ning effort at Trinity. You will read about it in this issue of the Reporter. As the planning effort moves forward, and as we examine fundamental issues that bear on our future, my hope is that we will challenge basic assumptions, challenge past practice, and challenge each other to raise our sights. Good isn't good enough for an institution that is on a quest and has the potential - to be the best. I have spent many days on the road during the past year, meeting and talking with alumni of the College. On several recent trips, I've participated in very stimulating and probing discussions about Trinity's future. These candid conversations on wide-ranging subjects have sharpened our focus and will inform our strategic planning for the future. Your input, your support, and your affirmation are all enormously important. In the next few years, as the century draws to a close, we will establish

Dear Friends,

M yrlie Evers-\Villiams, speaking at Trinity's 171st Commencement, called on the members of the Class of 1997 to "rise above the ordinary, because you are the extraordinary." She observed that each of them had received "a splendid head start in life at this wonderful institution of higher education." She told them, "You stand here together in the bright sunlight of your future."

Trinity as an undisputed leader among liberal arts colleges. I don't know of another college better positioned than Trinity to lay claim to that position. We will heed Myrlie Evers-Williams' words and will accept, as an institution, the challenge she gave our most recent graduates. Trinity will rise above the ordinary, because it is extraordinary.

In the bright sunlight of your future. I believe that, like our fine graduates, Trinity itself stands in the bright sunlight of its future . We are poised to assume a leadership position among the finest colleges and universities in the nation. I am both inspired and motivated by the strong sense on campus - and beyond - that Trinity enjoys a vast repository of unrealized potential. This potential, coupled with an equally strong will to unleash it, is invigorating. Our confidence in ourselves is affirmed by such indicators as admissions applications and alumni giving. For the first time ever, this year there '\Vere over 4,000 applications for admission to Trinity College. And on a percentage basis, more alumni than ever before - in excess of 50 percent - demonstrated their affection and support for their alma mater with a gift this year. We have launched a comprehensive strategic plan-

''Each of you has a wellspring of hope and idealism beneath a veneer of toughness that you sometimes put forth,"

observed Chairman of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and Commencement speaker Myrlie Evers-Williams. In her impassioned speech, she challenged the 486 new graduates of Trinity College to "find a cause for action every day of your life that w ill test your idealism - and call forth your hope. "Cherish the idealism you carry inside, and use it to get to work! The diplomas you graduates win today can be a wonderful tool if you wield them with hope - not for you.rselves, but for others, too. Tomorrow as you go out into the world ofbusiness, or go on to graduate education, philanthropy or other endeavors, remember your responsibility to use your hard- won degrees as a means to civic health, not just private wealth." Speaking on the Quadrangle before a crowd of more than 4,000 family members and friends on a breezy, but perfect, spring afternoon, Evers-Williams exhorted the graduates to "use your education for the purposes of good

. .. and use hope as a weapon of progress. For if our troubled age has taught us anything, it is that justice too long delayed, and unevenly shared, is not only a moral outrage - i t is a debt that left unpaid will bankrupt us all." Evers-Williams spoke from personal experience: she is the widow of Medgar Evers, field secretary of the Mississippi NAACP, who in 1963 was assassinated outside the family's home in Jackson. Evers-Williams spent 31 years seeking to have his killer brought to justice before finally seeing him convicted. "The time for cynicism is over - and it is you who will help to shape the end of cynicism. It is you - if you summon the courage - who will forge new initiatives in finance, technology, medicine, and management that will put all Americans back to work and at the same time give America a better shot at feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, healing the sick, and caring for the children. It is your generation that must do this work, because it is you who have new eyes with which to see new solutions.

It is you who have the new blood to tackle the task with energy," she said. Referring to the leadership role Trinity has taken in initiating a bold neighborhood revitalization plan in partnership with other institutions and with the City of Hartford, EversWilliams said, "You and your alma mater are to be commended for making this ambitious project a realityfor doing something to create a new envirorunent of renaissance around you . It shows you what good can come when you use that power and develop a vision. I ask you to learn

from this example. Pledge to use your degrees to share with the other neighbors you will encounter in life your rich and your diverse human talent not only in service to the companies you will work for, but also in the company that you will keep. In doing so, you will enrich our American community - even as you enrich yourselves," she told the graduates. In his remarks, Senior C lass President Brian L. Gordon of Aptos, CA also made mention of the neighborhood revitalization initiative and the master planning effort now underway,

saying that the Class of 1997 is leaving the College during exciting times. "When you return in the corning years," he told fellow graduates, "you will see an evolution of the neighborhood and our campus. We should be proud of this institution and support the quest for continued excellence. President Dobelle is a visionary leader, and I am fully confident that he will make Trinity, using his own words, 'the pre-eminent college in America."' Gordon also said in his Commencement speech that his "peers are the future. Among us are the future business leaders, doctors, lawyers, artists, academics, and citizens of the world. I know that someday I will open the newspaper, or turn on the TV, and one of my classmates will be featured as the leading authority in his or her field." Gordon went on to say, "There will be many challenges ahead for us as we try to make sense of this confusing and unpredictable world. However, I am confident that Trinity has prepared us well, and equipped us for the real world. We have been taught to think, question, and analyze. We are prepared to do the right thing." Echoing Gordon, President EvanS. Dobelle ch arged the graduating class to do good. "You, who are the most talented of your generation - you, who are informed by the traditions of a liberal education - must not rest in the safe confines of indifference and moral neutrality. You must lead us- you must lead your community and your nation - in eloquent and unyielding battle for that which is good and right .... "I wish for you peace in your heart but not complacency in your soul. I wish for you every blessing - a life rooted in family and faith; days filled with the challenge and fulfillment of giving every ounce of yourself in noble causes and simple acts of kindness; security of health and self and, even more important, an immeasurable richness earned through service to others," he said. Beneath the shadow of the statue of

the College's first President, Bish op Thomas C. Brownell, members of C lass of 1997 walked up onto the stage to collect their diplomas. As each graduate's name was called, applause and ch eers sprang forth from enthusiastic family members and friends. B ut IDP graduate and Hartford Police Department lieutenant Katherine Ann Perez received special attention. Sh e is the head of the department's youth programs and w h en she left the stage with a political science degree, she was met by 15 uniformed Hartford Police Explorers, teenagers serving as law enforcement apprentices. The group was led by Perez's mother Eleanor Pisiak, and her seven-year-old foster son. The gesture, Pisiak said, was intended to show their respect. Four-hundred-sixty bach elor's degrees, 26 master's, and 11 honorary degrees were presented at Trinity's 171st Commencement. Valedictorian of the Class is Benjamin E. D unn ofWest Hartford, CT, who had a self-designed interdisciplinary major: Foundational Issues in Visu al Modeling. The salutatorian is biology major Michael]. Palladino of Coventry, CT. Optimus honors (for having no grade lower than A-) went to Joseph P. DeAngelis of Springfield, MA. Earlier on Commencement Day, the traditional Baccalaureate service was h eld on the Quad, at which Robert F. Drinan, S.J., noted teacher, legal scholar, and social reformer, delivered the sermon. Both Evers-W illiams and Drinan received h onorary degrees at Commencement. Honorary degrees were also presented to: Douglas G. Brinkley, director of the Eisenhower Center for American Studies and professor of history at the University of New Orleans; William M. Bulger, president of the University of Massachusetts; Chiu Chuang-Huan, senior advisor to the President of Taiwan; John H. Dalton, Secretary of the U.S. Navy; Luis A. Ferre, industrialist and fonner governor ofPu erto Rico; Ellen V. Futter, president of the American Museum of Natural History; Beatrice de Rothschild Rosenberg, civic leader and philanthropist; Pierre Rosenb erg, president-director of the Musee du Louvre; and William D. W hite, baseball legend and former president of the National League.

Agnieszka Stepinska '97

A passion for learning

gnieszka Stepinska '97, the President's Fellow in economics, admits that she took her first economics course at Tr inity quite by chance. The economics and Eng lish double-major, who came to this country just seven years ago from her native Warsaw, Poland , was at first interested in sc ience and math, but a casual suggestion changed the course of her academic life. "A friend convinced me to take an economics course. I was just lucky to get Professor Carol Clark for 'Economics 101 .' She is a very passionate teacher and is interested in Eastern Europe," Stepinska said . "She got me interested and motivated ."

Enormous self-direction Clark says she is impressed by Stepinska's "humility, enormous self-direction, and passion for learning ." That last phrase seems particularly apt. Not only has Stepinska excelled in her study of economics, but also she has done exceptionally well in her second major. Stepinska' s adviser in the English department, Associate Professor Barbara Benedict, said of

her: "She's a very diligent student and an extremely close reader. It's extraordinary considering that English is not her native language." Stepinska shared her passion for learning with others at the College. As a mentor in the First-Year Program, she advised students in terested in following either or both of her two majors . And, she was a teach ing assistant for Professor Diane Zannoni's "Basic Econometrics" course. Stepinska has tied her intense interest in economics to her homeland . Her honors thesis explored the fall of communism in Poland and the role of public opinion in that country's transition to a market economy in a democratic system. According to Clark, the nature and scope of Stepinska' s thesis demonstrated "a n intellectual maturity and sophistication quite unusual in an undergraduate ." This story of remarkable success is made even more remarkable when one con-

siders the relatively short time Stepinska has been in this country. Stepinska left her home in Poland in 1989, bound for Chicago for a summer reunion with her mother, whom she had not seen in seven years . Stepinska's mother, her only surviving parent, had left her with relatives in Poland when she emigrated to the United States in hopes of making a better life for them both in this country . In the process, however, the two had become strangers. Once in th is country, and unable to speak English, a homesick Stepinska wanted only to return to family and friends in Poland. A strong maternal bond developed, however, and altered those plans . Today, the young emigre demonstrates impressive competence in English and writes poetry in both her native tongue and her new language. She is happy that her mother, whom she calls her best friend , prevailed upon her to remain in this country. After graduating from a public high school in Chicago, Stepinska was ready to leave behind the large, close-knit Polish immigrant community in Chicago in hopes of immersing herself in American culture . Like many other college-bound high school seniors, she searched the guide books and soon became interested in Trinity for its out-

standing learning opportunities, low teacher-to-student ratio, and wide array of majors. Stepinska admits, however, that Trinity's attention to one very important detail made a huge difference to her. "Trinity was the only school that didn't misspell my name in their acceptance letter! They really took care to get my name right and I respect them for it," she said.

The international connection Having never been to the East Coast before, much less Hartford, Stepinska felt slightly out of cultural step with her new American classmates . Seizing the opportunity to connect with students from international backgrounds, she joined the Asian-American Student Association and the French Club, whose members' lifeexperience more closely matched her own . " It was much easier for me to connect with them . We had all been exposed to similar things," she noted. And, joining the Polish-American club at Central Connecticut State University provided her with a much-welcomed social outlet where she could speak her native language. Stepinska also found that her transition into a new cul ture was eased by her participation in the Trinity College Activities Club and its Community Outreach program, where she assisted in a Hartford elementary school. After graduation, Stepinska hopes one day to find her "drea m job," working in investments or research for an American company back in Warsaw . "Th ere is still so much to learn," she says with characteristic eagerness. -Suzanne Zack with input fro m Michael Bradley '98

Joshua

Epstein '97

Hitting his mark with humor and honors

ven a short conversation with theater/ dance major Joshua Epstein ' 97 reveals just how difficult it is to get a straight answer from this comical and talented thespian. For Epstein, the imaginative mind behind a new oncampus comedy theater series, it seems the curtain never falls . At Trinity, Epstein delivered a series of nonstop bravura performances in concerts, plays, and musical theater while simultaneously achieving scholastic distinctions . Named to Phi Beta Kappa in December, he also was chosen President' s Fellow in theater and dance. And like the dedication he has demonstrated in his academic accomplishments, Epstein ' s creative drive and sense of humor show no sign of waning . Epstein traces his passion for the stage to family members who are " fanatics" for the theater, and a father who played tenor saxophone for a jazz group he led in the Catskill Mountains. "When other fathers dragged their sons to Yankee games, I was being dragged to musicals, " Epstein recalled . "After a wh ile, things changed and I was d ragging him to the theater." Inspired by actor Donald O'Connor' s number, "Make 'em Laugh" from the musical Singin ' in the Rain , Epstein started acting when he was in elementary school in his hometown of Ridgewood, NJ. " I was fat and didn't like

sports," Epstein jokes in characteristically wry fashion. "I figured I could do more good standing still acting than running around and getting hit by a football." Epstein's theatrical interests continued through high school and in tensified at college decision time . He first turned his sights to colleges with reputations for strong theater programs, then looked at schools with broader curriculums . The approachability of Trinity's professors and the appeal of a liberal arts education sealed his decision. "You need a liberal arts education . You have nothing to draw upon w ithou t a fi rm bas is of knowledge . Otherwise, your work is just about acting," he said.

La MaMa's high energy Part of Epstein's Tr inity experience included the opportunity to study the fall semester of his junior year in New York City in a program the College conducts with an experimental theater company, the Trinity/ La MaMa Performing Arts Program . While there,

Epstein intensively stud ied techniques such as improvisation, mime, and voice , and attended more than 50 professional productions. He says he will always remember the program's high energy level. "There was just a constant pulse, a nonstop energy within the program . Even when I sat in my room alone, I still felt like I was doing something ," he recalls . Epstein enjoyed other opportun ities while at Trinity, including one at one of the country's most highly respected regional theaters . For two semesters, Epstein helped to read and critique new scripts while an intern with Hartford Stage . Watching professional actors rehearse and then later attending their public performances were invaluable learning experiences, Epstein claims . " Being a part of that process is one of the best kinds of education someone can get."

A Chekhov monologue Demonstrating in public what he has learned in the classroom has been reward ing for Epstein. Last

fall, at a gala celebration and performance for Trinity alumni and friends in New York City, he performed a sho rt Chekhov piece called Smoking Is Bad fo r You. He performed the 15-minute monologue again on campus at the "Festival of Chekhov Shorts " at the Austin Arts Center. Associate Professor of Theater Arthur Feinsod, who directed Epstein's performance, praised his studen t' s maturity in handling a d ifficult role . "It's a very challenging part, and he did a beautiful job with it. It' s a comedy, but it also has some very serious underpinnings," Feinsod said. Last fall , students had the chance to witness Epstein ' s wit on Wednesday nights at an extremely popular comedy he started with Leah Kalayjian '97 called "TV or Not TV," in the College' s Underground Coffeehouse . With an hou r of rehearsal, students participated in script-in-hand stagings of such wel l-known situation comedies as

Three 's Company, Different Strokes, and The Wonder Years. Epstein said the experiment of bringing live theater to a large audience in an easy-to-stage format succeeded . In April he and Kalayjian teamed up aga in to perform the lead roles in a reading of Elizabeth Egloff '75's play, WolfMan, at Hartford's Old State House . The reading was part of Trinity's " First Thursdays at the Old State House" series . For his senior thesis Epstein w rote two original comedies . What does the future hold for this talented student? 'Whatever happens, I know that in some way I' ll end up in theater sooner or later," he said. "All roads lead to theater ."

-Michael Bradley '98

La Tanya Langley '97 Pursuing life and law at full throttle

or LaTanya Langley ' 97, free time has essentially not been an option at Trinity. For example, in the spring semester of her junior year, she earned a 4 .0 grade-point average while enrolled in six courses and serving as a teaching assistant. As a senior, when not work ing on her senior honors thesis, or singing, or arranging special events for a variety of organizations on campus, the po litical science major pursued her interest in law as a legal assistant for a Connecticut law firm . " She' s one of the few students I have had to tell to take it easy and not work quite so hard/' says her adviser, Political Science Professor Clyde McKee. " She worked at her maximum capability all the time . I'm very impressed w ith her/' he said. The Norwalk, CT native had an impressive array of options when it came to college . Langley applied to 1 1 col leges and was accepted to quite a few large, well-known, and respected schools including Georgetown University, Duke University, Villanova University, the University of North Carolina, and Drew Un iversity. But it was the flex ibility and opportunity that our liberal arts curriculum offered , coupled with the breadth and diversity within the political sc ience department, that led her to enroll at Trin ity.

Race relations forum While here, Langley was

active in several organizations on campus, including the Trinity College Women's Organization , the Pan-African Alliance , and the Gospel Choir. Through her involvement in these groups, she organized lectures by prominent commun ity leaders, including one by her mentor, Hartford City Manager Saundra Kee Borges ' 81 . Also of note was a forum she planned last year on race relations that featu red area professors, lawyers, and members of activist groups such as the 21st Century Black Panther Party. Langley enjoyed spending " spare" moments singing, both on campus and at various public events in and around her hometown . A former winner of the nationally televised talent competition "Teen Search / ' Langley's first significant public singing experience came at the age of eight in her church . She credits her parents with being supportive of her many diverse interests . "They were the type of parents who would encourage me to do anything and ev-

erything/' Langley said .

London and the law Off campus, Langley has worked as a legal assistant at the Stamford-based law firm of Cummings and Lockwood since her senio r year of high school. Th is hands-on legal experience was a key factor in Langley' s decision to study abroad in Trinity's program associated with the London School of Economics . While in London as a junior, she enrolled in three law courses and served in an intensive internship with a criminal defense barri ster . Her work allowed her entry into chambers closed to the genera l public and added an important new dimension to her education in legal affa irs . As far away from Tr inity as she was while in England, Langley was reminded of the College in sometimes remarkable ways . When riding in " the tube" one day, an apparent stranger noticed Langley reading The Trinity Tripod and proceeded to introduce herself as Felice Hawley '80, a news pro-

ducer at CNN in London . "That's a contact that I made just by reading The Tripod in another country /' she joked . Langley said it took a semester abroad for her to appreciate the level of technology at Trinity. " I came home and hugged my computer/ ' she said , expl a ining that she had to write all her papers longhand while she was abroad . "Trinity' s technology definitely enhances education , but you don ' t fully appreciate this advantage until you are away from it/' Langley said . " It takes longer to learn something when you don ' t have resources like we do at Trin路 ity ." For her her senior honors thesis she researched the civil rights impl ications of female genita l mutilation in Africa. "This practice in itself shows that women still have a long way to go in the human rights arena/' she asserts. After pursuing a career in law, she hopes someday to become a congresswoman .

-Michael Bradley '98

Jonathan A. Epstein '97

Learning the lessons of â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ campa1gn1ng and winning

taying focused on a candidate's message, or being "on message," is essential in political fund raising and campaigning, says senior Jonathan A. Epstein , with no small degree of authority. His service of eight months as a deputy director in finance for a successful 1996 U.S. Senate election campaign earned Epstein the distinction of being one of the youngest people ever to serve in such an important political position. Not only does he have on his resume the impressive credential of working on the election campaign of U.S. Sen . Max Cleland (D-GA), but also he is in the enviable position of having a job in Washington, DC. "The most valuable th ing I learned from the campaign is the importance of the message. You have to s.tay on that message, tota lly focus on it. You cannot

get off on tangents," says Epstein.

A mind-altering book The experience was "unbelievable," he recalls . Epstein earned academic credit for an internship and worked in Atlanta as one of 20 paid staff members for Sen . Cleland's election campaign from May until December 1996. Ultimately, the economics major became responsible for writing fund-ra ising letters, organizing fundraisers , and overseeing the phone bank of vo lunteers . Knowing th e backgrounds of potential campaign contributors and coaching Sen. Cleland in his telephone fund-raising efforts were also part of the job. "Many times we'd get into arguments," Epstein said. "I'd tell Max, 'You're not saying the right thing . You're not on message. You're talking about foreign relations. We are on the message of hope, change, and opportunities for Georgians .' "I didn't know a lick about finance and fund raising," says Epstein who had some initial reservations about working in that capacity for Cleland. His reluctance turned into enthusiasm after he read

Epstein, right, with Sen. Max Cleland

Cleland's autobiography,

Strong at the Broken Places. "I read the book in a day. It was the most incredible story in the entire world!" Epstein exclaims . Cleland, a Georgia native who was seriously wounded in Vietnam and is confined to a wheelchair, returned home, won election to the Georgia Senate, and headed the United States Veterans Administration under President Jimmy Carter before serving as Georgia's secretary of state. In an election where 2 . 1 million votes were cast, Cleland won the race by a margin of fewer than 28,000 and became the first Southern Democrat to win an open Senate seat since 1986. Epstein is effusive in his praise of him . "He knows he's strong enough, he knows he's smart enough, and he knows he's good enough to get by without legs and a right arm . His virtue and value are 10 times greater than those of most men I've met." The senator returns his former deputy's praise . "Jonathan was a tremendous asset to my Senate campaign team . He played a pivotal role in our fundraising efforts and ultimately in winning the race, and in the process we also became close friends . He's a great writer and an outgoing, confident young man," Sen. Cleland said . Epstein ' s involvement in politics began in 1995 when he served a summer internship with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) , a special-interest group based in Washington, DC that works to strengthen the relationship between the United States and Israel. While there, he worked with the group's lobbyists and followed issues such as foreign aid and sanctions agajnst Iran . Impressed with his work,

AIPAC named Epstein to its executive committee, which required him to travel to Washington several times to talk personally to members of Congress on issues that affected the organization.

Working in the capital "All fired up" after his internship, Epstein returned to Trinity for his sophomore year, formed the Trinity Israel Public Affairs Committee, and sought a paid position working in a senatorial election campaign. Based on the recommendations of AIPAC and President Evan S. Dobelle (who served in the Carter Administration and got to know Cleland during their tenure together in Washington), the Trinity student and Alabama resident was hired by Cleland. Among the highlights of his campaign experience was a Cleland rally he arranged with the Georgia State Democratic Party at the University of Georgia with less than 24 hours' notice and featuring former presidential adviser George Stephanopoulos. The rally was attended by 800 people . After graduation, Epstein began work as a political analyst with AIPAC. Epstein is enthused about working in Washington, knowing that he is at the hub of the country's political activity. As enthused as he is about politics and campaigning, however, he professes to have no intention of running for office himself. "I like being the man behind the candidate," he claims . " There are some great people out there who don't realize how good they'd be in an office . I'd love to help shape and mold them and be the guy helping to get them elected .

Nathaniel W. MacDonald 1 97 10

rinity's Long Walk, imbued with the College's traditions and history, is a n unforgettable image to most people. But to engineering major Nathaniel (Nate) W . MacDonald '97, something was missing from this otherwise pictureperfect collegiate scene: the regular sound of peal-

ing bells . MacDonald had heard the bells on Wednesdays when College Carillonneur Dan iel Kehoe 78 practiced and performed, but it was much too infrequent an occurrence for him. MacDonald was inspired to remedy this situation : for his senior engineering design project, he created the mechanical, electrical, and computer systems necessary to cue the playing of the

largely silent Chapel bells. Thanks to his ingenuity, the bells will automatically chime on the hour and will eventually play the alma mater, "'Neath the Elms." His first encounter with the Chapel bells came in the fall of 1994. It was then , following an "U ltimate Frisbee" practice, that he entered the Chapel and climbed the 11 0 steps of the spiral staircase to the Plumb Memorial Caril-

lon . A student of piano for nine years, MacDonald sat down at the carillon's keyboard and pressed down on the wooden batons that control the bells. Upon hearing their peal he stopped . "It felt empowering," he recalls . But despite his musical training, he found the carillon difficult to master. " I tried playing the carillon my sophomore year, but I never got a song down well enough. I was kind of frustrated ." Fate seemed to intervene during his junior year. While studying engineering and economics as an exchange student at Dartmouth College, MacDonald met a student who had devised a system for Dartmouth ' s chapel bells that allowed them to be rung thro ugh the use of a keyboard . His curiosity piqued, MacDonald researched ways of au tomating Trinity's bells, devised a plan, received approval for the project from Assistant Professor of Engineering John D. Mertens and the support of Carillonneur Kehoe, and began working on the project in October 1996. At President Evan S. Dobelle' s suggestion , the scope of the project was

China; laboratory tours; and demonstrations of student work in engineering. Other events and archival activities are currently being planned for the 1997-98 academic year.

100 Years of Engineering. Among Trinity's many distinctions, the College is one of only two leading liberal arts colleges in the nation whose bachelor of science in engineering degree enjoys full professional certification by the national Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology. Engineering has long been an important component of Trinity's educational excellence - for 100 years, in fact. In honor of that century of educational excellence the College is planning a yearlong celebration.

l 00 Moments of Engineering. The marketing and public relations office is developing a booklet commemorating and celebrating the history of engineering at Trinity. This publication will feature "100 Engineering Moments," if there is sufficient support and input from alumni. Engineering alums are invited and encouraged to write a brief paragraph describing a defining moment or significant event that occurred during their undergraduate studies or professional engineering careers. The "moments" can be recollections of significant firsts, learning discoveries, interesting classroom or lab happenings, ideas that helped solve professional problems, or any other "moment" that could help establish the history or value of engineering education at Trinity. Please send your contributions to Mark McLaughlin, Director of Marketing and Communications, Trinity College, 300 Summit Street, Hartford, CT, 06106 or e-mail to Mark.McLaughlin@.trincoll.edu by August 8.

Officially kicking off the centennial celebration will be a Century ofEngineering Convocation. Held on Homecoming Weekend, Novemb er 6-8, 1997, the convocation will feature a keynote address by George B ugliarello, President of Polytechnic University; the conferring of honorary degrees; a banquet for alumni and friends; a time-capsule ceremony; a public lecture and panel discussion about engineering and technology in

How the bells toll

ust how does one go about automating bells that range from 5,600 pounds in weight and 5 1/3 feet in diameter to 919 pounds in weight and 2 feet and 11 inches in diameter? Very carefully is the obvious and accurate answer. For his senior engineering project, Nathaniel (Nate) W. MacDonald's challenge was to devise a method in which Trinity's Chapel bells could be mechanically rung while not interfering with the Carillon's normal manual operation . What he produced is a computer-controlled electromechanical system that rings the bells through a clapper counterweight system driven by parallel solenoids . In simpler terms, MacDonald's system uses a solenoid to pull an external clapper into a bell to ring it. A counter-weight then returns the clapper to its original position, in preparation for the next strike. This clapper system is connected to and controlled by a Macintosh computer located in the Chapel. By using the computer language "LabView," which is more commonly used for controlling engineering instruments, the bells can be programmed to ring at predetermined times .

expanded from MacDonald 's original plan to automate five bells to a grander scheme encompassing 12 of the Chapel's 49 bells; this would allow the alma mater to be played . To MacDonald, the project has been a labor of love, hindered only by technical challenges. His accomplishment is particularly impressive in light of his personal struggle of many years' duration to overcome dyslexia and an audi-

tory disability. "When I was in kindergarten, a teacher told my parents that I would never graduate from high school," MacDonald reca lls. The Lexington, MA native attended the Carroll School in Linco ln , MA, whiCh specializes in educating studen ts wi th dyslexia, and the Fenn School in Concord, which also has a special education program, before graduating from Buckingham, Brown and

Nichols School in Cambridg-e, MA. He enrolled at Trinity because the engineering deportment was "smal l, good, flexible, and personal. "I have done everything," he says, "from taping my classes and then taking notes from the tape afterwards, to bringing my laptop computer to class. Trinity has been really supportive in mqny ways, such as providing me with tutoring . Often I just needed more time to get an assignment done or take an exam," he comments. "I may not have top grades, but as far as I'm concerned, I've excelled,"says MacDonald . Initially des igned for oneyear' s duration, the bell project, once expanded, required that MacDonald create a team to work on it and extend its timetable . Mechanical engineering major Thomas H. Back '98 assisted MacDonald this year and will head the effort next year, installing the structural supports and mechanical and electrical systems needed to automate the remaining 1 1 bells. He will use its completion as the basis of his senior project. Jasper HoweMcCarty '99 and Andrew S. Malick '00 also have participated in the project, as did Yolande Tomlinson, a junior at Hartford's Weaver High School. Tomlinson is a participant in the United Technologies/ Trinity College Engineering Initiative, a two-year-old program designed to encourage young women and minorities to study science and engineering and pursue careers in engineering . By this summer, the car illon 's largest bell, the 5,600-pound Bourdon bell, will be fully automated and ring on the hour. When the other 11 bells are fully automated by the spring of 1998, an hourly chime as well as '"Neath the Elms"

will be played . The system will also allow the bells to sound not only at a pre~e足 termined time, but also at varying volumes, distinguishing it from automation systems marketed commercially. "I've never had a student take on such an ambitious project and req uire less supervision," says Professor Mertens, MacDonald's adviser. "What's also unusua l is the amount of effort Nate's put into the project. He has worked 40 hours a week on it. He's very enthusiastic, organized, and professional. We have other students doing good and interesting projects, but this one is special, " he says. MacDonald, who won the Travelers Engineering Senior Design Project Competition and a $13,000 grant from the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance, is thri lled that the project is moving forward. He especially likes thinking about the legacy he will be leaving behind for others to enjoy. "A couple of weeks before Christmas Trinity will be able to program the system to play 'Let It Snow' or, to play "Neath the Elms' every hour for Homecoming or Reunion," he notes with excitement and pride . With his degree in hand and the automation project on schedule, MacDonald has traded his lofty chapel perch for the mountains of Chile, where he is now skiing with a friend from high school. He plans to tour South America for six months before assuming an engineering position with Andersen Consulting in San Francisco in January 1998 . His senior project is one he looks back on with satisfaction . "There is nothing more inspiring than walking down the Long Walk and hearing the bells chime," MacDonald observes.

