BY MARTIN]. WATERS

ven as it marked the 175th anniver ary of it first student re idence, Trinity celebrated the future of residential life at the allege with the opening this fall of The Summit. Home to 172 tudents, the new, three-unit, 23.5million residential complex, officially called the ummit Tower and the umnut Suite , grace the southwe tern edge of campu a a bricks-and-mortar link between the pa t and future . Berund its brown tone fayade and handsome creme-colored tone and brick

rughlights, the 84,000-square-foot Summit incorporates a raft of up-to-the-minute de ign and program ideas that successfully adapts the tradition of a residential liberal arts college to the 21st century. Beyond its inherent significance, the new residential complex represents the first completed project under Trinity's Master Plan for the campus, commissioned by Pre ident Do belle in 1997. The Sumn1it is both a step toward fulfillment of the Master Plan's goal of upgrading student housing to competitive standards and "a physical expression of the

academic strategic plan" adopted in 1998, according to Ronald R. Thomas, vice president and chief of staff. "This project responds to our goal of narrowing the perceived gulf between our students' life in the classroom and their residential life," Thomas said. "It is also an affirmation of our belief that there very definitely is going to continue to be a place for residential liberal arts education." "They are splendid homes, yes," President Dobelle said at the September 22 ribbon-cutting ceremony, "but they are homes with a purpose, rooms with a

viewpoint, as a recent Hariford Courant article put it." Housing the innovative new Tutorial College and student-selected theme suites, The Summit brings with it an immediate revitalization of the traditional integration of the educational and residential life of students on campu . The complex includes two facultyadministrator apartments, as well as faculty office , eminar rooms, music practice rooms, and a pair of two-story common room . The community-building function of the complex i enhanced by inclusion of a combination lecture hall/ dining room, where all of the residents of one of the three unit can gather together for a meeting or a meal. At the ame time, The Summit provides the latest high-tech computer facili-

tie and other infrastructure amenities that have become increasingly important in college residence halls . It also responds to the personal needs of today's students by providing single bedrooms for all residents, while still fostering a strong sense of community by arranging most bedrooms in four-person suites with a shared living room.

Rooms with a viewpoint Some of the ways in which the best of the past i combined with an orientation to the future are evident when you climb the grand stairway leading to The Summit's central courtyard, and more are visible when you enter the slate-roofed trio of buildings. Less visible are other innovative ways in which the best tradi-

tions of a residential college have been updated. The 18 theme suites within The Summit bring together students with shared interests in issues that include advancement of women in business, emergency medical education, playwriting, Irish culture, foreign cultures and globalization, and after-school programs for Hartford youth. "The theme suites will create new opportunities for gro ups of students with common interests to form bonds that will make their academic and overall college experience more meaningful, " said Amy Howard, director of campus life. " Importantly, many of these students also will be providing valuable services that address the needs of the campus and the Hartford community." continued on p. 6

Among those present at the official opening of The Summit were (I. to r.) Ronald Thomas, vice president and chief of staff; Jeffrey Coleman '01, student government leader; William Rawn ill, architect; William Gilbane, contractor; President Evan Dobelle; Kathleen Curran, associate professor of fine arts; Michael West, senior vice president for finance; Paul Raether, chair of the physical plant committee of the board of trustees; William Eakins, trustee; Harvey Silverman, trustee; Saundra Kee Borges, trustee.

They are splendid homes, yes; but they are homes with a purpose-Rooms with a Viewpoint, as a recent Hartford Courant article put it. The Tower houses the exciting new program from our Strategic Plan, the intensive and innovative Tutorial College for selected sophomore students to develop their intellectual talents in an independent environment. And the Suites across the court form the homes for the Cities Program and for some 22 theme suites-from elec-

point in our lives here at Trinity in many ways. First, we are standing, quite literally, on a ridge that marks the high point of our city, a city that has always been so important to who we are at Trinity, and to who we hope to become. From this point where I stand today, I can

look out and see the sun reflecting off the golden capitol dome to the north and east; and to the south, I can view the great beauty of the Connecticut River Valley. Today we can truly say that Trinity is on top. "Finally, as magnificent an architectural achieve-

toral politics, to emergency medicine, to women in business, to Irish culture-all involving faculty and students and administrators working together throughout the year to create a vibrant social and intellectual life for our campus . There are seminar rooms here, music practice rooms, faculty offices, beautiful lounges and common spaces for gathering, dining, and just hanging out. With all this, The Summit represents another kind of achievement for Trinity, another summit ascended. It marks Trinity's leadership in residential liberal arts education by integrating a new standard of residential life with the highest achievement of intellectual life."

Dobelle orrived and a series of new buildings was contemplated, a Design Review Committee was formed -the first in the College' s history-which would en sure that the buildings were of the highest design quality and would form an overall logic. They would be part of a campus plan that respected the past but looked to the future. "Rawn' s dorm fulfills that charge admirably. Its dra matic massing of two structures responds to Cesar Pelli' s adjacent MCEC building and to William Burges' s masterful Victorian Gothic range down Summit Street. It inherits the great Trinity tradition of the "too-long" building; Long Walk, the Pelli Building, now thisbuildings whose length is about contributing to a whole much larger than they are. The dormitory tower, with its spectacular pyrami dal roof, recalls the old medieval warehouses of north ern Europe, which Burges studied for inspiration . It is a beacon that sets up a dialogue with other towers on campus, that of the campus Chapel and the fly tower of

At the Tutorial College, faculty and students have jointly devised a code of conduct-an honor code-to govern their acadenlic and social life. Tutorial College students will be expected to resolve any issues or conflicts u ing the code they have designed. Instead of attending traditional classes, Tutorial College students will meet in

ter Plan guidelines initiated by President Evan Dobelle. The Master Plan (Cooper Robertson) and its Design Guidelines (William Rawn Associates) recognized that an increase of density and a fitting in of large buildings within the existing campus texture was the most important and most creative next step in the evolution of the campus . This strategy begins to fill in the missing teeth in the campus and strengthens the series of four quadrangles that move from south to north. This was the cornerstone of the DobelleCooper-Rawn strategy. Creating 173 beds in four- and six-story buildings on the top of a plinth or plateau is a powerful example of fitting moderately large build ings into a tight site. The tightening and indeed the rigorous organization of the Trinity campus are a centerpiece of this strategy. As the first new building of the Dobelle presidency, this building sets a standard of materials and organization being followed by the next three buildings currently under design. ' '

small and larger groups a well a one-onone with the professors within The umnut complex. In addition, students will travel off campus to attend cultural activitie and visit cultural centers.

Architecture acknowledges past, enhances future From its founding, Trinity ha endeavored to house its students in ways that contribute to the educational mis ion. The fir t dornlitory, the originalJarvis Hall, was completed the year after the College opened in the fall of 1824. For

" I n its bol.d design and innovative programming, The Summit eloquently expresses how the Trinity Campus Master Plan is more than just a series of new buildings to add to the best of our historic architecture. It is a comprehensive plan that will enable the campus to enact our academic mission in a new way. Even as our implemen tation of the Master Plan seeks to preserve what is most beautiful and lasting about our great buildings and green space, we also have ambitions to contribute new elements to our campus fabric, to essentially turn our campus inside out through new construction , design, and way-finding strategies. That is why one of the central principles of the plan addresses the orientation of the campus-complementing an inward-looking orientation fashioned around the cloistered effect of academic quadrangles with an outward-looking engagement of our city and our world.''

many year , the modest building wa able to hou e the entire tudent body. In 1 78 when Trinity mov d from it downtown ite, only two of the Long Walk buildings were ready for occupancy, but one of them wa a dormitory, the new Jarvis Hall. Today, tanding on th ridge that marks the highe t point of land witlun Hartford, the new re idential complex "acts as the southern bookend to the campu , while William Burge i the bookend to the north, ' said William L. Rawn , chief arcllltect in charge of the proje t for his firm William Rawn A ociate of Bo ton.

TOWER TYPOLOGY: NEW TOWER AT SOlITH END OF CAMPUS

All architectural efforts at Trinity begin with the legacy of William Burges, acclaimed de igner of the College' 19thcentury Long Walk building . "They are probably the very be t collegiate gothic building in this country, very powerful and elegant," Rawn said. 'Any building at Trinity has to respond to that, but, how do you respond in a contemporary way? W e tried to take the ame forms that you find in the Burge building and u e irnilar material , but organize the form in a manner that creates a dialogue between Trinity's past and present." Rawn, whose award-winning firm has

designed ome of the nation's most renowned new college building in recent years, also maximized the small site available for the project. Placing the buildings on a raised plateau, the design' most prominent feature is a contemporarystyle tower. With an arched peak, it serves a what Rawn called "a signpost or beacon" at the southern edge of the campu , while the dormitory complex itself provides a much-needed definition to the edge of campus. The ummit, con isting of a six- tory and two four-story building , was harmonized with the larger campu by inclusion

of the courtyard as a link with Trinity's existing quadrangles, including the neighboring Life Sciences Quadrangle. By orienting the buildings inward toward the center of campus, the design makes a strong declaration of renewal of Trinity's commitment to its mission as a residential liberal arts college. And through the style and substance of the buildings, the College has advanced its Master Plan goal for student residences to "provide a variety of opportunities for extending learning and fostering a sense of community."

Tutorial College marks inaugural semester

he new and innovative Tutorial College made its debut this fall with 57 sophomore students living and learning together in the interdisciplinary "college within the College" program. Instead of attending traditional classes, Tutorial College participants meet in small groups, working with five distinguished faculty members: Professor of Philosophy Richard Lee, who is the program's director, Associate Professor of Legal Studies Adrienne Fulco, Professor of Psychology George Higgins, Professor of English Dirk Kuyk, and Assistant Professor of Chemistry Thomas Mitzel. In the Tutorial College model, faculty members are teaching some material that is outside of their fields of specialization, and they work together w ith students in small groups and in oneon-one settings to explore and link the perspectives of various disciplines. As one of its first accompli hments, the community of the Tutorial College devised its own honor code. The five faculty drew up a preliminary outline, and the students fleshed it out, creating an honor council to handle disciplinary affairs and signing a pledge affirming that they "believe that students can live together in an academic community that respects the goals of individuals and maintains the integrity of the group as a whole" and that they are "dedicated to learning from each other's passions and seek to use our strengths to ab orb and apply knowledge in

different ways." Professor Lee says, "The honor code i our way of telling our elves that if we are to get a clear grip on issues of, say, freedom and constraint, then we must know what it is to live these concepts. The students regulate their own life in the dormitory. Theories of selfgovernment take on a certain edge when you have to work out a dispute with your neighbor across the hall." The Tutorial College is housed in the new Summit Suites residential complex,

where the 57 participating students are not only living together but also learning together. (See related story on page 1). Explains Lee , "Everyone reads the ame books, lots of them. Five faculty members are trying as be t they can to let the students see three a pects of these works. Each one of them is something in itself, pecial, demanding, and idiosyncratic-this appeal to the specialist in us. And each one has some connection, whether hi torical or concep-

How shall we govern ourselves? Students in the new Tutorial College faced this question as one of their first challenges of the academic year. Their response, created in collaboration with faculty members, is the honor code, a written set of expectations signed by all members of the program.

tual, with the others-thi appeal to the generali t in us. And each one ha omething to say that bear on the ordinary and common life of us all-which is what we're trying to capture in our Honor ode. "We hope that the books read in the first week will not fade quickly to the back helf of the mind. nee read, alway on the table is a goal we are aiming for. But there is so much, so much good stuff! How to keep it all fre hand before u ? How to read Faulkner, Borge , and Newton all in one week? How to get a few hour leep at night? "A lot of what goes on in the Tutorial ollege is a function of what we don't know about how genuine learning takes place. By ' we' I mean not ju t the five faculty member , but educator generally. Any succe ful teacher, or any teacher who i succe ful with thi or that student, is tempted to give himself credit for doing omething fine. But it i impossible to tell whether he might not simply have been on the scene, almo t by accident, when omething happened in the student' mind, and thinking occurred. Teachers and students are groping in the dark trying to find each other, with more or le s dedication and energy. ometime they touch. More often, they wave to each other as they pas in the night, each makino- up tories that they tell them elve about why the ocean between them is too va t to be negotiated, at lea t not now, not with this per on. What we want i to increa e the odd , improve the chance for the e moments of contact, when

the idea takes hold." Lee says that members of the inaugural Tutorial College have accepted the fact that they are "a work in progress." He say , "We have taken on the rather large project of doing a vast amount of work, of making it part of daily life (to the extent possible), and of running our communal life ourselve . The faculty are having to come to grip with the necessity of rethinking a lot of our old, trusty teaching methods. The tudents are having to figure out how to do much more than might seem possible, which mean how to do it differently. The administration is (probably) cro sing its fingers. All of us are trying to figure out what to do with each other. All of us are still pretty excited."

College rankings and guidebook roundup it has in the past, Trinity fared very well in this year's crop of rankings and guidebooks, and garnered several distinctive and highly distinguished accolade . Fir t off the pres e this year were two new publications aMagaz ine: Inside Asian America, which is published by ~edia, a leading producer and distributor of media for the A ian-American market, and The Kaplan Day tar G11ide to Colleges for African-American t11dents, which is published by the Kaplan division of Simon & Schu ter. gMagaz ine ranked Trinity at #8 (in a tie with Swarthmore) among the "Be t Liberal Arts Colleges for Asian Americans." Trinity

9 The Trinity College Chapel Singers completed a 10-day tour of Italy in late May that included five performances led by Chapel Music Director John Rose, accompanied by organist Christina Fischer '92 and soprano soloist Liesl Odenweller '88. In addition to singing in some of Venice's most notable churches, the group presented a final evening performance from side-by-side gondolas in the Grand Canal to an audience that included a flotilla of 12 boats and many listeners on nearby palazzo terraces.

was also listed among "the 100 best schools for AfricanAmerican students" in The Kaplan DayStar Guide. The guidebook rates colleges and universities on a number of variables, including academics, social life, and special programs and services for students. More than 3,000 colleges and universities in the United States were analyzed by DayStar. Among the national liberal arts colleges considered to be the "top 25" by U.S. News & World Report, Trinity wa one of only 12 to make the DayStar "top 100" list. Thi year's edition of Kaplan's annual G11ide to the Best Colleges in the U.S. profiles Trinity (among only 10 other colleges) in a section entitled "All-Around Gems."

As the editor notes, "If there's a formula for a good, allaround school, it's a combination of strong academic programs, quality facilities, dynamic student populations, and a variety of social and extracurricular activities. The [All-Around Gems] have gotten that fonnula just right. . . top academics, in an environment of cooperation, camaraderie, and, well, fun." The list of institutions profiled in "All-Around Gems" (listed alphabetically, as per Kaplan) is: Bates College, Carleton College, Colgate University, James Madison University, Northwestern University, Pomona College, Skidmore College, Trinity College, University of Delaware, Wake Forest University. The

profile of Trinity features a sidebar containing a comment from a California guidance counselor who "praises Trinity for its 'outstanding liberal arts' curriculum." The sidebar comment also notes, "The arts, English, and history departments are excellent. A small student body and excellent graduation rates are other pluses." Good news for Bantam fans: Kaplan also lists Trinity among "Sports Powerhouses." Again this year there was very little movement within the top 25 liberal arts colleges as ranked by U.S. News & World Report in its annual college guide. Trinity remains among the top 25 (at #23) "National Liberal Arts Colleges"; the College was

ALONG THE WALK

ranked at #22 last year and #23 the year before. The College's "Overall Score" improved from 80 to 81. U.S. News bases 25 percent of its rankings score on academic reputation, and, on U.S. News's 5-point score, Trinity once again received a 3.8; while that score last year ranked Trinity at #25 for academic reputation, this year it moved the College up to #22 in this category. Reflecting the College's higher profile, enhanced reputation, and stellar efforts of Admissions, Trinity's "Selectivity" ranking jumped from #47 last year to #31 this year (and it should be noted that these rankings reflect Class of '03 admissions data, not the recent and even more impressive results for the Class of '04 in the justconcluded admissions cycle). The rankings arrive this year at a time when USNWR is faced with perhaps the most serious challenge to the legitimacy and accuracy of its methods. The Chronicle of Higher Education reported that an independent investigation commissioned by U.S. ews to analyze its college-ranking methodology concluded in 1997 that the methods lack substance. Although not reported in the print version of the rankings, Trinity's engineering department/program was ranked at #51 among those at all undergraduate institutions (public, private, colleges, universities, and technical institutes such as the Rochester Institute of Technology) in a special list on the magazine's Website (http:www.usnews.com). Among the liberal arts colleges in the ranking, Trinity is #8. For several years, U.S. News has ranked engineering

programs (and business programs). Previous rankings have not gone to more than 50 places, and Trinity has not appeared previously. Trinity also garnered a top spot on "America's 100 Most Wired Colleges," a list created by Yahoo! Internet Life magazine. Of the top 50 institutions listed in the "Colleges/Baccalaureate Schools" category (separate from the "University/Research Schools" list), Trinity ranked #10. The "Most Wired" list was developed from a 52-part survey that solicited information from more than 3,600 accredited two-year and four-year U.S. institutions. Key to the rankings were such factors as access and infrastructure, administrative services, general resources, and student support.

Students collaborate with international artists, Nobel laureate erek Walcott, winner of the 1992 Nobel Prize for Literature and founder of the Trinidad Theatre Workshop, came to Trinity in October as part of a unique collaborative event. One of Walcott's most compelling plays, Ti-Jean and His Brothers, was pre ented at Trinity in a production directed by Tony Hall, playwright and artist-inresidence at Trinity, who e own artistic work i based on research into historical, political, ocial, and contemporary issues in Trinidad and Tobago.

Nobel Prize-winning author Derek Walcott (r.), shown here with artist-in-residence Tony Hall, visited campus in October for the student production of his play Ti-Jean and His Brothers (below).

Trinity student not only performed in the play, which explore the differences between European and We t Indian cultures, but al o participated in other a pect of the production. They designed ets for the play, working with internationally acclaimed Trinidadian arti t Peter Minshall, who is known among other thing for his work a arti tic director for the opening ceremonie of the Olympic Games in Atlanta and Barcelona. Other distinguished Trinidadian arti ts participated as well, including Andre Tanker, who provided the mu ical score for the production, and Steve Hankey, who choreographed the play.

The play also involved the talents of performers from the Artists Collective, a celebrated cultural arts center in Hartford, and the Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts, a school that is part of the Learning Corridor educational complex adjacent to Trinity. Altogether, it was a collaboration that resonated with the campus community, the West Indian community in Hartford, and the artistic community in Trinidad, where Trinity has fonned many ed ucational linkages and established a global learning si te. "Tony Hall's production of Ti-Jean and His Brothers was an extraordinary event that brought together a team of spectacular artists from the Caribbean and the resources and talents of Trinity's theater and dance, studio arts, music, and English departments to provide students with a lifetransforming opportunity," says Milla Riggio, James J. Goodwin Professor of English at Trinity and facu lty sponsor of Trinity's global learning site in Trinidad. The benefits, notes Tony Hall, were not just for students. "By seeing the play through the eyes of the students, we were able to discover new vistas in the play."

Trinity Days he academic calendar for 2000-2001 marks the debut of"Trinity Days," twoday periods in October and February when the College is in session but regular classes are not held. Trinity Days provide unscheduled time for students to study for midterm exams, to work on term

papers, theses, or other major projects, or to simply rest and recharge their batteries midway through the semester. The C urricul um Committee designed Trini ty Days to replace the Midsession period and to preserve the most valuable features of its predecessors, Reading Weeks and Open Periods. The new academ.ic calendar brings the number of days that Trinity is in session to 141, which is longer than most of its peer schools in the Northeast are in session.

Students receive awards rinity students have recently earned prestigious scholarship awards: Emily Gresh, an English major in the Indi vidualized Degree Program (!DP) w ho is also a visiting lecturer of theater and dance, was named one of the first recipients of the Jim Murray Scholarship. The scholarship commemorates 1943 Trinity alumnus Jim Murray, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist w ho died in 1998. The national program, established by Murray's wife, annu ally awa rds scholarships to five students majoring in journalism and one Trinity student majoring in Engl.ish.

Dubay is from Standish, ME, where she held a number of leadership positions at Gorham High School. Duarte G, Machado '01 of Waterbury, CT, has been named a Goldwa ter Scholar. One of only four Connecticut natives to be so honored, Machado is among an elite group of 308 mathematics, science, and engineering majors nationally who will receive awards worth up to $7,500 given in memory of Barry M. Goldwater, the late U.S. senator from Arizona. Machado, a neuroscience major who is both an accomplished student and outsta nding laboratory researcher, has been accepted to the University of Connecticut Medical School.

Faculty members honored our professors were recogn ized for their distingu ished service to the College when their portraits were unveiled at a special ceremony in May. The honorees are considered pioneers in Trinity's recent history. They are: Jan Cohn, G. Keith Funston Professor of English and American Studies, who was named the College's first female dean of the facu lty in 1987; Dori Katz, professor of modern languages, who in 1975 became the first female tenured fac ul ty member at Trinity; James A. Miller, former Trinity professor of English and American studies, now professor of English and American studies and director of the African a Studies Program at George Washington University, who was one of

the first senior AfricanAmerican tenured faculty members; and John Simmons , professor emeritus of biology, who in 1974 became the first African American faculty member to receive tenure . Each faculty member chose the artist to paint his or her likeness. The portraits of Cohn, Katz, and Miller were painted by Stephen Alcorn of Cambridge, NY. Simmons's portrait was the final work of art created by Hartford artist Carl Henry, who died last fall. The portraits have been installed in prominent locations on Trinity's campus.

Students create urban wildlife habitat efore arriving in the fall, 13 members of Trinity's incoming first-year class ereated an urban wildlife habitat on a city street just beyond the College's camp us. The project was part of the College's Challenge Program,

an interdisciplinary, fourweek, residential program designed to give first-year students an intensive orientation to academic life before the start of their Trinity careers. The Challenge Program was supp orted this year by a gift from Charles Perrin '67 and his wife, Sheila, of Ridgefield, CT. As they learned about science and Trinity's urban community, the students collaborated with members of Boy Scout Troop 105, who live in the College's neighborhood, to research, design, and build a habitat for birds and butterflies in front and along the sides of Timothy's, a restaurant on Zion Street. The habitat features birdhouses and feeders and an underground irrigation system. Its plant life includes herbs used for cooking in the restaurant. The students' work was supervised by Associate Professor of Psychology Dina Anselmi, Senior Lecturer and Biology Lab Coordinator Michael A. O'Donnell, Pro-

fessor of Economics Diane Zannoni, and Director of the Challenge Program Carol Clark, also an economics professor. The habitat was also supported by a grant from the College's 1634 Fund, an en<lowed gift from Rodney Day III '62 and his wife, Evie, of Bryn Mawr, PA, established to fund innovative collegecommunity programs that better the lives of the children who live in the neighborhoods near campus .

New faculty, staff rinity recently added a number of new and prominent individuals to its facu lty and staff: Suzanne O'Connell has been named director of the Center for Interdisciplinary Science, which develops and coordinates programs across the departments of biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering, mathematics, and physics, as well as the neuroscience program and the Interdisciplinary Science Pro-

gram for first- and secondyear students. Formerly an associate professor in the Department of Earth and En vironmental Sciences at Wesleyan University, O'Connell has also held academic appointments at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University, the Goddard Institute for Space Studies, the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, TX, and Texas A&M University. At Trinity, O'Connell's responsibilities include overseeing student recruitment and science-based outreach programs and teaching as a lecturer in environmental science. Cecilia Martinez de la Macorra has been named project director of the MegaCities Project, a Trinity-based, transnational, nonprofit network of community, academic, government, business, and media leaders dedicated to sharing innovative solutions to urban problems. The licensed architect and former professor of urban planning at

the National Autonomous University of Mexico has been a key player in MegaCities initiatives in Mexico City since 1987. In addition to her administrative responsibilities, she is slated to teach courses that capitalize on her academic credentials and extensive community-based experience. Dr. Laurel E. BaldwinRagaven has been selected as the first Henry R . Luce Professor of Health and Human Rights. A member of the Amnesty International medical network, BaldwinRagaven was previously a lecturer in the Department of Primary Health Care and Family Medicine at the University of Cape Town, where she worked to integrate ethics and human rights into the curriculum, transforming the education of prospective doctors. Prior to her extensive work in human rights and community activism in South Africa, she was a practicing physician and an assistant professor in the Department of Family Medicine at McGill University in Montreal. In addition to teaching in the interdisciplinary Human Rights Program, BaldwinRagaven will supervise undergraduate research and community service projects, organize a biennial conference on health and human rights, and conduct facultydevelopment activities focusing on health and human rights. Richard S. Ross was named College librarian. Formerly the assistant university librarian for collections and organization at the Georgetown University Libraries, he over aw a book collection of 1.6 million volumes and 450,000 government docu-

ments, and coordinated the development of the Georgetown University digital library collection. His experience also includes posts at the University of New Hampshire, the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, and Northeastern University. At Trinity he will oversee the transition of the current Jibrary to the new state-of-theart library and learning resource center that will be ereated under a $32-million renovation plan, with construction beginning in 2001.

Journalist named Presidential Fellow ationally acclaimed journalist Dan Thomasson brought his expertise to campus during the fall semester as a Trinity College Presidential Fellow . Thomasson, who is the retired vice president of news for Scripps Howard Newspapers and editor of Scripps Howard News Service, was named one of the nation's best investigative reporters by Washingtonian magazine for his reporting of Chappaquidick, Watergate, and other significant news events. He currently writes a weekly column distributed by Scripps Howard. A graduate of Indiana University, Thomasson is a trustee at Franklin College and a member of the White House Correspondents' Association, the American Society of N ewspaper Editors, and the board of visitors at the Institute for Political Journalism at Georgetown University. "Dan Thomasson's insight and wealth of experience in journalism will ensure a rich and profoundly engaging dialogue among Trinity's faculty

and students," said President Evan S. Dobelle. "He has distinguished himself as a reporter and editor, and will inspire members of Trinity's community to examine the role of the media in our society." As a Presidential Fellow, Thomasson taught a public policy course called "Politics and the Media," in addition to interacting with students and faculty in a variety of formal and informal settings. Underwritten by an anonymous Trinity alumnus, the Presidential Fellow program at Trinity brings distinguished individuals to the College to teach and pursue academic activities.

Grant enhances Judaica collection, honors alumnus he Endowment Foundati on of the Jewish Federation of Greater Hartford has awarded three grants totaling $7 ,000 to Trinity to establish a Yiddish book collection at the College. The rich literary heritage of European Jewry will thereby find a new home in Trinity's growingJudaica collection and be a critical resource to the interdepartmental Jewish Studies Program, which was established in 1998. The Endowment Foundati on made the largest of the three grants, a $6,000 grant, from the Frances Solomon Feingold Memorial Fund. The gift was made in honor of Trinity alumnus Gustave Alexander Feingold, who earned his bachelor's degree in 1911 and his master's degree in 1912, and who had a long career in the Hartford public school system.

Engineering department receives reaccreditation he Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) has renewed its accreditation of the College's engineering program. For years, Trinity has been one of only a small handful of liberal arts colleges to offer an ABET-accredited Bachelor of Science degree in engineering. This new announcement adds luster to that distinction, since the engineering program at Trinity is one of the first in the nation to receive accreditation based on the new, stricter ABET outcomes-based EC2000 assessment. ABET is a federation of professional engineering and technical societies. By reflecting the standards set by the engineering profession itself, ABET accreditation assures not only the program's educational quality but also its ability to prepare graduates for the profession. "The ABET accreditation is very exciting news for the engineering department, since it is an external confirmation of our program," said Professor Joseph Palladino, chair of the engineering department at Trinity. "It is particularly rewarding because we volunteered to be reviewed under ABET's new outcomes-based EC2000 criteria." The new criteria have forced engineering departments across the country to rigorously review their educational strategies and their outcomes. "This is a significant development," said Palladino, "and one we particularly welcomed because of the focus it places on student

achievement and demonstrated performance both as students and, later, as graduates of the program. We have long believed the department's very low 8: 1 student-faculty ratio, its exceptional facilities, and its conunitment to teaching engineering within the liberal arts context provided excellent preparation for future engineers. It's gratifying to learn that ABET agrees ."

This is the second honor to fall to the engineering program this year. In September, U.S. News & World Report ranked the engineering program 5 lst among the top undergraduate colleges in the nation and 6th among liberal arts colleges. Trinity has offered engineering instruction for over 100 years . Thanks to the engineering department's com-

mitment to a rigorous education in science and math as well as its strong support for a liberal arts foundation, students graduating from the program have gone on to significant accomplishments in a wide range of high-tech corporations and research laboratories, including United Technologies, Pratt and Whitney, Otis, HamiltonStandard, Sikorsky, Carrier,

The perennial debate

Research vs. teaching K. COHN, G. Keith Funston Professor of America11 Literature and American Studies

BY JAN

s it possible to say anything new with regard to this old, old debate? Probably not to my debatewearied colleagues. Maybe to a wider audience? But even to get this discussion off the ground, it's necessary to examine two fundamental issues. The first is the wide range of colleges and universities in the United States. Since an essay in the Reporter on the research/teaching question has to do specifically with Trinity College, it's critical to locate Trinity precisely along that spectrum of postsecondary educational institutions. The secondand even more fundamental -issue is one of definition: what is "research"? what is "teaching"? and what does that "vs." standing in between them mean? Higher education in the United States is a mega-business. It is also a powerful social institution, serving very different kinds of students and providing very different kinds of services. At one end of the continuum of postsecondary institutions lies the "research university," a term that itself includes a range of universities, both private and public, from Harvard and Yale to major state and urban schools like the University of Wisconsin and the University of

Faculty research and scholarship form the basis for excellent teaching. Shown here, Associate Professor of Engineering Joseph Palladino and students with Trinity's subsonic wind tunnel.

Pittsburgh . As the term suggests, a research university defines itself in terms of scholarship and scholarly output. Teaching loads are low, no more than two courses a term, with one of them often being a graduate course. Teaching obligations, however, by no means define workload. Professors at these schools take on a significant number of doctoral students, guiding their research and directing their dissertations . Undergraduate education, indeed the makeup of the

undergraduate body, at research institutions is itself various . Some private research universities, Harvard and Yale for example, admit exceptional undergraduates. Public research universities, Wisconsin and Pittsburgh for example, provide at least local students with partially statesupported subsidies; in turn, they are often required to admit local students who are far from excep tional . The differences in student bodies, however, does not necessarily lead to different kinds of un-

dergraduate, or at least lower division, teaching; in both kinds of research universities graduate students are themselves subsidized by undertaking a good deal of the teaching of introductory courses . Whether this is or is not a satisfactory way of providing undergraduate edu cation is a hotly argued question. But there is no question that it serves the ends to which a research university is primarily dedicated: the production of new knowledge and the production of new professors.

hiring assistant professors according to their promise in teaching and research and weighing their accomplishments in each at the time of their pre-tenure and 11 tenure evaluations.

Assistant Professor of Biology Lise-Anne Foster with student

At the farthest rea ch from the research university is the twoyear college, often a community college. The mission of the two-year college is to provide a basic, lower division (freshman and sop homore level) edu cation, and in some cases to fuse th.is with training in a marketable skill. Teaching loads are high in two-year colleges; often five and sometimes even six courses a term. While these schools may hire part-time fac ulty, adjuncts, in order to reduce costs, there is no inhouse body of graduate students to assume any of the teaching burden. And research, scholarly work on the part of the faculty, is not a stated goal, though I have known a few remarkable men and women who have written articl es and even books despite the crushing teaching load. Between the research university and the two-year college there is plenty of room for other varieties of edu cational institutions, from the regional uni versity to the small denominational college, and of course for liberal arts colleges like Trinity. Even amo ng the liberal arts colleges there are differences and di-

So, here we are 50 years later,

vides, tiers and rankings. Trinity is among the premier liberal arts colleges, a set of schools itself tiered and ranked as we know all too well from the annual issue of U.S. News & World R eport. Still, rankings aside, Trinity sta nds as one of an elite group of colleges, and that set of colleges-like the research uni versity and the two-year college-has its own goals in tenns of research and teaching. In order to understand those goals, it's important to recognize the chan ges that have taken place over the past half-century in high er education and, more specifically, at colleges like Trinity. I'm very close to being an eyewitness to that half-century, having entered Wellesley College in 1951. At that time any sc holarly work done by our professors was obscure to us, even obscured from us. The facu lty were addressed by the ti ti es of "Miss" and "Mr. " (I don't recall any "Mrs.") The teachin g load was an unimaginable five co urses a semester. Almost all of the teaching fell to the tenured or tenure-track facu lty except for a few courses given by local graduate students, mostly from H arva rd. It wasn't until I

went on to graduate sc hool myself that I learned that a number of the women who had taught English and American literature to me were sc holars, were indeed famous sc holars. I'm sure that the Wellesley I recall is very much like the Trinity many alumni (masc uline form intended; we are talking about the olden days!) remember themselves. But were these the good old days? Well, of co urse th ere is a

good deal of nostalgia for me in recalling a number of my courses and professors, but the kind of world in whic h women, and a few men, co uld handle five co urses and still produce research is not the kind of world I would want to return to. For the fac ulty, if not for the students, this was a cloistered world. Work was all-consuming; even families were rare and were, in fact, for men only. Nostalgic or not, those

days are gone, va nished in th e growth of hi gher edu ca tion that began aft er W orld War II and in th e burgeoning of graduate edu catio n in the 1960s. The women's movement playe d its part as well by bringing more women into higher edu catio n, including marri ed w omen . T wo- ca ree r fa milies became more the norm, and since proxim.i ry and mutu al interests encouraged marriages between gradu ate students, two- ca reer families oft en meant two-professo r fa milies. The insularity, th e self- contained world , of the teacher-scholar disappeared. And th en th e j ob market in hi gher edu cati on tightened up. There w ere, and there remain , more able young applica nts th an th ere were sa tisfac tory and sa ti sfying teaching positions. C ompetition for those positions mea nt that postsecondary institutions could be cho osier, could weigh ca ndidates on two scales, could evaluate promise in botIi teaching and resea rch. At th e sa me time, the call for equal opportuniry brought an end to th e exclusive "old boys' network. " N o longer could a professo r at H arva rd call a colleague at Yale to say he had a bright yo ung man fo r

him . Instead, job lists were instituted and the annu al conventi o ns held by each academ.ic discipline beca me th e sites for j ob interviews. T o gain an intervi ew , and to succeed in that interview so as to be in vited for a ca mpus visit, a ca ndidate needed to demonstrate credenti als in both fields, in teachin g and in resea rch. Like its peer colleges, Triniry, too, cam e to evaluate applica nts for tenure-track positions on two scales. So , here we are 50 yea rs later, hiring assistant professo rs acco rdin g to their promise in teac hing and research and weighin g th eir accomplishments in each at the time of their pre-tenure and tenure evaluations. This is what has happened. But is it a good thing? I'll suspend that qu estion forili e cime b~n ~ ino~ e rto

turn to my definitions-what is teachin g and wh at is research? Teaching is not simply something that happens in a class room or studio or laborato ry temp orarily inhabited by a professor and a number

of stud ents. And teachin g is not simply th e delivery of some set of fac ts or theories from th e teacher to some number of stud ents.

