he Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHM I) has awarded

Trinity an $800,000 grant to increase student research opportunities, promote faculty development, broaden access to life sciences courses, and strengthen curricular and research ties among those departments and programs. According to Alison Draper, director of the Trinity College Interdisciplinary Science Program, "By receiving this award from HHMI, Trinity joins a select group of liberal arts colleges renowned for their science education and research capabilities." The HHMI grant will be used to augment ongoing efforts to recruit life science majors and enrich student education through expanded opportunities for, and earlier immersion in, self-directed research-a hallmark ofTrinity's undergraduate Interdisciplinary Science Program. Funds were requested to hire a full-time laboratory assistant, which will free faculty members to devote more time to supervising stu-

ly during the latter part of their undergraduate education. The proposal supports the doubling of the number of students able to participate in summer research, with special emphasis on underclass students. In addition , HHMl funds will support tl1e expected increase in the number of students who choose to continue to explore research issues in greater depth over the sunm1er, and help establish a fall science symposium-to complement an annual spring science symposium, which tends to serve more advanced third- and fourth-year students-and to subsidize student participation in regional and national science conferences. The grant will also fund equipment to facilitate the incorporation of quantitative methods and state-of-the-art technologies into existing and

FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Members of the Trinity College Community, As I write this, my first column as President here at this noble College of ours, the carillon is pealing forth; our Dream Camp participants are running about the tepees erected near the good Bishop, who is gazing fondly upon the children; and the newly restored Chapel shines brightly in my side window. For the past few months, so many of you have taken time to write us notes of welcome, and no one could ever feel so warmly welcomed as have Jan and I since the announcement of our corning to Trinity was made this past winter. From the members of the President's Office staff like Fran Casasanta and Maureen Field, from all the members of our fine Buildings and Grounds team who

have worked on the President's House, from so many of my new colleagues on the faculty, to new friends in Hartford, the efforts made on our behalf have been both touching and comforting as we begin our lives at Trinity. This College has long embodied a mixture of respect for its past traditions of excellence and of forward-looking initiatives. We are going to embark this fall upon a strategic planning exercise organized around a number of working groups of faculty, staff, alumni, parents, and students that I have taken to calling "Cornerstones." These "Cornerstones" will be just that: foundations upon which we shall try to build the College's future. Simultaneously, we shall work with our counselors to begin preparations in our Advancement area to try to meet as many of our alumni and alumnae as possible within the next several months. I have thus far heard so many stories about the innumerable transformations that occurred to so many of you at Trinity that I look forward to learning more about this fine College of

ours. Jan and I are presently trying to get acquainted with the City of Hartford and look forward as well to meeting our new neighbors around the Learning Corridor. Jan and I were very honored to have been asked to join all of you who make up the Trinity College community. The College is graced by an exceptional Board of Trustees, by an outstanding faculty and staff, and by some of the most qualified and successful students to be found at any college or university in the country. We pledge to all of you who care about this special place that we shall do everything we can to be worthy of your trust in the months and years to come. I hope that the summer was kind to you all.

Yours sincerely,

Greasing the Wheels

Dia11a Eva11s, Prcifessor of Political Sciwce (Ca mbridge University Press, 2004; 267 pages) Pork barrel projects are often seen as one of Congress's most widely despised activities. Yet, leaders in Congress and the president often trade pork for votes to pass legislation that serves broad national purposes, giving members of Congress pork ba rrel proj ects in return for their votes on general-interest legislation. It is a practice that succeeds at a cost, but it is a cost that many political leaders are willing to pay in order to enact the broader public policies that they favor. There is an irony in this: pork barrel benefits, the most reviled of Congress's legislative products, are used by policy coalition leaders to produce the type of policy that is most admired-general interest legislati on. This book makes the case that buying votes with pork is an important way in which Congress solves its collective action problem . Understanding Your Neighbor's Faith: What Christians and Jews Should Know About Each Other

Edited by Philip lAzowski (KTAV Publishing House, Inc., 2004; 403 pages) Among th e authors in this collection of essays are four people associated with Trinity, including Frank Kirkpatrick '64, acting dean of faculty; W. Robert Chapman '91; The Rev. Robert W. Cudworth '45; and Andrew Walsh '79, associate director of the Leonard E. Greenberg Center for the Study of R eli gion in Public Life. Each of the 10 chapters is a concise, straightforward explanation of a particular faith , including Judaism , Roman Catholi cism , Protestantism , and Angli can ism , among others. The values, beliefs, and traditions of each of them are explained in lay ter ms, and the text is often based around questions such as "What are the principal tenets of Judaism?", "What is Holy Orders?", and "What is the ultimate authority for beLi ef and practice in your denomination '" Th e idea for th e book cam e out of a visit by non-Jewish clergymen to the H oly Land that was organized by the editor.

An Unfinished Season

Ward )11st (Houghton Mifllin Co., 2004; 251 pages) Review by Bill Kirtz '6 1 Mann er and mann ers count with Ward Just. You wear a dinn er jacket, not a tux. You buy it at Brooks Brothers, not Marshall Fields. You always dance with the pudgy cousin. But a Ward Just hero needs something more: to try to resolve the eternal confli ct between loyalty and independence, to maintain a sense of honor in a fl awed world. Without bravado and with achingly achieved self-knowledge, Just's characters muddle along, compromising when th ey must, but never confusi ng compromise with ri ghteousness. Ever sin ce he left Trinity in 1957, without a degree,Just has been writing: first as a repo rter on his family's Waukegan, Illinois, daily (subj ect of his 1978 A Family Tmst), then as a N ewswee k correspondent in Cyprus (which figures bri efly in this 14th and current novel, A11 Utifinished Season) , and later as an acclaimed Vietnam correspondent. Somewhere along th e way, he became tired of reportin g facts. Instead, he began to write fi ction " that went beyond the facts and (was] in the ambigu ous area w here most of life takes place." M ost of Art Utifinished Season takes place in the 1950s, in the " debutante's archipelago" of Chicago's North Shore. Hero Wils Ravan, as bored as Ju st with straight journalism, wants to see how lives "were lived, the terms of th e deal, and w ho was shufflin g the cards." Just's social specifics-the right Cole Porter song, the proper way to make a martini-recall th e caste mi croscope (but not the snobbery) of JohJ1 O ' Hara, whom his characters often cite. His loving dissections ofWindy City wheeling and dealing resemble Saul Bellow's. His insistence on probing the consequences of acti ons suggests Henry James. His glowing descr iptions of gilded privilege evoke Fitzgerald , another favor ite fictional reference. He takes you to jazz dives and boardrooms, Al Capone goons and psychiatrists' couchesnever forgetting the guns in back of the suave talk as men grapple for money and power. In Ward Just's world , you watch, you learn, you stumble, you do what you can, and you get no tidy resolutions. As Wils finds," Loose ends stay loose." R espectfi.Iily reviewed, pri ze-laden , and frequently praised as Washington's most deft social chronicler, Just once disputed an interviewer's hardly unique view that he's America's most

Florence Fay Pritchard and George I. Whitehead, III '67 (Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Publishers, 2004; 274 pages) This book provides a framework grounded in theory and professional practi ce that middle and high school teacher , their students, and conununity partners can use to design , implement, and evaluate servi celearning proj ects that address authentic community needs. It also demonstrates ways collaborative service-learning can enhance students' intellectual development, promote their academic achievement, strengthen their citizenship skills, and accelerate th e kinds of educational accountability and reform initiatives emphasized in the national educational standards movement and the 2002 No Child Left Behind Act. Small Songs of Pain

Patricia Farg11oli '73 (Pecan Grove Press, 2004; 48 pages) The 37 poems in this volume are based on a series of paintings by Marc Chagall, which, in turn, were based on a selection of LaFontaine's fables. Fargnoli set herself the project of meditating on one of the paintings per day and writing a daily poem that grew out of her meditations. Although the poems use the paintings as a startin g point, Fargnoli made a conscious attempt not to merely make a written translation of them , nor did she read La Fontaine prior to her project. Instead, she has used the rich imagery of the work to initiate a series of her own reflections on desire, ambition, death , and human folly.

This October marks the 50th anniversary of the visit of President Dwight D. Eisenhower to Trinity to receive an honorary degree. The first president to come to the campus during the 20th century in an official capacity, Eisenhower was a close personal friend of Dr. Albert C. Ja cobs, Trinity's president from 1953 to 1968. Their friendship had been forged in the late 1940s when Jacobs was servin g as university provost during Eisenhower's presidency of Columbia University. Eisenhower was an e}..'traordinarily popular figure in the 1950s, having achieved stature as a national military hero during World War II in connection with his conm1and of allied forces for the re-conquest of Europe. Winning the 1952 election on the Republican ticket, Eisenhower became America's 34th president. During two terms in office, 'Ike' presided over a nation confident in its role as a world leader, and his presidency is remembered for the ending of the Korean War, the establishment of the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization, the proclamation of the Eisenhower Doctrine in the Middle East, and a firm stance on relations with the Soviet Union. On the domestic front there occurred several important appointments to the Supreme Court, including th at of Chief Ju stice Earl Warren; the

the additions of Alaska and H awai i to the Union as the 49th and 50th states, respectively. Other challenging developments that confronted Eisenhower included th e Supreme Court ruling that racial segregation in schools was tm constirutional, the Soviet laun ch of the Sputnik satellite and the beginnings of America's space program, the U-2 reconnaissance flight incident, and the Cuban Revolution and the rise of Castro. Before coming to Trinity, President Jacobs enjoyed a long and distinguished ca reer in teaching and adntinistration. A Rh odes Scholar from the University of Michigan, he received his law degree from Oxford. Jacobs joined the law faculty at Columbia in 1927 and rose quickly to a full professorship. Director of the dependents welfare division of th e Bureau of Naval Personn el durin g World War II, he returned to Columbia where he served under Eisenhower as provost. Ja cobs then became chancell or of the University of Denver before coming to Trinity. His presidency of the College was marked by an increase in under-

neighborhoods and schools in th e era of the civil rights movement and the war in Southeast Asia. The original footage, intended as a series of short documentaries for use in public policy advocacy, was filmed in the city during the summer of 1969 by filmmakers from the N ational Film Board of Canada and U C LA, working with local Black Panthers, conununity activists, and other Hartford residents . The 1969 project utilized a technique know n as the Fogo method, named for a fi shing community in N ewfoundland where C anadian filmmakers, sent by their government, helped reconcile feuding members of the island village by allowing each side to see and hear the oth er side on film-th e result was a successful fishing cooperative created to avert certain economic disaster. Because H artford was particularly torn by the disparities between wealth and poverty in the late '60s, it was hoped that the Fogo meth od could help C o1mecticut's capital city bridge deep ra cial and socioeconomic divisions. The Fogo team, including prominent Canadian filnunaker and O scar-nominee Julian Biggs, arrived in H artford with government funding supplied by the U.S. Office of Economic Opportunity. For a variety of reasons that included a change in political leadership in Washington foll owing the 1968 elections, budgetary con cerns, and th e failing health of Biggs, the 1969 foota ge was never released for its

intended purpose. As the members of the crew went their separate ways at the end of 11 weeks of filming, they gave 13 canisters of footage to Charles "Butch" Lewis, a decorated Vietnam veteran and founder of the Hartford chapter of the Black Panther Party. Under Lewis's leadership, the Hartford Panthers had established a free breakfast program for school children, as well as a "street academy" that offered alternative educational programs to high school students struggling in public schools. Lewis had been an integral part of the original film crew-guiding crew members to appropriate locations for filming, arranging Panther protection , and, at times, operating a camera. Passionate about his community involvement as well as the future of Hartford, Lewis was convinced that, at some point, the film would be valuable. "I knew that what we had done up to that point was good," Lewis remembers. "We just weren't able to finish it. It was important work, but the filming just stopped all of a sudden." For more than 30 years, the bulk of the film sat, cool and dry, in a locker in Lewis's basement. In 1999, following an announcement that an exhibit of news photographs was being sponsored by the Hartford collection of the Hartford Public Library, the Hariford Courant, and the Hartford Studies Project,

Lewis's wife, Virginia, urged him to contact the Hartford Studies Project. Associate Professor of History Susan Pennybacker and her colleagues were stunned and amazed by what they saw on the film. They immediately recognized the footage as a way to continue, albeit more than three decades later, a community-wide conversation about equality and social justice in Hartford. Additional footage was later located in a California storage facility and in the National Archives in Washington , D.C. "The first Trinity people to see the footage, in the spring of 2000, were our student, Steve Mcfarland, (Associate Professor of Fine Arts] Pablo Delano, (Associate Professor of History] Luis Figueroa, (Professor of Sociology] Steve Valocchi, and I. We were overwhelmed both by the images and by the passion of the testimony," explains Pennybacker. "It brought back graphic memories of my own activities in the Midwest in 1969 as well as my conunitment to social progress, and of the innocence, earnestness, and importance of local activism in the '60s." The Hartford Studies Project was established in 1990 by Trinity faculty members and alumni /ae in an effort to preserve and study Hartford's post-Civil War history. Trinity faculty members involved with the project include Figueroa,

The authenticity of this material makes it part of a set of valuable historical documents, and the testimony and images that we are currentl y taking and filming are equally valuable as commentary on contemporary H artford ." Captured among the dozens of hours of original footage are the city's first Puerto Rican parade and a commun ity meeting during which North End mothers of small children relate instances of police officers firing canisters of tear gas into their homes.

HSP is partnering wi th a number of area organizations on the documentary film project, including All Our C hildren, the Community Renewal Team (CRT), the Hartfo rd Public Library, the NAACP of Greater H artford, Shiloh Baptist C hurch, South Arsenal Neighborhood Development Corporation, Walk in the Light Ministries, La Voz, and Broad-Park Development Corporation, Inc. "We originally got involved with the H artford Studies Project because we were making a short film to celebrate our 40th anniversary," says CRT spokesperson Liz Dupont-Diehl. "CRT was founded in 1963 as part of the War on Poverty, and some of the people who appeared in the original footage have been associated with our programs. The Trinity folks were fantastic about working with us and allowing us to use their archival footage. The H artford Studies Project and Motion, In c. helped us produce our film and we have benefited greatly from our partnership. Essentially, the partnership allowed us to accomplish a lot more than we would have been able to accomplish on our own." Working with Motion, Inc., HSP is acc umulating new footage to complement the old. There have been several public screen ings featuring various portions of the recovered fi lm , including gatherin gs of many of the people who appeared in the original footage as well as their contemporaries, families , and friends. HSP members and Trinity students have then interviewed those who wished to speak on camera. The collected stories, which include those of young and old, black, white, and Latino, as well as community activists and politicians, are helping piece together the thoughts and emotions that played such a vital role in the events of 1969 and the surrounding era.

borhood residents. Included in the footage are black activists, Puerto Rican civic leaders, white politicians, tudents protesting racism in local schools, concerned parents, and the organi zers of a community food cooperative. Many residents of H artford became involved in the film project that summer, and the films were centered around the broad theme of their daily struggles and their hopes and dreams for the future. Pennybacker, who is also the director of the H artford Studies Project, serves as the documentary's producer, while Motion, Inc. President and Visiting Lecturer in Film Studies Glenn Orkin is directing. Figueroa is lending technical expertise ro the project. Pennybacker, Lewis, and their HSP colleagues and partners plan to create from that original footage-along with a host of the more recently conducted interviews-a film that will remain true to the spirit of the Fogo method: it will attempt to find common ground and purpose among communities long separated by race, class, and socioeconomic status. "We have a unique opportuni ty to view the present through authoritative-not unbiased, but very useful-images of the past, to critique the present in light of recent history," she says. "This is for some urban areas a forgotten art form, and irs use here in Hartford is essential for a clear understanding of the paths and choices ahead. We dismiss or forger our history at the city's peril. The Fogo practitioners thought their film could actually reduce conflict. I'm nor sure about that, but [ do think it can help explain why it happened, why it could continue to happen, and help us map out some of the decisions that have been made-so that we, as residents and voters, can make better choices in the future."

It's there that students in her "Government and Politics of Contemporary China" class stage mock protests, fly the colors of the Cultural Revolution, excoriate-or support-the Communist Party, and lobby for the freedom of an imprisoned peasant. Thornton, associate professor of political science, finds iconoclastic ways to bring home the political and social struggles of East Asian cultures. At the beginning of the year, she gives each student a dossier with a full Chinese identity-name, class, and life circumstance. Some are assigned identities as pig thieves; others are powerful autocrats or members of the bourgeoisie. They are given topographical maps of their region, so they can enact land reform policies knowledgably. Thornton gives them daily e-mail updates that announce such manufactured news items as the death of a child, a flooded farm, or a family member's arrest for insurrection. Each student must "stay in character" for the first semester, as a way of truly identifYing with a formerly remote citizenry. Thornton has

Yung Wing was a 19th-century scholar and missionary who established the first formal educational exchange program for Chinese to study in America. It was called the Chinese Educational Mission (CEM), formed in Hartford in 1872. Through a happy accident, Thornton became instrumental in a television documentary that was recently made on Yung. While on a three-year faculty research grant in Hong Kong some years ago, Thornton met an influential Mainland Chinese journalist named Qian Gang. When she learned of Qian's interest in Yung Wing and his Hartford connection, she offered Trinity's resources to Qian and his colleague, journalist Hu Jingcao. "Trinity's involvement with this project is the result of a stroke of serendipitous good fortune, and I was just oveijoyed that this particular opportunity fell into my lap," Thornton says. "The College was immediately receptive to the idea of our hosting the journalist filmmakers, and the results are an1azing. Film footage for

East Asia, a half-imagined place "Like most young Americans, the students here have a series of remote and exotic images in their minds about East Asian cultures,"Thornton says. " I begin to change that through a multimedia approach. For example, we often listen to Chinese music and watch Japanese films." From there, she moves on to historical manifestos and other written, documented sources "so there is less of a sense of East Asia as a half-imagined place. The idea is to get students to understand in a personal way the complex fabric of the different ways poverty and revolution affect everyday people. The role-playing often raises intense emotions, and through it, the students learn how cycles of violence become self-perpetuating." Thornton appreciates the fairly long leash given her by the College administration, and she is aware that some of her tactics are unorthodox. "I really wanted to be in a liberal arts environment and Trinity is a different kind of liberal arts institution," she says. "I always learn from the students-teaching them gives me a whole new perspective on the implications of the systems I've studied."

McKee: A recurring theme that runs through dus is the strong role of the Hartford Courant. First it had failed to investigate charges of corruption and malfeasance that had been raised by Democratic challenger Bill Curry in the 2002 gubernatorial campaign, and then the paper's editors were embarrassed by their formal endorsement of Rowland for re-election. I think the problem.s with the hot tub and cottage renovations sort of fell into their laps-the governor said he aid for things that, obviously, he hadn't. That kind of dung is pretty easy to check out. There also was the situation with Enron and the oss of 220 n1illion in state money, with Rowland's chief of staff right in the nuddle of it.

valid subpoena, I don't think we would have brought him in. The possibility certainly existed, however, that we would have voted out an article for his failure to comply with the subpoena. I can only speak for myself, but I don't think we could have impeached him for asserting his constitutional rights; there may have been some debate on that but T would have been a "no." McKee: There seems to me to be a difference, a major difference, between what is legal and what is considered ethical. We've had this sort of discussion in some of my classes--separating what is morally or ethically wrong from what is illegal in the eyes of the law. Surely, much of what the governor was accused of doing is ethically que tionable, but the question is whether any of it was actually against the law. By resigning, he effectively ended that debate.

One of the most important things was the decision to make it a bipartisan committee. One of our goals was that if someone walked in off the street and had no idea who the Democrats and Republicans were, they wouldn't be able to tell from the proceedings." concern for me, and I'm not speaking for the other conunittee members, was the condonunium in D.C. I guess the Courant broke it when they started looking at other dungs. The governor owned the condo and rented it, through a straw person, at three times the market rate and then sold it, again through a third party, above market rate. I think that was the most danuling piece of evidence. I thought he nlight resign when that information came out, but, ultimately, it was the subpoena issue-when we won in the State Supreme Court, and he knew that he could be forced to testifY before the conmuttee-I think that was when he knew he was in a box. It wasn't our goal at that point to get hin'l to resign, but that's the way it played out. McKee: I agree that he boxed himself in . He contradicted himself by saying that he wanted the opportunity to tell his side of the story and then refusing to do so when he had the chance. And I think the reason was that his counsel advised him against it. There was a federal investigation going on that is continuing. I assume that Ius counsel made him aware that, willie the conunittee could remove him from office, the feds could put him in prison. I was surprised to learn that if he did testifY and invoked his Fifth Amendment rights, that he could be impeached on those grounds.

Abrams: Had the conmuttee gotten to the point of deliberating, I

think the most spirited debate would have been over the issue of whether the ethical violations rose to the level of impeachment. The governor had a series of them, there is no question-he paid fines on some of them. The ethics code itself says that ethical violations can result in impeachment, but I don't think that any one violation, on its own, would have been enough. The question is whether the pattern of behavior called for impeachment. Where I was, when the clock stopped, was that it probably did not. We had to be very careful. It was crucial that the comnuttee not leave a blueprint for politically unpopular governors to be impeached in the future. One of the most important things was the decision to make it a bipartisan comnuttee. One of our goals was that if someone walked in off the street and had no idea who the Democrats and Republicans were, they wouldn't be able to tell from the proceedings. McKee: The real lesson from all dus, after all the reports in the media and all the expense, is that no matter how popular a politician is, or well entrenched, he or she can be removed. You're not that secure-you may have won a landslide election, but if you screw up-you still have to answer for your actions.

Abrams: We would not have done that.