TEACHING

istening is key to Associate Professor of Music Douglas Johnson. The composer, violinist, and conductor says listening is not only important in learning to appreciate music, but also in performing and creating it. "Composing," he contends, "is listening into the future of an idea. It's listening to what's there and listening to what might come after it in your mind," he says. "Really good listening is tantamount

EXCELLENCE

to really fine playing. It is a kind of interior playing of the piece." Johnson came to Trinity nine years ago from his native California to teach composition and music theory, and to develop group music-making opportunities for Trinity instrumentalists. In that time he has earned the respect of his students and colleagues alike for his musical versatility, enthusiasm, and his creative

pedagogical skills. "He has an unquenchable enthusiasm and love for music and for sharing it," says his colleague, Professor of Music John Platoff. "He's a fine conductor and keyboardist; he sings, substitutes as a violinist in the Hartford Symphony, and knows an immense amount of music. As a teacher, he's able to figure out what a student wants to do and help him or her do it. He's just remarkable!"

All of music's relationships in the scale To create th eir own m usic, stu dents in J ohnson's composition classes p erform exercises that allow them to "listen into" musical struc:tures that are often taken for granted . "We think of th e scale as going from do to do. It's a list and that's all. But actually, emb edded in th e scale are all the relationships of m usic. I teach the scale as if it were a physical space in which you move. T h ere are almost magn etic attractions in parts of th ose spaces. I invite my students to start at any degree of th e scale and go down or up and have that part of the scale fi rmly in their minds. T here's a sense of energy that can add up into this enormous, big pull into a climactic moment in a piece," J ohnson says. He also gives his students composition al problems to solve and, throu gh these exercises, a " toolbox" of solutions to use, su ch as discerning w h en a musical phrase is completed. Johnson, w h o points to several generations of professional musicians on both sides of his family, studied composition at th e M usikhochschule in Vienna for two years b efore earning his master's and doctoral degrees in comp osition from the U niversity of California at Berkeley. He b ecame a church organist at the age of 16, a choirmaster sh ortly thereafter, and worked as a free-lance musician in California fo r 14 years before joining Trinity's faculty. H e has composed pieces for orchestra, chorus, chamb er m usic, and virtu oso solo performers. T his spring, the Berlin Saxophone Quartet

TEACHERS

gave th e premiere performance of a n ew ] ohnson piece at th e O ld State H ouse as part ofTrinity's "First T hursday" perform ance series there. Currently, the comp oser is at work on songs, a string qu artet, and an opera. Johnson does not restrict his comp osing to m usic alone. Several times a year, h e h osts lunch es and dinners for students and former students at his home in Hartford's South End where h e indulges his love of cooking, "composes" a m eal, and talks about music in a more relaxed setting.

An awe close to worship Exposure to th e rudiments of the craft and of composition enhan ces stu dents' appreciation of all music, J ohnson b elieves. " It creates downright awe that is close to worship w h en you 've tried to comp ose som ething yourself and then you en counter a really wellmade piece from any tradition. A b eautiful Duke Ellington tune can h ave the same aesthetic impact as a fugue of Bach or a modest little miniature by Debussy: you listen to any one of them and think, 'h ow could anyon e do that?' It's so perfec t. " Stu dents in J ohnson's classes develop th eir own m usical ideas in to compositions and sim ultaneously gain new appreciation for music. Elizab eth J oyce '99, a student in Trinity's Individualized D egree Program and an organist who has already had a career as an attorney, is a music and religion maj or. Sh e departed from conventional harmony and comp osed a piece fo r

trump et and organ using th e more dissonant quartal harmony, then performed it in the Comp osers' Seminar Concert last year. "I've done a lot of performing in church and h ave made presentations as a lawyer. But p erforming th at piece was even more exciting. It was min d-b oggling, " sh e remembers. M usic m aj or Stuart Wolferman '97 plays piano, sings, is director of the student group The Accidentals, and is president ofThe C h ap el Singers. "Professor Johnson makes you understand th e rules in classical m usic and what those rules have to do w ith

modern music and j azz. There are a lot of exceptions to the rules, but you 've got to know the rules. He's really energetic and h e makes you like w hat you're doIng." For J ohnson teaching is th e instrument for conveying wh at is the passion of his life. " I teach music as a healing art, something th at has the p ower to inform your life, for as long as you live, providing marvelous perspectives on time, and relationship, and sense of being in a p lace, " he ob- . serves. "For me, music is good for getting deeper, better, m ore hmnan."

Two faculty recognized for outstanding teaching At Honors Day ceremonies in May, announcement was made of the 1997 winners of The Dean Arthur H. Hughes Award for Achievement in Teaching. They are associate professors Ronald R. Thomas of English and Kathleen A. Curran of fine arts. The Hughes Award, a gift of former President and Trustee of Trinity, G. Keith Funston '32, is named in honor of Arthur Hughes, who in his 36-year career at Trinity, served as professor of German, chairman of the department of modern languages, dean of the college, dean of the faculty, and, on two occasions, acting president. The award recognizes outstanding teaching by faculty with no more than nine years of service to the College. Thomas, presently the chair of the English department, joined the Trinity faculty in 1990. Prior to this, he was assistant professor of English at the University of Chicago from 1982-90. He received his B.A. degree in English literature from Wheaton College and M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in English and American literature from Brandeis University. His book, Dreams of Authority: Freud and the Fictions of the Unconscious (Cornell University Press,

1990), is an analysis of the strategies of dream interpretation developed in the Victorian novel and their relation to Victorian culture and to narrative and psychoanalytic theory. An architectural historian, Curran joined the Trinity faculty six years ago. Prior to this, she was an assistant professor of art at Brown University, served as a research associate at the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, and was director of a project on the computerization of the list of buildings cited in the National Register of Historic Places. She has just completed a book-length manuscript on the Romanesque Revival in Germany, England, and the United States. She also was recently selected to serve as an associate editor of the Buildings of the United States series by the Society of Architectural Historians. This will be a state-by-state survey that records and illustrates the architecture of the urban, suburban, and rural United States.

Applying research to real-world issues

oreen Channels T

wo distinctly different photographs hanging in Noreen Channels' otherwise book-lined office mirror the different dimensions and interests of the professor of sociology. In one, a solitary woman sits on the front porch of her log home and stares squarely at the _camera. In the other, dozens of women pose at a Massachusetts League ofWomen Voters convention in Holyoke in 1929. Both photographs intrigue Channels. But her gaze usually stops at the group photograph. Groups of people, she says, hold the key to identifying and remedying the social problems that affect individuals. "I do like the big picture. Because social structure affects so many people, it's really the best way to explain how societies work and what's happening in the lives of a group of people. It's the most effective way to explain our environment and effect change," she said. When Channels joined the faculty in 1972, the social turbulence of the period made it "a wonderful time to teach sociology." Today's students are likewise interested in understanding social issues, she says.

Her students' interest pleases her, because to Channels sociology means traveling beyond pure theory and applying the results of research to realworld problems. This is a belief she has not only preached but also practiced.

Getting her mind around Hartford "I've always, always been interested in how social science research is useful to non-scientists, to community people, and to decision makers,"

BY SuzANNE ZACK

Channels noted. Over the past 25 years she has applied her research expertise to Hartford issues such as housing preferences, police counseling of rape victims, the contributions of the city's work force to its economy. Hartford's unique character has been conducive to her work. "I like Hartford very much. It's a size that you can understand. You can know the players and understand what's going on. To me, it has all the advantages of a large urban area, all the problems and the strengths, but you can get your mind around it," she observed. Channels' students also have the opportunity to "get their minds around" Hartford. For example, this year two of her students studied parole violation trends for the Connecticut Department ofParole to determine whether there are certain "vulnerable" periods when parole is violated more frequently than other times. "Students do very interesting and useful work," Channels said. The methodology behind such work has held Chaimels' interest throughout her career. Author of Social Science

Methods in the Legal Process, the Michigan native still teaches "Research Methods in Social Science," a course which she taught when she began at Trinity. Now the department chair, she sees this co"urse as the foundation for social science inquiry and a boon for students' critical thinking skills. "Instead of being part of the process of a course, critical thinking is the substance. Knowing how to evaluate information and generate information that is reliable is essential," she remarked.

Trinity Center for Neighborhoods Three years ago, Channels was named a research coordinator to the Trinity Center for Neighborhoods (TCN), a community-based, BUDfunded initiative which gives community organizations additional tools and resources with which to address urban issues. As a research coordinator, she matches requests for help from community groups with the expertise of Trinity faculty. Channels' latest TCN project involves surveying the health-care needs of 5,000 disabled people for the Connecticut Union ofDisability Action Groups . She is well suited for her role with TCN, according to one TCN staff member. "She listens to people in the community and works with them to resolve their questions and their issues. People get the feeling that this is not a laboratory experiment. She's involved in it," says Alta Lash, technical assistant for United Connecticut Action for Neighborhoods, a TCN affiliate.

Getting to the heart of a problem Channels' students concur with Lash. Margaret Modzelewski '97, a sociology major who was a teaching assistant for the research methods class, says, "She's encouraging, organized, and really motivating. It's been a wonderful experience to work with her." Channels advised sociology major Michelle Buckley '97 on her senior thesis, in which she examined the disparity between the sentencing of crack users and the sentencing of cocaine users in New York state. "Professor Channels is very good at applying research to real problems. Because of that, she's given me a whole new idea of what sociology is," commented Buckley. "She's been great!" Stephen M. Valocchi, associate professor of sociology, says of his colleague, "She has a real talent for getting to the heart of a problem, whether it be sociological or a departmental issue ~ or a problem or issue with a student. With Noreen, the commitment to research is simultaneously a commitment to the community and the people who live in the community." And as much as Channels praises the benefits of a broad social perspective, it has been Trinity's small size that has proved most rewarding in her teaching. "At the beginning of each semester, I like that I always already know a number of students in each class. I've either already had the students in class or talked to them in my office," she explains. "I really enjoy that aspect of teaching at Trinity."

In 1979- 80 he had been a visiting lecturer at Harvard University's Center for International Affairs. His Trinity course started out with a modest enrollment of traditional Trinity undergraduates and others from the College and beyond, but

His military service began in the 1930s when, as a teenager, he served in "Hagana," the Jewish underground defense organization. In World War II he joined the British army to fight the Nazis, serving in the Middle East, Western Desert,

in the resettlement effort, serving for four years as Levi Eshkol's right-hand man. Eshkol, who was to become Israel's second prime minister, was at that time in charge of settling the thousands of new immigrants arriving daily in the newly established Jewish state.

"I was capti- 路 vated by the very skillful way in which he weaves autobiography with some of the major historical events of this century: the Holocaust, displaced persons, the founding of the state of Israel, the awakening of the peace process, the Soviet Union's making contact with Russian Jews, his work as head of rehabilitation missions after earthquakes in Iran and Nicaragua, and his town planning activities. He has been involved personally in so many important events in our , century. Eliav, affectionately called "Lova" (which means "the little lion " in Russian) by all who know him, was born in

From 1945-47, he served in an "illegal" immigration operation of the Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency, organizing refugee embarkation camps in Europe and commanding blockade-running shiJ?S that brought 1,000 Holocaust survivors to Palestine; it was on one of these journeys that he met his Lithuanian-born wife, Tania. He was a lieutenantcolonel in the newly formed Israel Defense Forces in the 1948- 49 War oflndependence, and in 1956 he commanded a combined air and sea rescue operation to save Jews ofPort Said, Egypt, during the Sinai Campaign. In 1949 he began working

ment Project in southern Israel, Eliav worked on the planning and building of 50 villages and a town. In the 1960s he directed the planning and construction of a new city overlooking the Dead Sea. From 1958 to 1960 he was the first secretary of the Israeli embassy in Moscow, where he looked into the plight of Soviet Jews. Along the way, Eliav found the time to write 13 books. One, New Heart, New Spirit: Biblical Humanism for Modern. Israel, caused no small stir when it appeared in Israel in 1986, according to Mark Silk, director ofTrinity's Center for the Study ofReligion in Public Life.

Eliav's calls for peace and new perspective on Israel's conflicts alienated him from Israel's leaders, especially Golda Meir.

"This book represents an attack on those in Israel who have sought to use the Bible as justification for military expansionism and subjugation of the Palestinian people," says Silk. "It seeks, eloquently, to highlight the Biblical values of the sanctity of life, justice, freedom, equality, brotherhood, mercy, and peace. Only if these values prevail, the book claims, can Israel survive as the spiritual center of the Jewish people and 'a light unto nations."' Eliav's calls for peace and

new perspective on Israel's conflicts alienated him from Israel's leaders, especially Prime Minister Golda Meir, and resulted in his spending years in the political desert, a voice stilled by a dissenting majority. After the Six Day War in 1967, he was the first Israeli official to advocate returning land to the Arabs, a statement which cost him his government position. Decades of experience have demonstrated his prescient wisdom; but, as the veteran of seven wars' service, he has borne unwitting witness to the need for peace.

Rabin paid with his life, assassinated by Jewish extremists. .~.~The road to make peace between enemies is very dangerous."

18 Eliav says, with no hesitation, "teacher." Those who watched him in the classroom know this. Well before the start of every seminar, he would be there, carefully arranging the materials for his class and re-checking the photographs and illustrations that would accompany the lecture. The pictures were from his personal collection, but could just as easily have come from newspaper front pages: vignettes of the 20th century, frozen in the frame, where a visit by Eleanor Roosevelt or meeting with Anwar Sadat was preserved. Always on these occasions before class Eliav appeared to be lost in thought, immersed not only in the mechanics of preparing for class, but also readying his mind and his' memories for the lecture that would follow. But, if a student came to him with a question or comment, he would stop what he was doing, place a friendly hand on the shoulder, and focus his

intensely sharp eyes on that encounter. Dean Spencer, who missed only one class, and that very reluctantly, calls Eliav "a born oral historian ... He loves to tell stories. The memories came from him with a kind of freshness, as if he were telling them for the first time. "He talked about having had contact with every quarter of the 20th century," Spencer says . "I remember the wonderful irony of his mother having lived in Russia in the same building with Boris Pasternak and how he knew a lot about that from his mother's memories ... his family's bourgeois and Zionist experiences. It seems to me that what he gave us was a gripping autobiographical account of larger historical processes." While Eliav was at Trinity, his attention was focused on the present as well as on the vivid and well-remembered past. He was an active participant in the current discussions

on campus about the various neighborhood initiatives and the master planning process for the campus . The campus planners valued the expertise and perspective he brought as one who planned and constructed 50 villages and a new city in Israel. "He remains curious and interested in the rest of the world and indeed in Trinity," says Mark Silk. "As a city planner he has taken a real interest in the urban initiatives of the College. He has his own ideas about them and participated fully in the discussion." Because ofEliav's presence on campus , a special lecture series with distinguished experts on Israel had greater depth and relevance. The series, "Religion and Civil Society in the Middle East," was sponsored by Trinity's Center for the Study of Religion in Public Life. Eliav delivered the first lecture in the

series, "Updating the Secularist Vision of the Zionist Founders." At the end of the semester in May, the prized possessions the 75-year-old took back to Israel - to the house in Tel Aviv where he has lived since the age of three - were pictures that he asked be taken of his friends at Trinity, students, and other members of the Trinity and Hartford communities. After the last class meeting, he was presented with a poster of Trinity with his students' signatures and best wishes. Eliav is home now, but fond n1.emories of him abound on campus. "There was just something unbelievably special," Silk reflected, "about having in our midst the founder of a country, an extraordinary p~rson, someone who has been able to sustain the humanity and curiosity that animated him from the beginning."

Views and opinions from one of Trinity's teachers

Is the press biased against religion? The answers hold surprises B Y MARK SILK

Director, Center for the Study of Religion in Public Life

ince the presidency of Jimmy Carter, Americans have come to believe that the country's news media are hostile to religion. This conviction is embraced most fervently by the evangelical Protestants of the Christian right, for whom it is virtually an article of faith that journalists, a.k.a. the "liberal media," are the enemy. But surveys have shown that the public at large, regardless of religious or political persuasion, believes the media possess a secularist bias against the sacred. Is this true? The best evidence on the affirmative side is Robert Lichter's and Stanley Rothman's 1980 study of the " media elite," 240 print and broadcast journalists working for The New York Times, The Washington Post, the news weeklies, television networks, and PBS. A "predominant characteristic" of this elite, Lichter and Rothman found, was its "secular outlook." Yet efforts to demonstrate that this outlook has translated into anti-religious news coverage have not been convincing. And when the field of vision is broadened beyond the alleged elite, journalists turn out to be just as religiously committed as the American population at large - pretty committed, in other words. Systematic analysis of religion coverage in the print media shows that for every "bad" story about religious institutions and individuals, there are many detailing the good things they do for their communities and the world at large . But it is a fact that religion has produced a lot of bad, or at least controversial, news over the past 20 years . With the rise of militant Islam and Hinduism, the emergence of new religious movements ("cults"), the political alliance of conservative Christians and Republicans, the "televangelist scandals" of the late 1980s,

the priest-pedophile revelations of the past decade, ongoing battles over abortion and homosexuality and prayer in public schools, it is no wonder that the media messengers have come to be blamed for some deeply troubling messages. Indeed, not since the decade before the Civil War, when abolitionism and anti-Catholicism dominated much of public discourse, has religion been so contentious a force in American society. How have the media done in covering these diverse and complicated issues? As in most areas where substantive expertise is needed, not well enough . Too often, coverage falls into conventionalized story types that fail to do justice to the story in questi<;m. And over the past few years, journalists have become convinced that they need to do better by religion. Last February, the Ethics and Public Policy Center, a conservative Washington think tank, had its biggest media turnout ever for a daylong panel discussion on the coverage of religion in politics . In April our Center for the Study of

Religion in Public Life held a workshop for journalists on religion in contemporary society that attracted editors from The New York Times, CBS News, Newsday, CNN, National Public Radio, The Boston Globe, and New York Daily News . More generally, newspapers across the country have been rushing to beef up their religion coverage, generally with expanded Saturday "Faith and Values" sections. In 1996, the Religion Newswriters Association, the organization of journalists who spend their time handling religion for the secular press, saw its membership jump 25 percent. This flurry of journalistic enthusiasm in part reflects the concern for declining readership that has been a major obsession of the newspaper industry for the past decade. At this year's meeting of the American Society of Newspaper Editors, Sandra Mims Rowe, the editor of The Portland Oregonian and the new president of the American Society of Newspaper Editors, asserted that what newspapers need to do to strengthen circulation is devote more columns to "ethics, religion, health, life." And she may be on to something. Newsweek has found that in the last couple of years, religion cover stories have gone from being solid newsstand performers to far and away the best-selling issues it puts out. That's why the magazine did two consecutive covers on the Heaven's Gate story. This kind of public appetite for religion coverage suggests that there may be something going on out there beyond mere media churning. It suggests that we may be in the midst of one of those religious "awakenings" that has swept through American society every other generation since the 1720s. These are not simple phenomena, however, and thus far the jury is still out. In the meantime, you can expect to see more and more religion in the news, for better and for worse .

Along TRINITY COLLEGE

Strategic planning eHort launched

n May, President Dobelle announced the establishment of a Priorities and Planning Council (PPC), whose first task will be to launch and oversee a comprehensive strategic planning effort. "This initial charge will mean the integration of academic planning and other elements of institutional strategic planning, notably the campus plan currently under development by the master planning team retained by the Trustees, the neighborhood revitalization plan, and various functional/ operating plans to be developed by my direct staff," he explained in a letter to faculty and staff. "Successful movement in all these areas will be essential to achieve our longterm vision ofleadership for Trinity. This vital integration, requiring the establishment and balancing of priorities, will be the primary focus of the PPC." The PPC will function as the College's key structure for strategic decision-making. Even after an updated strategic plan for Trinity is developed and adopted, Dobelle explained, the Council will continue to function as the College body that addresses significant issues affecting the institution as a whole. "Establishment of the PPC initiates a more formal process for strategic planning at Trinity College - one that will enable the sort of integration which, I think it is fair to say, has not been characteristic of past planning efforts," wrote Do belle.

the Walk Leaders of the process Dean of the Faculty Raymond Baker, as the chief academic officer for the College, will play a central and lead role in the College's overall planning process, "particularly in view of his leadership in developing the faculty's academic vision for Trinity's future- the starting point for our planning efforts," said Dobelle. Dean Baker will be the de facto leader of the PPC and will chair meetings of the council in President Dobelle's absence. "He also will ensure that on matters affecting the core identity and mission of Trinity College- i.e., all academic matters - the planning process remains facultyled. This is critical," said Dobelle. "Raymond will continue his efforts to promote the ongoing dialogue and debate within the faculty on key issues affecting Trinity's future. These discussions have informed our thinking already and should continue to do so as the strategic planning process intensifies." Dobelle also announced that Linda Campanella, vice president for marketing and public relations, will be the focal point on the PPC for administrative, non-instructional issues. "In addition, I have asked Linda, who has considerable prior experience in strategic planning, to support the central work of the PPC and report to me in an expanded role as the senior administrative officer responsible for institutional planning. Working in accordance with guidelines set by the

Linda Campanella and Raymond Baker compare notes as they prepare for the kickoff meeting of the Priorities and Planning Council.

PPC, Linda will be responsible for coordination and facilitation of planning activities on a day-to-day basis." For the foreseeable future, Campanella will rem.ain responsible as well for the marketing and public relations functions. In executing her new planning role, however, "she will take a broad institutional perspective," explained Dobelle. "As we take decisive steps to position Trinity as a leader in liberal arts education for the next century, it is more important now than ever that our public relations be driven by the College's academic vision and plans for the future - and not vice versa."

Broad representation There will be seven administrators and seven faculty members on the Priorities and Planning Council. Dean Baker will draw faculty members from a Dean's Advisory Council that will consist of three members chosen (one each) by the Educational Policy Committee, the Curriculum Committee, and Fac-

ulty Conference from their respective memberships, with the balance of advisory council members appointed by the Dean. Senior administrators will be appointed to the PPC by Campanella. In announcing the PPC, Dobelle noted that this new council will not replace current governance structures or processes but rather will provide a focused and centralized structure for strategic decision-making on issues that affect the College as a whole. Decisions on specific academic matters will be left, as appropriate, to traditional forms of faculty governance. Dobelle indicated there likely will be several nonvoting ex officio members of the PPC, such as the president of the SGA and representatives of the alumni body, trustees, and community, who would be appointed in order to infuse perspectives other than those of the faculty and administration. The PPC will launch several separate Strategic Planning Teams and quite a few

Critical Issues Teams, setting in motion a comprehensive update of the College's strategic plan. These working groups will be composed of both administrators and faculty, although the balance of each will differ by committee, to reflect the focus of emphasis. The PPC will set priorities and guidelines for the plan, while the bulk of the planning work will be done by the teams, whose strategies and plans will be presented to the council for review and approval. The task of assessing and then integrating the various inputs into a coherent and cohesive plan for Trinity's future will fall to the PPC.

Open process "My goal is that an updated strategic plan be submitted to the Board of Trustees for discussion next March and adopted formally by the Board in May 1998," said Dobelle. "The March target is important, as it establishes a link between the strategic plan and our budget cycle. A strategic vision without an associated budget and timetables will gather dust; our plan will be the basis for action and implementation." In his communication to the campus conm1unity, President Dobelle stressed that the PPC represents an important new body which "must not and will not conduct strategic planning under a veil of secrecy." The process must be open, he said, and it must fully support "my resolute commitment to faculty-led academic planning at Trinity College." He also emphasized that the PPC will

"promote an important new partnership between the academic and administrative realms and afford Trinity's faculty an unprecedented opportunity to be involved centrally in overall planning for the College's future."

Admissions numbers make the record books

or Trinity's admissions effort, this was another record year. According to Christopher Small, vice president for enrollment management, preliminary statistics for the Class of2001 show an impressive 81 percent increase in minority student enrollment and significant depth and quality in the incoming class overall. As ofJune 3, there were 537 students enrolled in Trinity's first class to graduate in the 21st century. A record 4,100 applications were received for this year's class, Small says, for an increase of 35 percent in just two years. "Two clear, positive outcomes of the increased applications," he says, "are an increase in the quality of the class, as measured by standard admissions measuring sticks, and the significant increase in minority student enrollment. These are preliminary numbers, of course. We won't have final numbers until the class is fully in residence in late August. "Nonetheless, the figure for applications, up this year over last, is conclusive. So are Early Decision numbers, which increased by 25 percent and are

up over 60 percent relative to two years ago. Alumni children in the class number 32, a 14 percent increase over last year. "Several things have been working in our favor," says Small of the year's exceptional results . "Specifically, I would point to the new excitement that has come to Trinity as a result of President Dobelle's initiatives, the exceptional job done by the public relations office in keeping Trinity on the front pages, and the great work of Larry Dow '73 in his first year as director of admissions. The alumni admissions volunteers, and their coordinator in our office, Mary Whalen, continue to play an important role in our success. Additionally, I think that there is perhaps increased interest in studying in an urban location. And, we have developed a more aggressive personalized recruitment program that was successfully carried out by a dedicated admissions staff. Given all this, as well as a little luck, we had to be successful."

Three begin terms on the Board of Trustees

n May, three appointments to Trinity's Board ofTrustees were announced. A new alumni trustee, MargaretMary ("Tami") Voudouris Preston '79, chosen by vote of the alumni in the spring election, began serving a sixyear term. Thomas R. DiBenedetto '71 was named charter trustee, returning to the Board after a two-year

!rust, and has been a member ofTrinity's Board of Fellows. DiBenedetto graduated with a B.A. in economics and then earned an M.B.A. degree from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. He began his professional career with Morgan Stanley Realty and then joined Salomon Brothers investment firm. He served as vice president of Allen & Company before founding his own real estate firm, Olympic Partners, and the investment firm of Boston International Group. Currently he serves as president of Junction Investors, Ltd. In 1977 he and several other individuals successfully bid to acquire the Boston Red Sox, an interest which he maintains today. An active volunteer for Trinity, he has worked on programs of the New York and Boston clubs, served the development office as a class agent and Long Walk Societies volunteer, worked on reunion committees, and served a term as an alumni trustee. Halpern is known as "the consummate alumni volunteer." An art history major, she was elected class president and to the Student Government Association. As a senior she received a Senior Achievement Award. After graduation and relocation to New York, where she is now private dining manager for the Lotus Club, Halpern accepted key roles in the Young Alumni program as well as the New York Phonathon, the Admissions Support Group, and the Career Advisor Program. Subsequently, thereafter, she joined the Executive Committee of the New York Club, and she is now the club's president. Halpern has also worked on her class reunion and gift co1ru11ittees.

FiHing the campus puzzle pieces together The questions are interesting) the answers ciften complex BY ALDEN

Director of Planning for Capital Projects and Gwendolyn Miles Smith Professor of Art History (and chair of the Trinity Master Plan Task Force)

n May 15, four months and 109 meetings into a five-month planning process, the distinguished team of architects and planners retained by Trinity in January to develop a strategic campus master plan presented a variety of options for the future of the campus. Listening to the presentation in McCook Auditorium was a packed house of faculty, administrative staff, students, and alumni. The material presented was familiar to some in the audience, including those of us on the College's Master Plan Task Force, the committee of 14 faculty and administrators appointed by President Dobelle last September. But, to most in attendance the presentation in its totality offered many fresh ideas to ponder. And, not only were the planners' recommendations impressive to those in attendance, but so also was the painstaking and inclusive process that had brought them to this stage. After the formal meeting a lively discussion continued around an architectural model of the campus in the McCook lobby, and faculty members, students and administrators lingered for more conversation on the McCook patio until twilight.

The planners' suggestions Members of the College community were excited by several aspects of the planners'

presentation. Especially intriguing were the opportunity to recast the physical relationship of the campus to the city and the identified potential to dramatically improve the campus setting as a place for living, learning, and teaching. At the time of this writing in early June, the master planning process is still in progress.