Teaching is what happens when one mind infiltrates another mind.

or is the infiltrator necessarily a professor. Another student ca n assume that role, as can th e turn of a class di scussion, or a passage in a book, a moment durin g an experiment, a few bars of music. A mind is surprised, jarred, catalyzed; an idea happens. Good teachin g aims at such moments, guiding students throu gh discussions, demonstrations, writing, the shape of a syllabus. The best teaching multiplies them. What is necessary- in th e tea cher, th e text, the experiment, the music- is a degree of intellectual and crea ti ve energy, and- for the teacher -a lot of hard work. For teaching, hard w ork is a given; the in tellectual and

creati ve energy is not. And by that route, l reach my definition of research. Simply enou gh, resea rch is findin g out about somethin g. For me, that means readin g; for others it may mean interviewing, experim entin g, observing. Resea rch is not precisely the sa me as scholarship thou gh we often use th ese terms interchangeably. Scholarship entails mak.in g public the results of research. The difference is signifi cant. I would doubt that there is a single fa culry member at Triniry who does not do resea rch, who does not engage in finding things out. Even teac hing the sa me course year after yea r necessaril y involves finding out what is happening in whatever fi eld that course covers. All aca demi c fields change with new discoveri es, new approaches, new kno wledge. But not all fa culry members, at Trinity or at co mparable colleges, publish the res ults of th eir research. And again, th e difference is signifi cant. Keeping up in a fi eld mea ns lea rning what

others have discovered and published. Publishing in a field means discovering something new in order to let other professionals in your field know about it. Faculty members serio usly engaged in scholarship necessarily do both kinds of research, not only to keep their teaching up to date but also to keep abreast of the work in their own areas, to build their scholarship on that foundation. All that reading and interviewing and experimenting and observing takes time, lots of time. The question , of course, is whether that time is taken at the expense of teachi ng. Or, to put it another way, whether research, including scholarship, does a disservice to our students. And that brings me to the "vs." that often stands between the words "teaching" and " research," the "vs." that makes them, if not antagonists, at best competitors. What are they, presumably, competing for? Time? Energy? Commitment? Trinity defines its faculty as "teacher/scholars," a tem1 that allies the two activities, but even at Trinity that "vs ." exists as a specter threatening competition. I don't believe in the competitor formulation, though I readily admit that the true "teacher/scholar" works very hard indeed. But the reason I reject the notion of competing claims does not rest on the assumption that we should all be sleep-deprived workaholics . Rather, I assume that teaching and research, including scholarship, are complementary activities: teaching informs research and research informs teaching. Each is enriched b)/ the other. Moreover, not only is that good for us, the teacher/scholars, but it is very good for the students. Schol-

Excellent teaching happens when lively minds interact, and the lively minds among the professoriate are kept lively by research."

arly work allows us better to perform that act of mindinfiltration that I identify as the mark of the most successful teaching. An example from my own teaching. For the past several years I have taught a course called "Childhood in America." The subject matter of the course is the way in which the notion of childhood and the idea of the child have changed in the United States from the time of the Colonies to the mid 20th century. The "texts" for the course range from 17th-century poetry and shipping orders (requests for sending street children from London to the Colonies as workers) , to 19th- and early 20th-century fiction, and include portraiture, comic strips, television documentaries, and film. The purpose of the course is to bring the students to a recognition of the ways in which childhood is culturally constructed and an understanding of the cultural and historic forces behind the changes in ideas about children. Since I first taught the course in the early 1990s, I have read hundreds of documents about childhood. That's research of the kind that informs me about stateof-the-art work on this subject. And that research has made the course a better co urse each time that I have taught it. I simply know more about it. But not all that reading has been undertaken

simply in the interest of refining "Childhood in America ." A good deal of it centers about my own scholarly work, a study of the fictional treatment of the orphan in our culture. No, I do not plan to teach a course on that subject; it is far too narrow and specialized. Nevertheless, my work on the figure of the orphan has had a significant effect on the course, allowing me to see that the ways in which children are, and are not, implicated in family life offer a powerful tool for analyzing the documents we read and for locating and understanding the causes for change in the conception of childhood. I believe that most students in this course do experience mind-infiltration. Some of that is accomplished by the materials themselves. When students read that the Massachusetts Bay Colony, at least on paper, considered a teenager's insubordination a capital offense, it gets their attention! When they compare public, religious attitudes toward the death of chqdren in the Colonial period with private expressions of grief, they suddenly confront the divide between ideology and personal experience. When they move from the enclosed world of the bonded female . family of Little Wom en to the open road of Little Orphan Annie, or find the gaiety and spunkiness of Tom Sawyer reincarnated in the film roles ofShirley Temple, their ideas

about gender undergo subtle revision. My students are, after all, doing their own research. Granted, I have selected th e "archives" for this research. And granted, this is not a course in which an independent research pa per is one of the requirements. Still, the students study the materials, discuss them in class, argue over what they reveal about childhood, and all th e time they are assessing and reassessing the ideas about childhood which their culture has taught them. Their final paper is an examination and evaluation of some current event that, yet again, calls into question our contemporary construction of childhood. Sadly, there is no shortage of such current events, from school shootings to infanticide. At least, with "Childhood in America" behind them-their research, if you will-my students respond to these events with the benefit of some history of our culture, and that makes their evaluations superior to most of the journalism and punditry that fill the newspapers and airwaves. Trinity is a premier liberal arts college. What it offers its students is excellent teaching in an intimate, residential environment. Excellent teaching does not happen simply because of commitment, commitment to one's students, commitment to one's discipline. Excellent teaching happens when lively minds interac t, and the lively minds among the professoriate are kept lively by research, again including scholarship. Forget that "vs."; we are teacher/ scholars. Jan Cohn served as dean of the fawltyfrom 1987 to 1994.

.alum.WOW Trinity 5 dot-com entrepreneurs: David Riker '9 3 The number of dot-com businesses is growing exponentially, it seems, and Trinity's alumni office continues to receive news ofgraduates succesifu.lly pursuing Intern.et-based businesses. In this issue we share with you. David Riker's success story.

nce upon a time, people seeking home, auto, or other kinds of insurance had to find themselves a local agent, who worked for a large monolithic corporation and who could describe and interpret that company's complicated policies . The claims process might involve multiple phone calls to the agent and long periods during which the customer worried about the status of his or her claim. Today, there is an alternative. Through eCoverage, an online firm that sells auto insurance products without offices or agents, customers can purchase insurance within a few minutes of filling out a simple online questionnaire and, in a simplified processing system, file and track claims via the Internet. Cutting out overhead costs and eliminating the agent as a go-between, eCoverage seeks to save customers both time and money. Described by some as " the Amazon.coin of insurance," eCoverage boldly heralded its arrival on th e insurance market in September of 1999 with advertisements containing the tagline, "The industry is history. " While the country's insurance giants

acco unt and must still work within the traditional agent-carrier system. Riker notes that eCoverage is different from the firms that are now trying to play catch-up. It was created from scratch, not simply as an insurance company, but as an Internet insurance company.

courses, he does credit such faculty members as Dirk Kuyk with teaching him, through literature, to assimilate large amounts of information and to analyze and understand each author's intentions. "That has been the foundation of everything since," he reflects today. Recently, Riker has put his energy and experience to work for his alma mater by accepting a seat on Trinity's Board of Fellows. After graduation, Riker went to work for the Bostonbased Genzyme Corporation, where he helped develop an Internet-based insurance payment system. In 1996, he founded his first company, Riker Networks, which offered a way for investment bankers and institutional investors to communicate via an interactive network. Unable to gain approval for the system from the Securities and Exchange Commission, Riker shut down that company and plunged headlong into developing a business plan and gaining financial support for his new start-up, eCoverage. Today, Riker devotes most of his time to managing eCoverage's strategic partnerships with other online companies, such as E*Trade and Quicken. These distribution partners will help steer customers to eCoverage's Web site. While eCoverage still has a long way to grow before it fulfills Riker's vision for it, he says, " No company to date has launched and gone national so quickly. I'm very proud of our aggressive strategies."

the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia, Trinity College was well represented. C hristine Smith Collins, a 1991 graduate of Trinity, and rowing partner Sarah Garner captured the bronze medal in the women's lightweight double sculls race. The duo, competing in th e first race of the day on September 24, got off to a quick start and maintained the lead at the 1,000-meter mark. Teams from Romania and Germany were able to pass th em in the third quarter of the race and take the gold and silver medals. Collins and Garner finished third wi th a time of7:06.37. Collins, w ho has won four World C hampionship titles and medaled at several other competitions with Garner as her partner, is the second Trinity graduate to compete in the Olympic Games. The first Trinity athl ete to compete in the Olympics was AJex Guild, a member of the C lass of 1961 , who played on the U.S. Olympic men's soccer team in 1960.

ln 1998, Collins combined with Garner to win the World Championship title, but they lost in the finals at the 1999 World Championships. Prior to that competition, Collins had been out of action for four months beca use of a thumb injury. "The Olympic experi ence in Sydney was extraordinary for me. To be surrounded by the greates t athl etes in so many different sports and to take part in such a historic event can only be described as overwhelming," says Collins. "What a great reward for 13 years of hard work, especially the last three or four when my specific goal was to compete in the Olympics." Collins, originally from Darien, CT, is an attorney, currently practicing law at the Bowditch and Dewey firm in Worcester, MA. She rowed varsity at Trinity for four years under former Bantam coach Norm Graff from 1988 to 1991 and was cap tain as a senior. Her husband, Matt Collins, is a former national

team rower and 1993 world champion. Collins remembers fondly her collegiate experience at Tri nity, both in and out of the water. She says, "First of all , had I not gone to Trinity, I wou ld never have continued to row through college. Because I was physically smaller, I could have gotten lost in a bigger program. The smaller, su pporti ve enviro nm en t th at the Trinity rowing co mmunity-and especially my coach Non11 Graf-provides for athletes is truly special. " Collins also believes that being encouraged to participate in a numb er of activities at Trinity taught her something about time management. She says, " ! had the opportunity to row and work at the radio station, and that has helped me successfully juggle everything I'm involved with now." After returning from Sydney, Collins took a month off to enj oy her success and to visit elementary schools to tell children what it is like to co mpete in the Olympics.

While bronze-medalist Christine Collins was the only former Bantam to compete in Sydney, she wasn't the only Trinity graduate involved in the 2000 Olympic Gomes . Curtis Jordon '7 4 , o U.S. rowing team coach in Sydney, worked with the men's lightweight four crew, which finished sixth . A veteran of the Olympics, Jordon also coached at the Gomes in 1988, 1992, and 1996 in Atlanta , where he co-coached the men ' s lightweight four crew to o bronze medal. Jordon hos spent the post 20 years coaching rowing at Princeton University. He hos coached the men's and the women' s teams at different times in his career.

SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT FOR

Trinity's Strategic Plan calls for the College community to:

OPER.ATIONS AND PLA NNING

~e l ~ailed

College's 1998 Strategic Plan for a number of initiatives intended to enhance diversity at Trinity. In fact, diversity figured very prominently in the plan (see box). Those of us who were deeply involved in the strategic planning effort, and those-including President Dobelle and the Board of Trustees-who approved the Strategic Plan as well as the allocation of significant resources to support the achi evement of its key goals, believed that any plan to affirm Trinity as a national leader in liberal arts education for the next century must include steps to enh ance the diversity of the College and weave multiculturalism into the fabric of the institution. One of the most significant steps taken in the context of these strategic goals was the hiring in August 1999 of Karla Spurlock-Evans, Trinity's first dean of multicultural affairs, reporting directly to the president. While the responsibility for advancing the College's diversity-related goa ls rests on many offices and individuals-in fact, each member of this community of learning can play an important part-my colleague Karla has an especially central role and critical opportunity at this period in Trinity's history, and she brings to the task impressive experience, wisdom, and a deeply felt commitment to community and justice. At Trinity, she is empowered to help orchestrate the progress that is already under way on a number of

fronts and lead new initiatives where progress has not been fast enou gh, and she is working with others to keep everyone focused on the prize. President Dobelle has said candidly, "Our community is textured by individuals with unique cultural heritages and personal identities, but we have not yet arrived at our destination: the point at which we truly believe-and demonstrate-that in our differences lies our strength." Recently Karla and I had a conversation about her first year at Trinity. Campanella: What prompted you to want to become Trinity' s dean of multicultural affairs?

Spurlock-Evans: I am personally and professionally compelled to work towards creating communities that experience and celebrate diversity. After 14 years at Northwestern as associate dean of students and director of African American

• continue to consider increased diversity of the student body, including greater numbers of international students, to be a high priority; • make a substantial commitment to the Office of Multicultural Affairs (staffing and programming); • pursue creative and effective retention strategies in parallel with recruitment efforts focused on attracting a higher-quality, more diverse student body; • renew and intensify institutional commitment to affirmative action in recruitment and hiring at all levels; and • implement broader, more creative initiatives that encourage and help members of the Trinity community to work together and to respect and value differences.

student affairs, I initially became interested in Trinity's position because I had for some time dreamed of moving closer to Connecticut, where I was born and where my parents, sister, and extended family still resided. The more I learned about Trinity and about the way this position had been conceptualized, the more compelling I found it. What distinguished this job from others I had seen was the recognition that achieving diversity was a multidimensional task requiring coordination at multiple levels . I was particularly impressed with Trinity's concept of the position of dean of multicultural affairs after reading a report drafted by a faculty committee that outlined what the position should be (the CIT Report). The document clearly recognized that institutional transfonnation would be required to accomplish the goal of a multicultural environment and that a comprehensive effort would have to incorporate several strategies: academic and social support, curricular development, faculty recruitment, and the promotion of a warmer, more

inclusive campus climate. When l interviewed at Trinity, I was impressed with the intelligence and cooperative spirit exhibited by students from various cultural backgrounds, the warmth and collegiality of staff and faculty, and the awareness exhibited by senior staff that the job they were seeking to fill was not a oneperson endeavor. There seemed to be concurrence that the dean of multi-cultural affairs would galvanize change, but that everyone-faculty, students, and administrative staff would have to buy into a "master plan" for change. As you prepared to take on this challenge, what opportunities and what significant challenges did you anticipate lay ahead for you? This job offered me the opportunity to have direct input in shaping strategies for change. I knew that the year prior to my arrival had been marked by certain struggle and that I might be required to serve among other things as an agent of healing so that various constituenciesstudents, faculty, and administratorscould combine forces to productively address the challenge of transforming the co11tin11ed 011

Ensuring that all students succeed Trinity leads consortium of colleges aiming to eradicate disparities in graduation rates ot all college freshmen become college seniors . Some of the country's most academically talented high school students enroll at selective liberal arts colleges such as Trinity but do not complete their studies. These students are disproportionately students of color. This disparity in graduation rates is a challenge faced by many institutions, and it is one that Trinity has sought to confront and remedy. Trinity began by looking inward, at its own retention situation , and has since become a leader for other small liberal arts colleges, in the process earning a $50,000 grant to establish a consortium of like-minded colleges. The consortium is dedicated to ensuring parity in graduation rates among all students and, more broadly, to ensuring that all students achieve at their highest potential. "Trinity attracts diverse and academically talented students, but the overall graduation rate among minority students is not in line with the rate for majority students," says Mary Thomas, dean of students at Trinity. In 1998, Trinity formed a Retention Task Force, a cross-campus committee of faculty, administrative staff, and students, to explore the factors that con tribute to students of color graduating at lower and slower rates than white students. The task force was charged with providing recommendations on ways to eliminate the racial and ethnic disparities that exist among students and to contribute to the academic and postgraduate success of all students. The task force reported its recommendations in the fall of 1999, and as a result, a number of initiatives were introduced. Among those initiatives were several special academic support programs, including retention teams that

work with students when a need for intervention is identified. A learning disabilities specialist was hired to offer diagnostic testing, recommend learning strategies, and advise students. In addition, academic skills workshops were held to improve study habits and increase awareness of available resources. "The success of our students and their personal growth is the responsibility of all members of our community," notes Ann Reuman, assistant dean of students at Trinity. "These programs have been successful in providing academic connections for students. Students who participated felt that someone cared about them, and that's extremely important." The Retention Task Force also addressed improvements that were needed in social, cultural, and financial areas. As a result, students, administrators, and alumni collaborated last year to plan for new and renovated cultural houses on Vernon Street (see related story) . Because retention is a challenge faced by many colleges and universities, Trinity also hosted a retention con-

ference in February, which drew representatives from some 30 higher learning institutions. Workshops were held on the roles faculty, admissions, and social climate play in retaining minority students. Many of the steps outlined in the task force's report, such as more proactive advising , increased academic and peer support, and improving the academic climate in residence halls, were echoed at the conference by college representatives from Colby College, Brown University, Dartmouth College, Sarah Lawrence College, Mount Holyoke College, Swarthmore College, Union College, among others.

Representatives from 31 of the nation's top liberal arts colleges gathered at Trinity in February 2000 for a workshop focusing on the success, satisfaction, and retention of students of color.

"We actively recruit minority students whom we have identified as stars, yet when they get to the college, they are not appearing on the dean's list, they are not summa cum laude," Sylvia Langford of Dartmouth said at the conference. "I'm concerned about what we are doing for the stars, especially since we know they have the potential to be stars at the college level." As a result of the conference, the College has received a $50,000 grant from the Nellie Mae Foundation, one of New England's largest independent charity organizations focused exclusively on education . The grant will be used to solidify a consortium of selective private colleges dedicated to meeting the challenges of ensuring parity in graduation rates across all groups of students. The Nellie Mae Foundation selected Trinity for the grant in recognition of leadership in promoting collaboration among colleges in addressing the challenges of retention. Twentyfive colleges and universities have joined the consortium, which will be headed by Sharon Herzberger, Trinity's vice president for student services. They are: Amherst College, Bard College, Barnard College, Bates College, Bowdoin College, Brandeis University, Bucknell University, Clark University, Colby College, Colgate University, College of the Holy Cross, Colorado College, Franklin & Marshall College, Hamilton College, Haverford College, Lafayette College, Middlebury College, Pomona College, Reed College, Sarah Lawrence College, Smith College, Swarthmore College, Trinity, Union College, and Vassar College. The inaugural meeting of the consortium was held November 2 in New York, hosted by Tom Johnson '62, chairman of the Board of GreenPoint Bank and chairman of the Trinity's Board of Trustees. President Dobelle states, "I expect the consortium to make a profound difference for the exceptional students who matriculate at our special institutions."

environment. The great task before us is to create a climate that embraces diversity and encourages dialogue and interaction across lines of difference. Our major challenge is how to get students, faculty, and staff to step outside comfort zones, cross into unfamiliar territory, and become comfortable with the unfamiliar. What surprised you most when you settled into the job? l was surprised by the high energy level, keen inteUigence, and sop histication of th e politicaUy engaged students. I was excited to observe that student leaders were stimulated by writers and inteUectuals-that, for example, the students of Iman i chose to bring a hi ghly esteemed law professor and writer, Derek BeU, as th e keynote speaker for their first annual student conference. l was also struck by the coUegiality, warmth, and approachability of feUow administrators and impressed by the talent represented among faculty .

In Trinity l found a school that possessed bountiful natural resources for the task of becoming a fully multicultural campus. The challenge is devising strategies for transfon11ation and mobilizing those individuals and groups who will effect change. What was your first priority? My first priority as I established an enlarged Office of Multicultural Affairs was to extend tangible personal and institutional support to students from multicultural backgrounds-specifically Black, Latino, and Asian-American students. The means for doing this included helping students in their organized efforts to manifest a cultural presence at Trinity and create a warmer social environment, assisting Student Services to explore the causes for and posit solutions to the problem of attrition among students of color, particularly Black and Latino men, and engaging with various offices to outreach more effectively. How would you describe your role and responsibilities on campus, and

what have been the most difficult challenges as you've embarked on your important work at Trinity? I wear many hats: dean of multicultural affairs, affirmative ac ti on officer for administrative staff, and omb udsperson . I serve many functions: energizer, advocate, gadfly, intermediary, mobilizer, and mom. The most difficult aspect of this job is encouraging individuals and groups w ho are pushing for change and tho e w ho are receptive to change to overcome suspicion and work constructively together for a commonly shared vision of the future. The greatest challenge in this environment is that traditionally the school has not enj oyed much cultural diversity among staff, faculty, or students. There may not exist a deep-felt need among the majority to change a tradition that has seemed to many to serve the institution weU in the past. l am here to help galvanize and orchestrate change.

At home with diversity mbracing multiculturalism at Trinity means celebrating diversity in all areas of the College experience, including residential and social life. On September 24, the College celebrated the opening of its new cultural houses with Ritmo de Pueblo II, a festive event that featured cultural and performing groups from the New England area . The Asian Performing Arts Ensemble, the Yale Klezmer Band, the Cultural Dance Troupe of the West Indies, and Ray Gonzalez y Su Orchestra, New England' s most popular Latino orchestra, were among the performers. The program highlighted the renovation of a house on Vernon Street for use by La Voz Latina , the Latino students' group, and another house for use by the Asian American Student Association . The earlier renovation of Umoja House, home to lmani , the black student union, was also celebrated , as was the planned construction of a new Hillel House for students of Jewish faith . The cultural houses provide a place for networking and support for some students and encourage learning about various cultural traditions among others . The houses are among the College' s initiatives that promote a climate that values and celebrates diversity. They were called for in Trinity's 1998 Strategic Plan and were developed with the support of Henry Zachs ' 56, who in October 1999 gave the College three major gifts totaling $1 .95 million to support multicultural initiatives.

For the last three years in a row, students of color have represented approximately 20 percent of Trinity's first-year classes, and the student body as a whole is now about 18 percent students of color. This represents great progress toward goals articulated in the 1998 Strategic Plan and certainly sets Trinity apart from most of its peers. What else do you think sets Trinity apart when it comes to matters of diversity and multiculturalism? Do you believe Trinity can and will serve as an example for society at large? Is it already, in some respects, playing that role? T rinity has clearly established itself as an instituti on that recognizes the valu e of attracting and sustainin g a di verse co mmunity of students, fac ul ty, and staff. W e are committed to interacting m ore fully with the city of H artford, a goldmine for th ose interested in urban chall enges and the multipli city of cultural co mmuniti es here. Trini ty has co1nmitted significant reso urces-more than $220,000 in program fu nds for the Office of Multicultural Affairs alo ne. T hese fund s are leveraged by funds from Student Services, the Office of th e D ea n of Faculty, and others on ca mpus. R ecent co nferences-such as a retention conference spo nsored last February by Student Services, a conference to encourage college attendance by Latin o hi gh school stude nts sponsored last April by the Office of Community Service and C ivic E ngagem ent, and student- initiated conferences such as Imani 's, as well as fa cultyand student-spo nsored programs and speakers-have sent a m essage to co mmunities of colo r and progressive allies in the city, in the region , and across th e co untry that Trinity is a dynamic ce nter fo r engagem ent and exchange. Trinity is impo rtant as an exampl e to o th er colleges because we have embraced multiculturalism, ack nowledging

that we do not entirely know how to accomplish the task. We are aggressive in seeking out the ideas and experiences of others interested in making similar changes, and we have a firm belief that we can accomplish our goal. Recently I attended a conference of administrators from New England who have organized to promote multiculturalism and diversity on their respective campuses. One representative came up to me and fervently applauded the retention conference organized by Sharon Herzberger, Trinity's vice president for student services. This administrator felt that faculty and administrators from first-ranked liberal arts colleges turned out in large numbers because they were drawn to Trinity's emphasis on getting it right. Rather than posing the challenge negatively, the conference held high aspirations for achi evement and success for students of color on campuses where such students had previously expressed feelings of isolation and alienation.

at Trinity. The latest graduation and retention analyses suggest strongly that, indeed, while we may be a welcoming institution we are not yet an institution that is as supportive of its increasingly diverse student population as it should be ." As you reflect on your first full year as dean of multicultural affairs, describe the foundation you think has been laid for continuing progress. What makes you optimistic? What distinguishes Trinity is not that we have solved problems relating to making Trinity fully multicultural but that we are

willing to face difficult issues head-on. Other colleges may have confronted similar challenges earlier; many of these have retreated from efforts to address enduring concerns, discouraged by failed attempts or disheartened by the current national climate of timidity and retrenchment. While Trinity may come to the effort of becoming fully multicultural later than some other schools with which we compete, Trinity is coming to the task with vigor and optimism and hopefulness. We don't pretend to know all the right answers, but we are beginning to ask all the right questions. We are approaching the task of diversifying with a faith that Trinity College can get it right.

What role do the students play in advancing the College's diversity agenda? 26

Students are critical in challenging th e College to move forward on its agenda. Students provide energy and urgency. Here for a relatively brief period, students nevertheless experience college as an important time for personal and intellectual growth. Creating a rich, embracing environment supportive of student development is critically important. After all, unlike faculty and staff, students cannot retreat to their own feathered nests. If they are to flourish, they have the choi ce to make the College environment livable or to leave. Practical necessity and youthful idealism power their demands for rapid transformation. In April 1999, before I arrived, President Dobelle a sent a long letter to students on the subject of multiculturalism at the College . In that letter he wrote, "There is ample evidence that we still have far to travel. Some people at Trinity may not understand why others feel so strongly that the College has not gone far enough. I do. I understand that in a country where not all citizens enjoy the same privileges-or respect-it is imperative that institutions and communities like Trinity serve as examples for society at large. I am concerned that too many students of color are either struggling academically or otherwise not very happy

Cornel West connects with students

he importance of multicultural matters at Trinity was demonstrated right off the bat this fall with the first lecture of the academic year 2000-01 . On September 7, Cornel West, author of the best-selling Race Matters, and considered by many to be the nation's preem inent African American intellectual, delivered an hour-long lecture and engaged students in a question and answer session that lasted nearly two hours. West, professor of Afro-American studies and philosophy of religion at Harvard University, discussed issues

of race in America and the growing gap between rich and poor as chal lenges we might begin to address as a nation by reinvigorating democracy. Quoting philosophers and political figures and posing thoughtprovoking questions to a captivated, standing-room -only audience, West exceeded the high expectations for a lecturer of his stature. "Trinity has continually sought to promote mean ingful discussions about issues that shape and define our society," says Karla SpurlockEvans, dean of multicultural affairs and director of affirmative action. "It was thrilling to have Cornel West, who has encouraged the discussion of race in a forward-thinking, empowering , and constructive way, join in the dialogue at Trinity."

Promoting a deep and subtle expression of ideas

D irk A. Kuyk,Jr.

BY LESLIE VIROSTEK

rofessor of English Dirk (Dutch) A. Kuyk, Jr., likes students to come to class prepared. Former student Tricia C. Balatico '99 recalls how she and a number of other students in his "Enlightenment" literature course discovered this the hard way. One day Kuyk surprised the class with a pop quiz after a particularly long and difficult reading assignment. A quick glance at the quizzes handed back to him revealed that the majority of the class had not completed the reading. Balatico describes how Kuyk called out the names of the handful of students who would be allowed to stay for the remainder of that class period. The rest, chagrined that they had disappointed their teacher, were banished for the day without further comment.

While Kuyk is known for being tough, it is the kind of toughness that inspires the desire to do well for him. "It meant a lot when he complimented us," says Balatico. "Students who get a C and who are used to getting A in English say that the C from him meant a great deal to them." A 19-year veteran of Trinity's faculty and the 1998 winner of the Brownell Prize for excellence in teaching, Kuyk inspires students at all levels, from novices in his basic expository writing classes and first-year seminars to more seasoned learners in his upper-level literature and graduate courses. A proponent of interdisciplinary learning who has team-taught with colleagues in the sciences as well as the humanities, Kuyk will be one of five faculty members teaching in

the Tutorial College, beginning this fall . This new and innovative multi-disciplinary program will offer qualified sophomores a unique "college within the College," featuring one-onone and small group tutorials and operating without structured class schedules. Kuyk says the Tutorial College, partly inspired by the tutorial system at Oxford and Cambridge universities in England, "will create a small, intensive community of learning that will be ideal for students whose minds 路 burn with imagination in the arts and in the sciences, and everywhere else ." Kuyk says he enjoys teaching for "the intellectual play," the back-andforth of classroom dialogue that promotes real thinking and, occasionally, a good laugh. "I almost never lecture," he says. " I almost always begin a class by asking the students, 'What do you want to talk about?' I expect them to think for themselves and to listen to each other and respond to each other." Kuyk is equally attentive to students' written work, and he likes writing assignments to be grammatically perfect and typo-free so that he may focus on the ideas being conveyed. He has been known to write a longer response to a paper than the paper itself. " I try to come at students from angles they don't expect," he says, so that they will learn to construct more thorough, careful arguments and preemptively address possible differing perspectives. In the classroom and on the page, he expects students' expression of ideas to be "deep and subtle."

A traditionalist and pioneer Director of the Writing Center and Associate Professor of Composition and Rhetoric Beverly C. Wall, who has

TEACHERS

team-taught with Kuyk on more than one occasion, says, " I think very highly of him both as a teacher and as a scholar." Together Wall and Kuyk developed the English 101 "Writing On-Line" course in 1994, in which students interacted with teachers and classmates electronically. Kuyk, says Wall, "has all the best" traditional skills of a classroom teacher, but can also be considered "a pioneer" for his willingness to experiment in a brand new pedagogical envirom11ent. In what may be considered a very experimental approach to teaching and scholarship, Kuyk is teaching two sections of a first-year seminar on "What Is Literature, and What's It For?" while concurrently writing a book on the same subject. After the students had been researching and thinking about the concept and uses of literature for several weeks, Kuyk began sharing chapters of his manuscript with the students for them to consider and critique; later he shared his revised copy. In this manner, Kuyk provides his students a unique opportunity not only to gain insight into the writing process, but also to participate in it.

Tricia Balatico says that flexibiliry and creativity are hallmarks ofKuyk's teaching. "He looks for the best way for students to understand the material ," she explains. If that means doing something a little different (like writing a parody rather than an expository paper) , so be it. Kuyk , who was Balatico's adviser for an internship at Fox 61 News, instructed her to write her final paper in journalistic fashion , as a magazine article rather than a regular academic paper; his rationale was that this approach offered a better way to showcase what she had learned. Students attest that Kuyk deftly manages to be demanding but generous, firn1 but not inflexible, experienced but innovative. After nearly two decades as a college professor, such agility and facility come naturally to Kuyk-so naturally that he's not reaLly conscious of doing anything special. And when questioned about his teaching style and techniques, he looks a bit baffled at first, as if teaching were some kind of automatic reflex that he was being asked to explain. "It's sort oflike breathing," he says.

Promoting knowledge that changes consciousness

oarded-up, abandoned buildings; persistent crime; and stubborn unemployment may be the bleak and familiar face of urban blight to most people. But to students in Assistant Professor of Sociology Lori G. Waite's "Urban Sociology" class, they are consequences of complex societal forces that penalize many urban residents, prevent them from improving their lives, and compromise the economic viability of America's cities. "People aren't necessarily poor because of their own fault," Waite asserts. "There are larger processes at work that sometimes

make it impossible for them to escape their situation. For example, in my classes I talk about institutional discrimination, or how institutions use biases and stereotypes to create policies or practices and the extent to which those policies and practices become embedded in the institutions' norms."

Roots in journalism Waite focuses on the impact of urban political process on social movements and collective action. After coming to know the problems facing people and cit-

ies as a journalist (among her jobs, she was an assistant field producer for Georgia Public Television and a feature writer for the Atlanta Tribune), Waite pursued her academic credentials. A native of Tennessee, she holds a bachelor's degree in journalism, master's degrees in both black studies and political science from Ohio State University, and a doctorate in sociology from Northwestern University. A faculty member at Trinity since 1998, Waite also teaches courses in African American women and social change, social problems, race and ethnicity, and qualitative research methods. She has contributed five entries to a new encyclopedic volume on the Civil Rights Movement scheduled to be published this year by Macmillan Publishing and a chapter on African American political consciousness to a book entitled Oppositional Consciousness, scheduled to be published by the University of Chicago Press this spring. She is also exploring the publication of her dissertation on the Chicago Freedom Movement.

