ineluded in The New York Times "Style" section in September '94. Whitney is currently a fashion director for Ralph Lauren's "Ralph" line. Further north, in Albany, N.Y., LISA NIGRO has become an associate at DeGraff, Foy, Holt-Harris, Mealey & Kunz, a law firm. She went to Vanderbilt University School of Law. Down in Washington, D.C., TARA LICHTENFELS is engaged to be married ... no word on the exact plans yet. LIZ CAHN GOODMAN has moved her family (husband, Adam, and daughter, Alex) to Tallahassee, Fla. and taken a job as the director of the Commission on Long-Term Care in Florida.

(See the Internet and American Online addresses at the end of this article. It's so much easier now that a stamp is 32Â˘.) VICTORIA ARTHAUD (Washington, D.C.) graduated Georgetown Law in May arid is with a plaintiff's law firm working on environmental toxic tort cases. H er husband, JON KULOK, works for a political consulting firm in Washington, D.C. Could a move back to the Big Apple be in their future? Only time will tell . KATIE SHERR BOGART (Paris, France), an analyst for Citibank, and her high-flying pilot husband, Pierre, have been married almost two years and enjoy living in the City of Lights. However, if you are thinking of visiting chez Bogart, do it soon as the couple is planning to move down south to Toulouse this July. Jonathan Cox (N.Y.C.) completed his first year of Columbia Business School and is a summer associate with Goldman Sachs' Investment Banking Group -just say no to derivatives!

Jay mentioned that JEFF DOWNlNG (New Haven) is a religion professor at Sacred Heart University and there are possible wedding bells in Jeff's future. Steven Harrod (Needham, Mass.) traveled the infobahn to announce his engagement to Candace Naegel (you may have met her at Reunion). The wedding date could be this summer or 1996. Good luck with all the details! Steven is a computer consultant. Becky Holt (sleepless in Seattle) is in the University ofWashington's

graduate program for multiethnic education. She enjoys Seattle in many ways, except for winter's constant cloud cover. Becky, didn't you rent the movie first? Becky is trying to get in touch with DICK MAHAFFY. Does anyone know w here to reach him (or his Internet address)?

Class of 1990

he proud Class of '90 (Motto: "It took us five years, but we finally have jobs!") had a terrific weekend at the Reunion. We spent much of our time catching up with one another, meeting new friends, and trying to earn back our tuition in freebies from the Hospitality Tent. Many of us were housed in the Wheaton/Jones/Elton area, meaning we'll probably have a very good place in the lottery for our lOth Reunion housing. It was fun staying in the dorms, if only to remind us our apartments really aren't so bad after all. Friday night, we all sort of walked around trying to find each other. Occasionally we'd find a friend,join up in a group, and then walk some more. It was just like freshman year. Once we got reacclimated, we noticed the many changes at

Trinity since we graduated. ("The Cave is huge. But it took me an hour to find itl") We showed tremendous school spirit and enthusiasm as we were shuttled to 15 different places for our Class picture. I don't know how much

money we gave to the school, but it must have been quite a lot because ALEXIS BRASHICH got me to give not only a donation to Trinity, but also money to Save the Whales, Help the Bosnians, and Contribute to President C linton's Legal Aid

Fund. I have Alexis to thank for my new job as Class Secretary. She also did a great job with the Reunion. I look forward to writing about Trinity again, and apologize to the editors of this magazine in advance for my somewhat goofy writing style. I can't help it. I learned to write at the

Tripod. I'd like to invite my fellow '90ers to write me from time to time and let me know what you're up to. For the next five years, I and my fellow class secretaries (I believe there are abo ut 50 of us) will be responsible for keeping track of you, writing about you, and exaggerating how well we and our friends are doing. You can write to me at 11 Liberty St., Natick, Mass. 01760. Drop me a line. I'm here to help.