But, to get to this stage, the planners had to proceed with care and precision through two of four clearly distinct phases: analysis and options. Phase Three, yet to come, is plan development. Beyond Phase Three is implementation, which w ill take the College well into the next century and which can only be real-

ized with the support of alumni, parents, and friends. Phase One, with its intensive on-campus surveys and mapping, concentrated on the analysis of the neighborhood, landscaping, and architectural challenges confronting Trinity. In addition to studies of every campus building and long interviews with Director ofFacilitiesJohn Woolley, the planning team worked with the Master Plan Task Force to learn about campus culture, needs, and aspirations. The planners held dozens of individual and group interviews with faculty and administrators. Special attention was given to meetings with heads of departments with already identified and planned construction programs, such as the Library, Computing Center, and Admissions. For the discussions related to student life and residence, the planners met and dined with many groups of students. They even tried out the College's athletic facilities to get a feel for that aspect ofTrinity community life. The team members conducting the neighborhood

analysis met with local groups, small merchants associations, city planners and gover~ment officials , and leaders of Trinity's institutional partners in SINA (Southside Institutions Neighborhood Alliance). A goal of these discussions was to find physical avenues for enhanced Trinity interaction with the neighborhood surrounding campus. At the end of the analysis phase, the planners developed a series of principles to govern the development of the plan (see box accompanying this article). Guided by these, they proceeded to the options phase. In this phase, the planners held group meetings where they presented possible solutions to problems and elicited responses from students, faculty, and staff. The resulting discussions were lively, as participants saw the potential impact of a new plan. At every phase, the planners met with the Board of Trustees' Physical Plant Committee, which devoted all of its regular and several additional meetings to the campus master plan. To give a sense of the nature of the discussions that took place in the options

phase, let's take one of the principles and look at a couple of the possible solutions resulting from the attempt to apply the principle to a particular problem identified in the analysis phase. One ofTrinity's persistent problems since the 19th century is the lack of a clear sense of arrival at the campus. Visitors today, especially firsttime visitors, find it difficult to know where the "front door" to the campus is, and once they are inside the campus, they struggle to navigate to a particular destination, such as the Admissions Office . The planners' principle associated with this identified problem is: "establish a clear, ceremonial front door as the primary entrance to the campus." Guided by this principle,

the planners have considered two, not mutually exclusive options. In one option, Vernon Street would be reopened at the intersection of Broad Street, and its character would be dramatically transformed as a tree-lined campus drive. All utilities would be placed underground, and it would be perceived readily as an internal pmpus roadway, not a city street. Devices would be used to slow traffic and to give a sense of intimacy, consistent with the character of the rest of the campus. For those entering from the east, Vernon Street would lead to an admissions office either in Williams or on the President's House Quad. Possibly there would be a new drive leading directly from Vernon Street into this area. Interestingly,

ALONG THE WALK

Design Principles 1. Campus Character Trinity should maintain its small-scale ambience, its mixed-use character, and its informal landscape setting. 2. Campus Orientation Shift the orientation of the campus from one that is inwardly focused to one that orients outward to its surrounding communities. 3. Extended Campus Extend the 'on-campus' character to the limits of the north-south and east-west boundaries. 4. Front Door and Image Establish a primary approach route and a clear, ceremonial front door to the campus. ' . 5. Streets and Edges Treat all public campus edges as important frontages and develop a hierarchy of entries that includes each of them. 6. Open Space Structure Enhance the quality of each of the campus's distinctive precincts and improve the connections between them and the bounding streets. Develop the quadrangle in front of Mather Hall as the focal point of the campus circulation and facilities. 7. Landscape

Dramatically upgrade the grounds to make a consistent overall environment and a series of memorable, beautiful spaces. Create a consistent, campus-wide vocabulary for all site elements, including lighting, paving, seating, and signage . 8. Topography Use topography in a creative way to reinforce the fundamental hillside character of the campus. 9. Uses Continue the mixed-use character both campus-wide and within each precinct. 10. Pedestrian Circulation Create a clear system of paths throughout the campus, strengthening the north-south axis along the ridge and integrating it with an emerging east-west system down the hill. 11. Vehicular Circulation Create a clear, inviting, unambiguous, and flexible network that accommodates many different users- firsttime visitors, students, staff, and faculty- and that balances pedestrian and vehicular needs. 12. Parking Integrate parking into the overall landscape character of the campus, improving its quality, clarity, and efficiency, but not its quantity. 13. Signage Create an integrated, hierarchical signage system that reflects the College's academic, urban-oriented mission and that effectively leads fron1 the highway, to city streets, to the campus and parking, to individual building and room addresses.

this path off Vernon would be along the lines of what had been the College approach in 1875. Another'option would be to create a new drive into the campus. This could be located just north of the Ferris Athletic Center and lead to a new ceremonial point of arrival created by a courtyard linking the Library and the Austin Arts Center. In this scenario it would be possible to relocate Admissions to the area on the east side of the library, approximately where the tennis courts are today.

Where the planning stands today Weighing the pros and cons of options such as these is the task of the third phase of the planning process, which will entail selection of the best options and the development of an integrated plan. Currently we are in this phase. The Trustees are weighing all of the options presented for each of the 13 principles. This is a very complex process because some options are mutually exclusive, and others are interdependent. In the final plan phase, there will be prioritization of projects and the description of phasing of the plan implementation, which will be achieved in three stages. The first phase of implementation will be completed by the year 2000, the second phase by the year 2010, and the third phase in the year 2020 . Naturally, we expect to revise and update this campus master plan at five-year intervals o~er the 23-year life of the plan. The opportunity to work with planners of international stature to create a plan that will bring the standards for Trinity's future buildings up to the level of the great buildings of the 19th century has been an exciting opportunity

in my career. I know that my campus colleagues on the Master Plan Task Force, as well as many on campus who participated in discussions with the planners, were intellectually stimulated and challenged by the ideas being discussed, the problems identified, and the solutions proposed. The Trinity campus's problems, the relationship of the College to its neighborhood, and the implications for education in an urban context are by no means unique to Trinity. But, thanks to the College's neighborhood revitalization initiative and the concurrent master planning process, we at Trinity have the opportunity to address in microcosm these fundamental issues in a manner that could become a model for other institutions.

Religion center hosts media workshop

hirty leading journalists and religion scholars gathered at Trinity in April for a two-day workshop examining the role of religion in contemporary society. The event was held under the auspices of the College's new Center for the Study of Religion in Public Life. Cosponsored by the New England/Maritimes region of the American Academy of Religion and underwritten by the Lilly ' Endowment, the workshop, "Religion in the News," was attended by editors and reporters from The New York Times, CBS News, National Public Radio, The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, The Christian Science Monitor, and CNN, among other news organizations. "What we were able to do

Jonathan Levin '88 remembered Members of the Trinity community, and especially alumni from the Class of 1988, grieved in June the loss of Jonathan Levin '88, a gifted high school teacher who was murdered in his Manhattan apartment, allegedly by a former student. Levin's homicide, the circumstances surrounding his death, and the selflessness and dedication he showed in his life's work captured the attention of the national media and moved many to take commemorative actions. U sing College funds, Trinity has established a scholarship in Levin's name for a qualified graduating senior from William H . Taft High School, where he taught. This scholarship, to be awarded on the basis of merit and need, will be $20,000 a year for four years. In the event no applicant from Taft meets the criteria in a given year, the scholarship will be awarded to a qualifying graduate of a New York City public high school. A gift to Trinity from an anonymous member of the Class of 1960 will endow The Jonathan Levin Prize in Education, a $750 prize to be awarded each year at Honors Day to a junior or senior student who has engaged in practice teaching and who intends to pursue a teaching career in the inner city. At the time of the announcement of the Trinity scholarship, Christopher Small, vice president for enrollment management, said, "We were taken by the reaction of students that was reported in the national news media and thought it was important to recognize an alumnus who manifested all the qualities described by his students. The best way to do this is to create a memorial scholarship as an incentive for these students to emulate those ideals." The next issue of the Reporter will include a complete obituary, with remembrances by Levin's classmates.

was to provide the journalists with a sense of what the important religious issues of our day are, and the opportunity to discuss them with some of the county's foremost experts," said Mark Silk, director of the Center. The scholars gave short presentations on subjects ranging from the Christian right and the state of American Roman Catholicism to

the role of religious institutions in building community and providing social services under the current devolution of federal authority to the state and local level. Following each presentation, the journalists and academics engaged each other in lively and extended discussion about the issues that had been raised. "It renewed and deepened

my appreciation for the fact that religion, or faith, really pervades many other aspects of life," said Tom Bradford, producer of CBS News's "Up to the Minute." "It instructed me again to be alert to those aspects." Over the next several years the Center expects to conduct a number of similar workshops in collaboration with the American Academy of Religion at sites around the country.

Neighborhood effort boosted by $6. 15-million bond approval

n April, at the initiative of Connecticut Governor John Rowland, the State Bond Commission voted to approve state funding that endorses a plan to create a "Learning Corridor" on the site of a former bus garage, adjacent to Trinity. The plan is being implemented by the Southside Institutions Neighborhood Alliance (SINA) and is part ofTrinity's comprehensive neighborhood revitalization initiative. The Bond Commission's action, coming around the same time as the demolition of a boarded-up building next to Timothy's restaurant on Zion Street, attracted considerable interest by the local media in late April. Both events provided tangible evidence of momentum and progress on the neighborhood revitalization front. The Bond Commission approved $6.15 million to be used to begin site remediation and improvements and to initiate design work for a new regional magnet high school resource center to be constructed on the site. Programming and curriculum at the high school resource center

will focus on science, nuthematics, and technology; the center will also be the new home of the Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts. "The State is proud to support SINA and the Trinity Heights neighborhood revitalization initiative," said Governor Rowland. "We are proud to be a partner in this landmark initiative to rebuild Hartford's Frog Hollow and Barry Square neighborhoods." The action of the Bond Commission marks the state's clear commitment to move forward with a comprehensive neighborhood renewal effort in the southside neighborhoods of Hartford. The initiative is a public-private partnership at the center of which is an alliance among five nonprofit institutions located in these neighborhoods: Trinity, Hartford Hospital, Connecticut Children's Medical Center, the Institute ofLiving, and Connecticut Public Television & Radio, which together compose SINA. The overall SINA initiative is focused on improving opportunities for children and families, education, employment, housing, and neighborhood quality of life. As a result of the Bond Commission's approval of state funding, the State Department of Education and the State Department of Public Works will move this year to complete environmental remediation of the nine-acre site of the former Department of Transportation bus garage on which a new family resource center, relocated Montessori-style magnet elementary school, new neighborhood middle school, and the high school resource center will be constructed. continued on page 40

A first for Trinity - national singles champion

Squash program reaches new summits BY AlBERT CARBONE, JR.

'95

rinity has had a distinguished tradition of athletics in its 174-year history. The College's success in athletics mirrors the goals and high ideals of the liberal arts tradition that Trinity seeks to embody. This winter, Trinity celebrated an athletic first - a national champion. Freshman squash player Marcus Cowie '00 ofNorwich, England, culminated a fabulous first collegiate season with an exciting five-game victory over two-time defending champion Daniel Ezra of Harvard University to become the National Intercollegiate Squash Racquet Association's 1997 Singles Champion. Cowie's victory was the culmination of an outstanding year for the men's squash team. In fact, the victory symbolized even more. It has helped pave the way into the 20th century for the game of squash at Trinity. Since receiving varsity status in the early 1940s, men's squash has always been a strong competitor. However, the Bantams rarely were able to vault themselves over the traditional Ivy League squash powers (Harvard, Yale, Princeton, UPenn). In 1994, squash play in the collegiate ranks made the switch to the international version of the game, with a softer ball and wider courts. This move immediately benefitted teams like Harvard, Princeton, and UPenn, whose rosters were stocked with foreign-born student-athletes with vast softball experience. That same year, Paul Assaiante became the head coach of the men's squash

program at Trinity. A nationally-renowned player himself, Assaiante had prior coaching experience at Williams and the United States Military Academy. "I had the utmost respect for Trinity teams when I coached against them," says Assaiante, who also coaches the men's tennis team. "Every time we played Trinity, my teams knew we would be in for a war on the courts." In just three years, Assaiante has been able to bring Trinity to the next level of play. With a 40-6 dualmatch record since the 199495 season, including a College-record 16 victories in 1996-97, Trinity is now being mentioned in connection with the Ivy League schools.

Inset photo, Marchus Cowie '00, the 1997 National Intercollegiate Squash Singles Champion.

"Because of what we, as a team, have done this year, and what Cowie achieved in the singles championship, Trinity's now considered one of the elite intercollegiate programs," says Assaiante. "It is exciting to be in the same company with Harvard and Princeton. However, even with this national visibility,

we must continue to grow and improve." Assaiante looks at the success of the men's squash program, especially the fine results of the 1996-97 team, as a direct result of a few important advantages that Trinity offers. To succeed, according to Assaiante, you need quality players. More importantly,

you must offer them a positive educational and social experience. " I believe in Trinity and what President (Evan) Dobelle has set out to accomplish,'( explains Assaiante. " If yo u believe in something, you can sell it. That is what I feel about Trinity College as a w hole as well as its men's squash program." President Dobelle has stressed a need for greater diversity in the stude nt body, including more international students. Since the style of the game of squash favo rs the internation al player, Assaiante has taken steps to attract the top players in the world, starting w ith Cowie, who was the #2-ranked junior player in the world, and Steve Ayling '00, the #4-ranked junior in England, both members of th e 1996-97 natio nal finalists. In addition, Assaiante has continued to make it a priority to capture the top U.S. players as well. "Out of the top 64 players w ho competed in the singles championships this year, 38 were foreign-born," says Assaiante. " In fac t, eight of the top ten were non-Americans." The lone exceptions were T rinity fres hman Preston Quick ofLakewood, CO, who was 17-1 in 1996-97, and Amherst first-year star David McNeeley. Both were the top two U.S . ju nior players in 1995-96 before entering college this past year. "When players are choosing where they want to go, a big factor is the daily preparation," explains Assaiante. "If they know that every single day they w ill be challenged by competing and practicing w ith the best players, they choose that school. I believe that is what T rinity can now offer."

One of the top selling points for attracting the best players, native or foreign, is a first-rate facility. In 1996-97, the Trinity squash facility was considered the best collegiate facility in the nation. With an intimate and comfortable gallery seating structure, the 拢o'lcility, w hich boasts eight international-sized courts, can hold up to 1,000 spectators. "To offer an intimate set-

ting like ours is important for a young athlete w ho will cherish going into competition in front of a large crowd," says Assaiante. It also helps that Trinity has hosted the National junior Championships from 1993 to 1995 and the New England Prep School Championships three out of the las t four years. Being able to host these events has given Trinity extra expo-

sure, accordin g to Assaiante. "Those who helped devise the structure in the early 1990s, including Trinity Athletic Director Rick Hazelton, J erry Hansen '5 1, and George Kellner '64," says Assaiante, "had a good idea about wh ere we wanted to go with our squash program." Based on this year's results, it is headed in the right direction.

In J996路97, the Trinity squash Facility was considered the best collegiate Facility in the nation. Trinity Head Coach Paul Assaiante has led the Bantam men's squash program to an impressive 40-6 record since 1994.

A senior's research:

The Mafia and economics BY PETER NICHOLS

'97

n April, the Italian Programs area at . Trinity hosted the first TriCollege Sym posium in Italian studies, which brought together faculty and students from Smith College, Vassar College, and Trinity. The keynote lecture, "Women and the Sicilian Mafia," was given by Valeria Pizzini of the University of Turin, Italy. After a convivial lunch, students presented reports on their senior projects. Smith was represented by Laura Kahn ("Images of Food in Literature") and Molly Nowotny ("Galileo's Dialogue"), Vassar by Jeffrey Welch '"Baroque Italian Cuisine") and Elana Wertkin ("The Garden of the Finzi-Contini Revisited"), and Trinity by Laura Rigolosi '97 ("Early Editions of Vittoria Colonna's Poetry") and Peter Nichols '97 ("Mafia and Economics"). Rigolosi, winner of this year's Barbieri prize for achievement in Latin, graduated with a B.A. in English and Italian, with honors in Italian. Nichols, an economics major, graduated eighth in his class with honors in general scholarship . In his senior thesis, Nichols drew on his many formative academic experiences at Trinity: a summer semester at the Rome Campus, a course about "Mafia," visiting lectures by mafia experts Alexander Stille and Federico Varese, and his role as a "Mentor" in the first-year seminar on "The Collapse of Communism and Its Aftermath: Revolution in Eastern Europe and Italy," taught by John Alcorn of Italian studies. The following are excerpts of a summary of his thesis, written by Nichols for the Reporter. When one hears the word "protection," two things can come to mind. The word can mean insulation from external dangers, but it can also mean "protection" that is offered by a tough character from harm that he himself threatens to deliver. When a businessman says that he is paying ~ mafioso for protection, we automatically jump to the conClusion that it is the second kind, or extortion. In my thesis on "The B usiness of the Mafia: An Economic Analysis of the Market for Private Protection," I show that this need not be the case.

While Sicily is no longer the remote, lawless land it was in the past, and legal Sicilian businessmen do have the state to rely on, the Russia of today is like Sicily was at the turn of the century."

Drawing on the works of economists, social scientists such as Diego Gambetta, and firsthand testimony of the Sicilian mafiosi Tommaso Buscetta and Antonino Calderone, I came to four main conclusiOns: • First, that the Mafia "family," instead of being an odd subcultural criminal "club," can be seen as a firm that supplies transaction guarantees and physical protection from external predators ; • Second, that demand for such services is self-perpetuating; • Third, that the market for protection is noncompetitive, and that there is a territorial cartel among Mafia protection firms; and, • Fourth, that although it is in their power to be purely extortionate, Mafia families will usually find it in their best interests to limit the "fees" they charge, and to offer real protection to those in their territory. It is easy to dismiss mafiosi as extortionists, for their offers of protective services are often ones that "can't be refused." But this does not automatically mean that the protection offered is fake . In fact, even if protection is not forced on customers, it is a commodity for which demand is self-p erpetuating (... ) If a certain street is reputed to be protected by Don Fabrizio, then thieves may simply steer clear of all the stores on it, even the few who have not paid for protection. (... ) Protection is a special commodity where, whether one wants it or not, one gets it and is required to pay for it. What keeps a mafioso from becoming purely extortionate? (.... ) [Mafiosi] usually find it in their best interests to limit the level of their taxation and to offer real protection. (... )By charging moder-

ate prices, the mafiosi will not bankrupt the businesses and will thus maintain the transaction. By having real protection, client businesses will profit even more, and thus the mafioso's cut will also increase . In the end, while the presence of Mafia protectors may be useful to some, this does not mean that it is a positive force. This is because those transactions that are most often protected are illegal. [Oxford sociologist] Federico Varese, in a conversation I had with him at the Gallows Hill Bookstore, pointed out that while Sicily is no longer the remote, lawless land it was in the past, and ·legal Sicilian businessmen do have the state to rely on, the Russia of today is like Sicily was at the turn of the century. (... ) While economic reform has made it possible to own. private pr~perty and to engage in many new economic transactions, the government laws to protect citizens in their new endeavors are confusing, contradictory, or absent. (... ) The police are not seen as credible providers of protection, and it is no wonder. The murder rate in Russia increased 70% from 1991 to 1992. There is a lawless, violent business atmosphere, and entrepreneurs find that the only way to remain in business and to beat competitors is to have strong private protection. This demand for violence is easily met. (... )The unemployment rate in Russia has skyrocketed since the market reforms, and many of these unemployed are men w ho have been trained in the use of violence. In January 1992, the KGB staff was cut from 36,000 to 2,800. Twenty-five thousand Soviet military officers have been dismissed on political grounds. The Russian police, while struggling to expand its ranks to fight Mafia groups, has found that due to low wages, many skilled officers have found it more profitable to offer their services as private protectors. (... ) In Russia, the Mafia does not protect only illegal businesses but many legal businesses as well, and if it were to be removed, lacking both state and private protection, legal entrepreneurs would find their ordinary business dealings extremely difficult.

The work of three students fills this "Poet's Corner."

George Hume '99 began writing poems in the third grade, his first efforts in the form ofhaiku. "I started with what Freud would call cathexis," Hume says. "I used to write 'in the emotion,' locked up in a room, some low music playing. Now I write 'out' of the world I am in. I have turned to [Gary] Snyder, [Walt] W hitman, Lu Chi and others as a way of trying to find peace in this world that at times can be somewhat deranged and off-center." A native of San Francisco, Hume often frequents North Beach, where, he points out, many of the Beat Generation poets "hung out in the late fifties." In the spring semester, Hume wrote this poem after Allen Ginsberg, one of his favorite poets, died. LET YOUR SOUL RISE - FOR ALLEN GINSBERG

Amanda (Amy) Souers '97 of G aithersburg, M D was a creative writing major and Writing Associate for Trinity's Writing Center. A Guided Studies participant, she did not start writing p oems until her sophomore year, when she took a class with Professor of English Hugh Ogden. Although, she notes , "I have always kept some kind of a journal and I still have little poems and haiku I wrote in third grade." After graduation Souers intends to continue her work in environmental! outdoor education, possibly in Mexico or Costa Rica. Someday she hopes to be able to combine writing with ecology, perhaps as an environmental science journalist or nature writer. This poem comes from her experience teaching nature classes at the Science Center of Connecticut. LESSON

I show the ancient leaffossil

to the girls, the brown smooth rock, each thin vein remembered; and the fish , its soft tissu~s and scales decayed, leaving skull and fan of brittle bone embedded in stone. I give each girl a homemade fossil, metal pick, stiff brush. They strap on oversized safety goggles and dig in to their plaster. Each girl has elaborate fingernails . One wears chipped blood-red, scrapes daintily; others in glossy sea-green, starry purple gouge as if in a race against time. And as sunlight streams through the dust-softened air, one girl loosens the shark's tooth with plaster-white fingers, plucks it from the hole in the mold and holds it up to the light, her smile revealing the new gap in her gum.

Stephanie Wheeler '97 of Providence, RI started writing in the ninth grade and was "thrilled" to have a poem published with the National Library of Poetry. " It boosted my morale enough for me to continue writing," she notes. A theater/ dance major at Trinity, she has written three plays and taken four courses in poetry writing. "Hugh Ogden has been a major source of inspiration for my writing on campus," she says, "as has Arthur Feinsod of the theater/ dance department." Wheeler taught a poetry class at the Greater Hartford Academy of Performing Arts. Next year she will move to New York City to pursue an acting career, but she plans to keep writing indefinitely and eventually go on to graduate school for either playwriting or poetry.

POEM

I will not forget the sound of the

rush of skirts against legs, the click of high heels. The sounds of the crowd at the airport in Belgium . Long corridors filled with the unfamiliar sounds of French and Dutch. Red lights signaling which autobus to take, my eyes wide with independence and fatigue, marveling at the arch of plucked foreign brows, the 路arch of my back so stiff as I rush in search of your liquid brown eyes lost in this crowd if black jackets and wool scarves, red boots and a maze of long corridors and fluorescent lights. I long to hear the gentle arch of your voice, to feel the tip if your red tongue in my ear. I rush to the beat if this crowd stop, tie my shoe, stand up and I see them. Your eyes I have to remember to breathe. Those eyes the brush if your long

fingers against my cheek. The crowd a distant hum in the background. It's just you and the arch if your warm neck. The rush if blood to my lips as I kiss it. Red hat on your head and red sprigs if veins through your eyes like lace. You had no time to sleep last night in the rush to borrow a car and drive through the long November night, the arch if the moon above you. The crowd comes to life around us once more. This crowd if unknowns. I sip in air and follow the red bounce of your hat, echoing the lurch and arch if your step. I don't trust my eyes I am so happy. I should have known in the rush of the crowd that I was losing you already. Since then, my eyes have searched the eyes of others but I still long for the familiar arch of your smile, to find that lost calm, through you, in this rush.

by Peter Knapp '65 ommencement is not 6nly a time for celebrating achievement and looking toward the future but also an occasion for reflection . Commencement ceremonies at Trinity 50 years ago demonstrated a full measure of these characteristics. G . Keith Funston '32, the College's president from 1945 to 1951, was then only 37 years old and one of the youngest presidents of an American college or university at the time. Funston envisioned Commencement and the customary conferral of honora1y degrees as an important way of calling Trinity to the attention of a wider public and of enhancing the College's national stature. In the course of his presidency, a number of individuals distinguished in public life, including several alumni, were honored at Commencement. Among them were politicians , business executives, educators, clergymen, physicians, scientists, government officials, and military figures. The 1947 Commencement held true to form. Commencement cerelnonies took place on Monday, June 16. The Commencement speaker was Everette L. DeGolyer ofDallas, TX, a petroleum executive, geologist, book collector, and former wartime Deputy Federal Oil Coordinator. On the preceding day, Baccalaureate Sunday, Leverett Saltonstall, Republican Senator from Massachusetts, delivered an

address in the morning, and the Rt. Rev. Harold E. Sawyer ' 13, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese ofErie, preached the baccalaureate sermon at an evening service. The College awarded 155 baccalaureate degrees, 22 master of arts degrees , two honorary master of arts degrees, and six honorary doctoral degrees. The graduating class was the largest up to that time in Trinity's history, and included many World War II veterans, among them 42 men who had begun their undergraduate careers as Navy V12 trainees. The Navy, needing large numbers of collegeeducated men for its officer corps, particularly in deckofficer capacities, had established the V -12 Program early in the War, and utilized the facilities of 131 colleges and universities across the country

to fulfill the progra111's academic requirements . Trainees who successfully completed the program went on to midshipman school and a commission as a naval officer. Trinity hosted a V-12 unit from 1943 to 1945, and many of the former V -12 trainees who had studied at the College during that period returned after the War to complete the requirements for an undergraduate degree. In addition, other veterans came to Trinity under the auspices of the G.I. Bill ofRights to pursue their education. In the fall of 1946, Trinity was practically overwhelmed by an undergraduate enrollment that exceeded 800, some 300 more than the peak enrollments in the early 1940s. Approximately three quarters of the undergraduates were veterans. In response, the Col-

lege established an aroundthe-calendar schedule consisting of a lengthy summer term in addition to the two regular terms. To accommodate the large enrollment, class schedules during the fall and spring terms ran from 8:00 a.m. to 9:45 p.m. The College appointed additional faculty on a temporary basis to handle the added load, and President Funston justifiably noted in his annual report for the 1946-1947 academic year that cl~sses averaged the traditional 20 men each and that Trinity could still refer to itself as "The Personal College." Of the 22 master of arts degree recipients, five were principals of elementary schools in greater Hartford. They were Marie Lipps, Sedgwick School (West Hartford); Bernice Patterson, Charter Oak School (West

B I 0 I0 Webster School (Hartford); and George Seiple, Brown School (Hartford) . The two recipients of the honorary master of arts degrees were Frederick C. Hinkel, Jr. '06, a business executive and devoted alumnus who had served on the College's Board of Fellows for 20 years and who had been president of the National Alumni Association from 1938 to 1940; and Francis S. Murphy, publisher of The Hariford Times a supporter of commercial aviation in Connecticut and of the development ofBradley Field as an international airport, and co-chair of the Hartford segment of Trinity's 125th Anniversary fund-raising campaign then underway. Recipients of the honorary doctoral degrees were DeGolyer, the Commencement speaker; Senator Saltonstall, the baccalaureate speaker; the Rt. Rev. Harold E . Sawyer '13, the baccalaureate preacher; M atthew E. Dann '26, distinguished educator and headmaster of the TrinityPawling School; Sir Alfred Zimmern, specialist in international law and international relations, and scholar of Athenian history and government; and the R ev. C arl G. Ziegler '97, Episcopal priest and found er in 1895 of the Alpha Chi Rho fraternity. The themes of the speakers were varied but touched on the responsibilities to society that a college education entails. Saltonstall stressed to the graduates that, in the face of Communist threats to the nation's way of life and to the w orld at large, they had to

government work as effectively as possible, maintain a strong military force in support of America's obligations as a world power, and strive to make the United Nations a strong instrument for world peace. Bishop Sawyer cautioned the graduates against the fallacy of relying only on scientific methods in the lifelong search for truth they had begun, and reminded them that faith would help them achieve a fuller life. DeGolyer spoke about the country's natural resources - fossil fuels and minerals - and their relationship to the country's strength as a world power. Citing the ancient silver-lead mining district ofLaurium near Athens and the economic resources it provided to sustain Athenian power for a considerable period, he suggested that projections of quick depletion of America's resources w ere over:ly alarmist but a matter for concern, that vast quantities of coal w ere a safeguard, and that the discovery of new forms of energy would inevitably address the country's future needs. In his Commencement charge, President Funston noted the Class of 1947's high level of academic achievem ent, both individually and collectively, and congratulated the graduates on having " taken the leadership in reconverting extra- curricular affairs to a pre-war civilian basis." H e exhorte d them to have faith in the future and to realize that they must play a large part in its shaping, and to assume the responsibilities which educational privilege entailed.