Part11ership reqr.rires respeciful, twsting and equitable relationships among diverse participar1ts, a supporti11g policy framework, allegiance to democratic principles, and a commitment to sustained stnrggle to overcome challenges. -Mission of the Imtitute for Responsive Education Your best chance of tracking down Karen L. Mapp '77 is by cell phone. Fortunately, she is never far from hers, because a lot of people want to talk to her! If Mapp answers when you call, she might be in her office. But she's just as likely to be dashing through Boston's subway underworld. Or inhaling a speed lunch somewhere. Or about to embark on one of the myriad meetings that occupy much of her life. This is all business as usual because, since September of 2003, she has worn two very large hats. On the one hand, she is president of the Institute for Responsive Education (IRE), the Boston-based organization she joined in 1997. On the other hand, she has served as interim deputy superintendent for family and community engagement for the Boston Public Schools, a slot she will continue to fill until the end of 2004. (Early in 2005, she will begin to scale back these responsibilities a bit as she takes on yet another role, that of faculty member at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.) Either of her current jobs by itself would challenge the capacities of many people. But Karen Mapp is a bear for toil. She eats work for breakfast. Besides, these jobs are wholly related, integrated, each an extension of the other. Indeed, Mapp sees the interim deputy superintendent position as a sort of rite of pas-

productive internal environments for employees." That exploration would engage her for nearly a decade, during which she would learn a lot about the factors that undergird productivity and how to engage people in collective movement toward shared goals and objectives. By 1984, however, she was ready for a career change. Mapp had, by then, completed a master's degree in counselor education from Southern Connecticut State University and was increasingly interested in public education and education policy. So when SNET went through a "downsizing" and Trinity offered her a job as associate director of admissions, she jumped at the opportunity. Her principal assignment, from 1986 until 1992, was recruiting students of color and students from economically challenged conununities. During those six years, she would lay the foundation for her work in Boston, becoming an expert on what it takes to motivate people and what is required to replenish optimism in students who were sometimes unsure if college was a realistic goal for them.

Promoting partnerships At Harvard, Mapp wrapped up her preparation for the challenges that lay ahead, earning a doctorate and master's of education in administration, planning, and social policy. In 1997, the year she joined the IRE, she was awarded a Spencer Dissertation Fellowship for her research on how and why families are involved in their children's educational development. Her article, "Making the Connection between Families and Schools," was published that same year by the Harvard Education Letter. It

"Partnerships are absolutely essential in order to improve public schools. If you can get the community engaged in your efforts to make schools better, then families can carry the baton for real reform. Unfortunately, schools have not been very good at this in the past."

sage-an incomparable opportunity to road-test the ideas she has been pioneering, for a decade now, about how to engage parents and conununities in the improvement of public schools.

Creating healthy environments The career track that would lead Mapp to the jobs she currently juggles did not began in public education. A native of Connecticut, Mapp says, "When I graduated from Trinity I was anxious to find a job, and I was really interested in the corporate sector." She soon landed a job with the Southern New England Telephone Company (SNET), in New Haven, where her family lived until she completed sixth grade. Both her parents had worked at SNET, and she was soon putting her psychology degree to work in the company's human resources department. During the late 1970s, just before the advent of personal computers, and through the mid-1980s, as the computer age bloomed practically overnight, " there was great interest in the office technology of the future," Mapp recalls. "I was deeply involved in the process of discovering how to create healthy and

articulated most of the key ideas on which the IRE's success is founded. "The IRE does scientifically valid research on conununity challenges, as well as training and consulting," Mapp says. "We determine what works in communities and families-especially in urban neighborhoods where progress can be stymied by poverty, drugs, and crime-and translate what we learn into effective programs and ideas that can be disseminated nationwide." Founded more than 30 years ago, the IRE is conunitted to collaboration. "Partnership" is the first word in its mission statement and, says Mapp, "It is my primary agenda. Partnerships are absolutely essential in order to improve public schools. If you can get the conununity engaged in your efforts to make schools better, then families can carry the baton for real reform. Unfortunately, schools have not been very good at this in the past." So, Mapp decided to bring her energy and expertise to bear on the problem, and joined the ranks of others who have been working on this issue. Her initial role at IRE was as project

director for the Boston Community Partners for Student Success initiative. The focus of that effort was the development of activities and programs to familiarize parents with Boston's new Citywide Learning Standards. She proved to be so adept that by 1998 she had been named president of IRE and by 2001 she was co-chair of a task force exploring w hat parents need and want from Boston's 139 public schools and how to quickly address those parental concerns on behalf of the district's nearly 70,000 students. Among the rec01nmendations of the task force was that the schools needed a high- level official, someone at the deputy level, who could ensure that schools adop t and maintain creative policies to get families involved and keep them involved. Eventually, it became clear that M app would be a good choice to fill that slot, and she agreed to take th e position for a limited time. "To have a deputy superintendent for families and the community is unusual in an urban school district," says Thomas Payzant, Ph.D., superintendent of Boston schools, "but it makes great sense. Families and ed ucators must be partners if ed ucation w ill be effective. It's essential to have leadersh ip first, to demonstrate real commitment to the conmmnjty for tills bnd of partnership. Karen brings the ideal package of education and experience to this challenging assignment."

In just a year on the job, Mapp quickly demonstrated that expertise gleaned from her diverse career is paying off. To address the fact that schools have often been ineffectual at developing commun ity and famjly partnerships, for example, she launched a program to train "ambassadors," school representatives who reach out to the communities. She also began meeting w ith and counseling prin cipals, teaching them how to effectively connect with the comm uniti es and cement th ei r relationships. This year, und er her guidance, a new manual for parents, advising them on how to become more proactive on behalf of their children, will be published.

And even in a world like hers, where one can never work hard and fast enough, rea l change takes time.

wohr1a Isaac Goldstein 'o 5 SGA president studies politics close up BY CHRISTINE PALM

Making the cover of a large regional weekly is a big deal to any public figure, but when you're a 22-year-old college senior, it's huge. Nevertheless, Trinity senior Isaac Goldstein takes it pretty much in stride, and when San Diego's City Beat magazine featured him and his fellow grassroots political campaigners on its front page, Goldstein deflected the praise. ''I'm glad of the coverage because it shines the spotlight on our cause," he says matter-of-factly. His cause is the candidacy of Senator John Kerry in the upcoming presidential election. Goldstein, who is majoring in American studies with a minor in writing and rhetoric, spent the summer in San Diego as head of field campaigning for the Democratic National Committee. Goldstein is one of five directors supervising the 40 canvassers in the door-to-door fundraising operation. "The pace has been totally wacky," Goldstein says of the campaign headquarters "war room" over the surnn1er. "The goal is to raise $250,000 in San Diego, and so we work pretty much around the clock. Corning from the East Coast, I got my first sight of the Pacific Ocean three weeks ago, but haven't really had much chance to swim in it."

Politics at the dinner table Originally from Amherst, Massachusetts, Goldstein comes from a long line of pacifists and peace activists. His mother is an ordained United Church of Christ minister, and he describes his father as "a lay Jew who attends both church and synagogue." He readily admits his political activist streak came from them. "My parents were always devoted to liberal causes: anti-nuke, community organizing, Amnesty International," Goldstein recalls. "Politics has always been dinner table conversation, so naturally it's in my blood. My mixed religious upbringing has been a catalyst-! feel I've gotten the best of both traditions. Basically, this means I have a perspective that's different from many other people on what it means to be a religious person. That kind of spirituality has made me more civic-minded."

It's also made him more determined to use his brains and energy to change things he sees as wrong. ''I'm mindful that, as a white male, I'm not an outsider; still, I do identify with people who are marginalized." One could say that includes political minorities, as well. Goldstein worked for the Green Party in Paris during his sophomore semester abroad. He wrote daily media reports for the group after digesting news "that was germane--issues that were important for the Green Party, like genetically modified foods, for example." These days, Goldstein sees this presidential election as being central to the issues of"outsiders." "This San Diego organizingjob is stressful and it's a lot of responsibility, but I really want to be on the front lines. There are lots of routes to do that, and this is a good way to combine my thirst for an adventure with this campaign. I couldn't have lived with myself if I had gone through the summer without trymg." When not trying to raise money for the Democrats, Goldstein is hard at work on the Trinity campus putting his beliefs into practice. He volunteers with several environmentally oriented programs, including one that encourages campus-wide recycling. And this fall he is working as a mentor in the Praxis program, a residen-

tially based community-service program. Under the tutelage of Professor Fred Pfeil, Goldstein will help incoming students acclimate to the program, which includes such community-based activities as baking pies for the homeless as well as supporting the Hartford chapter of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), the nation's largest community organization oflowand moderate-income families. "Praxis is a great program, and I am conducting some really interesting research into the effects of global capitalism in its many forms," says Goldstein. "Praxis has never done a first-year program before and I'm really excited about that." If Goldstein's home life instilled in him his activist values, it was through Praxis, and especially the mentorship of alumnus Ben Davis '02, that he honed them. "Ben took me to my first WTO protest in New York," Goldstein says, speaking of the World Trade Organization rally as an initiation, as another student might talk of a fondly remembered first rock concert. While Goldstein admits he likes a good time as much as anyone his age, he sees no real point in pursuing fun wiiliout something meaningful behind it. "To be honest, I don't surround myself with people who don't care about changing the world," he says. "Politics doesn't

necessarily affect yo ung people at the core--you don't really understand how taxes work, for example, unless you're forced to pay them. But since I've been canvassing, I've met a lot of people who hadn't cared about these sorts of issues until Governor Schwarzenegger raised school tuition." For Goldstein, who was nominated for the prestigious Jack Kent Cooke Scholarship for civic-mindedness and will serve as president of the student government this academic year, there is cause to be optimistic. "This election is doing so much for our generation's political activism," he says. "I credit Howard Dean with much of that. And now that the draft is not out of the question, people my age are consistently more and more worried about it. Dean capitalized on something young people were already feeling. Really interesting things are happening with young people and politics."

Learning Arabic Again, his own multifaceted heritage comes into play; he is learning to speak Arabic. "One of my professors, Ray Baker, said that as students, we're preparing ourselves to be in the right position to act. Take the

Middle East, for instance. I believe I have an obligation to learn the language because we, as An1ericans, have such influence there. I think any responsible citizen would consider doing iliat. Plus, I happen to love languages and thought it was time to learn another." (He already speaks French fluently.) Goldstein's activism carries into nearly every aspect of his life. When he wanted to play a serious sport that didn't require varsity-level skills, he helped form an Ultimate Frisbee team in his first year at Trinity. Not surprisingly, he was captain that first year. "Well , it was no big deal ," he says with characteristic evenness. "My high school team placed third nationally in a competition, so it was a natural step for me." What's the next step? "I'd love to do some advanced study," he says. "Basically, I love school. I can see myself gettin g a doctorate in political science. I'm pretty sure I want to be in politics because I am something of a firebrand. I'm a 'West Wing' fanatic-I love the characters; they're brilliant, move quickly, and accomplish great things."

Trinity's new Community Sports Complex is a winner for Bantam ice hockey and for the city of Hartford. BY JIM 1-1. SMITI-I

Trinity College is about to undertake construction of a "bridge." It won't cross a river or a anyon. And it won't feature many arches or suspension cables. But as a novel way to strengthen the relationship between Trinity and the surrounding communitya task the College began grappling with in earnest during the 1990s-it may be the most effective viaduct yet constructed. A collaboration between Trinity and the Southside Institutions Neighborhood Alliance (SINA), the "bridge" is the Community Sports Complex at Trinity College. When the 50,000+-square-foot building debuts in the autumn of2006, it will dramatically upgrade Trinity's sports and athletics facilities. It wiJJ also be a very highprofile cornerstone of SINA's nationaJJy acclaimed $275-million Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative, the effort that helped bring about the Learning Corridor. Designed as an extension of that model educational facility, the Community Sports Complex will make Trinity the only New England SmaJJ College Athleti c Conference (NESCAC) school to provide such programming for at-risk children, and one of the first urban community athletic facilities known of in the nation to connect neighborhood families with the resources of a liberal arts college.

The new sports complex will be open year-round and will feature the only skating rink in Hartford other than the Civic Center. During the winter months, the 90 x 200-foot NHL standard ice sheet will serve as home ice for Trinity's men's and women's hockey teams, which have never had their own rink. Currently, Trinity leases ice time each year from West Hartford's Kingswood-Oxford School. Consequently, the teams are often obliged to practice at inconvenient times . The complex will be much more than simply a new athletic facility for Trinity, however. Unlike the Civic Center ice, Trinity's new rink will be open for public skating during hours when it is not used by the College teams for practice and competition. Additionally, since the complex will have seating for more than 1,1 00, the concrete floor beneath the ice can be used during spring, summer, and autumn for athletic and cultural events. The complex will also have public lockers, a fitness center, a rock climbing wall, three community rooms, and much more, dramatically expanding safe recreational space for Hartford children and families.

Five wives and one significant other kept us presentable. As usual, the Trinity staff treated us very well with excellent food and beverages at the Half-Century dinner, the Clambake, the Class dinner, and wherever we turned. In addition, the weather was perfect for June in Connecticut. We look forward to the next Reunion (no kidding!) and hope that even more will come and take pride in the changes at our Trinity. A letter with an update arrived from Ralph Shelly '40. He notes that he retired in 1982 after 36 years with Eastman Chemical Products. His work in marketing took him to New York City, Cincinnati, Kingsport, Atlanta, and Tennessee. In May 2004, he and his wife, Doris, moved from Tennessee to a retirement home in Roswell, GA. Their two sons and their families live in Atlanta. Ralph and Doris are very happy to be near them, as well as old Atlanta friends. In closing, Ralph says, "We will see what possibilities are for our 65th Reunion in 2005."

So far (712 1) two active alumni have responded. Al Hopkins of Med usa and football fame continues to be involved in the real estate business. His wife, Jean, died three years ago, and he fmds life somewhat empty until the void fills. He is naturally very proud that his two sons are Trinity grads. Bud Tibbals reports that he and his wife have moved into a retirement condo where several couples who are friends also Jive, so they have a satisfying social life. Are swimming and tennis included in that? For myself, my wife and I still live in our home, which is laid out in condo fashion. Our children, two daughters and a son, recently visited us and decided we were still able to care for ourselves. More letters from others will still be welcome.

I Fall 2004

If you recall, the speaker for the Commencement of the Class of 1941 was General George C. Marshall (for many of us, our future employer). The speaker for the 2004 Commencement was Dr. Ruth. l can imagine hundreds of former classics majors muttering, "0 tempera, o mores," or, in the words of a latter day classicist (S.J. Perelman), "De gustibus ain't what dey used to be." Ed Smith died. Even when he was fighting his losing battle with cancer, he and Helen were faithful attendants at our Class get-togethers. He will be greatly missed. My wife received a condolence card from Charley Johnson '42 . He had received word from a misguided informant that I had passed on. I was happy to be in a position to deny it. I was, however, touched by the kind words in his note. As I told him, it was like being able to enjoy the eulogy at my funeral .

Alumni Fund Goal: $10,000 Class Secretary: Joseph J. Bonsignore, 91 OS Santayana Dr. , Fairfax, VA 22031-3026 e-mail: joseph.bonsignore.1942@trincoll.edu These are sad times for the Class of'42.You will note that deaths of seven of our classmates have been reported within the last few months, and I fear that a half dozen more have died that we haven't heard about. Most recently, we learned of the death of Herb Fisher. That Herb felt deeply about Trinity is attested to by the munificent bequest he made to Trinity. Coincidentally, I had just talked about him during a long and pleasant conversation with Jac Cushman-Herb's tennis mate along with Bill Cleveland, Max Hagedorn , and others. Jac told me that he played tennis until a few years ago when a triple by-pass operation curtailed his activities. Jac, like many others of us, is downsizing, but since his new quarters are eight rooms, he'll hardly be cramped for space. Widowed, he has remarried. He is an active volunteer in conununity projects, among which is a lay chaplaincy in a local hospital. Naturally, he follows the fortunes ofTrinity's current great squash team, recalling how he himself played a Yale opponent. He goes to San Antonio winters, and I suggested he look up Mike Zaccaria there, where Mike has gentrified a theater in San Antonio's nationally famous central city. Ralph Calaceto wrote to me comforting me about my wife's passing, as did John Bond . The Rev. Gus Peterson telephoned me to express his condolences. Ralph and l have the distinction, which some people would denigrate, of having been born in Brooklyn. Ralph stayed there, though, and perhaps should be sainted for having taught in Brooklyn schools his whole working career. Gus is still doing good works through his ministry in the Holyoke, MA, area, and John is burning up the U.S. mails in support of internationalism and the U.N. Bravo, John! Talked with Wally Anderson , who was my math mentor during my freshman year. Wally became an eminent diagnostic neurologist in the Hartford area. Wally was a member of the scintillating cast of doctors from our Class: duPrey, Orfitelli, Earle, Jehl, Hagedorn, Stoughton,

White, Carey and Barnaby (and I've probably forgotten some). Spoke with John Carey, junior Phi Beta Kappa, outstanding golfer ... practiced thoracic surgery in Oklahoma, retired more than 17 years ago, but, still thirsting for knowledge, went on to get further degrees, taught in Korea ... When I asked him about golf, he told me he's still shooting better than his age. Had a three-way conversation with Charley Johnson in South Carolina and Jack Swift in Maine. Charley reminded me of Jack's extensive hereditary connection with Trinity: grandchildren who have gone to Trinity, whose parents both went to Trinity. All told, Jack has five grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. Jack is an ardent civic activist in the small coastal town of Georgetown where his family has lived since the 1870s. Jack returned to Georgetown after an extensive world-wide career that stretched from Washington, DC, to Pakistan. Charley is not rusting away in South Carolina-he feeds me articles from 17te ew York Times supporting political views we both share. Lest we forget, Charley is our Class president and retired champion Class agent, a post now vacant, last occupied by Jack Barber and Jack Swift.

James, age 97, a former executive ofTime Inc. He was also founding chief editor and publisher of Sports fllustrated magazine. The obituary reads as follows: "The late Sports fllustrated and Los Angeles Times sports writer Jim Murray recalled Mr. James arriving for work and methodically asking each of the new employees, 'Do you believe in this magazine?' 'He was the most indefatigably optimistic editor I've ever met,' Murray once wrote. 'Whenever one of us would show up for work that fateful summer of '53, shaken and uncertain, reeling from overnight votes of no confidence from our own colleagues, James would remind us that they call ed the invention of the steambo at Fulton's Folly.' Mr. James was known for promoting dean vibrant writing that took a news editor's approach to athletics. 'You don't have to know a hell of a lot about sports, actually, to go out and see a scene and write about it,' he told a reporter in 1998. 'It doesn't make any difference if you know that Homer Bones batted .202 last year. You can always find that."' Mush Guillet was recently in the hospital for some work on his coronary arteries, all of which worked out just fme. Mush is home again. Back on the golf course. Feeling fit as a fiddle and is ready for action. Your Secretary was inducted into the Hartford Public High School Sports Hall of Fame on Nov. 9, 2003.Among other Trinity Alumni Hall of Fame members is our classmate, also of blessed memory, Dave Tyler. As a senior at Hartford High, Dave established national interscholastic records in all freestyle swimming events from 50 meters to 1,500 meters, and was the best secondary school freestyle swimn1er in the United States of America. We were both coached at Hartford High by the redoubtable Larry Amann, considered at the time one of the best swimming and track coaches in the nation, including secondary schools and/ or colleges. But for the cancellation of the 1940 Olympics due to

World War II , it is likely Dave Tyler would have brought home a gold medal to Hartford, CT. All classmates are encouraged to communicate by letter, fax, or e-mail to Your Secretary items of interest concerning yourselves and your families in order that he be provided from time to rime with material that is always of great interest to your classmates.

In between, perfect weather and a program that was a fine combination of memories of the times, faculty, classmates, and the college of our youth. There were, as well, opportunities to learn about Trinity since we were dispersed by WW2 onto many paths, not all of which returned us to the College. Back for all or part of the four-day Reunion: George Baxter and Jean Twichell (widow of Hank Twichell), Frank Borden, Roger and Lola Conant, Bill Fay, Walter Ghent and Mim Nichols, Dick Haskell, Jarvis and Nancy Harriman, " Moo" and Ellen Johnquest, Bill and Jean Peelle, Paul Sessa, Mark and Harriet Tenney, Bob Toland, Pete Torrey, and me. Bob ("RT") Toland gave up the presidency of T' 44 during the Reunion, and Mark Tenney was elected to succession. Unquestionably, "RT," persistent and enthusiastic, organized T'44, both before and afrer his election as Class president, into a small alumni body that has stayed interested in the College and generous in support of it. Mark will capably fill his shoes, and "RT," elected Class treasurer, will be ready to assist him. By the time these notes are published, all members of the Class will have received a mailing from "RT,"" which will include a tribute to Trinity's distinguished and just retired president, Borden Painter '58, and Lew Dabney's summary of the results of the questionnaire sent to the Class several weeks before Reunion. Although the Class of 1944 has many virtues, one of them is not a penchant for latter-day autobiography. The Class secretary's schedule is not, therefore, over-burdened with the preparation of "Class Notes." However, should the spirit move or habits change, I am happy to have mail at 21 Grieg Rd., Westerly, RI, 02891, e-mail as above or at smithtaj@msn.com, and phone calls at 401-322-1275. Reunion Poll Finds Trinity '44 "Great" Leaning Toward Bush This Fall by Lewis S. Dabney '44: Trinity College's "war" class of 1944, polled in June at its 60th Reunion , voted two-to-one for George W Bush in 2000 and 59 TRINITY REPORTER

I Fall 2004

percent of the Reunion classmates were "leaning toward Bush" for this fall's election when the poll was taken. By the time the poll was taken, Senator John Kerry was the "presumptive" Democratic candidate. Fewer than 30 percent answered the questionnaire. Of those who claim to have voted for Bush , 86 percent said they would vote for him agai n given the chance, whereas 100 percent of those who voted for Gore would vote the same way. The Class of '44, now in their 80s and members of w hat NBC newsman Tom Brokaw labeled " the greatest generation" because of th eir sacrifices in World War II , matriculated 172 freshmen in O ctober 1940, 1-l months before Pearl Harbor. Their numbers have now dwindled to 71. Five paid the ultima te sacrifice in the conflict. Half the class declared themselves feeling "great," the other half" fair to middJin"' with one claiming he was not so good. Of those answering the question, 30 percent named " health" as th eir chief worry, with loss of mobility second, memory loss and losing family and fi·iends third . Stressed were "strong families" and good health as th eir chief assets. Asked if they "missed being 50," 60 percent said yes. One "no" respondent said "only when it comes to sex." Another, "Oh, to be 70 again" and a third, " 1 can no longer get from first to third on a single to right." Financially, a solid 74 percent said they were "well off," a handful "just getting by," and only one "not making it." On the political front, 67 percent of the respondents voted for George W. Bush in 2000, twice the nun1.ber who voted for Al Gore. Eighty-five percent would repeat that vote given the chance, which, broken down by candidate, shows 63 percent would repeat their Bush vote, 37 would repeat for Gore. Asked how they "lean" for the fall elections, 55 percent lean toward Bush , 40 toward Kerry with five percent checking "no vote." One grad commented, "I don't understand how anyone with grandchildren co uld vote for the present administra-

college in 194G--not all of them graduated-the others naming Harvard, Annapolis, and the University ofVirginia as fmt choices. All respondents described their experience at Trinity "rewarding," six hyping that to "very." All wou ld recommend the College to their grandchildren. All but two favored Trinity's acceptance of women in1969. One felt there should be some all male colleges to match Smith and Mt. Holyoke for women, and another said he had "mixed feelings" with no explanation. The pollsters asked how regularly the Class supported the College's Annual Fund drive. A whopping 83 percent claimed they did "regularly," and one said he stopped when "the students took over the College offices in the '60s." One cheerful 88-year-old signed off and added-"See you in 2009." (Note: Percentages do not always add up to 100 because of multiple check-offS and incomplete answers.) Lew Dabney graduated in 1947 and is a retired Boston advertising/ publishing executive. H e flew 70 fighter-bomber missions in Europe in World War II.

