"Sand," an ensemble-based performance piece performed at Trinity in l=ebruary, was conceived as a response to the mandala project. Created and directed by New York City performance artist and Visiting lecturer Michael Burke, and developed with Trinity students, "Sand" juxtaposed spoken text, dance, music, and visual imagery to explore compassion, impermanence, the interconnectedness of all beings, and how these relate to our personal histories and world views through the metaphor of sacred sand castles.

and l=ebruary of 2005, seven Tibetan nuns from the Keydong Thuk-Che-Choin Kathmandu, Nepal, plus their and group leader, visited Trinity to a sand mandala, the Avalokiteshvara of compassion. Grains of colored sand iair,st,akinaly distributed to create the intri, which can be read as a bird's-eye a celestial palace, adorned with symbols s that represent both the nature of and the order of an enlightened mind. completion, the mandala is dismantled sand is offered back to the earth as a I of the transitory nature of life. The nuns are among the first Tibetan women monastics to learn this pracearlier group from this nunnery created at the College in 1998. More than 20 departments and programs joined to support this event, which was in cooperation with Wellesley College.

campusnews Exhibit provides a rare glimpse of an ancient art form These days, when an administration wishes to create some spin, a press secretary churns out sound bites. When Holy Roman t:mperor Charles VI (and contemporaries) needed to do a little muscle flexing or saber rattling in the 18th century, a host of master craftsman and artists were summoned to build colossal-some over 100 feet tall-and breathtakingly beautiful, ephemeral architectural constructions known as macchine (MACH-ee-nay). Astonishingly, the macchine were blown to bits-to the great delight of the Raman crowds-in spectacular fireworks displays immediately after their completion. The public wine fountain typically adjacent to the macchine likely fanned the flames of the art form's popularity. In a mid-winter exhibition at Trinity's Watkinson Library, interested viewers got a comprehensive view of one of Baroque Rome's most famous festivals. Professor Kristin A. Triff, of the Department of Fine Arts, curated "Staging Diplomacy in t:ighteenth-Century Rome: The Festival of the Chinea," a special exhibit of 18th-century prints depicting the macchine, from the extraordinary private collection of Vincent J. Buonanno, one of the world 's foremost collectors of Rome-related prints and visual culture. Akin to today's movie previews, prints suc h as those in Buonanno's collection were distributed in advance to whet the appetite of guests invited to the Chinea (keen-ay-ah), and the detailed depictions of the macchine were eagerly scrutinized by an extensive audience in Rome and

Carnival: Culture in Action -The Trinidad Experience £dited by

Milia Cozart Riggio, James J. Goodwin Professor of £nglish (Routledge, 2004; 322 pages) Traditional carnival theory, based mainly on the work of Mikhail Bakhtin and Victor Turner, has long defined carniva l as inverse or subversive. The essays in this ground breaking anthology collectively reverse that trend, offering a redefinition of "carnival" that is focused not on the socia l hierarchies it challenges, but on the va lu es and senses of community that it affirms. This book details its new theory with reference to a carniva l that is at once representative and distinctive: the Carnival of Trinidad-the most copied yet least studied major carnival in the world. The author has compiled a body of work that takes the reader on a Post-Holocaust: Interpretation, Misinterpretation, and the Claims of History Berel Lllllg, Visiti11g Professor '!f

Of All The Corners To Forget by Gian Lombardo (Meeting £yes Bindery (NYC), 2004; 80 pages) On the surface, the prose poems in Of All The Corners To Forget appear quietly delicate, but if you dig a little bit they present an intellect at work exploring the fabric of perception. The simple structures and language of these prose poems embody a complexity of ideas-that whatever is stated is never fully present, that the expected is never truly realized. Through resonances, the interplay of rhythm and repetition, through the skewering of everyday language and cliches, through gently insistent negations and a ghostly narrative sometimes impossible to pin down, the book reminds us that the relation of truth is not only subject to its presentation, but also in the discovery that truth resides in the place where perspect ive and expression collapse.

fromthearchives by Peter Knapp '65 Richard S. Barthelmess, Class of 1917: Hollywood star of the silent screen

Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. , Lillian and Dorothy Gish, and Charlie Chaplin were actors and actresses synonymous with the era of the silent screen. Another star of this period who achieved considerable stature was Trinity's own Richard Barthelmess, Class of 1917. Known to his friends as Dick Barthelmess, he leftTrinity in 1916 to pursue his calling as an actor. In a career spanning almost 25 years, he appeared in more than 75 films, principally in leading roles, including such classics as Broken Blossoms, Way Down East, To/' able David, and The Patent Leather Kid, and was one of the first Oscar nominees for distinguished acting. Richard Semler Barthelmess was born in New York City on May 9, 1895, the son of Alfred W. Barthelmess, a businessman , and Caroline Williams Harris. Following the death of her husband while her son was quite young, Mrs. Barthelmess turned to the stage for a livelihood , and as a youngster Barthelmess occasionally appeared with her in bit parts. H e entered Trinity as a freshman in 1913, and soon became a major force in the Jesters, the student dramatic organization, which he Richard S.