ARROGANT ARMIES Great Military Disasters and the Generals Behin d TheJ:ll by J ames M. Perry ' 51 John Wiley & Sons, Inc., (N ew York), 1996, 3 14 pages $27.95 " N othing defines the dark side of the human race more precisely than its deadly preoccupation with w ar," writes author Perry in the introduction to this book. This is a fascinating history not of the big wars, but of w hat he calls "a special kind of war - military expeditions dispatched by imperial governments to crush native tribes or 'inferior' cultures in the raw pursuit of power, trade, land, or w orld status." The book explores 11 different military expeditions launched by different nations in the imperial age - the 18th- through the early 20thcentu ries. Each of these small wars is a separate incident, but in each case an arrogant army faces one from an "inferior" culture, sometimes with disastrous consequences. In his introduction Perry gives as one example a British expeditionary army and its camp followers, totalling 16, 500 people, w ho are forced to retreat from Kabul to Jalalabad in Afghanistan , and only one man manages to complete the march . Ignorant generals, incompetent politicians, ineffectual officers, soldiers too hungry to fight: Perry describes them all, using contemporary newspaper accounts, military m emoirs, diaries of soldiers and other fi rsthand letters and papers . R oger Mudd of "The History C hannel" says of this book, "Jim Perry has done, in Arrogant A rmies, what he has always done. H e has told us stories we haven't heard before.

Amacom (American M anagem ent Association), (N ew York) , 1997, 178 pages, $22.95 This book for contemporary managers points the way to achieving major change in an organization through fo cus on four levers or " change drivers" that can be used to begin the change process and to give it momentum along the way. The four "levers" are: • understanding of human nature, • skillful and effective w ielding of power, • wise use of group social processes, and • effective leadership . "What I really like about this book," says Barrie Greiff, M.D., a psychiatrist formerly affiliated with H arvard Business School, "is the recognition that change needs to be looked at in four interdependent w ays : the individual, the use of power, the so cial environment, and the role of lead-

Having in mind that vantage point influences the observer's perspective, Lombardo writes sensitively of the nuances and incongruities of everyday life. Simple scenes are tapped for the mysteries and magic inherent in them.

NORTH AMERICAN ART SINCE 1900 International Encyclopedia of Art by C.M.E.P. Turner (pen name of Cynthia Parzych '73) Facts On File, Inc., (New York), 1996, 64 pages, $18.95 hardcover

An eight-volume series for children 10 years old and up and for adults seeking an introduction to art history, this encyclopedia explores the art of the entire world by region.

It includes art by won1en and people of color, practitioners in folk and native traditions, as well as the more traditional history of art. Art and artists are viewed in the context of the times in which they worked - an examination that is social, historical, economic, and cultural. North American Art Since 1900 covers the boom years of the 1920s, the Works Progress Administration arts program, regionalism, social realism, the survival oflocal folk art traditions, the work of European artists who took refuge in New York during World War II, and the birth of the New York School in the 1940s. The book begins with the effort to preserve American Indian traditions in the face of modern American culture. Its survey includes photography, the pre-W odd War I art movements, the rise of modernism, the impact made by the famous Armory Show of 1913, and the many art movements into the present day. Cynthia Parzych is general editor of the International Encyclopedia, a series she produces with her husband, John Turner, as well as the author of this volume. She received

In his preface to this book, Professor V ohra laments the sketchy knowledge that most Americans have of India. "While most Americans have heard of wife burning, the Hindu-Muslim communal riots over the Ayodhya Temple-Mosque issue, insurgency in Kashmir (an American kidnapped by a terrorist Kashmiri group made headlines in America), and so on," he says, "few have a meaningful understanding of topics such as the working of the Indian democratic system, the political parties, or even the reasons for the tensions in Indo-U.S. relations." His book seeks to remedy this, laying out for the broadly educated reader what is described as "a masterful sweep of the long and variegated history of India and its current struggle for modernity." India's socioreligious tradition is the continuum on which Vohra bases this history. He seeks to help the reader to understand how the country's past lives on in its present and how the interaction among the forces of imperialism, tradition, and modernity have complicated the problems of state and nation building in the India of today. Vohra has observed and been connected with India's history throughout his lifetime. Born in pre-partition Punjab, he grew up in a po-

nce again, Trinity teams had many successes in the spring season. Leading the way was the women's lacrosse team, ranked in the top five nationally all season. Under the direction of Head Coach Robin Sheppard (23rd season, 19160-5), the Bantams earned their second NCAA playoff berth in three years. In addition, four Bantams won places on the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association's All-New England regional all-star team. Having outstanding seasons were sophomores Whitney Scarlett (Morristown, NJ) and Dorothy Cavanagh (Middleburg, VA), who combined for 103 points in 1997. Seniors J ory Waldman (Slingerlands, NY) and Jenny Dakin (Shaker Heights, OH) finished their careers (both also play field hockey) with seven play-off appearances (three-field hockey, fourlacrosse) . Waldman also earned First Team All-American honors, while Scarlett and Dakin were named to the Second and Third Teams, respectively. The baseball team completed its ninth consecutive winning season, the seventh

under the direction of Head Coach Bill Decker (120-79), and earned a trip to the ECAC Division III New England semifinal round. As a team, Trinity set 12 College records, including season records for doubles (81), home runs (34), runs scored (270), and batting average (.336). Two Bantams earned postseason accolades: senior leftfielder Ryan Shattuck (Omaha, NE) and junior first baseman Christian Burchfield (Milton, MA) were both named to the New England Intercollegiate Baseball Coaches Association's AllNew England Third Team. The men's tennis team, under the direction of thirdyear coach Paul Assaiante (2217), enjoyed its second con-

secutive winning season on the hard courts. The Bantams finished with a 9-6 record, just one win off the College record of10 held by the 1955 and 1978 squads. With no seniors graduating, Assaiante will welcome back nine letter-winners in 1998, including this year's co-captain Tim Stringer (Bay Shore, NY) and freshman Matt Sharnoff (Orange, CT). The outdoor track and field squads, under the direction of Eddie Mighten (7th year) had some outstanding individual performers in 1997. Senior sprinter Michelle Miller (Hartford, CT) achieved a "triple crown" this spring. Winning the 100-meter hurdles event at the NESCAC, Division III, and ECAC meets, Miller qualified for Division III's national championship meet, held at the University ofWisconsin-LaCrosse. At the championships, Miller placed 37 sixth in the 100-meter hurdles, earning Division III All-American status. On the men's side, sophomore Greg Tirrell (Limerick, ME) also qualifed for the NCAA Championships. Also a firstplace finisher at the NESCAC Championships, Tirrell earned a spot in the javelin event at the NCAAs, but did not place.

The 1997 athletic award winners, photographed at the President's house, are: standing, left to right, Tim Plant, Anna Norland, Rob Johnson, Charles Baker, Alyson Guild, Ben Appleyard, Katherine Altshul, Jennifer Halstead, Margaret Modzelewski, and Joseph DeAngelis; and seated, Robert Goldsmith, Mike Poremba, President Evan Dobelle,JoryWaldman, and Jill Romano.

The men's lacrosse team suffered through a tough season, finishing 4-8. However, the Bantams, under the leadership of Head Coach Mike Darr (18th season, 120-107), will return several key players, including a talented freshman class, next season. Leading the Bantams in 1997 were freshman attacker Bobby Souers (Gaithersburg, MD) and senior Joe Lerner (Hollis, NH). Souers scored a team-high 48 points, including 28 assists, w 路ch is the third-best season total in Trinity lacrosse history.

t was a warm April afternoon. Trinity baseball tricaptain Rob Kane '98 had just grounded out in his fourth atbat in a game against Clark University. Before Kane could even take off his helmet, his teammates were needling him good-naturedly about not getting his fourth hit of the game. Earlier that afternoon, Kane had gotten his 1OOth career hit Gust the sixth player to do so in the 131-year history of the Trinity baseball program), scored his 1OOth career run (only the second), and was on base three consecutive times, creating havoc for the Cougar pitching staff. With his genuine smile and easygoing nature, Kane is a happy warrior. His perpetually dirty uniform and bruised body reveal the costs of doing battle with wicked-hop grounders, yet he is always supportive of his teammates and upbeat. "What strikes me about Robby is his disposition," explains Head Coach Bill Decker. "He is always positive, which makes people want to be around him." For the last four spring seasons, Kane, a second baseman from Quincy, MA, has been a fixture in the Trinity infield. "Sometimes," says Decker, "You don't really notice him (maybe because he's just 5'5"), but he's always there. He is quiet, but he has always provided a spark to his team."

Research funded by HUD grant supports neighborhoods' empowerment

n approximately two years' time, the Trinity Center for Neighborhoods (TCN) has undertaken 33 research projects in response to requests from four neighborhood associations. As part of a three-year grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, TCN is funded to conduct applied research at the request of four community-based organizations affiliated with the " Center. The four neighborhood organizations are: Asylum Hill Organizing Project (AHOP), Hartford Areas Rally Together (HART), Citizens for Action in New Britain (CANB), and Organized North Easterners and Clay Hill and North End, Inc. (ONE-CHANE).

The winners of the National Alumni Association's Senior

The awards recognize outstanding undergraduate leadership, academic excellence,

dentonstrated character and citizenship, commitment to Trinity and its advancement, and potential for alumni service.

In the research done during the first two years of the grant, the researchers, who are primarily Trinity faculty, have studied and reported on such topics as services available to neighborhood residents, legislation and enforcement efforts directed at a variety of urban problems, and model programs and efforts to address issues in other urban areas. The faculty are not necessarily expert in the area of this applied research, but all have been willing to dig in, get the needed information, and organize it in a way that will be useful to the neighborhood organizations and residents. The following is a sampling of the topics researched by Trinity faculty members in support ofTCN: • Contributions of Frog Hollow Institutions to the Economic Development of the Neighborhood,

More than 20 area alumni, parents, and their guests attended a cocktail reception in the theater's art gallery prior to the show. After the reception, the audience enjoyed the musical revue ''Ain't Misbehavin'" starring Martha Reeves and the Vandellas. The lively performance featured singing and dancing to the music of the '30s and '40s. It was a spectacular evening enjoyed by all. With the support of a very helpful executive committee, janice Kunin Castle '82 did an excellent job planning this event. Coordinated by Gwynne MacColl Campbell '77, the Trinity Club of Fairfield County has done another excellent job in assisting the admissions office this year. Letters and phone calls to applicants, and then again to admitted candidates, helped with any questions prospective students may have had and encouraged the students to choose Trinity. Many of our volunteers copducted alumni interviews and their recruiting efforts are sincerely appreciated. Many thanks to the following interviewers: Betsy O'Herron

Theresa A. Caldarone '86, Club Secretary The Trinity Club of Hartford had a successful winter season, which started out with the ever-popular Christmas service, "Lessons and Carols," held at the Trinity Chapel on December 8. Eight dub members served as ushers for this service, which featured traditional Christmas music and was a perfect way for the Trinity alumni to get into the holiday spirit! On January 21, the Club hosted a very informative "Neighborhood Initiatives" luncheon at the Smith House. Kevin Sullivan '71, the Vice President of Community and Institutional Relations at Trinity, gave a slide presentation on the revitalization plans for Trinity's neighborhood. Fortyone alumni gathered to hear Kevin's presentation on the

exciting plans for Trinity's future. The first meeting of the Trinity Business Exchange, which was held on February 4 in Trinity's Rittenberg Lounge, was a success that attracted some 20 attendees. In additon to providing networking opportunities for alumni from the Greater Hartford business and legal community, the Trinity Business Exchange was also established to provide a networking and informational resource for Trinity students. Many thanks to our first guest lecturers and Club members Peter Sturrock '65 and Sam Bailey '62, who addressed the interested group on the topic of succession planning for closely held businesses. In an attempt to beat the winter blues, the Hartford and New Haven clubs co-sponsored a "Winter Doldrums Alumni Family Day'' at the Ferris Athletic Center on March 2. Those who attended had a great time enjoying the facilities at Ferris. On March 25, Professor Ralph Morelli treated area alumni to a lecture on "Cyberspace and Trinity'' at Trinity's computing center. Professor Morelli demonstrated how to surf the web and visit Trinity's home pages to find out

about Club events and Trinity happenings. We look forward to seeing Hartford alumni and parents of current students at future Club events! Los Am!eles

MichaelS. Gilman '76, Club President On Thursday night, February 20, more than 70 Trinity alumni, parents, and visitors from the College had a grand celebration at Tommy Tangs on Melrose, one of L.A.'s best and most chic restaurants. Spirits were high as everyone enjoyed seeing one another, dining on the delicious California-Thai cuisine, and hearing the comments of President Do belle and the melodious sounds of the Trinitones. All were impressed by the positive trends at the College, and look forward to the next gathering. New york

john Dalsheim '87, Club Committee Member The New York Winter Alumni Party adopted a new tone this year. Less than 48 hours prior to the mixing of the first cocktail, the venue was changed from the spacious (read 300500) 24 Fifth Avenue Ballroom

AREA CLUB

to the rather cozy (read 100) Metropolitan Republican Club. The caterer was dismissed, the martini glass rental cancelled, the cigar purchases returned as the NY Trin Club committee began chopping vegetables, arranging flowers, liquor shopping, and searching for just the right plastic cocktail "glass." We managed to pay the band, Deep Banana Blackout, and remarkably, the spirit of this all-butimpromptu event, eulogized only hours earlier, burned brightly into the wee hours. February 13th brought 150, including the Trinity Accidentals, to the Tozers' home for the annual President's Reception. While the Accidentals delighted and amazed, it was tough to compete with Mr. Dobelle's admission, ''I'm not that competitive a kind of guy." We continue to hope for more Trinity supporters with the generosity and risk tolerance of the Tozers to make these gatherings possible. This May a large group of young alumni, including William Sharpe '86, in from Paris, met at the new dub Decade. The group chatted excitedly about summer plans and the upcoming "Wednesday Night Clubs" meeting at New York's Trinity Pub. (First Wednesday of each month ... Don't miss it.) Phi'adelphja

Steven K Gerber '87, Club President The Trinity Club of Philadelphia's ad hoc College Speaker series continued on Thursday, March 27, at the Racquet Club in Center City. Our guest speaker, Ellsworth

Morton Tracy Lecturer and Professor ofReligion Frank Kirkpatrick '64 presented "Why Religion Refuses to Die in Secular America: or Why Red Sox Fans Cannot Shed Their Calvinist Notions of Eternal Damnation and Original Sin." Professor Kirkpatrick's thought-

provoking and witty discussion was enjoyed by an intimate gathering of about 15 Trinity loyalists, including Rick

Campbell '91, Ted Coxe '85, Craig Cullen '61, father and son David Gerber '61 and Steven Gerber '87, George Graham '59, Charlie Kurz '67, P'99, Mickey Lloyd '60, P'88 and '94, Ned Montgomery '56, Andrew Newcomb '91 and his father, Adam Ondricek '95, David Peake '66, and Charles weston '66. Aside from addressing the infamous Babe Ruth trade, Professor Kirkpatrick and the attendees enjoyed lunch, while contemplating the continued presence of religion as an enduring force in American culture. Club Executive Vice President Andy Newcomb '91 organized this event. On Wednesday evening, April 9, Dean Walker '70, Henry Mcilhenny Senior Curator of European Decorative Arts and Sculpture at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, treated nearly 25 Trinity faithful to a guided tour of the Portraits of Franklin Exhibit organized to celebrate the Philadelphia Museum of Art's acquisition of Jean-Antoine Houdon's renowned 1779 masterpiece marble bust of Benjamin Franklin. Attendees included Michael Beautyman '69, Ted Coxe '85, Sally and Dan deDominicis P'OO, Henry Farnum '62 and his wife Priscilla, Steven Gerber '87, Amy Kestnbaum ]anzon '89 and her husband Jakob, wendy Kershner

The beautiful Victorian home of Franny and Charlie Stewart '76 provided the setting for a March 27 reception for President Evan Dobelle. The unusually mild weather meant cocktails could be served on spacious back porch where more than 30 alumni, parents, and their families gathered and visited with the President and KAren Isgur '92 from the alumni office. The evening got off to a great start with an outdoor performance by the Trinity College a cappella singing group, The Accidentals. Everyone then moved inside where they were welcomed by Club President Anne Madarasz '81 and got to view a new video that was sent to recently admitted students. President Dobelle addressed the group on the extraordinary increase in applications to Trinity over the past two years

Several Trinity events were held during the their stay in our lovely city. First, a reception for new student applicants and their families was held in downtown SF at the ANA Hotel and, from the evening's presentation, I'm sure Trinity is now the overwhelming first choice of all who attended. President Dobelle and Christopher Small, vice president for enrollment management, were the honored speakers, the Trinitones were the melodious singers, and Scott Gerien '90 was the man in charge. Thanks to Scott and to Kelly Dixon '88 for their efforts in making the evening such a success. Overall, it was a great event and presentation for Trinity College.

As always, the "Young Alumni" have maintained their regular get togethers, thanks to the impetus provided by such distinguished members of the Class of '94 as Emelie East and A. J Kamra! In addition to the traditional "Happy Hours," a group of about 15 attended a January 25 skating party at the Smithsonian Ice Rink. Of particular note was an early February gathering of more than 25 at "Ozio's," the rather unique "Cigar and Martini Bar." Finally, a small group eelebrated Washington's Birthday with a competitive outing at "Car Pool Billiards" in Northern Virginia! It was indeed an "active" winter for the "recent" grads! On February 1, an opening reception at the Mickelson Gallery on G Street for an exhibition by Bruce Macdonald '56

brought excellent reviews. The gallery description says it all: "Bruce's paintings and drawings record the visual similarities and differences of two rich historic areas: England's thatched houses and old cathedrals and New England's covered bridges and white spired churches." On March 23 and 24 the Kennedy Center, in conjunction with its Millennium Stage Series, featured the Trinity Accidentals. This writer was in attendance at the opener, as were quite a few other alumni, and I can vouch for the fact that the concert was thoroughly enjoyed by a standing-roomonly crowd of close to 300. Their music, variety of offerings, and very obvious enthusiasm brought them considerable applause and a standing ovation at the conclusion of the program! Our spring events, underway as this article goes to press, include a tour of the U.S. National Arboretum arranged by Marian Kuhn 77, a reception with President Dobelle, and - with thanks to Ford Barrett '66 for making the arrangements - a talk by Professor Michael FitzGerald of Trinity's Fine Arts Department at the National Gallery where he will provide us with his expertise on the Picasso exhibit. All of this will be topped off by the annual Club picnic in June at the Potomac Boat Club, thus bringing to a close a most interesting, diverse, and productive year for many of the participating Bantams!

One ofTrinity's most faithful boosters, JACK ZIETLOW, visited the Holy Land last fall and was impressed with the ruggedness of the land and its army. Also, he studied in preparation for a trip he took with the Trinity Continuing Education Program over the Christmas holidays. We are awaiting his report on this event. DR. ART HAZENBUSH reports that it was good to read news of his classmates in the recent edition of the Reporter. He and wife, Mary, travel extensively recently enjoying a cruise around the Greek isles - and are planning to leave home in Stuart, FL for another extensive boat trip down the east coast of South America, through the Drake Passage and then up the west coast. ROBERT RODNEY explains why he settled in Montana: In 1967 he took his wife and daughter out there to accept the deanship of arts and sciences at Eastern Montana College. They liked the city, the moderate climate, and the mountain environment so well that they stayed on for retirement. After completing a number of books on Mark Twain, Rob has just finished a light satire on the foibles of mod-

ern America. He spent years in the Air Force Reserve. ORSON HART, M.D. writes from New Canaan that he is spending part of his golden years bugging Congressmen about Social Security, taxes, and spending. He concludes that they are not very responsive. He also enjoys reading news of his classmates. All we need is for more of you to provide the data to YOUR CORRESPONDENT. JACK MAHER, having received a recent Trinity football program, marvels at the changes in staffing. His '34 team enjoyed the services of two coaches, Dan Jessee and Joe Clark, but now there is an assistant for almost every position. However, no team has ever done better than finish undefeated, as did ours. His remedial philosophy is that everything keeps spinning upward, the expanding universe! Jack and I are perhaps the only survivors of that undefeated team and we read with deep regret but with many fine memories of the death of Joe Clark, our assistant coach. Note: if there are survivors, we would appreciate 1 hearing from them. ' TOM and Frances HAGARTY are still getting around, having been seen at the Class of '36 half century dinner. Let us hear from you, too, Tom. ANTHONY CACASE writes that he is "grateful for the fact that God has blessed me with sufficiently good health so that at the age of 83 I am still able to drive from Connecticut to Florida for my annual winter season (October through April), then drive back to my summer home where I spend the milder five-month period of May through September. Not a bad lifestyle, I'd say. I plan to enjoy this program as long as the Man Upstairs permits it." The alumni office has no current mailing address for the following member of the Class.

I'll start this piece with reference to LOUIS STEIN, who is probably our most vigorous member- now and maybe 60 years ago. He writes from his home for winters in Sarasota to say that he saw

DOLPH HOEHLING recently, as he resides in Englewood, only 20 miles away. Lou also mentions Ruth and BILL HULL '37 and BERT SCULL, who also live in' Sarasota but in different retirement homes. As usual, Lou has played in a few tournaments, one of which was in Laurel Oak, the home of the Monica Seles. There he reached the finals. Guess age must be reaching for Lou just a little. But, he received the gold medal for tennis in the Senior Olympics for the Gulf Coast. He is doing great. JACK HANNA writes that he still enjoys his two "walk-jogs" daily for a total of three miles, plus rigorous calisthenics at the University gym. Wife, Inga, goes there for an early morning session called "Heartline," for those with mild cardiac conditions. Jack has given up' skating and skiing, but still prefers plodding through snow to ice-covered sidewalks. Somewhat of a contrast to Lou. And me. I am wobbling as I walk and do about everything else people do, enough so that I have seen a neurologist who suspects Parkinson's disease; but the tests do not confirm it, so I am going for a study at the UConn Medical Center, Dempsey Hospital, in Farmington in March. But I still walk one-and-one-half miles with Priscilla every morning and follow with 500 yards in the "Y'' pool in New Britain three days a week. But I just sold my snow blower and lawn mower, and miss the effort I used to put into those activities. Had a talk with SHERRY RAYMOND. He and Grace are enjoying living at The Village Gate in Farmington. Sherry found that the Hartford Chapter Insurance City Barbershop Chorus rehearsed there and, as that is right up his alley, he joined, and once again is in the activity he enjoyed so much when they lived on Cape Cod. In the conversation with Sherry, and incidental to it, I learned that our classmate, FRANK MANION, will very soon be married and will be leaving Village Gate for Farmington Woods, a condominium establishment. Frank had lived the bachelor life in at least two senior centers, but no longer. And about BOB MCKEE, who must be about the most indomitable member of our Class. Since our 60th Reunion, he has experienced a stroke. I quote: "I have regained most of my skills but my vision is impaired." He has given up driving and reads with difficulty. He has regained most of his skill at the piano, but, as he cannot read music, he is trying to retain the pieces he had mastered in the past. "All things considered, I am a

lucky guy." Bob's older daughter is a consultant in the bio-technology and semiconductor industries. His younger daughter is married to a physics professor, has two children, and is working towards an advanced degree in music. But, since learning the above, I found out that Bob has had further trouble. On March 18, he had a triple coronary by-pass but, at this writing (March 22), he spoke with me on the phone, as usual, and gave every indication of doing fine. I hope all you fellows who are doing as well as Bob will send me a note to prove it. The alumni office has no current mailing address for the following members of the Class.

I regret to report the recent death of classmate, THOMAS MCLAUGHLIN (see In Memory). He bravely attended recent reunions even though hurting badly with shingles. I am sure that all of us remember his passion for running, both cross-country and track, as an undergraduate. In quite a different vein, I am happy to share my good news the birth of our fourth grandchild, a girl, born on March 23, 1997 to Catherine and Robert Grandahl. She will have three brothers to contend with. I managed to reach ARVID ENGEL, who lives in nearby Wethersfield, CT. He enjoys working in a garden on a half-acre of land. I wish I had his energy. He is also very active with family in New York and Florida and is busy helping friends in need. He has had a long retirement, starting at the age of 57 and going strong at the age of 79. It was interesting to talk with HARRY NICKEL again. I didn't realize that he was a two-career man. He spent 10 years as a banker with Glastonbury Savings Bank, which was a great preparation for a second venture in the insurance field, running his own agency. He continues to be involved on a parttime basis so that he can play some golf when he is so inclined. He also enjoys traveling. He and his second wife just returned from a trip to Arizona to escape our New England winter, only to find that January in Arizona isn't exactly summer weather. We reminisced briefly about school days and our Sigma Nu brother, DICK LINDNER. ERNEST WHITE stayed in the greater Hartford area after graduating and was involved in the foodservice business in a firm of his

own. He did the same work in the military, where he developed a food-training program for the Air Transportation Service. He told me he was pleased to receive a special commendation from the Commanding General. These days, keeping in touch with his family is a priority, involving trips to the West Coast to visit a daughter and four grandchildren. DICK MORRIS was kind enough to send a note indicating that he is "surprisingly busy," dealing with various publishers. Naval History accepted an article and so did Highlights for Children. He was most pleased to learn that University Press will do a paperback, a second edition of his book,

john P. Holland, Inventor ofthe Modern Submarine. As a true Trinity supporter, he urges us as a Class to contribute to the Class of '40 Memorial Scholarship Fund. AL HOPKINS, although acknowledging he is getting older, continues to go to work every morning and does keep in touch with classmates. He and Jean wish to send sincere warm regards to all classmates. It seemed timely to hear from DUNCAN YETMAN, who served as principal of Hartford Public High School in the '60s "when it was a good school with a strong eraclition dating back over 300 years." He was aware of the problems at the school today, only as reported by the news media. He feels that President Dobelle's redevelopment program is a splendid idea as I am sure we all do. Duncan is active in the Institute for Retired Professionals at Fairfield University, a senior adult learning group, where he serves on the advisory board. He has taken several courses in creative writing and film and literature which he found fascinating. Other activities are: board of directors of the Trumbull Library and board of directors of the Trumbull High School Scholarship Foundation. He also finds time to swim daily at the Fairfield YMCA. Now there is a "young fella" for you. The alumni office has no current mailing address for the following members of the Class.

The sad news of HERB FELDMAN's death (see In Memory) is a reminder that our ranks are thinning. I am indebted to DICK BLAISDELL for sending me Herb's obituary. As I told Dick, although it is my melancholy task as Class Secretary to watch for obituaries of classmates, I missed Herb's. In his annual Christmas message, CHICK KIRKBY gave the following modest summary of his current status: "I didn't get fired. (How can you fire someone who is retired?) I didn't get arrested (yet). I didn't get sued (yet). I didn't go bankrupt (yet). No one shot me (or even at me. Yet). I didn't die. (I didn't even get sick.)" It is good to know that all is well chez Kirkby (as yet) .