foot Ryder truck and left New York on the first day of spring (rather poetic, I thought). We spent 10 days (I wish we could have taken longer) driving out on the southern route. A good friend of mine from high school lives in New Orleans, so we took a detour to visit h er and various relatives of Stephen's in Texas. The trip was great but I am glad to have reached California. We are currently staying with Stephen's parents in Marina del Rey while we look for a place of our own. Feel free to send notes to the currently listed address, but look for my new address in the next issue! And let me know if you are con1.ing out to L.A. for a visit! I was able to convince my company, Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing, to give me a job as a sales rep out here. I get to work out of my home (and my car) and travel around to bookstores. I have a lot to learn, but so far the job seems great! A few weeks before I left New York, I had one last opportunity to see the NIELDS at the Bottom Line. If yo u don't know whom I am talking abou t or if you aren't on their mailing list, you are missing out! They have quit their "day jobs" and are touring full-time now, so make sure you get out and support KATRYNA! Unfortunately, I don't have the number for you to call to get on their mailing list (it's a really easy number to memorize but I seem to have forgotten it in the aftermath of my cross-country move) but I'll let you know in a future issue. EVE APPLEBAUM KNAPP wrote and told me that she and JON will be moving out to San Diego in June. Eve w ill be doing a family medicine residency at U.C.S.D. and Jon will be doing his internship at Balboa Naval Hospital. Jon plans to go into either emergency medicine or criti cal care.

ing and working in the Boston area as well. In January, I got a note from BRIAN SCHULZ. Brian had been working in Washington, D.C. until last July when he left his job to head up to the Amos Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth for his MBA. A week before he was to head up to school, however, h e received a letter from the admissions office stating that too many people had enrolled and offering a year deferral to those who submitted an acceptable proposal on plans for the year. Within days Brian had drafted a proposal to volunteer for Habitat for Humanity in Budapest w hich was accepted by Tuck. Brian is the organizational director at the Budapest affiliate of Habitat for Humanity which means he organizes the business aspect of the national office and enlists local volunteers to serve on committees and boards. The Budapest affiliate is one of over 1,000 affiliates in the U.S. and 42 countries. His office has been open for almost three years and they have completed close to 30 houses in that time. His term there ends in June and he plans to head up to Tuck this fall . Well, that does it for now! Thanks to everyone w ho wrote! Now that I am in California, I will be relying on my mail for news since I won't be bumping into alums - so send me a note and let me know what you are up to! Hope everyone is well ...

m Time again for another edition of Class Notes. I must say, first of all, many thanks to all of you who answered my desperate and pathetic plea. for mail, which I made a few issues ago. I got a couple of letters from some people I hadn't heard from in a. while, and I really appreciate it, so keep up the good work! For instance, SARAH JACKSON sent me a note from her abode in Manhattan Beach , Calif. As of January, Sarah was working on her master's in communication at the Annenberg School for Communication at U.S. C., and she

also works at Golin / Harris, a PR firm in Los Angeles. She sounds very busy, but happy ou t on the West Coast. She also told me that ERIN MARKEY is still in D.C., working for Burson-Marsteller. I also heard from entrepreneur CRAIG DIETTER, w ho has started his own gardening business in San Francisco. His company, "Dietter's Water Gardens," installs waterfalls and fish ponds throughout northern California, and they also have a mail order catalog. Craig has had help with the business from the many Trinity grads h e employs. What's more, if anyone out there is planning on moving west, Craig thinks he should have some more positions opening up this year. Congratulations on your success, Craig! In addition to sharing that good news, Craig had some information to pass on about other '92ers: NESSYTHOMPSON and MARGOT RING are living in San Francisco, as are MIKE MCHUGH and NOAH MACKENZIE '93, an d also REBECCA BURT. DENNIS CORMIER moved out West, but has since moved to Chicago. MIKE PERRONE has apparently been moving back and forth between Chicago and New York City. And in the spring, JOHN ROMEO was finishing up at WNEC Law, while CAMPBELL BARRETT was doing the same at the law school at American University. (I hope they're having better luck finding jobs than I am!) CYNDY NAHABEDIAN sent me a nice letter, giving me an update on life in Chester, N.J. Cyndy is still at Rutgers and w ill have, by now, received her master's in criminology. She has been accepted to the doctoral program in criminology at Rutgers and w ill begin that program in the fall. She continues her work at the Center for Crime Prevention Studies, where she has been promoted to associate director, and it sounds like she's doing well. Cyndy attended LAURA TYBURSKI's wedding in the summer of '94, where she saw LAURA BICKNELL, ALI RIVERS and COYD KURDZIEL '94. Cyndy also mentioned that she often visits N.Y.C. for fun, and she gets to seeTITOVASQUEZ and MARY JO PUGLISI quite a lot (gee, I hope that's accurate - I tend to have bad luck in reporting Vasquez/Puglisi information!). Anyway, many thanks to Cyndy for writing. Now, I also received an interesting letter from JEFF MACDONALD. Jeff is working