fromthepresident Dear members of the Trinity College conununity: As I write this letter for our next Reporter, school has begun in earnest, snow still covers the campus, we are having a brief break in the winter cold, and students, faculty, and staff alike are going about the business of education here at our College. Now in my eighth month at Trinity, I have come to understand all the more why our students profit so handsomely from the educational opportunities offered here and why the alumni and alumnae whom Jan and I have met on our visits to chapters all over the country feel so strongly about their College. We have been touched more than we can say by the e>.:pressions of goodwill evinced by so many students, parents, faculty colleagues, colleagues on the staff, and by alumni and alumnae everywhere. No one could feel more welcome than we. From the two desks where I customarily sit to write, I am struck by how the Chapel dominates our campus, in ways both architectural and aesthetic. The great rose window looms directly in front of the side windows of my office in Williams Memorial. and the lit bell tower shines directly in front of me as I sit in the pre-dawn hours at my desk at home. Given these constant reminders ofTrinity's beginnings, I have given a great deal of thought lately to why schools seem almost sacred entities . As we know, the modern academy finds its historical roots in the cathedral schools of 13th-century Europe: in Paris, Oxford, and Bologna. Many American institutions were also founded as religious colleges and universities, Trinity being a good example, as it was founded by Bishop Brownell and the College's earliest benefactors. Although non-sectarian, Trinity, like so many other schools, still seems to guard something sacred, passing it on from one generation to the next: the idealism of the young, the unlimited possibilities of the future, the eternal hope for those who will soon take our place and who, we trust, will do an even better job than we may have done as parents and teachers. But maintaining that sacred trust requires constant vigilance and resolute action if we are to fulfill our highest obligation to our students and their future. Higher education in America today faces a number of challenges, external and internal. On the external front, for example, we hear from time to time that there are those in national positions who might wish to regulate credit hours, and the transferability of credit hours, on American campuses. Again on the external front, almost every institution I know faces a number of financial challenges, striving to balance the vital necessity of assuring access to any promising studentregardless of race, gender, national origin, or socio-economic background-with the equally vital necessity of stewarding tuition dollars, endowment income, and gifts to guarantee that the superior education we offer can be sustained in the future . At Trinity, we are deeply engaged in the ongoing process of such stewardship. Last December, we embarked upon the most careful of financial examina-

tions of our spending practices. Under the astute direction of Secretary of the College Scott Reynolds, '63 and Director of the Budget Alan Sauer, a Budget Council (Dean of the Faculty ad interim Frank Kirkpatrick '64, Vice President for Strategic Planning Sharon Herzberger, Vice President for Advancement Ronald Joyce, Dean of Students Fred Alford, Dean of Multicultural Affairs Karla Spurlock-Evans, Dean of Admissions Larry Dow, Associate Academic Dean Steve Peterson, Chair of the Faculty Finance Committee Tom Mitzel, Isaac Goldstein '05, representing students and Robin Kelly, representing the stafl) has been meeting since late last year on a weekly basis. To date, this conunittee has proposed cuts in present budget lines of 3.5 million dollars, bringing this year's fiscal budget into balance. In the process of making these necessary reductions, every care has been taken to preserve the core academic mission of the College and to insure that undergraduate education here remains at the highest national standard. We have additional challenges before us in the future, but we intend to confront them directly and forthrightly. Being proper stewards of an institution's finances is one of the most important responsibilities we have. Our goal is to insure that students can continue to come to Trinity, whatever their economic background, since diversity in all its myriad dimensions is imperative not only for the present education of us all but also, and more importantly, for the future of our country and of the world. There is a passage in Thoreau's journals that comes to my mind each time I have some communication with our Trinity students. Thoreau, not so many miles from our campus, by the way, suddenly starts conunenting about a young man and his tool box . The scene is a back yard. Thoreau eloquently writes about a young fellow who takes his tool box confidently out there to build a bridge to the moon. Building bridges to the moon, or at least having the idealistic confidence to believe oneself capable of building such bridges, defines most aptly what schools such as Trinity are all about. They are sites where, in an almost sacred sense, young men and women venture forth into their own intellectual back yards as they prepare themselves for their futures. Doing everything one can to insure that Trinity's promise remains steadfast is an awesome responsibility. As we move forward vigorously to strengthen the College fiscally and academically, I am heartened by my growing sense of just how profoundly everyone connected with Trinity loves this venerable institution . Jan and I are happy to share this responsibility- and this love - with all of you who make up the Trinity conu11.unity.