Had a nice letter from DON VINCENT, correcting a couple of things I said about him in my last report. He is not a painter but he does do stained glass and has been doing it for the past 25 years. True to an old Trinity tradition of strength in the insurance business, he taught about a variety of insurance matters for three insurance companies. Continuing his cultural pursuits, Don took up the organ at 72, rekindling an interest nourished at Trinity by master organist, Clarence Watters. Don is also a ham operator, but not as fully equipped as JACK BARBER, with whom he has talked. Don reminded me that he was one of our classmates whose studies were interrupted by the War. He finished in 1947. Reached CHARLIE FRESHER, one of my fellow townsmen from

East Hartford. Charlie is retired from the Metropolitan Water District and lives close to Trinity in Newington. He has some trouble walking after a heart by-pass a cou路 ple of years ago, but is otherwise okay. Charlie was a pretty good ath Ieee but I remember him most for his dilapidated old Essex convertible coupe in which he used to give me rides to school. On sub-zero days it was like riding in a Conestoga wagon. Chatted withAL GRANATEK. After a long residence in New York he is now in Arizona. AI must have something of a Noah complex because I caught him fixing down路 spouts - in Arizona? AI has had a long successful career in pharmaceuticals: 35 years with Bristol Meyers, doing creative work on antibiotics. He then spent a halfdozen years as vice president of International Medical Systems, and after his second retirement from that firm, he is still doing consulting work. AI strongly believes in giving scientific investigation its head; for instance, don't hamper cloning research. On an optimistic personal note: AI and his wife are taking care of his 105-year-old mother, who is still in good health. Great genes, AI. Also talked with ART URBANO, who went into chemical engineering. AI was a teacher who managed to retire 17 years ag1 AI is a bachelor; maybe that's why he could retire so early. He plays golf, bowls, travels, is a Mason and a churchgoer. Right now he's ready to launch forth to Vancouver and the Canadian Rockies. Heard from our Hartford stringer, MIL RHINES. Mil ran into Trinity Athletic Director Rick H azelton in a convivial setting where the talk naturally got to Ray Oosting, long-time Trinity athletic faculty great. Talked about BILL SCULLY, our star pitcher who law switch-hit as statistician at Trinity home football games. Unfortunate路 ly, Bill is now ailing, but his son is doing the stars. Thinking about Bill stimulated Mil to call DON VIERING, not only our Class President Emeritus, but also Trinity College athletic committee member for 45 years. Don reminded Mil about our senio year when the baseball team beat both Princeton and Yale. Don was first -string catcher for four years, so good that NED MAXWELL, an excellent catcher for St. Thomas, had to play in the outfield. Got a note from BOB PILLSBURY and an illustrated brochure on the Lake Superior Center for which Bob is a principal fund raiser. In fact, he has raised $1 0 millior of the $3 1 million needed. I

described the Center in the November issue of the Reporter. BOB WHITSITI wrote to us. He's in touch with NORBERT PROULX, who has moved from St. Louis to San Jose,"CA. Unfortunately; Norbert is in the hospital now, but has recovered from strokes. Bob himself has recovered from two heart surgeries. And, of course, I talked with MARTY WOOD about the 55th Reunion. Marty had just come in from comet-watching. Where he lives may be isolated but he sure has a great view of the sky. Marty is quoted about the 55th in the latest communication from Trinity. He's coming, of course, and would like to see the maximum number of you there, too. Adios for now. Hope I saw you in Hartford in June.

BILL GREY writes to YOUR SECRETARY from his residence at 501 Joshuatown Rd., Lyme, CT 06371-3033, afrer transmitting a check to the College in support of '43's War Memorial Fund, as follows: "Better late than never. Hope you are well and in good spirits. O ur 55th is coming up in '98. Will look forward to seeing you and others there. Best regards. Bill." DREW BRINCKERHOFF, of precious memory, is called to mind by letter from his widow, Barbara Kane Brinckerhoff Reese: "Dear John: Thank you so much for relaying my check in Brinck's memory to the right source at Trinity. I think of all the good times we had with you and Elaine and hope all goes well for you and your family - extended a bit. "Brinck was the last of the Brinckerhoffs in his line of descendancy and now we have eight Brinckerhoff boys to carry on the name. Barbie is the only one with two girls. Peter in Californiadirecting, Bill in Denver with PaineWebber, your namesake John in Chicago with Donaldson,

Lufkin, Jenrette, and Barbie in Beverly; MA. So, I keep busy flying off to see them. "Do wish you and Elaine would stop by on your way to Florida and see us. Excuse stationery [CBS], but am still trying to get rid of it. "Love 'n' hugs to you all, Barbara." We will come one day, Barbara, ... promise. Brinck was a special friend and roommate in the Alpha Chi Rho house at 114 Vernon St. We also played on either side of centers FRANKFASI '42 andJACKFAY '43 as "running guards" on Dan Jessee's teams in the early 1940s. In fact, there was one day in practice when we ran into each other with near-disastrous results. DON VIERING '42 is able to give an hilarious recitation of this event which YOUR SECRETARY is unable to refute because he has no recollection of it. The appreciation of the Class and the College go out to Barbara for her contribution in Brinck's name. The alumni office has no current mailing address for the following members of the Class.

DONALD C. PAINE of Manchester, CT and his 20-yearold electric car are the subjects of a feature article printed in a Dec. 5, 1996 edition of The Hartford Courant. Tooling around Manchester when he's in no special hurry to get from here to there, Donald has no plans to trade in his 20-year-old vehicle "ever." Don says the car costs him about $20 a year to operate. It requires no tune-ups, runs without ignition, spark plugs, transmission, or gears. The frame is non-rusting aluminum. The body is plastic, and maintenance is mainly washing the windows. Don has owned the vehicle, a Citicar model made by Sebring Vanguard of Florida, since 1977. It originally cost him $1,600. It can go at 40 m.p.h. for 50 miles before needing a recharge. Named "Gatorade" because of its color, the car is often shown off at his grandchildren's school on "show and tell" days.

NOTES

After Trinity, Don earned his engineering degree from Yale on the G.I. Bill. A confirmed tinkerer, he claims that he has never had a serviceman at his home. He has repaired radios, television sets, VCRs, washing machines, and his furnace. The car is Don's special "baby," says Don's wife, Ruth, to whom he has been married for 48 years. She says that since Gatorade has nothing that will ever wear out, it meets Don's belief that "nothing ought to wear out." YOUR SECRETARY continues to receive notes from Trinity alumni (including people from other classes besides '44), speaking of the great value of a Trinity education. One such missive, from JAY GEIGER '50, speaks of those undergraduate days as "true learning times." He mentions the late GEORGE COOPER H'44 and Dan Jessee among those who "truly educated me as to what life was all about." We have also heard since the last Reporter edition from Class of' 44 members DONALD H. SHAW, C. JARVIS HARRIMAN, fellow Class Agents MERRITI (Moo) JOHNQUEST, BOB (RT) TOLAND, and Dr. HARRY GOSSLING, our Class President. Speaking of the Class of' 44, we are really proud of you guys for your continued support of our alma mater afrer the record-setting 50th Reunion Class Gift. The Annual Fund "highlights" bulletin lists our Class of' 44 among the five leading classes of Alumni Fund donors for 1996-97 to date. We have reached 85 percent of our annual giving goal as of the end of January 1997. Even on the basis of percentage of participation, we stand at nearly 50 percent as ofJan. 31. Thank you for your generosity and your loyalty to Trinity College. Last year we posted a 67 percent participation record, the highest oÂŁ the past 50 years and second-highest overall. If you haven't yet joined the alumni giving fund this year, please come aboard before June 30. And don't forget our special T' 44 Scholarship Fund targeting undergraduates from extended families who have never previously sent a boy or girl to college. And please let us hear from you about your doings and your families, too. Thank you, and be well. The alumni office has no current mailing address for the following members of the Class.

We were saddened by the recent death of our Class Agent, DREW MILLIGAN '45 (see In Memory). Drew's dedication to Trinity, and particularly to the combined Classes of'45, '46, and '47 will long be remembered. A number of Trinity alumni attended Drew's services at Saint Timothy's Church, where Drew had been an active parishoner and lector. Among those in attendance were: JOHN DALY '47, TOM TAMONEY '42, BOB NICHOLS '42, DON VIERING '42, JACK GUNNING '49, JOHN BONEE '43, "MUSH" GUILLET '43, and YOUR SECRETARY. We all extend our deepest sympathy to his wife, Madeline Ann. MARK LEVY '47 is enjoying his retirement from the practice of law. He rece~t!y returned from a Caribbean cruise where he basked in the sun on Barbados. He's now taken up skeet shooting. He's always been an avid fisherman, so now the birds have to beware as well.

Reunion '98: June

For those who entered Trinity through the Navy V-12 program, the cover photo of the Feb. '97 Reporter with the NavyV-12 band marching on the Quad led by KEN WYNNE precipitated a flood of memories and the impetus to pick up the phone and call Ken in Vero Beach, FL. We had a great conversation. It was just a year ago that his wife, Pat, died. So the days are different and thankfully he is close to his four children and grandchildren.

It is always nice to report on our Class members, especially those of us who have the best of both worlds! I enclose FRED POTTER's letter as an example. "I am now back in Saudi Arabia as the operations and maintenance director for Hughes Aircraft Co. on the Peace Shield Program with the Royal Saudi Air Force, maintaining and operating 17 radar stations and six underground combat operation centers. Couldn't stand retirement in Scottsdale, so when Hughes made me an offer I couldn't refuse, we carne back to Riyadh in May 1994 and have been here ever since. We spend our vacations in Europe and have a home in Greece, so when we finally hang it up we will split the year between Seattle and Athens. Still like to go to work in the morning so expect to stay

I talked with MERRILL CALLEN recently, who brought me up-to-date on his life and times. Merrill retired from Collins & Aikman last year and culminated _/ his last month on the job with a trip to Austria and other central Europe places. Since then he has been dividing his time between his

home in Charlotte, NC and his weekend retreat on Lake No~man, north of the city. He has always loved boats and sailing, and enjoys repairing and fine-tuning wooden boats. His personal choice for racing is the very fast Y-Flyer Class boat, an 18-foot scow which is very popular in the Midwest. The Callens have two daughters who live nearby- Lisa works at First Union Bank and Tori is a nurse with the Charlotte Medical Center. Finally, Merrill is taking a course on how to be a building contractor at Central Piedmont Community College. When he completes it he can get his license and become an official contractor (if he wants to). PHIL STILES wrote me to underscore the fact that he had attended our 40th Reunion last June, even though he was not present for the Class picture or the Friday lobster dinner. He had registered on Thursday, stayed on campus, but left on Friday for Bates College, where his wife, Elise, had a reunion. He was accompanied by the very much alive, JOHN SWETT, whose wife, Diane, also went to Bates. He made it back to Trinity for the Class dinner Saturday and chapel service on Sunday. On Feb. 1, my first art exhibition successfully opened in Washington and GERRY PAULEY was there, along with his wife, Anita. It was wonderful to see him and we路all went on to dinner after the opening at a lively restaurant on the Potomac in Georgetown. As you can imagine, we laughed most of the night. I called RON BOSS, in Westminster, CA (near Los Angeles). He was very upbeat and energetic, recommending the state of retirement without reservation. Ron was a pilot with American Airlines for about 30 years, flying Boeing 767s and 757s, mostly on domestic routes. Since retirement, he spends time enjoying the outdoors, swimming, and traveling, and refinishing old furniture. His two sons, Stephen and Jeffrey, have furnished much of their homes with his output.

Last night (it's early April as I write this), I took the lining out of my raincoat. This, along with its being light when I drive to New York, is an annual "upper" that I treasure more than just about anything that relates to work. And speaking of work, something that I must continue to do for a few more years, my division at The New York Times Company is being sold. By the time you read this it will have been sold and with a lot of luck, I may have found a new home in the process. It's a long story and not really appropriate for this column. But it does affect this set of Class Notes as I have been completely distracted and busy dealing with suitors, our investment bankers, and a host of other related, if not very much fun, areas. My notes are one of the casualties. Sorry. I did have the chance to talk with MAL BARLOW Many of you know that Mal has been a long-time biggie at SrnithKline Beecham Pharmaceuticals. His whole career has been there. In fact, as I write this, he is about to retire afi:er 35 years. Mal is currently VP of SrnithKline's government and industry affairs for the internationa! operation. In that capacity, there has been just about nowhere in the world that one would like to go that he hasn't been to; and, he is quick to add that he has been to lots of spots that he'd just as soon forget. I had to laugh when I asked Mal what he was going to do afi:er he retired. A common answer for most of us, of course, is "We are going to travel." Well, for Mal that is also the answer, but since he has traveled around the world for the last few decades so much, his travel will likely be to and through the good old U.S.A. Mal was quick to tell me however, that even the United States traveling had to be put somewhat on the back burner, as he has rejoined SmithKline for the next year or so as a contract executive to do some special project work as a consultant. Not bad... sounds a lot like having one's cake and eating it, too ... or something like that. When he does find time,

he will be scratching his wanderlust by traveling in areas that he has overlooked because of his work. Keep a Barlow watch out for him in the Napa Valley and Aspen. He'll be the one drinking the best wines. Mal tells me that he was with JOHN MCKELVY for John's 60th birthday recently and reports that it was a grand affair. John has recently chosen to step down from a long and successful teaching career and is spending a good deal of his time on his rather spectacular boat. Mal, again my source, tells me that John has made a number of transatlantic voyages on this boat, a Hinckley, I believe. John, if you ever are looking for a crewman to pull lines, I'm only a phone call away. Sounds like a wonderful way to spend some real quality time to me. And John, when you next put into Nantucket, call me and I'll give you an island tour, a cold frosty, and a shower! I roomed with Mal in Elton 312 our freshman year and catching up was fun. Another roomie of mine, who was also my best man a few years later, is JACK LAMOTHE. He reports in with some spectacularly good news on a couple of fronts. BARRETT (Class of'91) is now finishing up at Duke (Fuqua) and has met the man of her destiny there. She is tying the knot June 14. Both she and her fiance will be working in Boston so they will still be dose to the old folks. Still on the LaMothe dan, Jack's oldest, Kim, has just been appointed to the Harvard faculty as a lecturer in religion. Congratulations, Kim. That is truly extraordinary. I saw MICKEY LLOYD a coupie of weeks ago at Trinity. You may know that Mickey is hard at work raising money for the College in the Philadelphia area. And he is doing a great job. He also looks great. He was looking tanned and fit and generally ready for the next big push to find more of us who will step up to the plate and participate in the great and exciting activities going on at Trinity. If you have lost touch, I urge each of you to reconnect, fast. It is a wonderful story at your College these days. I have a little personal news to report as well. My son, RICK (Class of'91), is tying the knot on May 31. He is marrying a terrific girl and it seems likely that they will live in our general area of the world so Barbara and I feel very lucky. The wedding will be a pleasant memory by the time you read this and we will have two of our three children married and on their way. Talked with PETE JOHNSON the other day. He is a successful entrepreneur in Florida where he is the co-owner of Beachside Realty Management Group. Not surpris-

ingly, his business manages hotels, townhouses, and condos. Some of them are on the beach and a few are in the Orlando area. Old Pete's dearly not working too hard though, 'cause his handicap is a most respectable six. And with that he was complaining a little. Gimme a break. That's great golf, Pete. Any ofyou.who want to sample the southern life early ought to rent a villa next winter from Pete. He'll give you the special Bantam deal. Time to go for me ...l've got a division to sell. Sure hope I'm with the package! Stay healthy and happy, gang. And write or call me when you can. Until next time.

He encloses this headline: "It's great to see old classmates -if you can recognize them." Bruce runs a kite shop in Charleston, SC but reports that he still has time to enjoy the sunrise over Folly Beach from his Little Oak Island home. CARL ZIMMERMAN recently made his television debut, as the bell expert for a St. Louis show on area churches and synagogues. PETER KILBORN's daughter is

Reunion '98: June

Don't forget to come to H omecoming '97 on the weekend of Nov. 7-9 for our official 35th Reunion kickoff gathering. In February; you received a little signup card, covered by a letter from VIC KEEN, urging you to do some little part in putting together another great milestone gathering of our great Class of'63. If you have not already done so, please call Vic (215979-1945) or SCOTT REYNOLDS (860-297-2093) even at this late date, and sign up. Your participation will make a big difference. Lots of hands make light work. DAVE WICKS says, "It's great to be "back in the Northeast," if you

can call Long Island that. Dave made the move last summer from Houston as director, new media project management for Cablevision. This is a return to an industry which has labeled him as an industry pioneer for financing CATV in the 1970s. His boss, the vice chair, was quoted as saying that "David's business acumen'' (Kenny Cameron loved that word) "and industry knowledge will play a key role in helping us reach our customers with new and exciting services. ~ We are counting on you, too, Dave. CATV is long overdue on delivering new and exciting services. STAN MARCUSS wrote to say that he was co-captain of this year's Cambridge University Alumni Eight which won, for the second year in a row, over the Oxford boat. The 1,700-meter race happened on the Potomac just above Georgetown. Stan went on to report that wife, Rosemary, is an appointee on the DC Tax Commission, which has set out to straighten out DC finances. This apparently is a collateral duty for her, in that she is assistant director of tax at the Congressional Budget Office. Why is everything multisyllabic in Washingron except the word "tax''? Daughter, Elena, is now finishing up at Georgetown Law and son, Aidan, will be entering Dartmouth this fall. Stan saw STEVE HAARSTICK at the Annapolis Boat Show last fall. He uses Steve's sail company for his boat's sails and recommends Steve's services highly. Elizabeth and I had a nice visit with JIM and Lucy GOODRIDGE during our annual fall visit to the campus last Homecoming. Jim has set up his own financial planning group in Hartford afrer doing for others all these years. Several former clients moved on with him, including Stan Marcuss, who says that Jim is a delight to work with! All Trin alums take note and thank you, Stan, for all the endorsements. I voice-mailed SAM WINNER a few weeks ago to see if he and Julie could host my wife, Elizabeth, and me .overnight while I was near Del Mar for a weekend meeting. He voice-mailed me back that they'd be out of town, taking son, Sammy, to the Coast Guard Academy for a look-see and a possible football scholarship! Speaking of academies, both CHARLIE MCGILI.:s son, Charles, Jr., and LOCKETT PITMAN's son, Kyle, are at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis. Charles has been there many years and may have harassed Plebe Kyle sometime this past year. Would Charles do

anything like that! "Unthinkable," quoth proud dad, Charlie. Those who know Charles would tend to agree unless they knew his "old man" during his wilder days. KIRBY TALLEY called into the alumni office to report that he was married last Nov. 25 to Jane Siena. Jane is president, St. Petersburg International Center at Gelly Conservation Institute. We are assuming this is in Florida and not Russia, Kirby... So, can we expect that you and your bride will join us for our '35th? Speaking 'of brides - LLOYD REYNOLDS brought his new bride, Lee Darden, to Trinity last Homecoming. Lee is a delightful addition to our jolly Class family and more than makes up for Lloyd. But, Lloyd, you know we love you anyway, just the way you are! I have just gone back to work as a full-time employee for the first time in seven years, as director of real estate/network expansion for ICG Telecom Group, Denver, a new CLEC (competitive local exchange carrier) phone company, my fourth client afrer MFS, TCG, and NetLink. The work takes me everywhere east of the mile-high city; and my team members operate out of Dallas, Cleveland, and Columbus. I am still out of Boston and my boss is in Denver. Without Internet, e-mail, cell phone, a subnote book computer, pager, e-tickets and plenty of credit on my Gold plastic, I and my bag of clothes and files would never get through each week. While daunting, the challenge is fun and has become old hat by now. My wife, Elizabeth, barely misses me since she works long hours, full-time with explosivegrowth Molten Metal Technology, Inc., Waltham. We miss our children, but they call ofren. Daughter, Frances, was married last September to Patrick Delaune. They have a cat, a house in Austin, and will be getting a dog soon. Son, Jordan, is still searching for the right oyster, er.. pearl of a job. While in Austin for the wedding we stayed with Lockett and Sue Pitman. While we have kept in touch through the years, the last time we saw each other was in Chu Lai 31 years ago. So we had a great catch-up time. Lockett has just retired from IBM and is now reorienting himself into a higher plane for his next career. Courses and trips to Vermont have become part of the formula. More later. RICHARD TUTTLE was the subject of a review in the Feb. 16, 1997 edition of The New York Times. An exhibition of his work was on display recently at the main branch of the New York Public Library.

DICK GANN, chief of the fire science division of the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST), arranged for NIST to cosponsor with Trinity's engineering department the annual fire-fighting robotics contest held on campus in April. This was the first time N IST had co-sponsored the event, and its support helped underwrite some of the associated expenses. Dick's interest in the program grew out of his longtime friendship dating back to undergraduate days with DAVE AHLGREN '64, professor of engineering and department chair. Dick agreed to provide contest winners a trip to the N IST labs in Washington, DC, and he was a featured speaker at the event. NIST co-sponsorship gave a great boost to the contest which already had attracted considerable interest and attention nationwide. Thanks for your help, Dick!

spent several years as a postdoctoral fellow at Cornell, and then served 15 years as a faculty member in the department of biological chemistry at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore. For the past 10 years he has been chair of biochemistry and molecular biology at Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit. H e is conducting a major research program in the area of heavy metal and drug resistance, and travels nationally and internationally in connection with his research. In March he lectured at a symposium in Austria, and in April spoke in Canterbury, UK at the British Society of Experimental Biology's symposium on metals and genes. In addition, he actively collaborates with research groups in the U.S., Canada, England, China and Russia. Barry reports running into BUZZ GORSKY in Hawaii some years ago, and hopes to visit Trinity in the near future. T hanks for the update, Barry! In February, PETER STURROCK participated in a program on campus sponsored by the College's new Business Exchange Program designed to serve as a forum for the exchange of business information and ideas for alumni, students, and members of the greater Hartford community. Entitled, "Succession Planning for the Successful Family Business," the program addressed a number of planning issues related to family businesses. In January, at the College's request, YOUR SECRETARY agreed to prepare the final three chapters of the modern history of Trinity which will cover the College's development from 1920 to 1995. Co-authored by Dr. Glenn Weaver, emeritus professor of history, the manuscript's completion is scheduled for December 1997 with publication of the illustrated history occurring in late fall of 1998 in conjunction with the College's 175th anniversary. ANNE KNAPP M'76, YOUR SECRETARY's wife, is serving as research consultant on the project. T hat's all for now, and remember to keep me posted on news of note. T he alumni office has no current mailing address for the following members of the Class. Any information as to how the individuals can be contacted should be sent to Alumni Office, Trinity College, Hartford, CT 06106-3 100. Thank you.

Donald M. Bishop '67 is among seven U.S. Foreign Service Officers recently honored by the State Department for their work to end child labor in the garment factories of Bangladesh. .Assistant Secretary of State Robin Raphe/ cited the group at the American Embassy in Dhaka for '"forging an agreement" that ensured '"the welfare of underage workers." The ilccord, signed by the garment manufacturers and international organizations, provides for child laborers to be Identified, removed from the factories, and sent to schools. The use of child laborers as cutters, sewers, loom workers, and helpers in Bangladesh's garment factories had been publicized by human rights organizations and journalists. Because many Bangladeshi families would be forced by their poverty to find other, more hazardous employment for their children if they lose their jobs in the garment factories, the agreement also provides that the firms give the families a stipend, to cover some of the lost wages, and hire another family member. The garment manufacturers and the ILO provide the monthly stipend to students and UNICEF funds the schools. Giving the seven the State Department's Superior Honor Award, Assistant Secretary Raphe/ said they '"pioneered a groundbreaking alliance ... that marks an important milestone in efforts to eradicate child labor worldwide." An ILO official called the program '"the first of Its kind ever In the world." Bishop, counselor for public affairs at the U.S. Embassy in Dhaka, received degrees in history from Trinity and Ohio State University. Since joining tire Foreign Service in 1979, he has served in Hong Kong, Korea, Taiwan, Washington, and Bangladesh. In 1991 he was a Congressional Fellow on the staff of Rep. Chris Smith of New Jersey. His wife, Jemma, is a consular associate at the American Embassy in Dhaka; they have three sons.

SHELDON CROSBY and a partner have recently formed [ARC Architects in Avon, CT, and among its projects is the transformation of the former Hartford restaurant, Spencer's, into Corny T's, a combination restaurant, jazz dub, and dance dub. It is due to open this spring. Sheldon has an architecture degree from the University of Washington (he was once a coffeehouse owner in Seattle), and a business degree from Dartmouth. His first restaurant design was for a coffeehouse in West Hartford and his new firm is also designing Coach's and Cafe Noir, both due to open soon in Stamford, CT.

These notes should find you basking in the summer sun with thoughts of a Trinity Reunion fresh in your mind. In March (when these notes were written) our 25th Reunion showed the promise of many classmates returning to campus. One classmate who felt he would not be able to return did write to bring us up-to-date. LARRY SICHEL is a monk who has been

living in Buddhist temples in Asia, the United States, and Europe for about 20 years. He is now in Korea and will spend the summer on an annual three-month retreat. He sees himself in Asia for the foreseeable future. Closer to home, PETER WITTMAN writes that he has returned to Pennsylvania afrer his job in the paper industry brought him to New York City, Atlanta, Stamford, and Chicago. Currently, he is president of the New Jersey division ofWWF Paper Company, as well as the corporate executive VP of business development. WWF is the largest independent paper merchant in the United States. Peter brings three children (Meredith, 15, Peter Jr., 13, and Christopher, eight) to a new marriage with the former Suzanne Bloom (the wedding was Oct. 14, 1995). Hannah Curry, the newest addition to the family, was born on Oct. 15, 1996. Meanwhile, another industry, Standard Products Co., announced the election of RICHARD N. JACOBSON to the position of general counsel and secretary. Standard Products manufactures sealing, trimming, and vibration control systems for the automotive equipment industry (ifl understand the news dipping correctly) . Richard had previously served as the senior corporate counsel for The B.F. Goodrich Company in Akron and also had served in the legal department at Joy Manufacturing Company in Pittsburgh. Afrer Trinity, Richard graduated from Boston University School of Law. DEAN HAMER's name appeared in an article which addressed the question of whether our potential for happiness is genetically sealed. Dean is a psychologist who has researched happiness and heredity at the National Institutes of Health. The article quotes him as saying "... happiness is 50 percent genetic." Hopefully, he came to Reunion to explain his work, which sounds both fascinating and complicated. Finding out what everyone has done since Trinity is what makes reunions terrific. We are all strewn about the globe in a variety of professions which may not have even been a dream back in the '70s. Keep Trinity posted. In between reunions, it's great to read about you here.

BARBARA BROWN writes, "I fulfilled one of my lifelong dreams this past year - I went to Egypt. I took a cruise down the Nile, rode a camel, and experienced the Pyramids at Giza, even venturing inside two of them to the interior rooms with empty sarcophagi. The trip was all I expected and more. "Also took part in a very rewarding and happy occasion, as Trinity held a luncheon and reception for DR [MICHAEL) CAMPO '48, celebrating 25 years ofTrinity's Rome Campus and the Cesare Barbieri Center. I was the sole representative from the first class to spend an entire semester in Rome .... "Speaking of the Cesare Barbieri Center, I can't give high enough praise to the inspiring and entertaining readings and interpretations of The Divine Comedy, led by scholars visiting Trinity from throughout the Northeast, and sponsored by the C. B. Endowment for Italian Culture. Bravo!" SUSANNAH HESCHEL, an internationally respected scholar of religion at Case Western Reserve University, continues to teach rather than research and write fulltime. She says, "I have to teach. I can't not teach." Her authority on

Jewish feminism, Jewish-Christian relations, and the relationship of religion to the environment makes her a frequent guest lecturer, researcher, traveler, and writer.