Connecting everyday life and historical patterns According to Associate Professor of Sociology and department chair Stephen Valocchi, "Lori brings many things to the department. There is a way of looking at the world sociologically, that we refer to as 'the sociological imagination.' Lori has one of the most creative and insightful sociological imaginations that I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. She sees connections between everyday lives

and larger historical patterns and systems of inequality. She can get students to see these connections . Whether through the use of community learning, oral history and documentary, or participant observation, she insists that students 'get outside themselves' and see the world through other people's eyes. This way of teaching generates what I think of as 'deep knowledge'-a knowledge that is not only about concepts, definitions, theories, and history, but also and more importantly a knowledge that changes consciousness. That is a knowledge that is not easily forgotten." Waite says, "I have attempted to make my classes exciting and innovative places for students to learn. Because I have a strong commitment to teaching undergraduates, I try to cultivate the kind of relationship with students that conveys to them my commitment to teaching critical thinking in ways that enhance their intellectual and personal growth." For Waite, this has meant revising existing courses and developing new ones that employ her pedagogical approach. In the first new course Waite developed last year, "Urban Sociology, " she incorporated a community learning component to enhance students' understanding of race and class inequality. In a second new course she developed, "African American Women and Social Change," Waite addresses the dearth of scholarship on the participation of African American women in political movements. In her "Social Problems in America" course, she made the course material more meaningful by inviting guest speakers to class, including former drug abusers, a woman

Alissa Sexton '00 was amo ng the students in Waite's urban sociology class who compared urban issues in Hartford and New York by talking with activists and members of neighborhood organizations. Sexton examined community policing, focusing on the shootings of two African Americans by white police officers, Aquan Salmon in Hartford and Amadon Diallo in New York. "We learned a lot of tension exists between African Americans, Latinos, and the police," Sexton says. "I also learned about racial profiling (the alleged police practice of stopping African American or Latino drivers in hopes of finding evidence that would lead to an arrest) and discovered it's not an isolated occurrence, but a pattern." At the end of the class, the students joined with neighborhood activists from the two cities and shared their findings in a public panel discussion on campus. Ismael Ovalles '00, an economics and sociology double major who took three courses with Waite says, "Professor W aite's classes are intriguing. By studying people in an urban environment, you learn about yourself, no matter who you are, whether you live in the city, or if you're white and live in the suburbs." One of Waite's challenges as a teacher is to get her students to step outside of themselves and see the world from the perspective of groups that possess less power than they do. "As a sociologist I'm trained to analyze power relationships and the ways in which we all, to some degree, participate in and benefit from systems of oppression. I strive to teach students to question their own participation in hierarchical power relations. It's important for young people to develop the capacity for critical thinking because their understanding of the world shapes our future . I want ~tudents to become agents of positive social change.

A practice increasingly under scrutiny

Gpital punishment BY FRANK

KIRKPATRICK

'64

y n America today support for ..I.capital punishment has become both a litmus test for political candidates and a practice that is increasingly under scrutiny even by persons who support it in principle. If the issue were simply one of the effectiveness and fairness of capital punishment, the debate could be easily settled. Empirical evidence overwhelmingly shows that it does not work as a deterrent. Homicide rates in states with the death penalty are higher than in those without it. It is also manifestly unfair: African American men (over 95 percent of whom were too poor to hire their own lawyers) were almost four times as likely to receive the death penalty than nonminorities. Eighty percent of people sentenced to death were convicted of killing whites even though minorities make up more than half of all homicide victims. It is also increasingly clear that people have been sentenced to death without adequate defense or a chance to have exculpatory evidence presented during the increasingly restricted appeals process. But statistical analyses of the effects of capital punishment do not, despite their strong condemnation of it on grounds of fairness and effectiveness, get to the heart of the matter for those who support it. At the root of our current dis-

Until th ose of us who are opposed to capital punishment come to grips with the visceral emotions of rage, anger, and th e passionate desire for revenge, we ca nnot make mu ch headway with th e supporters of capital punishment. Wh en a loved one is killed, or someone is mu rdered in a parti cularly brutal way, people have a natural desire ro oted in th e deepest of human instin cts to seek reve nge or retribution. In th e absence of social restraints, these instin cts would lead some emoti onall y aggri eved perso ns to carry out acts of vigilante retaliation and revenge on th eir own. But th e mark of a civilized society is that it provides a stru ctured , just, and orderly way fo r violations of law to be handled and not ove rwhelmed by passion. It does not permit th e emotionally distraught, no matter ho w auth enti c th eir feelin gs, to be judge, jury, and executi oners of revenge. Why? Beca use, among oth er things, the emoti onal power of th e desire for revenge is so strong that in most cases it would distort th e would-b e avenger's ability to assess fa irly th e guilt or innocence of th e alleged perp etra tor. It wo uld pri vilege raw undisciplin ed power over delibera ti ve justice, and, above all, it would exacerbate th e emoti onal, psychological tra uma th at survivo rs of a heinous crime have to face by perp etuating the cycle of viol ence driven by a rage co mparable to that whi ch drove th e murd ere r to his or her destru cti ve acts. Killin g in a rage or out of a frenzied demand fo r retributi on rarely brings peace of mind to th e vigilante. R age and reve nge do not constitute mental health fo r th e perso ns who feel them . R emarkably, despite th e frenzied calls to " fry th e s.o .b ." th at one hears fro m people gathered o utside prisons the ni ght of an executi on, th ere are many people who have had loved ones killed who ultim ately find peace only after they have let go of th eir

feelings of hatred toward th e killer. Until they could reach reco nciliation witheve n fo rgive ness of- th e perpetrato r of such a terrible act, th ey remained victims of their ow n hate, impriso ned by fe elings th at were ea tin g th em up from th e inside. Fortun ately, beca use they were not give n th e possibility of enactin g immediate revenge, th ey had the opportunity, after ow ning th eir rage and anger, to stand bac k fro m the immedi acy of those feelings and to begin to see th e murderer as a fellow hum an being capable of change and redemption . They were fo rced to temper th eir ini tial feelin gs because the deliberati ve processes of justice demanded tim e to take in to acco unt a w hol e variety of fac tors, not just th e emotional sa ti sfacti o n of the would- be avenger. T hese fac tors include th e fairness of the applica tion of capital punishment and its effects on society, as well as on th e persons who must carry out th e fa tal ac t of retributi on. In addition, if th ere is du e respect (reli giously base d or not) fo r th e integrity eve n of the criminal as a human being, then the possibility of his or her redempti on and change of heart must never be ruled out, as demonstrated in the case of Karla Faye Tucker, who was executed despite her 'born again ' repentance and subseq uent exemplary behav ior in prison. Th e peri ods of reflecti on th e judicial

system fo rces on all th ose involved in a judicially sanctioned murder ca n bring about a redu cti on in the inunediacy of fee ling. As such th ey can bring to bear fo rces of reaso n, fai rness, and justice in ways th at temp er acts that wo uld oth erwise be o nes of murdero us revenge based o n instin ctu al rage. Therefo re, when th e state acts in its own right as an avenge r it cann ot claim the justifi cation of emoti o nal rage . Its ac ts are designed to be more measured and refl ec ti ve, taki ng into acco unt th ei r effectiveness and the higher principles ofj ustice. Wh en these are dul y considered in and th ro ugh th e de liberati ve processes of j usti ce, the empiri cal evidence as enum erated above undercuts any serious clai m to th e fai rn ess and effecti veness of capital punishment. In addi ti on, th e state cannot claim th at killin g a criminal is the last resort available to it, since indefinit e inca rcerati on is always an optio n. N or ca n it claim that it is simpl y exercising th e j usti ce of an eye-fo r-a n-eye beca use as Ga ndhi once said, if we live by that principle soo n th e whole world w ill be blind. T he justifi ca tion fo r state executi on therefore re mains onl y th at it serves as a surroga te for the rage of so me of its members. That j ustifi ca ti on is not wo rthy of a hu ma ne society.

a real opportunity for families throughout the Hartford area." Dedication ceremonies were held at a community open house on October 13. Among those present were Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development Cardell Cooper from the U .S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, U.S. Senator Christopher Dodd, U.S. Representative John Larson, and Commissioner Ted Sergi of the Connecticut Department of Education. President Dobelle, who took the role of master of ceremonies at the dedication, called the opening of the Leaming Corridor this fall "a historic event for the Hartford community and its children. The Learning Corridor is proof that citizens and conmmnity groups, working together with a local college, business leaders, other nonprofit organizations, fo undations, and local, state, and federal governments, can create positive and lasting change." Earlier that day in a separate ceremony, Dobelle presented Governor John G. Rowland, who was not able to attend the conununity open house, with a President's Medal for Excellence, the highest honor awarded to individuals who are not alu11U1i of the College. In honoring Rowland, DobeJJe acknowledged the governor's "quiet, consistent, unequivocal, and exemplary" leadership on the project. For his part, Gov. Rowland has called the Learning Corridor "one of the most successful urban redevelopment projects in Connecticut." He said, 'Tm especially proud of the way Trinity, the city, and the state were able to work togethe r, using education as a catalyst. I'd love to use the Learning Corridor as a model for what can be ac-

uring a visit to the Learning Corridor on September 25, U.S. Senator Joseph Lieberman was presented with a Trinity College President's Medal for Excellence by President Dobelle. Dobelle called the award "a token of Trinity College' s esteem and its appreciation for his advocacy and support for things that are so fundamentally in keeping with the College's mission, including outreach to the community right here in Hartford's South End ." The President's Medal for Excellence is awarded to individuals who have made extraordinary contributions to their community, public life, or issues of global concern and have distinguished themselves beyond the call of normal pursuits . It is intended to recognize individuals for exemplifying characteristics such as leadership, courage, integrity, loyalty, and commitment to public service that members of the Trinity community-students, alumni, faculty, and staff-strive to achieve. Lieberman , along with Congressman John Larson and Senator Christopher Dodd, were instrumental in securing federal funding for the $110.8-million Learning Corridor project. Lieberman and Larson were visiting the Learning Corridor' s Montessori Magnet School to announce a three-year, $1 .1-million federal grant that would allow schools in seven Connecticut towns to hire community police officers . Lieberman called the Learning Corridor a "national model of what the public sector and the private sector can do together to transform a neighborhood and to improve the lives of children ." In addition to awarding the medal , Dobelle announced that Lieberman would be presented with an honorary degree at Commencent in May of 2001. The highest honor that the president of Trinity can bestow on individuals who are not alumni of the College, the President's Medal for Excellence had been awarded only twice before. Previous recipients were Raul Hilberg, who is universally regarded as one of the world' s greatest Holocaust scholars, and Nguyen Van Dao, president of Vietnam National University.

to serve more than 1,400 children from Hartford and 44 of its neighboring communities. A substantial, and very positive, article in The New York Times on October 29, 2000, reported on the early successes of the Learning Corridor. In it, reporter

Stacey Stowe noted that the Corridor " has beco me a symbol o f renewal and of what one college can do fo r its community. " She we nt on to say that " w hen asked about the neighb orhood, the fi rst thing residents point out is the Learning Corridor as th e most potent symbol of change ." T he arti cle concluded wi th President D obelle's challenge to other schools to become in volved in th eir co mmunities. "W e' re trying to do the right thing.

T he T imes also cove red another aspect of th e Trinity/ SINA neighborhood initiati ve in a N ovember 1, 2000 sto ry on the "smart neighborhood" proj ect, which enables neighborhood residents and orga ni za tio ns to gain access to computers and th e Internet thro ugh a progra m operated by the College and funded by the W .K .

" One of the biggest challenges for the neighb orhood is its edu ca tion infrastru cture, w hich the Lea rning Co rrido r addresses ."

This Is Hartford's Triumph B Y EVAN S. D OBELLE

The following appeared on the op-ed page of the Hartford Courant on September 3,

2000. hen the doors open at the Learning Corridor on Tuesday to signal the start of a new school year, other signals will be sent as well. The city of Hartford will be signaling that there are other approaches to urban renewal and community-building than those that have been tried and all too often failed in the past. The opening of the Learning Corridor is a moment of triumph : The triumph of a new urbanism over the failed strategies of the past. The triumph of bold ideas over the status quo , of collaboration over politics and infighting . The triumph of hope over despair. This is Hartford's tri umph. As Gov. John G . Rowland said at the Learning Corridor groundbreaking, this "will be a model for the country." We have set the stage for a neighborhood revitalized and reborn as a community dedicated to the promise of children . The Learning Corridor has gone from vision to reality. To those more prone to skepticism and doubtful second-guessing than to optimism and can-do thinking, I have said that this project would succeed because it had to. Failure was not an option . The project had to succeed because the people in our neighborhood had had their hopes dashed too many times already. It had to succeed for the children who are this city' s and this nation's future, children who needed to be inspired to believe that there is a path-a corridor, if you will-that can lead them from preschool all the way to college and beyond . Mark Twain, one of Hartford' s greatest sons, once wrote, "It' s easier to stay out than get out." He was right. But Hartford is our neighborhood, our city-and in Trinity' s case, for 177 years, our home. We educated many of the city' s leaders. We are a significant force in its economy. We care about Hartford and its future. We draw on the city and the city draws on us . Our vitality and the city's vitality are linked .

Evan Dobelle

Trinity and its partners in the Southside Institutions Neighborhood AllianceHartford Hospital , Connecticut Children' s Medical Center, the Institute of Living, and Connecticut Public Television & Radio-rejected the arrogant and misguided strategy of setting out to shape the world in their own, preferred images . Instead , we invited all stakeholders to participate in defining the vision and setting the agenda for renewal of a community that belonged to all of us. No solution was imposed from on high . We brought questions, not answers, to the table. And, just as importantly, we insisted that egos be left at the door. While Trinity and SINA have garnered praise for the Learning Corridor and related

initiatives, we have been but one voice among many, driven only to see the widely shared hopes for this community, the hopes of those who call this neighborhood home fulfilled . Although we may feel triumphant on this momentous occasion , we are not yet victorious and must not be lulled even momentarily into self congratulation or complacency. Victory is not ours to claim yet, because there are more battles to wage. But we can move forward confident in the knowledge that we have found and applied a winning strategy in the SINA neighborhoods-one that can be used again and elsewhere in Hartford and that ought to be applied in other cities across the country. We have seen that community-building based on a strategy of coalition-building can work. We have seen that nonprofit institutions are prepared and able to serve as change agents and catalysts, playing a leadership role that in many urban centers is up for grabs. We have seen that education has a place at the core of urban renewal strategies . John F. Kennedy said once, "Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education ... The human mind is our fundamental resource." As cities in this country seek to renew themselves and to plant the seeds of economic development, may they not fail

Hartford's Education Jewel

our years ago, Trinity College President Evan S. Dobelle put forth a blueprint of reviving the bleak neighborhood adjacent to the campus and giving hope to its residents. This week, a major piece of that dream, the Learning Corridor, opened amid an atmosphere of pride and high expectation. The corridor's four schools will enroll 800 students this year, a number that will grow to 1,500 in the next three years. The students will come from Hartford and three dozen area towns. The accomplishment is remarkable and gives cause for celebration. At a time when so many highproflle projects in Hartford remain on the drawing board, here's one that became a reality because of the bold vision of Mr. Dobelle and many others who pitched in. The $110 million corridor is becoming a national model for two reasons: • A coalition of groups, public and private, came together to revitalize a neighborhood of crumbling housing, joblessness, crime and despair. The coalition includes the state and city, plus Trinity, Hartford Hospital, Connecticut Children's Medical Center, the Institute of Living and Connecticut Public Television.

• After years of mostly failed efforts to integrate schools in Greater Hartford in the wake of the Sheff vs. O'Neill court decision on racial desegregation, the Learning Corridor could become an example for voluntary integrated education from kindergarten through high school. The corridor's four schools are the Montessori Interdistrict Magnet School, the Hartford Magnet Middle School, the Greater Hartford Academy of Math and Sciences and the Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts. The schools make up the largest campus in the state, bringing together students from various racial and ethnic backgrounds from urban, suburban and rural addresses. The middle school is overseen by the Hartford school system, while the others are under the auspices of the Capitol Region Education Council. Hartford can now boast that it has schools drawing students from the city, as well as Avon, Simsbury, Glastonbury, Manchester, Southington, Wethersfield, Windsor Locks and other Hartfordarea towns. Perhaps the promoters of the Adriaen's Landing in downtown Hartford should visit again and again the Learning Corridor for ·tips on how to transform a major development project from dream to reality.

to recognize education as a chief instrument in effecting progress. The focus on revitalizing America's cities must be matched by a comm itment to revitalizing American education. Today we celebrate how far we have come, but tomorrow our work continues . Oliver Wendell Holmes once observed that "the g reat thing in the world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving ."

As Hartford moves confidently forward, buoyed by recent successes like the Learning Corridor, let us focus not on our weaknesses and liabil ities but on our strengths and our assets, and let us rededicate ourselves to shaping our own destiny. The words "I'm sorry" seem to be in fashion today, coming from pol iticians in public life o r private corporations, or anyone wanting to "spin" and move

quickly past yet another failure or unfulfilled promise. There is no "sorry" coming from Trinity today. We are happy and proud to have delivered on a promise. And we are deeply grateful for the enormous and broad support that has flowed to the college, to SINA, and to the Learning Corridor project d irectly, making this something so many people in this city and state can take pride in.

Baseball Sparked by a 7-2 opening trip to Fort Myers, FL, the 2000 Trinity College baseball team, under the direction of Head Coach Bill Decker, earned its third consecutive bid to the NCAA Division Ill New England Regional Championship tournament, extending its string of consecutive winning campaigns to 12 straight years. In 2000, the Bantams set several College team records, including for doubles in a season (81) and highest batting average (.341). Trinity opened with a 6-3 win over the University of Chicago and a 12-6 triumph over NESCAC rival Colby College. Junior right-hander Jarrett Bayliss tossed six scoreless innings against Chica.go and sophomore shortstop Andrew Freimuth notched five hits, a home run , and five RBI in the two games. The Bantams improved to 4-0 with a sweep of league nemesis Middlebury College (8 / 6-0/ 1). Freshman righthander Jonah Bayliss, Jarrett's younger brother, pitched a two-hit shutout in his College debut, which was followed by a one-hit, complete game win by senior lefty Brian Powell. Salve Regina University shocked the Bantams, who were ranked No. 26 in the nation before they had played a single game, with an 8-1 win on March 22. Trinity took out its disappointment on the Seahawks in the doubleheader's second half with a College-record 27-run

performance and a 27-3 vietory. Senior third baseman Jayson Barbarotta and senior rightfielder Todd Brodeur totaled four hits each and combined for 10 RBI. Trinity split a doubleheader with Union College (2 / 153/ 1), and downed Hartwick College, 2-0, to round out the trip. The elder Bayliss tossed a two-hit shutout against Hartwick. Trinity received another wake-up call in its homeopener on March 28 , when NESCAC rival Bowdoin College handed the Bantams

Jayson Barbarotta '00

an 8-2 defeat. The next day, Trinity bounced back with a 12-4 win over Worcester State, setting up a pivotal twin bill against Amherst College on April Fool's Day in Hartford . The Lord Jeffs outplayed Trinity in the first game with an 8-0 win, but the Bantam offense woke up in the second game, led by Powell at first base who went 4-for-4 with three RBI, and finished with a 9-6 victory. At 9-4, Trinity was ranked No. 5 in New England and No. 16 in the nation. The squad lived up to the hype over the first two weeks of April, winning six straight games. The Bantams beat W orcester Tech and Westfield State, swept a doubleheader over state and league rival Wesleyan University, and pounded Albertus Magnus, 16-6, before traveling to Medford, MA, for two games with its toughest competitor for the NESCAC's automatic NCAA bid, Tufts University. Freimuth won the NESCAC Player of the Week with eight hits in 16 atbats for the week of April 2-9 . Pitching was the story on April 15, as each team won a shutout. Jarrett

Bayliss allowed three hits in a 1-0 triumph in the first game, but the Jumbos won the second game, 8-0. The next day at Babson College, Trinity had 15 runs on 17 hits, including four hits, four runs, a double, and a home run by Powell and three hits by sophomore leftfielder Alan Andreini . After a 14-7 win over Western New England College, Trinity played a night game at Little East Conference power Eastern Connecticut. The Warriors won, 4-1, despite a strong pitching effort by Trinity senior righthander Brendan Moss, and the Bantams fell to 17-6 for the season. The squad enjoyed a fiveday lay-off with a rained-out doubleheader against Williams College before returning to the diamond against Springfield College on April 24. Jarrett Bayliss continued to roll with a three-hit, complete game win, 6-1, and Powell matched the pitching effort with a six-hitter the following day versus Rhode Island College. Trinity, desperate to get enough games in to qualify for the NCAA Tournament, played Western Connecticut on April 27 in a steady rain, defeating the Colonials, 26-3. Barbarotta led the way with four hits, while senior cocaptain centerfielder James Klocek had three hits, four runs, and five RBI and junior backup catcher Dane McCormick had three hits and three RBI. The Bantams entered the

The Bantams visited a tough Brandeis University squad on April 29, splitting a doubleheader with the Judges, last year's New England representative to the Division Il I World Series. Trinity lost the opener, despi te three hits and three RBI by sophomore second baseman Greg Spanos, but defeated the J udges, 12-6, in the nightcap . Moss allowed one earned run in five innings, and Powell and Barbarotta eac h had three hits to lead an 18-hit attack. Barbarotta was named the NESCAC Player of the Week with a .545 batting average, six runs, and five RB I in a 4-1 week for Trinity. The Bantams edged 24-11 Tufts for the NCAA bid out of the NESCAC with a 21-7 regular season mark. The

NCAA Division III Regional was hosted by No. 3-seed Southern Maine at Hadlock Stadium in Portland, and the Bantams, seeded No . 5, were matched up against No. 2 Suffolk University. Trinity was ready and opened up a 3-1 game with four runs in the sixth inning and seven in both the seventh and eighth frames. Brodeur had two hits and five RBI and Andreini belted th ree hits and two RB I, as Trinity took advantage of five Suffolk errors in a 21-4 triumph. A trio of righty relievers, sen iors Paul Gemelli and Pat Sheehy, and sophomore Justin Olewnik, held the Rams scoreless over the last four innings The next day, however, Southern Maine scored six runs in the first inning in the second round en route to a 12-5 win, sending Trinity into the loser's bracket of the double-elimination tournament. Sophomore centerfielder Steven Cella had two hits in the game for the Bantams. The Bantams' chances appeared good with another game against Suffolk, and in the eighth inning, Trinity held a 6-3 lead. But Suffolk scored four runs in the bottom of the eighth , as Trinity made two errors and walked in a run in the inning. The Rams escaped with a 7-6 win and Trinity suffered its second heartbreaking loss in two years in its elimination game of the tournament. Brodeur had two hits and senior cocaptain catcher Jake Miles, who earned Ali-Tournament honors along with Spanos,

scored a pair of runs for Trinity in the game. It was a frustrating loss but a satisfying year for the Bantams, and the eight seniors should be proud of their fine careers.

Softball Under the direction of Head Coach Fran Vandermeer, the Trinity College softball team showed glimpses of greatness and promising talent, despite finishing with a final record of10-19 (8-9 up north) . The season began in March with a spring training trip to Orange County, CA, for the Sun West tournament, where the Bantams faced some of the top Di vision lil teams in the country. Playing twelve games in just six days, while attempting to meld together a young and inexperienced group, Trinity managed two wins in the competitive tournament. The first was a 5-1 victory over Macalester College on March 21. In the win, junior shortstop Tricia Mase went 2-for-3 with a single, a double, and an RB I. The Bantams finished the trip with their second win against St. Benedict, 12-8. Returning to Hartford, Trinity kept the streak alive with a 5-4 win in its home opener against Smith College. A single by sophomore utility player Clare Bullock capped the five-run fifth inning, which clinched the win for the Bantams. Freshman leftfielder Sue Kelly showed promise with a two-run double in the victory. Trinity kept things going that week with a 5-2 win

over visiting Teikyo Post. Junior third baseman Brianna Stanton stepped up with a double and a triple, while senior co-captain catcher Caitlin Luz and sophomore outfielder Le sley Santini came through with doubles. The win was the first for sophomore pitcher H eather Standring, who struck out one and allowed nine hits. After two losses in a doubleheader against Amherst, the Bantams looked to right themselves against visiting Clark University. Despite two doubles and an RBI from Stanton, and a single and two-RB I do uble from Luz, Trinity lost to the Cougars, 7-6. Following a 7-2 loss at the Coast Guard Academy, the Bantams split a doubleheader with league rival Tufts. Trinity recorded a 4-2 victory in the first game thanks to freshman Kelly Kempner, who iced the win in the sixth inning with her two-RBI do uble. In the 1-3 week, Luz was 7-9 (.778) . Next came an encouraging 8-3 win against Eastern Connecticut and a sweep of a doubleheader at Bowdoin, 5/ 9-3 / 8. In the Eastern win, Mase, Kempner, and freshman Laura H eath were solid at the plate. Luz and sophomore Liz Bontempo provided sparks for Trinity in the Bowdoin victories-Luz with a second-inning homer and Bontempo with two vital RBI singles. Freshman pitcher Kristi McDermott came into her own that weekend, pitching a seven-hit, complete game against Eastern, and pitching both wins at Bowdoin.

After two tough losses against th e University of New England, Trini ty bounced back with a 10-0 troun ce of rival Wesleyan, in w hich Standring came within two outs of a no-hitter. The Bantams then fell twice to W estern Connecticut, 0/ 3-2/ 6, in their last doubleheader at home. Trinity's final game of the season was a solid 2-0 victory at St. Joseph College. McDermott pitched a threehit shutout, striking out two and walking none. Luz broke a scoreless tie wi th a solo homer in the bottom of the seventh, Bontempo followed with a single, and freshman first baseman Maureen Heneghan drove hom e Bontempo with a single.

Souers paced the offensive atta ck with five goals, w hil e the defensive unit of seniors Robb Kennedy and Bill Moyer, junior Matt Gjerulff, and freshman Will Seifert held the Continentals at bay all afternoon . Trinity trounced Geneseo State, 27-4, on March 22, as senior attackman Andy Hayes and ouers each had four goals. Sophomore reserves Sean Rohan and Alex Westcott took advantage of th e opportunity to play and delivered three goals eac h, as did freshman attackman Liam Allen. The Bantams rounded out th eir spring trip with a 15-10 win over Franklin & Marshall in Philadelphia. Jerry was brilliant with 16 saves, and Souers, H ayes, and freshman

attac kman Ravi Pillay had four goals apiece. The Bantams returned north and hosted NESCAC rival Connecticut College on March 29 . The Bantams edged the Camels, 9-7, as Trinity scored three thirdperiod goals to take the lead, including th e game-winner by senior attackman Alex Ullman . After a 15-8 win over previously undefeated Tufts University, Trinity made its first appearance in the national rankings at No . 20. The Bantams co ntinu ed to roll with an 11-6 win at Colby. Ullman totaled fi ve goals and fi ve assists in th e two NESCAC wins . Souers scored a hat trick in a 12-6 win at Amherst Col-

Men's Lacrosse With 14 seniors on th e squad, the 2000 Trinity College men's lacrosse team, under the direction of H ead Coach Mike Darr, was eager to reverse its fortunes from th e previous spring. The tea m had made the post-season in 1998, but fal tered in the second half of 1999 to fin ish at 4-8. Senior tri-captains Joe Brantuk, Matt Jerry, and Bobby Souers were determined to avoid the sa me fa te in their final spring. The seaso n began with a 15- 10 win over Bates College at H arvard University on March 12. Junior midfielder Mark Tassie sco red six goals and Jerry stopped 16 Bobcat shots in the victory. Eight day later, Trinity resumed play with a 10-7 triumph over H amilton College in Port Ri chey, FL.

lege to give Trinity a perfect 8-0 mark entering a crucial April 15 trip to Williams College. The Ephs erupted for 17 goals and edged Trinity by four goals in a disappointing loss for the Bantams. N ext, Trinity hosted Wesleyan, and junior midfielder David Achterhof provi ded the heroi cs, punching in the game-winning goal on a rebound with 16 seconds remaining for a 9-8 Bantam victory. Hayes scored four goals, while Jerry and Kennedy again powered a solid defensive effort. An 18-10 loss at national po werhouse Middleb ury College was closer than the sco re indicates . Trinity trailed 1210 after three quarters, thanks to five goals by Pillay and two by Ullman. A 7-3 loss in the pouring rain at Eastern Connec ticut followed despite 18 saves by Jerry. Trinity goals were scored by Pillay, Hayes, and junior middie Peter Rogers. The Bantams closed out the seaso n against 11-2 Bowdoin College on April 29 in Hartford. The Polar Bears took charge with a six- goal second quarter in a 16-11 win. The Joss was th e third straight for Trini ty. T assie sco red four goals and Jerry had 17 saves in a losing effort. Trinity earned the No. 4 seed in the ECAC Di vision III N ew England Championship and hosted Wesleyan in the first round. The Cardinals got their revenge with a 13-9 win and th e Trinity season end ed ea rly with four co nsecutive losses. Souers kept the gan1e close with four goals, and Tassie, Ullman,

Rogers, senior midfielder John Harrelson, and sophomore long stick John O'Brien added scores for the Bantams. Still, the 14 seniors enjoyed their finest season in four years and were competitive in every defeat. The attitude and determ.ination of the 2000 squad was the best in recent memory for the Trin.ity laxm en, which bodes well for the future of the program.

Women's Lacrosse

Playing perhaps the most competitive schedule in Division lll , the Trinity College women's lacrosse team finished with a final record of 38. Trinity failed to reach the post-season in 2000 but saw the development of several young players who are determined to make it back there. Head Coach Kara Tierney will look forward to leading th e way in her seco nd season at the helm next spring. Trinity started out the 2000 season in Panama City, FL, against Hamilton College. The Bantams edged the Continentals, 10-9, allowingj ust two second-half goals. Senior goalkeeper Kate Derosier made 14 saves, while sophomore midfielder Anna Sullivan had four goals for Trinity. In its second game in Panama City, Trinity was overpowered by national powerhouse William Smith College, 23- 9. Four Bantams scored two goals apiece, ineluding junior middie Quinn Smith and freshman m.idfielder Elizabeth Miller. Next, the Bantams returned to New England to

visit NESCAC rival Tufts University . The Jumb os produced four second-half goals to beat the Bantams, 8-4. Sullivan and freshman attack Laura Davis recorded a goal and an assist each. Playing its first home game of the season, Trinity fell short against Connecticut College, 6-4 . A fine defensive effort by seniors Kristin Arnold and Daphne deDominicis, junior Mary Jacobs , and freshman Maria Lingnau, along with Derosier, was wasted as Trinity managed just 12 shots in th e game. With a 1-3 record, the Bantams faced a pivotal weekend on the road at Colby and Bates. The Bantams fought back froiÂľ a 12-5 halftime deficit against the White Mules, but ran out of time in a 14-12 defeat. Sm.ith and senior captain midfielder Jess Martin scored four times apiece for the Bantams. Trinity finally put another victory on the board, erupting for 17 goals in a 17-4 triumph at Bates. Sullivan led the scori ng parade with five goals, while Martin had three goals and two assists, and Davis added three goals and one assist. On April 12, Trinity hosted Wesleyan University. T he Bantams continued to rack up goals and build momentum with a 16-4 win against the Cardinals. Sullivan and sophomore attack Ashley Taylor each netted six goals. After Derosier stopped 11 shots, sophomore Kelly Jo Burnett took her place in the net. A difficult task lay ahead with und efeated Williams

College on th e sc hedul e fo r April 15. The Ephs overcame a heroic 27-save perfonnance by Derosier to record a 12-4 win . Martin notched a hat tri ck for Trinity. Derosier was rewarded with the ECAC Goalie of the Week award. In the season's final three games, Trinity stru ggled to come up wi th a victory. The Bantams fell to 3-6 with an em barrassing 19-0 loss to M.iddlebury, followed by a 20-6 defeat at the hands of the Amherst Lady Jeffs. In the regular season finale against a strong Bowdoin squad, the Bantams played almost even with the Polar Bears, but dropped a 10-8 decision. Arnold, Jacobs, Lingnau , and freshman Eliza Hurd gave a valiant effort defensively, allowing Derosier to get by on just nine saves. Sullivan scored three goals, as did senior attack Amanda Marsh, who played her best game in her final collegiate appearance. Although th e outcome was the same, Trin.ity's solid play in its last contest was encouraging. Trinity suffered from a lack of experience and an outbreak of injuries, while adj usting to a new coach and a new style. Smith, Ja cobs, and junior attack Melissa Marlette still remember what it takes to have a winning season, and the underclassmen proved they have the skills. The future should look more like the past for the Bantam women's lacrosse program in 2001.