The World War ll vets were th en asked how they ranked the most obvious "burning" issues for this £1ll's plebiscite. The war in Irag topped the rankings, combining ftrst and second spots with the economy a close second. Terrorism scraped by in third place, with "jobs" next. The environment drew surprisingly few in first or second slots, but did attract comments such as "should be way up there, but isn't." Gun control, despite 30,000 annual deaths domestically from guns, and birth control, despite universal worries about "overpopulation," ranked at the bottom as key issues. Said one: "[Birth control] ... is the real issue in the long run . No matter what yo ur cause is, it's a lost cause if we don 't control population." Several wrote in their despair with the deterioration of moral standards in business, politics, and government and respect for our freedoms " that l spent four years in the military to preserve." Pollsters next turn ed th eir attention to the media and learned that T'44 gets most of its news from newspapers, with TV ranked second . A scattering claimed th eir best sources as the Internet an d magazines. Liberal bias in the press won 47 percent of th e Class, with right-leaning claiming 18, but 35 percent regard the press as "balanced." One called the question "too ge neral." A substantial number, 65 percent, find the media lacking " the same confidence [you had] as an undergraduate," blaming creeping corporate ownership, especjally ofTV and poor diligence in training reporters. "Sensational news trumps more important news," wrote one. Named as favorites were the Sunday Ne111 York Ti111es, Th e Nation , The Ne111 Yorker, and TV's "60 Minutes."

We all had lunch together in the renovated section of the city. We had a very good meal near Tom 's office. I was impressed with the number of people who sS

greeted him as we had lunch and as we walked in the neighborhood. He says he is retired, but I guess he still goes to the office once in a while. Maybe he should run for mayor? Mter I arrived in Chatham, Al Moses suggested a fanlliy boat trip to see the seals off the Chatham shore. I wanted to help him with his lobster pots. We saw each other a couple of times, but I was never quite able to arrange one or the other plan while daughters, grandchildren, and friends of children were with us. The place was a zoo. During this time, I went to pick up one of my daughter's friends at the Barnstable bus stop and discovered Gene Binda as he was heading to Boston for a doctor's appointment. He was having his shoulder checked. I said he had to slow down on the baseball, and he said that he had to get back to his golf game. It was a surprise benefit of the trip. Towards the end of our stay, I had a chance to call Phyllis Mason and chat with her as we overlooked the water from the back of her house. She is 90 and not slowing down a bit.We discussed Trinity, her husband, John, and Trinity students of the '50s. I also wanted Jake Brown's phone number and knew Phyllis could give that to me. Almost before I could say anything, Jake was arranging a golf date. It was great to talk with him, and I promised if we have the good fortune to be back in Chathan1 next year, we will get together. On a sad note, I received the obituary of Gerald Whitmarsh . Gerald died in May. He was an active psychologist in the Towson, MD, area for over 30 years. As secretary of the Class of 1953, I want to take this opportunity to give a very warm welcome to the 21st president ofTrinity College, Dr. James F.Jones,Jr. Do we tend to remember classmates who were a year or more ahead of us or after us? I certainly remember Bill Goralski '52 and a lot of his tean1111ates. Should the College encourage reunions that include classes a year ahead and/ or behind?

Gerald Dyar; Alfred M.C. MacColl The 50th Reunion was a resounding triumph, carefully planned and professionally executed. Special credit goes to John Bloodgood and Al Smith , along with an active committee. Our Class set a record for number of graduates attending, which is probably a tribute to both our loyalty and the advances in the healing arts. There were 70 Class members attending, each with some interesting stories to tell. Even the weather cooperated to make it a memorable weekend. There were many highlights, not the least of which was the Class dinner in Hamlin Hall, which caused one classmate to observe that the group had to wait 54 years to get a decent meal in that stately venue. It also provided an opportunity for Ray Moylan to unexpectedly leap to his feet and, with no an1plification, demonstrate that he can sing even better now than when he was a soloist for the Pipes. Our crowd was augmented by the attendance of Mark Godfrey, the 41-year-old son of classmate Bill Godfrey who died in a plane crash in 1974. Mark and a brother survived the crash, but both his parents were killed. Mark wrote to the Reunion chairmen and asked whether he could attend and have the chance to meet some of his father's friends and learn about his father. We were glad to welcome him. Sandy

Campbell, Charlie Bowen, and other old friends of Bill's from St. Anthony Hall were especially helpful to Mark. With reunions, you really have to be there, because something can easily be lost in the retelling, and what seemed like memorable moments may not sound so memorable. If you missed this event, call a friend who was there and get a ftrst-hand account. These new officers were elected for a five-year term:AJ Smith, president, Ron Storms, vice president, and Dick Hirsch , Class secretary. fu the frrst official act of his new administration, AI has announced a Class of '54 football party at the Middlebury game on Oct. 30. Arrangements will be made for lunch and tickets. Interested? Contact AI at 410-226-5794, or by e-mail at asmith@bluecrab.org. In other news, Reunion attendee Lt. Col. Dick Pearson , USAF, Ret., wrote to report he attended the lift-off of the fust private venture into space in late June by personal invitation of the pilot. It was a historic event. Just before traveling to the Reunion, Jim Leigh and his wife, Florence, spent two weeks in Russia, visiting Moscow and St. Petersburg as part of a mission for Youth With a Mission. Earlier in the year, they participated in two similar missions in France. Ron Peppe reported from Frederick, MD, where he continues to be active in commercial and industrial real estate appraisal work for the State of Maryland after his retirement from the federal government. John Craig , retired editor of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, is continuing to write an opinion colunm for the paper and is engaged in other community activities. Gordon West never strays too far from salt water, spending the summer on Long Beach Island, NJ, and the winters in the Florida keys. Speaking of water, Grant "Tommy" Thomas, is probably the oldest counselor for Outward Bound. For nearly 12 years, since his retirement, he has been leading a variety of corporate executives and others seeking adventure on sailing expeditions where the accommodations are spartan and the challenges can be daunting. He loves his work and looks like he is ready to shinny up the main mast if necessary. Meanwhile, in rural Virginia, Bill Dobrovir has become a country squire. He still handles some occasional legal appeals, but spends more time in the barn with his wife, Mary, and their five horses. Another of our attorney classmates, David Floyd of East Aurora, NY, is now able to spend more time building houses for Habitat for Humanity. Why? Because he completed his term as our Class secretary, a term that was characterized by accurate reporting. His last official act was to convince me to try the job. As I've mentioned to a few people, a reporter is only as good as his sources, so I'm relying on you all to become "reliable sources" and send me news of your latest adventures or misadventures. This e-mail address is the favored method: bflotales@aol.com; the College address may be used also. Be good to yourselves.

REUNION 2005

JUNE

9 -

During these past summer months, Your Class Secretary has particularly enjoyed keeping in touch with classmates on their latest news, but also discussing and planning for our 50th Reunion, scheduled for th e weekend of)une 10-12,2005. I talked with Don Mountford, who has volunteered to be the author of the Class history. His job is to coordinate the publishing of the over 200-page book that will give us all a full appreciation of what has transpired for each of us over the past 50 years. Bruce Whitman suggested the book be completed and in our classmates' hands prior to that weekend so we can review the details prior to the event. Good suggestion! Bruce is one of the few remaining classmates fully active within the corporate world, compared to most who are working on their golf game or baby-sitting grandchildren . I have had the opportunity to visit Dave Roberts on two occasions and his concentration this past hot and wet summer was cutting grassthree acres of it! But Dave is a workhorse and seems to enjoy the physical challenge. A phone call to Terry Ford confirms he will be with us attending the Reunion, traveling from his home country, Panama. His story of being a primary backer of the arts for the people of Panama will be one of many examples of fascinating tales that will be told next June. I found that Igor Islamoff has already gotten into the spirit of reunions, having attended the Class of '54 shindig this past spring. He was particularly close to his fraternity brothers one class ahead of us, so chose to celebrate with them. It will be good to see Igor after too many years and to hope to meet his wife, Debra, if she is able to break away from a busy professional life in health care. I made contact with Charlie Eberle who plans to attend with his wife, Eugenia, who was a friend of mine, at age 10, long before Charlie met her. So it will be a double reunion for me with the Eberles there. Would you believe Lance Vars and his wife, Beverly, have just fmished building a large new home on 18 acres, complete with barn , stables, and pasture for a half dozen horses? But for good reason. Bev and at least one daughter continue to compete, teach , and judge in regional horse shows. I had a good phone visit with George Kramer who will be with us next June. He continues his life's work as an accomplished sculptor, having success in getting his work included in shows and galleries. I have named, in earlier C lass notes, the initial Reunion committee headed by Bob Shay. The group has been expanded to include Ed Yeomans, Gordon Maitland, Bob Miller, John Newlin, Bob Laird, Peter Nash, and Sandy Burbank. It is great to see so many put forth the time and effort to make our Reunion such a great weekend and real celebration . I look forward to talking with more of you over the next few months.

The Very Rev. Durstan McDonald '58 received an honorary doctoral degree from the Episcopal Seminary of the Southwest at its spring 2004 commencement. The citation that accompanied McDonald's degree, read, in part, "Gifted teacher, inveterate reader, and transplanted son of Texas, you foste red the growth of t he Seminary of the Southwest from its regional roots to a vital church-wide presence duri ng your eighteen years of leadership. "Your accomplishments as Dean and President are many, as you ensured the vitality of theological education at ETSS. You twice guided signifi cant enhancement of the Master of Divinity curriculum . Yo u opened up t heological education for working lay people by creating the innovative, faith-based Maste r of Pasto ral Ministry degree program.

In the interim, news from classmates and Reunion follows. Curt Case has lived in Barkhamsted, CT, for 38 years. He retired after 30 years with IBM and then served four terms as probate judge (an elected position) in Barkhamsted. He continues this work on a once-aweek basis. He and Phyllis have three sons and four grandc hildren and vacation each summer on the Cape. Bill Abeles, enroute to Hartford for Reunion with Yours Truly, visited Winsted, CT, to pay last respects to his "Big Brother," Geo rge Case (Trin Class of '57 and elder brother of Curt). George was an avid baseball player and fan his entire life and played minor league (AA) baseball in the Giants farm system. He passed away from melanoma in 1996. Our deepest sympathy to Geo rge Backman w ho recently lost both his wife and daughter. Leonard Baski n is still working at First Atlantic Federal Credit Union in West Long Beach, NJ.

Charlie Beristai n, now weighing in at a lean 178 lbs., is a world-class, off-road, competitive biker, who recently won the prestigious Mount Snow race by 16 minutes over the nearest competitor. When I asked Charlie if he had suffered any injuries, he responded that he had broken several ribs in various falls, but nothing serio us (??). Bob Brian is retired and still living in West Hartford. Our sincerest apprecia tion once again to Bob Coykendall and Bob Pizzella, who do the heavy lifting as our rwo C lass fund raisers. Thanks, again, to them both for their hard work and, as demonstrated at Reunion, their kind hospitality and campus tours. If you haven't been to Trinity lately, you will need a guid e once you are off the Long Walk. Tiny Crowell remains his svel te self, still plays the bagpipes, and travels regularly in his new, luxury, mature-size, mobile home suite. Arne Englehart arrived at Reunion from Fairlawn, OH, with his wife, Sandra , and daughter. He keeps busy collecting rents from his multiple properties in Akron, OH.

Greene, Executive Director of the Sino-American Aviation Heritage Foundation.

In a compound that once served as the headquarters of General Claire Chennault's Fourteenth Air Force (the Flying Tigers), a stone roller used to construct airfield runways during the Second World War was presented to representatives of the United States Air Force Museum.

Retired Air Force Brigadier General Jon A. Reynolds ' 59 , a highly decorated Air Force veteran of the Vietnam War and former defense attache to the People's Republic of China, accepted the roller on behalf of the museum. When the roller (American Embassy photo by Deng Yi) joins other exhibits at the museum-which is located at Wright-Paterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio-Reynolds said it will "commemorate the Chinese effort in the war against Japan and symbolize the cooperation between Chinese and Americans during the war." American Embassy official Donald M. Bishop ' 6 7, another Air Force Vietnam veteran who once taught military history at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, saluted the seven oldest Chinese attendees at the ceremony-all now in their 70s and 80s. The airfield construction workers were "participants and witnesses. They helped build the airfields. They saw the aircraft take off and return from battle. They saw the crashes and the Losses. They recall the Japanese attacks." To Chinese students at the ceremony, Bishop said the airfield workers "are passing on to you a great Legacy." The roller-used to construct runways in Kunming used by the Flying Tigers, the 14th Air Force, and the transport aircraft flying the dangerous Hump Route from India to China-is made of solid stone. It is 59 inches Long and 47 inches in diameter with an estimated weight of 11,000 pounds.

Doug Frost looks fit after by-pass surgery a couple of years ago. He helped energize our Class gift effort, which ultimately topped out at 59K. Walt Graham, now retired from Srnith-Kline-Beecham, brought Lorna to Reunion to fill out a foursome with Shep Scheinberg and Ken Lessall. Ken lives in Palm Beach, and Shep is in Naples, FL. You may have seen Shep on TV earlier this summer as he marshaled the first tee at the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club. Class President George Graham and wife, Sally, politicked for re-election at our Reunion by providing liquid refreshments at the hospitality suite. Good job, George; we will count on you for '09. Thanks also to George and Sally for hosting Ernilee and me at their home in Vero Beach last spring with a cast from Vernon Street that included the Prices, Truscotts, Mannions, and Scullys ('61) .Jim Price at Reunion did what he does best, entertaining attendees long into the night with stories of days gone past. Karl Scheibe came to Reunion all the way from Middletown where he is (still) a professor in Wesleyan's psychology department. Alan Tubman has moved to Raleigh, NC, to be closer to his children. His wife, Betsy, passed away several years ago from M .S.-our belated sympathies, Tubs. Charley Nichols is still in Newport, RI, w here he has an antiques collection and trading company.

TRINITY REPO ilTER

I Fall 2004

Just after the copy closing for the last issue of The Reporter, I received a note from Ernie Haddad . In his first paragraph , he shows his family's Blue and Gold colors brilliantly. I like what he said, so I quote him. "My son, Scott, whose wife is now expecting their first child, was in the Trinity class of 1990. My son, Mark, who has two sons of his own, was in the Trinity class of 1991 . And my 13-year-old son Barton, who is at BB&N and is a hockey goalie, will probably be a candidate for admission to the Trinity class of 2013." Ern(ie) is not slowing down very much, it seems. In April 2002, he rejoined the faculty of Boston University School of Law where he serves as Professor of Law and Associate Dean for Graduate Programs. He has responsibility for the School of Law's Graduate Tax Program, the Morin Center for Banking and Financial Law, and the Office of Foreign Programs. Many of you will remember from these notes that Ern has been affiliated with T he Massachusetts General Hospital in a variety of capacities, most notably as secretary and general counsel for many years . His wife, Kathleen Tracy, is also active in medical care management, currently serving as director of clinical operations and chief of nursing at Harvard University Health Services. One of my closest friends from the Class of '60 is Ed Cimilluca. My wife, Barbara, and I caught up with Ed and Carol in mid June for a little mid-week get-together at a southwestern-style pub in Chatham, NJ. I keep urging him to join the Seven Sarurdays a Week Club, but so far without success. Ed continues to have a great time running the show at lNG Investment Management in Gotham. Ed and Carol are lucky to have Courtney '90 and Dana '92 living close by. Courtney, hubby Bart, and four very wonderful boys live in Smrunit, while Dana is in New York, working as a financial and business journalist for Bloomberg News. As you watch or listen to Bloomberg, you will often hear Dana give you some stock tips. He is on frequently, and you, of course, should heed his advice. A Bant who is very good at communicating with this old scribe is Bobby, number 35, Bagger to some, Johnson. At a gathering recently at Trinity honoring this past year's undefeated team were a bunch of our former football elite. From that gathering came a great story about the Trinity football team of'59 that, some of you may recall, was robbed of an undefeated season when the clock ran out on the Tufts one-yard line following a 90-yard march to (almost) glory in the waning minutes of the tilt. On that team from the Class of '60, were Bobby, Roger LeClerc, and Dave Golas. Roger, according to Bobby, insists that the clock still read six seconds to go when the ref blew the whistle ending the game. Back then, the ref kept the official time, and the field clock was not the official arbiter of the time. We think the ref had been reached! Anyway, these guys were over the hurt, but the story was still fresh to tell and got their juices going. At the gathering were others you will remember: Doug Tansill, Tony Sanders, Dale Peatman (all '61), and Ian Bennett, Jim Whitters, and Bill Polk (all '62).The evening, needless to say, was an enormous success, highlighted by old game fwns and adult beverages. A couple of these old birds actually thought they should suit up and toss the pig a little. Hmrnmmm! Roger Leclerc is mentioned in an article in the Hariford CouratÂˇtt's April 25 edition. It describes the publicity surrounding the NFL draft today and the difference, 45 years ago, when Roger was selected by the

Chicago Bears, and, subsequently, by the Denver Broncos in 1959. Bruce Stone writes that he can envision, on th e distant and still hazy horizon, the prospect of retiremen t. I read between th e lines that this Bant has not fully embraced the idea of seven Saturdays a week quite yet. C'mon in, Bruce ... .the water's fine. Bruce reminds me that our 45th Reunion is rapidly approaching, and he mentioned that he is looking forward to it. I am certain we all received a "save the date" notice and I truly hope that each of you has done just that. I was scolded by a couple of friends that I do not often menti on what is going on in my life. Well , I shall try to be brief. We have been, like so many of us, fortunate in having a good and healthy life so far. Barb and I have been married for 39 years and have three grown children who all live nearby. We are so very fortunate. Our eldest is Sallie and she lives in Short Hills, which is contiguous to Summit. H er husband is a partner at M cCarter & English, a large NJ law firm, and together, they have four children . Our next in lin e is Rick '91 , who lives in Summit with his wife, Betsy, and their three children (the youn gest just born in July). Rick works in NYC at DeutschB ank where he seems to be thriving and enjoying it inunensely. H e continues to play o n a local men 's hockey team and is turning into a fin e paddle and tennis player. Bob ' 94 is our youngest. H e is 32, still a bachelor, lives in the City and works for Goldman Sachs in private wealth management. He joined Goldman after graduating from the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business. While the kids are working their fmgers to the bone, I am playing lots of golf. Unfortunately, like so many of us, I fmd that miserable handi cap tough to move down to where I think it should be. In the summers, we go to Nantu cket and we have begun to take a couple of winter months in Vero Beac h. Enough of these frigid winters ... and enough about me. The indefatigable an d irrepressible duo of Jack and Cynthia LaMothe are at it again.You will recall that in this space you read that these two had scaled Mount Kilamanjaro last year. Well, th ey are slow to learn, I guess. Here is their latest. As I write this, they are headed to Peru this time and are hiking the Inca Trail in M achu Picchu for a couple of weeks. I get tired just thinking about that task. This man never exhibited that kind of energy when we were roommates for two years at Trinity, I will tell yo u that. Of course, part of the explanation might just be that he is following Cynthia now, so the view is mu ch better and he has a lot more incentive. Way to go, you two kids. Chuck Middleton writes from N ashville, GA, where he relocated as a general surgeon in September 2002. He writes that while this position does give him mu ch of what he has been seeking, it is not the nirvana he had hoped it would be. One of the principal reasons Chuck moved so uth was to be close to his kids, and that has worked well. He hopes to stay in the Southeast, but to find a more professionally challenging position that will give him the opportunity to perform surgery and to care for patients as he has been trained to do and loves to do. In the halls of th e academy, Dick Hall con tinues as head of Washington International School. He and Carol enjoy th e life and pace of living in our nation's capital. Dick has recently been elected to the board of the N ational Association of International Schools. You may recall that Dick spent a dozen years at th e Internati onal School of Brussels, so he is well qualified for the position . This boy is not ready to hang up his robes and retire as he is still loving his work and is obviously well respected in his field. The alumni office has learned that th e Jan. 23, 2004 issue of the Carlisle, PA, Sentinel contains an article describin g a message Robert Sweet, an econ01nist for MTB Investment Advisors, delivered to th e Greater Carlisle Area Chamber of Commerce.

We all know about George's baseball books, but did yo u know that in 1992, he was inducted into the Little League Baseball Museum Hall of Excellence? Did you also know that he currently sits on the "Commissioner's Initiative: Major League Baseball in the 21st Century"? Could he become the next Conmlissioner of Baseball? The article goes on to describe George as being the conservative Republican, but also as being criti cal of th e present administration's reasoning process in Iraq. George also called for Donald Rumsfeld's resignation on the heels of the Abu Ghriab disclosures. The late Patrick Moynihan, Democrat from New York, was among George's closest friends, as is Bob Shrum, the former Ted Kennedy speech writer and top Democratic strategist.