pany executives. She also spent two months backpacking through South America. Now Stephanie lives in Pennsylvania and, last we h eard, was looking for a job in Philadelphia. Speaking of Philly, STEVE BURGESS dropped a note to the alu mni office last fall, and at that time he was taking classes at UPenn, volunteering at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and planning on applying to med schools for the fall of 1996. Steve lives with RICH GETZOFF (who is still doing well at Merrill Lynch). He h as run into DARIN STEINBERG '9 1 (who is at Temple Law), and also ANN NEWMAN '9 1. Steve also tells us that TOM SCULL is workin g in New York for th e Maury Povich show as a staff assistant to the executive producer - and he even go t to meet Connie Chung! Out in cheese country (Madison, Wis., that is), HEATHER SMITH is an assistant coach for the varsity women 's rowing team at the University ofWisconsin, and is responsible for their new lightweight women's squad. Although it sounds like Heather is enjoying the exp erience at the Big Ten

He and his partner placed third overall in a competition in Rochester, N.Y. Go figure! (No pun intended.) Jeff also mentioned that h e has seen TOM PRESZ and KEVIN KAVANAGH '93. Kevin finished up his term as the sports information director at Trinity in June. Happy news from B ILL LAPLANTE: h e was married to Tamara Beth Hourigan in December of 1994.

Even farther away from our dear old alma mater, DAVID CAIN is working on commercial fishing boats out of Kodiak, Alaska, after spending most of last winter out in the Bering Sea of the Aleutian Islands. KATHLEEN POWERS participated in a panel sponsored by Trini ty's department of theater and dance last April. Kathleen has been working in the theater in New York since graduating, and h er recent credits include directing the N .Y. premiere of the play, "Post Mortem," at the New Perspectives T h eater Company. Last year, two articles in The New Physician mentioned '92er BRENDAN CAMPBELL. Brendan, w ho is currently a med student at UConn, has developed a lecture module for UConn physicians in training that addresses violence. I got the chance to see many Trin grads at AMY CHIODO's wedding last February in Portland, Maine. Class of '92ers in attendance included JO MARIE RUCCI, KATHY KIMBALL, PAULA CINTI, M IKE ALLEN and ELLEN MCCUSKER. BETH TRUGLIO was one of Amy's bridesmaids, and both JENN MURPHY and BEE BENNETT did readings during the ceremony. It was a beautiful wedding, and we really had a great time. Here at UConn Law, Trinity alums TOVAH KASDIN and DAVE SHAPIRO are making names for themselves: both Tovah and Dave advanced to the final round of the first-year moot court competition, which Tovah and her teammate eventually won. It's great to see such Trinity presence at the law school! Tovah and Dave finished up th eir dreaded first year in the spring - it was nice to see th eir friendly faces around campus . Tovah mentioned to me that ALLISON PICOTT would be graduating from law school at the University ofPittsburgh in spring of'95. YOURS TRULY will be in the Hartford area only until the end of July, and will be moving back home to New York after the (dare I say it) bar exam .