Men's Tennis The 1999-2000 Trinity College men's tennis team, und er the direction of Head Coach

Paul Assaiante, finished with an impressive 13-5 record, earning its second straight bid to the NCAA Division Ill Championship Tournament. The fall season included several singles and do ubles tournaments and only one dual match, a 7-0 sweep at Springfield College. Following their successful campaign, the Bantams were ranked No. 8 in NCAA Division lII by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association. Junior Rostyslav Orach was listed as the No. 5 singles player by the IT A as wel.l. Spring brought the annual training trip to Hilton Head, SC, where Trinity faced some of the NESCAC's finest squads. The Bantams blanked Colby, Hamilton, and Hobart, and downed Middlebury, 6-1, but fell, 61, to league rival Bowdoin, to give them a 4-1 record on the trip. After returning to Hartford in April, Trinity defeated University of Rochester, 6-1, and squeaked by visiting Swarthmore College, 4-3, thanks to Alex Valente and Jared Sheikh. The senior captains posted wins in the No. 2 and No. 3 singles matches, respectively, and teamed up to take the No. 3 doubles match. April 5 brought the Lord Jeffs of Amherst to Hartford, but the home court advantage was not enough as Trinity fell, 4-2, to the visitors. However, the next two weeks were smooth sailing for the Bantams, who went on to win their next five matches. Included in the sweep were 6-1 wins against Coast Guard,

Tufts, and Wesleyan, and 7-0 routs agai nst Connecticut College and Brandeis. Trinity, ranked No. 5 in th e East in NCAA Division lll, fell to top-ranked MIT on April 20, as Orach was the only Bantam to emerge victorious with his 6-2, 3-6 , 6-0 wm. Two days later, Trinity dropped its match to NESCAC rival Williams in a 6-1 loss at home. Senior captain Matt Sharnoff was the only winning singles player. However, the Bantams were able to finish the regular season on a good note, thanks to a 5-2 win at Skidmore. The victory gave Trinity a 13-4

reco rd heading into the NESCAC Championships held at Middlebury on the weekend of April 28th. In the league tournament, Sharnoff won two matches before losing in the finals of the No . 4 singles flight by default, while Valente and freshman Muammer Kh an made the semifinal rounds at No. 2 and No. 3 singles, respectively. Trinity finished tied for fourth place in the NESCAC with Bowdoin, while Williams topped the league for th e seventh consec utive season. For the second straight year, the Bantams were awarded a bid to the NCAA

Division Ill Championships. Facing the Polar Bears of Bowdoin, who beat the Bantams back in March during their Hilton Head trip, Trinity ended the season with a painful 4-3 loss . The match score was knotted at 3-3 when Bowdoin senior Jeff Gilberg defeated Trinity senior captain Steve Wohlford in a hard-fought, three-set match, 6-1, 4-6, 6-2, at No. 6 singles. The following weekend, Orach was invited to compete in the NCAA Division Ill Singles Championships at Kalamazoo College in Michigan, but he fell in the first round, finishing with a respectable 15-4 singles record. With the return of Orach and Khan, the future looks bright for the team, despite losing an outstanding quartet of seniors.

Outdoor Track and Field

Tri-captain Erica Johnson '00 led the Trinity women's tennis squad to its fi rst NCAA appearance this spring.

The Trinity College track and field program had a solid spring season under first-year Head Coach G eorge Suitor in 2000.

Leading after three events, Rival was called for a qu esti onable disqu alifica tion in the 200-meter run . Th e setback was too mu ch to overcome. Rival ended in fifth despite earning no points in one of her strongest events. She will be hun grier next spring as she will undoubtedl y contend for the nati onal title. And the Bantams will once again be among the top squ ads in New England.

Rowing The T rini ty C ollege rowing teams compl eted an outstanding season in 2000, fini shing first overall at th e N ew England R owing Champi onships in W orcester, MA .

When it made him a man of color. Some saw him as strange Said take caution This man's different language makes him sound deranged And all the while they knew that to misconstrue the facts with walking in his brother's shoes Would be an unjust attack

Jamal Lacy '02 or Jamal Lacy, poetry isn't simply an exercise in aesthetics. A political science major with a desire to hold public office some day, Lacy sees poetry as a way to express his observations of the world around him. "A lot of my poems focus on political and social issues. Often, but not always, they are about race and about people's perceptions of reality. Poetry can be political or philosophical or whatever you want it to be." Lacy's preparation for a life ofleadership began early . He was elected to the student council in middle school, was class president all four years in high school, and is now president of lmani, Trinity's black student union. He hopes to go on to law school and eventually into a career in politics. Despite what promises to be a busy future, Lacy plans to continue writing poetry, since it provides a unique way to, as he puts it, "describe the times in which the poet lives."

But they thought, "We didn't start the fire" burning bright had long before kindled And their desire was to treat "everyday people" with arrested development Cause ignorance takes strong men and makes them "Mr. Wendals" This native born son of the land heard shouts of hate and reprimands and to this date he hears them in his sleep ... To this man of color thought he'd crumble for he was weak But his brother stood tall with the look of defiance embedded in his skull Refused compliance with the thought That he's a slave mental games he caught hold of himself finding courage from his pain He's the symbol of defiance, the symbol of will don't tell him otherwise for he knows he's got skills

A MAN OF COLOR But you don't recognize They saw him strolling in the backfields of society's outskirts unknown, unkempt by circumstance thought by chance This creature had smothered in dirt for his skin had been stained with a tan

And that's your mistake Understand this brother holds his fate in his hands for ill will taught him to overcompensate

Who was this man who walked in moccasins filled with sand with a da shiki on his back had his head in his hands

A rich king of royalty uncrowned of all things mistreated and all things put down Inferiority's deleted Cause now this brother knows stands on solid ground

Bearing the burden of the world Banished by fears Misty blue That's true As distant as the ocean that was formed from his tears

A man once was stressed but learned that hard times manifest into situations where he's at his best Hence the man of color can always pass life's tests

He was a man of color! And like no other this brother had talents that were yet to be discovered but roadblocks were rooted in his path and he knew it See the wrath of nature's scorn took on physical forn1

For he knows humility Has honor and dignity Don't get it twisted This brother's nobility HE'S A MAN OF COLOR!!!

Gina 'Zarra Blum '89 President Our annual freshman reception, held on Thursday evening, August 24, was a great success. Many thanks to our hosts, Alex and SaIIy Lynch P'03, '04, Kingsley Lynch '03, and Maisie Lynch '04. Their gracious efforts gave incoming freshmen, along with their parents, a warm Trinity welcome and a memorable send-off. The faII admissions-support program is off to a strong start. Volunteers from Fairfield County are actively supporting the College's admissions effort on the local front. On June 11, alumni and their guests attended a pre-performance cocktail reception and a performance of Art at Stamford's Palace Theater. An exceilent rime was had by all! We also joined the Trinity Club of New York at the 2000 U.S. Open on August 30. In the works for this winter are an indoor rock-climbing out-

HARTFORD

•

Donna F. Haghighat '89 President

While we were very busy during the fall and winter, the club slowed down during the spring and summer months to reorganize for the fall. However, several events were held. At the end of April, we had an event on campus for families. We joined in on the Fun Fair festivities organized by the Triniry College Activities Council. In July, the club bid a sad farewell to a member of the executive committee. Wayne Ogorzalek '95 left Hartford to pursue an MBA degree. He will be missed by committee and club members. Emily Beales '99 has graciously agreed to take over Wayne's responsibilities in organizing young alumni events for club members. The annual carillon concert and cookout to welcome the Class of 2004 was held in August. Kathy Maye Murphy '78 organized a pre-cookout tour with carillonneur Dan Kehoe '78. While a small group rook advantage of the tour, attendees had a wonderful time. In September, Ernie Mattei '70 organized a luncheon with Head Football Coach Chuck Priore. A good crowd gathered to hear Coach Priore's views on the upcoming season, and alumni had the opportuniry to meet the captains and other coaches from the team. The club also held a fundraiser in September. ''A Taste of Spain" attracted approximately 30 alumni for a night of sampling Spanish foods and wines. Martin Robbins-Pianka from Spiritus Wines generously donated wines for the evening. The session was very educational, as Jim Chegwidden spoke about different wines while the group sampled the wines throughout the evening. Thank you to Matt Woods '92 who organized this great event! Club members also enjoyed a wonderful night at the

Wadsworth Atheneum to view "Impressionists at Argenteuil" this October. In November, the Club hosted the annual banquet where the Person of the Year Award was given to John Clifford '76 for his outstanding work on behalf ofTriniry. At the dinner, Donna Haghighat handed over the reins of the presidency to Executive Vice President Matt Woods '92. Donna has done a wonderful job leading the Hartford Club for the past two years, and her service (and meetings) will be a hard act to follow. Thank you, Donna!

NEW HAVEN

David R. Lenahan '84 President The Triniry Club of New Haven has had a quiet spring and summer. Once again this year, about 15 Book Awards were donated by the club to rising seniors at local high schools, including: Amiry Regional (Bethany, Orange, Woodbridge), Derby High, East Haven High, Guilford High, Hamden Hall Country Day, High School in the Communiry, Hillhouse High, Daniel Hand High (Madison), Morgan High School (Clinton), Sacred Heart Academy (Hamden), West Haven High, and Wilbur Cross. Selection committees at the schools are asked to reward overall good citizenship and contribution to the well-being of the high school communiry, rather than simply considering academic record. This ties in nicely with Trinity's own focus on communiry involvement and service through rhe Learning Corridor. Any new alumni entering the New Haven area are urged to contact Dave Lenahan '84 at 203-294-9006 for information on the club. Others with ideas for exciting new sranding-roomonly events are also asked to share their ideas and opinions with the club.

NEW YORK

Robin E. Halpern Cavanaugh '91 President The Triniry Club of New York had an engaging fall that starred

with the annual trip ro The U.S. Open Tennis Tournament. In October, the Young Alumni kicked off the year with a very successful event at Sutton Place with well over 100 people in attendance. The fall schedule was highlighted by a sold-our lecture by Robert Sachs, President and CEO of the National Cable Television Association, at the Loros Club. This event was cosponsored wirh Triniry by The National Cable television Museum and Center thanks to an endowment funded byTriniry Trustee, Ray Joslin '58. The winter and spring seasons look to be filled with wonderful events including an exhibition by the Triniry Men's Squash Team, The Annual President's Reception, a lecture by Laury Minard '72 of Forbes Magazine, and a chamber music concert with Triniry Professor Doug Johnson.

PHILADELPHIA

Christian Bullitt '95 and Courtney Bullitt '96 Co-presidents The Triniry Club of Philadelphia is under new leadership - Christian and I officially rook over at the beginning of the summer, just after our son, Will, was born! Our first official event as co-presidents was the annual send-off picnic for incoming freshmen. The picnic was hosted by Tim and Sandy Greenwood P'O 1 and rook place ar their home. There were many families of new students in attendance, as well as current Triniry students and other members of the club. Mickey Lloyd '60 was on hand to welcome the new students and to say a few words about the College. The new students were excited about their upcoming college experience and were pleased to have the chance to meet each other before starting their first semester at Triniry. The fall was highlighted with a presentation by three Triniry coaches and the athletic director, Rick Hazelton. Included were Men's Squash Coach Paul Assaiante, Associate Arhletic Director Robin Sheppard, and new Football Coach Chuck

Priore. The coaches gave great insight as to the role of athletics at a liberal arts college. As for the coming year, the Club will host the men's squash team at Chesmur Hill Academy in January, a Valentine's Day concert ar the Philadelphia Orchestra, the women's lacrosse ream ar Haverford College in April, and the Annual President's Reception in May. Currently, we are actively recruiting members for the club's executive committee and would love to hear from anyone who would like to be involved. If anyone is interested, please feel free ro call us ar 610-649-1048. Thar's all for now from Philadelphia.

SAN FRANCISCO

In May, 30 local alumni and their families went ro the beautiful new Pac Bell Park to cheer on the local nine (who by the time you read this will be World Series champs!). In June, Scott Raymond '00 helped organize a career networking day. About 75 alumni and current students attended to talk about local business and career opportunities in the hoc Bay Area marker. Josh Sanderson '96 has been keeping the young alumni happy hours hopping throughout the town. This looks like a tradition in the making! Finally, Scott Gerien '90 and Kelli Tomlinson '94 hosted a reception at the Branscen House for the nine Bay Area students who are attending Triniry this fall. Dim sum, a local Chinatown favorite, was served since we know it might be hard for them co find this delicacy in Hartford!

Let me begin by admitting that through the years I have become a more and more spasmodic reporter of news of this illusrrious C lass. I scarcely know how to express my sense of indebtedness to many who have sent in rhe information that makes up rhis column. Ar mis rime, rhanks to compurers and e-mail, most news comes from BOB GILBERT, who, at this writing, is some-

where between Maine and Cape Cod, wending his way sourhward as he has done for so many years. He writes rhar he is about to sell his home in Florida and join a retirement village. He also informs us char HENRY FULLER now resides in a retirement communiry in Peterboro, NH . He's still able to drive his car, but is experiencing vision problems rhat seem to come to many. YOUR SECRETARY also does nor see as well as he used to and will undergo laser eye surgery soon in an effort to stem the deterioration rhar has hampered me for some time. A great whirlwind of acriviry is raking place in Tryon, NC, for JACK LEON says that he has sold his home (in rhe space of two weeks!), and now finds himself in a condo and in rhe rhroes of designing and building a smaller abode. As this is nor enough to keep a busy fellow occupied, Jack became president of his Rotary C lub in June. That wraps up rhe news for rhis time. Whenever you have a minute to spare, drop me a note of your whereabouts and activities. James M. F. Weir 27BrookRd.

PAUL BILKA of Excelsior, MN was presented with an alumni achievement award during Reunion. In private medical practice for more than four decades, he has served as a clinical professor of medicine at the Universiry of Minnesota. His dedication to advancing the field of rheumatology was recognized with his election to the prestigious position of master of the American College of Rheumatology. He has also demonstrated steadfast commitment to the College through the establishment of the Neighborhood Scholarship Fund, which provides financial assistance to Hartford students pursuing college degrees. RICHARD MORRIS writes, "This year I missed my 60th Reunion, the first I was forced to by-pass in 60 years. It was a sad decision to have to make, but health had its own demands." In May, the Holland Comminee met at his home to review the distribution of its souvenir booklet, commemorating the lOOth anniversary of the U.S. Navy's first submarine, the USS Holland. Discussion ranged from responses from museums in England, Ireland, and the United States to translations of documents from Japan and Russia regarding Holland submarines.

Professor Morris is the biographer of John P. Holland (18411914). He says, "I may be immobile now, but I still find life exciting. My wife's son is sailing alone around the world in a 27foot cutter. He's about to leave New Zealand for Fiji or New Caledonia. I've circled the globe, but not south of the equator, so now I must master the geography of the world Down Under."

41 ~~;~~::~. It

is a melancholy fact that as few as seven classmates constitutes a record for these gatherings. Present with their better halves were KEN ADAMS, DICK BLAISDELL, LOU BUCK, DON DAY, FRANK KELLY, ED SMITH, and JIM SPENCER. In view of my last year's oversight, I had the date circled on my calendar. But, just in case, I got wake-up calls from Helen Smith and Dick Blaisdell. I had hoped to get some news from those present, but had my usual lack of success. Lou Buck said that "we just plod along, putting one foot in front of the other." I guess that all the rest of us might as well get in step with Lou. IRWIN MANCALL tells me

that his son, JIM '86, has been appointed assistant dean of freshmen at Harvard Universiry. Iva and I visited the southeast coast, from Savannah to Charleston. On the way, we visited Hilton Head, where our classmate GEORGE BUTTERWORTH takes his ease. On the basis of a visitor's passing impression, I can say that, in selecting a place of retirement, George has shown the good judgment one would expect of a Triniry alumnus. Hematologist JOHN HARRIS was featured in a Medical Hall of Fame published in Cleveland Magazine.

~~years,

WOOD was returned to the ground he loved to tread. On June 29, 2000, exactly a year after he died, his ashes were buried a stone's throw from the old gym, now torn down, where he faithfully served as trainer to our athletes, his ashes interred in the north shadow of the Chapel. We prayed during the comminal, led by the Rev. Nancy Miller. Of the 179 who matriculated that day in late September 1938, a small contingent attended the service: DON VIERING (who did one of the readings in the chapel service after the burial), TOM TAMONEY, JOE BEIDLER, DICK BESTOR, ROGER MORHARDT (who served as a trainer, along with Marry), BILL MIDDLEBROOK, CHARLIE JOHNSON, and myself. JOHN BONEE '43 and BILL PEELLE '44, from different classes, were also there. Marjorie and Marry, Jr. want to thank, through this column, those above-mentioned who attended the services. After Chapel, we circled a newly planted tree dedicated to Marry near the Chapel rose garden. Marty's will sets up a rrainingroom fund to which anyone may make a memorial donation

(address: Triniry College Development Office, 300 Summit St., Hartford, CT 06106-3100). I talked to another generous Triniry donor, DAN NORTH, at his home in Litchfield, CT. The February issue of Trinity Update described Dan's gifr in memory of MARK RAINSFORD '4 1, killed in a wartime plane crash. Mark was a talented artist and Dan, an English major, so Dan set up a scholarship fund for students who pursued those majors. Dan had the job that is the envy of many big ciry editors. He was editor of the Litchfield Enquirer. His most vivid memory of many was when he scooped New Haven and everyone else by getting out an edition after the flood of'55 . Dan sounds the same, but he no longer smokes the pipe that never left his jaw when in school. Dan was in the Coast Guard in WWII and served in Africa and Italy which kept him from meeting HENRY ROTHAUSER, who served with the Coast Guard in northern waters. I was happy to see and chat with Bill Middlebrook. He has the fortunate situation ofliving in Vermont in the summer and Naples, FL in the winter. He still looks as though he could play a dynamite game of tennis. His fraterniry brother, Charlie Johnson, attended, as noted above. In the course of the luncheon that followed the service, Charlie magnanimously accepted the job of Class President left vacant by Marry's death. Charlie's connections with Triniry span the generations before and after him, and we all remember his brother, also our classmate, who died tragically in the war. Charlie did a great job as Class Agent in the time leading up to our 50th Reunion - not an easy job. Got a letter and newspaper clippings from MIKE ZACCARIA, who is extraordinarily active in Houston, TX. He heads a company that owns the Cameo Theatre, once famous, but now defunct, situated in historic St. Paul Square. Mike is determined to bring the

theater back. You will remember that Mike was a career psychologist. Maybe there's a connection between the theater and psycho!ogy? Whatever, Mike doesn't seem to have lost a step. Got a second letter from JOHN BOND. (If everyone were as assiduous a correspondent as John, this column would be easy to write.) John has bought the new College directory and is writing to his old friends all over the place. He's been in touch with JOHN PAYNE and GUS PETERSON, both of whom went into the ministry - Gus's being a late vocation. Both John and Gus attended the 50th and led the Chapel prayer for our deceased classmates. John also mentions his roommate, FRANC LADNER, still on Cape Cod. Frank is a good correspondent, too. As usual, we spend our summers in northern Minnesota, where we are in touch with JESS SWEETSER's widow and visit her at their retreat on Madeleine Island. I called the home ofBOB PILLSBURY because one of his major philanthropies, the Duluth Aquarium, opened on July 29. As I reported in an earlier column, this will become one of the most important research centers for freshwater studies in the wo rld. I fo und out that Bob was in a nursing home. Bob has been generous to Trinity, too. As a final note, let me give a brief summary of where things stand with our Class. There are about 80 of us surviving, which I think is a pretty good number. I have been secretary since I was elected (while I was our of the room, I might add) at the 50th Reunion. There are about 20 classmates whom I have not spoken to. I hope to rectify that in the comings months or even years, God willing. Of course, if you called or wrote ro me, it would save a lot of work.

DAVE PECK, whom we elected our class president during undergraduate days, President of the College Senate, Intrafraternity Council Treasurer and "Most Popular," died on March 27, 2000. Due to his warm, friendly, outgoing and prepossessing nature, Dave was universally known and admired by his classmates, and by the entire undergraduate body, during the early 1940s. Our deep sympathy goes out to Dave's wife Fay, his two sons, two daughters and eight grand children. A wellwritten news story by a Chicago Tribune staff writer captures the essence of Dave's many admirable traits which we well remember, and I quote from the story written by James Janega and carried by The Tribune in late March, this year: "David Bell Peck III, 78, a Chicago insurance executive and bon vivant whose looks, exotic travels and hail-fellowwell-met attitude landed him among the city's most eligible bachelors in the 1950s (and endeared him in Chicago social circles ever since), died of leukemia Monday, March 27, in Bad Nauheim, Germany, where he had gone for treatment. Mr. Peck, a resident of Lake Forest, was an executive at the Chicago insurance firm of Lamb, Little & Co., but was as well known for hosting and attending soirees with his wife Fay, an accomplished local painter. Although Mr. Peck was voted one of Chicago's most eligible bachelors in 1954 - just weeks before his wedding - his male friends remembered him as an energetic squash player who once organized a country club softball league. He was a beguiling at back-yard barbecues and across lunch tables as he was at balls and posh art shows. A jet setter, Mr. Peck and his wife had a vacation home in Aspen, Colorado, took regular ski trips to St. Anton in the Austrian Alps, and received frequent mentions in Chicago society columns. Mr. Peck liked to joke and tease, friends said, and though he sometimes poked fun at others, none took offense. "He was

always kidding you, you know," said Donald McSweeney, another of Chicago's former eligible bachelors. "I always knew when I had lunch with him that he would tell a funny story." He served as an Italian interpreter for the Army during World War II, and after the war entered the insurance business, making vice president at Lamb, Little by the time he was 28. He was credited with helping the company grow from a small business into one of the 20 largest insurance firms in Chicago. Even in recent years, said Tim Lain, an agent at Lamb, Little, "he was one of the top sellers in the agency. He just wanted to keep working because he enjoyed the contact with peopie and clients." "It's hard to say why he was so special, except that people meant a lot to him, and so he meant a lot to them," said Mary Jane Clay, another friend." As Dave came to be known to his friends in Chicago, so was he known to us, his classmates. We shall miss him indeed. JIM MURRAY, the Class of 1943's Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, established a foundation, which annually awards scholarships to deserving students majoring in Journalism and one scholarship to a Trinity College student majoring in English. Emily Gresh, a West Hartford Connecticut English Major at Trinity was one of the first recipients of the James Murray Memorial Scholarship. ART HEALY, BOB HALE, CARLOS RICHARDSON and Your Secretary were at 1943's table at the Half Century Banquet in Mather Hall on June 8th during Reunion weekend. Joy Hale, Jean Richardson and Elaine Bonee were also in attendance bringing beauty and sparkle to the dinner table. BOB TOLLAND '42 and Caitlin McCarthy, staff member, and the Department of Alumni Relations, adding to the conviviality, joined them. KEN YUDOWITCH. In recently Published Gass Notes, you were promised publication of Ken's invitation to his 80th birthday celebration, which was not available at the time the Notes

were prepared. Here follows in "Classic Yudowitch'', verbatim, the invitation from 43's author and humorist: "INVITATION, February 24, 2000, Dear Friend(s), This is to proclaim a congregation on the twenty-first day of March in the year 2000 of assorted friends of Dr. Kenneth Yudowitch to commemorate his achievement of surviving eighty years on this woebegone planet. Now, after twenty-one years of childhood, twenty years of family and career, ten years of post-marital dissipation , and twenty-four years of non-productive retirement, Kenneth celebrates his continuing reluctance to depart for the great beyond. The festivities will take place at Dr. Yudowitch's home at noon of March 21 , and conclude when the last hangerson leave. Overnight accommodations are limited to half of Ken's queen bed, and a queen bed in a second bedroom. Other accommodations include a living room sofa, a recliner chair, miscellaneous floor space, and local motels.

MERRITT JOHN QUEST ("Moo") wrote late in May that he and his wife, Ellen, had just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. It is to be inferred from Moo's letter that, at the celebratory dinner, DICK MECASKEY '51 distinguished himself as a toaster, causing Moo to ask why "so many Trinity men are so good at toasting." He would probably we!-

CLASS

come any reasonable explanation - other than that which I offered - of how Trinity alwnni have acquired that special gift. Moo wrote again in July to tell about a collegiate song book, published in 1900, which his daughter bought for him because one of the songs was ti tied "Trinity Chimes." It turned out, as he started his letter, that Moo found, in small print, that the song was Yale's, not Trinity's. Its journey to the Trinity Library ended with that discovery. Moo did, however, send a copy of the song, and I shall send it to the alumni office and ask that it be turned over to whatever singing group at the College might be interested in its clever and hwnorous content. Along with the song, Moo provided his comments - not at all complimentary - on the film version of The Peifect Storm, and he speculated gloomily on Gloucester's fate, given the film's popularity and the national liking for theme parks. In doing so, he leaves me a fragile segue to the fact that I spent 10 days ofJuly in Iceland with one of my daughters and her husband, a vulcanologist and professor at the graduate school of oceanography at the University of Rhode Island. T hey offered me an introductory course to the country's history and culture and to various volcanic formations in West Iceland. Daytime not far from the Arctic Circle is long; there was opportunity to see most of the birds to be found in that part of the country, even to get out fishing for cod. No theme parks; very few people outside of Reykjavik and Stykkisholmur, the town where we stayed, and no likelihood that Disney will gain a foothold or mouse hole ever. A nice, but too brief, escape from summer's hurricane of visitors along this part of the Atlantic coast.

Judge FRED NEUSNER '47 was married in Tampa, FL to Lillyan G. Osiason on March 25, 2000. Prior to his appointment as an admi nistrative law judge in the U.S. Department of Labor, he was an assistant attorney general for the State of Connecticut. He is currently serving as a senior administrative law judge and living in Tampa at Monte Carlo Towers. After 43 years of active practice as a pediatrician in Avon, DR. LOTHAR CANDELS '46 bid adieu to his medical practice to devote more time to photography, hunting, and fishing, and particularly to his artistic scrimshaw work. In 1957, Dr. Candles became the first full-time pediatrician in the Farmington Valley. In 1999, he was honored by being named Avon's citizen of the year. Like many of his classmates, BARNEY LAPP '47 has tapered off from a busy career to acting as a magistrate on a limited basis. He has rwo of his three sons still living in Connecticut, and he is the proud grandfather of rwo grandsons. He still plays a bit of tennis, even though his knees don't cooperate. While most of our classmates have retired or slowed down, DICK SCEERY '47 is paying the price for being president of his own company. Reports have it that he manages to sneak in a bit of work berween his golf games. He and Annamay have five children and 13 grandchildren. PAUL KINCADE '46 writes, "As a forensic hypnotist and reserve sheriff's detective, I recently helped solve a threeyear-old double homicide. I have testified at the preliminary hearing, will do so again on Aug. 21 at a suppression hearing, and then at rwo trials of the suspects next month. "On Aug. 24, I leave for England/Scotland and will attend the final reunion of the British Pacific Fleet, to which I was

assigned as a U.S. Navy signalman during the Okinawa invasion."

LEONARD GREENBERG continues to make the news. A feature article in The Hartford Courant, reporting on the naming ofTrinity's Leonard E. Greenberg Center for the Study of Religion in Public Life, highlighted the center's importance in the public forum. Several months before candidates Bush or Gore designated their vice-presidential running mates, the principal speaker at the ceremony, the Rev. Robert Edgar, general secretary of the National Council of Churches, made a point that the NCC's 35 member churches believe in the separation of church and state, but that "there should be no separation berween people of faith and institutions of government." Last July, ART WALMSLEY and YOUR SECRETARY were among those voting with the majority of the Episcopal Church's General Convention to embrace a call to common mission with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. JOE SCHACHTER writes that, having retired, he wonders if he should go back to work since it seems he had more time for himself during his 30-year advertising career and his second 21-year career building marinas. Joe's work in advertising started in Hartford and ended in New York City, where he was a VP at J. Walter Thompson, holding senior management posmons at Eastman-Kodak, Bausch & Lomb Ray Bans, American Red Cross, and other accounts. In 1977, he formed the Concrete Flotation Systems to introduce docks of floating concrete to New England and the midAtlanric states.

NOTES

Joe came to Trinity in 1943 with the Navy V-12 program, was commisioned an ensign, served in the Pacific, and was in Tokyo Bay in 1945. Today, Joe lives in Westport, CT, looks forward to being with his three sons and their families, stays involved with the boards of the Waterfront Center in Washington, DC and the Maritime Aquariwn in Norwalk, and, in the summers, when the weather is right, he and his wife, Irma, cruise Long Island Sound on their boat - which just happens to be berthed ar the 400-slip concrete floating marina he built as his last project before retirement. Word comes from DON O 'HARE, by way of RAY BARNES, that our classmate, MARSHALL FRANKEL, has died (see In Memory). He was 73. After Trinity, Marshall earned a master's degree in public health. He served in a mobile Army surgical hospital during the Korean War and was a pharmaceutical sales representative before becoming a public health educator for the Connecticut Tuberculosis Commission. After joining the U.S. Public Health Service in 1962, he was director of emergency medical services for the state of Connecticut before becoming a public health consultant in its Boston regional office in 1974. Marshall is survived by his wife, Barbara, rwo daughters, and a granddaughter. We've also received word that ED FABER died April 10 (see In Memory). He was 74. After Trinity, Ed went on to Harvard Business School. He was an early employee of the Xerox Corp., became their first western regional manager, and, subsequently, director of their educational division. After leaving Xerox, Ed worked with several start-up companies, including Inmac Corp. In 1948, Ed was chosen to play in the Easr-West All-Star Game and was later drafted by the Denver Nuggets. During World War II, he served in the U.S. Navy, and was a gunnery officer in the Korean War. He retired early to pursue furniture making and painting. Ed is survived by his wife, Phyllis, rwo

sons, and a daughter. The Rt. Rev. Otis Charles 137 Castro St., #379 San Francisco, CA 94114-1229 e-mail: otis@sirius.com fax: 415-522-1198 Class Agent: Donald]. O'Hare

The45th Reunion was a fun and enjoyable time for 37 classmates who returned to Trinity to celebrate together with spouses and friends. Our Reunion committee, headed by DICK ZAMPIELLO and BILL LAPORTE, plus JOHN D 'LUHY, BOB MILLER, and DON MOUNTFORD, did an excellent coordinating job with the College. The group included BOB SHAY, who was elected by C lass attendees to represent our Class for the next five years and will generate (with others) our 50th Reunion program. All of us thank Bob for taking on that forthcoming and awesome responsibility. Of particular note: on Saturday, classmate LYMAN FARNHAM was recognized and honored by the College for his significant accomplishments as an Episcopalian priest, serving an inner-city parish in Baltimore, MD. Ly's work helping displaced

CLASS

families, neighborhoods uprooted by urban renewal, and the poor and downuodden in general, has been so dramatic that two Baltimore mayors and two Maryland stare governors have specifically cited him for what he has accomplished. This concern for the less fortunate starred back in Ly's Trinity days when he became involved with a Hartford church in caring for local communities in need, with a particular focus on youth. Ly has a daughter, WENDY '83, plus three other children (one in Japan) who have produced eight grandchildren (and one on the way). During the summer months, Ly, now retired, serves a small church in the New York State Adirondack town of Blue Mountain Lake. Ly has clearly demonscrated what it is to be God's servant and disciple. The Saturday night Reunion dinner was a big affair with about 75 in attendance, including spouses and guests. What a celebration and a fun event. KEN WILDRICK handled the responsibility of the pre-dinner blessing and EARL ISENSEE and KIT MORGAN were noted for the long distance they traveled to make the event. This was the first Class gathering for Earl since graduation. He continues to practice law and lives in Edina, MN . Kit is a retired Ph.D. (ancient history professor) , now living in Kerrville, TX. At the dinner, the group solemnly paused to recognize and honor those of our Class who have passed on since our last reunion. With great thanks, we welcomed back several of our Class who have battled illnesses and operations and, thanks to modern medicine, are still with us to enjoy the camaraderie of Reunion time. BOB FREEMAN, with his great smile and sense of humor, looked fir and ready for a three-set singles match. SCOTT PRICE had a minor heart procedure and is doing great. We hope the worst is over for DICK BITTNER and pray he achieves a full recovery. Those who appear to have changed the least (physically, that is) were headed by ED

YEOMANS, followed closely by BOB HODES. As always, the weekend was sparked by the great personality of LINC HANSEL, who always brightens every Class event. Also attending was BILL O'HARA, who continues to write on serious educational matters and enjoys keeping busy. Others attending the Reunion were: JOE REINEMAN, FRED STARR, BRUCE WHITMAN, LANCE VARS, DAVE DIMLING, BOB ROWE, TOM ALLOCCO, DICK FERRARO, SANDY ROSE, BOB BENNETT, JOHN GLEASON, BILL GARDINER, DAVID NELSON, GORDON MAJTLAND,HAROLD BURDON, plus, thank goodness, our official photographer, JOE KOZLIN. I had a great phone visit with GEORGE KRAMER, who now lives in Wayne, PA and is very busy as an artist, doing mostly sculpting, plus lots of poetry; there's a suong spirituality to his work. His son, TOM '90, is in the middle of high-tech land near San Francisco. Also talked by phone to FRANK CERVENY, who is retired, but busy with trustee responsibilities for a DuPont foundation, plus trying to keep up with six (seventh on the way) grandchildren. Musician son, Billy, has moved to Nashville and, hopefully, will soon become a headliner. John G leason wrote that he "resigned last fall after seven and one-half years as manager of New Horizons Vi llage in Unionvi lle, CT - a housing facility for 100 severely physically disabled adults - and recently took over as manager of St. Elizabeth House in Hartford, a residential facility for 75 men and women in various stages of transition from homelessness back to life in the general community. "My daughter, Rebekah, has graduated from George Washington University Law School (after I 0 years of reaching children with learning disabilities) and will begin a two-year fellowship at Georgetown University in August, dealing

with special education and the law. "My younger daughter, Rachel, lives in Columbia, CT with her husband, six daughters, two horses, a dog, and a car." I encourage you all to use my e-mail address (see below) and keep me posted.

Despite an accident with a golf cart last spring, which resulted in torn cartilage in a knee, he is back on his feet and on the links. He recently visited his grandson, who lives in Silver Spring, MD where his son-in-law teaches at the University of Maryland, and his daughter is a nurse. He also told me the sad news that KIRBY MALCOLM-SMITH died last year in California. We are sorry to hear it. JOHN RITTER called me here in Virginia (where we now live) to bring me up-to-dare. He has added a wing to his home in Kokomo, IN, a new bedroom, and bath. He has had some nonserious aches and pains, but carries on. He is still active in Faith Alive as a lay minister, and went to a conference in Columbus in August, and earlier, to a national conference in Hendersonville, NC. My wife and I vacationed in Little Compton, RI, and one night went to the new house of JIM TEWKSBURY. Actually, he and his wife, Joan, have been in almost a year and seem very well settled. We also took a long hike along beautiful woodsy trails, and they are both enthusiastic about the area.