I Fall 2 004

One such example is an e-mail I received from Bruce Davis, who attended Trinity with us as a freshman and then transferred to Ohio Wesleyan University. He now lives in Thousand Oaks, CA. While at Ohio Wesleyan, he played baseball and also played for three years in the Cape Cod League in the summers. After college, he served as an officer in the Marine Corps (including duty in Vietnam). He has worn three hats since his release from active duty in 1966: television and movie actor, real estate broker with Coldwell Banker, and Marine Corps Reserve officer, retiring as a colonel with a total of 34 years of duty. His professional name is Brent Davis, and he has co-starred or been featured in over 120 network episodic television shows and recently completed a co-starrin g role in the motion picture Big Chuck, Little Chuck. Colonel Davis was called back to active duty in Operation Desert Storm and, early in 2004, was screened by H eadquarters Marine Corps for a call-back to active duty for service in Iraq. That call-back remains on hold. Brent has a master's in conmmnication art (wri tin g and directing for the motion pi cture industry) from LoyolaMarymount in Los Angeles and has also worked as an associate producer. H e has a college-age son, Geoff, and his significant other of nine years is Terrie Bagnuolo, a graduate of Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. They just returned from a 12-day trip to England and Wales. Both are avid golfers and recently played in the annual Marine Corps Scholarship Fund GolfTournament held at Camp Pendleton, CA. As to other Class of '63 spring-summer travels, Bill Howland goes to C uba w ith a church group July 19 through July 26 .Then, in August, he and wife, Martha, and daughter, Polly, will be in Ecuador to spend 10 days in the Andes near a couple of sacred volcanoes.They will be under the direction of an Ecuadorian shaman. Bill fully expects these to be interesting and enjoyable growing experiences. Jon Tiefenbrun and wife, Susan , will depart for Nice in July to begin the 13th year of her summer law school program at the University of Nice. Last summer, she received the French Legion of Honor (they needed an American and a woman) and then received the Educator of the Year award from the San Diego Bar Association. Jon published two articles on LDL cholesterol and arterial disease and was appointed clinical professor of surgery at University of California, San Diego. He couldn't stand not working after back and hip surgery, so he's back to part-time clinical practice. Joining her father in medicine, daughter, Michele, fmishes as chief resident in psychiatry at NYU in June and is expecting the first Tiefenbrun grandchild in August. Son, Greg, is a sound engineer in NYC, and Jeremy is teaching in San Diego. Jon hopes to get East more often after the baby is born. Hawaii resident Rich Wheelock returned to the mainland this spring to visit his daughter in Idaho, while wife, Lisa, visited her children in New Mexico. The families then gathered in New M exico before Rich and Lisa returned to Paradise Island, Kauai. Bob and Fe Booth traveled from their home in New Smyrna Beach, FL, to visit friends in Minnesota. While there, they got over to Lake Peppin to see Mike and Karen Schulenberg. Bob reports they had a delightful visit. In September, the Booths are off again, this time for three weeks to visit Fe's fanllly in the Philippines. Washington, DC, attorney, Stan Marcuss, wrote to provide an account of his recent ac tivities. He got back to Trinity for Conm1encement this year and, as a former trustee, was delighted to see how beautiful the can1pus looks in the spring. He also recently ran a two-day international legal seminar in Dallas. In July, he's off to row in a Navy Masters Eight in the Royal Henley Regatta. (Stan readily admits that he's not Navy, but they take him as a ringer!) In August, he will compete in the Masters Nationals rowing regatta in Tennessee. By the

fall, he hopes to complete work on a transcript of a WRTC interview with Robert Frost that he did in his junior year at Trinity. The end product will be donated to theTrinity Library.With the passage oftime, Stan's energy level just seems to be accelerating. We need to fmd out what he's taking! Evidently Dave Wicks already knows. After 35 years of successful and noteworthy achievement in the cable TV & communications industry and two decades of service to not-for-profit organizations, he has formed a new company with three other partners: The Alwyn Group. They are a consulting company specializing in the media, conm1Llnications, and Internet field and are one of the few U.S. consulting firms in their field with partners who have any real company experience. Additionally, Dave is on the road to becoming an adjunct professor at Columbia University and teaching at the School of International Public Administration where his specialty is international regulations. He plans to attend our Homecoming dinner on Nov. 6, and hopes others will mark their calendars as well. Among those of us remaining closer to home, Peter Sherin and wife, Margy, will spend the entire summer at their house in Chatham, MA. Evidently this is a first, since Peter refers to the planned stay as "a huge experiment for the family with DSL lines and cable TV at long last added." He anticipates a little less work and a lot less reading likely this sunm1er with all this digital hardware around. Their son, David, just finished his freshman year at the University of Pennsylvania, exhausted from me discovery of a building called a library and the rigorous commitment of coxing for the heavy weight crew team. He had visited Trinity and liked it a lot but wanted a bigger school. This summer, David is working nearby at the Chatham Bars Inn. As to more recent retirees, the latest to be heard from is Perry Rianhard . After 40 years in sales and marketing in the paper industry, Perry retired in June from Atlas Container. He has now progressed to the next step: downsizing. Perry has sold his home in Trumbull, CT, and he and his wife will be moving/ relocating to Madison, CT, over the course of the SUI1m1er. Additionally, Jim Tozer reports contact with The Rev. Chad Minifie. Chad has retired from full-time ministry, and he and his wife, Dottie, have settled in Hilton Head Island, SC. Additionally, thanks to Jack Waggett's help with the financial aid departn1ent, another Minifie will be attending Trinity this fall : Chad's nephew,Joseph. Yet another retiree, Gary Knisely, confirms that there is life after work. He sold his business to a "dot.com" company in 1998 and got out before the end of the era of irrational exuberance. He worked for the new owners, Monster. com, for all of five months before deciding that he was ill-trained to have a boss, so he sat out his multi-year consulting and non-compete contract (meaning, "we won't ask for your advice, and don't you offer any") . Gary has been spending half his time in the Berkshires and half his time in Nice, France. Recently, he hosted John Kerry's sister, Diana, and together they raised a few bucks for Kerry from the U.S. expatriate community on the Cote d'Azur.The fact that he and his wife of 35 years, Varian Ayers (Skidmore '65), are about to pull up their State-side stakes and move to Europe full-time may be somewhat related, or it could be explained by the attraction of living full-time in paradise! Tom Calabrese and Mike Masius also checked in. Tom continues to work for Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, MA, but finds time to support the Trinity Touchdown Club, most recently working on the September 10th Club GolfTourney to be held at the Blue Fox Run Golf Course in Avon, CT. Mike is an independent commercial realtor in Hartford and, of course, continues his noble efforts on behalf of the

Leukemia Society. An article in the April edition of Artnews (online) is entitled Odd Man ln. It notes, "Known for tiny sculptures made from materials such as paper, rope, string, and bubble wrap, Richard Tuttle has become hugely influential." Finally, here is an update on the most recent Class function. On May 4, Jim Tozer, Vic Keen, Charlie McGill, Dick Field, and Scott Reynolds generously sponsored a Class of 1963 "welcome" luncheon at the University Club in Manhattan for the new Trinity president, Jimmy Jones. Other members of the Class who enjoyed their hospitality were Jack Waggett, Jim Goodridge, Ken Aldrich, Tony Giorgio, Bill Howland, Jim Blair, Pete Linberg, Sandy Creighton, Pete Haskell, Hunter Marvel, Dave Scott, Don Smith, Mike Masius and Yours Truly. We even persuaded two former '63 scholars to attend: Jennie Noakes '01 and Tony Canata '93 ! It was a great little mini-reunion for a good cause that was appre-

ciated. In his thank you note, Jimmy Jones wrote, "I feel even more strongly today that Jan and I have chosen wisely indeed to make Trinity our new academic home, in a large measure because of the warm welcome of each of you." As for this year's graduating Class of '63 Scholar, Brian Collesano, I am pleased to report that he is finally on his postponed sunm1er trip. His travels will take him from London to Cairo, then back to Brussels, Amsterdam, and Paris. From Paris, he heads to Italy and, finally, to Sicily to connect with relatives. He finishes up in Athens. Because of the ftre that destroyed his dad's restaurant last summer, Brian did not do his junior year summer adventure on us. Rather, he helped his father rebuild. Upon his return, Brian will be eagerly seeking to land a job with a law firm in New York and hopes eventually to go to law school.

Proceeds from the sale of the boat that Dick calls the Care Naught will be devoted to endowment for scholarships. Thank you, Dick, for your generous gift to Trinity! Hal Lindert called in June to report that he has retired from the Lewis Mills Regional High School in Burlington, CT, after a 38-year teaching career. Hal plans to increase his involvement with the College now that he has a more flexible schedule. In early April, Drew Smith , Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut, participated in one of a series of panel discussions on campus devoted to the theme of same-sex marriage and its perception as a threat to the family. Other panelists joining Drew were Brian Brown of the Family Institute and Rabbi Stephen Fuchs of Temple Beth Israel. The series was sponsored by Trinity's Greenberg Center, the Religion / Public Life Student Group, the Trinity Chapel, and the Public Policy/ Law Program. Also in April, Merrill Yavinsky, a member of the Board of Fellows, joined other alumni for a "Careers in Finance Roundtable" luncheon presentation on campus. Finally, I am pleased to report that Anne M'76 and I had a full house for our illustrated joint lecture at Reunion on Trinity presidents and their connections with presidents of the United States.

elsewhere, his celibate and virgin offspring all decided to get married this June, taking him to both coasts and Europe in the space of 30 days. Details are lost in e-mail hell, but hopefully Dennis will forgive and refurnish more. Antoinette and I did another 15-week trek this spring, driving and ferrying 18,000 miles to Alaska by way of Brownsville, TX. We are nothing if not geographically challenged! Along the way, we did have some opportunity to visit and bother classmates. We can report from Tucson that Ed and N ancy Landes are preparing for Matt's departure to the University of Denver by planning a fall trip to France. Ed is emulating Omar Shariff's acting and bridgemaster dual careers-except for Ed it is golf and bridge-no one ever said that the man did not have hobbies! We also visited Bill and Judy Brachman in Prescott Valley. Although Bill is still actively fighting his various ailments, we can happily report that his physical condition was markedly improved from the time of our visit a year previous. And the crazy Brachman wit continues unabated. Judy surprised Bill with a 60th birthday party in February and among the congratulatory notes was one from former NBA great Jerry West congratulating Bill on his induction into the NCAA All-time Freshman All-star team for his play as a senior for Signta Nu in the Trinity intramural league. Judy and Bill have two new Billygoa ts, named affectionately for his good friends, Camp and Dunn. Our trip continued to the West Coast, where we were entertained by Kathy and Rich Risse!; we were given the exclusive hiking and viewing trip to Mt. Tamalpais for a look back at San Francisco. There was also a surprise guest awaiting us our first evening at the Rissels. The prior night while exiting the Bohemian Club (do not ask) in downtown San Francisco, Rich was accosted by a voice from the past-John "SnufiY" Alves . What else could Rich do but invite John to join us at dinner the next night, which we spent enjoying salmon and most of the Risse! wine cellar. John was able to explain to us how someone from the streets of our garden city, Bridgeport, ended up publishing a magazine on Honolulu. As the wine cellar emptied, the explanation made more sense. He reported from Hawaii that Tom Israel is thinking of sailing to New Zealand in another self-made boat; and that Dave Bremer is, well, thinking! John is getting married this September in Hawaii, and I would not dare repeat Rissel's rentark about "The fourth time being the charm." Rich, himself, was back on campus this spring, giving the history majors a first-hand account ofVietnam from someone who had been there. H e was struck by how distant that war is to today's students, remembering what a tumultuous event it was in our Jives. We continued up the West Coast, taking ferries from Vancouver Island to Juneau and H ai nes, where we disembarked with vehicle to tour Alaska for several weeks. Our return was through the Canadian plains. A wonderful trip, which we would recommend to all. Since then, we have passed the time waiting for Arnie Schwartzman to call for that promised lunch, although there was time for a golf"match" with Brian Grimes-still the happy newlywed-and Frank Vincent, who is now another Providence-ire. Bill Schweitzer reports that he made it through his 60th birthday party and is looking forward to the fall when, hopefully, son Billy will quarterback the Bantams to another undefeated season. By the way, what is it with all these 60th birthday partiesYour Reporter just celebrated his 40th-party that is.

Mini-reunions are w hen five or 10, or so, schoolmates get together for lunch or dinner or golf. Research among alums shows very illgh interest in mini-reunions. The key is for one or two guys to make it happen. Crow brothers will make a minireuillon happen in November. The second trend is treks. Brad Moses is trekking to Patagonia the day after he retires. Brad's past treks have been to Nepal, Alaska, Africa, and to Johnny "Two-Step" Palamino's all-night runer. Brad and Carol live on Eastman Lake in N ew Hampshire. Jim and Jane O'Connor went on a trek with John and Anna Belle Loeb.John led the O'Connors (who are N ew York City folk) on a trek to the "Lost Falls of Greensboro,VT." Under John's unerring leadersillp, the trek included serious bushwhacking, several double-backs, and retracing steps. Just as Jim started leaving bread crumbs, Loeb found the fearsome falls. A tourist trap tills trek ain't. Charlie Sanders' fl y-fishing trek to the Provo fuver in Utah was big on beautiful vistas and short on beautiful browns or rainbows. Lots of ilies, no fish. But Charlie rud land a big one.

In a recent e-mail, Peter Alsop says something that should probably be said at every illgh school and college commencement, "Having a job doesn't make much sense if it kills your spirit."

Glenn Gamber deserves a tremendous amount of credit for organizing a wonderful memorial dinn er at the Avo n Old Farms Inn in Avon, C T, in memory of Skip Dusseau . In addition to Glenn, the following attended: John Bonee, Patti Mantell-Broad '73 and Richard Broad, Jack Delong '69, Tony DiBella, Carlo Forzani , Karen Scott Forza ni, Warren Kalbacker '71, Jon Knight, Bill Lawrence, Andy Lipps '71 , Douglas Pyrke, Bill Reynolds '71, Steve and Jean Rorke '69 ,Judy and Frazier Scott '71 , and Charlie Tuttle. C lassmates came from as fa r away as orth Carolina and Washingto n, D C, to create a really magical evening. What a remarkable ga thering. So many stori es and so many memories. Our sense of comm unity continues . It was truly amazing to think that we took up w here we left off 30 years ago, as if th ere had been no passage of time. The fr iendships th at were made at Trini ty are trul y unforgettable, and th e effect lasts our lifetimes. For us to at least be reminded to refl ect on th e signifi cance of that fac t, we are indebted to Skip Dusseau. Bevo Biven has written to say he was sorry about Skip Dusseau and also Dr. Bankwi tz. H e said Dr. Bankwitz was his hero in the history department and th e most remarkable teacher he has ever had. He truly was a remarkable teacher, and I remember an incredible convocation he orga nized in M ather H all after th e bombing of Cambodi a that was remarkabl y enlightening. We had such am azing moments at Trinity durin g those times of such upheaval. Also, Bevo is wonderin g if any of us has heard fro m Marty Williams. Please let Bevo know. Judy Dworin has been written up in th e Hartfo rd Co urant as being one of the mainstays of th e arts in H artford . H er company, the Judy D worin Performance Ensemble, is one of th e region's top modern dance troupes. " Its cutting-edge works come right off th e fro nt page in a sequence of movement, narratio n and visual images." Judy Dworin chairs th e theater an d dance department at Trinity now and was fo un der of the H artfo rd D ance Coalition. T he Hartford Courant has suggested that we salu te her efforts. She is currently pushing th e idea of including dance in the Connecticut's public school curri culum. Alan Gibby, head of school at Burlington D ay School in Burlington, N C, has written to share a tale of coincidence involving a member of our C lass. His older broth er, who lives in Conn ecticut and who is not a Trinity grad, just happened to have dinner one night with Charlie Foss! Alan was amazed at w hat a small world it is. H aving had dinner w ith C harli e Foss just six months ago, I can say th at it is a memorable exp eri ence. Alan is in th e research triangle of R aleigh, Durham, and C hapel Hill and has his hands full in his position as head of school. He wo ul d enj oy re-co nnectin g w ith anyo ne fro m th e C lass of '70 who may reside nearby or is just passing th rough . It is great to hear fro m him after so many years. Charley Taylor called with some rema rkable news from his hospital bed in St. Louis. H e has had a heart transplant operation. H e definitely must be th e first one in our C lass w ho has had such an operation and perhaps th e fi rst Trinity grad to have received such a benefit. He says he is now wea ring clothes he purchased in law school as a result of his new regimen. I feel privileged that he thou ght to call n1.e at such an incredible m oment in his Life. T urge as nu ny as possible to give Charley a call in retu rn!

she presented a program and workshop at the Huntington Museum of Art at Marshall University in West Virginia. The university newspaper reports: "During the program, Dill will offer insight on her artistic creations in which she has jumbled words and inuges on canvas. Dubbed 'visionary poetics' by various critics, Dill's work combines the verse of writers like Emily Dickinson, William Blake, and Pablo Neruda with pictures and symbols that Dill prints, draws, paints, and sews into canvas." Mter graduating from Trinity, according to the article, Lesley earned a master of arts degree in art education at Smith College and a master of fme arts degree from the Maryland Art Institute in Baltimore. She has received several awards, includ.ing the New York Foundation for the Arts Award and a National Endowment for the Arts Award . All the information sent me scurrying to the Internet where I d.iscovered just how widely exhibited and well known she is. I recommend (as I have in previous edi tions) that you go to the Internet to get a feel for the depth and breadth of her work. Follow the various links that point to a significant career. The alunmi office notes that Paul Vitello, Newsday columnist, spoke at the University Club of Long Island last February. The alumni office also reports that Jerry Rowe has joined the Passumpsic Savings Bank in St. Jo hnsbury, VT, as vice president/ commercial loan officer.

It was delightful seeing all these people. Not having a cassette recorder or the ability to take shorthand, I'll have to rely on those who cam e to pass on anything they may want imparted (beyond my cryptic parentheticals) in the next column. In the run up to the Reunion, I heard from several classmates who could not attend but sent regards: Pierre Cournot, Ron Duckett, Sam Gidding, Stephen Meyer, Susan Merritt Baird, Richard Moller, Carolyn Pelzel, Sara Vogeler, and Richard Wolfram . Some others had news to pass

on to the C lass: Rebecca Adams, now a full professor in the sociology department at UNC-Greensboro, is completing a new book about the community formed among followers of the Grateful Dead. Lloyd Wolf, following up on a prior work on Jewish mothers, released a book of his photographs, with essays by Paula Wolfson, j ewish Fathers -A Legacy of Love. Heidi Newbauer Jacobus is continuing to develop her awesome high-tech company, Cybernet Systems Corp. (check them out on line!) . Matt O'Connell is CEO of a satellite company (Orbimage) based in Virginia, commuting there from his home in Long Island. I also received kind notes from several classmates. Cathy Green writes that her life in New Hampshire goes on as before-"Busy criminal defense practice Gust about to begin a murder trial," with cases ranging from " defense of th e younger kid in the 'Dartmouth Murder' case to the occasional 50-year-old that forgets to remove the joint from his pants .. . " Her husband, Jim Starr, is clerk of the U.S. District Court. Daughter, Miki, just finished her first year at Colby-"premed, dean 's list, softball rookie of the year and second team all conference in NESCAC," Daughter, Tory, is a high-school junior, class president, "softball star in her own right, incredibly active Kerry supporter, and actress. I can't believe that my kids are so grown up! " Somehow, Cathy and Jim find time to travel, " Africa, Japan, Australia, Alaska, BC, Italy, France some of the more recent journeys. Life is very good ." Robin Adelson Little writes that she was en route with her husband, Rod, on a two and one-half week trip to Eastern Europe and England . Robin works as development officer (i.e., fundraiser) for the University of Michigan Exhibit Museum of Natural History, doing corporate solicitation, event planning, and membership recruitment and retention. "The Museum has an impressive collection of prehistoric fossils, as well as exhibits on Michigan wildlife, anthropology, gems and minerals and a planetarium." For hobbies, she walks her dog, practices yoga, and does volunteer work. Rod is a professor of biostatistics in the UM School of Public Health , "known for his work in missing data," on w hich he has co-authored a textbook, and on top of work "sings in two choirs." Their children are David, 23, who recently graduated from the University ofWisconsin, Madison , and Andrew, 19, at Carleton. Ann Force writes as follows: "I got married in February to Sanford Sherman and we are enjoying a semi-rural existence with lots of art, photography, and gardening. We also enjoyed a three-week trip to Catalunya last sunm1er and stayed with author friends Josep-Francesc Delgado and Herminia Mas. l translated some of their poetry last year and one of Mr. Delgado 's poems was published in the April 2003 Atla11ta R evieH', a collection of translated Spanish poetry edited by Steven Ford Brown. All the Spanish languages were represented, as well as many different eras. I am continuing to translate Els Llops de Ia hma roja, an award vvinning novel that Delgado wrote, which is based upon collected stories offamily members and friends in the town ofCasseres, Bergueda , Catalunya at the end of the Spanish Civil War. And I hope to

translate a shorter children's book that M as wrote called Email from

Buwos Aires." We were hon ored to have Professor M aijorie Butcher as our guest at the Saturday night dinner. The C lass elected Barry O'Brien as o ur new Class president and Lise Gescheidt as our new vice president. They also re-elected me as C lass secretary-but everyone promised they would not write, so we could assure that we will continue to have very little to say in the Reporter. Seriously: in the nature of things, just as the wave of C lass news crested towards this R eunion, we are likely to enter a news tro ugh until the 35th R eunion. I would be most happy (and your classmates would be delighted, too) if everyone in the C lass would get in touch from time to time between th ese milestone events. I wish you all a safe and happy fall.

This means th ey let her teach other teachers, which is either cool or scary depending on how you look at it. She contmutes to work about 20 miles each way an d so purchased a Mini Cooper to make the drive more fun, not to mention more challenging in th e snow. This fall she is starting courses (o n weekends), which will lead to certification as a secondary school administrator, to what exact end she is not certain, but it will be nice to have the certification in her pocket. Jory is sure she will be a most exasperating student. It does seem as if most of her time is spent teaching classes or taking classes.