There are lots of exciting activities planned with just you in mind, so join us! For more details, see the Homecoming Weekend schedule sent to you by the Alumni Office. --Your 1993 Reunion Committee. And w h at did I do today? Well, let me see ... After leaving work abou t 10:30 a.m., I went Ollt to lunch , and then h eaded to Fenway Park on this perfect spring day to watch the Red Sox opening day. Afterwards, we played pool, had dinner, etc. - all the good stuff and all of this was the treat of another company. Ah, corporate America.You h ave to admit, w h en the system works, it really works. Yesterday, I spoke w ith SUSAN OLSEN, who explained to me a bit about h ow sh e was milking ... excuse me .. .working diligently at her job w ith Citicorp in New York. She had just returned from a business excursion to my beloved hometown of San Francisco, and had a great review of that fair city. While madly jealous of h er visit there, I was not so overwhelmed wi th emotion that I failed to notice a distinct lack of the mention of extensive business being transacted. Hmmm ... While I went to the first Sox game of the year, Susan promises to be in Boston for the Bruins' last game at the Garden, adding herself to the large body of our Trinity brethren already hanging around Bean town. Out for drinks and dinner a few weeks ago with CLIVE BARD and new arrival (at least in these pages) J OHN TREVISAN, DAN SCANLAN was playing with his corporate toy cellular telephone. Upon arriving home later, Dan was panicked to find the phone in question no longer attached to his person. When h e desperately dialed the number, the thieving party who answered the phone was none other than ... Mr. Bard. John Trevisan, it seems, is hard at work just outside of Boston as a large group underwriter (Large groups? Or small groups with large members?) for a company called Consolidated Group.

perks, Genzyme hotshot DAVID RIKER blessed me with a sixpiece, three-dimensional Genzyme corporate logo foam-rubber puzzle (which I promptly sent through the wash in a pocket). David is working hard and hopes to be promoted soon from the corporate gimmick division. H e is, in fact, working a bit too hard, but perhaps you should ask him about that. He is working especially hard on his game. Not golf, as you might expect, but whiffieball. On the first beautiful sunny day of spring, alongside the lovely River Charles, dodging doggy droppings and being dodged by rocketing rollerbladers, David and I met for a downright fierce whiffieball game. We were accompanied by architectural assistant MINNA KIM, SUSIE DYSON, MEG "Margaret" DUNN, and MILO COGAN '94, along with a cast of zany, though less-well-known characters. PRASANT SAR also was a warrior of the basepaths that fine day, but I feel it better to mention him in conjunction with the epic story of The Very Early Morning. One Sunday, Prasant and I met at 8:45 .in the morning down at the Charles and spent two misty, damp and dreary hours running from one side (through perilous traffic) to the other of the Mass. Ave. bridge to cheer on various Trinity boats as they raced Boston College up the river and into the fog. Sadly, Trinity did not appear to be faring all that well... ... Which reminds me of my own crew days, and my dear coxswain, RACHEL TOTMAN, who writes from New York City that she has just gotten back from Venezuela, and how is everything with me? Come on now... what am I supposed to say? Can't anyone just send a postcard from the Grand Canyon a~y more? Rachel seems to be doing well, and I got a call from KATIE ABEL (special events coordinator for GQ - she's in the masthead!) the other day, so I assume that she is well, but generally New York has been close with its news, as of late. Except that this Christmas, when I was back in S.F. at my high school five-year reunion, I ran into an old acquaintance who'd been hanging around with certain Trinity folk in New York and had some interesting stories to tell, which are entertaining but sadly not fit for these pages. Speaking of interesting stories, ASHLYN HILEY called me yesterday to let me know that there was a big bee flying around her apartment. Oops .. .I think I took that last item from the wrong pile.