Respecting customers, employees, community, and the environment F

or Thomas M. Chappell '66 , life and work are indivisible. More than three decades ago, Chappell left a successful corporate existence in Philadelphia and moved to Maine, responding to an inner call to live close to the land, practice respect for the environment, and embrace his strong sense of community. Once in Maine, Chappell combined his interest in protecting the natural world with a desire to create products that respected the environment. He created Tom's of Maine'", which has become the nation's leader in natural personal-care products. When Chappell and his wife , Kate, first moved to Kennebunk, ME, in 1970, they used natural , unprocessed foods and simple, unadulterated products, but were unable to find natural-care products and decided to create their own . They borrowed $5,000 from a friend and within a year created a laundry detergent free of phosphates. In 1975, they created the first widely marketed toothpaste free of artificial sweeteners, dyes, and additives. Since then , the company's products have expanded to include soap, deodorant, and a new cough, cold, and wellness line ranging from a natural nasal decongestant to liquid herbal extracts. "I have been running our company according to a mission of respecting customers, employees, community, and the environment, and we are creating more products and making more money than I ever dreamed, " Chappell writes in his book Managing Upside Down, a combination management guide and case study published last year. "Business is definitely about making money. But it is not only about making money, " he writes . Chappell 's company packages its products in ways that respect the environment, never conducts tests with animals , and donates 10 percent of its profits to charities. At the same time it generates revenues of nearly $40 million. Chappell and his innovative approach to management have been profiled in The New York Times Magazine and scores of other publications. At Trinity, Chappell 's approach to life - and business seemed to take hold. He majored in English but savored his classes in biology and religion . "Professor of Religion Theodore Mauch made us understand the quest was never really for a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow," Chappell says. "He instilled in us that life was really about working together toward something worthy." Chappell also formed a special connection with Professor of Biology Donald Galbraith, with whom he took an introductory biology class. "Understanding how life systems and organisms work was fascinating, " Chappell recalls . "If you could understand how organisms work, then you could understand how life works. I always felt there must be a parallel. " Says Galbraith, "I remember Tom as being a bright and delightful kid , someone you're attracted to by his personality and demeanor. A year or two after graduating, he called me to ask about phosphate-free detergent. He said he was thinking of starting a little company that would make the detergent. That was the first clue I had about what he was doing until years later, when I was in England and saw a tube of Tom 's of Maine'" toothpaste in a friend's house." Chappell 's strong sense of independence and desire to live life on his own terms were evident at Trinity. As a senior in search of a job, he had a telling interview with one of the country's major steel companies. " Do you have to give up your life to

the company?" Chappell asked his interviewer. "It was not a question to ask," an amused Chappell recalls. Temporarily placing independence in abeyance, Chappell did eventually join a prestigious company, Aetna, for whom he sold group life insurance in Philadelphia for two years. "I succeeded very quickly," he says. "It was clear that I'd have a bright future there , but it wasn 't the future I wanted. "

Seeking answers Chappell 's future was clearly in Maine, where , by 1985, his all-natural toothpaste and soaps had become popular in health food stores and were making inroads into mainstream drugstores. But Chappell felt troubled by having everything measured in financial terms. He sought answers to his business and personal dilemma through part-time studies at Harvard Divinity School , from which he received a master's degree in theology in 1991. "I could not have taken the company or my life in the direction I have had it not been for four years of systematic study in theology at Harvard, " Chappell says. "I am grateful I could learn that business is not a law or a science but a habit. Studying world religions helped me understand I could reconstruct the practice of serving customers in a way more holistically aligned with the universe and people's human aspirations. As a result, we succeeded far more than we would have if we were just practicing the same old maximization of shareholder gain. " Chappell hopes to set an example of ethical business standards for others. His first book, The Soul of a Business: Managing for Profit and the Common Good, set a practical yet powerful new agenda for ethical and profitable business leadership in the 1990s. His new book, Managing Upside Down: Seven Intentions for Values-Centered Leadership, outlines his philosophy of leading with one's values by integrating the organizational, financial , and social components of business. His work has been recognized by regional and national organizations. He received the 1990 New Englander Award sponsored by the Small Business Association of New England; the 1991 Entrepreneur of the Year award from CNBC; and the 1995 Socially Responsible New England Entrepreneur of the Year award from the Entrepreneur of the Year Institute. Tom 's of Maine速 has been named among the nation's top companies for working mothers by Working Mother magazine, and as one of "30 Great Companies for Dads " in Child magazine. In such a family-friendly enterprise, it's only natural that Chappell 's own family is closely involved. With the exception of his son Luke, who 's still in high school, his children , including Sarah '92 , Eliza '97, Chris '88, and Matt, are working in the family business. -Suzanne Zack

What a tremendous moment for our Class! It was the first award rhat we have ever received. Unable to contain myself, I stole rhe microphone from President Dobelle and exclaimed that wirh 66 percent participation for alumni giving,

our spectacular showing could only indicate rhat rhe lost and alienated generation had finally found its way and rerurned to the fo ld! There were many cheers from rhe multitudes assembled! We really did a fine job rhis time and the sweet success embodied in rhe Board of Fellows award was wonderful to savor. Twenty-eight of our hardy classmates made it back for rhe Reunion itself. Our group was quite low-key, but it was productive of many meaningful and heartfelt conversations. HUGO LUKE received rhe award for traveling rhe farthest - from Foster City, CA, a distance of 3,037.8 miles, but many orhers also came long distances. DIX and Roxy LEESON were rhrilled to be part of a rhree-generational encounter with Trinity, via rheir parents and daughter. So many wonderful renewals and memories combined wirh rhe sultry heat of rhe Connecticut River's tobacco valley. While many more of you actually considered rhe trek to Hartford, most impressive of

whom was PETER BRINCKERHOFF from rhe star-studded land of Malibu, but when push came to shove, you just were not able to take rhe time. Oh, well, we have such busy lives at rhis stage in our careers. Bur at least it is obvious rhat we have saved a place in our hearts for dear old Trinity as a result of our incredible participation rhis rime around for alumni giving. Plus, when we consider rhe amazing efforts of President Dobelle by establishing rhe Learning Corridor and really putting Trinity on rhe global map, we have even more reason to proudly rerurn to Trinity! The 28 attendees at rhe Reunion were: MIKE BASSFORD, John Bonee, BOB BROATCH, PETE CAMPBELL, ROD DE ARMENT, PIERRE DE SAINT PHALLE, STEVEN DOWINSKY, CHARLIE FENWICK, CARLO FORZANI, BOB HARRITY, JOHN CHAPIN, KEN JOHNSON, BOB KAYNOR, BILL LAWRENCE, Dix Leeson, THOMAS LOM, Hugo Luke, PAUL MARYESKI, Ernie Mattei, BILL NEWBURY, GENE NEWELL, PETER ORGAIN, JOHN PYE, BILL REDFIELD, DALE REED, JOHN ROBSON, ANDY SHAW, and CHARLEY TAYLOR.

The garden was dedicated on Friday, June 23, 2000 when more than 200 people garhered,

including Prescott Stewart '93 (Director of Alumni Relations) to celebrate Connie's life. The garden and rhe event were written up in The New York Timess metro section on Tuesday, July 4, 2000. The Secrer Garden includes a drawbridge stretched over a moat to enter a fairytale castle rhat gives way to a delightful puzzle of intricate parhs and hedge plantings.

Bringing passion to the big and small screens tephen R. Gyllenhaal 's eyes were opened and his future came into focus while watching the films of Frederico Fellini, Ingmar Bergman , and Francois Truffaut in Cinestudio at Trinity College. Masterful visual commentaries on life, the works of these legendary directors were spellbinding for Gyllenhaal , who had been raised in a strict religious community and had never seen a movie before enrolling at Trinity. Recalling his reaction to Fellini 's Oscar-winning film La Strada, Gyllenhaal says, "I couldn 't get out of my seat. I broke down and wept in the theater. After that, I was full-tilt into filmmaking. " Today, he is an award-winning television and feature film director, who has spent the past 28 years creating memorable moments for his audiences.

But far away from his sheltered Swedenborgian religious community in rural Pennsylvania, which followed the teachings of the philosopher and religious writer Emanuel Swedenborg, Gyllenhaal found it was a challenge to adapt to his new life. During his sophomore year, he met poet and Professor of English Hugh Ogden , who acknowledged and responded to some of the personal challenges Gyllenhaal was experiencing. "Hugh Ogden understood the chaos inside of me and delivered literature that addressed it, soothed it, explained it, and allowed me to start to understand it," Gyllenhaal reflects. "There were instruments out there to address the human condition that I was going through. I remember reading Shelley, Keats, and Coleridge. I also remember Hugh 's passion , wildness, and caring. " Ogden vividly remembers his former student and has followed his career. "The comments Stephen made about other students ' poems and the great classic poems he was reading were unique and filled with the passionate kind of questioning that is the mark of what he is today, " Ogden says . "His movies are filled with 'I want to find some answers to life and figure out what it all means.' That passion is in practically everything he does, and it was in everything he did while he was a kid at Trinity. " As much as Gyllenhaal reveled in the discoveries he made in poetry, the delight he derived from verse couldn 't compare to the joy he experienced upon taking Professor Lawrence Stires' film course his senior year. "I understood filmmaking in a second, " he says. "I didn 't even say, 'This is what I want to do.' I just started making movies, " he says. Enlisting members of the Trinity community - including Ogden 's young daughter, Cynthia as actors, Gyllenhaal began his filmmaking efforts by making a super-â&#x201A;Źight movie influenced by Fellini. Entitled Brother and Sister, it was about a boy who becomes a girl. After graduating, Gyllenhaal moved to New York, where he developed his skills by making industrial films. In 1974 , he edited and associate-produced his first feature film , a documentary about the Shoshone Indians entitled Broken Treaty at Battle Mountain. Four years later, he experienced a turning point in his career when he wrote, directed , and produced his first short film , Exit 10. The film , which was based on a short story by Katherine Mansfield, was acquired by PBS.

Following this success, he moved into television and directed special afternoon programs. He eventually moved to Los Angeles, where he found steady work directing primetime TV movies. In 1990, he earned an Emmy nomination for A Killing in a Small Town, in which Barbara Hershey plays a woman who murders her best friend with an ax. In 1991, he guided Dennis Hopper to critical notice in Paris Trout, in which Hopper, playing a racist, murders a young black girl. The movie was selected for the Directors ' Fortnight at the Cannes Rim Festival and earned Gyllenhaal a Directors Guild of America Award.

The big screen Gyllenhaal debuted on the big screen in 1984 with the teen film Certain Fury. A year later, he followed with the thriller The New Kids. In 1992, after concentrating on television productions for seven years, he returned to theatrical releases with Water/and, in which a teacher, played by Jeremy Irons, works through a life crisis in the classroom. In 1993, he collaborated with his screenwriter wife, Naomi Foner, on the study of a mentally disabled woman in A Dangerous Woman, starring Debra Winger, and in 1995 reunited with his wife for the child custody courtroom drama Losing Isaiah. In 1998, he steered a cast that included Billy Bob Thornton in Homegrown, a drama about marijuana farmers. Most recently, he directed a western for Showtime, entitled The Warden, starring James Caan , David Carradine , and Brian Dennehy. Last year, Gyllenhaal returned to Trinity and conducted a filmmaking workshop for students, in which he shared his expertise and passion for his work. It was a familiar experience for Gyllenhaal , who has passed his love for his art to his two children. Jake, 19, and Maggie, 22, both are working actors who have appeared in feature films. After being in the film business for almost three decades, Gyllenhaal is modest in assessing his career. "I've been very lucky in that I stumbled on some very good scripts, " he says. "The other thing I've had is passion, which was ignited at Trinity and Cinestudio. What I feel for Trinity is beyond fondness and beyond gratitude. I was given a life because of Cinestudio. "

This report comes to you on the heels of our 25th Class Reunion. Despite the steamy heat, it was a wonderful weekend with a good representation from our Class making the trip to Hartford to participate in the events and festivities. Class elections were held at the Reunion. Your new Class officers include ROBIN BODELL FISHER, president; PHILLIPPE DE LAPEROUSE, vice president; and ELIZABETH KELLOGG HAMILTON, treasurer. Perhaps because they

didn't attend the meeting, your new Class co-secretaries, JAMEY FRENCH and STEVE HIRSCH, were elected in absentia. Accordingly, the Class pen passes on from TONY PICCIRILLO. Many thanks to Tony for his efforrs. Please help us make this column interesting reading. Keep us posted on your news and news of our classmates. E-mail should make these communications easier. In addition, CASSANDRA HENDERSON CARNEY was presented with an alumni achievement award during Saturday's activities. Special thanks to STOW WALKER and SUSIE TILNEY-PEYTON for the Reunion co-chair efforts. They both made dozens of calls to classmates during the month before the Reunion to encourage attendance. T hese calls paid off with numerous last-minute reservations and resulted in the Class dinner being moved to Vernon Center. Sixty-five classmates registered for the Reunion, and several others made cameo appearances during the weekend. DOUGIE CLARK SUNDERLAND won the distance award (Cody, WY). Although Susie Ti lney-Peyton's trip from Berkeley, CA was more miles, Cody certainly seems farther away from Hartford. We toasted 25th wedding anniversaries - including LEA and DAVE SYLVESTRO '74 and BEN and SYLVIA BREWSTER. The human spirit award clearly goes to Ben and Sylvia, who arrived from Austin, TX, where Ben is the business manager for the St. Stephen's School. Ben is battling ALS. You are both an inspiration. Our hopes and prayers are with you. The weekend provided some of us with the opportunity to relive the experience of dormitory living. JEFF MOLITOR, TOM RICKS, Philippe de Laperouse, and Steve Hirsch shared a fourperson suite in the new Hansen Hall Dormitory. PETE TAUSSIG was in a nearby single. There was plenty of pre-bed chatter and laughter, and not much has changed in 25 years

except for our tolerance for single beds, linoleum floors, and common bathrooms. On the weekend program was our own Trinity trustee, EMILY BARRON SWENSON, who shared her Web business experiences, as well as her enthusiasm for the Trinity of 2000. BETSY KELLOGG HAMILTON's daughter (Sarah '03) helped make our stay in Hartford as part of the excellent crew of student reunion workers. Several of us brought along the next generacion, who seemed to enjoy the pizzas and sundaes as much or more than the social schedule or the dorm livi ng experience. "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree" ... many of us have children who are in or off to colLege this year. Class of '75 alums who have offspring at Trinity include: RUDY and ELIZABETH '76 MONTEGLAS - Caroline '01, J. MICHAEL GETZ - John '03, Betsy Kellogg Hamilton - Sarah '03, ANN TULCIN KATES Erica '03, VICKIE TILNEY MUNSELL - William '03, CYNTHIA CONWAY - Sarah '04, SARAH GREVE and JONATHAN '74 FRANKSarah '04, RICHARD and MARGARET '74 HUOPPI David '04, THOMAS MARTIN - Thomas '04, JEFREY MOLITOR - Caroline '04.

Classmates living in southern Connecticut may have had the first hint of this information, thanks to an article in the

New Haven Register. That

newspaper provided early notice that WILL GINSBERG was selected for the top post of execurive director at the Communi ty Foundation for Greater New Haven. The latter is the region's largest charity foundation, and the national Council on Foundations recently ranked the New Haven Community Foundation first in investment performance among similar foundacions nationwide. Since 1997, Will has served as managing director of the Federal Housing Finance Board and previously

was chief of staff for the late Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown. Will was associated with the City of New Haven earlier in his career when he served as city development administrator. Across the country, another newspaper provided a forum for another alum, WENDA HARRIS MILLARD. The

Denver Rocky Mountain News (reprinted from The New York Times) published a very personal article written by Wenda describing her entry into the publishing business and noting her 21 years in the magazine publishing business. As many of you know, Wenda is now executive vice president of DoubleClick, a company that tracks consumers' use of the Internet. I urge you to surf the 'Net for back editions of those newspapers and find her description of the move to an Internet-related company and her children's response to the electronic age. The alumni office notes that ROBERT MEYERS has been appo inted executive vice president of business development of the GAB Robins Group of Companies in Parsippany, NJ. Good luck to classmates who are involved in November 2000 polirical races. I hope you will send me the news of your suecesses to share with the C lass. And to everyone - start thinking about the 25th Reunion in 2001!

It's the end of summer as I'm writing this. In Boston, we've survived the annual September moving season and we're hoping that Indian Summer comes soon and stays long. The July and August rain interfered with my New Year's resolution to read Joyce's Ulysses while sunning in the backyard. BILL DOAK, his wife, Yolanda, and his daughter, Stephanie, who were celebrating the new millennium in Boston when we mer up, helped me acquire a copy of the book, as well as the other Boston staple, ice cream. Bill's new car looks like something our parents drove (big and American), but Bill says since his environmentally responsible compact didn't survive an unexpeered encounter, he's chosen security in this one. I've gone to the other extreme and have decided to risk brain injury by peddling my bike around town, sans helmet. Some other books that made my summer reading list were rwo by our classmates: MARY DESMOND PINKOWISH and

RICHARD PORTON. Mary's book, The Seven Wonders ofthe

World and I 00 Other Great Cultural Lists-Fully Explicated, (New York, Anchor Books, 1998), which she wrote with Peter D'Epiro, not only provided her with a terrific experience bur is also selling well. (I saw it listed in rhe Book of the Month C lub catalogue.) Nor yet retired and living on her royalties, Mary is still editor/writer at Patient Care, while her husband, Peter, is selfemployed as a freelance medical editor. They have two children, Daniel, 11, and Caroline, five. Every anarchist and every film aficionado needs Richard's book,

Film and the Anarchist Imagination (Verso, 1999), on

his/her reading list. Adapted from his Ph.D. thesis, it deals with the relationship among a wide array of films - American and European fiction films by Griffith, Wertmuller, Goddard as well as documentaries and the anarchist movement. Dr. Porton says he's been living across the Hudson from NYC in Hoboken, NJ for the past 16 years. He reports seeing BOB POLLAK. (So, Bob, write and tell us what you were doing in Hoboken.) Not in New Jersey, bur making his presence felt anyway is ERIC LUSKIN, who says he was recently promoted to vice president of syndication at American Public Television, a major source of programming for the U.S. public television stations. He also appears on Beantown TV during those exciting WGBH fundraisers giving us the opportunity to become members. He recently co-hosted some national "virtual pledge breaks," including one on Rock and Roll Graffiti and another on Men are from Mars and Woman are from Venus with John Gray. When not asking for money, he can be fou nd in Needham, MA with his wife, Terry, a high school math teacher ar Dover/Sherborn High School, and his daughter, Kate, who just entered the ninth grade. WENDY JOHNSTON BRACAGLIA wrote she was at the ANNE BROADUS HOLDING ranch when her family visited nearby San

Francisco a few years back. She said she met her husband, Tom "Brae" Bracaglia (Hamilton '77), when they were both law students at Villanova University. When not pursuing his real passion of golf, he's a partner at Kelley, McLaughlin & Foster. Since the birth of her children, Anne (10) and Tom (eight), Wendy has had the good fortune to practice law part-time. She reports recently seeing CHERYL CHAMPY, who now lives in Media, PA and looks great. (Yes, Cheryl, you are now being singled out to report in. The whole Class is waiting.) But we don't have to wait to learn that JEFF MELTZER and his wife, Laurie, will celebrate their 21st wedding anniversary in October 2000 in Glen Rock, NJ where they've lived for the past 16 years. He has a son, Matthew, 15, and a daughter, Abby, 12. He's president of his synagogue (and his wife kindly explained to me that they also have a seder on the second day of Passover that was preventing him from taking my telephone call at that moment). Jeff also has worked with the admissions office to coordinate alumni interviews. He's looking forward to hearing from his friends ar JMelt2456@aol.com. We can look forward to an update ar our 25th Reunion from JACK SANTOS on his campaign to hike all the 4,000 footers in the area - "48 by 48 is my battle cry!" (I hear the snickering by you West Coast people but, hey, this is New England! And I don't hear about any mountain climbing out your way.) In his spare rime, he's now with a dot.com srarr-up in Portsmouth, NH Bowstreet.com that does business-to-business e-commerce sofrware. He says being IT director there is not a far cry from managing WRTC. Speaking of managing "trin coll" organizations, I finally got to meet Bob, the partner of my Cinestudio co-manager, JOHNBOY SHANNON, during a New York trip. I think Bob's severe allergy to cats made John breathe a sigh of relief, as he will never be forced to visit me in

Boston. I told Bob I was going to report that he was unemployed, bur he wants me to say he's an investor, which makes him a perfeet match for John who heads up the St. George's Society, a philanthropy. The annual St. Geo. Soc. Fundraiser prevented John-Boy from attending the Cinestudio 30th anniversary parry in March with special guest, Faye Dunaway. Though PAT WEINTHAL '76 was concerned the event might turn into the battle of the divas, I left my tiara at home and kept a low profile. I did have dinner with my friend, Elisa DUENNEBIER, DAVID '74, her husband, and their two charming daughters, Nicole and Caitlin. Caitlin is attending the new arts high school in the Learning Corridor near Trinity. David is still responsible for the disruption of many households by ensuring that ESPN continues to broadcast. (He did tell a rather amazing story about WALTER THOMPSON '74 at the Library of Congress but some members from his Class should ferret it our for their own class notes.) As she was in charge of all the derails, I saw briefly the blur known as Christine McCarthy McMorris, who did get to sit down for a moment to enjoy the great food from Timothy's. FREDERIC VIGNERON '80, up from NYC where he works in the insurance industry, brought some bottles of wine for the parry. Now, I've made the fatal error of starting to mention people, and people are looking for their names. I'm stopping right here and suggesting that the Cinestudio crowd put some pictures on their Web page. Speaking of Web pages, I'm still waiting for a volunteer to come forward and make the Class of '77 Web page. Perhaps some (former?) Microsoft employee has time and server space? ANDY FRIEDMAN wrote me from Alexandria, VA to elaborate on the great work he's blessed with - chair of the tax practice group at Covington & Burling in Washington, DC. His

clients include the National Football League and the National Hockey League, and he says, "It's a great job for someone who never had the prospect of making a living playing sports, to at least be near those who do!" Another person reporting excitement in his professional life is MARK GERCHMAN. This past spring, he and Lisa, his wife, made a pilgrimage to the mecca of the entertainment industry, Hollywood, where the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences recognized Mark's work with optics by awarding him the Scientific and Engineering Award (known as the Academy Plaque). They had a "blast" at the Oscar â&#x201E;˘ Sci/Tech Ceremony. This was a great honor for him. The local paper had a big write-up on him, and the Wall Street journal had a big write-up on his company, Cooke Optics Limited. Mark may be the only Trinity alum who ever won an Academy Awardâ&#x201E;˘! Congratulations! (He didn't mention whether or not Lisa's dress was held on by tape or not.) At our 20th Reunion, he and his family had just moved back to the Stares from the UK. They're happy, and he must have the biggest commute of all our Class members - Keene, NH to the UK. As he's telecommuting three weeks a month, he says his wife hasn't gotten used to having him home all the time and she's happy to see him off to the office for a week. Lisa is a children's librarian ar the local elementary school and expects to see the children of her former students checking out books soon. His daughter, Elizabeth, is a junior at Mark's other alma mater, Mount Holyoke College, where they had a little getting used to "Dad" being the relative who attended the school previously (Mark's junior year 12-college exchange). His second daughter, Sarah, loves music and is a high school sophomore. The alumni office notes that QUENTIN "Beam" FURR ran for commissioner in his district in Hollywood, FL, according to an article in the March 12, 2000 edition of the Miami Herald.

Nor in school is Ethan, the son of BARBARA GROSSMAN CLEARFIELD '79. Barbara has taken on the responsibility of home schooling him. Is anyone else doing this? I've tried to home school my cars bur so far they've only mastered the litter box and the sound of the can opener. I guess that's pretty good from their perspective. Speaking of which, I hear their call for more can opener lessons so I better sign off. Mary Ann Nelson, Esq. 10 Gore St., Apt. 3 Roxbury, MA 02120-3444

Dan also hosted a tour of the Trinity carillon prior ro the concert. Six people attended the tour, including YOUR SECRETARY. We climbed to the very top of the chapel with our sneakers on, and got to see all the bells of different shapes and sizes! One lucky incoming freshman had the opportunity to play the carillon. Then, as a real treat, Dan rook me up a few more ladders to the chapel roof (not for the faint of heart), where the views of the campus and the City of Hartford were breathtaking! Haven't heard from many classmates lately. Please send in your news. Please note, I now have a Trinity e-mail account. I look forward ro hearing from you!

Fifteen years ago, at our first major reunion, I considered the older classes from a distance. Ir was hard to identify with the people whose hats announced their 20th Reunion. And those who had more than a quarter of a century of post-college life? Well, they inspired awe. Some had fought in wars we'd studied. How did we get to this place that is 20 years past graduation? I'm happy to report that despite the milestones, successes, and challenges of the last two decades, we appear to have weathered the rime pretty well. Some of us are a little thinner on top and thicker down below, but you can still see the glow of our youthful idealism. Ir was nice to see so many of us at our 20rh Reunion. Wherever life has led you, if

you weren't able to fi nd your way to Trin ity this spring, I hope you'll consider joining us at our 25 th. It'll be here before we know

it! Sometimes showing up at Reunion means you leave with more than you expected. As I recall, it was mid-gulp over a cup of coffee at our Class dinner that I found myself elected our new Class Secretary. Thank you, ANITA SPIGULIS, for managing this responsibility so well the last five years. We were well represented when it came to Reunion Alumni Awards. Two of our classmates were presented with Alumni Awards in recognition of their distinguished careers and their service to Trinity. DANIEL MEYER, owner of New York City's Union Square Cafe, Gramercy Tavern, Eleven Madison Park, and Tabla restaurants, received The Gary McQuaid Award for his efforts on behalf of the College and his entrepreneurial achievements. Established in memory of GARY W MCQUAID '64, the award is presented annually by the Trinity

NOTES

College National Alumni Association to the alumnus/a who has demonstrated leadership as an undergraduate and success in the business world. Dan's first restaurant, Union Square Cafe, which he opened just five years after graduating from Trinity, earned three stars in The New York Times and has been credited with triggering the reviralization of the city's Union Square. The opening of Gramercy Tavern in 1994 resulted in Meyer having two restaurants chosen for the Zagar Survey of the city's most popular restaurants. A group of alumnae enjoyed dinner at one of Dan's restaurants, Tabla, last spring. Former roommates KATIE JEBB NORTON, KATHLEEN FELL CONNOR, ,N INA MCNEELY DIEFENBACH, AMY DAVIS, PIXIE CONN HAYES, NINA CHIARA MCELROY, and MAGGIE BROWN CONDZAL got together for a mini-reunion. Lisabeth ("Pixie") writes, "The only roommate missing was CATHY LINDER who was missed." LINDA WELLS, founding editor and editor-in-chief of Allure magazine, received the Alumn i Ach ievement Award for her accomplishment in the publishing industry. The award is given each year by the Trinity College Alumni Association to an alumnus/a who has shown dis-

rinction in his or her field. With the launch of Allure, Linda made a significant conrriburion to transforming the traditional women's magazine, providing a forum fo r discussions about issues such as breast cancer and eating disorders. T he magazine has been named one of the 10 best magazines by Advertising Age and has received a National Magazine Award for Design. Before taking the helm at Allure, Linda worked at WJgue and The New York Times Magazine, where she served as food editor and beauty editor. In non-Reunion notes, ANN C. SAVOCA was promoted to divisional vice president of corporate research and science support at National Starch and Chemical Company in Bridgewater, NJ. Ann joined the company in 1997 as direcror of corporate research and has a Ph.D. in organic chemistry from the Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology. Ir's a typical day for YOUR CLASS SECRETARY. I'm nursing our kindergarrner, Sarah, through strep, getting Eric, our second-grader, to do his homework, and trying to fit in some marketing consulting. T hese days I work primarily for my former employer, CIGNA. I'm also busy on our board of education and its negotiations committee, now in the midst of contract negotiations with the teachers' and administrators' unions. My husband, Jim, is

an environmental engineer for Unilever and off traveling to one of the plan rs.

Curtiss Smith By the time you all receive these notes, it'll be time to start planning for our 20th(!) Reunion. Gosh, has it really been that long since we formed all these great friendships? It's wonderful to hear how many of you sti ll get together and to share in your tales. Rick and ANNE O 'CONNOR wrote that they had their third baby in November 1998 - she'll be two by the time you read this! Anne and Rick got together at LEIGH MOUNTFORD's wedding on Block Island in October 1998. Trinity news sure travels slowly. While Leigh was getting married,

it turns out that JOHN KAWECKI become a bachelor again, separating from his girlfriend, and is content to wander the forests with his sourhern cocker spaniel, Sage. John was recently listed in Whos Who in the world of art and video. CYNTHIA BLAKELEY, Ph.D. writes that she is living in Atlanta, raising her seven-year-old daughter, and doing some consulting and presenting academic papers. She recently traveled to southern California and met up with ROB MURDOCK and GAIL (ALWANG) MURDOCK and their three kids. Gail is a licensed clinical psychologist and the program coordinator of the USC Alzheimer's Research Center. The alumni office reports that PETER BAIN has joined Legg Mason, Inc. as executive vice president of its asset management group and head of its high network advisory management business. YOUR CLASS SECRETARY, who's term is about to expire (h int..), is keeping busy with clinical, research, teaching and administrative duties. We had a relaxing vacation on North Carolina's Outer Banks this summer. I spent last weekend at the Newport Jazz Festival up in Rhode Island, and in September we'll be spending a week in Istanbul. We're still waiting to make our trip to C hina to adopt our daughter but hope she's here by the time of this report. Have a great fall and see you all at the Reunion next year!

Greetings. PETER TYSON dropped me a line this past year to give us an update on his adventures. He is currently an online producer at NOVA, the PBS science series, which sends him around the world with a satellite phone, digital camera, and laptop to report back "live"

CLASS

through the Web on science and filmmaking taking place in the field. (For an example, see www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sharks/. ) He's written a book, The Eighth

Continent: Life, Death, and Discovery in the Lost World of Madagascar, which was published by William Morrow this past summer. Peter lives in Arlington, MA with his wife, Melissa Banta, who is a curator of rare prints and photographs at Harvard, and three kids. SCOTT CASSIE, who lives in the Westfield, NJ area, sent a newspaper article thar was recently wrinen about another classmate, DAVE MUELLER. After graduating from Trinity, Dave earned a masters of science in marriage and family therapy from the University ofTennessee. As director of family life at the Westfield YMCA, Dave has developed what is considered to be one of the most successful Y-sponsored family programs in the country. His primary focus is on creating support programs that focus on parenting, stress reduction, and youth development. A number of families that Dave has worked with over the past few years were quoted in the article about what a positive impact he has had in their lives. While he is helping parents build stronger relationships with their children and closer bonds within their community, he also works regularly with various community groups and schools. This past year he was awarded the YMCA's New Jersey area Arcs and Humanities Award for a motherdaughter reading program that introduces age 8-11-year-old girls to literature featuring strong female characters. Dave lives in the Westfield area and is also an active gardener and wood-worker. JANICE KUNIN CASTLE wrote with some info about her life and five classmates whom she still keeps in touch with. Janice is working as a retirement benefits manager at Louis Dreyfus Corporation in Wilton, CT. She and her husband, Brian, live in Monroe, CT with their daughter, Patricia, who is two years old. SHARON DAY lives in Potomac, MD with her husband,

Kevin Crutchfield, and their three children, Bryan (seven), Emma (five), and Andrew (three). Sharon is a doctor who works in emergency medicine at Fairfax Hospital in Fairfax, VA. JENNIFER PROST has her own public relations business out of her home. She and her husband, Michael Laser, live in Montclair, NJ with their two children, Helen (six) and Alex (two). LORI ARDILINO ALBINO lives in Cheshire, CT wich her husband, Tom, and their three children, Nicole (11), Lindsay (eight), and Matthew (nine months). Lori, an English teacher, will be return ing to Cheshire High School in the fall, afrer taking a year off following the birth of her son. MARYANN CONNORSKRIKORIAN is a middle school principal in Derry, NH . She and her husband, Steve, live in Londonderry, with their twoyear-old daughter, Bech. MAUREEN BURKE CALLAHAN lives in North Andover, MA with her husband, Kevin, and their son, Kevin, Jr., who is one. Maureen has taken a leave of absence from work to stay home with their son. Just a short note to say hi and congrats on Emma and her soon-to-beborn baby sister! Note - good luck! ROB AHRENSDORF wrote with words of congratulations on my daughter's birth and some parenting advice that "having two kids under three is not 'one plus one equals two,' bur rather some kind of exponential equation." Rob is in Tempe, AZ where he is working as vice president of sales and marketing for the Coleman Spas brand of hot cub. Since business has apparently been fairly good lately, Rob assumes that all of us could also use a hot tub now that we have some discretionary income and the need for stress relaxation, given our aging post-40-year-old bodies. With the promise of great service and "low-low special Class of '82 prices" he's asking all of us to contact him or visit his Web site for more info at www.colemanspas.com. (Sales that result from future Reporter commercial

endorsements will include a modest commission for the C lass Secretary.) Rob and his wife, Amy, just had their 10th year wedding anniversary. T hey have two boys, ages eight and six. He also speaks regularly to CHRIS and TRACY TOLERICO, who are doing well and living in New Jersey. JOE REINEMAN and his wife, Sarah, had another son this past spring. O liver Crowninshield joins his siblings, Azza (nine) and Trippe (seven). CHRISTINA HOLDRIDGE ROSEN and her husband, Steven, had twi ns last summer. Erin Melissa and Derek Isaac are now one. In the Sept. 8, 2000 edition of

The Boston Globe, Red Rose Crew by DANIEL BOYNE is reviewed. Dan is the director of recreational rowing at Harvard University. As I finish this column, ARMANDO PAOLINO is still training in preparation for his controversial Olympic bid in the Latin Samba category of ballroom dancing. While not an officially sanctioned sport (anywhere) Armando is hopefully awaiting the positive results of an arbitration ruling expected any day now. My wife and I are expecting another baby girl in about six weeks to join her sister, Emma Cathrine. My 40th birthday celebration will now be immediately followed by three sleepless months with a new bambina in the house. All the best.