The Class Notes for 1975 this time include a wonderful report on a heretofore-unknown 15-year card game. The following carne in from CHRIS LANE: "It has been years since I have written with any news, so I thought it was about time to send in a note. The most interesting news for me is that in October I won the 'Honest Hearts Trophy' in the 15th annual Trinity Hearts Club tournament. The four finalists, all Class of 1975 , were myself, JAMES GOMES (now living in Boston), TONY PICCIRILLO (having returned from England and living in Lyme, CT), and JEFF KELLER (who lives in Tenafly, NJ). I have actually won the finals three of the last five years, so I am on something of a roll. The finals were held at Jeff's house this year, and next year the plans are for holding the tournament on Cape Cod. "I have not seen any other Trinity alums recently, though I did get to chat with Drew Hyland when he carne down and gave an excellent talk at the Trinity Club in Philadelphia. As for myself, I have recently published a pair of guides on collecting antique prints (I am co-owner ofThe Philadelphia Print Shop, Ltd.) and have just had an article published in Mercator's World, an international publication on antique maps. I have also been asked to give a lecture at the Philadelphia Antiques Show next April, which is a nice honor as this show is considered by many to be the most prestigious in the country. "Looking over this letter I am embarrassed to have written so much of 'what I've done,' but I guess that is how news gets into the Class Notes. This awkwardness is why I haven't written in such a long time and probably won't for another long time. Anyway, I decided to write this, so here it is." As to other news, BOB ANDRIAN was reported, for yet another year, as a top soccer coach in New England. I drove by Bob's work place, the Loomis School, a few months ago on the way to a business meeting, and remarked on the quiet beauty of that old New England main street. [Editor's note:

hot and sour soup or prayers. On this night, the Rev. Emily Holcombe's mission was more physical than spiritual. There was a 78-year-old woman in crisis, a 15-year-old basketball player with a dislocated knee, a chronic alcoholic passed out in the cab of a pickup truck and a young man with a major traurna - his aorta severed after he was hit by a car. There were scared families to soothe, vomit to catch, legs to splint and intravenous tubes to insert in the arms of combative patients. There were strange stories to sort out at accident scenes. On Medic I, Stamford Emergency Medical Services Inc. ambulance assigned to Stamford Hospital, Holcombe was there to reach the sick and injured. Three or four nights a month, the associate pastor of Stamford's First Congregational Church sheds her role as a spiritual healer and responds to the call of 911. She dons blue chinos, practical shoes and a stethoscope to ride the ambulance as a SEMS volunteer. She is one of 50 people who supplement SEMS professional staff by serving as a third set of hands and medical skills on the ambulances for the private, nonprofit agency that provides

emergency medical response in Stamford. In her SEMS uniform, stocking an ambulance with medical supplies or sticking an IV tube into the arm of a semi-conscious man, Holcombe is all business. Her colleagues call her Emily. And there is little, outside of her soothing way with patients, that reveals the nature of her day job. "I may pray for the people I see here, but to myself," she said. "Usually; it's hours after I've seen them and I'm home and I think about how their lives have changed in a matter of seconds. Here, my job is to tend to their physical needs. If they want prayers, I can help with that. But it's only if they ask And usually the people who ask know me because they are members of my congregation." Holcombe became a SEMS volunteer six years ago, after relocating to Stamford from New Haven, where she had prepared for pastoral work at Yale Divinity School. Her rounds spent as a chaplain at Yale-New Haven and Saint Raphael's hospitals in New Haven influenced her decision to seek medical training. She described her 24-hour on-call chaplain duties as "five episodes of 'ER' rolled into one. "There were a lot of times when I felt like the best thing I could do for people there was to jwnp in and help deal with the

physical trawna," she said. The West Hartford native was once a litigator with a big Hartford law firm, but career disenchantment coupled with volunteer work in the oncology ward of Hartford Hospital confirmed a spiritual calling. "I knew as I was holding the hands of these very sick people that the place to go for me was the ministry," she said. "And once I was doing that, I got more interested in science as I spent time in places like the oncology ward, with renal (kidney dialysis) patients or working with AIDS patients. I could help with the spiritual stuff, but I felt like I could help them more if I understood what was happening in the physical sense." She squeezed in the 3 50 hours of training required to become certified as an EMT and, later, an intermediate EMT, which can administer more advanced lifesaving techniques. When she came to Stamford to take her first ministry assignment as an associate to First Congregational's pastor, the Rev. Gary Brown, she signed on as soon as she learned SEMS actively solicited certified volunteers to supplement its professional ambulance crews. "For me, it was a chance to get involved in a new community in an exciting and very different way. A lot of people think the need to contribute would be

filled by my pastoral work, but I'm paid for that," she said. ''I'm very comfortable helping people through prayer, but I'm also one of those people who thinks not everyone has to go to church to connect with God. This is a way for me to connect with people on a completely different level. I have a very strong sense when I'm doing it that it's a job that matters. " Holcombe also speaks with a high regard of other volunteers who, she says, "give much more than I do." "I am amazed at the nwnber of people who give many nights a month, despite careers and family commitments," she said. "I am in no way above average in my commitment." No time for dinner During her Monday night tour with SEMS Paramedic John Kalotai and intermediate EMT Karen Ann Simmons, Holcombe and the crew had plenty of helping to do. Their 6 p.m. shift started slowly; with plans to get a meal of Chinese fast food. Holcombe, busy running the church during Brown's vacation, had skipped dinner. Hours later, Holcombe and the crew managed a few sips of cold soup and sticky rice after mane~vering Medic I from emergency to emergency; with minutes to spare between calls.

on duty, 911 dispatchers had them en route to a house in Westover, where an .elderly woman was unconscious. Holcombe followed Kalotai and Simmons i,nto the house, hauling supplies and equipment. Because she is a volunteer, Holcombe is not adverse to playing the role of back-up on calls. "If it means I'm stocking the ambulance or working calming the family while they work on the patient, that's fine," she said. ''I'm comfortable with the more intense stuff, but I also believe my role here is to let the professionals call the shots." In the ambulance, she comforted the revived woman, telling her repeatedly she was not going to die. "You're conscious and speaking to me and that's a very good sign," she told the woman. "We're going to get you to the hospital very fast and you'll get what you need there." At the hospital, Holcombe asked the emergency room staff to try find the woman a doctor fluent in Italian. "She's new to the country and she speaks English, but she's more comfortable with Italian," Holcombe said. "Everyone who works the ambulance tries to help out with this kind of detail because we learn a lot about the patient." And though she defers to the paid SEMS staff to make the calls on her role at the scene, the crews say they do not view her as "just a volunteer. " Like many SEMS volunteers, Holcombe's partners on this night were longtime volunteers. Kalotai had been a volunteer for the former Stamford Ambulance Service (SEMS predecessor) and Simmons, now a full-time emergency room nurse at Stamford Hospital, was a

volunteer EMT with the Norwalk Emergency Medical Service for a decade. "I don't think of her as a volunteer bGcause I kn'ow her training. It's the same training I have," said Simmons. "I was nervous when I. started because I thought people might be a little nervous about the minister thing," Holcombe said. "But I think what matters to them is that I'm an EMT and I can do the job." A needed luxury Kalotai said in some large cities, a third person riding the ambulance is required. "It is very nice to have the extra set of hands and knowledge," he said. "When you think we're hauling 45 pounds of equipment into every call, maneuvering through traffic where people don't pull over and dealing with some very sick people, you want all the skill you can have in this vehicle." Moments after getting their 78-year-old patient into the ER, the crew was off again. This time, they arrived at Mickey Lione Park on Stillwater Road to find a scene that bordered on the surreal: A small car wedged between a tree and a fence with an unconscious man in the passenger's seat. A woman hovered around the crashed car, screaming the man was on drugs. But the man was covered with grass, rocks and glass, and there were no signs of damage on his side of the car. A check of his vital signs revealed he was in serious trauma, but the ambulance crews were at a loss to piece together the circumstances in critical moments.

Simmons relayed the details by radio to physicians at the hospital as best she could. "You want them to know what we're dealing with. It helps the trauma team get ready," she said as she maneuvered the ambulance on the less than 30second trip to the hospital. "But how do you explain the strangest things in the world?" The crew had no time for answers. They would later learn the man's aorta had been severed after he was run over by a car, but they left the why of it all to police officers. As soon as the mysterious victim was in the emergency room, they had another call. At the Yerwood Center, they had to splint together the legs of the 15-year-old basketball player with a dislocated knee. It was a delicate maneuver, intended to keep his inflamed knee stable while trying to transfer him from a bench to a stretcher. Outside the Stamford Hospital ER, Holcombe greeted relatives and directed them to the teenager. She grabbed her cold Chinese food and said, ''I'm beginning to think I should pray for a meal." Simmons insisted Holcombe down an orange juice to keep her blood sugar up. Good suggestion. The crackle of the radio told them Medic I was being dispatched again. Everyone laughed. This time the ambulance headed down Atlantic Street into the South End. There, a young boy on a bicycle waved them down and directed them to the cab of a . pickup truck, where a man lay unconscious. The boy had seen the man stagger down the

street, whack his head against a utility pole, fall, then climb into the truck's cab. He called 911 when he couldn't rouse him. Reeking of alcohol, his stupor seemed impenetrable. As they pushed him into the ambulance, Simmons and Holcombe lauded the young boy who stayed near the stranger's side. "You are a good Samaritan, " Holcombe yelled as she closed the cab. Enroute to St. Joseph Medical Center, Holcombe tried to give the man an IV infusion of vitamins, a common treatment for chronic alcoholics. As soon as she pricked his arm, the man roused, flailing his arms and protesting in a foreign language. Blood spurted and Kalotai and Holcombe spent the ride trying to calm their passenger and finish the procedure while Simmons slowed the ambulance and warned of bumps and hills. "No good," Holcombe said, wiping her brow as the ambulance pulled into the bay. After he was safely in the emergency room, Holcombe returned to the ambulance and spoke with affection of the young boy who found their !atest victim. She was struck that she never learned his name. "In just a few seconds you meet some incredible people on this rig. That kid should be an EMT. I'd like to find him and tell him that," she said. "You see some bad things, but you see some really good things, too. Plus," she said, lowering her voice to a whisper as she reached for the bag of ignored Chinese food, "You can't beat

NANCY MCDERMOTT is featured in a full-page American Airlines "Legends of Business" advertisement running in NCAA sports programs; the ad is printed on this page. OLIVIA PAINE was named "Volunteer of the Week" by The Annapolis Capital on D ec. 22, 1996, from which the following information is taken. Olivia Paine is a volunteer whose dedication has enhanced the programs of several local organizations. Twice per week from October through December, Olivia gives her time to the Anne Arundel County Holiday Sharing program, whose mission is to match donors with clients, or "adopting a family," during the holiday season. Olivia enters information into the computer system to match organizations and individuals with families. She also spends time on the telephone assisting people who need help or information, and finds someone who can make a referral when necessary. Holiday Sharing, says Olivia, is "really consistent, conscientious and kind," and is always looking for a way to improve their mission. Olivia is the co-chairman of the membership committee for the Jones Elementary School Parent Teacher Association, and an assistant coach for boys' soccer and lacrosse. She is also a board member of the Epilepsy Association of Maryland, for which she recently served as co-chairman of ''A Date with Martha Stewart" at the Baltimore Convention Center, which raised $118,000 for epilepsy programs, including a camp for children with epilepsy. The Epilepsy Foundation, says Olivia, is "always interested in seeing the organization move forward." YOUR SECRETARY has recently passed the baton on the position of Hartford Area Phonathon Chair and assumed a voting position on the Trinity Club of Hartford Executive Committee.

CHARLOTTE MILLER MCCARTHY writes that she ran the New York Marathon in November and finished in the top 10 percent of all women in the race and in the top 10 percent of women in her age group- 30-39, with her time of three hours and 53 minutes. Charlotte says that running and finishing the race were among the most exciting things she's ever done. Charlotte also competes regularly in triathlons, having completed seven as of her correspondence date. She plans three or four more this summer and fall and hopes to run in the Boston Marathon (this spring). When she's not running, biking, or swimming, she continues her free-lance public relations consulting and is very active in the lives of her three children, Billy (10), Phoebe (eight), and Hanson (three). I hope I spelled all those correctly, Charlotte. Charlotte writes from Glyndon, MD. DAVID ROSENBLATT, an environmental specialist with the Boston law firm of Burns & Levinson, appears in the 1997-98 edition of The Best Lawyers in America.

Greetings, Class of 1981. Like the comet Hale-Bopp which I can see passing outside my office window, 1997 is flying by. Spring has bloomed here in central Virginia after a mild winter. I hope the rest of you had a chance to thaw or dry out from the winter of 1996. Those I've heard from have tackled the winter doldrums in unique ways. LISA (HALLE) HUNT moved off to San Marin County in California, married John Hunt, and is working as an advertising consultant. Now that's living! STEW BECKWITH decided to relive his 20s and bought a four-wheel-drive Wrangler for some off-road driving .. in Washington, DC?? STEVE GIBBS, a former South Campuser and old baseball colleague of mine in the Trinity and pre-Trinity days dropped by with an electronic message that he's doing great and finally learning to use the electronic media. ALEX MAGOUN writes that he has "effectively tripled" his income by leaving his part-time post as college archivist in Philadelphia for a full-time position as nanny to two nieces in Chappaqua, NY. He continues to work on a dissertation on the history of the phonograph record and will return to the D.C. area in September. Via the print media, the alumni office sent me a dipping from the Boston Globe with a feature story on ERIC TRURAN and his wife. They apparently have become small business icons, creating a "Courierware" shoulder bag which they produce in Vermont. Eric had only blessings for the Trinity sixyear undergrad program. YOURS TRULY is busy working and trying to climb the academic and administrative healthcare ladder - the patient-care part is fun and exciting, the administrative quite the challenge. Speaking of challenge - I challenge you all to forward some news about yourselves for the next issue of the Reporter. Good luck and stay well in '97.

Greetings. The e-mail thing really worked - I had news from so many people I hadn't heard from before. I encourage all of you to use e-mail to send me your news and news of your fellow classmates. Before I begin, I apologize to STEVE TALL. Something happened with the e-mail software I use (it isn't the first time) and I could tell the message was from Steve, but I couldn't ever open it. So I apologize, Steve, that your news isn't here. I encourage you to send it again. First, from NEIL SCHNEIDER. Anne and Neil gave birth to their second daughter, Katherine Anne, in November. "Older sister, Madeline, is coping with the new addition to the family as best as she can. (I think she really wants her new sister to visit her grandparents on a more permanent basis!)" Neil was full of news: ANDREW LOFT and his wife, Carni, live in the San Francisco area and had a baby boy, whom they named Ty. Neil was bubbling over about LORRAINE SAUNDERS WHITE's wedding last summer where he caught up with lots of classmates, including NANCY KATZ, KATIE VANWAGENEN, LINDA KAPNECK BROWN, Andrew Loft, MARC SELVERSTONE, and MICHELLE ROSNER SAUNDERS. Anne sang at the wedding and was accompanied by Marc Selverstone on guitar (how long it's been since those days of rockin' out to "Katy Lied" and "Dialogue" in Elton ... ). NICK DEPPEN and his wife, ALEXA BERLOW '86, have a new baby boy! Isaac Berlow Deppen joined them last July. "This is our

first child and we are coming to grips with parenthood. " ~exa has continued working part-nme as a planner for a local city government and Nick is international sales support manager for Data I/0 Corporation, a manufacturer of semiconductor programming equipment ("finally a job that takes me back to China!). We are approaching six years in Seattle and continue to enjoy it. " As usual, NANCY KATZ wrote with a great story, and I'll use her words, because you can just see it happening ... "So there I am riding up the ski lift in Alta, UT on a triple lift. Me on the right, Paul (my husband, oh my god) in the middle and a stranger on the left. It's snowing, we're wearing goggles and hats - bundled to the nines. And, we're having a friendly chat up the lift with our new friend. Minutes from the end of the ride up the mountain, the conversation turns to employment and our stranger tells us he works for Travelers and parenthetically says, 'I'm sure you've never heard if it.' I say, 'Well, I went to school in Hartford, so I know all the insurance companies.' He says, 'Did you go to Trinity?' I say, 'yes' and we simultaneously lean forward to see if we know each other. Not only do we know each other, but we're in the same class. 'Ed!' I scream. 'Nancy!' he screams. Yes, ED MCGEHEE. We didn't get to chat much because he was skiing off to meet a friend and the lift ride was over, but wonders never cease." The ever-conscientious AMY SNYDER FORMAN is in touch, thanks to the help of a new household computer. Aside from the addition of the computer, Amy and Adam have a new baby. Olivia Madeline was born last September, and joins two older brothers, Joshua (five) and Ethan (three). Amy reports, "It is hectic, but wonderful." Amy and Adam built a house in Swampscott, MA right next to her parents' home in Swampscott. "It is wonderful to finally have some space after living in a two-bedroom condo. We have no furniture yet, so our boys have plenty of running room!" Finally, a word from MATT GOLDING, who secretly moved back to the West Coast after finishing business school and havinga baby. Matt is doing the markenng thing at Mattei, working on Mattei Sports "which includes classic toys like Frisbee, Hula Hoop, and Hacky Sack, as well as wacky and wild Wham-0 stuff" Matt is trying to convince everyone that "although it's a toy company, it's still work!" Yeah, right. Dawn is working a few days a week at a local nursing

CLASS

home, and Rebecca, their daughter born in 1995, is doing more every day. Matt reports, "she's saying hi to everybody and getting good at doing cow and duck impressions!" I guess she takes after her father and his fine liberal arts education. SUSAN PLACE GIORDANO wrote about a year full of changes. Brave woman, she got married Oct. 13 (yes, Friday the 13th), 1995. Happily, she and her husband, Gary, had their first baby (Grace Ellen Giordano) last July. "Grace has been the joy of our lives, although this working mother stuff is a lot harder than it looks. " Susan can be found in Hartford, where along with hanging out with Grace, she is a business systems analyst in the patient accounts department at Hartford Hospital. Susan sees JANICE ANDERSON all the rime since she works two floor-s away. "It's hard to believe it's been 16 years since our days on first-floor Jarvis as freshmen." Susan's e-mail address is SGIORDA@ HARTHOSP.ORG. TOM DASILVA wrote, roo. Tom is working for Kaiser Permanence. If you're limping around these days, Tom's your guy - he's doing foot and ankle surgery- hard to believe that he's been doing it for going on seven years now. Recently, he stayed with IAN MCFARLAND at his home in Honolulu. "He [Ian] is doing well also, and looking for teaching positions around the country" after recently completing his Ph.D. The alumni office notes that ANDREW YURKOVSKY returned from a Fulbright Fellowship in Slovakia, where he writes that he was studying the situarion of that country's "RuthenianUkrainian minority." Andrew is enrolled in Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs. His focus is on the history and politics of eastern Europe and the newly independent states of the Soviet Union. All is well in the windy city. I'm not here much as my job still takes me to Asia on a regular and frequem basis. So, send me an e-mail or I'll catch up with you on a transpacific flight - I really could run into Nick Deppen (thanks to his e-mail, I know). Please stay in touch and let me know your news. The alumni office has no current mailing address for the following members of the Class.

I remember an occasion late in our senior year when I found myself in the computer lab in the middle of the night trying to help my roommate retrieve her thesis which had somehow become "lost" in the computer. Why I was trying to help is beyond me since I was still hunting and pecking on my old IBM with the broken "H" in those days. Anyway, someone carne to our aid and here I am, years later, reasonably computer literate. All this is my long-winded way of saying "aren't computers great and don't you love e-mail." Thanks to all of you who heeded my call to the computer and sent so much great news and also to those who did it the old-fashioned way. So here's what some of you have been up to lately. BROOKE BALDRIDGE married Scott Whitham (UConn Class of'81) on Oct. 4, 1996. She and Scott honeymooned at the Outer Banks Invitational Craft Brewers Festival in Manteo, NC. Scott is an owning partner of Rock Creek Brewing Co. of Richmond, VA. Brooke is still a systems analyst for Media Computer Systems in Raleigh where they are both VERY active members of the Raleigh Jaycees. MIKE DUFFY was profiled in February in Mosaic, the campus newsletter, and that article is reprinted here. Mike has been pursuing politics in Massachusetts since 1990 and in November 1996 was named director of the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation. He "has become a highly visible figure at the formerly low-profile agency." KAREN REVALVY LEJEAL wrote twice, once to say she was

expecting her third son who would join brothers, Matthew (five), and Ryan (three). Karen and her family are still living in Colorado and very much enjoying the skiing out there. In August, Karen visited with MELISSA BROWN NEUBAUER and ROBIN BOWMAR RABIDEAU on Cape Cod. Melissa had her second daughter, Tessa, in May. Tessa has a big sister, Hayley, who is t.hree. Robin brought her three boys, Nichols (seven), Michael (five) and Brett (three), and was pregnant with her fourth, Amanda Charlotte, who was born in November. Karen had her third son, Evan Downing, on Feb. 15, 1997. Congratulations to Karen, Melissa, and Robin on all those new babies. More good news on the baby front. KATHLEEN O'CONNOR BOELHOUWER and husband, Marc, welcomed their first child, Alexandra Margot, on Nov. 26, 1996. And on Dec. 12, 1996, JULIE BREENE ZIEBOLD had her third, a son, William Townsend. MATTHEW MOORE says "my career is my life." He is v.p. sales and marketing for a niche-market entertainment company in Los Angeles. Matthew has seen the company grow from three to 40 employees in under three years. He enjoys living in L.A., travels a fair bit, and encourages anyone traveling through to look him up. What a great update from REX and suzy DYER. They are kept very busy by their two sons, Rex Richard (three and one-half) and Graham (one). Suzy decided to stay home with the boys after Graham's birth last January. She had previously been an Assistant U.S. Attorney. Rex is still in home textiles manufacturing in New York City. They recently had a great reunion dinner with ANGELO LOPRESTI and his new wife, Ellen, and were also joined by ANNETTE BOELHOUWER. They are also in touch with TIM RAPTIS. Tim and his wife, Jennifer, just had their second daughter, Kelsey Merritt. Rex also hears from JOHN PICONE and his wife, Maureen McCormick, who are living in the San Jose, CA area. John took the California Bar exam this summer and is with a growing firm in San Jose. JEFF KISE just graduated from Drexel University with an M.B.A. in finance and information systems and has just started as director of finance and operations for Medical Care Management Systems. Jeff's sister is applying to Trinity for the Class of'Ol. '01, doesn't that make you feel old? PATRICIA MAXON and her husband, Dave Zaumseil, had a

daughter, Kealey Anne, on Nov. 28. They are living in Telluride where Patricia is a manager at First National Bank of Telluride. Her husband is a director for the ski company, Telluride Ski & Go!拢 Not surprisingly, skiing is a big part of their lives and it's been a great season. MARC CHABOT was out recently for skiing and "spa-ing." I'm not sure what spa-ing entails, but it sure sounds nice. I heard from MIYUKI KANEKO at Christmas but she threatened me to not print anything she said, so I'll just say she is still well, still an attorney, and still in New Jersey. STEVE O'BRIEN wrote to say he is living in Boston, pursuing a master's in real estate at M.l.T. I saw a TV interview with an actress, Laura San Giacomo, duriug which they showed a dip of her new sitcom, "Just Shoot Me," and who do you think was the actor in the dip? Our own CHRIS HOGAN. Well, Chris, if you read this, write and tell us about this TV stuff. Well, that's all the news. Thanks again to everyone who wrote and 路 congratulations to all the new moms and dads. Our new baby, Will, is five-months-old now and sleeping through the night, so this mom is starting to feel like a human being again - hooray! Hope you're all well! The alumni office reports that TYLER JONES served as general manager of the Connecticut Pride, a professional basketball team in the Connecticut Basketball Association which has been recognized as the developmental league for the National Basketball Association.

Catching the political gauntlet in midair

o say that Michael Duffy '85 enjoys challenges is an · understatement. His first run for public office makes that perfectly clear. In 1990, in a district in Boston where Democrats outnumber Republicans by a 10-to-1 margin, the then 27-year-old Republican newcomer challenged a four-term Democratic incumbent for the 9th Suffolk District seat in the Massachusetts House of Representatives. After feverishly campaigning, he g~nered an impressive 44 percent of the vote, but lost the race. In the process, how€ver, Duffy gained public recognition, the atten- . tion of Republican Governor William F. Weld, and the · opportunity to make his mark on public service in the Bay State. Losing the 1990 election only whetted Duffy's political appetite. He hopes someday to run for Congress. In the meantime, he is facing, and surmounting, new challenges on behalf of the Massachusetts' citizenry as an appointed official. In 1990 when Governor Weld riamed him chairman and commissioner of the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination (MCAD), he faced a backlog of some 6,000 · employment discrimination cases, limited funds, and a dwindling staff. He turned the agency around by reducing the time required to resolve case investigations, instituting an innovative alternative dispute resolution program, and pioneering the use of undercover investigators. "It was tremendously satisfYing to be able to get people reinstated to their jobs with ~back pay' and dam• ageS for distress, and then see" " their faith in government restored," he claimed.

He has gone on to face other challenges. Following Duffy's success at MCAD, Governor Weld named him director of the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation in November of 1996. He is charged with protecting the interests of consumers and overseeing agencies that regulate insurance, utilities, racing, doctors, banks, and liquor sales. He has become a highly v:isible figure at the formerly low-profile agency, cautioning residents on dangers ranging from Super Bowl ticket fraud to the illegal sale of liquor to minors via the Internet.

The realm of ideas and debate Until the Florida native carne to Trinity, he remained on the sidelines of politics, he says, content to read about the latest issues in the newspaper. His vicarious participation ended when he enrolled in Political Science Professor Clyde McKee's freshman semmar. "Professor Mc:Kee is someone who encouraged his students to get actively involved in politics," Duffy noted. He took McKee's advice to heart. While at Trinity, he registered as a Republican and served as a research assistant in the Connecticut Legislature and the British House of Commons. "I gravitated naturally to the realm of ideas and debate," Duffy remarked. When he could not find a vehicle for his conservative political views, he started

The Trinity Observer, a conservative student newspaper, with his friend and roommate, Lee Coffin )85. Professor McKee remembers Duffy as a person "who took the opportunities at Trinity very seriously. His activities on campus led him to appreciate the excitement of politics and public policy. He's doing things that are very important," McKee said. Recipient of the G. Keith Funston Prize in Economics, Duffy graduate_d Phi Beta Kappa from Trinity, earned a master's degree in public policy from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard in 1987, and served as

challenges, though not always of a political nature. Just as Duffy has evolved politically from a conservative to a progressive Republican, he has evolved personally; he says. Prior to running for office in 1990, he informed his parents that he was gay and ran as an openly gay candidate. "The process of coming out is a gradual one. It happened over the years I was in college and accelerated when I was at Harvard," he said. Duffy believes that providing Trinity's students with a supportive environment is important, and in 1995 he cofounded Trinity's Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Alumni Association with Caitlin Dean '89. With support from Eugenie Devine, the College's director of alumni relations,

.finance director for Connecticut Congressman Christopher Shays' first bid for Connecticut's Fourth Congressional District. He later worked for the Massachusetts Republican Party· as communications director. . Evolving personally Of his political careerand the challenges he has taken on, Duffy readily admits, "I do identifY with the underdog, with people fighting an uphill battle." He continues to face

they a:re working to build interest in the organization and to improve the campus climate for gay students. Duffy hopes that ultimately the group will help to recruit gay students and establish a scholarship fund for them. "Trinity contributed to making me who I am. My roots in politics go back to Trinity." he said. "I really owe the school a lot."

Hi folks. We have a pretty good passel of news this time around, thanks in large part to a telephone conversation I had last night with PEG HARGRAVE BERRY. Peg and her husband, Dave, welcomed their daughter, Delaney, into the world in February, and are loving their new status as adoring but exhausted parents. Peg had news on several '86ers, including my former French House roommate, LISA IANNONE DORAU. Lisa recently received a promotion at the recruiting firm of Hobson Associates, and now manages all recruiting activities for the firm. Congratulations, Lisa. She and her husband, Dave, and five-yearold daughter, Jayna, live in Southington, CT, and as Peg reports, they keep themselves busy with a variety of home-improvement projects. They are currently working on remodeling their kitchen. Lisa, Peggy and I are both impressed that you guys are doing all the work yourselves! I bet you still do an hour of Jane Fonda every morning, too. MARIA GARCAO is also living and working in Connecticut. Maria works as a conference planner for MassMutual, now located in Hartford, and she and her husband, Bill Gallagher, recently bought a house in Simsbury. Not far down the road are TOM MADDEN, wife PHEOBE ('87), and dog, Fitz. Tom and Phoebe uprooted themselves from Greenwich to West Hartford late last year when Tom got a job, practicing securities law with a Hartford firm. (Sorry, Tom, Peggy didn't know which one. She did say that it had a couple of names in the tide, which of course narrowed things down considerably.) They have settled in a delightful old carriage house, Pheobe is teaching part-time, and Fitz is evidently adjusting well to the move. Another Connecticut teacher and dog-owner is ELLEN LYNG,

who teaches biology and physics at Darien High in Darien, CT. Ellen, husband, John Dunn, and dog, Pooch, live in Fairfield, CT. Moving beyond Connecticut, SANDYTARULLO-JACOBS is now living in Gahanna, OH, and working in the insurance industry. Sandy and her husband,Doug, had their first child, Coby Joseph, in October. Congratulations, folks! Even further to the west is GREG CARTER, who began coaching swimming at the University of Wisconsin in August. Greg, drop us an e-mail. We want to know if it's still freezing out there in Madison, and whether you've taken up ice fishing. The news is also good from BILL PFOHL, who e-mailed us from Mt. Kisco, NY, where he is the pastor at the United Methodist Church. He and wife, Pam, have been there for four years, and are kept very busy with their church and community activities, not to mention twins, Billy and Josh (three and one-halD, and Nate (15 months). Bill reports appreciating his proximity to both urban and rural excitement. He enjoys New York City, but also gets out to the Appalachian Trail, averaging about 100 miles of hiking each summer. Sounds like you're leading a very balanced life, Bill. Did you get to any Trinity basketball games this year? The Trinity alumni office picked up some news on the wire about JUSTIN LILLEY, who has just moved from his job at the Washington, DC law firm of Halprin, Temple, Goodman & Sugrue to become the telecommunications counsel to the House Commerce Committee. According to the article in "Roll Call," Justin will be working on telecommunications as it applies to public policy, corporate, and regulatory affairs. Congratulations on your new position, Justin. It seems like an exciting time to be involved in those issues. Drop us an e-mail to let us know how it's going. Justin, you might run into TOM SHEEHY over in the halls of Congress. He was recently appointed staff director of the House Subcommittee oq Mrica, of which his boss is the chair. Tom and wife, ELIZABETH HESLOP SHEEHY, are both excited about the move, since it brings them back into the Mrican Embassy social circuit, of which they were a part when Tom worked on Mrican issues for the Heritage Foundation. The alumni office received a copy of an article in the Feb. 5, 1997 edition of the WOrcester Telegram & Gazette. The article describes a special Valentine's Day

As I sit down to write these notes, it is hard to believe that I have been doing this for five years. But with our lOth Reunion just finished, this will be my last edition of Class Notes. Hopefully, you will u路eat your next Class Secretary as kindly as you did me and keep the information coming. The notes are very boring to read if there is nothing to read about! So with a sentimental mist in my eye, I commence ...