Seven kids accompanied parents, and we got good reports from them about the various child-care programs. Reunion ers came from locales including: Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Maine,Vermont, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington, DC, Maryland, Georgia, Kentucky, Illinois, California, Washington, and Switzerland . Money-again, these figures are from the alumni office--The Class of1979 raised $161,598 this year, and its five-year totaJ is 911,771. Weather--excellent.

And I missed Saturday's dessert buffet. Speeches-20th Trinity President Borden Painter's '58 took top honors. The former president's delivery was de-lightful, aJmost Cole Porteresque. It made those of us who hadn't studied with him wish we had. Physical plant-All consulted agreed that the campus Qones and a few other sites aside) looked stumung, even accounting for the annual Reunion spruce-up and the great weather. In fact, we noted that inside and out, Trinity today is a far cry from when we attended, and we applaud the changes in course offerings and campus climate as well. This was the first time I no ticed a scheduled reception for gay, lesbian, and bisexual alumni and " all.ies," but it could be that I simply didn't pay attention during past visits. The Hillel House brunch offering is far more doable now that there's an actual Hillel Center, and it's on campus. If you recall , Hillel was housed in an aparm1ent on Crescent Street. The bookstore, which is abo ut 20 times larger than the one we used, is rather pri cey, however. We '79ers delighted in the weather, in ex1Jloring, and mostly just taJking and snapping pictures. (We discovered that Kim Lewis was doing double duty since she's married to Joseph Pratt II from the Class of 1971.) We talked and walked a li ttle, and then we ate. Then we taJked and walked a little, and then we snacked. This was pretty much how things shaped up for many of us. I don't know anyone who attended anything scheduled except meals, so I'm afraid I can't comment on the various offerings such as facu lty panels and tours of Hartford areas. The

tour schedules didn't really fit our schedules, and we weren 't feeling sporting. The Jack Chatfield '64/Ron Spencer '64/Frank Kirkpatrick '64 presentation appeared suspiciously like one we'd listened to several years ago. But I think th at the wonderful weather made us reluctant to spend much time inside for anything. Also, the th ought of coordinating activities seemed overwhel.t1ung. And if alarms were sound ed w hen we got into Jones and posed for pictures in our old rooms, we're sorry for the inconvenience. OK, we're not real sorry. OK, we're not sorry at all. Bragging rights-No other class won more alumni awa rds than we did, thanks to Margaret-Mary (Tami) Voudouris Preston an d Eric Fossum . In case you forgot- Tanu was a history major and th e first woman elected president of Trinity's Student Government Association . In addition , she was on the Mather Hall Board of Governors, the Career Counseling Advisory Comnuttee, and th e Cerberus (sophomore year) Honor Society. Tanu worked in international bankin g during sununer breaks from Trinity. Following gradu ation, she worked at Salomon Broth ers in New York before earning a Harvard MBA in 1983. She th en joined Alex Brown & Sons, In c., now D eutsche Bane Alex.Brown , in Baltimore where Tanu held the rank of chief operating officer before joitung the Mercantile Safe D eposit and Trust Company in 2002 to develop its private wealth managem ent division. Tami has lent her talented and generous han d to many nonprofi t ventures, including the United Way of Central Marylan d, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, the Baltimore Educational Scholarship Trust (a project that helps disadvantaged African-American yo uth to spots in private schools), and the Greater Baltimore M edi cal Center. In 2003, Baltimore Mayor Martin O 'Malley honored Tami's contributions to the city. Tanu is also an active, hands-on alum. She 's been a R eunion Gift Committee and Board of Fellows member. Since 1997, she has been a College trustee, serving as secretary, as chairman of th e fm ance and budget conmuttee, and as a member of the investm ent and physical plant committees. In 1999, Tanu won the Gary M cQuaid alumni award. Tanu and her husband, Michael Preston , donated a firepl ace an d lounge area in the new R aether Library and Information Technology Center. Eric Fossum of California and N ew H ampshire (accordin g to th e Reunion alumni directory) has helped change th e way we see th e world, literally. He's been an international leader in transfornun g imaging technology for such projects as giving new diagnostic tools to doctors and cameras to cell phone users. H e's also furth ered the art of adapting NASA science to the world outside of space travel. After earning a Trinity degree in engineering an d physics (he was a President's Fellow during our senior year and won th e Physics Senior Prize), Eric earned a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Yale in 1984, receiving the H enry Prentiss Becton engineering prize in Ius fmal year. After gradu ation , Eric taught electrical engineering at Columbia University. In 1990, he joined NASA 's Jet Propulsion Laboratory at th e California Institute of Technology, where he continued Ius work in in1aging science, leading a team th at developed important camera-o na-chip technology that was cheaper, smaller, and more efficient than predecessors. In 1996, he moved into th e private sector to becom e chief scientist and later CEO of imaging leader Photobit Technology Company. This work has allowed medical engineers to put a camera in a pill th at patients swallow. In 2003, he left Photobit (which imaging pioneer Micron Technology, Inc. had acquired in 2001) and returned to acade-

nua as adjun ct professor of electrical engin eering and electrophysics at th e University of Southern California . The Reunion alunmi directory, however, lists Eric as a Senior Fellow for California's Micron. Eric's career acknowledgements have included th e National Science Foundation's Presidential Youn g Investigator Award; the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Lew Allen Award for Excellence; the NASA Exceptional Acluevement M edal; and th e Photographic Society of America's Progress M edal. Eric holds 69 patents, has served on numerous professional comnuttees, and is a member of the U.S. Space Foundation Technology Hall of Fame. As a Trinity alum, Eric serves on the College's Engineering Advisory Coun cil and Board of Fellows. Our C lass was also handsomel y represented by Clay Kanzler's exhibit of paintings in Austin Arts Center. C lay has painted in Vermont, Maine, and Florida in the past 25 years. His work has been shown all over the United States and is part of many corporate and private collections. Sarah Wright Neal and Phil Renzullo, our intrepid Class agents fo r the past five years, were amo ng those presentin g th e C lass donation. They've worked hard and are turning in their titles. T hose '79ers publicly noted for their alumni leadership: Anne Fickling Brainard, Liz Kelly Droney, Bill Irvine , Sarah Wright Neal, Tanu Voudouris Preston, Phil R enzullo, Jeff Seibert, and Andrew Walsh. Thanks, always, to Sarah's husband, David, who was ready to carry the Class of 1979 banner, as he's done in past years, sin ce so many of us run and lude when the banner shows up prior to th e alumni parade-more of an alunul..i plod as '79ers do it. We chat way too much for it to be called a parade, as Borden Painter wryly remarked in his address. David was not pressed into service this year, but we still keep him among th e honorary members of the Class of '79 . Jane Terry Abraham's husband, Joe, refused to carry the banner this year. We don 't love him any less and still consider him one of us. And special th anks to Cindy Killian Dodd '78 who squired Nathalie Reverdin throughout the weeke nd .We also consider C indy one of ours. N at, who came from. her home in Geneva, Switzerland, wo n our Class's award for the person to have traveled the farthest for Reunion. Diane Molleson traveled from Washington State. T hanks also to our e-mail conduits-through w hom communication fl ows even though it's never mail for them-David Neal and Jennifer's 16-year-old daughter, Cad y. Cad y was just deputized at the R emuon, but David's an old hand at it by now and likens the experience to moderating a chat room, particularly w hen nutu-reunion planning gets hot and heavy (as in the Sturbridge Village event) but dutifully prints everything out for Sarah to read at home and graciously refrains from intetjecting. Although I do believe it was David who suggested th e Sturbridge Village site. Jim Cropsey recently wo n a Bronze Certificate from the American Homebrewers Association for ale made from a weed found in his Tilton, NH , lawn. The ale was brewed using alehoof instead of hops. The use of alehoof wo uld have been prevalent before the introducti on of hops to the British Isles aro und 1700 AD. The Encyclopedia of Beer, 1995 edition , describes Alehoof as " a ground weed (Nepeta Glecoma) that has been used for cenmries to bitter beer." Alehoof is also known as ground ivy, gill-over-the-ground, ale-gill, cat'sfoot,

alecost, and ale hove. It's a member of the mint family, as is Catnip, and has the reputation of preventing or assisting in the recovery from hangover. Jim researched the unusual weed, harvested it from his property, and crafted a low-alcohol ale.Jirn's house is reputed to have been an actual alehouse in 1795 . His brew won among more than 4,400 entries. Jim belongs to the Lakes Region Homebrewers. Attorney David Rosenblatt, managing partner of the Boston firm, Burns & Levinson, won the American Jewish Committee's 2004 Judge Learned Hand Award . The award was established in memory of Hand (1872-1961 ), a legendary jurist and scholar often called "the 1Oth justice of the United States Supreme Court" and believed by many to be the single greatest influence on public law. The award is presented to leaders of the legal profession who exemplifY the high personal and professional principles for which Judge Hand stood. In particular, Dave was cited for his influence on the practice oflaw, his support of the Boston Public School system, and his efforts at charitable fund-raising. Much like some of the partnerships that Trinity College has forged within the Hartford community, Dave's ftrm, under his leadership, created a partnership with Brighton (a Boston neighborhood) High School in 1998 that continues to support both students and teachers and has become a model for such programs. Dave is a Society of Fellows member of the Boston Bar Foundation. The foundation 's mission is to help secure legal services for those who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford them and to help fund organizations working to improve the legal system. Society of Fellows members of the foundation (the charitable affiliate of the Boston Bar Association) help with funding and encouraging local lawyers and law firms to donate time and services. Dave serves as a member of the board of directors of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, the leading business organization in the city. And as of this writing, Dave was helping to prepare an autumn United Way fundraising breakfast geared toward attracting donations from the legal comnmnity. In 1989, Dave created Burns & Levinson 's environmental law division, which he heads. Dave now has his own media byte found in print and on the Internet. He says that environmental law's focus is switching from "clean-up to compliance" since less work, after several decades, is needed to identify and clean up contaminated sites and because more businesses want to ensure that they are in compliance with various local, state, and federal environmental laws. Dave has represented clients in some of the largest environmental cases in the Northeast. In addition to his expertise in environmental issues, Dave has become an oft-quoted expert on the mid-sized law firm. Dave is also a member of the Burns & Levinson's real estate group. Dave joined Burns & Levinson in 1982 after completing law school at Boston College. He became a firm partner in 1989 and is currently serving his third term as managing partner. In addition to two Massachusetts offices, Burns & Levinson has offices in Rhode Island and Washington, DC.

Dave has also been selected to appear in the six most recent editions of The Best Lawyers in America. And who better to assume the title of Class agent? I confess, I proposed Dave's name to friends and persuaded them to approach him. We weren't a large bunch and not everyone stayed for the weekend. Few, if any, arrived on Thursday and some dropped in only for a few hours on Saturday. Everything seemed pretty low-key, but it seemed that all enjoyed themselves; we found we had more in common with classmates than we'd had during our Trinity years. And we toasted: Ottaviano A. Canevaro, Andrew J. Castelle, Vivian Apt Disbrow, Henry F. Jacobius, Jr., Michael W. 0' Rourke III, Jennifer H. Small, and Jackie Wolff, who left this world too damn early.

Tony Chase writes, "I have lived in Buffalo, New York for the past 25 years. I'm a journalist here, and the speechwriter for the president of Buffalo State. Catherine Linder Spencer, who is a native Buffalonian, also lives in Buffalo with her husband and two sons. I just spoke to her on the phone; we agree that we adore Buffalo! The town is surprisingly arts oriented for a city of its size. (Both Catherine and I are very active in the arts and other civic activities.) "I visited Ian Mac Neil a couple of times last year in London where his career in theater set design is thriving. He is currently working on the musical version of Billy Elliot, which will be directed by Stephen Daldry with a score by Elton John. I saw the model; it will be amazing. Frankly, he's still using some tricks we learned from watching shows as volunteer ushers at the Hartford Stage Company-he wouldn't deny it! "Kaja Silverman is still on the faculty at Berkeley, and living in Oakland. She has a new book every time you turn around. "I send regards to Suwathin Phiansunthon, Janet Weakley, Michael Siraco, Maggie Affelder Coyne, Tuck Woh Shum '81, Cyprian Ukah, and other vivid friends from our Class, and would like to know what they are up to. Ian and I always wonder about Margie Campbell '78. She is still our inspiration as we endeavor to be cheerful early in the morningwe recall her smiling face as she served up eggs in the breakfast line. Also to Professor Milia Riggio, who in my memory is younger than I am now!" David Koeppel wrote from New York City, where he is still living with his wife, Lesley, and their three children-Noah, nine, Adam, eight, and Claire, who is four. David is still playing and coaching hockey and enjoying being with his family. Alan Levine is director of marketing for the law firm of Cole, Schotz, Meisel, Forman & Leonard in Hackensack, NJ. He writes, "My partner and I have two wonderful children, Russell (almost 10) and Jordana (almost 6), both adopted from China, who fill every waking hour of our lives. Happily, I manage to stay in touch with my Trinity friends , David Clark, Andy Teitz, and Paul Feuerman ." Denise Jones-Sciarra and her husband, Silvio, just celebrated 20 years of marriage. With their 11-year old on, Kevin Henry, they spend their free time skiing in Killington, VT, and, in the summer, split their time between Silvio's family home in Old Lyme, CT, and the beaches of Narragansett, RI. Denise notes that's about the only time she gets to

swim. Denise left the executive world three years ago after 20 years in banking with Connecticut Bank & Trust and Fleet Bank. She now works part-time in the Governor's office as the director of constituent services, " having just gone through the historic impeachment processwhat an interesting time this was for someone Like me who is not politically inclined at all' I was fortunate to be asked to stay on with the new administration and look forward to working with Governor Rell ." Mike Hinton wrote from Bucks County Pennsylvania, where he notes he has "a wife, three kids, dog and a bunch of fish . .. who has time for anything else! Our oldest daughter is driving now and looking for athletic scholarships (she's a basketball player). Too bad for Trinity, Division I schools are very interested. I hope to make the Reunion. Go, Ducks' " Jane Dwight Seibert and Jeff '7? attended Jeff's 25th R eunion at Trinity and report that "it was a wonderful weekend. The campus looks fabulous, and it was great to catch up with a lot of people. I certainly hope to make it to ours next June and recommend it to all. "Jeff and I reside in Baltimore, MD, and have two children-Jeffrey, Jr. is 19 and will be attending Stanford University in the fa]] of 2004 . As he is a computer fanati c and has his own company that does custom Web design and Macintosh software development, we are thrilled for him, although it is far from home. Our daughter, Annie, is 17 and will be a junior in high school. We get to start the college process all over again. Trinity offers a wonderful weekend for children of alums to introduce them to college and the admissions process. Our son attended, and we hope that, between crew regattas next April, Annie will be able to take advantage of it." Jane continues to work part time, running the office for a pre-school, and notes, "It keeps me busy and mentally stimulated. I have maintained my interest in sports and am involved in tennis, paddle tennis, weight lifting, and spinning classes. As I have spent the past 19 years primarily raising children, I am entering a new stage oflife as Jeff and I will be empty-nesters starting in the fall of 2006- hard to believe'" Andy Teitz (known in College as "Andrew," since he wanted to seem older) is living in his home state of Rhode Island, with his first wife, Lois (thanks for noting that, Andy!), and two children, Elizabeth (age

10), and Alexandra (age four) . Lois is currently " retired" from doing health care quality in1provement and is a stay-at-home mom, which, Andy comments, " is an oxymoron, since she is always taking the kids somewhere or other." Andy is an attorney with his own small law firm (Ursillo, Teitz & Ritch , Ltd.) where he does mainly real estate, land use, and related litigation. My good friend and former roommate, Julie Kuck , reports that all is well on the West Coast. She continues to live in San Diego and is able to visit her mother, who so graciously hosted a number of unruly college kids during sunm1er visits. David Pfeiffer wrote from London , where he lives with his wife, Sandra, and their three children (8-12). He moved to New York after Trinity and was trained at Chemical Bartle, and in 1987 moved to WestLB, a German bank, where he still works. "We lived in Chicago (Winnetka) for eight years and loved it, and moved here four years ago. I went to NYU Stern at night for my MBA and got a CFA a few years ago to keep fresh . I run the bank's consumer goods and life sciences Western European industry teams, which is a bit out of the ordinary for a midwestern An1erican , but I speak German and spent my junior year there in Freiburg. I travel a lot on the continent, and we have been able to make the most, vacation-wise, of being based in Europe. Our children go to English schools, and we are pleased with the schools. The kids remain staunchly American just the same and have not picked up an accent. We live in central London, and it is great here, but we still have access to some important things from home (Weber grills are sold here and there is a cable channel with all-NA sports). I have not been back to Trinity since May 1980." David also would like to hear from lost friends. Finally, if you're in the market for high-quality, hand-crafted furniture, consider Henry Fox '81 and his studio, Fox Brothers, featured 111 the Merrimack River Current online www2. townonline .co m / byfield / lo ca iRegional /view. bg?articleid=27480. According to the C11rrent, Fox "belongs to a rare breed of craftsmen who still design, build, and sell their creations, all under the same roof. It is a concept Fox masters so well, he has attracted customers nationwide and has been selected to display his sleek line of furniture at several prestigious shows, such as the Smithsonian Craft Show in Washington, D.C." For more information on Henry's company, go to http :! / www.foxbros.com/ final /about_whowe.html. My kids, Eric, 11, and Sarah , nine, are wrapping up sailing lessons, and we're hoping they'll become competent enough that we may one day be able to give up our gas-guzzling power boat for sailing. I continue to work as a marketing consultant, and Jim has his hands in energy and environmental for Unilever. We also continue to nurture the pond in front of our house, now home to some very large fish, one of which is named Forty Eight in honor of Jim's last birthday.

Prior to this most recent position , Philip had been a portfolio manager with Trust Company of the West. Since other news was rather light, I we nt casting throu gh the Web to see what was going on with some of our classmates. l started with a few people that Carl Rapp (who is still in Philadelphia and doing well) only guessed abo ut th eir current activities but without any facts. While spec ulation was that one of my roommates was on a walkabout in th e N ew England mountains, it turns out that Thomas Liscord was busy getting his medical degree and is currently practicing at the Winthrop H ealth Center in Winthrop, ME. His pi cture on th e Web site indicates th at he eith er found th e fountain of yo uth or he used his college ID photo. At least he made it easy for me to confirm that l had the right Mr. Liscord. Much to my chagrin, th e rumors abo ut Armando Paolino living in H awaii were not true. H e currently is th e Connecticut state director of

the N ational Federation of Independent Businesses and keeping an active hand in state politics as a lobbyist. Speaking of politi cs, probably the busiest classma te this year is Steve Elmendorf. H e's the deputy campaign manager for John Kerry's presidential campaign , and I would imagine his sleepless nights are many and his frequent flyer miles are even more. Ben Baron's picture made it onto the Internet pages as he took part in a Wash ington Post online discussion back in D ecember regarding college admissions and entrance exams. Ben is currently the mid-Atlantic regional director for Kaplan Educational Centers and was very impressive in his responses to the varied questions from the on-line audience. Finally, Regina Bonsignore is a senior research fellow at the Design Center, American Urban Landscape at the College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, the University of Mi1mesota. Judging by the number publications and projects she has been involved in, she is staying quite active up in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. As for me, I took my family to Sweden for almost rwo weeks at the beginning of July and had a wonderfi.ll time, despite the constant rain . We went to the Swedish Tennis Open in Bostad and went on a tourist boat ride throu gh the wate rs of Stockholm with the U.S. ambassador to Sweden. H e happened to be from Texas so 1 wonder how he got that position. I've joined a start-up company involved with digital media so any of my venture capital classmates who have some spare change-! have a wonderful opportunity for you . Best wishes to all.

I received this update for Robin Fins quite a while ago, but neglected to send it in for the last issue of the Trinity Reporter-apologies, R obin! So here is a belated update from Robin: "Mter receiving the latest Trinity R eporter and having missed the R eunion, I thought I would finally send along an update on my life. It's been a very exciting time for me of late. I remarried in June 2000 to Sam Brian, an edu cator with the Bank Street College of Education, and this past June we adopted a little girl from China-so w hile others were at the Trinity Reunion, we were packing our bags for the trip of a lifetime. Ruth Yuan Ru Brian was adopted on June 16, and she was then 13 months old. Ruth is named for my Mom;Yuan Ru is her Chinese name and it means "all will go well around her." Ruthie is from Arli1Ui Province, which is about an hour west of Shanghai by plane.We traveled to China in June, having been greatly delayed in our travel date due to SARS. It was pretty dicey for a w hile waiting to see if the C hinese government wOLlld let us come to bring our daughter home. Finally, after a great deal of back and forth done by our amazing adoption agency in N ew York City, our group of seven families was permitted to go. This happened just as the government suspended all adoptions due to SARS. Our trip to C hina was terrific and fortunately barely affected by

SARS. H owever, we traveled with protective face masks, rubber gloves, lots of Purell and clorox wipes, which, thankfully, we were able to ditch along the way. We flew first to Shanghai and spent rwo days there before we traveled to Hefei, the provinical capital of Anhui Province. We met our daughter in H efei on Monday, June 16, and finalized the adoption on that day. She cried mightily when her nanny handed her to me, but by the end of the first day, we had gotten our firSt little smile. Ruthie has adjusted to life in New York City very well . She is a beautiful child w ho is now 17 months old. She has made tremendous strides since coming home and we are so amazingly happy she has come into our lives. We live in an Upper West Side duplex co-op that we bought last year. It is a real NYC find with both a woodburning fireplace and a back ya rd. I am still on a six-month maternity leave from Planned Parenthood of New York City. I am the vice president for human resources and have been there for 16 years! I think this is my ninth position there. I go back to work in D ecember, so that will be the nell.1: adjustment for our family. In the meantime, I am enjoying being a 'new' mom to a sweet toddler."