In the midst of a very soggy, dreary summer on the East Coast, it was so nice to hear great news from so many of you. While NANCY KATZ ARESU is vacationing in Italy, I am here typing away ... actual ly I don't really deserve any sympathy since I just spent a wonderful and sunny week in Maine with my husband and three kids. For those of you who may be thinking about vacation ing in New Hampshire, KRISSY WHEELER-MCINVAILLE says you should feel free to drop her a line. Krissy, her husband, and two sons aged 13 and 12 live in Lancaster, NH (north of Mount Washington) where they have an organic vegetable farm, and raise fjord horses. Krissy - what are fjord horses? Krissy returned to the University of Wisconsin in Madison for her physician assistant degree and has been working in a rural health clinic for the past five years in that capacity. And if you happen to be vacationing in Bali or passing through Singapore, you may want to look up MARK HENDERSON. Mark has been living in Asia for eight years and Singapore for the past four. He just left IBM/Tivoli in March for his Internet-related scan-up.

CLASS

NOTES

Mark wrote that he built a dream house on Bali last year and escapes to it over long weekends. While there he enjoys yoga, diving, mountain biking, and surfing. Sounds incredible; best of luck on that start-up. Also on the international news front, DALE SINDELL and her husband, Charlie Tejera, who live in Madrid, had their third baby, a boy named James Louis, in July. James joins six-year-old Danny and four-year-old Isabel. I was lucky to see a very pregnant Dale last spring at Nancy Katz Aresu's gorgeous country home, along with KATIE VAN WAGENEN SPERRY, MICHELE ROSNER SAUNDERS, LORRAINE SAUNDERS WHITE, and LINDA KAPNEK BROWN. There is a lot more baby news from classmates in the States. SUZY SCHWARTZ SYMONS and her husband, Jon, are keeping very busy in Southborough MA, with their two children, Caleb Daniel, and Hannah Elizabeth, who was born last June. Suzy works in sales for Ocean Edge Resort & Golf Club on the Cape (there is that vacation connection again), booking corporate meetings and conferences, and even gets to work at home most of the time. LIZ LYNCH VALICENTI is expecting her third son this fall. He will be joining four-year-old Nicholas and two-year-old Daniel. Liz "keeps sane" at her job at Titleist golf, working in the interactive marketing areas of the consumer Web site, online adverrising, and promotions, as well as in catalog and print materials. Liz had a mini-reunion on Cape Cod last summer with her sister-inlaw, LISA SPERRY LYNCH, and SUSAN RICE KEENAN, and ANNIE MATHIASEN FARQUHAR. Lisa lives in Foxboro, MA with her four children, three boys and one girl, ages four through 11. Now there is a busy household! Susan also lives in Foxboro with her two children, Brittany and James. Annie, her husband, Witt, and daughter, Lynn, almost two, live in Maryland. More great news passed on by Liz - ANNE

LOUISE "WEEZIE" KERR MACKEY and her husband, Rob, just had their first boy, Conor, and are moving from Winnetka, IL, to Williamstown, MA. Also, Liz recently saw LANEY LYNCH MAKIN who now lives in Wenham, MA. We all hope you have recovered from your knee injury by now, Laney. More baby-related news: CARA BERMAN and MICHAEL JACOBSON '85 had a baby boy named Dylan last year and live in Seattle. SUSAN THOMAS and her husband, Dereck Schlett, live in Wisconsin and just had their first baby, a boy named Tyler Thomas. TIM NASH and his wife, Jody, are expecting their third child shortly. The new baby will be welcomed by their daughters, Hannah and Sophie. Tim lives in Hingham, MA, and works for Fidelity, marketing investment products to 401 (K) pension consultants. Tim attended TOM HAMPTON'S wedding this summer in North Carolina where he, JACK GIBBONS, and JOHN KLIMCZAK '85 tried to get a Trinity picture together, bur "were overwhelmed by a tough combination of rain and dancing southerners." Now that would have been a great picture! Congratulations, Tom! Congratulations also are in order for MARC SELVERSTONE, or as he is now officially known, Dr. Selverstone. Marc received his Ph.D. from Ohio University last June and is moving to Charlottesville, VA, where he will be an assistant professor and research fellow at the Miller Center for Public Affairs at UVA. He will be transcribing, editing, and commenting upon the Kennedy and Nixon White House tapes, teaching, and trying to turn his dissertation into a publishable manuscript. Well done, Marc, and let us know if you come up with any tips on taping for the politicians among us. We seem to have quite a few professors risen from among our ranks. JAMES KIRBY has been promoted to associate professor of chemistry at Quinnipiac University. STEPHEN COOK

was promoted last year to become associate professor of Old Testament at Virginia Theological Seminary and has a new, second book just out called On the Wily to Nineveh, published by the American Schools of Oriental Research. Stephen reports that JIM STREETO is doing well and working as a lawyer in Connecticut. Congratulations also to PENNY PERKINS for being named her area's best author by Metro/,and Newsweekly for her self-published, end-of-the-world satire, Bob Bridges: An Apocalyptic Fable. Currently, Penny is turning the story into a screenplay. She also won an award for best comedy/drama at the July 2000 New York International Independent Film and Video Festival for her script, Cinderolla, which is now being considered by Fox Searchlight Pictures. We'll be watching for your name on the big screen, Penny. SUSAN SHERRILL also has been doing some writing afrer selling her restaurant of 10 years. She is now the managing editor for Bergen County Newspapers, an independent publisher of seven local papers, and writes restaurant reviews. Susan will soon be re-married to Fred Canavan, "an engineer, pilot, and sailor who makes life an adventure!" They sail on the Hudson River as often as possible with Susan's six-year-old son, Peter. Susan reports that LAURA DARBY MCNALLY has just given birth to number three, a little girl named Megan. Congrats to Susan and Laura and their families. GILLIAN MAGEE FENTON has received a promotion to associate general counsel at Biogen, Inc., where she is an intellectual property lawyer. CYNTHIA BRYANT writes that she and her husband, MARTIN BIHL '85, moved from Connecticut to St. Louis three years ago, just in time to enjoy the Mark McGuire hysteria and the Rams Superbowl victory. Cynthia is busy taking care of their two children, Emily (nine) and Holden (four), in their new home.

She writes that "St. Louis is a nice, friendly city with many cultural opportunities." In fact, Cynthia and her daughter are involved in a community theater and just performed in Peter Pan. Did either of you get to fly? She also would love to hear from MARC ACKERMAN, STEVE SCHUTZ, and KEITH WAEHRER '85. So, guys, get those e-mails going. CHANDLEE JOHNSON KUHN writes that she is busy with her two daughters, Elizabeth (eight) and Susan (five). Her family came in third in their club's championship family relay, and her husband even caught it all on tape! LORIE MILLER GALLAGHER has recently relocated to Albuquerque and is now an account supervisor for an ad agency. Lorie says she loves "the Southwest and was glad to get back afrer a three-year stint in Illinois." Also loving her hometown, even though she must travel east to hook up with her Trinity friends, is BETH TUDOR, who lives in San Francisco. Beth sounds very busy in her position as director of furniture and lighting for the Pottery Barn catalogue. That position may come in handy since Beth has just purchased a weekend house in Sonoma wine country, "vines and all. I now fully understand the meaning of the term 'money pit."' Many of us can relate to that! And, Beth, your catalogue is terrific! Beth keeps in touch with DEBBIE VINNI CK TESLER, AMY WAUGH CURRY, MAREGO ATHANS, and MARK TIEDEMANN. Most of us are probably attending (or were at least invited to) our 20th high school reunions this year. As Lorie Gallagher wrote, "We really are getting old." Fortunately, with age comes all of the great stuff above. Keep those e-mails coming! Amy Snyder Fonnan, Esq. 81 Bates Rd. Swampscott, MA 01907-2646 e-mail: aafonn@aol.com Nancy Katz Aresu

Hello, all! What a great Reunion! My inaugural update is a bit thin. I was reminded I had to write it just before I left for vacation and cranked it out with a minimum of reporting. Be advised that I plan to put my journalistic skills to work and will pry, probe, and badger for tidbits in subsequent reports. First, let me pass on some news about some good clean fun. BOOG POWELL and ALAN NORTON hosted a pig roast this summer. Two swine were sacrificed in said fest, and Mr. Norton delighted guests with a cruise around the yard in his golf cart. My source would not divulge details but let's assume participants yelled "Yahoo!" repeatedly and came home reeking of beer. I am also informed that CAMILLE GUTHRIE is "down under," working on the Olympics in Sydney, and that DONNA GILBERT is happily teaching in lovely northern California. Aside from the pig roast, none of this information seems very scandalous but my source advised she could be "killed" for divulging the information. Pretty secretive crowd! How am I going to uncover some real gossip? REX DYER issued no "off the reco rd" or "on background" conditions, so I can blab without hesitation that he and Suzy enjoyed the August waterfront wedding of ANNETTEBOELHOUWER and Bob Ryan in Chatham on Cape Cod on what Rex described as an "incredibly glorious day." No doubt, the attendance of the Dyers as well as ANGELO LOPRESTI, ERICA THURMAN MERRILL and ANDREW MERRILL, KATIE GERBER DOONAN, JEANNE

DEVELIN, DAVE GRYBOSKI, CAROLINE COCO, ANDREW EMERY, KATHY O'CONNOR BOELHOUWER, SONIA FLANDERS MCARDLE, among others, made it all the more glorious. In the baby boomlet department, Angelo and Ellen Lopresti had their second daughter, Sophia, soon after Reunion, and ANNIE PROCTOR O 'KEEFFE was blessed with her third child, Catherine, last January. Also, KATHLEEN SOLEY FARRELL jotted a pre-dawn note to say she gave up lawyering for parenting with the advent of "number three." MICHAEL JACOBSON and CARA BERMAN '84 are the parents of Dylan, born last November. Congrats to all on the happy news. By the way, my last minute effort on gathering info drew this scold from my old buddy, Rex: "Your piece is due Sept. 6, and I get your e-mail at 9:45 p.m. on Sept. 5! You're off to a great start!" Fair enough, Rex. I need to be nice to you so long as you retain memories of me in Jarvis freshman year! Last spring, the Sonia Plumb Dance Company celebrated its 10th anniversary with a program entitled, "Poised to Fly." It included rwo new works and some selections from the past decade. It is great to see that the entrepreneurial spirit is alive and

well outside the dot.com world thanks in part to the liberal arts tradition. Way to go, Sonia! I received a photocopy of a snapshot of MARIA ROSENFELD, SELDEN WELLS TEARSE, ASHLEY DROUET SILVERMAN, and SUSAN BLOOMQUIST KROPP at what Selden described as a "mini 15th" in NYC. Time appears to be sitting lightly on all four. My brother scribe, PETER EISLER, put together an excellent investigative piece in USA Today on the federal government's culpability in the shattered health of workers and poisoned communities that are part of the legacy of the U.S. nuclear weapons program. Now for some personal babbling. My wife, Alison Feighan, and our son, Lincoln, enjoyed rwo weeks on the Jersey shore at the end of August - far away from Capitol Hill and policies. Rather than C-SPAN, I stayed up late one night watching the behind-the-scenes story of "Bewitched." Did you know Paul Lynde's first appearance on the show was that of a driving instructor? His memorable "Uncle Arthur" character was created later! Lincoln loved the ocean and thereby earned the right to stay in the family. The alumni office has learned that JEFF PILGRIM was honored last fal l as the National

He has stepped down as the president of the New England Prep School Women's Soccer Association after five years and has assumed the presidency of the Women's Western New England Prep School Soccer Association of which he is also the league statistician. Finally, I must conclude on a very sad note. ELIZABETH ARNOLD PAPPAS passed away unexpectedly in July, leaving behind her husband, CHRIS '84, and rwo daughters. Per her wishes, you are invited to send a donation to the Independent Day School in her memory, P.O. Box 451, Middlefield, CT 06455.

An entrepreneur finds the right word in record time E

lizabeth L. Elting-Burlant '87 might be described as the Mario Andretti of her profession. Like the legendary race car driver, Elting-Burlant has used precision and speed to reach the top of her field. But, unlike Andretti, Elting-Burlant negotiates the twists and turns of language rather than the curves of a racetrack. "Speed is definitely one of the competitive advantages we can offer," says Elting-Burlant, president and CEO of TransPerfect Translations, Inc., one of the largest and most successful foreignlanguage service companies in the world. "Because of our size, we are able to translate 500 pages in two days if a client needs it. Law firms, for example, often require the translation of documents for court, and other translation companies don't have the time or staff to do it." Elting-Burlant and the company's cofounder, Phil Shawe, launched TransPerfect seven years ago in a New York University dorm room with a rented computer and a $5,000 credit card advance. Within six months, TransPerfect had moved to a small office on Park Avenue in New York City. The company has doubled the number of employees and revenues every year since. It now occupies several floors of a midtown high-rise and has a full-time staff of 120 people and 3,500 independently contracted linguists who work in about 100 languages. The company has offices in 16 cities on three continents. Providing language services to more than three-quarters of U.S. Fortune 500 companies, TransPerfect reported revenues exceeding $18 million last year. The company's success has not gone without notice. TransPerfect has been featured in articles in Entrepreneur magazine, Inc. magazine, and the Journal of Commerce. Last year, Working Woman magazine honored Elting-Burlant by awarding her its 1999 Entrepreneurial Excellence Award for Customer Service.

Love of language Elting-Burlant's interest in language started at age eight when her family moved to Portugal. There she studied Portuguese and French at school and fell in love with languages. Within a year, her family relocated from Portugal to Toronto, where she deepened her study of languages by attending a French school and exploring Spanish and Latin. At Trinity, she majored in Spanish and French. She fondly remembers many of her professors, including professors of modern languages Sonia M. Lee, Arnold L. Kerson (since retired), and Dori Katz, with whom she, presciently, took a translation course. One professor proved particularly memorable. "I took a number of courses with John J. McCook Professor of Modern Languages, Kenneth Lloyd-Jones, and spoke to him a lot about my junior year abroad. My plan was to major in both French and Spanish and to spend one semester in Spain and the other in France. After talking to him and getting his recommendation that I focus on one language, I spent my entire year in Spain. I was impressed by his reasoning and by his concern for me as a student. He definitely made a great impression on me, because I switched gears and instead of exploring both French and Spanish I started focusing more on Spanish and even started a Spanish Club at Trinity."

A hard-working and gifted student Says Lloyd-Jones of his former student, "My chief memory of Liz Elting, beyond the fact that she was a hard-working, independent-minded, and gifted student, is that she was very eager to learn and enjoyed being challenged. When she came to explore the question of foreign study with me, I encouraged her to pursue it, knowing that she had the combination of intellectual curiosity and personal dynamism that would enable her to get the best out of it, in both linguistic and experiential terms. She seemed to see every challenge as an opportunity." After graduating from Trinity, Elting-Burlant used her interest in and aptitude for Spanish in Caracas, Venezuela, where she served a four-month internship in the financial division of the Mendoza Group, one of Latin America's largest companies. The internship, organized though the International Association of Economics and Business Students (which links students with jobs in industry), introduced her to a business environment that she thoroughly enjoyed. In 1987, she returned to the United States and was hired as a project coordinator in the New York translation company Your America, then owned by the advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather and later purchased by the translation giant Berlitz. At Your America, she observed that the inability to meet deadlines was creating lost business opportunities. Eager to develop her business skills and advance her own career, in 1990 she enrolled at New York University's Graduate School of Business, where she met her future partner, Phil Shawe. Together, the pair stretched their entrepreneurial wings and formed TransPerfect in 1992. Still moving with uncommon speed and precision, EltingBurlant is busy plotting TransPerfect's future. Last November, she and Shawe launched a new company, translations.com, inc., to satisfy clients' growing demand for software and Web localization services. "After covering almost all the major cities in the United States," Elting-Burlant says, "we also plan to continue opening foreign offices in every major gateway city in the world. We plan on being a very international company." -Suzanne Zack

In the pasr four years, Jim and I have experienced a coral of seven changes of address, four job changes, rwo weddings, rwo children, and a per or rwo. Speaking of the addition of a child, my husband, Patrick, and I would like to announce the arrival in Seprember 1999 of our daughter, Nora. Nora is now toddling around the house afrer her brother, making mischief and doing whatever she can to endanger life and limb (her own). And speaking of job changes, Jim has just taken a position as assistant dean of srudents at Harvard. The new job includes being on call every third weekend to several thousand freshmen, a dury that I can imagine keeps him on his roes.

We have learned, again from Peg, that TOM and PHOEBE MCBRIDE MADDEN '87 have recently moved from Chappaqua, NY to just outside of Providence, RI, where Tom will be practicing law. Perhaps rhey were overwhelmed by rhe prospecr of having the Clintons as neighbors! MARCELINE LEE SMITH also has moving plans: She wrires thar she and husband, Phillip, "have sold our house and are moving slightly easr ro Davis, where life is less insane, more family-friendly, and definirely more affordable.

Hi, everyone! Well it's rhat time again to catch up on rhe news from all our classmates, and rhere seems to be a theme for this issue. It's kids! And there are a lot of rhem. Before I get into rhe details on rhe future class of Ban tarns, rhough, I have two important issues. The first is rhat I have a new job and a new e-mail address, which is wcataldo@ehealrhdirect.com (yes, I have been crazy enough to join rhe dot-com world working for a startup healthcare technology company) . So please update your e-mail address books and keep sending your news. For rhose of you whom I haven't heard from yet, now rhere are no more excuses about how to reach me. And speaking of news, rhat brings me to rhe next issue. I just wanted to clarify that there is a four-monrh, or actually I rhink it was a six-monrh gap last time, between rhe time I actually write rhe notes and when rhe Reporter is sent to your homes. Some of you have commented on why I am writing about rhe beautiful summer wearher when it is winter, or some friends have been tempted to cross me off rheir Christmas card lists when rhey don't see any news about rheir new babies. So please keep rhe news coming, and I promise to get it in rhe notes as soon as possible for whenever rhey are

published. As a reminder, for rhose of you who are hungry to read rhe C lass Notes, you can always check rhe Trinity Web site. Now here is what's new. The weekend I am writing rhis, Joe and I just had dinner wirh GINA and MIKE DOYLE '87 and MARY AMBROGIO. It was rhe last night out wirh fellow classmates for Gina and Mike before rheir son, John Richard, was born. Jack, as rhey are calling him, was born on Sept. 6 at 9:58 a.m., weighed six pounds, nine ounces, and was 19 inches long. The last report was rhat everyone is doing well. Apparently on a recent visit to Boston, Gina and JEN GOFFMAN GREENAWALT spent rhe visit taking pictures and trying to compare stomach sizes. Jen is expecting a baby girl in October.

Nancy is doing great and even made it to our annual get-togerher two monrhs later. Nancy has also taken a new job at State Street Research as rhe director of eCommerce. JESSICA BROWNSTEIN PRESTEGMRD wrote me a nice update about her twins who were born last Oct. 10. Named Elizaberh and Henry, they arrived five weeks early, on Jessica's birrhday (rhat will be some party every year). Elizaberh weighed in at four pounds, 11 ounces, and Henry was four pounds, 13 ounces. As Jessica said, "No. Twins do not run in my fami ly. It was a lucky fluke! We couldn't be happier, but Daddy Tom will have some major expenses every October. As I write rhis, rhe babes are happy six-monrh-olds, who will soon be mobile and all hell will break lose at my house. We are looking forward to hanging out wirh all our Trinity baby friends who have arrived and have not yet arrived."

And speaking of orher Triniry babies, LISA ALVAREZCALDERON COX and her husband, Kevin, welcomed a baby boy, Oliver, in July.

Following a Trinity Club of Boston event honoring JANE SWIFT '87, Joe and I had dinner with Gina and Mike Doyle and GINNY and MATT KEATOR. It was a great chance to catch up, and Gina was quick to take down notes on rhe back of her dry cleaning slips, as we discussed what our various classmates were up to. As Gina writes, "I rhought I'd e-mail you rhe news I wrote down last night while it was fresh in my mind (and so I could use my slip to get my drycleaning). Matt Keator says rhat ROB REISKIN is living in London wirh his family. He has one son, Thomas, and is working for a bank. Matt isn't sure what kind of job Rob has but when asked what exactly he does there, Rob replies 'exceed expectations.' Matt also reports that BILL BRONSON is living in Simsbury and is reportedly a commercial real estate magnate in Hartford. Alrhough single, he can be seen driving around town in a Volvo station wagon.

LESLIE CHVATAL WARD sent in an update after returning from a summer vacation with her family in Mt. Washington. Leslie and her husband, DAN '87, had a baby girl, Meghan Elizabeth Ward, born on Jan. 22, 2000. Meghan joins her sister, Brooke.

LEXI SPANOS JACKSON and her husband, Mark, are expecting their second girl at the end of September. Lexi and Mark also have a daughter, Waverly. Lexi and her family had just moved to the suburbs of Boston where she has taken a job as the director of Milton Academy's Child Care Center in Milton. And a few words from our president, DEAN ANDREWS, "Everyone should know that the second annual Links for Lavs Tournament for the Jonathan Levin Prize in Education Fund was a great success again! We were able to raise money for the Jonathan Levin Prize in Education Fund (the prize is given annually co a Trinity student who will be teaching disadvantaged children j use like Jake did) and, more importantly, get together for the weekend to remember Jake and his friendship with all of us. This year we held the tournament at Tunxis Golf Course in Farmington, CT and then attended a cookout at JOHN BURKE's House in Manchester, CT. Of course, John, his wife, Pete, and his daughter, Alex, were wonderful hosts again. Additionally, this year we were able co attract a few more star golf celebrities than in the prior year. I know what you are thinking, bur no, Tiger Woods and JAY WILLIAMSON '89, two stellar PGA stars, were unable to make the tournament because they were tied up with the U.S. Open or another golf cournament. However, potential future scars of the Senior PGA Tour, including MARK PALLADINO, MARK GALLEY, JIM SIEBERT, and BERNIE LEE helped co fill the

void. Unfortunately, none of these players was able to overcome the phenomenal foursome of Mike Doyle '87, MIKE "Belush" ANDERSON, BILL KENNEY, and DONNIE FRONZAGLIA, who won the title this year. I don't have the time nor the space to mention all of the attendees at the event, as the list is very long. However, I know that everyone had fun, and they are all looking forward to next year's event, which is tentatively scheduled for the last Saturday in June on June 30, 2001. Thanks to everyone who attended this year and also to all of the people who could not show up, but made a donation co the fund this year. We hope to see you next year. Thanks. Deano. " In the wedding news, congratulations go ro JOHN MORRISSEY. John was married on July 2, 1999 to Mary Cauley at the Holy Trinity Church in Westfield, MA. In the career news, GREG LAWRENCE, a former Sutherland Asbill & Brennan attorney, has joined as a partner in the DC office of the Chicagobased McDermott, Will & Emery. Greg will work in the firm's trial and regulation groups, continuing his focus on issues involving deregulation. In June, CLAIRE JANOWSKI was spotted in the paper, announcing a run for the Connecticut State Legislature representing the 56th House District. Claire has been working as a legislative assistant in Hartford and has served on the Vernon Town Council for the past seven years. This is her first run for the state legislature. Best of luck, Claire! And now, of course, a few, always entertaining, updates from BOB LOEBER: 'Tm going to give the Class of '88 one more edition to provide some lively stories, or I'm going to start making stuff up. Either you come clean with the skeletons in your closet, or I start fabricating stories and tales. It's as simple as that. Now I'm sure we all want everyone to believe that we wake up, go off to work at a dream

job, come home to a beautiful spouse in a palatial estate, play with kids, then go to sleep in a plaid set of Eddie Bauer flannel sheers. You know what, it's probably true, but it just doesn't provide the entertainment chat we're looking for. If we're looking for that type of content, we can subscribe co Martha Stewart Living magazine. OK, now that I've got that off my chest, here's what I have for you. Let's start with MARK GALLEY, the former director/ producer/ star of the 1988 cinematic masterpiece, Watching the Detectives. Mark walked down the aisle this past fall, breaking the hearts of women throughout the Fairfield County region. Since Mark is quite the Renaissance man, his bachelor party cook place in Montreal. le was decided that it would be nice for the boys to take their cultural wagon train north of the border. Bill Kenney and Mike Anderson are pregnant again. Well, their wives are, but they cell me they had a lot to do with it. Boch are expecting their third little one. Bill is currently working as a regional sales manager for an IT systems infrastruccure company by the name of Triactive. Word on the street is that Mike Doyle and his wife, Gina Gewant Doyle are the proud parents of young Jack Doyle. The little guy is well behaved and enjoys napping to the sound of Don McLean's American Pie. TOM KOKONOWSKI has made the big move and has started his own law firm. If you're ever in trouble in western Massachusetts - or just need a shoulder to lean on please feel free to give Tom a call. TOMMY BRODERICK will have a child by the time chis is published. A parade through the streets of Lowell is planned to celebrate another generation of Brodericks. Tommy also has his own law firm. Nor only that, bur he has hired DAVE MURRAY to work for him. Besides the fact that Dave insists on wearing goalie pads to the office, the arrangement is working great. Since the stories aren't plentiful, I guess I'll fill you in on what I've been up co. I'm engaged. Thar's

NOTES

not a misprint. I am engaged. After years of waiting for the right girl, I finally found her. I'll be walking down the aisle in September of2001 with rhe lovely Kerry McNamara. We currently live together in Chelmsford, MA - the town she grew up in. She's an account manager for a start-up company by the name of Evare that specializes in sofrware for the financial investment industry. Not only that, but she likes co drink beer, watch wrestling, and eat Kraft macaroni and cheese. In all honesty, she's one of a kind, and I'm lucky to have her. On the professional front, I'm now working with BRYANT MCBRIDE at Myteam.com, a youth and amateur sports Web site. My title is manager of user-generated and organizational content. What that means is not only do I write for the Web site, but I also build relationships with organizations such as Little League Baseball, AAU, and Pop Warner; they in turn provide us with content. I recently went to Williamsport, PA for the Little League World Series, where, in between free hot dogs and pizza, I wrote a daily news and notes column for the event, as well as summaries for each game. It was a great event with the exception of having to share a hotel room with Sledge. The roughest part of my job is calling our former Class President by his real name in the office. I've known him for 17 years and didn'c know Bryant was his real name until two weeks ago. Ar least once a day I get an unconcrollable urge to stand on a chair and simply yell our the word SLEDGE! As long as he continues to sign off on my expenses, I will refrain from the doing this. I've lee it slip a few times bur the people at our company do not know how big the story really is. Thar's ir for now. Loebs." Thanks again co all of you for your updates and please keep sending in the news!

Hello, '89ers! As I sit and write this, I am a mere six days away from starting classes at University of Connecticut School of Law. I'm very excited for the new challenge, but am also sad that I have to give up some fun activities, since between work and school I won't have much free time. (But, of course, I would never give up being '89 Class Secretary.) I spent some of my soon-robe-nonexistent free time this spring and summer visiting with fellow '89ers. The most off-thebeaten-track for me was during a business trip to Seattle when I got together with ALLISON BROWN and BECKY HOLT. They gave me a driving tour of the area and we had dinner in a restaurant with a wondrous, picturesque view of mountains and water - the kind of scenery we don't get in Connecticut. Allison has the prettiest house and is working on her master's degree. Becky sent me an update this week: 'Tm loving my job as a

Spanish medical interpreter and am also getting a chance to do some written translations at the clinic for low-income patients where I work. Last year I was invited to join the boards of two nonprofits, one focused on education for girls in Brazil and the other on promoting Brazilian cultural events in Seattle. Unfortunately it hasn't taken me back to Brazil, but our BrasilFest in Seattle was voted best festival in the world for August 20th by Festivals.com. Kind of a cool claim to fame. I saw LAURA THOMAS STANDARD and her husband, Sam, and son, Elias, this summer. Laura is a great mom and has a fantastic tot, who was born in late 1999." MIKE VANDERBILT got married on April Fools' Day to Molly Lyman in DC. BTW, my favorite part of the ceremony was the passage read from The Little Prince - how touching! In attendance were: SANDY BURKE, RICK EWING, SUE KLUIBER, LIAM O'SULLIVAN '88, BOB MARKEE, WOODY BROOKS, ANDRES ESTRADA, TERRELL SMITH '90, IAN MURPHY '90, SETH LIPTON, BEE HUGHES,

Jay Williamson '89 continues to make his mark on the Professional Golf Association (PGA) Tour. Williamson , who starred in baseball and ice hockey at Trinity but played just one semester for the golf team , currently ranks number 100 on the PGA Tour money list, with $422,930 earned this year as of press time. By finishing among the top 125 money winners , he has qualified as a fu lly exempt player. As a result, he is no longer required to compete in qualifying tournaments and can pick his own playing schedule. Williamson's 2000 season included a seventhplace finish at the Bay Hill Invitational and a round of 64 at the Kemper Insurance Open. Originally from St. Louis, MO, Williamson plays out of the Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis. He has been playing professionally since 1990. Williamson , his wife Marnie, and his daughter Whitney live in Orlando , FL.

JOHN WEBSTER '90, DOUG MACDONALD, DAVE RAVERA, ROGER WELLINGTON, JIM WALSH '90, and various children, spouses, and significant others. Some of us also met up with LAURA CAWTHORNE, who lives in the area, at a brunch beforehand. My travels also took my two miniature dachshunds and me to Boston for a fun-filled weekend with Roger Wellington, and to NYC for museum browsing with Bob Markee, SEAN DOUGHTERY, and his wife, Juliana. (All are doing well, as usual.) Later in the spring, Sandy Burke, LIZ LOOS, and I volunteered at the Boston Avon Breast Cancer Three-Day Walk. Our crew team was officially called "Pack-up," which translated to trash collection - quite the experience! Sandy, Liz, and MARISSA BOYERS also came to visit me at my family's place in rural Pennsylvania for a weekend specifically not involving other people's garbage. BTW, Sandy is engaged to Rick Ewing, and they're getting married in October! Snippets: Dave Ravera and his wife moved from Boston to NYC. ... TRICIA "FIF'' TAFFURI FALTINSKY writes that she and her husband, RAY '87, had a second daughter, Layne Patricia, on Nov. 11, 1999. "Big sister, Jessica (two in June), is delighted with her and smothers her with hugs and kisses every day." ...JOHN PENDLETON is practicing law in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Someone sent us an impressive list of his accomplishments (check it out at www.nh-pendleton.com), which includes being an alumnus of the Un iversity of Richmond, T.C. Williams School of Law, 1993, teaching business law, and being a member of several law associations, (You go, John!) . . . DOUG MACDONALD had a scientific article published in Molecular Pharmacology, on March 15, 2000. (Go to www.molpharm.org and search by his last name. I was amazed at how I understood so little of it.) He's also just accepted a job at Aventis

Pharmaceuticals in Bridgewater, NJ as a senior research scientist working on a number of projects mostly centered on neuroinflammation. . .. ANDY WARREN is working on his third IBO (initial baby offering). He and his wife are expecting this coming November. . .. MICHELLE MORRISSEY KIM is still living and working in NYC. Her son, James, turns two in November, and her second baby is due in December. An anonymous report states that SHANNON O 'CONNOR "obtained a Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Rochester in New York - she took a fellowship at the University of Wisconsin and then moved to Denver where she was employed by the National Jewish Hospital - Shannon is currently working in the University of Excellence at Sprint in the field of employee development." STACEY DRESDALE LEVINE gave birth to Harrison Samuel Levine on Nov. 7, 1998. "He is just about 17 months old now, a very bright, very verbal, affectionate little darling! David and I also just celebrated our eighth anniversary. I am still living in Brooklyn and am a full-time mommy. It truly is harder than going to work, but I wouldn't trade it for anything! I ran into JASON MANSKE several months ago. He lives in the neighborhood, as does MIKE STRASSMAN, to whom I speak occasionally." KAREN HOBBIE BELSON is currently living in Atlanta and working as a pediatric hospitalist at Egleston Children's Hospital for her fourth year. She is married to Marty Belson, also a pediatrician. They just welcomed their first child, Brooke, in November of 1999. MELISSA HOBBIE HOY, her sister, is living in Richmond, VA and working as an assistant district attorney. She is married to Scott Hoy and they are about to celebrate their third anniversary. JAY FLEMMA moved ro Manhattan in May. He is a music, broadcasting, and film attorney, and the New York Bar Association wi ll be publishing his

CLASS

first book, in collaboration with about l 0 other lawyers, on litigating music law. Also, he's hoping to teach music law in NYC, as he enjoyed the experience in Syracuse. He wrires, "I just spent five days with CHUCK CORDOVA in Myrtle Beach playing golf. He's great. He married a medical malpractice lawyer and lives in Forest Hills. TYLER THORS and I stood up in Chuck's wedding and saw PRISCILLA PAULIN THORS '90 (yes, she married Tyler) and CHRIS JOHNSON among others." Another Triniry socialite is MATT MAGINNISS. He writes, 'Tm living in the northern Virginia technology corridor. I'm a manager for PricewaterhouseCoopers consulting. I have a wonderful wife and two children, ages six and four. I recently spent time with JOHN MAGGIONI '87 and his wife, SUE KINZ MAGGIONI. They are living in sryle in Massachusetts. John is wo rking with Alex Brown and Sue is a lawyer in Boston. Sue is also expecting a baby later this year. I also spent time with JEFF MUNESES '87 and his wife and son. Jeff is a successful chiropractor in the Baltimore area. Jeff's family is also expecting another baby." ALLYN MAGRINO and her husband, Per Holmberg, are expecting their first child in October, and are planing to bring him/her to Sweden for Christmas. She writes, "On top of that news, we've had a busy year in other areas as well, including moving to a new apartment in Manhattan, and buying a house in Orient, LI on the North Fork, near the summer home my family has owned since my childhood. The public relations agency I started in 1992 with my sister, Susan, Magrino Agency, is having a banner year. In addition to our longtime client, Martha Stewart, for whom we've handled publiciry launches this year for everything from garden products at Kmart to a new Halloween CD, our clients this year have included the St. Regis hotel chain, and magazine

clients, including Town &

Country, Cosmopolitan, 0 , The Oprah Magazine, Offipring, and Expedia Travels. I'm in touch with fellow classmates JENNY COOPER, PILAR PROFFITT (who had a baby girl named Grace in May 2000), REGAN HOFMANN HATFIELD, MIMI LAWSON-JOHNSTON HOWE, and DAN SUTTON '87, all of whom are doing well. BARBARA SCUDDER writes from NYC, 'Tm still with PaineWebber, Inc., doing financings for public and nonprofir hospitals and other nonprofir organizations. I had the most amazing vacation this spring, taking a couple of weeks to explore Arizona, l 0 days of which were spent hiking into, then rafting down, the Grand Canyon. I recommend this to everyone! In June, I was thrilled to get a chance to see STEVE BELBER recently on stage in The Laramie Project, a play he's been working on for a couple of years under Moises Kaufman, a well-known director and playwright. Steve is also a new dad! I'm also in touch with Becky Holt, Laura Thomas Standard, MICHELLE MONTI HARTIN, and SUSAN DIXON '90, who are scattered around the world and doing great things. Laura is also a new parent, having given birth to her sweet son, Elias, last December. Michelle Hartin writes, "I recently got a great promotion at

work - to Web project manager at HealthDialog.com in Boston. We are producing a Web sire that provides health care 'decision support' to people facing serious medical treatments for cancers, heart disease, and other conditions. Ir's heavy work bur a good cause. ,'

NANCY COTE SULLIVAN writes, "BILL '90 and I are expecting an addition to the family in December. Bill has a new job as a national account marketing representative for Random House and he's having lots of fun getting paid to read books.