I received another great note from ANDREW CONWAY. I had given an update in a previous Class Notes but by the time of publication, just about all my news on Andrew was yesterday's news. So here is the updated version. Andrew completed his M.B.A. at the London Business School in July 1996 and then moved to New York City in August, where he is continuing his new media consulting practice. Andrew is also now an associate of the Institute for Technology and Enterprise at Polytechnic University. Andrew works partly from his home on the Upper East Side and partly on client sites in "Silicon Alley'' downtown. His sister, AMY '91, and her fiance, Amid Capeci, live upstairs (Amid's sister, CLAIRE, graduated from Trinity in 1988!). Amy writes for Martha Stewart's Living and Amid is an art director at

Newsweek. Now that Andrew has returned to the States, he's been catching up with many Trinity friends. JAMES MURPHY and his wife came to visit, as did JOHN DUGGAN and fiancee, KATHY GRAHAM. Andrew also has seen MEREDIT H LYNCH, and run into KATHY NEMSER several times. Andrew has a new website at http:/ /home, dti.netfaconway for anyone who'd like to say hello. Thanks for a great update, Andrew. I also received a great update from ELISSA PERRY. She has accomplished so much since graduation, but here is the Reader's Digest version. Elissa received her master's and Ph.D. degrees in organizational behavior and theory from Carnegie Mellon University in 1991. She is currently an assistant professor in the Institute of Labor and Industrial Relations at the University of Illinois and has been there since graduation from Carnegie. While at Carnegie, Elissa met her husband, Phil, who works for a financial trading company in downtown Chicago. Currently, Elissa commutes between Champaign (where the U. oflllinois' main campus is) and Chicago on the weekends. Elissa says the commuting arrangement is an interesting one as they currently have two of everything, but it seems to work Elissa is up for tenure in the fall of '97. Elissa provided some good update on other classmates. JULIE BERSON received a certificate in museum studies/museum education from Tufrs University. She is currently the education outreach coordinator at the Addison Gallery of American Art, as well as an independent curator. Jul ie is living in Newton, MA.

Ph.D. in cell biology. She lives in Brookline, MA and is currently working as a postdoctoral fellow at Beth Israel Hospital. Last but not least, STEPHANIE LIPKA lives in Watertown, MA and works in the admissions office at Harvard University. Thanks for the news, Elissa. I received a great letter from my long-lost friend, ERICA LEWIS CAHILL. Erica and her husband, Kevin, had a beautiful baby girl, Gretchen Bennett, in January. They still are in awe of their little one and can't believe she's actually theirs. Kevin and Erica are living in Acton, MA, only 15 minutes from where Erica grew up. Erica is still a consultant for Arthur D. Little in Cambridge, but is on maternity leave at the time of this writing. Her job has her traveling quite a

bit, sometimes to exciting places like Russia, but most of the time to Texas and Michigan, so she is hoping to cut back a little on her return to work in April. Erica is also trying to finish her master's degree in civil engineering at Tufts. She began the program four years ago and should finish this summer if her thesis is not the death of her. Upon completion of her degree, Erica would like to get into industry, "some type of manufacturing (food, pharmaceutical, or consumer products)." . Erica keeps in touch with a few Trinity friends, including SARA .MAYO, BETSY BOTHWELL STEPP, and JULIE QUIGLEY. She reports that all are doing well and expanding their families. So good to hear from you, Erica! ROBIN SCULLIN sent news

Geoff...,.

ftom the nation's capital. Robin is currently working for C-SPAN and was fortunate enough to have gone to the White House to tape a BOOKNOTES interview with President Clinton hosted by CSPAN chairman, Brian Lamb. Robin enjoyed her trip to the White House but was totally bummed that she didn't get to meet Socks. But with that blow aside, she has spent the past seven months researching and writing a book that will be published by Times Books at Random House in May 1997. It's called BOOKNOTES; Stories of

writing from C-SPAN's Author Conversation Program by Brian Lamb. Besides work, Robin has been catching up with numerous Trinityites, including KARIN BENNETT MICHELETTI '86,

Todd,..,

SARAH OMAN '86, and DAVID and LISA MCNAMARA HUGHES, who have two little girls. See you at Reunion, Robin! LIZ BURNE completed her M.S.W in May 1996 at UConn School of Social Work. She is currently training her springer spaniel puppy, Lionel, to be a therapy dog. She plans to use him for humane education programs which create awareness and eventually break the cycle of violence that includes children, adults, and animals. Liz has also been racing mountain bikes and was seventh in beginner women at the World Cup at Mount Snow last June. Keep up the good work! PAM SIAFLAS recently called to say hello from Hamburg, Germany. She sounds like she is doing great and she and her husband, Phil, are

CLASS

expecting their first baby. MURPHY recently caught up with ED MEYERCORD. Ed is working for Tel Save Holding, Inc. Murphy and I were lucky enough to host a very funny evening for a number of Trinity folks when BIZ '88 and PETER VOUDOURIS came to visit us in January. Peter and Biz brought along their two sons for the weekend, and LISA CADETTE DETWILER also stayed with us with her daughter, Charlotte. So for two exciting days, we had five children under age four in our house. Wow! When ISABELLE PARSONS LORING showed up with her daughter and new baby, George, there were seven under age four. It was like a daycare center, but fun, we think?!? Also joining us for the evening were Suzie and JOHN MONTGOMERY (who are expecting their second baby this summer), GINNY SPAHR KEATOR '88 (mother of two girls), PAM INGERSOLL, and Bret and JENNIFER BREWSTER JORDAN '88. We all laughed so hard! It was a very fun get-together. It also proved to be fruitful for my Class Notes. I learned that BOB EDMUNDS and WENDY

SHELDON are both engaged to be married. ROB and KATHERINE GODFREY BEEDE are redoing a house in Acton, MA. VIC and DEDE DEPATIE CONSOLI '88 had a baby girl, Olivia, in December. SCOTT ZOELLNER and his wife are expecting their first child in June. STEPHANIE LEVIN opened a pottery-painting store in Baltimore. LAURA DANFORD is the head of public relations in New York for Castle Rock Entertainment. TRACY MORGAN MANTHOUS has a little boy, George. And I think that was it. The alumni office learned that WILLIAM MANSON works as a background painter at Disney. After Trinity he went to the Art Center College of Design at Pasadena and then went on to coloring comic books and teaching art classes. As for the vanderVeldes, all is going well. My boys are growing so fast (they're four and two) and were among only a handful of people who actually enjoyed the April Fool's Blizzard of '97 that put Wellesley under 30 inches of snow and left us with no phone for four days. I was back in the hospital in March for another surgery, but with

that behind me and an encouraging second opinion from the UPenn Cancer Center, things are going well and I feel terrific. While in Philadelphia, I was lucky enough to get together with DR. INGRID KOTCH ROWLAND and her husband, Michael. They are doing great, although the residencies are keeping them quite busy. Other than that, I don't have much else to report. But for one last time, I will ask the famous question .. .Where are you PAUL ASTLE, RITA COLASACCO, MARY GIURLEO, PAM KATCH, DOUG KIM, SUZY MURO, CINDY PHELPS, JACQUELINE POU-RIVERA, and REED WHITMORE?

Robin Scullin '87 got to meet President Clinton when she went to the White House to tape a BOOKNOTES interview with the President as part of her wolfe for C-SPAN. See '87 Notes for more on Robin's meeting.

As usual I have to begin with a complaint that the mail doesn't seem to be rolling in to me for the Reporter. However, I did hear from a few new voices who received the March issue and were inspired -

to you I say, "thanks!" My recent travels, along with a quick e-mail solicitation, provide the bulk of the 路 news this time around. For next time ... send me e-mail and not only can I save it to report on, but I can put you on the list for contacting when I write my report each quarter. You can reach me at Wendy_Goldstein@ittsheraton.com. Thanks to my e-mail pals this time around- JOANNE PALANDRO, LIZ CAHN GOODMAN, ANNE MONGILLO, LISA GODEK, TARA LICHTENFELS GANS, and KIRK BRETT!

KEVIN ROBINSON was recently married to a German native and is living in Frankfurt. Reports say Kevin is now fluent in German and is consulting in Istanbul. HELEN HEINTZ married Doug Roedel on Dec. 28, 1996. LISA ALVAREZCALDERON is enjoying married life with husband, Kevin Cox, and hard at work already trying to get us involved in Reunion plans for next year! (Can you believe it will be our tenth!?!) She is still working at Cigna, and is based in Philadelphia. News from New Parents: KARENSONNONE McANDREW welcomed Thomas Patrick on Feb. 21, 1997. CINDY DOKAS WHIPPLE had her first child, Alec Douglas, on Feb. 19, 1997. ANDREW WAXLER and wife, Laurie, have a new daughter, Abigail Rebecca, born on Oct. 23, 1996 (actually, they're not new parents .. .Andrew and Laurie also have a son, Eric, who is two-years-old). A note came in from my long lost friend DEDE DEPATIE CONSOLI! She and husband, VIC '87, just had a little baby girl - Olivia Carson- on Dec. 17, 1996 and are loving the family life in Stamford, CT. Dede has been the national sales manger for Nautica Women's Sportswear and spent the last year launching the new line and traveling a great deal. She sounds extremely happy at home with Olivia, so we'll see if Dede doesn't just take an early retirement. Good to hear from you - and congratulations. News on New Jobs: Joanne Palandro is happily settled in Los Angeles at a literary agency, and working her way to becoming an agent. I was fortunate enough to visit with her and fiance, Keith Freedman, during my last West Coast trip and it was great to catch

up. Keith and Josie are living in West Los Angeles and enjoying the climate compared to Massachusetts! She also seems to have lots of "brushes with fame" out there, but I didn't see any celebrities when I visited! However, I did have a brush with Trinity during my visit, when Anne Mongillo surprised me as a 30th birthday treat and we all went out for margaritas in Santa Monica to celebrate. Anne is still living in Seattle and working for Immunex a5 a project manager. She says that she is working on an HN PRJ Outreach/education program and she is doing a lot of national and international travel to meet with AIDS opinion leaders. Anne reports that the job is challenging, rewarding, and exciting! MARY AMBROGIO is with a law firm in Hartford (I don't know the name), where she took Cindy Dokas Whipple's position (those Trinity ties really do work!). In my neighborhood I ran into CHRIS CLONEY, who has moved to Boston and is working at the Boston Stock Exchange. He says he finally gave up teaching and is "going for the money." He lives in the city's South End. ERIN CLARKE has moved to Philadelphia as manager of communications and community relations for Amtrak. RUTH TAYLOR is budget director for The Guggenheim Museum and has been to Europe quite a bit this year. KIRK BRETT reported via e-mail that he and wife, LAURA ULRICH, and 21month-old Alison Connelly are still living in Larchmont, NY (Westchester County) - and both are still practicing law. Kirk has joined Donovan, Leisure, Newton and Irvine, specializing in creditors' rights, commercial bankruptcies, and workouts. Laura is working part-time at Willkie, Farr & Gallagher in litigation. Follow-ups: I got to catch up with Lisa Godek in December here in Boston. She has left Ann Arbor, MI and moved to Pittsburgh to finish her Ph.D. by the end of 1997 (still from U. Michigan). She hopes to present a paper in Krakow this summer on gender differentials in adult mortality in Eastern Europe. She reports that JOHN BURKE took a new job in sales with ADP. He will be based in Connecticut. TONY DENICOLA was interviewed on CBS's "60 Minutes" in November. Tony has his M.S. in forest ecology from Yale and his Ph.D. in wildlife ecology from Purdue University. He has founded a nonprofit wildlife consulting organization called "White Buffalo." World Travels: NANCY BARRY visited DOROTHY SALES in the

Ukraine last year. Dorothy is still with the Peace Corps. Nancy and Dorothy went to Kiev, Lugansk, Moscow and St. Petersburg. Nancy also went to Helsinki, Finland. Dorothy would love some mail, and has asked for her address to be listed. All you wannabe pen pals, drop her a note: Dorothy Sales, P.O. Box 204, c/o U.S. Peace Corps, 25001 Kiev-1, UKRAINE (e-mail: dtsales96@aol.com). Mysteries: I got a letter from someone who said their update was confused with WARD BRIGHAM in the last Reporter- but didn't sign their real name to the letter! I think it may have been from REBECCA WARD YARROS (sp.?), but couldn't read the return address. Please identifY yourself next time! Whoever it was now works as director of the Episcopal Church's Resource Information Center in New York and is learning to speak Japanese. Another mystery is where so many of our classmates have gone. I'll be instituting a new feature to the column, "where are they now?" - thanks to the Class of '87 update for the idea. I'll ask about some people I haven't heard about or from in years which may inspire them or someone who knows them, to report in ...Where are BRUCE HAUPTFUHRER, MARCUS MIGNONE, BETH COTTONE, BETH TERRY, ADAM PIACENTE, ROBERT LINDGREN, KRISTIN POLCI and LIBBY MEEKER? Give us an update ... That's all I have for now. Keep the information coming! The alumni office heard from PARSONS WITBECK '82 who sent the following write-up ftom the "Names & Faces" section of a recent Boston GLobe: "Wendy Goldstein might not top the list of 'Who's Who in Boston,' but her caricature has just made the wall of the Palm. Goldstein, who works for ITT Sheraton, used to be PR director at the Westin Hotel (next to the restaurant), so Palm general manager Damian Palladino presented her with the portrait for her 30th birthday last month." Yes, this is Trinity's own WENDY GOLDSTEIN! The alumni office has no current mailing address for the following members of the Class. Any information as to how the individuals can be contacted should be sent to Alumni Office, Trinity College, Hartford, CT 06106-3100. Thank you.

Don't let old friends drop too far out of touch. Pick up the phone, write a note, search the Internet, get back in touch with good friends from your time at Trinity. Just think: almost everyone in our class will be 30 by the end of this year. The world may be getting smaller, but time ticks on. Slow yourself down a little. Get back in touch with a roommate, team member, fraternity brother, sorority sister, or freshman seminar classmate. It's good for your Kharma. If you need help finding someone, give us a call or drop us a note and we'll get any information we have back to you. (Off soapbox!) ALLISON BROWN (of Seattle) is working in the legal department of Adobe Systems Inc., a computer graphics software company (PageMaker, Photoshop, Illustrator, PageMill, etc.). GAIL BELANGER (of Somerville, MA) is reported to be teaching funny songs to elementary school students. VINCENT DINOSO writes that he is still at the University of Chicago working on his Ph.D. in classics. He writes "My dissertation is about commentaries which St. Augustine wrote on the Psalms and the influence that his earlier study of pagan grammar had upon them. Pretty dry stuff at times." E.G. WOODS writes that all is well with him, but the skiing days "have been fewer and farther berween than I'd care to admit." I can understand that feeling. E.G. was married to Karen Sander Burgess last summer in a wedding attended by a fair number of Bantams including BILL MONAGHAN and CARL PIER, who were in the wedding party. SUSAN DIXON has been teaching Japanese iri Hawaii, and it was there that she and her husband, Curtis, were married in February. The site was "a medium-sized plantation, at the foot of towering green and brown volcanic mountains; beautiful lush greenery, plants, and amazingly huge bright red flowers.

Susan wore a beautiful dress of white lace and Curtis looked handsome in his black tux. He smiled all day from ear to ear!" NANCY FRIELINGSDORF (of Chicago) is engaged to be married and the wedding will be June of'97. Her fiance, Bill, is an attorney, and Nancy is teaching high school. BRYAN HAUPTFUHRER (of Pittsburgh) is attending Carnegie Mellon University's business school, the GSIA (Graduate School of Industrial Administration) . JONAS KATKAVICH and his wife, Kate, recently purchased a PC and have entered the information age. Jonas e-mailed that "our son Jack is growing like a weed (he'll be three in June)." YUICHI LEE and YANI KWEE (ofN.Y.C.) gave us quite a few updates in a recent e-mail. They are enjoying the pleasures of the city, but are looking to leave in search of a quieter home in the 'burbs. Yani is still with JP Morgan, and he is with the in-house counsel for a major Long Island insurance company, defending the fine cab drivers of that great metropolis. Yuichi told us of several honorable mentions that never made it to the Reporter: "Last May, KATHY ELLIS was wed to Kelvin Leung. They met at their former place of employment, Citibank. Presently, Kathy is an officer working for The Standard Chartered Bank. In attendance were bridesmaid, DEIRDRE NES, who also works at Standard Chartered, MARGARET COUGHLIN, who is still with the I.R.S. in Hartford, SUE CURLEY, a Ph.D. candidate in school psychology at the University of Rhode Island, and THAVONE VORACHACK WASHER and DAVID WASHER '87, now proud parents of rwo girls. A month later, in June, JASON MANSKE was married to Stephanie Carney in Saratoga Springs. Jason is now a vice president with JP Morgan as a swaps marketer and is still living in Brooklyn with his lovely bride. "STEVE and LIZ ROSANO FRANCIS have presently moved back to Massachusetts after a short stint in Columbus, OH. Both are working for GE in Pittsfield, MA, the former home of our now beloved President ofTrinity. They are the proud parents of rwo crazy short-haired pointers that can't stop licking and slobbering people to death. AVACHAI TAYJASANANT (AT) continues to have his long-distance relationship with ARUN DULEEP TAYJASANANT '92, (although they are married now). He is presently an Asian equities trader with Montgomery in San Francisco. Arun is finishing her last

CLASS

semester for her master's at Columbia University. Afterward, they plan to reunite in San Francisco and live happily ever after.... finally. "JULIANA RAMIREZ is still with Merrill Lynch, but has been seen traveling between the Bahamas and Miami, where she is based. She gave up her Boston apartment and decided to seek a life of sun worshipping. ED WONG is finishing up his last semester of his M.B.A. at Yale University. Ed was a cheese head this summer in Wisconsin where he did his summer internship. "JULIE LOWRY (of Hartford) got a job in underwriting a few months ago, and loves it! She writes, 'I'm now divorced (those of you who know m e, know why,) and am having a lot of fun with the folks around town. My new hobbies are horseback riding, eightball, and softball. (The only one that I'm ANY good at is horseback riding.)"' MATT and Marilyn MAGINNIS welcomed baby Kaitlin on Aug. 29. Her brother, Christopher (turning three in July), is very happy to have a little sister. He was quoted as saying, "baby sister Katie cute," soon after she was born. Matt is graduating from Babson business school this May. During our summertime visit to the Boston area, we stayed with Matt and Marilyn and got together with ANDY WARREN and his wife. Andy is working for a software firm in Boston after returning from a year spent working in Israel. CRAIG RASMUSSEN came to dinner out with Rob's parents and some relatives and actually survived! H e was on his way to convincing us to take up skydiving. Maybe summer '97? Razz is working for GeoTel, northwest of Boston. BOB MARKEE (of Cleveland) is STILL working on his master's thesis, and temping temporarily. Bob remains king of e-mail. We are confident he is gathering information for his next Reporter installment. In fact, he's just given us a preview.. . here's Bob: "I've been bad about writing anything for the Reporter, but I have to mention this one since you (Rob) have asked about old roommates missing in action. The weekend of March 8, I drove to New York to attend the 30th birthday party of SEAN DOUGHERTY. I arrived in Manhattan that Friday and went out with IAN MURPHY '90 and SETH LIPTON for the evening. Ian is still working for H arper Collins and is doing well. Seth is working as a paralegal and living near G ramercy Park.

"The following day I drove up to Westchester County for the birthday party. A number ofTrin people attended, including GINA LETELLIER; DANA SKINGER (whose married name I don't know, but they just had their first child this past year); JENNIFER EDMONSON (who married a Class of'88 person, Everett something, which I know doesn't help but perhaps you have his name somewhere" (Editor's

note: EVERETT's last name is SUSSMAN) " - the reason I want to mention them, particularly, is that Everett and Jen are expecting their first child); ED PAQUETTE '88, who is working for the Hartford AIDS Project after leaving Aetna thi~ past year; and SUE KLUIBER and her hubby, LIAM O'SULLNAN '88, who have moved up to Massachusetts and are now hunting for their first home. "The surprise guest for me (and the reason I'm actually telling this story on the 'roommates-at-large' theme) is that DANIEL GOLDBERG (whom I haven't seen in many years, unfortunately) and his lovely wife of one-and-one-half years attended the party. Dan is a lawyer now and living in Pelham, NY. He and his wife met their first month at Pace University's Law School and got married a week after graduation, at which graduation Dan graduated first in his class. Funny; I never remember his doing any schoolwork in college. Hmm .. .. "The other surprise 'guest' in a way was former '89er DAN CONSOLATORE, who is spending this year at the Sorbonne but managed to videotape a birthday greeting and sent it from France. Dan is graduating from Columbia this year. ''As for the guest of honor, SEAN DOUGHERTY is working for Edelman Public Relations firm and is looking and feeling well. He hosted the party at his parents' place in Westchester and they (the parents) wisely fled town beforehand so we had the place to ourselves. '~er that, I drove up to Hartford for the Sunday night and visited JULIE LOWRY, who beat me at pool (belying her claim that she is no good at that one of her hobbies) and said she is starting to look into buying her first house. ''I'm writing this from work so I've been brief and at some point I'll write a more lengthy description of whom I've seen and what they are doing, bur for now, take care." Thanks again, Bob, for your great updates. You have a nomination (and a second) for Class Secretary after 1999. M ICHELLE MONTI has fin ished a graduate degree in commu-

nications and is working for Intermedia Services in Watertown, MA. Michelle produces slide shows and videos for clients all across the country, and was recently working in Miami and Scottsdale. She wrote that SCOTT and Alexis LALONDE bought a house (Michelle's not sure where, but she thinks they live in New Jersey); CHRIS FISHER is living in Milton, MA; and Renaissance man STEVE WHITSON is "honing his skills as a pool player and gourmet chef" Michelle also asked after her three roommates: "MARY SABATINI RAMETTA, are you still teaching? AMY HEEREN, are you still in Boston? CAITLIN DEAN, where are yo u?" Mary (of Glastonbury) wrote us that she is doing well and is teaching Spanish at South Windsor High School. Mary, her husband, D ean, and their black lab, Sydney, eagerly awaited the arrival of a baby in June. We heard from Caitlin Dean, who found our web site amongst the expanding clutter of the Internet and dropped us a note. (So far we're tl1e only class with a site! It's at http://www.trincoll.edu in the alumni pages.) Her e-mail address can be found on the Trinity alumni site with a few other pioneers. LIZ OSTERHUS (of Evanston, IL) has been with the American Academy of Pediatrics for over a year now and is a program manager for the "Medical Home Program for Children with Special Needs." She and her dog, Tucker, are staying out of trouble (this is done by staying away from Zeus, the rottweiler next door!) and enjoying life in the Midwest. CARLA BRINI PELLEGRINO (of Branford, CT) e-mailed that she is "still at the same job - a senior associate research scientist at Bayer Pharmaceuticals, and I still like working in the lab!" She and her husband, Tom, were married on "the only nice Saturday in September," and have lots of guest updates. Tom, by some huge coincidence, was roommates with JEN COLE JACOBSEN's husband, Scott, while they were at Fairfield University. Small world! She writes "Jen and Scott are expecting their first child in early March, and are really excited. KAY M CGOWAN is in Seattle finishing up her pediatrics residency, and spending lots of time with her long-time boyfriend from Vancouver. I was so touched that they both traveled so far for the wedding. LIZ CHAFFIN just accepted a very prestigious job as a physical therapist with the WT.A. (Women's Tennis Assoc.). Liz is moving to Tampa, FL in early February to start her new position, but apparently she'll be hopping

around the globe with this new position. DANA MONTEFIORE was also at the wedding. She's doing well, and has acquired a passion for scuba diving! I also saw CHRISTINE LUTZ GELINAS, who has a beautiful new baby daughter named Charlotte." When BARBARA SCUDDER (ofN.Y.C.) isn't enjoying a fine meal in her cubicle at PaineWebber, she is training for the Leukemia Society of America's marathon to be held in Alaska this June. Good luck, Barbara! Hope you can enjoy the longest day of the year. Barbara recently celebrated her 30th birthday which we unfortunately missed. The last party at Barbara's had a small army of'89ers, including STEVE BRAUER, STEVE BELBER, MIKE STRASSMAN, and SAM KOSTER. Steve Belber is writing plays in N.Y.C., and I believe Steve Brauer is producing plays. JENNIFER HALL got her Ph.D. in clinical psychology in 1994 and she is in her third year as an assistant professor at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, FL. She writes, "I recently attended the wedding of KATHLEEN URBACH to Samuel Fuller. They're living in Boston where Kat is the art buyer at a major advertising agency. Also at the wedding were STEVE COYLE '90 and JEAN HAMANO LOYLE, who recently bought a house in Longmeadow, Mass. Also attending were Bill and JUDITH BROWN STAHL." Judy had a baby girl, Kathleen Grace Stahl, in May 1996. SHANNON O 'CONNOR finished up a two-year fellowship in Madison, WI and moved to D enver in July 1996. She is working on a research project examining fam ily factors in adherence behavior of children with asthma. GINA ZARRA BLUM recently became the Trinity Club of Fairfield's President. Way to go, Gina! DAVE HOWER and KATRYNA NIELDS '91 are still going strong with their band, "The N ields." They were described by The Hartford Courant: "The Nields seem unspoiled by success. Not bad for a band that combines the crunch of granola with the blast of an M-80." Their record label, EMI Guardian, will re-release their song,"Greta," in April with two new tracks. EMI considers this to be a promising single and plans to bring the band to L.A. for a recording session. Good luck! JOHN PENDLETON has been a felony prosecutor in New Hampshire, dealing with domestic violence and child abuse cases for the past three years. During this

CLASS

time h e helped the Shaheen-forGovernor campaign (NH 's first female governor!). He just joined the Boston firm of Cetrulo & Capone. There he joins other Trinity alumni, ANNETTE BOELHOUWER and CHRIS SMITH. John is married to Sarah Pendleton and lives in Salem, MA. lAURA THOMAS STANDARD was married in June 1996 in Vermont and is a counselor at rwo Burlington-area schools. She finished her counseling degree at UVM last spring. MICHAEL MILLER is working in Boston for Fleet National Bank as vice president for commercial banking. H e bought a house in Acton where he is living with his girlfriend, Lauren, and her fouryear-old son. KATE ROY SULLNAN, has completed her Ph.D. at Boston College and is now a doctor in clinical psychology! "Yea!" She's also the proud mom of Emma, an adorable baby girl, (now one and one-half years old). MIKE VANDERBILT recently returned from a year-long trip around the world, and reports all is fine. BOB VINCELETTE is living in New Hampshire. SAMANTHA KOSTER is moving up at Citibank in N.Y. C. She is working with the Citibankl American Airlines Advantage card marketing program. JENNIFER KEHL is with Bankers Trust in N.Y. C., working in the human resources group. She has recently taken up tango lessons, adding to h er dance repertoire. She could show Al Pacino and Arnold Schwartzenegger a thing or rwo! KATIE SHERR BOGART has accepted a position with Gregori International, a worldwide developer of large scale landscaping projects, such as horse and dog tracks. Katie and her husband, Pierre, are in their second year in Toulouse. News from your co-secretaries: CIORSDAN CONRAN got a new job recently, working as executive director of a development association for Hudson County's Hudson River waterfront. It's the first time she's working for the "other side" (i.e., non-historic preservation type jobs) but she is seeing what it's like to do some good from the inside of the "evil development empire." So far, so good. No Darth Vaders yet. It's right in Hoboken, so she can walk to work. Her husband, ROB CUMMINGS, has been working with John Cummings & Partners since August 1996 and loves the flexibility and the satisfaction that a huge company never seemed to have. He just landed his first major client (Perrier) for their DBM/

SCAN tracking service, and JC&P looks to be headed towards its best year of its eight-year existence.