After having such a terrific time at our 20th R eunion , I am delighted to be your new Class secretary and hope that I can continue to facilitate the good "news flow" established by my predecessors! We were a small but enthusiastic R eunion group, and those of you w ho were there for that gorgeo us June weekend know what fun it was. At the Class dinner on Saturday night, co-hosted with style by Steve Tall and Peter Yearley, Dave Lenahan graciously agreed to chair our 25th. D ave's legendary charisma and tenacity guarantee us a bigger turnout and an even better tim e in 2009! Also, at the Class dinner, Laura Austin Allyn and Scott Allyn handed out (and autographed) copies of their latest CD, "I could be anyone," with words, music and guitar by Scott and lead vocals by Laura. The CD-which has become a favorite at my house and in my car-was produced to benefit the Allyn's new arts venture in Syracuse, NY The space, named "the redhouse," is billed as "an innovative and intimate new home for theatre, film, music and fine art."

check out redhousetheater@yahoo.com. Nancy Meade took the prize for traveling the greatest distance to Reunion- from Anchorage, AK. Nancy, a Trinity swimming captain and record holder who still swims competitively, was one of several Class of '84 parents who enjoyed the new pool with our kids during Reunion weekend. Staying on campus, as many of us did, gave us a chance to check out the luxurious new dorms. My son, Peter, who's 10, and Reunion Program Co-Chair Laura Darby McNally's kids, Patrick, eight, Alyssa, six, and Megan, four, were as awestruck as we were by the three-story atrium with a baby grand piano and en suite bathrooms in the quads! For veteran Trinity rowers, the Alumni Row is a not-to-be-missed chance to be back on the Connecticut. Bob Rochelle, Chris Melo , and Bob Reichart (who flew up from Virginia just for the day) make it an annual tradition to row with former fellow Lightweights, followed by a big diner breakfast. Jamie Robinson, Melissa Jacobsen Robinson, Katie Finck Gardner, Tim Nash, Laura Darby McNally, and I joined these diehards and rowers from several other reunion classes for a mixed bag of boats that managed to keep it together and have a lot of fun! Reunion attendees also included Mark Ackerman, Mary Acunzo, Janice Anderson, Sal Anzalotti, Jordan Bain, Laura Ledbetter Baird, Dan Barach, Donald Bisson, Michael Criscione, Elizabeth Davis, Jon Diluzio, Brian Driscoll, Laura Dyson Evancho, Sarah Fisher, Robert Flynn, Susan Greene, Bill Gregg, Jennifer Wolfe Guidry, Mark Guthrie, John Hamblett, Gregory Hasson, Judith Peterson Havard, Michael Havard, Maria Lavieri Hislop, Stephen Klots, Susan Lawrence Lebow, Alison Limpitlaw Light, Kurt Kusiak, Michael Lafortezza, Michelle Lenkeit, Roger Levin, Jean Lucas, Weezie Kerr Mackey, Anne Mahoney, Laney Lynch Makin, Greg Norsigian, Richard Ollari, Dan Palazzolo, Karina Pearse-La Malfa, Erin Poskodl, Randy Schrenk, Michael Schweighoffer, Catherine Marona Shrestha, Martha Cross Stewart, Anne Gurin Tall, Shelby Tupper, who brought her entire family from Oakland CA, and Liz Lynch Valicenti . One of the things Laura and I discovered as co-chairs was how many of the e-mail addresses the College has that are incorrect, making what should be an easy method of cornnlUnication difficult.We sent out mass e-mails (to try and convince you to attend Reunion), only to have many, many of them bounce back. So please, go to Trinity's Web site, www.trincoll.edu, click on alumni, and update your records, particularly your e-ma.il address! Tyler Jones was profiled in a March article in the Buffalo, NY,Joumal Inquirer: "East Hartford connection thriving at DePaul." Tyler, a former general manager and coach of the Connecticut Pride of the Continental Basketball Association, is, according to the article, an important member of the DePaul coaching staff that "has college basketball fans in Chicago buzzing." In April, Bob Flynn, executive director of the Insurance and Financial Services Cluster, a Connecticut government and industry initiative, was honored with the Finance Alumni of the Year Award from the University of Connecticut School of Business. Bob is currently working with other departments at the School of Business to expand the executive education programs to be offered at the new Financial Accelerator facility scheduled to open in downtown Hartford in September.

Alumni Fund Goal: $80,000 Class Secretary: Stephen J. Norton, 9 Ninth St., SE, Washington, DC 20003-1333 e-mail: stephen.norton.1985@trincoll.edu Class Agents: Marc A. Chabot; John T. Wilson Hi, folks. Twenty years ago this fall we returned to Trinity as seniors. We had become the self-assured adults we viewed with awe as freshmen a mere three years earlier. Housing lotteries, semesters at Barbieri, and internships were behind us. As Mather construction took shape, cola wars waged, and the Soviet Union buried its leaders, we were taking LSATs, completing requirements for our majors, and making decisions and establishing friendships that last to this day. Unprompted by the above musing, Class jester Chris Hogan seemed frazzled by the idea so much time has passed. " I am in deep, deep denial about it. I think each one of us needs to go to the town where we were born and demand to see the original birth certificates in city hall," he wrote. Regarding 1984, he said it was great year and reflected. "Italy, Greece, the Olympics. The future weighing heavily on my shoulders. "What am I going to do with my life?" Still asking that. Everyday in some shape or form. Well, I am funnier and more handsome than I was in 1984. Okay, what I mean to say is that now I'm not as hideous. I still drink beer. Why I bet I drank a case of beer last year-24 beers, 12 months. Not bad. I still got it. LA does that to you . We're high on life, dudes!" Chris unloaded just before leaving NYC where he was doing a play. In other current news, Lou Shipley reports Reflectent Software is doing well-up to 30 employees and "making great progress with Wall Street accounts." Son, Clarke, nine, and loves fishing, construction equipment, and his pet gecko, and daughter, Caroline, six, has fallen for the Sox and especially likes Nomar." (I hope she is not taking the swap too badly, Lou.) "Three-year-old Vanessa keeps us on our toes. "Most importantly I founded a hockey league, the Andover Convalescents," reported Lou (www.andoverconvalescents.com.). "It is already more profitable than my software company! You do need a character reference to play and we prefer if you are not a prison guard." Ken Festa is enjoying the challenge of working as a business analyst at Bear Stearns. He said he is "marking time by the passage of marathons, half-marathons, and candles on little boys' birthday cakes." Ken and his family live in New York City, but had recently spent a couple weeks in Barbados, where they have a house. "The temptation to stay was pretty strong," wrote Ken. Beach bum or Bear Stearns analyst? Mmmmm. That is a tough one, Ken. Gretchen Kimmick moved to Raleigh and started working at Duke in the breast oncology group in August. Thanks for your important work, Gretchen. Caroline Coco married Brad Hudson in May and honeymooned in Hawaii. They returned to go house hunting in her hometown of Wellesley, MA. Caroline has spent 14 years at Deutsche Bank Alex. Brown. Matthew Moore is leaving the film industry and the West Coast to pursue the law. Matt's father and brother are lawyers, so he grew up around it and always liked it. However, he admitted, ''I'm actually more worried about being able to study after all these years! " Matt was

headed to Fort Lauderdale with his partner, Ralph. "Spending every other week on transcontinental flights was getting to be too much," said Matt. Ralph has "deep family and business ties to Florida," and Matt said he was ready for a change and "testing the theory that life begins at 40." Orlando Gonzalez recently worked for the United Nations at its annual conference on sexual and civil rights, organized by CEPAL, one of the UN commissions for Latin America and the Caribbean. He also continues to direct and produce plays and travel , travel, travel. Marc Chabot was pretty low-key in response to my solicitation for news. "Well, I got married ...is that news?" Well, Marc, it isn't exactly an update on your dining room wallpaper, but I decided to throw it in just the same. Marc is living in Providence for another year, where his wife is a pediatrician doing her last year of a three-year fellowship in endocrinology. "Otherwise things are quiet-just plugging along trying to finance biotech and med device start-ups and public companies in those sectors," wrote Marc. Congratulations. Karen LeJeal survived the remodeling reported earlier and was headed to Yellowstone National Park and Cape Cod during the summer. "This will be a true test of brotherly love among my three boys! Thank God we have a DVD/ TV in the car!" To underscore the swift passage of time, Karen will soon be the mother of a teenager! The alumni office notes that Andrew Merrill has left his job as a managing director at Abernathy MacGregor Group to run the fmancial practice of Edelman, the Chicago-based PR company. After several relatively short updates, I had planned to make this one a bit more lengthy. However, I got buried in work, as Congress zoomed through a pile of legislation in the closing weeks before its annual August recess-not unlike getting a semester's worth of work during finals. (By the way, you can all breathe a little easier now that Congress declared itself against genocide in the Sudan and in favor of the nanling of a Veterans Administration Outpatient Clinic in Peoria in honor of former Rep. Bob Michel.) In addition, many of you simply had little new to report. I hope that means you are happily busy at work, loving your children, and making a little time for yourselves. Get ready for a pre-Reunion probe into that mundane journey and a report bulging with news and reflections. Be happy and safe.

Jetsy may return to teaching once John is enrolled full time. The Reids welcome any classmates in the area to give a ring and stop by for a drink. Dave Hanak writes in with the brief but notable news that he and his fiancee are planning an October '04 wedding. With more news of great marital events, Jay Gangi has notified us that he and Victoria Munson officially tied the knot on June 18, 2004 in Key West, FL. The wedding ceremony, intended to be a small fanllly affair, was surprisingly disrupted by the untimely arrival of Jay's old Trinity roommates, Bill Markowitz, Dave Schnadig, and Eric Stepper. It would seem that 10 nlinutes before the vows, the ol' quad mates crashed in to say farewell to their buddy. Jay writes that though he nlisses those homeconling Saturdays at Trinity, he is still loving life in the San Francisco Bay area. Joe Scorese of Montvale, NJ, sends word from the rumor nllll that a future Tri11ity alum is expected to arrive this winter on Nantucket. Stay tuned.

Hello, fellow classmates! Summer is upon us, and we hope you are all enjoying this wonderful time of year! The Purdy fanuly has been taking full advantage of the word "vacation," with trips to Gloucester and Colorado squeezed in between fun sununer camps for the kids. We recently hosted a cookout for the fanU!ies of Mo Neylon/McNamara, Robin (Wentz) Chisholm, and Kathy (Lawlor) Morrissey. A fun time was had by all ... even if the children did outnumber the adults! This great barbecue was followed by an awesom.e trip out West to visit the Cary Lyford/John Self fanlliy. They were the perfect hosts at both their Denver home, as well as their newest home high in the Rockies in Tabernash! We had a great time sightseeing, fly-fishing, alpine-ski sliding, and going to the rodeo! It's pretty neat to watch our children play together so nicely. Who would have thought 21 years ago when we all first met, that someday we would be vacationing together with our children! WOW! Enough about us ...however, we did warn you that if we didn't get enough news from all of you ... the next edition of the Reporter would be full of our "thrilling" news! From Atlanta, we received this note from Jeff Durmer: "My fanlliy and I moved from Philadelphia to Atlanta this past sununer (2003). My wife, Anna, and I took new positions at Emory University after being at the University of Pennsylvania for nearly 15 years. I am now in the department of neurology at Emory and direct the Emory Sleep Laboratory and the Children's Healthcare Sleep Program at Egleston Children's Hospital. My wife directs the pediatric neuro-oncology program at CHOA/ Egleston Hospital-the 'boring-nerd couple' jokes continue. Erich Strotbeck '86 was out to visit from his snow-covered Rocky Mountain home in Colorado. We showed him the new house project we started in Decatur, GA, our new home town (and the town that gave us Michael Stipe of REM and many other eccentric art-folk)." Jeff further writes, "I was hoping to fmd Eric Newberg '88, a fellow Pike brother who supposedly lives in Atlanta; no luck so far (Eric give me a call if you read this). So far, we are enjoying the change in latitude (and attitude) after our 'Ivy-league' high-stress days at Penn. Of course, we really miss having everybody close by in NYC/ DC/ Philly, so now we're hoping that our Yankee buddies will come on down and visit. In fact, if any of you are flying through or doing some business down here, give us a call (404) 687-0469. We'll show you where the good bar- b- que is." 8o

Julie Kim Sanderson let us know that after the merger of Fleet Bank and Bank America, she received a package and is no longer at Fleet. Julie writes, "After 17 years in banking, I will be staying home with my three children, Kevin (five), and my two-year-old twin daughters, Laura and O livia. Julie adds that she has kept in touch with Meredith Lynch, Aura Deschamps-Hastings, and Hope Williams over the years. Ellen Anderson Dornelas has worked as a psychologist at Hartford Hospital for the last 10 years. Ellen had the chance to go back to Trinity this year as a panelist for a conference about mental health issues in college students and was really impressed with the caliber of the students at Trinity. Ellen reports, "My girls are lots of fun, ages 12 and six now. We travel to Brazil every couple of years to visit my husband's fanlliy." While she admits that she hasn 't seen too many fellow alums, Ellen writes that, on occasion , she sees Stephanie (Lee) Matthews, who has two beautiful little boys, Erik and Scotty. Maro (Gyftopoulos) Desjardins checked in from the Lone Star State. "We are about to move from San Antonio to Tulsa, OK! My husband, Mark, is going to be the head of a pre-k through 12th school named Holland Hall. It is a wonderful school and all four of our children; Daphne (10), Chloe (eight), Elias (four) , and Lucas (two) will be able to go there. Eventually, I would like to start teaching French again when Lucas gets a bit older. We are up in Boston every surnn1er; it would be so great to see some old friends -one of Mark's Christmas presents was a Sox-Yankees game this summer-he is also a major fan. While I never imagined I would live in Oklahoma, it is hard to believe that I have been in Texas for the last eight years, and that my two boys are Texans! Scary! Our fanlliy life is definitely a bit crazy, but it is the best job I've ever had!" Maro goes on to write that she is in touch with Ginny Rowan , who got married a year and a half ago and is living in Greenwich CT. She was teaching art at Brunswick and is now pursuing her many artistic talents-painting, knitting, and selling her stuff, which is in high demand. Maro has also heard from Themis Klarides. Erica (Lewis) Cahill wrote from Acton, MA, where she is living with her husband and two children, Gretchen (seven) , and Eliza (five). Erica is working at Harvard University, heading up a program management group within a central IT group. Erica writes, "It's great work, and between working full-time, volunteering at my daughter's schools, and sports activities, our plates are very full. I periodically see Betsy (Bothwell) Stepp as her son and my daughter attend the same preschool. Betsy is doing well, living in Stow with her husband and two boys." Chip Rhodes has returned to the East Coast. Chip, his wife, Stephanie, and their two children, Grace (four), and Henry (two months) moved into a beautiful old Victorian house in Longmeadow, MA. He will be the chair of the English department at Western New England College. Chip's second book, Love and Hate in Hollywood, will be out next year. .. probably. Arturo Valldejuly Sastre checked in from the sunny Caribbean. "Everything is fine! Well, maybe a little too hot. Still working as a financial consultant for Popular Securities in San Juan. Anyone coming this way, I would love to take around town, etc. Greg Mario and fanlliy came to town last March, and Lou Bou did the same in May. We really had a great time. Last December, I ran into J.P. Bruynes in Stowe, VT, by coincidence. We had a few laughs and great skiing. Just turned 40 last December, and so far mid-life crisis hasn't struck me too hard, or that's what I think. Will have to ask my wife about that! " Arturo also noted that his 15th wedding anniversary is coming up this year. Congratulations' On the baby front, Julie (Simon) Tracey and her husband, Mick,

announced the arrival of baby Sara. She was born on June 20, 2004 (Father's Day) weighing in at 7 lbs., 12 oz. and 20 inches long. How's that for a Father's Day present? From the pictures we have seen, we can attest that Sara is adorable. Sara's big brothers are quite proud of their new sister. Shamelessly borrowing from the Class of 1986's notes from the spring 2004 Reporter, we pass along the news that Phoebe (McBride) Madden gave birth on March 13, 2004 to twins, Hope Elizabeth and John Brendan Madden. "Big brother, Philip, is psyched to finally have siblings around." The alumni office has received news about three classmates: Joanne Gallo is working on Northern Ireland peace issues at the Walsh Visa Program in Reston, VA, where she is manager of participant operations. Currently, her focus is on program policies and oversight of the implementation of conflict resolution curriculum. Kathy Morrissey is a member of the Naugatuck (CT) Board of Education. This spring, Rep.Themis Klaridis, R-Derby (CT), was recognized as a distinguished graduate at the commencement ceremonies of Seymour (CT) High School. As always, thank you to everyone who sent in news. For now you have spared your classmates from the "Tales of the Purdy's Chipmunk Problem" and its sequel, "Why Is My Tree Shedding Its Leaves in July?" There is always the winter edition of the Reporter, however, so unless you want to be regaled with such thrilling sagas, we recommend that you send us some news ... and lots of it!

The charity event was a success, and the funds raised will go to the scholarship established in his name, which supports a Trinity student interested in teaching underprivileged and inner city kids. Some of those in attendance were Constantine Andrews, Jeff Baskies, John Burke and his wife, Peta, Mark Galley, Mark Palladino, Erik Johnson, Scott Brownell, Kevin Charleston, Dave Provost, Bryant McBride, Dawn Fronzaglia, and Bill Carroll and Will Demas '90. Mter the event, John Burke hosted everyone back at his Manchester home. As for those of you who were wondering what Ian Loring is up to, I suggest you keep your eyes on the party lines column in the Boston Globe. I noticed Ian and his wife, Isabelle '87 , attended a charity ball that raised over $300,000 for a foundation fighting blindness. The Globe either air brushed the photograph or the picture was taken in the Washington Room in 1987, because Ian and Isabelle did not look a day over 22. Tom Broderick and his wife, Nancy, had an addition to the fan1ily. Abigail Sophia Broderick now joins her two older sisters. Tom will now have to expand one of his business ventures that sells custom men's clothing to also include women's wear.

Jeff, I hope Tom gave you the "Trinity discount"he gives me. He must give the Trinity discount to Jeff, because it was Jeff who was seen recently at Foxwoods with fellow classmates, Sean McHugh and Dino . It is said that all three of them made generous contributions to the Native American Society. Recently, I bumped into Jen Brewster while I was in Dedham. For anyone who needs to know the local gossip as to who is getting in trouble in the Massachusetts courts, you can simply call Jen, as her morning walks with her children take her right by the local courthouse, so I an1 sure she has some good gossip for all of us. Gina Doyle and her husband, Mike Doyle '87 , announce the addition of another future Bantan1 to the Doyle household . Will Doyle was born thjs summer and had already enrolled in skating lessons for the winter. Will joins big sister, Katie, and big brother, Jack. And now from someone we haven't heard from in a while, but who is never at a loss for words: Mr. Robert Loeber. "The phone rings .. .I pick up the phone .. . on the line is our esteemed Class secretary, Joe Cataldo. Rjght away I realjze something's up. There's urgency to Joe's voice, and it's very apparent he's in a panic. 'Bob, you have to help me. When I signed up for this secretary gig, I thought my responsibility was to provide a Class sentence, not Class notes. Do you realize how much more work goes into notes compared to a sentence?' My answer to Joe was ... if the last edition of the Trinity Reporter is any indication, I'd say a lot more work. So, out of loyalty to Joe and in an attempt to bring some dignity back to the Class of '88, I'm coming out of retirement and an1 officially back in the Class notes business. "So, let's see what's going on . . .besides writing one-sentence Class notes, Joe Cataldo has officially moved out of Franklin and now lives in Norfolk (Massachusetts not Virginia). Joe moving out of Franklin is like the Fonz not living above the Cunninghams, it's just doesn't seem right .. .speaking of homes, my fan1ily had the good fortune to visit the Broderick family over the July 4th weekend in Tommy's new summer digs in Seabrook. First of all, spending a day with the three Broderick brothers is an event in itself. You better bring your A game with that crew, because nothing slips through the cracks. They let you know exactly what they're thinkjng, and it's usually nothing good. As for Tommy's new abode, it's nothing short of awesome. He's come a long way from the North Campus days hving in a one-room sweatbox with Joe ... keeping with the home theme we recently bought a new house in Chelmsford. Our attorney for the transaction was none other than Dave Murray. Dave did a fantastic job talking to my wife on the phone for 16 hours a day, but we were a little surprised by the clause in our contract stating that we legally had to have Dave's portrait hanging over the fireplace ... my fellow Chelmsford resident is none oilier than Wally "World" Wrobel. We bumped into each other at the local Staples the other day and swapped some landscaping tips. This was a very different conversation than the ones we used to have in the Crow basement .. . Mike Anderson, Bill Kenney , and David Provost now have 13 kids among them. That is not a typo. I'd like to add a silly comment here but is that really necessary? ... also, it has recently been discovered that the character of Jeff from the Wiggles is based on Dave Provost's life, and that David actually wrote the words to the song, "Fruit Salad (yummy yummy)" ...

In case anyone forgot, Sledge's real name is Bryant McBride ... as for me I'm still selling wine in the restaurant world. The job entails food , booze, and talking to people. Those happen to be three things l excel at, so there are no complaints on that front. As for the family, my wife, Kerry, and I have a 17-month-old son by the name of Joey. He has perfected the art of not napping and we're very proud of his ability to jump from one couch to another while only sustaining minimal injuries. By the way, his first words were 'Tom Brady.' Ahhh, the joys of parenthood .. "That's it for now. Until the next edition-Loebs." Thanks, Bob, but I would have never imagined you would have known the words to a Wiggles song. If anyone else is interested in being a guest columnist, feel free to forward some entertaining material to me. In the meantime, the alumni office has news about one alum and a report from another: Bryant M cBride is featured in the June 2004 edition of the Network j oumal. Andrew Pitts writes, "Dismayed by the meager gruel (Flik would be proud) being served up as Class of 1988 news (no offense to our humble Class secretary who undoubtedly suffers from the general failure of our classmates to provide suitable edible ingredients), Andy Pitts offers up his own id-fueled update: Pitts (speaking of himself uncharacteristically in the third person) lives in Greenwich, CT, with his wife, Kirsten, and two red-headed daughters, Lindsey the Fair (five), and Laurel the Fairer (two). He reports that his older daughter derives great pleasure from, among other things, pointing to the spires of the Trinity Chapel as the family station wagon traverses the Route 84/ Route 91 interchange in H artford from time to time ('Mommy and Daddy were married there,' she says). When not manning the trenches as an ' up and coming' (i.e., not quite there yet) corporate lawyer in New York or noodling through the daily 'express train vs. bar car' arbitrage so well known to the Metro North commuter, Pitts can be found idling away on Long Island Sound in a small Boston Whaler. Pitts quickly adds that his ownership of a Whaler in no way constitutes an endorsement of the Presidential candidate who reportedly also owns one, stating, ' I hear he also owns a Harley, but still wouldn't vote for him'."