Reunion was a lot of fun. I was amazed at how many people looked absolutely fantastic and seemed very happy. There were lots of adorable children and many nice significant others attached to members of our Class (more on that below) . Thanks to JEFF BARRY and ALEXIS BRASHICH MORLEDGE for leading us into the 10th Reunion. If you attended Reunion, you've probably already gotten a letter from Alexis. She asked me to thank everyone who came or contributed to Reunion. She is busy with little Louis and all of her volunteer work in New York Ciry. She volunteers with Junior League, Sacred Heart, (Triniry, of course), and the Museum of Natural H istory. We had an alumni award winner among our ranks. MICHAEL POE won the award for traveling the farthest. He and his fiancee, Sue-Ann, came to Reunion by way of the Caribbean. Michael looks great. Life Down Under is definitely agreeing with him. He used his time during his acceptance speech to dispel a popular myth . . . no one in Australia actually drinks Fosters. We have a new president and vice president. GREG

CLASS

NOTES

JOHNSON will be responsible for our next reunion. He won the illustrious position by making AD the unofficial, all-night, party headquarters for the Class of 1990. TIM CALLAHAN, a perennial Class favorite, is the vice president. Here is some information from some people who attended Reunion: Greg Johnson wrote, "My wife, daughter, and I had a great time at the 10th. I would like to receive feedback from our other classmates. What were some of the things they liked or disliked? If people want to send comments to me, they can e-mail me at home." His e-mail address is: gcjohnson@erols.com. It is never too early to start planning for the 15th. Consider the second weekend of June in the year 2005 booked. Greg spends a lot of time working at his company's corporate headquarters in Bermuda. I talked to RUSS OSTERMAN at Reunion. He started a new job with Luminant this summer. He and his wife are expecting a baby this fall. They are very happy in Santa Barbara, CA. I also saw MARIA BLACKBURN and JAMIE SMITH. I saw pictures of their son, Nicholas, but didn't meet him. He was home with his grandparems. It worked out well for me because it gave Maria time to entertain my son, Nate. Just two months later, I saw Jamie again. This time it was not 'neath the elms, but in the hot seat. Jamie was on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire." I have no doubt that Jamie would have won the million, bur his lifeline phone-a-friend gave him the wrong answer. I also saw photos of Ian Mawn, CHRISTINE DISTEFANO MAWN's son, who is already one and one-half. The Mawns live in Spring Lake, NJ. They are currently renovating their whole house. Sounds like a big project. By the time you read this, I hope Christine will have a kitchen. GINGER FAIRMAN KELSON and her family were on the quad with PAM

HICKORY ESTERSON's family. Ginger's daughter, Caroline, is the spitting (female) image of Ginger's husband. Ginger is staying home with Caroline and really enjoying it. Pam's son, Hugh, is also very cute. The Huppers (MARNIE FAESY HUPPER, DAVE HUPPER, and two Hupper boys, Briggs and Jack) came up for the afrernoon. With the exception of the fact that they are parents, it could have been springtime on the quad with them. They look exactly the same. I spoke to MEL OSBORN very briefly on the quad. He is living in the Boston area and doing well. If you saw a longhaired JULIE HOLT pushing a baby stroller across the quad, your eyes did not deceive you. However, there are no babies to report. Julie was just helping me schlep stuff to the hospitality tent. Julie is enjoying life in NYC and her job as a sugar broker. She is still full of energy, and so (frankly) I couldn't really keep up with her once we parked my stroller. I ran into LAURA BAILEY and NICOLE PRESBER in the Cave. Laura loves the LA life. Nicole was planning a move to London. The details were still somewhat up in the air. Stay tuned. Another person soaking up the AC in the Cave was RICHARD COLEMAN. Since October of 1999, he has worked at Sciame Construction. He is still living in NYC. VAL MILLER CANDON came from London for the Reunion. She looks great. Life in Europe is agreeing with her. She and her family, including husband, and son, Luca, moved from Paris to London earlier this year. She loves London and has perfected her English accent. Val was hanging around with former roommate, LISA FREEMANCONNOR. Lisa also looks great. She still loves Colorado, and she and her husband are very happy. I spent time with MICHAEL PANGAN, MD. He is as nice as ever. He and his wife have moved to Exeter, NH. He is in family practice (from the womb

to the tomb according to him), so if you know of anyone who needs a doctor in New Hampshire, have him or her call Mike! MICHAEL JOYCE was also at Reunion, but he was pretty tired when I saw him, so the only information I have is that he had a great time on Friday night. Another person that is still incredibly nice is TIM BOYLAN. It was great to see him and meet his wife, who is equally nice. Tim and STEVE KEMMLER are still in business rogether and we reminisced about freshmen year in Jackson. I shared a drink with CHRIS MISATHOROGOOD. She is living in the Hartford area. She is a teacher in Simsbury, CT at Squadron Line Elementary. CHERYL GIAMMUSSO is currently working at the American Councils for International Education in Washington, DC, as a program officer for a teacher exchange program. She wrote, "I really enjoy it and am gearing up for a very busy fall as we bring 80 teachers over from the former Soviet Union. I love living in the DC area and am trying to take advantage of the many opportunities that it offers. I was glad to be able to attend Reunion - I caught up with KAT (WILLS) MUTHIG, SUE CARROLL, TOM ROBINSON , and CHRIS ANDERSSON. Kat is living in Torrington, CT and working as an occupational therapist." COURTNEY JENNINGS BRYAN was at Reunion with her husband, Keith, and daughter, Ansley (17 months). They live in Sudbury, MA. Keith is working in brand management at Polaroid, and Courtney works for a start-up called Veridiem. She works with Veridiem clients as a marketing consultant. I spoke to BEKA JEANETTE FARRAR late in the evening. I learned that she and JASON have a daughter, Alexandra Jeanette Farrar. Beka told me that a group was planning to convene at STEVE SAFRAN's house on the Cape for a weekend this summer. Steve couldn't make Reunion because his daughter,

Sofia, broke her arm. ERIC HAMMERSTROM wrote, 'Tm a 10th- and 11thgrade English teacher at my hometown high school in Marquette, MI. I'm also the assistant high school hockey coach. I've been busy working on my master of arts in teaching humanities at Colorado College - no small task when you live a 24-hour drive from campus. I have a little house and a big dog, a 120-lb. rottweiler named 'Shaq,' which makes things interesting at times. Thank God, he's a good dog. I spent most of this summer sailing, biking, and sleeping late - a nice calm before the storm of sophomores [arrives] ." I saw CHRIS SEUFERT across the quad at Reunion, but didn't get to talk to him. He sent me the following e-mail, " .. .. you can see the latest film projects I'm working on at http://homepage.mac.com/mooncusser/personal.html. I just finished a short promotional film for the Birmingham Royal Ballet in England. The trailer for it has just been posted at http://homepage.mac.com/ mooncusser/iMovi eTheater2.html. I just got an apartment in Somerville, MA afrer moving back to the New England area from NYC." I saw JANE BEARINGER at Reunion, but got a more detailed update from her via e-mail. Jane wrote, "I finally finished my Ph.D. in biomedical engineering and decided I needed to travel. So, I am moving to Zurich by October for a postdoc at ETH. ETH stands for Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule (Swiss Federal Institute). I actually started looking into temporary positions in Switzerland because 1) I have never been 2) I am a chocoholic 3) I need to become a better skier 4) it is so close to everything else in Europe and 5) I want to know if St. Bernards will actually bring you whiskey in the middle of the snowy winter. I figure if I don't do it now when will I ever do it? My next grand plan is to travel around for a few months at the end of the term - we shall see if that actually happens. "

Jane and BETH CAPALDI were hanging around together at Reunion. T he life of the graduate student agrees with them. They both look the same, if not better, than they did 10 years ago. Although I saw JIM MURPHY across the sweltering Mather Dining Hall (a. k.a. Saga), I had to e-mail him to get the update on his wedding to Elinor R. Corkran. (She goes by the name Robin.) Some of you might remember her because she spent the fall of her junior year at Triniry. Jim writes, "I was spending the fall of my junior year in England at the same time Robin was at Triniry. We did not meet until almost 10 years later, but I became friends with a number of her Conn College friends who were on my program in England and she spent a lot of time at the AD house, enjoying fine brews and world class pong while at Triniry." Many alumni were on hand for the May 20, 2000 Wilmington, DE nuptials. H ere is a list of guests (descriptions courtesy of Jim). ART MULDOON '88 is an Internet guru livi ng in Seattle, WA. ROBIN HALPERN CAVANAUGH '91 and MIKE CAVANUAGH (more about their wedding, below) and Greg Johnson were also there. PAUL DIAZ and ANA CARVAJAL attended. Their elder daughter, Daniella, got a new sister when seco nd daughter, Elissa, was born this summer. JEFF PROULX just took a job as corporate counsel with Target. Jeff and his wife, Brooke, live in Minneapolis, MN. MALCOLM MACLEAN '92 was there with his wife, Mimi. They live in Old Greenwich, CT. BILL RYCKMAN '9 1 is livi ng in NYC, working hard as an investment banker, and driving his boat way over the speed limit. ED T ROIANO and his wife, Nancy, live in Rhode Island with their son, Jack Edward (about 17 months). Ed is still a Federal agent with ATF, worki ng in Providence, RI. BOB JOHNSON '60 is working hard for Triniry and babysitting his granddaughter, Li ndsay (Greg and Laura Johnso n's daughter).

JENNIFER MORAN '9 1 is a research analyst for DLJ in London and an international woman of mystery. NEIL WALSH lives with his wife, Ann, in San Francisco. He is a very fast rypist and computer genius. Jim is a vice president of investment services at Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities in New York Ciry. Robin is a cook and food srylist for the Food Network. I saw KELLY NASH QUINN and her daughter, Elizabeth, at Reunion. T he Quinns left Yale and the Connecticut shoreline to move to Cleveland in August. Kelly will be working as an MBA adm issions consultant, and Jim will be working in admissions and teaching and coaching. Also at Reunion and living in C leveland is SARAH C RISSMAN HOLLIN GTON. She has one son, Charlie, and another baby on the way (due in January). She told me that she runs into DAVID BATES on occasion. He has a son and is expecting a child this fall. AL FUENTE and his son stopped by the Hollingtons with some Dr. Seuss books last fall. MARIE DEMPSEY (who was first runner-up for traveling the farthest to Reunion .... corning from Bangkok, Thailand) wrote, "I had a great time despite being incredibly jetlagged. I actually got in on Friday and then drove up the whole way to Triniry. Was I exhausted when I arrived! The biggest news is that I left GE Capital and am now with Lehman Brothers based in Bangkok. Before I started, I was able to do some traveling around T hailand, Malaysia, and Myanmar with friends from home, which was a lot of fun. " I caught up with PETER D ENIOUS at Reunion. The Deniouses moved to Wilton, CT. Peter works at Whitney & Co., a private equiry and venture capital firm. He and KATIE EVERITI DENIOUS '91 are enjoying Eliza Kate Denious, coming up on 16 months old. Summertime weekends have found them catchi ng up with friends and spending time with family in Bayhead, NJ. They recently

caught up with Alison and BILL MONAGHAN '89 on Nantucket and frequently bump into Cassie and BOB HOPKINS '89, as well as MALCOLM MILLER. It was also great to see CHRIS POUNCEY at Reunion. I had a lot of fun talking to him. Although Chris enjoyed living in Miami, he loves being back in NYC. He was in Miami, working on an arena project for the Miami Heat, which was compieced at the beginning of this year. Chris switched companies prior to his return to New York and has been working on the Rockefeller Center redevelopment project since coming back. As for Triniry sightings, he's seen MELISSA GOLD JELINEK fairly frequently and has plans to visit Tim Callahan in Boston. Chris rode up to Reunion with Melissa and HEIDI WISBACH. Heidi has made the big move from Chicago to NYC (by way of Kansas Ciry). She lives in Midtown West. Her plans for the summer included attending ANNE STUART's August wedding to Robert Moser. Guests included Heidi, LIZ MACGONAGLE, TIM SEIBERT, and JEN BARR WELLS '9 1. Anne and Robert went to Greece for their honeymoon. MICHAEL PETRUCELLI brought his girlfriend, Ami Susan, to Reunion. Val Miller Candon (always the first with the true story) introduced her to me as Michael's fabola soon to be fiancee. About six weeks later, Michael made the engagement official. Wedding plans are underway, but very nebulous. Here are the details according to Michael, "My fiance's full name is Ami Susan Edds (but, of course, the last name is pronounced as if it were spelled Eads, just to keep things simple). She is originally from Indianapolis, IN, but has been living in DC for 11 years. For the full Triniry tie-in, you should know that none other than Mr. Jeffery W Barry, Jr, introduced me to her. Another hidden benefir to attending Trin." I sat next to Mike Cavanaugh

at dinner on Saturday night, but somehow didn't get the scoop on his wedding plans. He and Robin Halpern were married on August 5 in Bangor, ME, with the reception following at Robin's family home in Hampden, ME. There were about 25 alums present, including Jim Murphy, MIKE VANDALL, Greg Johnson, and RICHARD COLEMAN OIM DORMER was supposed to attend, but his flight was cancelled) from the Class of'90.

Some people who weren't in our class were at Reunion. JONAH COHEN '89 was there. Also on hand were BERNIE LEE '88 and his new daughter, Paige, who was born this past spring. His son, Owen, was home with the croup. Bernie and his family live in West Hartford. WENDY SALUSTRO '88 and TASA NAGASHIMA '88 came up with their son, Carson Rowen. He was born on April 18, 2000. Tasa, Wendy, and Carson live in Fairfield, CT. We all went down to see GREG DRUCKMAN's '88 father's photography exhibit at Austin Arts. The photographs were of different sporting events, ranging from the Olympics to the Triniry squash team. It was a great exhibit. Although MARTHA WILLOUGHBY wasn't at Reunion, some of you may have seen her on PBS. Martha was on the Antiques Road Show as an expert. Look for the episode

Sobel My travel schedule has calmed down a bit, bur I do manage to run into classmates all over the country. I saw DAN ALTERat the Ericsson Tennis Tournament in Miami in March. I have also seen TRACY HOFMANN in DC - she is concluding her clerkship with a judge in New Jersey, has finished taking the New York Bar, and is moving ro NYC at the end of the summer. Also, I run into JESSICA REINIS fairly often at America's Promise, her employer and my current client. Over Labor Day, I caught some cover with PETER ST. PHILLIP '90 during a rain delay at the U.S. Open. I recently celebrated my 31st (!) with TONY PARUSZEWSKI (we have the same b-day) in San Francisco. One Trin alum who

was in attendance was DAVE LILLEVAND '92. Also, I managed co convince a couple of Class of '9lers to join me at the Superdiamond concert at Irving Plaza on April 1. Needless to say, most of them assumed my request was a joke. However, the following group rallied for the pre-concert bash: BILL BRICK, MISSY and DYLAN REMLEY, Peter Sr. Phillip '90, and FRANK MONACO. Russ respectfully declined the invitation (or should I say mocked it?). ROBIN HALPERN and MIKE CAVANAUGH '90 were married on Aug. 5 in Bangor, ME with the reception following at Robin's family home in Hampden, ME.

LAWRENCE KOLIN writes that he is still practicing law in Orlando at a statewide firm , Conroy, Simberg & Ganon, PA., where he heads the medical ma!practice division of that office. Lawrence states he has spoken to Dan Airer who is in a similar law practice in south Florida. (Lawrence, Dan, and I attended the University of Miami School of Law together afrer Trinity.) DAVE COPLAND '90, who practices intellectual property law in Chicago, recently sent him an anticybersquatting case. Lawrence also writes that PAT LEE, who is still living in Korea, contacted him recently about a medical Internet site he is developing there. He relates that ED BERKOWITZ has joined the lnrernet cas sales start-up, Greenlighr.com and is living in California. Lawrence also saw NAT MOFFAT, who is now a proud father, and GREG FERRO, still at Aetna, in Washington, DC. He also heard from KIM STARR, who is married and living in Japan. Lawrence said he saw Robin Halpern at the Lotus Club in New York - still glowing from her engagement. Finally, Lawrence said he was visited by Trinity Professor Emeritus Albert Gastmann, who, at the age of 80, looks well and continues to travel and see his former students around the world! Lastly, KEITH RYAN is a federal agent and the proud father of triplets. From LAURA JELSMA DAVIS: "On June 24, 2000, MEG MONTGOMERY got married in Steamboat Springs, CO to John Morse (great guy, who is a ski instructor out there). Meg is teaching in Steamboat at a boarding school - Lowell Whiteman School. The campus is gorgeous and I think the kids get a month off in the winter to 'ski.' Pretty rough curriculum ...

COOIE STETSON BATES, MOLLY MONTGOMERY '90, and I were bridesmaids. TOBY BATES '90 and Cooie are back in Portland (they lived in Hawaii for three years). Cooie, Toby, Mike (my husband), our two daughters and I drove up to Steamboat from Denver in a minivan. Ir was a trip! Since coming back to Austin, I've broken down and bought a minivan for us. It's acrually great! I still work in a women's clinic as a nurse practitioner, part-time, and am home part-time. My husband is still teaching at the same school, St. Stephen's Episcopal." CHRISTINE COLLINS (SMITH) won the Olympic Trials in the Women's Lightweight Double last month. She has won the World Championships four or five times and medaled a number of other times. There is a very good article about her and her partner on line at www.nbcolympics.com, select "features," "rowing," and "Tough ,, Tandem. MIKE IRWIN was an assisrant coach for the United States at the World Championships held in Croatia in July. STASIA TALBOT PRIGGE writes, "This past summer has been exciting, as it seems there are several Trinity babies entering the world. Over the last nine months, STEPHANIE VAUGHN ROSSEAU, ROBIN COOK MCCONAUGHY, TRICIA CANAVAN, and I survived pregnancies - and, all were boys! I can safely say, without any bias of course, that all are very cure! Stephanie's boy is Decker, Robin's is Finn, Tricia's is Jack, and mine is Alex. Alex got to meet Finn and Jack over the course of the summer, and while they mostly sat and watched each other, it was a lot of fun to hang out and commiserate over the lack of sleep. As for me, I relucrandy went back to work recently in Annapolis, MD, where I have been a prosecutor for three years. It is so much fun playing with Alex, though, so my days can seem really long! As for other Trinity news, BETSY TOWNSEND has finished an MBA and is going to Merrill

Lynch to be an investment counselor. You are still likely to find her kayaking or mountain biking in New England in her free time, though, as she still loves the outdoors. PEYTON TANSILL also is vested in the financial world as an investment banker in New York City, but still rakes fun trips to see her friends who are all over the place. Also in New York City, MAGGIE RHEE has been busy working at the launch of Womens Sports Illustrated She previously worked at Life, which was a very different experience because of the long history of the magazine. I guess the change of pace has been exciting, although there were benefits to being with such an established magazine, also. Finally, PAULA MURPHY has been living in San Francisco for several years now. Afrer receiving a master's in journalism at Columbia, she now works at Berkeley, designing and editing Web pages. Apparently there is no hope of prying her from the West Coast. Well, take care to everyone, and visitors to the Baltimore/DC area are always ,, welcome. I tracked down PATRICK MCCABE, who informed me that his soccer agency, Laduma Sports Group, was recently acquired by Woolf Associates in Boston. He will head the soccer division and continue to work on player management and marketing. His big client these days is Mamadou "Big Marna'' Diallo, MLS 's leading scorer. He is also working with DEBBIE GAMMONS-BROWN and DAN WEINBERG '99, both Trinity grads. DAVID FERRIS left the retail side of Ferris, Baker Watts, Inc. to start a private equity group and high net-worth services in April. Surprise, another venture capitalist.

Scott moved to New York City to become the recruitment coordinator for the Peace Corps' New York office. LONNIE STEWART reporrs, "I was gainfully employed as a voice-over artist until May first of this year. That is the date when the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists went on strike against the advertising industry for presenting us with a contract that, in essence, would eliminate an actor's ability to make a living doing this kind of work any more. Management says it is their attempt to 'modernize' the commercials' contract. We call it a rollback. More than 135,000 actors across the counrry have now been on strike for over four months, the longest strike for actors in history. I am now one of many SAG/AFTRA strike captains here in New York City. I spend my days either conducting picket lines or trying to get nonunion actors to walk off the sets of commercials being shot in this city. It is a brutal battle, and I'm ofren in the path of projecriles being thrown at me from people on these sets, but I've made it clear to them that we're not giving in an inch, and that if they're dumb enough to continue shooting commercials in this city, we're going to make it very difficult for them. Such is the state of my life at the moment, and I look forward to getting back to work soon. If any of our classmates are involved with the advertising industry or Fortune 500 companies: don't let your bosses rip the rug from under the working families of professional actors. Pay them what they're worth, you can afford it." DAVE PAYNE '92 writes us from Palmer, AK!

Our daughter, Julia, is 21 months old and really keeping us busy! I'm also expecting our second child (we decided not to find out the sex) on Sept. 26. With a little luck, this baby will put in an earlier appearance - I've definitely had enough of being

pregnant! That's all for now. I'll let you know if we have a boy or a girl!" MARK DENU '90 (a.k.a.

Hello, all! Time for another thrilling installment of '92 Notes. This time around I've taken a new approach ro my task, and I've decided ro write while sipping wine at my favorite neighborhood outdoor cafe, Le Bateau Ivre, so if my writing deteriorates as the column goes on, you'll know it's the merlot talking ... I actually ran into two former classmates of ours at yet another hip NYC bistro, Cafe Felix, last spring; LUKE MCGRATH and JUSTIN ANDERSON had been brunching with friends and spotted me across a crowded room. We didn't get the chance ro talk for long, bur Luke foolishly gave me his business card, so I was able ro pester him when it came time to drum up some Class Notes news. Thankfully, he obliged and, with the help of Justin's editorial skills, provided me with this update: Afrer three years as an assistant D.A. in New York County, Luke has left criminal law, and was, at the time he wrote, teaching international human rights law at Fordham Law School as an adjunct professor on a one-year fellowship with the Joseph R. Crowley Program in International Human Rights.

As the Crowley Fellow, he led, with other staff of the program, a mission ro Mexico ro investigate that country's criminal justice system and the systemic failures that encourage or lead to torture, coerced confessions, and other violations of due process. Their report was ro be released in November 2000. Luke was planning on leaving the law school in September, and from there, he intended on clerking for Judge Nicholas Garaufis in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, starting Ocrober 1. Luke just recently moved ro Brooklyn, about a 15-minute walk from Justin and PHILIP GRAHAM. Philip has finished medical school and is in residency in pediatrics at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. (Phil, was that you I saw at a New York Liberty playoff game last summer? Sure looked like you ...) Justin is working for ABC News as an assignment editor on the assignment desk, following a successful stint as the ABC field producer traveling with the McCain campaign on the road for the Republican primaries. Luke also brings us up-to-dare on my former fellow-Boardwalk resident, ANDY LARSON. Andy just participated, as the CFO, in the sellout of Abuzz.com to The New York Times. Since getting the golden egg from the deal, he has left Abuzz and moved ro Seattle, where he is VP of finance at the new Internet subsidiary of the Body Shop. Many thanks to Luke and Justin for answering my plea and making this a more interesting submission of Class Notes. According to my sources, MARIE ELENA RIGO is now the global director of marketing for D aramoniror, a market analyst firm , splitting her time between New York and London, but based in New York City. Prior to joining Daramonitor, Marie Elena was a vice president with Cohn & Wolfe, a public relations firm owned by Young & Rubican. KAREN ISGUR sent forth an e-mail update of her goings-on

just in rime for this edition. Karen graduated from business school last May and began work at Coca-Cola in August. In the interim, she toured Europe: Rome, Siena, Florence, Naples, the island of Corfu, Athens, and then London - all in less than three weeks! Sounds like she had an amazing summer. Good luck in Atlanta, Karen! I am happy to announce that KATHY (KIMBALL) KADZIOLKA and her husband, Russ, welcomed a bouncing baby boy on Aug. 23, 2000! Kyle Lawrence Kadziolka weighed in over seven pounds and, thanks to the Internet, I received visual confirmation that he is adorable. Congratulations to Kathy and Russ, and welcome, Kyle! Of course, the first person to e-mail me with the news of Kathy's baby was JO MARIE (RUCCI) MIELAUSKAS, who's always quick to spread good news! Jo Marie is still living in Glastonbury with her husband, Nick, and spends most of her time working for Stanley in the corporate import/export/customs department on global issues with their international locations. More bouncing baby boys: CHRISTOPHER WEISS sent an e-mail to the alumni office some time ago (and they passed it along to me just now), announcing that he and his wife, Kristen, welcomed an eight pound, three ounce baby boy, Thomas Christopher, on Nov. 27, 1999. You can send your congrats - or a more timely happy first birthday wish - to the new dad at CWeiss@mfs.com. ERIC HOLTZMAN recently wrote in and announced the birth of his son, Benjamin Matthew, on May 8, 2000. Eric and his wife, Nathalie, (married in October of 1998, as I reported in an earlier edition of Class Notes) currently live in Los Angeles. When he wrote, Eric was looking forward to attending BRUCE OREM's wedding, set for August 2000 in Vail, CO. And finally, while I'm on the subject of weddings, KAREN BELEVETZ DEHAVEN sent along a derailed letter describing her Sept 4, 1999 wedding. I

NOTES

could not do it justice without quoting her directly; she writes of an "outside Renaissance country wedding. And it was lovely! The first torrential rains of Hurricane Dennis poured forth in Blessing at precisely two o'clock, the very moment I was to ride in barefoot on the back of a beautiful white stallion named Houdini. I ' entered through the light fog rising off of the parched, dry earth and was received by the arms of the most beloved man. True romantic gallantry!" Indeed! Karen, who received her masters in creative arts therapy from Hahnemann University, works as a dance/movement therapist at a hospital for children. Her husband, Bill DeHaven, is building a corporate massage practice in suburban Philly. They live in a countryside cottage on a Pennsylvania horse farm, and "play music and dance as often as possible." Thank you for writing, Karen, and I look forward to your next letter! Seeing as Karen's news is quire the tough act to follow, I'll be signing off for now. The cafe is about to kick me out in any event... where is The View when you need it? Thanks to those who have kept in touch, and thanks in advance to all of you out there who, I know, will be so inspired by reading this column that you will immediately write/phone/e-mail me with plenty of good gossip for next time.

Erin Kelly Galvin 135 E. 50th St., Apt. 3F New York, NY 10022-7514 e-mail: ekgalvin@legal-aid.org Class Agents: Rachel C. Freeman David E. Gerber Malcolm F. Maclean IV Matthew B. Woods Welcome back to all of you, and thanks for tuning in. As you read this, we are settling into winter, at least in some parts of the country. As I write, however, the fall is just getting started, and memories of summer are foremost in my mind. In between my first and second years of an MBA at Babson, I

spent the summer as an investment-banking associate ofUSB Piper Jaffray in San Francisco, working on IPO activity for Internet companies. It was a very exciting way to spend the summer, plus I earned the added bonus of being in my hometown for a few months. My wife, Nicola, took a break from her Ph.D. work to visit SF for a while, as well, making it an even better place. Now, it is back to / school and back to the serious work of keeping you all informed I of. .. well .. .of what you all ha e been doing! While in San Francisco, I had a chance to catch up with e-Coverage Chairman DAVID RIKER, still guiding his company through its gangbusters-like growth - no simple task in a fairly sour market. He continues to get profiled in the business press, and this fall will once again be involved in the teaching of the business school case studies written about him. Meanwhile, David was named to the Trinity Board of Advisers and is now a Fellow - congratulations! Occasionally we get to hear from people who have been lost to these pages for quite a while, and it is always great when they finally check in. PAM NOVAK is one such person, and now we find out why - she has been quire busy! Pam lived in the SF

Bay Area fa~~ years after graduation. While s edasually studied classical Tibetan uring her "California period," she has now taken the plunge and is in the Ph.D. first year of an program in Tibetan Buddhist Studies in the feligious studies department.at the University of Virginia."Pam spent this past su~er in Darjeeling, India, srudying colloquial Tibetan at a school where many international students come to learn the Ianguage. Pam had a great summer and enjoyed the segue into being a full-time srudenr once again. Welcome backI 1to the fold! Moving aqour a centimeter rom Virginia on my map, we nexl:_kome to WILL BRECKENFELD, who continues to enjoy life in Washington, DC, and still works as a trademark attorney for the government. He met up with JAY AKASIE for lunch in the Big Apple a few weeks ago. Will reports that Jay, who boldly left Forbes magazine a few months ago to get in on the ground floor of start-up publishing venture, Grant's Investor, is enjoying his new job and loves NYC. Another budding multi-media mogul, KIM PIOTROWSKI, is living in NYC and still pursuing an arr career while simultaneously working in the legal department at Oxygen Media in the

meatpacking district. (If nonmeat oriented businesses are going to have offices there, perhaps New York should consider changing the quaint moniker, "Meatpacking District.") Can Trinity folk in New York walk more than a block without being recognized? I would guess not. Perhaps we should issue floppy hats and dark sunglasses at graduation in order to keep the paparazzi (and the Reporters spies) at bay. STOREY (SMITH) WEST married Patrick West '94, and they now live in SoHo. Storey works as a nurse practitioner in a pediatric practice on W 88th Sr.; young Bantam parents take note! BRENDA SCHMERL also checked in from the City that Never Sleeps with an update on her life. After getting an MA in American studies from Yale last year, she moved back ro the City and, like everyone else, got involved in the Web. After working for eight months at an e-zine publisher, she has just started a great new job as a producer of entertainment and e-commerce at Family.com. Brenda also rurned informer on some of her friends. ELLEN SKOWRONSKI lives in NYC and works for the language-education Web sire, Parlo.com, and got married on Aug. 26 to Angel Polito (not a Trinity graduate -

Ellen, how could you?). Brenda was asked to be a bridesmaid. At the wedding, Brenda was hoping to catch up with some of the old school crowd, including BILL GHENT, currently working as a reporter for the National journal in DC, and who had the opportunity to cover the Democratic convention this summer. JOYA STELLA is, for the moment anyway, still living and working in Paris - although rumor has it she may return to the United States pretty soon. Finally, JESSE SIMSARIAN got his Ph.D. in physics from SUNY Stony Brook in 1998, got married to Eva Wood, another SUNY Ph.D . student, and moved to DC, where he worked at the National Institute of Science for close to two years. In August, he moved to Hoboken, NJ and is working at Lucent Technologies, while his wife reaches Spanish at Vassar College. Okay .. . I've waited long enough, and I know that you are about to burst with anticipation. On to summer wedding information. First, let me point our how disappointed I was about the scarcity of information I received on the sundry nuptial affairs that occurred. If this goes on, I will have to go back to hiring helicopters and bribing the officiant to collect information on these affairs.