Wait ...here's one. I recently received a call from BILL PEDACE, who had just returned from a year in Florida, and has now settled into Newburypo rt to open his own business as a stockbroker. So, if anyone has any extra capital lying around and is wondering what to do with the money, Bill's number is ... On second thought, I'll wait until I get those insider tips Bill promised me. And on to the mail bag .. . Susan Olsen reports that KATE SHAFFER is in Alabama on the eternal quest to Stay in School, and is striving toward the coveted master of library science and art history. Also, KATE CADETTE has migrated to New York and just finished her first off-Broadway production, while GREG CREAMER has ditched the bellhop cap and taken up the mantle of Smith Barney. Also from New York, CARA CAHALAN is in her second year of her Ph.D. program in psychology at Fordham University, doing research on Ghanian education and the relationship between asthma and learning disorders. (Copies of that thesis will be available to the public for a nominal fee.) She reports that AMY SECREST is in the same program, and working part-time as a... excuse me .. .with truant children. JEN DECAPRIO, on the other hand, is working at Yale in the molecular psychiatry department. JODI FALCIGNO is teaching sixth grade and coaching junior high basketball; DOUG RAUSCH is finishing up a second management training program at Brown Brothers, Harriman in New York; SCOTT WILKINS is finishing up his second year at Fordham Law School and is on Fordham's moot court team; and FERNANDO CACELA is living on the Upper West Side and is working for a Portuguese bank, and is on his company's moot banking team. CRISTIN KEARNS, finishing up h er first year at University of North Carolina Dental School, is gearing up for a summer in Mexico aiding dentally-underprivileged youths. (Some of these kids have never even heard of braces!) SARA N. WEDLOCK was living in Decatur, Ga. and working at a paid internship with the public relations and advertising department of the Prudential Healthcare System's Southern Group Operations. (Huh?) Since, however, she has trod steadily along, and is now assistant editor of Modern Paint and

Coatings, a magazine for model train buffs...okay, it's really for chemists and engineers. She is now living in Atlanta with JENNIE BAKER. Speaking of former Tripod editors made good,JAY AKASIE has some big news, aside from leaving his plum position as a reporter for The New Britain Herald for an even better summer spot with the Nantucket Inquirer/Mirror, but I won't spoil the surprise. Just ask Jay what. he is doing this fall ... BREENE FARINGTON writes that she is living in New York, working in publicity at a book publishing house. NICOLE CRISCIONE writes that she and KATI KWAK '92, hard at work .at Albany Law School, took a road trip down to Washington, D.C. to divert WILL MACON from his toils at American University. Mystery Person, w hose name was not on the note, writes, "I live in Boston and work at Dana Hall School in the development office. I often see JIM HAZELTON, who lives in Boston and who works for Oppenheimer and Co. as a broker. He lives with SUSAN ROST and LEXI RICE." NANCY SWEENEY has tuned in from planet New Mexico w ith an amusing and information-filled note which I promptly threw away. Just kidding, Nancy. .. It seems that Nancy is plodding away at U.N.M. studying playwriting, and hopes to have her MFA in theater in a brief half-decade. And Nancy's cast of characters: TONY CANATA is studying law at UPenn. BRITT STOCKTON is studying for her Ph.D. and M.D. at Tufts, while SARAH HAMMOND is pursuing social service work in D.C. JASON SLAVIC is in Jerusalem, very far away. KARALYN KINSELLA is studying medicine at UConn, KELLEY MCDEVITT joined the ranks of the matrimonially attached (along with STEPHEN HOOKER '92), and STOREY SMITH is studying psychotic (or was that psychiatric - your writing, Nancy) nursing. Her less well-grounded rumors will have to wait for a time when there's less material. RICK ZEDNIK checks in from his paternal homeland of Slovakia, to report that he is helping to launch an English-language newspaper in that far-off land. Good luck, Rick. I'm sure that you can teach those budding capitalists a thing or two about opportunism. A final note - last week my father and little sister stopped at Trinity as they made the obliga-

c..