Taney Farley, a consulting firm for the advertising industry. The news of twins continues from Claudia Farans Morse and husband, Doug '83 , who have older twins, Alex and Emily, and a younger son, Mathew. Charlotte also reported that Armando Diaz and his wife, Dawn, live in Ridgewood , NJ, and have two boys, Spencer and Parker. Lisa Connelly Gillin and her husband, Matt, live outside Philadelphia while renovating a new house and raising their brotherly duo, Nate and Ben. Ed Osborne and his wife, Kim, live outside of D.C. with their son, Eli. Also, Mike Riley and his wife, Robin , live in Seattle with daughter, Mara, and son, Ben. On the professional front, Charlotte reports that Dedee Wilson Scheri and her husband, Tad, are working as doctors in Pittsburgh. Gail Mclaughlin Peck was promoted to vice president/ treasurer at Centex in Dallas, where she lives with her husband, Rich. Many of us have caught glimpses of Mara Buxbaum's name, as she is a partner of her own PR company, ID-PR, with a group of"A" list clients (names I will not repeat without her permission). On th e wedding front, I am told that many Trinity friends helped Mike Vitale celebrate his wedding in NYC to wife, Andrea, on Valentine's D ay, 2003. I heard, as well, from Paul Stanton who reports that he lives in East Hampton, CT, with his wife, Suzanne, and three kids, (Chad, age six, and fraternal twins, Jodi and Brett, age four). Just recently, they moved to a house close to a beautiful lake. Paul is currently a principal planner at a Hartford-based firm in the field of environmental planning/ engineering consulting. Paul stays in touch with the elusive Dave Federman , who recently moved to a new home close enough to be a member of Doral in Florida. Becky Holt has checked in with news that she is now a private tutor for kids with learning difficulties, particularly those who hate reading, in NYC, after living for nine years in Seattle. Amy Paulson Herstek has sent an update that after 12 years in D.C., she just graduated from law school in Buffalo and heads off to work at the great Buffalo frrm of Jaeckle, Fleischmann and Mugel. Amy and her husband had a baby boy, Dylan, last year. It is worth noting that her previous career was as a journalist for the N ational Journal and CNN. I heard from Lisa Abshire Pojano in Trabuco Canyon, CA, that she just had a second son, Julian, four months ago. She and husband, Cristian, are considering a move back to Connecticut. Jonas Katkavich reports that he completed his doctoral degree in clinical psychology in September 2003 at the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology and last month finished his postdoctoral training at the Human Relations Service in Wellesley, MA. Jonas works with children age six through 12 presenting a variety of mental health concerns, and he plans to build a private psychotherapy practice. He and his wife, Kate, have a ten-year-old son, Jack, and a son, Henry, who will be two in September. Also, I heard from Michelle Monti-Hartin in Norton, MA, who, among others, I did not get a chance to say " hello" to at Reunion. She has been working in Boston at Health Dialog for five years and is a project manager, overseeing projects in video, print, and Web about medical conditions. Her daughter, Haley, is three years old and a

"blast." Michelle reports that Steve Whitston is developing a cute line of animal puppets that he hopes to sell through local craft co-ops in the Cambridge and Somerville, MA, areas. Jay Flemma e-mailed that he is researching a book on great American public courses by playing golf. He got a chance to further his research by visiting John Klein Robbenhaar, who is married and has rwo daughters, in New Mexico. Jay continues his career in entertainment law, focusing more on film , TV, and the Internet than music, his historical specialty. Alex Petron, M.D. and his wife, Marion, had rwin girls, Eva and Alexis, on October 5, 2002. He lives in Franklin Lakes, NJ, and works as a pediatrician responsible for running the inpatient unit at the Goryeb Children's Hospital in Morristown, NJ. Julia Lowry Bezona reports that she is studying for the Connecticut bar exam. Good lu ck to her. Craig Easterbrook tells us that all is well in sunny Charleston, SC. He and his wife, Claudia, are expecting their first child in September. Also, I heard from Allyn Magrino Holmberg who moved to New Canaan, CT, from NYC in June with her husband and children (Max, age three and one-half, and Annika, age 15 months). Allyn founded the Susan Magrino Agency, a public relations fLrm, with her sister, 12 yea rs ago. Clients include luxury hotels in Paris, London, and the Caribbean, lm:ury goods companies, and major fashion brands. The agency has grown from just the rwo of them to 23 people. Allyn stays in touch with Jenny Cooper, who is a sweater designer. Juliana Ramirez has relocated to Honolulu with Merrill Lynch , for whom she has worked 15 years. It sounds beautiful, but expensive. Chris Dickinson has checked in with news that he and wife, Donna Haghighat, move to Surrey, England on August 5. He has taken a new position as product director for the UK office ofThe Hartford, and Donna will be joining The Hartford as an event planner. As they have reported previously, their four-year-old, Madeline, and rwo-yearold, William, are already planning to be Class of 2018 and 2020, respectively. Another classmate with whom l did not get a good chance to catch up with at Reunion, Jonathan Cox, comes in with news of leaving Goldman Sachs after nine years. He is starting a private equity business with a partner--still in NYC. l received an e-mail just in time from Suzanne Curley who sounds great and reported seeing some of the same gang Charlotte had mentioned at Gail's baby shower for her rwins. Also in attendance was Cindy Lewis, who is living in Boston 's North End and working at Digitas, a marketing/ advertising firm. Suzanne also reports seeing Orla O'Riordan with her newborn son, Gavin, who joins sister Ava in Orla's household, and Liz Rully Schruender, who lives in San Diego with her husband and rwo children, Allison and Jack. Her e-mail also caught me up on Katie Agnew Lyons (living in New Jersey with her husband and son, Hastings), Eileen Neilen Carney (living in Massachusetts with her husband and three children), and Lauren Deluca Loughlin (who we know is married to Jim, Class of'87, has rwo children, and continues to work for Liz Claiborne in Connecticut). Suzanne, herself, is still living in Boston, working as an occupational therapist at Mass General where she got to treat some of the Super Bowl Champion Patriots. Also, she does some consulting in marketing and business development with former colleagues from Bain. The alumni office received a copy of Th e Litd!field Times Monthly , Jan. 30, 2004 edition. An article in the publication describes the furniture designed by Pilar Proffitt and her partner, which they sell at their storefront business, Poesis, in Norfolk, CT.

l, myself, live in Sharon, MA, with Nikki and my sons Matthew (three and one-hal~ and Coby (one and one-half) and work as a fmancial adviser at UBS Financial, which purchased PaineWebber a few years ago-at the same desk and phone number for the last 12 years. I have much more info for the nel\1: edition from people with last names hke Gandal, Lyon, Leary, Belber, Ryan, Cohen, Miele, Cromwell, Lewis, and Stebbins, but l will pressure them to send an e-mail if they want to see their name in lights . I am picking up many more e-mail addresses as we speak and hope to be more comprehensive in the furure. Thanks to all who have contacted me.

Alumni F und Goal: 50,000 Class Secretar y : Sara Moorin Lang, 5616 Glen Forest Dr., Charlotte, NC 28226-8138 e-mail: sara.lang.1990@trincoll.edu Class Agen ts: Suzanne E. Carroll; Alexis Brashich Morledge; W James Murphy Greetings, classmates! By the tin1e you read this, our Reunion vvill be less than nine months away! Our Class president, Greg Johnson , writes, "! have been working with the alumni relations office to identify missing classmates so we can get in touch with as many as possible. [ would be psyched if anyone would be willing to help make calls and drum up the Reunion and some fundraising. Anyone willing to volunteer, feel free to give me a call (215-640-4177) or send me an e-mail (gregory.johnson@ace-ina.com). I'm personally looking forward to Reunion , but it will be here before you know it." Consider helping out with the Reunion effort.You get the chance to reconnect with people who used to be a part of your daily life. I can tell you from personal experience that it is very fun to reconnect and be reminded that you went to school with a lot of great people. My family and l just returned from our yearly northern trip, where we were able to catch up with lots of friends. I had a great birthday lunch with Cindy Woosnam Ketchum, Gail Fein burg Brussel, and Martha Willoughby. l got to see lots of sweet pictures of Cindy's daughter, Catherine (one, by the time you read this), and I saw Gail's son, Harry, in the flesh. Both are very cute. Gail started her own book promotion company. It is called Gail Brussel Book Publicity. She is a freelance book publicist, primarily for literary fiction and nonfiction authors. Martha's business is still going well, and she's still very active in the sailing world. As with many New Yorkers, Cindy was in the throes of trying to find somewhere to live, but l am sure that will be settled by the time you read this! I was lucky to see Julie Virdone Finch not once, but rwice. She was so nice to spend time with me when she was in the throes of moving to Wynnewood, PA. Chris '92 has new job in advertising. Anna and Henry are both great children. Anna is seven, and Henry is four. They are both very sweet and very good at sharing their toys. We had a cookout with Bernie Lee '88 and his children, Owen and Paige, and Tasa Nagashima '88 , and Wendy Salustro '88, and their rwo boys, Carson and Cole. All of the children are happy and healthy. And their parents are all well, too. Bernie and his family live in Glastonbury, CT. Bernie is a stay-at-home dad. Tasa and Wendy live in Fairfield, CT. Tasa works as a school psychologist in Waterbury, and Wendy works at Playtex in Westport. I can't give you any specific details because we were all chasing children running in different directions.

After my previous pleading, two people rook pity on me and sent in updates. One of them was from Carrie Thall. "I got married on April 5th to my long-time guy, Aidan. We had immediate family, only, at our event, but Aidan has a large fantily (10 sibs + spouses + kids), so we had about 42 people--enough to make it lively and festive. Aidan is originally from Dublin, Ireland, so the whole to-do was over there-a great adventure for my family and a lovely setting. We had an absolutely blissful blast on the day; and I looked awesome, ifl do say so myself!" She sent some wedding pictures as an attachment and, as an unbiased third party, I agree with her assessment of what a lovely bride she was. "In other news, we're in the process of buying a new house in the Roslindale section of Boston-a sort of up-and-coming/ newly arrived area, and a bit leafier and more open than where we are now (Can1bridge). The house is up on a hill with great views over the trees to the Boston skyline-really dreamy, and I can't wait to move there! ''I'm also in the process of getting my own interior design business up and running, so that's exciting for me, as well. I have a few good jobs on the go, and, meanwhile, am still working freelance at the firm I've been with for four years. I hope to transition to more and more of my own stuff in the corning months-and my new tree-top home office will help! " My achievements are incredibly modest, and I like them that way-I'm president of nothing and won't ever earn over $100,000 a year, but I have a wonderful husband, an easy life, and interesting work-no complaints! " Melissa Gold is always an excellent source of information, and she was my second responder. " We are great. Sophie is three and Ben is nine months already and doing the army/c rab crawl. Sophie adores her little brother. It is so fun to have two kids. "I attended Tim Callahan's wedding on May 1, 2004 at the Fairmont Copley Plaza in Boston, which was a blast. He married a lovely woman named Marie Sntith. In attendance were: Chris Pouncey and his wife, Victoria, Julie Holt and her husband, Melissa O'Neill, Mike Pangan and his wife, Andy Steinberg and his wife, Beth Capaldi and her husband (she just got married), Elya Schwartzman and his wife, and Scott English and Olivia Bingham English. Unforrunately, Will and I missed the ceremony because our fught was cancelled, so we grabbed a rental car at La Guardia and drove up, just making it to the reception. Tim and Marie were both glowing and seemed so incredibly happy. It was so nice to catch up with everyone." I was so glad to see Liz Horn's name in my inbox. After about 15 years, she had a lot to tell." After Trinity, l lived in Washington, DC, for almost four years, working at the American Film Institute. Then I came up to NYC (where I've lived ever since) in the fall of 1994 to do a master's in cinema srudies at NYU. l worked in documentaries until 2002, and then l made a career transition-! am working in development (writing grant proposals) at an edu cational nonprofit organization. For a bunch of reasons, it was a really good move, although I still love film and documentaries. In May 2001, I married Shawn Shimpach-we met in our master's program; he just fmished his Ph.D. in cinema srudies and is an adjunct professor at NYU. On Feb. 16, 2004, I gave birth to our daughter, Lily, who is just a great joy to us. We are still learning every day about this parenthood thing, but it is incredibly fun and rewarding. I have just returned to my job .part-rime, which I was very glad I was able to work out so that I can spend most of my time with Lily and still maintain some work life." I was glad to hear that things are going so well for Elizabeth Hines

Scott and Olivia Bingham English, as well as children, Nicholas (fo ur) and Grace (21 months), are looking forw路ard to the summer arrival. Jenny Rider and I had a symbiotic relationship going when she called from a phonathon. For a small donation, I was able to get an update on her life. She is in NYC, enjoying her new job as executive speechwriter at the New York Tim es. It was great to catch up with her. Her voice sounds exactly the same and sent me catapulting back to my daily Cave run. Anne Stuart Moser sent me an update. "I have a new job as the director of development for the University of Georgia School of Law. It is an excellent law school that boasts a talented student body and an accomplished faculty. Our daughter, Evelyn, is a real joy-walking and saying meow. We hope to expand her vocabulary.

Meg Watters , scholar by day, adventure star by night, writes, "The new TV series that I have been filming is currently being broadcast in the UK and Europe (not the States, unfortunately). It is called Extreme Archaeology and is based on the premise of a team of specialized archaeologists working on sites that are difficult to access and many times are under threat, thus our work in many of the cases was what we call 'rescue archaeology'. " I was one of the three-member archaeology team, all women, to work on these sites. My area of specialization is remote sensing and laser imagi ng techniques. We had an extreme sports delivery team who were responsible for getting us, our equipment, and the filming crew into each site safely.

Leaping rungs on the career ladder is Alix Ogden . She is the Providence, RI , parks superintendent. In a glowing article in The Providence ] ollmal, Alix was lauded as a "global thinker who personifies a wonderful merger of passion for parks with public policy credentials .... It seems Ogden will interact splendidly with the rest of the city's policy team." And to think I knew Alix when she personified a wonderful merger between acadentic achievement and Pitcher Night at the View ....

I've been teaching for the last five years. Prior to that, I taught in Venezuela for three years. The weather in Dar is perfect, the beaches are gorgeous, and the diving is incredible. And there's nothing quite like spending the weekend camping, surrounded by the sound of roaring lions ... Much of my time is spent traveling and seeing the world-over 45 countries since graduation' Highlights have included wild-water rafting and river boarding on the Zambezi in Zimbabwe, tracking gorillas in Uganda, hiking to Machu Picchu in Peru , diving in the Red Sea, and getting lost in the jungles of Mozambique. One of my proudest moments (other than surviving the jungle debacle) came last Christmas when I made it to the top of Mount K.ilimanjaro, over 19,000 feet. I'll be in Tanzania at least another year, then who knows? It's a big world out there ... That's it-! think we are all on summer break! I am sure there will be more news in the next issue!

new litde babes in their lives. May they be blessed with health and joie de vivre!" Betsy Ludwig Abdallah is still living and working in London. In April, she and her husband had a baby daughter named Isabelle. They love their new life as parents and are "getting used to a sleep challenged existence." Betsy can be reached across the Pond at home: +44 207 565 4746 or betsy.ludwig@alumn.i.insead.edu. Susan ("Susie") Grace Davis writes, "Just a brief update for my fellow Lemon Squeezers-Class of 1992. Th.is February, I became an equity member (partner) at my law firm (Miller, Johnson , Snell & C ununiskey, P.L.C.) in Grand Rapids, MI. It is one of the largest in western Michigan. I do commercial and complex civil litigation, and manufacturing and aviation law. Last spring, I bought my firSt house. It is in East Grand Rapids, MI. It was built in the 1920s and has lots of character. I am really enjoying being a homeowner and the area. l am near several in-land lakes and Lake Michigan, w hich is great because I love to be out on the water (sailing, boating, etc.), and I love the beach (yes, we have beaches in Michigan). I spend many weekends there and at our family cottage in northern Michigan. I am still single and loving it. Life is good here in Michigan. My best to all my Trinity buds." I also had a great phone call from Tracy Tobin (sorry, I forgot your married name). Tracy noticed the 310 area code of my phone number and realized that I live not too far from her out here in LA. Tracy updated me on all her activities since Trinity, most recendy getting married and moving to LA from NY. We had a long conversation and many laughs about the challenges facing East Coast transplants. If memory serves me, both Tracy and her husband are in the film business. They are both enjoying the warm weather and what I'm sure is a beautiful home. Finally, in other baby news, I am pleased to report th e birth of three more Bantan1 babies. Jeff Nowak and his wife, Cristen, welcomed their second daughter. Eleanor (Ellie) joins older sister Grace. In addition, Anne Weeks gave birth to a daughter, Nina.

Akasie II ; Mimi D. Anderson; Lex.i Rice Carr; Stephen R. Cu rley; Jonathan E. Heuser; Hillary Vars Whelan Greetings, all. I hope that you've been enjoying a nice sununer. My wife, as the member-in-good-standing of the academic world that she is, gets the summer " off," which makes me somewhat jealous. The thing about having so much free time, though, is that I'm not sure that you can really appreciate it. It's like the seasons ... would you enjoy sununer as much if there were no winter for contrast? Could you appreciate day without night? So that's why I'm glad I don't have the whole sunm1er off. I wouldn't appreciate it. Though, to be honest, I'd be willing to give it a try .. . So, while we're on the topic-what has everyone been doing this summer? Here's what a few of your classmates have been up to. Rachel (Schreier) and Charlie Schewe have recendy relocated back to

the Boston area and will (by the time you read this) be living in Milton, MA. Charlie is still with American Airlines and has a new position with the company in Boston; on top of the big move, the two are expecting their second child in late August. "It has been a whirlwind summer so far," writes Rachel, "and I don't expect it to slow down any time soon." Rachel did manage to take a few minutes from her schedule to let us know that Bisa Player is engaged to be married in April of2005 out in sunny Palo Alto, CA, and "we are all very much looking forward to it." Also, Sarah Fridy Hellwege and her husband, John, welcomed a son, Cole, this spring, joining big sister, Leah. Another new arrival is Reagan Norton, who arrived in late July to join mother, Liz Sassi Norton , her husband, Jack, and big sis, Kelsey. Rachel recalled that earlier in the sununer, she and Charlie and got together with Denise Tsiumis Gibbons and her husband, Craig, at their place in Millis along with Sandy Silliman Giardi, Mike Giardi , and their one-year-old, Tessa, as well as Angela DeNicola Player and her two-yearold Nicole. "Everyone is great, and the kiddos had a ball," she reports. Another summer move was Sara (Titus '94) and Piper Skelly who headed out from the windy city to Philadelphia ... back on the eastern seaboard after a number of years in Chicago. Piper is starting a fellowship at University of Pennsylvania. When they got married, Sara certainly knew Piper would be a doctor one day, but who could have guessed she'd have to wait 27 years for him to finish his training? In other doctor news, Britt Stockton observes that these are the "Baby Years," and as such had some stories of her own to offer. She has "swapped naked-bottom-at-bath time pies with Ran, been a stroller monuny with Ashlyn and the lovely, blond-curled Tessa around the Jamaica Pond, and hears that many others are joining the club." Britt and Bernie (Britt's husband) are enjoying the end of their first year back in Boston; he joined the BI Deaconess Plastic Surgery department, and Britt is taking another year (at least) hiatus from surgical residency "to grow a little brother for our now one-year-old son, Brodie. Being a stay-at-home mom remains weird after being in medical training for so long," she writes, "but is inftnitely more rewarding than answering to a beeper." She "still sees the gorgeous and hilarious Nicole whenever her scientific creation patent law-ish job permits. She has the most adorable house and remains happily married to Murali who is in the middle of his cardiology fellowship at Mass General." Down in New York, Lynn Wolff is well, and mentions that she recently saw Dr. Candy (Caton) del Prado and her two kids, who, reportedly, are "very cute." Lynn related one of those great small world stories-in a work-related situation, Lynn ended up speaking with a person named McRae Williams which, as she rightly points out, isn't a name you run into every day. It turns out that this McRae Williams was not our classmate, but rather a cousin of McRae's that he hadn't seen in some time. Close to the Hudson River, Susan (Olsen) Rusconi and husband, John, recently bought an apartment and moved to the Upper West Side. "It has been a little crazy," Susan writes, "but we are enjoying the new place and being so close to Central Park." While splitting time between New York and Los Angeies, newly betrothed Audrey Brashich is writing a book! Presently untitled, it's a "media literacy I empowerment/ body image book that will help younger teen girls (ages 12-15) get un-star struck by deconstructing today's media environment and offering them smart alternatives." It will be out in fall 2005 if Audrey can meet all her deadlines, and as a diligent Trinity alumna I am sure that she can do it. She's also been writing these days for Teen People, YM, and Cosmo Girl. She reports that

she " made it to a Trinity alumni event in NYC in April and met a bunch of incoming freshmen. Very fun to see their enthusiasm for Trinity as old guard alums told tales of the Lemon Squeezer, etc." It's always great to hear that our classmates are participating in these events. Whatever we can do to help strengthen the school's present and future, while certainly helping today's students, also helps the alumni and our resumes as well .. . From the way-out West Coast, Emily Murphy checks in from Los Angeles where she is producing a movie-of-the-week "while also being a stay-at-home (for the most part) mom to 16-month-old Gracie. There are times that reasoning with agents is harder than reasoning with a pre-verbal child! Sunny LA is great nonetheless." Emily planned to head out to Vail, CO, to see Katie (Abel) Aquino and her four-month-old daughter, Lucie, where Katie and Lucie will be visiting Katie's parents. Finally, Emily reports that Mimi Anderson has moved back to DC before heading to Yale Business School this fall. Best of luck, Mimi. Back on the East Coast, and then a short distance up the Connecticut River, Matt Drinkwater continues to keep an eye on Gallows Hill for us, and is helping to prepare the next generation of Bantams. He and his wife, Adrienne, had a baby girl, Laura Danielle Drinkwater, on April 26 in Hartford. Congratulations to you both. Lisa Perdval writes in with exciting news: Baby #2, Ethan James, arrived on May 10 at a whopping nine pounds, nine ounces. Wow! She's been "home enjoying the summer with my two little guys!" Down South, Lisa Vargas Sellers enjoyed a busy and hot summer in sultry Savannah, with a heat index ranging up to 110. What do you do in that situation-turn on the oven to cool down your house? She went back home to New York City at the end of June and drove up to Connecticut for a friend's wedding. "Driving up the Merritt Parkway always brings back memories of old Trin-friends," she noted. Lisa's son, Louis, is "starting pre-k in August and boy has he grown this summer: three-quarters of an inch in two months! He loves to get on the computer and play. It's amazing that at three (almost four) he knows how to type his name and use a mouse to get around online. Playhouse Disney is his favorite ." Ladies and gentlemen, prepare to be dated: do you recall that while we were in college there was no e-mail? Pardon my interruption. Lisa continues to say that, "Glenn and I have been enjoying Fri.c!_ays off-while Louis is at summer camp-hiking, kayaking, or relaxing on the beach. It's been great! It's nice to finally have some quality alone time after three years ... it's kind of like our date day!" Newly minted (or mint juliped?) Southerners Lisa and Glenn "are hoping to head up to North Carolina this fall to spend some time in Asheville then head over to Wilmington to visit Serena Lau and Craig TenBrink." Zipping back up to the Big Apple, we find that singing siren Jamie Weisberg notes that her sunu11er has been good, "but a challenge so far. I am just getting over a case of acute tonsillitis, which is never fun, especially before two gigs, but I will persevere! Thank God for penicillin!" A decades-old cry from both soldiers and, I guess, singers too.