I was lucky enough to be present when ASHLYN HILEY wed Eliot Foley on May 20 (also my birthday - certainly one of the best birthday parties I have been given). And, yes, I was invited. The service was wonderful, Ashlyn looked beautiful, and the reception, at the Hiley family compound in Katonah, NY, was all kinds of fun. We danced the night away with friends , including SUSAN (OLSEN) RUSCONI and John, LISA SEQUENZIA and her husband, and many others mentioned elsewhere in these notes. One such party guest was LYNN WOLFF, who subsequently had a great time on the summer wedding uail - attending those of Ashlyn, ANNMARIE FINI, CANDY CALON, and CASSIE BURNS ... so far. She was sad to miss RENEE MAILLOUX's grand day, but, unfortunately, had a family wedding the same day. Now that the excitement has subsided, Ashlyn has started at the Boston College School of Social Work, and notes how strange it is to go back to school at this age. "Especial.ly at BC," she writes. "It is simply flooded with undergrads!" She and Ebert find themselves living in the Jamaica Plain area of Boston, across the street from NICOLE

D 'AVIRRO. "It's like being roommates again, but being able to go home to your significant other!" In other Jamaica Plain local news, DAN SCANLAN returned from a whirlwind tour of the Old Country (the Emerald Isle) where he experienced a Scan.Ian fami ly reunion - 22 members of the clan, including KATE '88, celebrating life and family in a drafty Irish castle. The alumni office has learned that JULIE MASON lefr the White House and now works at AOL. Ju.lie writes that KAREN REGAN was married to Jon Rucker in North Carolina in August. The wedding season is hardly over, however, and this weekend (too late for this publication!) in Plymouth, MA, will occur the long-awaited nuptials of PRASANT SAR and his sweetheart, Alicia McCabe. A strong Trinity contingent is expected to toast the couple and then send them off to Austin, TX, where Prasant is starting his second year at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University ofTexas. More on this event next time around (but please do not hold your breath for three months!). The alumni office notes that TINA HANSEN and Adam Hopfner were married according to a notice in the April 9, 2000

issue of the Greenwich Time (CT). Moving on from the wedding circuit, and skipping the baby circuit, let's move right into the teenager circuit! Ever youthful AUDREY BRASHICH still loves LA, where, since November 1999, she has been the research editor at Jump magazine (which is for teen girls). Audrey writes that "in the August/ September 2000 issue of Ms. magazine, I had an article published on the (unfortunate) trend of Playboy Chic (like the magazine being considered hipper than ever, parties at the mansion being attended by folks like Gwyneth and Leo, clothing with the bunny on it being sold at Urban Outfitters ... that kind of thing)." As a resu.lt of Audrey's growing notoriety, Trinity's own Dean Winer has invited her to be a guest lecturer in his freshman seminar this October. She will be speaking about sexism, girls' adolescent experiences, and teen magazines. It doesn't seem like that long ago we were sitting in those same freshman seminars ... Audrey reports that RAN BARTON and his wife, Louise, had their first baby in early summer. His name is Randolph Barton IV "Rand." Congratu.lations to the happy family! Meanwhile, Audrey crashed Reunion this past June "to attend my sister Alexis's, 10th Reunion. The Class of '90 was there in full force," she reports, "and the campus looks great!" That seems like a positive note upon which to conclude this issue's update. It wou.ldn't be like me, however, to conclude without the following admonition: please write, e-mail, call, something, and let me know how and what you are doing! If you don't, I may jusr have ro starr making things up . ..

NOTES

Kids. IfI had to pick one ~ord to sum up this installment of Class Nores thar would be it: kids. I guess it's a sign of the times, but as I just reread my notes in preparation for writing this article (I swear I get flashbacks to college every time I have to write one of these ... the researching, the note-taking, the procrastinating) that's what stuck out as a reoccurring theme in everyone's updates. Everyone's having them. If not you, then chances are your roommate might be procreating. Or they're getting engaged and married which, if our parents all have their say, will lead to the having of kids. You get my point. Now onto the news .. . I'll start off with possibly the first person ever to e-mail me a picture of his offspring: GAR LAMOTHE. Yup, he actually surfaced. I, for one, had been wondering what Gar had been up to over the past six years. Here's his story: a few months afrer graduation he relocated to Dallas, which he seems to be loving. He is currently working as the VP of direct sales for Bank of America's consumer finance group. In Gar's own words: "I am also the proud father of a beautiful two-month-old baby girl Tierney Elizabeth LaMothe .. . Thank God, she looks like her mother - I was never a looker. Between the two women in my life and my 'marginally-improving' golf game, I have remained busy - also doing a lot of outdoor projects with the house." Gar's biggest regret seems to be that he's lost rouch with most of his Trinity pals, so if any of you are in the Texas area, be sure ro look him up. Seems rhar Gar's nor the only Texan our Class has ro offer. FELICIA GOULET-MILLER e-mailed me to say that she and her husband, LANNY MILLER '93, have felt out of touch from the Trinity community since their move ro the Lone Star State. After five years of marriage they, too, are thrilled to have a child: Riley Laurence Miller was born on May 28, 2000. Lanny is working on his doctorate in

marine science ar rhe Universiry of Texas at Austin Marine Science Institute, and Felicia is a research associate, working wirh stable isotopes. Felicia also keeps in touch wirh EMILY FRASER, who is engaged to be married in May 2001. Just to prove rhat Texas isn't exactly rhe farrhesr place from ol' Trin comes news from some of our international classmates: MATEI PAUN has been in Romania for rhe past rhree and one-half )'ears, working in finance. Recently, however, he became rhe CEO of Romania's largest Internet service provider and Web/Soft developer. NATHAN STOWELL checked in from Russia ro say rhat he is planning on coming home for Thanksgiving and hopes ro see as many people as possible. He furrher noted rhat he "will not be returning on a Russian submarine as originally planned. " In out-of-rhis-country nuptial news comes rhe LIZ MAYORGA-PAULO BARBOSA '93 merger. Now listen up, folks, because rhis sounds good: rhey got married in June in front of a small group of friends and family down in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. They had a "destination wedding" and planned five days

of acriviries for rhe guests, which included renting a boat, going snorkeling, having a Caribbean BBQ complere wirh a calypso band, holding a golf tournament, and, of course, lots of beach time, eating, and plenty of rum punch. I even saw some pictures, and rhey honestly got married in front of a sugar mill. And rhe brearhtaking sunset was quite rhe backdrop for a few pictures of rhe happy couple! I also recently had rhe pleasure of catching up wirh Liz and Paulo in rheir NYC apartment, complete wirh roofrop garden! Anorher New Yorker spending time out of rhe City is CLIFF FULLER, who claims ro be hiding out. He's currently in Maine, working on his next script and doesn't intend ro go back ro work until Ocrober. Earlier in rhe summer, he subler his apartment ro his sister and moved into his car. Much of his car-rime was spent going ro Trinity weddings. "In June, I was at BRIAN PITTS' in West Roxbury. And, one monrh later, MIKE SPAEDER got hitched to SHANNON JOYCE '95. It was bizarre because most of rhe same people were at borh of rhem.

his bachelor parry in Rocky Hill and Hartford. Pittsy was rhere roo. It was a long and beery night, and exotic dancers ensued." Mike rold me, himself, rhar he quite enjoyed his own wedding; I believe he said it was "awesome." The newlyweds are now living in Georgetown, and Mike is back at GW med school. Cliffy fans should note rhat two of rhe movies he worked on are soon ro appear: The Yards opens Sepr. 8, and Finding Forrester comes out Christmas. ''The big thrill of rhat latter job was speaking to Sean Connery on rhe phone a couple of times and not cracking up. He is a knight, you know." It seems rhat Cliff's wedding rour extended back ro rhe spring when he attended KAREN FLANNERY's May 20 nuptials in Minnesota. Karen writes, "It has been an incredibly busy spring. In a four-week period, I bought a house, graduated from rhe University of Minnesota's MBA program, got married, went ro Spain, and started a new job. I think rhat 'went insane' would be a fitting conclusion ro my list of May activi ries." I'd say rhat's quire a lot to fir into one month, no? Besides Cliff, wedding attendees included KEVIN and Sarah BURKE, KENDRA

NORTH WARD '93, and PETER NIGRA '95 . The new job Karen starred is in rhe global strategy department ofWesr Group, a large on-line publisher. Husband, Peter, is an internal medicine resident. Karen was also rhe firsr, bur not rhe last, person ro inform me of rhe birrh of Kevin and Sarah's firsr child, Samuel Thomas, born on Aug. 18. According ro Karen, "The first pictures hint at red hair." Interestingly enough, rhe Burkes weren't rhe first Trinity parents to give rhe middle name ofThomas rhis summer ro rheir child (how's rhat for a segue?!). On July 3, JENNIFER REAGAN MCCLEERY and her husband, Mike, gave birrh ro Wtlliam Thomas. The new family is currently in rhe process of moving up ro New Hampshire. TRANG CAMPBELL recently saw rhe trio, along wirh MELISSA HERRING, at TANYA RUSSIN and JEFF STEVEN's '92 wedding in Cape Cod. Trang reports rhat rhe wedding was "absolutely beautiful!"

marry Alyson Marie Roberrs in July. In August, Stephen began his career as a financial consultant at the investment banking firm, Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette. He will be training in NYC from August through December and then plans on returning to permanent assignment in Boston. EMILY MCCAMPBELL is also a Bostonian currently on a longterm project in New York. Emily mentioned that she'd love to meet up with some Trinity folks while she's in NYC. Of course, by the time you all read this she'll probably be assigned to some other town. Another recent graduate is AMANDA GORDON who, after four years, now holds a joint JD/MBA degree from Boston College, where she graduated Beta Gamma Sigma. She will be moving to DC in September and is quite excited about beginning her new job as an attorney examiner with the Securities and Exchange Commission's division of corporation finance. Amanda also reporrs that she will be living with CAROLINE SANTA-CRUZ, who is alive and well and in journalism school. As usual there is a lot of Trinity action going on in our nation's capital. As our own prez, DAN MONKS, so apply writes, "Life in DC is alright. Excitement abounds in the married with children portion of our fair city." First up, weighing in at seven pounds, four ounces is Annabelle Blum Friedman, born on July 17. Proud dad, PETER FRIEDMAN, sent me the obligatory e-picture. And just one mere day after it happened, ERIK SCHWARTZ let me know that on Aug. 28, Ms. Ava Claire Zawadzki Schwartz came into the world at seven pounds, 12 ounces. Yes, for those of you counting along at home, that is Erik's second child. In an earlier e-mail, Erik filled me in on the other things in his life: he seems to be enjoying the new family colonial-style home in Silver Spring, MD, which comes complete with three bedrooms, a yard, and a fence. Work-wise, he's at the same place he's been

for the past three years, where he currently manages a mediumsized sofrware development staff. He's actually working on a really cool-sounding project where they are "in the middle of a job that is the first of its kind, which will digitize and make fully textsearchable the entire archive of the Chicago Tribune." Hmm, house in the 'burbs, wife, two kids, respectable day job ... is this the same guy I lived next to in Northam? So anyway, back to the president. Monks seems to have resurfaced in the world of the employed after a bit of a sabbatical. He's now working for the Justice Department, "rolling around the country, migrating each district's computer systems over to a new operating system." And yes, he seems to hate it. In other presidential news, it seems that the most exciting nomination proposed at the DNC in LA might not have been the Gore/Lieberman ticket. Seems that the bigger question at hand may have been ADAM KREISEI.:s nomination of one Melanie Corcoran to play the role of his partner, not only for the 2000 campaign, but, hopefully, for life. And yes, she accepted. Hmm, Adam Kreisel getting engaged at the Democratic National Convention, how classic. We all should've seen it coming. Expect to hear this story retold a million times when he runs for his own place in the White House. Back in March, it seems that Washington, DC was infiltrated by many of our classmates. SARAH PIKOR OVERHOLSER e-mailed to tell me that she and her husband took a trip from Raleigh, NC, where they've been living since they got married in May 1999, to visit STEPHANIE COPE and JOHN DONOHUE. Visiting at the same time were NICOLLE NELSON and her husband, John Larson, who are living in St. Paul, MN, where they just bought a home. Also included in the get-together was DC resident MARGARET PRYOR. It seems that there was a gathering of all those folks over at the apartment

of GRAHAM JOHNSTON and JUSTIN OLIVER, where the visitors were all surprised by DEB WATTS and TASCHA KONTNEY, who had flown in from Boston. Despite the fact that the above was a tad confusing to write, Sarah reports that "it was great to have a mini Trinity reunion." Back in North Carolina, Sarah is working as a realtor and her husband, Dave, is a financial adviser with Morgan Stanley Dean Witter. They both seem to be enjoying living and working down south. To top off the DC news portion, I can also tell you that EMELIE EAST just returned to DC from a vacation in her hometown of Seattle. She sounds quite excited about being in her last year, along with Adam, at Georgetown Law School. And, sad to say, but the Dan MonksELI LAKE cohabitation experiment failed. In Dan's words, "The I told you so's had it pegged all the way." To follow up on another news bit reported on in an earlier Class Notes, KIM JANCZUK DUNN wrote in to make a correction. Apparently she's working at the Watkinson School (and not the Library as reported in the last installment of Class Notes though I'm sure the school must have one) in Hartford as the assistant director of development. She was afraid that people might get the wrong idea and think she grew up to be a librarian (not that she has anything against librarians, mind you). She also mentioned that by the rime the next Reporter is mailed our, she and hubby, Benn, will be living in their new home in Canton, which is currently being built. Speaking of switching homes, LIZ DUNCAN BETTY and her husband, Scott, moved back to Boston after a stint ofliving out in the Northwest. Scott is working for Monster.com, and Liz is back with her former company, Triple Dot Communications, working on marketing programs for Timberland shoes. Liz also let me know about a few schoolbound classmates: Deb Watts is starting an MBA in the hospital administration program at

Harvard this fall, and KEN THRESS is planning on finishing his Ph.D . in November. Upon completion, he and MEGHAN THRESS '95 are considering returning to New England to set up their home base. Before Liz left Portland, OR, she was visited by LIZ LOMBARDI, who was in town on her Sound ofMusic tour. "Getting the chance to spend time with friends (not ro mention live in a house for a change) is one of the best things about being a nomad." Exciting news on the tour front is that the Rogers and Hammerstein estate has decided to record the production for the archives at Lincoln Center. The tour wrapped up in June for the summer and then starts back up again in the fall. So continue to be on the lookout for ir; apparently they've been selling our in every city. Right after Liz visited Liz, Liz Betty took off for Connecticut to attend MOLLYTHIELE's April 15 wedding. SARA TITUS SKELLY, who's still working ar the Smart Museum ar the University of Chicago, sent me the list of Trinity attendees: Ken and Meghan Thress, Justin Oliver, Deb Warts, Tascha Konmey, ANITA SHIN ROBERTSON, BENNA LYNCH RONDINI , and CHRIS FOLEY. In September, Liz Lombardi is planning on singing in a review at Don't Tell Momma in New York. Momma's seems ro have !ors of Trinity ties, as it was also the venue for a Trinity comedy night a few months back. NICOLE RAY and I ventured out for the event, which was advertised as offering no less then three comedians from our Class: JOHN VIENER, ANDREW LEVINE, and KATY MCWANE (I think I'm remembering that correctly). Bottom line, none of them showed (though Viener did make it in rime ro say hi to folks as they walked out). Still, I had fun catching up with some of my favorite members of the Class of '93. The only other member of our Class whom I can now recall seeing was AMY MCGILL

DILATUSH, who was sitting next to us, along with her husband, John. I later got an e-mail from CHRIS MOREA, who was also in the audience and loved the show. He also let me know that he "wrote a few articles about 'Long Term Care' for a newspaper. Not exactly the riveting comedy I wrote in college, bur probably better suited for my current career." His wife, Cara, just graduated from St. Johns Law School, and the two plan to celebrate in Italy lacer this year. Chris specifically wanted MATT PIETRAFETA to know char he's "going to rediscover [his) swarthy roots. "

Back to Viener for a moment. He's working at Oxygen (Oprah's multi-media thing), which is housed above the Chelsea Market in NY, and across the street from my office, giving me the occasional pleasure of running into him on my lunch break. Also working at Oxygen is SUZANNE MOLINARO. And, yes, I also ran into her once on my lunch break. When not in the office, Viener is working on his stand-up career. A recent attempt at self-promotion via my Trinity '94 e-mail list actually led to a nice development. For those of you not on my list here's the one-line outcome: give me your e-mail address, and I'll add you to the list, which will give you late-breaking news about events in which our classmates are involved. What could be bad there? I can't vouch for che quality of the entertainment, but at least you'll be directly involved in launching our classmates into stardom, allowing you to wow others by saying you knew them when. And isn't that really what it's all about? Maybe it's just representative of the people who send me news, bur most of the news seems to be happening left and right of center. So, wake up land-locked state residents, and feel free to prove to me that you're out there. Consider this a challenge if that motivates you. To scare us off are a few Ohio residents: NATALIE WALDERS checked in co cell me that she just started her fifth year of graduate studies in clinical

psychology at Case Western Reserve University in C leveland, OH. She already finished her masters and plans to earn her Ph.D. in less than two years. She's specializing in pediatric psychology, currently working predominantly with children who have chronic health condicions. Also in Cleveland is JENNA INGERSOLL PEYTON, who bought a home there with her husband in March. According to Jenna, "Our two doggies love chasing the squirrels in our oak tree in che front yard, and I love playing in the garden in the back yard." When she's not out back, Jenna is enjoying her job as an associate at an employment firm. And that concludes our news of the interior. Now back to the coastal events ... MATT ROSENBERG just got a new job as a buyer's agent at the Willis Allen Company in La Jolla, CA, working in residential real estate. It, therefore, must have been extremely convenient for Matt to attend the recent wedding of LUCY SMITH and AMBROSE CONROY '97, as it took place right in his hometown of La Jolla. When not working the day job or attending weddings, Matt is also still coaching footbal l and lacrosse. The update on Adam Kreisel's California cooking is summed up nicely by the chef himself when he wrote, "While the hair color has 'dyed down' for the time being, the cooking has not." On top of all the stuff I reported on last time that Adam's still working on, there is one new development: "The owners of Mecca [where he's currently sous-chef] are soon to open a new place by the new ballpark called the Keyes, and I will be the executive sous-chef there. This will be a change of cuisine for me as well, from Asian fusion to a Caribbean-Cuban mix." Has any one of my reading-public out there had the opportunity to caste Kreisel's cuisine? I'm quire curious to hear some reviews! Speaking of good reviews, LIZA SCHWARTZ's mother promised Liza perfect weather on her wedding day. And somehow,

while most of this summer's weather in the Northeast can be categorized as wet, dark, and depressing, August 5 - the day that Liza was wed to JIM DEMICHELE '95 - was a perfect summer day in G lastonbury, CT. I was there to witness it myself, along with many other Trinity folks, including EMILY WAANDERS, BECCA LAWRENCE, LORNA ARCHDEACON, JOSH OLIVER, GABE HANDEL, STEPHEN MARCUS, JULIE GALLUZZO HALL, AARON WHITE, and ERIC SYNN. Here's a quick update on some of the above co-attendees: Emily's summer vacation was spent traveling (as a teacher, she gets the benefit of summers off) including going to visit an aunt with a time-share in Costa Rica (or was it Ecuador? - it was some tropical, rain-forest area); Becca spent her summer doing wildlife research in Utah; Lorna and Josh continued working on fixing up their house; Gabe got a promotion at work, so his tide is now assistant director, technology and planning, MBA program, Harvard Business School; Steve's gearing up for his own October wedding; and Julie is working on her post-doctorate in North Carolina, I believe, doing cancer research. Well, I scarred this long-winded update talking about all the kids the collective "we" seem to be having. Therefore it's nice to know that at least one of us is in the business of dealing with the issue of what to do with all of these babies. SANDY POLIDORO GRAVES is assistant director at a child care resource and referral office in Pittsfield, MA. In December, Sandy and her ever-growing family are planning a move to C lifton Park, NY, where they are contracting to have a house built. Over the summer, her office had an intern who will be entering her junior year at Trinity. According to Sandy, "It was wild hearing about the changes and not so many changes (i.e., late nights) at old Trin Trin!" So there you have ir...all I know as of Sept. 6, 2000.

Congratulations and good luck to all, where appropriate. Remember to continue sending me the updates on your lives and the lives of our classmates with whom you interact - you guys are doing great (a little positive reinforcement never hurt, right?)! I'll be back co check in, in a few months. Until then, cake it easy. Rachel H. Brumberg 680 West End Ave. New York, NY 10025-6815 e-mail: rhbrumberg@yahoo.com Class Agents: Stephanie E.

Reunion 2000 was a blast! Our Class had such a great showing that MAXINE SKAGGS (outgoing vice president) and I were presented with an award! The Jerome Kohn Award is given to the Reunion Class with the largest percentage of its members returning to Reunion. According to the official registration numbers, 35 percent of che C lass showed up, which is 156 members of the Class. However, I know that many more people arrived on campus during the weekend, so the numbers are probably higher. During our Class dinner, ELLEN SCORDINO was elected President of the Class of 1995, and ANDY PYPER was elected Vice President. Thanks to all those who worked so vigorously behind the scenes on my re-election campaign. I am pleased to be able to serve a second term as Class Secretary. It was so great to see so many of you at Trinity again! I'm looking forward to keeping up with what's happening on campus through my brother, Michael, who is in the Class of 2004. I brought him up to Trinity at the end of August for orientation. I had flashbacks to our own oriencation and square dancing in the Washington Room. You will be pleased to know they have eliminaced the square dancing portion of orientation. During the convocation for the Class of 2004, Sharon Herzberger, vice president for

CLASS

student services, asked the parents to look around and give a smile or a kind word to other parents seated beside them. "You never know," she said, "someday they may be your in-laws!" The parents laughed, nervously, and I laughed, knowingly. HEATHER DUNBAR reports that SARAH HIRSCH and PAUL ESPANOL.s wedding at the Trinity Chapel was full of merriment. The couple was wed shortly after Reunion. JENNIFER NISIVOCCIA, who is preparing for her own wedding, reports that LEXI JAMES is engaged to long-time beau, Ian Tawes. The wedding is planned for Jan. 27, 2001. LAURIE SCHAEFFER writes that she was married on Aug. 5, 2000 to Rob Young. "I did change my name, so I'm actually Laurie Young now. We had a fabulous time on our honeymoon on the island of Madeira and in Spain. We bought an adorable lirde house on a beautiful piece of property in Pumam Valley, NY. Now that I don't have to worry about wedding plans anymore, I've been attempting to learn how ro garden. In September, I'll be starring my fifth year of reaching high school history in Clarkstown, NY. There are new challenges constantly, bur I'm still loving ir. I've been reaching ninth- and lOthgraders since I starred there. With 15- and 16-year-olds, there is never a dull moment. This year, I'll also be getting an AP European history class, which I'm sure will keep me just as busy. Actually, it was a combination of moving, wedding plans, and endof-the-school-year madness that made ir impossible for me to get to our Class Reunion. Laurie writes that KIM RADOS (Powell) was married to Blake Powell on June 24, 2000. They're living in Nashville, TN. Kim is in the process of getting her MBA at Vanderbilt University. Laurie was in her wedding in Nashville, and six weeks later, Kim came up to be in Laurie's wedding in New York. MARGOT MOSES writes that she married Patrick Hynes on May 27 and that she had "a

great rime catching up with a few of our Trinity friends. KRISTEN DIESEL '94, WENDY RADGOWSKI, and BRIDGET HATT all attended, and KELLI MURPHY was one of my bridesmaids. We had a great weekend our in Minneapolis bur the weather was awful. Ir's good luck, right? Anyway, married life is nor that different just better. We are currendy looking for a house. I am still reaching at the Breck School, eighth-grade history, and if anyone gets out to Minneapolis, he or she should look me up. " Margot ran into JOSH NEWSOME at the stare hockey tournament. SHANNON JOYCE married MICHAEL SPAEDER '94 in July. Shannon writes that lots of fun Trinity '95ers came and danced up a storm - made Trinity proud. A mini-version of the Pipes sang a few songs. She says, 'Tm still working in book publishing, and Mike is about ro start his second year at GW Medical School. We're living in the District." TIM SULLIVAN, a man, who, by his own admission, is "notoriously vicious and intemperate in disposition," sported the aforementioned Shannon Joyce Spaeder driving along Route 128 in the Boston area. Tim sounded the horn on his car of foreign manufacture, to no avail. Shannon, her mind occupied with thoughts of marital bliss, continued to travel north without noticing Tim.

Tim also discovered the mysrerious path of lighming through his home after a recent storm in Stoughton, MA. Here are some excerpts from his logbook. ''Apparently the lightning forked at some altitude over my head and impacted the 100-foot steel windmill rower in my backyard. The voltage then traveled down the wires and blew the control circuits in my basement to smithereens. Oh, and if you ever think of me as unlucky - just remember that I have been struck by lighming twice now - and counting. " STEVE KANE graduated magna cum laude, The Order of the Coif from Georgetown University Law School in May 2000. Steve was the project editor of the Georgetown Law journal and received the International Academy of Trial Lawyers Award for Appellate Litigation. He has been appointed a clerk to Judge Frank Magill of rhe United Stares Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. Steve will be associated with the Chicago law firm of Mayer, Brown & Platt upon completion of his clerkship in 200 I. Afrer finishing law school in May of 1999, IAN SMITH joined PaineWebber's Hartford office as a financial adviser. His business focuses on long-term investment strategies and estate planning. AL CARBONE writes rhar he was married on July 1, 2000 to Tracey Longo in Fairfield, CT.

Colleen M. Smith Hello, all. There's a whole bunch of you who wrote in just after the lase sec of notes were due, which means a good deal of this information will be way out of dace. Actually, even those of you who wrote in before the deadline will probably notice that your news is outdated by the time the issue comes out. My best advice for you is to anticipate as best you can the major events that might be occurring in your life over the next six months and then write in and tell me about them. Imagine the fun you'll have when the notes finally come out, and you can see if your predictions came true. KATHARINE PARKER writes in that she is back in England after spending two and one-half years in Greece, doing excavations and teaching. She is also engaged to Richard, whom she met while she was living in Greece. The two of them have bought a flat and are planning a September wedding. They are planning to take four months off, starting in November, to go traveling in Asia, New Zealand, Australia, and the United States (including a visit back to Trinity some time in February). Katharine reports that she is not really in touch with anyone from our Class except SHARA ABRAHAM, who visited Katharine in London last spring and will be in attendance at Katharine's big day in September. Shara is still in law school at American University and is working at the American Bar Association - Central and Ease European Law Initiative (ABACEELI). CHRISTINA OLSON is working as a senior database

manager for Factset and is living in Stamford, CT. DON JACOBS, who received his MA in history last year, is currently working at a publishing company in the DC area. The company publishes books on history and international affairs, so Don is actually able to put all his history studies to good use in his job. H e occasionally sees other Trinity people, mainly JULIE FLAMANT and Shara Abraham. TAMMY NICOL just began a Ph.D. program in cognitive science at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. She says she was sad to leave New York but is really excited about the program, and had a great going away party thrown by her boyfriend, MATT CHAMPA '95, and attended by WHITNEY POMEROY and SUZANNE MOLINARO '94. Tammy keeps in touch with TOM ZILS, who is working as a digital composer at Cinesite in LA. H e recently (or not so recently) finished a "shot" for Mission Impossible II. Tammy also reports that SHWETA SHAH and her husband bought a house in Michigan, which they moved into in April. BRENDA CURTIS has returned to New York after spending some time in Bali, working on a research ship, traveling around the Pacific studying corals and fish, and working on a documentary about people of the area. She says she is not really pleased about being back in New York, but so far her job on the production staff of the USA Network is going pretty well, and that she recently met up with VASS ELIOPOULOS, who is in medical school at Cornell. ROBERT COLEMAN is working for his father's insurance brokerage firm in Hartford, while simultaneously working on a master's thesis at Trinity. H e received an honorable discharge from the Marine reserve, and is currently applying to Ph.D. programs in history and looking to work (for a year or so) in South Florida in the Port Lucie area. He sees other Trinity alumni at New England rugby tournaments or at Homecoming, but

hopes to see more folks at our upcoming five-year reunion in June. Other than that, he corresponds with BRIAN HAREL, who is at UConn, working on a Ph.D. in clinical neuropsychology; he was finishing his master's thesis this past spring. CAROLYN YOUNG and CHASE TOOGOOD recently returned from 10-month-long trip, traveling west around the world. They are currently living in Bermuda where they have just bought a house together and are engaged to be married next year. While Carolyn toils away at her job at an insurance brokerage firm, Chase spends lots of time at the beach, waiti ng for his immigration papers to go through so he can start working as well. Carolyn stays in touch with MEAGHAN O'MALLEY (living in Boston and working at the State House), AMY MARCOTTE (married her high school sweetheart last spring), BECKY HAIGHT (working in Chicago), and LIZ ZALINGER (working in IT in Denver, CO). ANNE CHICK just got back from a six-week trip to Europe with a bunch of friends from high school and is back at work at Hill, Holliday Advertising in Boston. She is engaged to be married in May 2001. She provided lots of information on classmates: CAROLINE MOORE and ELLIOT BROADFOOT are married and living in London, where Caroline is working as a teacher and Elliot is working at Merrill Lynch. SAM BRICKLEY got married in May 2000 to Brett Schweizer; the two are living in Atlanta, and Sam is working for an Internet start-up. AMANDA SULLNAN is working at a nonprofit in Boston called Save the Harbor, Save the Bay. BROOKSIE ROBBINS is working at EF Tours, customizing tours for high school students traveling abroad. SARAH HINKLE will be attending Harvard this fall to get her master's in education; she, Amanda, and Brooksie will be living together in Cambridge in September. BENTLEY WEINER has been working for Regis and Kathie Lee for the past

four years (which I think is now just "Regis" since Kathie Lee left to "pursue other acting and singing opportunities.") WHITNEY VAIL is still living in Boston and recently got engaged to Rob Bodurtha. They are planning a wedding for sometime in the fall of2001. LINDSAY CONWAY is also living in Boston and working in development. TORY HASKELL moved to Boston last fall and is "feverishly at work" in account management at Akamai Technologies. SARA SHATZEL, who has been living in Boston for a few years, is tentatively planning to work in France for an undetermined amount of time. LIBBY SEIBERT moved to Boston in June and has started a master's in education program at Lesley College. MIKE O 'NEIL, yet another Bostonian, just started working for an IT recruiting firm. TYLER EDDY and CHRIS PARZYCH are living together in New York, and are both working at Internet startups. COBY BROWN and JOSH GRUSS are also living in New York. LEXI HOLBERTON is living in New York, working on her graduate degree, and getting married at the end of September.

NIKKI BALAZS and AMANDA LIFSCHULTZ are living together in New York; Nikki is doing something involving organizing conventions and events, and Amanda is getting her master's in education at NYU. JAMILY BALY has been working at Emisphere Technologies, Inc. in Westchester County for the past four years, doing research and development work in the pharmaceutics lab. She is also a postbac student at City College of New York and intends to get her MS in education so that she can teach high school chemistry in the next couple of years. In July, Jamila got engaged to Harry Harris on the lovely island of Barbados. She occasionally hangs out with JOY SCOTT, BERZET MAY, MONETHA HARRIS, and NATALIE LEBLANC '98 in New York City. Joy and Jamila are bridesmaids for Berzet's wedding in October. JON GOLDSTEIN has reluctantly provided some information about himself, after much cajoling.

D an Berman '01

rom my vantage point, it's painfully clear that the baby boom generation is out of control. I'm not too sure how it happened, but somehow an attitude of superiority mixed with yearning for a lost youth has leaked into boomers' brains, and they're taking it out on the rest of us. Let me explain. As a 20-year-old college student, I am on the borderline between the post-baby-boom generation and the post-post-baby-boom generation , known to the rest of America as Generations X and Y, respectively. Of course the boomers are the ones doing the naming, out of some strange need to classify and rank generations of Americans. Generation Xis so named because boomers couldn't find anything else that could explain these people other than a symbol signifying "random." Generation Y is simply the offspring of that lazy imagination. Gen Y also happens to be the offspring of the baby boomers themselves, which leads to labels such as "technologically savvy," a compliment they pay us mainly for knowing the skill of VCR programming, an event that apparently elicits the same awe and excitement as the moon landing. The 30th anniversary of the moon landing was just one event that boomers latched onto in the summ er of 1999, a banner seaso n for nostalgia. It all started with the untimely death ofJFK, Jr. In the days following his fatal plane crash, there was no shortage of stories about how this even cut across all generational boundaries, how he was a symbol of his father and a simpler, more idealistic time. However, simply because everyone was aware of who JFK, Jr. was certainly didn't mean that they shared in the meaning of his death. Certainly I knew who JFK, Jr. was, but his death did not rekindle the memories of the 1960s because I have no memories of the 1960s. It was before my time, and therefore my feelings about the crash are limited to today's realities. That reality is pessimistic and skeptical. I have been conditioned to look for the negative first, perhaps the positive later. I didn't watch JFK's inauguration in seventh grade; I watched Anita Hill testify instead. Times change. Is this bad? Is it wrong? One of the sub conscious preoccupations of baby boomers seems to be to compare other generations to their own in an attempt, basically, to make themselves feel better. For example, boomers somehow believe every generation needs some defining moment to provide a point of reference so that generation can be more easily understood. The boomers cite several such touchstones, including the Kennedy assassinations, the civil rights movement, Vietnam, and the moon landing, all nicely framed by the Cold War. They speak of a lost innocence and lost idealism, but have a strange sense of accomplishment in having experienced so much. Now my generation is asked to rekindle that lost spirit. We even had our turn at Woodstock '99. But another Woodstock is just that: Woodstock repeated. The second one had $150 ticket prices and beer gardens, with coverage on MTV promoting the pay-per-view option. This had nothing to do with the '60s and everything to do with cashing in on nostalgia, and everyone knew it. What will they think up next? In the end, my generation doesn't have anything to lose. The bar has been lowered to the point where even if we meet others' expectations, nobody will notice. It's impossible to win in a battle where the opponent defines and changes the rules to stay on top. The reason my generation is frowned up on is that we have chosen not to fight previous generations, which is seen as a sign not of strength, but of apathy-which is, by the outdated definition, wrong. Apathy is simply a sign of indi vidualism. In a wo rld against us, it is a pretty nice trait to have. When told we have no prospects yet still carry heavy burdens (someone has to pay for Social Security, for example), our hopes for success must rest within ourselves . We have been forced to defend ourselves first; then we'll save the world. Unfortunately, the experiences of baby boomers have been reduced to convenient marketing tools, so that they can spend their money on nostalgic things like the new VW Beetle (which may also be popular because it can fit next to the SUV in the garage). I see this commercialism, the second Woodstock, the capitalist nostalgia , and that's how I relate to the baby boom. ls there any wonder that I'm sick of it?