tory junior-year-in-high-school pilgrimage to eastern college campuses. My kindly former roommate and Trin-lore aficianado,Jay Akasie, expertly guided the pair around Gallows Hill, until, alo ng the Long Walk, they bumped into an official tour group listening with rapt attention as the peppy undergraduate expounded a bit on the plaque at the foot of Northam Towers. "The initials on the stone are those of two former presidents, and students can't walk on it until their senior year." "Actually," piped up Jay, clearing his throat, "T.R. is U.S. President T heodore Roosevelt, and F.S.L. is Trinity President Flavel Sweeten Luther. And, students cannot walk on the stone until they graduate." "You n1ean," asked the incredulous tour guide, "They were doing that back when you were here." "That's right," answered my father, as Jay's jaw dropped to the ground. "Way back in the early '90s ." Anybody feel old yet? Jonathan E.

Hi, Class of '94! I have a feeling that by the time you read this, we w ill no longer be the youngest Trinity alumni in the Reporter. I can't b elieve that right now, as I am writing, we are approaching the end of our first year out of college. I hope that everyone that I have not h eard from (or heard about) is happy and healthy! T his time I have actually received a few letters and notes from you to let me know what you are doing, and many of you have written to the alumni office, which is really helpful. One letter I received was from STEVE MARCUS who wrote and said that he was in Boston doing "City Year," which is a one-year Americorps community service progran1. However, at the time h e wrote he mentioned that he was about to leave Boston to start a new "City Year" program in Kansas City, Mo. with five other people. Good luck, Steve! Steve also wrote about a bunch of other Trinity people in Boston and elsewhere: Living together in Boston are JASON WILKINS, ERIC SYNN,

RICHARD DOPAZO andJOSH MARTIN. Jason is a research associate of ophthalmology at New England Medical Center, and Eric, Rich and Josh have all been working at the Harvard Office for Information Technology since last August. Eric is the computer coordinator there. Also in Boston, AARONWHITE has been busy sending out applications for graduate schools and DAVE KINSMAN has entered a pre-doctorate program in chemistry at Boston College. Steve reports that all of the above mentioned have been spotted at The Sunset Grille in Allston from time to time. NICOLE RAY is in NewYork City working on the staff of Aperture, a fine photography publishing foundation. KATE GSCHWEND is busy in Virginia studying at the College of William and Mary in the Ph.D. program for American studies. GABE HANDEL (who also wrote to the alumni office) is living in Cambridge and working at Harvard's Fairbank Center for East Asian Research as a staff assistant and publications editor. Steve also wrote that "the enigmatic FRED FALKSON" has interned for several public relations firms throughout Taipei, China, Washington, D.C. and Hawaii. He is now back in New York and applying to graduate school. CLIFF FULLER is in Hartford raising money and preparing to produce his first Hollywood movie. YAJEN CHANG is developing an environmental curriculum at Boston's New England Aquarium. Finally, Steve wrote that PAT GINGRAS, TANYA KHOURI, JENNIFER JORDAN, MATT SIMPSON andANDYWANG are frequently "spotted on the Green Line in Boston." Thank you, Steve, for so much information! SETH GERBER wrote from Los Angeles to say that he is currently working as a paralegal at Bet Tzedek Legal Services, a free legal aid for the elderly and low- income residents of Los Angeles. JULIA STRONG also wrote to the alumni office from Manhattan to say th at she is enjoying living in New York and studying dance at Broadway Dance Center. She is working full time as a paralegal in a matrimonial law firm. She reports that "other members of the Class of '94 Paralegal Club" are ROBYN ADCOCK (Cravati, Swain and Moore) and JESSICA BORST, who works in the World Trade Center. DIANA PABICH wrote to say that she is currently living in