I am writing this during a flight from Houston to M iami, which is the usual altitude at which I am able to catch up on my correspondence these days. Basically, since accepting a position with William M. Mercer, a human resources consulting firm, I live in Washington, work in Philadelphia, and have an apartment in H ouston, where I will be working for the next 10 months on a project. I have acquired great

packing skills and tons of frequent flier miles, but have few person-toperson conversations because of my commute(s) . Since I work out of the Philadelphia office, I have had several opportunities to seek out Trinity alums in the area. Last week, I caught the Flyers game with ANDY NEWCOMB, PETER ST PHILLIP '90, and ERIN CLARKE '88. We spent most of our time catching up and reminiscing, rather than watching the dismal performance occurring below on the court. Peter has recently moved to N .YC. to work on the NASDAQ case, and Erin works for Amtrak, a mode of transportation to which I am becoming quite accustom ed. Looks like I am not the only person with a new job: JOHN ClAUD has just started working for the committee which is investigating the fundraising practices of the Democratic Party during the 1996 election. MISSY CUELLO has parlayed her clerkship into a job as a public defender in Danbury, CT SCOTT MATTOON and his new bride, D awn, will be moving to the N.Y.C. area where Scott will teach while Dawn attends Yale (what - she couldn't get into any ofTrinity's graduate programs?). As for engagements and births: Engagements: MARK RUSSELL and KARA MOLWAY, STEVE SPAULDING and ANDREA HIRSH ON, and ERIC TAUBENH EIM and KELLEY CAMPBELL...talk about a Trinity connection! AMY (WILSON) and T IM JENSEN '90 are the proud parents of a baby girl, Georgia, who was born on March 9. My apologies to little Gaines Semler whose birthdate was printed incorrectly in the last issue. His actual birth date is Oct. 4 and, according to his mother, lAURA (GAINES) SEMLER, he is fast emerging from his "blob stage." JOHN GREGORY is engaged and has moved to Sydney, Australia where his fiancee has recently accepted a job. The alumni office reports that Rick and M ICHELE WILLIAMSBOVELL are the parents of a son (see Births). H e weighed in at eight pounds and rwo ounces and was 21 and one-half inches long. DR. KEISHA JONES assisted in the delivery. And speaking of moves: CHARLIE CRISSMAN has moved from Montana to Boston where he is employed by Executor's PGI, an event-planning group. Charlie is coaching youngsters to run and hopes to find the first prekindergartner to break the sixminute mile, one of Charlie's life-

CLASS

long dreams. As he is getting "long in the tooth," he is living vicariously through his apprentices. ANDY NEWCOMB and Charlie traveled to Nantucket where Charlie ran the Nantucket Marathon. Charlie is also planning on running the Boston Marathon in April. Andy, however, is not planning on running any Marathon. Also in Boston is DAVE PAYNE, who is working for Conduit, a software concern. ROBIN HALPERN writes that LINDA IVEY has moved back to N.Y. C. after finishing all but her dissertation for her history Ph.D. from Georgetown. She is starting to do all of her research in the Big Apple, but will eventually go to California for hands-on research. Linda and Robin went with DOUG BUTLER and a few other alums to see JOHN COCKRELL perform stand-up at a comedy club. "He was great!" John hopes to become a regular at some of these dubs. Robin also writes rhat she was at the annual President's reception along with Linda Ivey, ANDREW HALPERN, FRANK MONACO, BILL BRICK, and Eric Taubenheim, and that JEN MORAN was a big help planning the winter alumni party (with Skidmore and Bowdoin). BILL RYKMAN joined them for the party and was instrumental in getting a great band, "Deep Banana," for the night. Robin has seen THEO ANTONIADIS a few times on the street. He is managing a great restaurant in Midtown called Mangia and is still pursuing a career m musiC. LONNIE STEWART and KIM MARTH were at a party that RICHARD COLEMAN '90 hosted. Doug Butler and Linda Ivey were there as well. AND REA HIRSH ON and Robin saw TRACY GOODRIDGE recently. She and Chris are still in Atlanta and will be there for at least one more school year while she finishes her M.B.A. at Emory and he finishes his Ph.D. in physics at Emory. EVE and JON KNAPP are both busy at their hospitals in San Diego, but find time to come east once in a while. Eve tells Robin that PEGGY FLYNN TAYLOR had a baby boy! SEANA HAYDEN is still in L.A. and told Robin that she went to the Trinity Club of L.A. President's Reception last month. The Trinitones were there with President Dobelle and Director of Alumni Relations Eugenie Devine. And graduations: FRAN SCHWARZ graduated from Smith College School for Social Work in August of 1995 and

is currently working with children and adolescents in Chapel Hill, NC where she lives with BARRETT LAMOTHE. Barren will receive her M.B.A. from Duke in May of 1997 and will wed a Duke classmate in June of this year. And classmates in the news: The Hartford Courant Sunday Magazine ran a spread on The Nields, a band the majority of whose members hail from Trinity: KATRYNA NIELDS (vocals, guitar), DAVE CHALFANT '90 (bass), and DAVE HOWER '89 (drums). The group's label, EMI Guardian, will re-release "Greta" in April with two new tracks. The label considers "Tax Girl" a promising single and plans to fly the band to Los Angeles for a recording session with celebrated producer Paul Fox. And one can't help hearing MARY MCCORMACK's name everywhere, what with rhe success of her series, "Murder One," and her starring role in Howard Stern's movie, "Private Parts," which is now in theaters. According to one article, Mary confided in a friend that she was worried that starring in a Howard Stern movie would ruin her movie career. Her friend said, "What career?" and Mary rook the part. The movie is hilarious and Mary is superb in her role of Allison, Howard's wife. Mary has also appeared in such series as "Law and Order" and "The Wright Verdicts," and the films, "Miracle on 34th Street" and "Backfire!" GINA LUCAS, CINDY CURTIN and Linda lvey went to the premiere of Mary's movie at Madison Square Garden and Linda accompanied Mary to the taping of her appearance on rhe David Letterman show. And more: ROBIN COOK works as a head-hunter in Philadelphia. TINABETH PASSARO just bought a house in Alexandria, VA and works for GO PAC. LIBBY (STING) MILLER has two beautiful children and is very busy raising them with her husband, Bob, in New Canaan, CT. KATHERINE (HEWITT) CHERIAN is a physical therapist in New Mexico where she lives with her new husband, Sabu. Lastly, a little humor: You know you are a child of the '80s if: you had ringside seats for Luke and Laura's wedding; you know who shot J.R.; this rings a bell: "and my name is Charlie. They work for me"; you're starting to believe that maybe 30 isn't so old after all, and it's those people over 40 you have to look out for; you freaked out when you found rhat you now fall into the "26-50" age category on most questionnaires; "Schoolhouse

By the time you read this, Reunion '97 will be but a memory... and a happy one, I certainly hope. DAVE GERBER and I have been doing our best, and hopefully it all will have paid off And maybe, just maybe, a successful Reunion weekend will encourage more of you to send news in to the alumni office for Class Notes! It's been a while since many of you have written in, but fortunately we did hear from a few of you ... Just in time before my pressing Reporter deadline, I received a lovely note from LAURA PETROVIC, who lives in Albany and is a sales manager at the Albany Marriott. Laura had happy news to share: she and fellow '92er, BILL DAILEY, are engaged to be married, and are planning a September 1997 wedding! Bill is getting his law degree from Albany Law School and an M.B.A. from Rensselaer's School of Management. Let us know how the wedding goes, Laura, and be sure to send a picture in to the alumni office! LINDA BERNSTEIN also dropped me a note with the following news: she finished up her master's in healthcare administration at ~he University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill in May, after having spent three months working and doing research in Israel. Linda also reported that MICHELLE JASPER is living in New York City and working towards her Ph.D. in school psychology at Yeshiva University. And LESLIE SOLER '93 is an attorney with ITT in Hartford. In other news from the alumni office, CRAIG BRAMLEY is now a practicing attorney in Maine; he joined the trial firm of Berman & Simmons in Lewiston last fall. CHRISTIAN R. JOHNSON was recently promoted to associate at Chase Securities, after three years as a senior analyst in the acquisition finance group. Christian is planning on attending Tuck (Dartmouth's business school) this fall, in pursuit of the ever-popular M.B.A. DRUMMOND BOORD received his commission as a naval officer after completing Officer Candidate School in Pensacola, FL. I saw AMY (CHIODO) ALLEN recently; she and her husband, Bill, now live in Boston. Amy works at Harvard in development, and I met up with her while she was in Hartford for a Trinity alumni basketball game. I also saw Amy again in New Haven, when we both visited MIKE and BETH ALLEN. We had such a good rime that it really made me look forward to Reunion

CLASS

weekend. Wish I had more to write, but Reunion efforts have been taking up a lot of my time and have resulted in my slacking off in the gossip department, I'm afraid. Thanks, by the way, to all those who volunteered with Reunion efforts, and especially to KAREN ISGUR in the alumni office! The alumni office has no current mailing address for the following members of the Class. Any information as to how the individuals can be contacted should be sent to Alumni Office, Trinity College, Hartford, CT 06106-3100. Thank you.

Reunion '98: June 4-7

The time has finally come when your old-fashioned CLASS SCRIBE, heretofore firmly anchored in 1980's technology, has entered the modern age of communications. Welcome, fellow classmates, to the first edition of our Class Notes gathered almost exclusively from e-mail. In keeping with the spirit of e-mail, the means of correspondence for the '90s (And beyond? Is it possible that 2000 is knocking on our door?), I will make this edition of the notes as random and disjointed as possible, since e-mail typically removes context and meaning from a message. Another problem with e-mail (Technophobe? Certainly not I. A traditionalist? Perhaps.) is that it robs the message of all intonation and expression. Thus, it is nearly impossible to guess whether we are dealing in fact or fiction, or have encountered sarcasm or sacred truth. E-mail does not require the thought or sentence construction of a lener, nor does it require the spontaneity or expense of a telephone call or (gasp) of an actual face-to-face encounter. However, it does seem to facilitate or encourage communication in some form, which for my purposes (varied and suspect as they are) can be good. Now, after completely shanering the credibility of the words to follow, I shall get on with the notes,

but not before my quarterly disclaimer, this time with a new twist: if you don't see your name here, it's because you haven't called, written, faxed, or (the twist) e-mailed me or the alumni office. Here is your chance: jonathan.heuser@fritz.com. Nothing too offensive, please this is work, after all. On with the show... The winter 1997 Gatherings, newsletter of the Trinity Library, revealed the following: THOMAS ZAHAREVICH, assistant cataloger, has earned a place in "the annals of bibliographic record keeping." During a routine assignment, Tom discovered that "appropriate subject heading for many of the organisms in the series had never been included in the Library of Congress Subject Headings, a bibliographic tool used by thousands of libraries worldwide. Following extensive research, Tom submined 17 Subject Heading Proposal Forms to the editorial comminee at the Library of Congress' Cataloging Policy and Support Office." Sixteen of the headings were approved, and the 17th referred to the Smithsonian for further study. Apparently, it became controversial when no one could decide to classifY the heading "Leuvenia" as plant or animal ... And what have you done today? Go,TZ! Congrarulations are also in order... KATE SHAFFER stunned us all with the announcement that she is engaged to marry her sweetheart, Kevin. Former roommate and current friend, SUSAN OLSEN, informed me of the news, and was knocked for a loop herself - imagine how Kate must have felt ...Susan continues to star at Citicorp in N.Y.C. Weddings, weddings, weddings ... WILL BRECKENFELD married Jamie Hyde in Essex, CT last Dec. 22. Will continues at Villanova Law School, and Jamie works in the ad department of the Washington Post. Class of '93 guests at the wedding included ED KISSELL, HARRY COHEN, and RACHEL GOLD. STEVE HOOKER '92 also attended. JAY AKASIE, who turned in the goods on Will, made it to the wedding as well, and had some pretty exciting news of his own: he is now Gainfully Employed (audible sigh of relief in Kensington, CT). The company which made such a leap of faith is Forbes Magazine, which has employed him as a reporter. Whom did Jay run into his first day on the job, but publisher and former Presidential hopeful, Steve Forbes .. . Jay has recently become active in the planning ofTrinity Club of

NOTES

New York Young Alumni activities, and turned in a glowing review of the annual Winter Ball, co-hosted with Bowdoin College after Middlebury and St. Larry's backed out. CASSIE BURNS, AUDREY BRASHICH, and MANDY ROTH were there, but Jay was disappointed in the '93's turnout at the black-tie event. Let's try for a better show next year, and this time, none of those embarrassing tuxedo t -shirts. New York has no shortage of Trinity action. PAULO BARBOSA is an account executive with Citibank, bringing his fluency in Portuguese to bear on the bank's Brazilian accounts. ASHLYN HILEY started work at the psychiatric institute at N.Y.U. Medical Center, doing a sleep apnea study. She makes occasional trips to visit a certain Columbia Medical School student... LYNN WOLFF has returned to the greater New York-New Jersey mega-metroplex area, and is working for a small publishing company. Moving even further afield, way up north to Rochester, we find JESS WELD in graduate school for education, and working at a local publishing company. By the time you read this, however, she will be stowing the books and heading to Colorado to spend the summer with AMY F. MORSE, who is in school for education in Durango, working at a daycare part time, and frolicking in the hot springs near Telluride the rest of the day. I saw Amy and Jess at Audubon Circle in Boston's Kenmore Square just a few months ago .. .(segue to Boston news ...). I couldn't miss an issue without a Boston update. PRASANT SAR continues to hatch plans to rule the world, but now does so from his desk in the office of Massachusetts Attorney General Scott Harshbarger. DAN SCANLAN's career at East Coast Capital continues to gather momentum, and he has been called by those who know, "The next Tom Vu." I ran into JON TREVISAN and his bride-to-be on Charles Street, as I strolled along enjoying the winter sun with my senorita, Nicola. John is living in Beacon Hill with his brother, and has entered the World of Consulting. NICOLE D'AVIRRO spent a fun weekend in Vermont, skiing and catching up with KIM D'AMICO and BETSYYAHN (the new roommate of the aforementioned Miss Hiley). To celebrate a successful weekend with all limbs intact, the intrepid trio chose to have dinner at Tapas, where they ran into KARALYN KINSELLA, who filled

them in on her third year of medical school at UConn. Karalyn was with her fiance, whose identity will remain a secret. However, Karalyn was willing to disclose the fact that RENEE MAILLOUX will be doing her residency at Hartford Hospital in OB/GYN. DAVID RIKER, who will, by now, have left Boston for Darien, Cf, has decided to go boldly where no man has gone before (and I don't mean Darien). At long last, he has launched Venture On-Line LLC, an Internet-based service, helping emerging technology companies find financial backing. Good luck, Dave! As for me, I sit quietly by the telephone waiting for you to call. And from the mailbag: United States Marine Corps 2nd Lt. CARLOS A. VALLEJO recently departed on a six-month deployment to Okinawa with the Battalion Landing Team 2nd Banalion, 4th Marines, as part of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit. He is home-based in Camp Pendleton, CaliÂŁ Carlos joined the Marine Corps in July 1994. JAMIE MURPHY is living alone in a "fabulous" one-bedroom on 57th and 8th Avenue in New York, and is working as creative assistant to the executive creative director at Kirshenbaum Bond & Parmers, a "small but very hot ad agency down in the SoHo area." If any friends would like to get in touch (or know of a good voice teacher in N.Y. C.), her number is (212) 977-7064. She writes that ANDREW VANHOOK is an intern at Kirshenbaum, and that she tries to catch concerts by New Brown Hat, the band featuring CRAIG WOERZ and FELL HERDEG, with notable groupie, CHRISSY (HEWITT) WOERZ. At the last concert, she spotted DYLLAN MCGEE, LIZ LIFLAND, and HUGH M .M. ANDERSON. SARAH K. MOLDENHAUER checked in from the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor), where she is in her third year of the joint Ph.D. program in personality psychology and women's studies. In June, she plans to mary Jay Salazar, a New Mexico native, nearing completion of his Ph.D. in organizational psychology. They live with their two dogs (and probably a lot of books) in Ypsilanti, MI. FAWN WALTON is in the last semester at the University of Pennsylvania School of Architecture and as of May will have in hand a master of architecture and certificate in historic preservation. She writes that KRISTIN MAKI, JANE OH, DANA POOLE, and BILL GHENT are doing well.

Kerin was captivated when~ \\:\_ y ..-rY ""Âˇ-' ~>:lood~ . d a T'b she wltnesse 1 etan

For Kerin, that meant combining her existing interest in acting with two new interests: performance art and women's studies. She credits her participation in a freshman seminar, taught by Professor ofTheater and Dance Judy Dworin '70 and focusing on people ostracized from society, with helping to guide her toward her study of Tibetans, now in exile from their native country. "Judy was a huge factor in my life. She helped shape my vision of life, theater, art, and self-expression," Kerin says. As a freshman Kerin discovered women's studies and ultimately graduated from the program with honors. "Women's studies is crucial to all the work I've done. It made me develop sensibilities to race and class, especially in different cultures," she contends. Performance art helped her bring feminist theory to a more "visceral level," Kerin believes. For her senior thesis, she drew upon the experiences of female African-American performance artists and examined how they use their bodies in their art. Women's Studies Professor and department chair Joan Hedrick, one of Kerin's advisers for the project, says Kerin's ability to combine her "artistic and imaginative capabilities with analytical and speculative capabilities produced unusual and impressive results." Dworin, who remains in contact with her former student, says, "From the beginning, Missy was a really creative spirit who was able to take information and combine it with her heart and her mind and find a wonderful integration of art, religion, and women's studies."

Exploring culture through sacred art In 1993 as a junior, Kerin got her frrst taste of the culture that would capture her imagination. It was then that she traveled to

India and Nepal, where she spent a semester studying with the School for International Training and learning about the creation of thangkas, precise, iconographic paintings on canvas which feature Buddhist deities and are used for meditation. After graduating, she returned as a Watson Fellow to take her interest in the sacred art form to a new level. She devoted herself to the exploration of the social and cultural constraints surrounding the creation of thangkas. Although religious law does not restrict women from creating such art, women have not historically created thangkas and mandalas, she explains. "Cultural influences of the outside world and questions being raised by Western feminist scholars about gender roles have started to affect these religious traditions," Kerin says. To promote awareness of these changing traditions, Kerin is working with the College to bring six Buddhist nuns to campus in 1998 to create a mandala. The visit would mark the first time women have created such a painting in the West. Last year, in another attempt to promote awareness and share the mandala's message of impermanence and unattachment, Kerin organized the creation of a mandala at Hartford's Sanchez School. She recalls seeing one boy, who had just lost his father, watch as the mandala was being made and realized that she was not only helping to teach others about impermanence but was learning about it herself "I have a strong interest in learning about what seems esoteric," she observes. "If I can make the basic tenets of compassion and impermanence accessible and alive to people, that would be ideal for me."

Audrey Brashich wrote in with wonderful news: she has received a French government teaching "assistantship" from the Fulbright Commission. She will be spending the next academic year in France, teaching English and American studies, and spreading American goodwill abroad. LISA HARTIGAN KLEINERT writes to the alumni office that she graduated from UConn School of Medicine this May. She moved to Philadelphia to train in internal medicine at UPenn and the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. She notes that UConn's Medical School has produced several more doctors who are Trinity alums, including RENEE MAILLOUX (ob/gyn in Hartford), SAUL SNOWISE (ob/gyn in Chi cago), BRENDAN CAMPBELL '92 (surgery in Chapel Hill, NC), and DAVID BREAULT '90 (pediatrics at Yale).

Hi everyone! Here we go again with another edition of our Class Notes. Please make a note of my new email address in case you might be persuaded to send me some news that way- you know I will appreciate every word! Well, to get things started, PETE FRIEDMAN sent a note to let us in on his news. He wrote back in December to say that he was in his second year of law school at Northwestern. He spent his last summer working at the Democratic National Convention and he planned on doing an associateship

this summer in DC with Wiley, Rein and Fielding, a firm specializing in telecommunications. He said that he had recently spoken with NATHAN STOWELL, who was in Columbus, OH, but was planning on moving back to Moscow with his wife, Vika. I did not know that Nathan was even married, so congratulations! Pete also mentioned that on a recent trip to London he ran into AMANDA WOODS in a theater and that she reported that all was well with her. He let us know that ADAM KREISEL (the D emocrat) is fine and was then recovering from the LSATs. I'm not sure what else he is doing now, but I did hear from other sources that law school was in his plans for the fall. Thanks for all the news, Pete! YAJEN CHANG wrote to the alumni office with an update on what's been going on with her. She spent the last two years working for the New England Aquarium's Elementary Science Curriculum program, but has since returned to her home country. She reported that she was working on starting up an elementary school which was scheduled to open in 1998 in Sao Paolo. Good luck! KRISTEN DIESEL is living in Boulder, and with one semester to go in grad school, was working as a part-time elementary school teacher and high school tutor. In addition, she continues to play soccer with a women's league, as well as with a coed league. Afrer starting in the mailroom at United Talent Agency shortly afrer graduation, LARRY SALZ has been promoted to full agent in the TVLiterary department. He lives out in Los Angeles where he represents writers - including those who write for Seinfeld! On a recent trip to New Hampshire with several Trinity alums, I was able to dig up some information about more of you. Along for the annual trip to D EB WATTS' house on Newfound Lake were GRAHAM JOHNSTON, SARA T ITUS, NATASCHA KONTNY, CHRIS FOLEY, JUSTIN OLIVER, D eb, and I. Sara Titus had recently found out that PIPER SKELLY '93 had been matched for his residency in general surgery at the University of Chicago. Although Sara is stillliving in Beacon H ill and working at The Children's Museum, I have a feeling that by the time this is published, there may be some changes on her horizon. We'll see ... Sara told me that EMILY MCCAMPBELL is planning on attending business school at the University of Michigan. She also reported that EMELIE EAST is applying to law school and that

NOTES

KATHRYN HARKLESS recently got engaged. She is still living in New York and working at DMB&B, at last check. Congratulations, Kathryn! Tascha Kontny is very busy in graduate school at B.C. where she is pursuing her M .S.W: She now works in a residential setring, but had just received news of her new placement in Newton Wellesley Hospital, counseling patients on a surgical floor. Tasch and Sara recently ran into MO MCELENEY and JAKE and ANN (DILLON) FISHER at the Beacon Hill Pub. They have also reported seeing JULIE SMALL and MARLEIGH PHILLIPS around Boston. Graham Johnston is in D .C., working for Peat Marwick where he does consulting for state and local governments and nonprofit organizations. He is also so important that he carries a pager and he told me that in his spare time he is conducting research on limb prosthetics. Hmm...interesting, Graham. Chris Foley is living in Boston's north end and Justin Oliver is completing his third year of law school at American University. He is planning on going into patent law and remaining in DC afrer graduation. Justin told me that MARCARET PRYOR is in her first year of law school at American and CAROLINE SANTA-CRUZ is in her second. He also told me that he recently ran into ERIK SCHWARTZ, who is still in DC, working on engineering for robotics, or some such thing that no one is quite able to understand. ADAM KREISEL (not the Democrat) is living in Utah and he keeps busy by getting new body piercings and directing air traffic for Delta with his newly purple hair. Just in case you thought air travel was unsafe, I'm sure you ai:e now completely reassured. I'm only kidding, Adam! CHlUS PILIERO is living in Geneva and working for JP Morgan. At last sighting, Chris was sporting an Armani suit and a Rolex and sounds like a real big shot. As you can see, many people are currently in grad school, including MISSY KERIN (who is profiled in this issue), and KIM CLASH who is in nursing school at Johns Hopkins. Also, JAY TURNER is getting his M.B.A. at the University of Maryland and living in the DC area, and ASH ALTSCHULER is in law school at Georgetown. In other news, GREG HAFFNER is in medical school in Ireland and MATT PEITRAFETTA is getring his Ph.D. in English (I think) at Columbia. Rumor has it that DAVE HETHERINGTON is moving (or has moved) to Hong Kong, and HARRY EINBENDER

is engaged. By the way, I have also been informed that PAT GINGRAS is actually no longer available to all of the eligible women out there. So if you were planning on giving him a call as per his request, you might want to change your plans. I also heard that J 0 HN VIENER is doing stand-up comedy part-time on the club circuit in New York. I can imagine that this would be quite a show, so look for him! I recently spoke with KEN THRESS, who is happy in Durham, NC with MEGHAN (RILEY) THRESS, while he is pursuing his Ph.D. in pharmacology at Duke. He told me that he and Meghan were about to close on a house in the area, a sign that they are definitely real grown-ups! TOM SOCHA was certainly missed by all of his friends recently, but contrary to rumors that he had disappeared, I discovered that he is just busy in New York working at Bankers Trust. The last time I spoke with him, he was about to leave on a trip to the Bahamas with his girlfriend, Jen. Tom told me that ANDY LEVINE is in N.Y.C. and working at Credit Lyonnais. I can't wait to see ANITA SHIN when she comes out in May with her boyfriend, Kevin, for BENNA LYNCH and RJ RONDINI's wedding. She is finishing her third year of dental school at O.S.U., and from what I can tell, she is pretty much a real dentist doing everything from root canals to fillings! Speaking ofBENNA and RJ, at a pre-wedding/engagement party recently held in their honor in Boston, I saw many alums from our class and others - LIZ DUNCAN was there with her boyfriend, on a rare weekend that she was not traveling on business. Still at Triple Dot Communications in Boston, she is responsible for implementation of marketing and public relations programs for clients such as Timberland, 2d Interactive, and The Laser Center. JANET YORK was also at the party. She is working at Brown Brothers Harriman with RJ and I believe a few other Trinity alums. She told me that MARK KASTRUD's job is keeping him especially busy by sending him overseas for long periods of time. At the time, I think he was in Japan. GARY RAFFERTY made it up to Boston from N.YC. where he works for Sibson & Co. Others in attendance that evening included WILL SARGISSON, Tascha Kontny, BILLY HOGAN '96, BRIDGET HATT '95, MARCY MILIONIS '96, JOEY YANNETTI

Hello again, my friends! Well, I am writing to you on a beautiful March day here in Atlanta. It is the type of day that would have drawn us all to meet friends and throw a frisbee on the Quad if we were in Hartford. In other words, it is the type of day that makes me miss seeing all of you. Right now it is Trinity's spring break and my brother, JOE '97, is in Aruba for a week. Roughi I have heard reports that senior brunch this year was not nearly as out-of-control as ours was, although there were reports of people dancing on tables. With the exception of writing the notes for this edition of the Reporter, I have been locked in my apartment, working on my thesis. Hopefully, by the time you read this, I will have graduated! I tried to recycle the old gauzy polyester Trinity graduation robe, but unfortunately my graduate institution contracts out with another polyester wholesaler. By the way, if you know of anyone who needs to fill a job position for a person with a master of public health degree in epidemiology, let me know! (Writing these notes has its benefits.) I ran into GREG SCHRAMM at an Atlanta Hawks game and I almost couldn't believe it was he since I do not run into any of you

here. Greg is living in Smyrna, GA, a suburb of Atlanta. We only spoke briefly, but he bought a house there and seems to be doing quite well. TOM MCDAVITT reports that he is engaged to MINERVA CARASQUILLO! The wedding is set for January of 1999 in Puerto Rico. Minerva is studying to get her Ph.D. in human genetics at Case Western University in Cleveland, OH. Tom is a graduate assistant at Bridgewater State College. He is coaching football and working towards a master's in counseling. Tom sees LEA WEDGE about once every two weeks. She is still very active with athletics as a soccer coach at BB&N in Cambridge. Tom's brother, BRENDAN MCDAVITT, is a member of the Class of 2000 at Trinity. He is a member of the football team, although he plays on the defensive side of the ball. Tom recently visited with STEVE MIKULSKI and TIGER REARDON '96, who live in a luxurious Fairfield, CT home. Tom reports that they are both well and still throw great parties. JOYCE KURDIAN will be starting at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine in the fall of 1997! GRACE KURDIAN is finishing up her second year of!aw school at Rutgers? I received a postcard from STEVE KANE who reports that he is living in Smyrna, TN. He is working as a machinist at the Nissan plant. He took all his saved vacation time and spent a twomonth period, walking across Tennessee. He really enjoyed the trek and is now considering "a fulltime job as a shepherd." LT. AARON B. O'CONNELL writes that he reported for duty with the 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, Marine Corps Base, Camp Lejeune, NC. He will head to California for the month of April with his platoon of combat engineers to get them in shape and do a bit of indoor rockclimbing. Aaron reports that ADAM SCHAYE is "succeeding as usual" in law school. Aaron has the privilege of hearing all about legal stuff like categorical imperative. MIKE ZADIG ... when you get a break from teaching Latin in Massachusetts, please contact Aaron. RON CINO is sharing a house with KRISTEN CHUN in 路 Hartford. Kristen recently gave a sneak preview of her new dance piece in N.Y. C. ANDRIA REYES is taking classes part-time and doing behavioral neurology at Columbia University. She applied to a few doctoral programs in neuropsychology, and

takes frequent trips to Puerto Rico. PATRICK BRUNO reports that, after a year of coaching at Trinity and teaching in New Britain, he moved home to Rhode Island for the summer of '96. Pat went through a series of jobs, one of which was at Radio Shack where his motto was "if you got questions .. .I got questions." That old Bruno humor!