Atlanta with his bride, Katie. Also in Atlanta are Milo Cogan and Susie (Dyson) Cogan '93 . Milo is a lawyer, and they have a one-year old son, Finn, whose favorite play toy this summer is the garden hose. In the DC area, Cristina Bonaca loves her job with the government. Cristina keeps stressing that she likes being in the public sector. I'm sure DC will be a crazy place this fall. The word on the street is that Will Sargisson is pursuing his MBA at Georgetown University, Moving up the eastern seaboard, Michael Raffin and Minna (Kim) Raffin '93 are living in Lamberrville, NJ, and have a son, Max. Michael is writing some sort of crazy propaganda for medical journals, and Minna is a brand manager for feminine products at Johnson & Johnson.

Crady (Hilgenberg) Seymour is back in her hometown of Baltimore. She and her husband have a little girl, Charlotte, and a boy on the way this fall. l think I remember hearing Heather Burnside also saying that she was in Baltimore. Of course, the Big Apple is fu.ll ofTrinity folks . We have a few w ho are making their mark on the world of high fashion. Anne (Kwon) Keane is a senior market editor at Lucky magazine. You can see Anne's picture monthly in the magazine, as they have her highlight her top fashion picks every month.

Kim just received another promotion and will be helping to manage a few labels in the Herrera family.

She is still enjoying New York and is recently married. Liz (Mayorga) and husband, Paolo Barbosa '93 , are also still in New York, working and deciding on next steps in their lives. Amy (McGill) Dilatush was at Reunion as well. She has a little boy and is enjoying being a mom in the city. Dan Helmick I believe is in NYC. He still had his smile about him at Reunion and seems to be doing well. In Connecticut, Angela (Latina) Gilberta is enjoying married life and is looking forward to a ttip around Europe with her husband. Jenn (Reagan) McCleery I believe is still in the New Haven area and was at Reunion with her husband and two little boys. Eric and Duffy (Wilson) Mudry are in Guilford.

Patty Sarmuk and best friend, Barbara (BJ) Toolan, were proposed to only a month apart from each other. Patty's fiance, William Canny, proposed at the sunmtit of Mt. Washington this past fall. Patty married her fiance on May 22 on the beach at Stanclift Cove in Connecticut. Patty is getting ready to be in Barbara Toolan's wedding to Mark Constantine in Eastchester, NY, on July 31. Paul Wasserman had lots of news to report. In 2000, he had started his own Internet company and was lucky enough to sell it early on to a company (Workspeed) doing the exact same thing. In August of2003, Workspeed reached profitability and, once it did, Paul rook the opportunity to travel around the world for five months. He writes, "The trip was, as you would expect, amazing and life-changing. l traveled to Europe, Africa , the Middle East, South East Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. Along the way l got to do some pretty cool stufflike chug espresso in Lisbon, follow the steps ofJane Goodall in the Gombe National Forrest, climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, play golf at the Pyranuds, swim with sharks in the Indian Ocean, rock the famo us Full Moon Party in Thailand, bribe conmmnist officials in Vietnam, ring in the new year in Sydney, skydive and bungee jump in New Zealand, and surf the beaches of Hawaii. Paul visited Nathan Sage '92 in Hanoi, Vietnam. athan is currently working with the U.S. Embassy as part of USAJD, funding environn1ental conservation projects in Vietnam. Paul writes, "Nate and l played some golf with the U.S. Ambassador, drank some snake

wine, and fought the never-ending moped traffic. I also visited Doug Wisor in Hastings, New Zealand. Doug is living the good life as winemaker at Craggy R ange Vineyards. He has a great house on the beach (where he kite surfS often), a loyal dog, and loving girlfriend and goes to 'work' in a short-sleeved shirt to figure out how to distribute, market, manufacture, and improve the quality of their award-winning wines. Oh, and let's not forget... all of this takes place in the beautifuJ country of New Zealand (and, yes, it does look like Lord of the Rings there ... except without the talking trees and flames of Mordor). I also just happened to run into Luke McGrath '92 , who was on his honeymoon, on the flight from Bangkok to Sydney. What are the odds? He's living in the City and working at the law f1rm White & Case." PauJ is back living in BrookJyn and trying to figure out what he shouJd do next (which is why he finally has the time to write for the Class Notes). Lastly, PauJ writes, "If there are any aJumni out there who need my skills, they hopefully know where to find me." Oh, wait, there is more news from Paul. ... thanks for saving my butt and writing in so much for this edition, Paul! " Bart Bettencourt and Mel Lear had a baby boy. The family is doing well in their Williamsburg BrookJyn apartment with their two dogs weighing a combined 200+ lbs. Bart's woodworking business is doing very well, and his work has been showcased in several exhibits throughout the City. Thomas Elia (a .k.a. Norm) is doing well, living with his girlfriend in the West Village and working as a copywriter at Deutsch Advertising. Paul Tedesco was recently engaged! That's right, Paul Tedesco. I'm still in shock over this, because I think tlus means I am the last single guy from our Class. Charlie Adams is still chillin' out in San Diego with his wife, Katie. We all keep hoping that he'll move back to NYC, but he just laughs and then goes to the beach in the nuddle of February. Steven Gonzalez has moved up to Seattle with his wife, Amy. Amy recently was accepted to architecture school up there, and Steve is being the good supportive husband. Ria Mendoza was married in October; however, I nlissed the wedding because of my trip." Andy Pyper writes, "Mandy had our baby on February 5, which was very exciting. Her name is Ellie Grace Pyper and she was seven pounds, eight ounces, and 21.5 inches long. Both mom and baby are doing great and, thankfully, she looks just like her mother. Haven't really seen that many people lately as having a baby puts a little bit of a damper on your social life, but I did get together with Alex Ladd, Katherine Ladd (Mitchell, of course), Kate Kehoe, Marc Izzo, and Jay Bangash '01 in New York to watch the Patriots win their second Super Bowl title. Now all we have to do is bring the Red Sox some luck. Mandy, Ellie, and I are still living in Chatham, NJ, and I am still working in downtown NYC at American Express as director in our global partnerships group." Foster Witt's photography exhibit entitled "Passengers" opened on Thursday, July 8, at The Whitehall Building on West 25th Street in NYC. I received a catalogue of the exlubition, and his work is most impressive. Check it out at www.fosterwitt.com. Jennifer (Nisivoccia) Wright and husband,Jon, write, " Now that Ben has arrived safely and will be six months old soon, I guess you can announce his birth in the R eporter next time around ... LOL! He'll probably be one, by then! Anyway, I am loving being a mom ...it was hard to get used to at first, but now it's just pure joy. I took an extended leave ...I go back to work part time July 15. Ben's arrival and our life change are all that are really new here ... same house, same jobs, etc." Mary Beth Parker got engaged in January to longtime boyfriend, Ben. She writes, "We are getting married on November 20 off the coast of Georgia in a little church on St. Simons Island, and the reception will

be on Jekyll Island. It's been a busy year, but we are really excited about the upconung festivities! I think Atlanta will be home for awhile. Allison Gruner got engaged in June, the day she and her fiance closed on a house in West Roxbury, MA. They are planning to get married nell.'t surruner. Alissa (Furman) McGreen and her husband, Ed, had their first baby at the end of July. Camy (Portanova) Toth and her husband, Andy, are expecting their first baby in November. I bumped into Eric Jewett and his fiancee at the local Irish pub in Brookline, MA, in April. Eric had just sold his house in Boston and quit his job to move to Seattle and rejoin Microsoft. Three weeks ago, Eric was married to his fiancee, Harini. They are settling into a new place near Lake Union, north of downtown Seattle. Eric writes, "I've been to countries across five continents (Egypt, Australia, England, Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Singapore, and India) between work and vacation and hope to take Christmas break in the sixth in Argentina . This is on top of a fair amount of domestic travel, which is, fortunately, trailing off with the new job." Eric told me that Dave McKenna moved to Hunters Beach in Los Angeles and that Dan Cappolla is doing well in NYC. Jane Rand Nedder and husband, Mike, are "moving to 'The Money Pit'-next door to my oldest sister in Darien on August 23." Jane is due with their second child, a girl, on or around December 5 of this year. Jane writes, " I am still not 100 percent convinced it is a girl, because the doctor told me not to 'paint the room yet,' whatever that means." Johanna Ward Simon is enjoying living in BrookJyn. She started working at Colgate-Palmolive as a research manager in the United States company about 10 months ago and is enjoying it. Erin Terkelsen writes, "Greetings from Cape Cod. I'd love to send you some new news, but I'm still catering as busy as can be here on the Cape and have also recently started working at what has to be the best new restaurant on the Cape. It's called The Port, in Harwich Port-big surprise-and has the best food I've seen in a while. Can't say I've seen too nuny Trinity alums out here, and if they were here, I've probably cooked them dinner. Just kidding. I'm planning to move up to Boston later this year to get a change of pace and jump into the Boston food scene." Susan and Jon Massey write, "On November 25, 2003, we welcomed our second child, Lauren Mansfield Massey, weighing in at 10 pounds, one ounce. She joins big sister, Sara, who is now three years old and getting ready to start pre-school in the fall." In addition, Susan writes, "We saw Adam Goldfarb and his wife, Melissa (who went to Trinity during our junior year through the 12-college-exchange), when they came to visit us. Jon went down to New Orleans in April to see Bryan Satter tie the knot to the lovely Jamie Lyn Matherne (LSU class of 1998). And if any of you have never been to a 'Down Home Southern ' weddin',Jon strongly recommends that all experience it once in their lives." Bryan and Janlie are living in Saletn, MA. Bryan will finish his MBS / MS in accounting at Northeastern in August and begin work at an accounting frrm in Charlestown, MA. Jon also recently changed dentists, and now has his teeth cared for by Joyce Kurdian .This seems like a smart move because you would like to believe she's on the up and up--not the type of dentist to drill unnecessarily.

Tim Sullivan writes, "The biggest news in my life is Kestrel Aviation has gone international." Kestrel Aviation is the C harter Airline company that Tim started with his brother, Bob, a number of years ago. The alumni office notes that Courtney Dann McAdams, a financial representative with Northwestern Mutual Financial Network, was the overall sales leader for the Northern Wyoming and Montana office, new client leader, disability lives leader and life insurance sales leader for 2003 . As for Your Class Secretary ... my youngest brother, Michael '04, graduated from Trinity in May. I saw Ron Cino throughout the weekend festivities, as his brother was also graduating. I also got to meet Ron 's wife and adorable baby son! In early June, I attended a conference in San Diego. Laura Ingrassia traveled down from LA for a night to see me, w hich was wonderful. She is currently out of the country, overseeing the sale of fancy sports cars at the Christie's Le Mans Auction. I am looking forward to attending the wedding of Tom Lazay to the lovely Liz Viall in New Jersey on August 21. I'm looking forward to seeing some Trinity folks at that event. I am working on my dissertation and this summer I am a graduate adviser to 14 minority students from around the United States w ho come to Harvard Med School to do research projects. It has been wonderful getting to know these srudents and enco uraging them to pursue careers in some area of health policy and science. I just had them all to my aparnnent for a big Italian dinner the other night, w hich was a blast. Other than that, those of us in Boston are bracing for the DNC and the invasion of thousands of Democrats. I'm sure the police will be using some sort of profiling to target Republicans, such as myself, for "random" searches on the T. I've been enjoying the New England summer, and I've been getting down to Connecticut to do some boating and water skiing in the Sound with friends and family.

He often sees Gideon Pollach, Mark Craig '98, and Stu Wolferman '97 . He is currently in training to win his seventh consecutive Tour de France. (He told me not to put in that last part, but w hy should he be modest with such extraordinary accomplishments?) Amanda Smith reports from New Jersey: " I will hold one of the two coveted positions as Heather Wynne's bridesmaid. We had a shower for Heather and Jeff (Ullman) in Massachusetts this past weekend.

Hi, all-this will be a mighty short edition of the Notes since my solicitation for news in the last edition of the Notes was met with a stony silence. Here's what I do know: Jon Goldstein has been living in New Mexico with his wife, Susanne, for the past year and a half. H e's working as the communications director of the New Mexico Environment Department in the Richardson administration, and his wife is assistant art director for Outside Magazine. He sees Micaela Heekin occasionally when she visits her parents in Santa Fe, and he also sees Pete Gould quite a bit.

Matthew Prince '96 has started a company called Unspam that works to solve some of the legal problems prosecutors face when trying to enforce anti-spam laws. The company has developed and filed for patents on a system to create a secure no-spam registry, which alerts spammers to rules that apply to particular addresses. Last year, Unspam helped write portions of the Federal CAN-SPAM law and worked with Senator Schumer's office to create a provision for a no-spam registry. They have also worked with the Federal Trade Commission on a report to Congress on the implementation of such a registry. In addition, Prince recently addressed an international meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, sponsored by the United Nations, for member countries that are struggling to control their spam problem. He also led a seminar for the British House of Commons on how to craft effective laws to combat spam.

Fall 2004

Many of us got married or found out there was a baby on the way. Some of us moved with a new job on the horizon . And some of just kicked back and took advantage of those early summer Friday dismissals from the office. In a nutshell, my summer was packed with trips, work trips to LA, late nights at the office, a Jones family reunion, a few mini Trinity reunions, and two adorable kittens named Simba and Puma . Exciting, right? On to you .. .Allison Brailey shares some news for the Reporter ... "! ran into Laura Rigalosi during one of my early morning New Havento-NYC train rides for work.

Laura and I chatted about Kasia Dybowska's move to London and her upcoming wedding there, where Laura Rigalosi and Laura D'Anca will both be attendants. Laura D ' Anca is still doing well-Alicyn Campbell '98 and I met up with her a few weeks ago. Apparently, Paul Lordan is really enjoying his photography classes. Jessica Lopes is working at UPOC, while getting her master's in art education and living in Brooklyn where she sees Trin-Trin folks often.

Stacy and her husband, Shane (who finished his master's at Harvard and is now working as a design engineer), and their daughter, Ava, are all doing well. Stacy, Shane, Ava, and Joan Kreie (who ALSO fm.ished her nuster's and is working in the administrative position of head teacher at the Gilford school in Weston , MA, now) all took a little vacation recently to Florida, a little respite from this cold spring. As for me, l, too, just finished my master's in statistics at Yale and am still working at Pfizer in New London, but I've been doing a lot of back and forth to NYC for one clinical development project.

Go; Christina A. Palmese; Ellen Newman Petrov; Morgan M. Risse!; Em.ilie Howell Schmidt Hello there, '98ersl I hope that everyone is enjoying a wonderful summer filled with bright sunshine, too much watermelon, and a boatload of daiquiris. I've spent my sunm1er with my ubiquitous black roller bag perpetually packed and at the ready. It's filled with my toothbrush , toothpaste, deodorant, and last but not least-parry shoes! It appears the will of the universe that we spend the better part of our 20s and 30s on the wedding circuit, so I've made every effort to srreamline the packing process. I've been on an extended wedding tour this summer, having just returned from three weddings in Taos, NM, Chicago, IL, and Cozumel, Mexico. I contemplated for a fleeting moment having tour t-shirts printed up but decided against it in the name of all that is good and right in the realm of fashion. Kristin Franczyk and Oscar Grajales married in Cozumel on July 10. It gave me an excuse to work on my tan (read: worked on my sunscreen slathering technique. Did you know they made SPF 50?). Trinity alums in attendance were Isabel Corte-Real and Rebecca Cole. We three amigos spent a significant amount of time sighing at the beauty of the ocean, the natives, and naturally, the bride. The beachfront wedding was warm and wonderful and featured some impressive maraca playing by Isabel. We spent some time in the swimming pool after the wedding ceremony with Kristin's parents and got some good stories about Kristin and Oscar's courtship. (Mr. Franczyk also mentioned his attempts to divert his wife's attention from the copious empty bottles linmg the windows of Jarvis dorm rooms on their Trinity tour back in 1993. He seemed certain they were senior rooms-and we weren't about to break it to him that those bottles probably belonged to 19year-olds.) Mter a quick honeymoon at an unnamed Mexican destination, Kristin and her husband were back to Burlington,VT, where they recently moved and are in the process of building a glorious house. I also just returned from a veri table hootenanny of a weekend up in Cape Cod with Chris '89 and Charlotte (Fairbanks) Comer. As in any stinkin' cute New England town, we spent the majority of the (rainy!) weekend in our preppy duds gorging on fudge and ice cream and purchasing numerous (and now regrettable) items of monogranm1ed clothing. If I ever wake up with early Alzheimer's, I now have plenty of bags/ headbands/ other nonsense to remind me that my first name begins with the letter "T." There were numerous generations ofTrinity alums along for the ice cream eating, marathon weekend, including Katherine Lambert, Rachel Fairbanks '04, Liz Fairbanks '01 , Leigh Pendleton '01, Matt Albrecht '01, Reed Whitman '02, and Sarah Coughlin '00. We are all now stuffed, happy people.

Peter Levinson reports that he and Jessika Welcome '96 are now officially Peter Levinson and Jessika Welcome (she's keeping her name). The couple were married on June 12 at All Souls Ch urch in NYC. The nuptials served as a platform for another mini-Trinity reunion, and the couple looks forward to attending several other alum weddings during the course of the summer. In amusing wedding news, George Zyrek writes, " I have been married to my job as a client relationship/ marketing manager at Mintz & Hoke Conm1Unications Group in Avon , CT, for over four years. Although l can attest this marriage has had its good days as well as some bad ones, in January, after over nine months of laborin g, we announced the arrival of a new e-marketing program for one of my clients, Mohegan Sun Casino. l managed the development and execution of this all-n ew, e-marketing program that included a new Web site, an online newsletter, and an e-mail offer component. This past spring (2004), our pride and joy received national recognition. The campaign took top honors at the American Marketing Awards and th e Boston Bellringer Awards as well as recognition as best Indian casino Web site by Indian Gaming lvlagaz ine." Congratulation on nurriage, birth, and early Phi Beta Kappa, it appears.

Everyth.ing began on Thursday night and concluded Sunday afternoon. The only thing to say about it is that it was a whirlwind of events based on limited amounts of sleep and exrreme amounts of fun. We thought it could not be topped until this spring when we planned a four-day excursion to Las Vegas. "The four-day rrip was planned for late March so that we could participate in the activities surrounding the N CAA tournament. Once arriving in the city ofBright Lights and Big Dreams, it was nothing but smiles and h.igh fives the entire time.

Scott Rickard and Mike Amaral showed everyo ne how to do it up in Vegas, while never being afraid to give the stiff blade. Nate Barad and Mike Healey lived celebrity style in their presidential suite overlooking the strip. Joe Brantuk, Sean Joyce, Doug Borgerson, and Jay Wright spent their days lounging by the pool, enjoying the 95-degree weather. The Vegas nights were filled with confusion, debauchery, and most importantly fun. Wish we could say more. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas."

Scott Gerien '90, an attorney in San Francisco, is an alumni admissions volunteer. "Kids who are interested in Trinity can get all the academic details from catalogs and the Web," says Scott, "but when they talk to an alum, they want to hear what the school is really about ... who the best professors are, what the social life is like, what the dorms and food service are like. And those are things that alumni can answer because they've been there." Recently, Scott met with Karla Torres, a California high school student who had some questions about Trinity. "Talking to someone one-toone was great," says Karla. "Scott put me at ease with regard to what campus life is like and what classes are

like. I was really, really excited about Trinity after I talked to him . And my Mom was put at ease too, because she was nervous about my coming out here!" Her conversation with Scott is one of the reasons that Karla is now a member ofTrinity's Class of '06! "Being an admissions volunteer is very gratifying," Scott says. "In helping the College enroll high-quality students, I know I'm helping Trinity retain its competitive position as one of the top liberal arts colleges." There are lots of ways to get involved as an alumni admissions volunteer. It's easy, it's fun, and it's a great way to m eet other people who love Trinity. Training and support is provided by the professional staff of the office of admissions.

Listed below are some of the activities that alumni may participate in: - attend receptions for prospective, admitted, and incoming students - represent Trinity at college fairs at local high schools - interview prospective students - meet with guidance counselors and interested students at local high schools There are nearly 1,300 alumni admissions volunteers across the country, working to strengthen Trinity's reputation.