Simsbury, Conn., and working as an actuarial analyst at Tillinghast Towers Perrin, a consulting firm. She also reported that she is engaged to MICHAELJUD '91, who still lives in Boston. Their wedding is planned for May of 1996. Congratulations! LISA WHITNEY h as been accepted at Tufts School ofVeterinary Medicine. She wrote that she and Ralph will be h eaded back to Boston this fall to attend. CRADY HILGENBERG wrote 路tO say that since graduation, she started her own business as an independent contractor for a marketing company, and reported that she "loves being my own boss." She said that she had 15 people working for her, and that she was constantly interviewing more. I recently spoke with DAVE HETHERINGTON who will be so unhappy that I am mentioning him, but too bad! He is living in Fayetteville, N .C. and working hard for the Fayetteville Generals, a minor league baseball team. He told me that GARRISON LAMOTHE (who, by the way, was noticeably absent from Homecoming last fall, and better be there this fall!) is in Dallas working as a loan collector. Dave said that Gar loves his job and is really happy. Last weekend, Tom Socha and I went up to Boston to see LIZ DUNCAN, SARA TITUS, TASCHA KONTNY and KEN THRESS. Tom is still living with CHRIS FOLEY in Manhattan. Tom still works at Banker's Trust and plans to spend his weekends this summer in the Hamptons. Chris is still with Skadden Aarps working as a paralegal, but he, unfortunately, did not join us for the weekend. He is now spending lots of time playing volleyball (surprise, surprise), but instead of being on the Quad with Kirk Peters, Foley is playing in Central Park! Anyway, Sara Titus has switched jobs and is now working at the Gardner Museum in Boston and she loves it. Ken Thress, who is currently at Dana Farber, will be sorely missed after he moves to Seattle this summer with MEGAN REILLY '95. But h e assures me that they will come back soon, and I intend to hold them to that. While in Boston, we ran into MARK KASTRUD, WILL SARGISSON,JANETYORK and MICHELLE FALBO. Mark and Will are living together in Somerville, outside of Boston. Mark works at a publishing company and Will is working for The Boston Company. Janet told me that she is living in Needham and

She, too, is living in Boston with her sister, ALLISON PICOTT '92, and working for Shawmut Bank. She told me that she runs into Trinity people frequently on her lunch hour in Boston, including MARLEIGH PHILLIPS, STEVE TEDESCH I, MARY ROBINSON and BRIAN WILLIAMSON. Also in Boston, MOLLY MCKENNA is in law school at B. U. , and she is apparently working really hard. Andrea also told me the good news that AMY CLARK is engaged to her boyfriend, Dennis Lucenta, and they were planning to be married in the Boston area on Aug. 11, 1995! Congratulations, Amy! In other news, LIZ MAYORGA is working as a paralegal in NewYork and JULIE BAKER is getting her Ph.D. at UPenn in chemistry. She said that CORISSA GALLO is going to be starting the same program at Penn next fall. Also in Philly, DEB WATTS recently completed her first clinical affiliation for physical therapy school in New Hampshire, and she should complete her master's in June of '96. Well, I guess that's it, everyone. I tried to dig up as much information as I could about you all, but if you did not see your name in print this time, just drop me or the alumni office a note about your whereabouts and any news you may have!

An inscribed plaque with a memorial text is affixed to eachg un carriage and, in addition, one carriage bears a plaque in memory of Henry Howard Brownell, Class of1841, Honorary M.A. 1844, who served on Admiral Farragut's staff as personal secretary. Nephew ofBishop Brownell, Trinity's first president, Henry described in verse the conflicts in which he participated, including the Battle of Mobile Bay. His poetry was published in 1864 under the title Lyrics of a Day which was received with great acclaim and which won him the accolade "Our Battle Laureate" from Oliver Wendell Holmes. A familiar sight to generations of undergraduates, the cannons are a symbol of supreme heroism and selflessness. Further research on Trinity's contribution to the Civil War will be pursued and shared with Reporter readers in the future.