What are some of the things that attracted you to Trinity?

The College's nati onal reputation for academic excellence is what initially attracted me. And I love the feeling of co mmuniry and intimacy that you find in a small liberal arts college. Beyond that, th ough, l have to say that the single biggest reason for my coming here is Jimmy Jones. H e has extensive experi ence as a college president, he knows the development business, and most importantly, he has a fire in his belly, a real passion for making Triniry an eve n better college. How did you get started in the fundraising business? By accident! I was a somewhat older stu dent as an undergraduate, having interrupted my edu cation to

go into the Marin e C orps. When l returned to school, l go t a job working for the president of Colgate. One of my tasks was to be the driver for members of th e board of trustees wh en they visited ca mpus, and one day one of them said, "What are you go ing to do when you graduate'" Then he told me abo ut a j ob that was opening up in the development office. At that point, I knew so little about the business that I said, "What's development?" It turn ed out that it was a job with the annual fund . I took it, was immediately hooked, and th at j ob turn ed into a 31 - year career! It has been grea t fun , and has been very rewarding. You quickly learn that the best thing about fundraising

is that it makes a real difference in the lives of people and institutions.

What lessons have you learned from your work at other schools that will help guide your efforts at Trinity? I learned that you can't rush relationshipbuilding with your donors. It takes time for staff members in the advancement office to build long-term relationships with alumni / ae, parents, and others to learn their interests and passions, and eventually to present a compelling case for support of a particular project. I also learned that donors want you to be direct and specific. It's not enough to simply say that you want money.You have to build a case for why you need it and what a particular gift is going to accomplish for your institution. Finally, I have learned that the key to a successful development program is a quality staff. Enthusiastic volunteers are certainly important to any fundraising effort; but the better the staff you have supporting them, the more successful you, and the volunteers, are likely to be. I ca n also see that we need to sharpen our messages about Trinity's unique strengths. There are hundreds of liberal arts colleges in this country, and in order to attract the best students, we need to do a good job of explaining what sets us apart from the others. Certainly our imaginative and mutually beneficial relationship with the city of Harrford is one distinguishing feature . Discovering and clarifying other special strengths is important. It is already clear to me that Trinity has a nun1.ber of features that potentially set us apart from our peers.

WITH AN ENERGETIC NEW PRESIDENT, A SUPPORTIVE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, AND PLANS FOR A COMPREHENSIVE CAMPAIGN IN THE FORMATIVE STAGE .. . ALL OF US, WORKING TOGETHER, CAN PROVIDE RESOURCES THAT WILL SUBSTANTIALLY STRENGTHEN THE COLLEGE.

Please talk about the importance of the endowment for the future of the College. Relative to the leading liberal arts colleges to which we are frequently compared, and with whom we compete for students and faculty members, we need to substantially strengthen both our endowment and our annual fund. Trinity currently has an endowment of some , 380 million, which puts us at a competitive disadvantage when we look at schools like Williams, Grinnell, and Swarthmore, each of which is endowed at more than the billion-dollar level. In addition, there are schools among our competitors whose annual fund provides as much as 10 cents of each dollar of the operating budget, whereas our figure stands nearer 4.5 cents. We are well down the NESCAC ladder in dollars, but through thoughtful planning and dedicated hard work we have still been able to provide an education that is of high quality.

Just imagine what more we could do with comparable resources in place! While I don't entirely subscribe to the notion of college ratings, as in the annual US. News a11d IMJrld R eport survey, those rankings are often a proxy for the wealth of an institution. It seems to me that at Trinity, our academic strengths are not yet matched by our financial resources. Building a stronger endowment will help us do that. It will enable Trinity to expand its financial aid offerings in order to attract the best students, and it will enable us to create more endowed faculty chairs, which in turn means we ca n attract and retain the best new faculty members . Building the endowment also means that we can strengthen key academic support areas, like the Raether Library and Information Technology Center, where we need to stay current with new acquisitions in books, periodicals, and up-to-date electronic media. Finally, we need to have a strong endowment in order to help make a Trinity education affordable for a wide range of people. Without financial aid, we won't have a broadly diverse student population. And without that, we can't offer the ful.lest possible educational experience. The world is a very diverse place, so we want our students living in a real world here. If they are to be successful as adults, they need to be comfortable living and working with people from all sorts of backgrounds. The size of th e endowment has a huge impact on th e future of the College. It helps us match the best students with the best teachers in a setting that provides topnotch support for ongoing intellectual co nversations. Trinity enjoys tremendous loyalty from its graduates, and I am sure we can all work togemer to ensure that the endowment grows to a size that brings us into line with the best of our peers.

What messages would you like to send to Trinity alumni/ae and parents as you begin your work here? This is an exciting time for Trinity and a particularly exciting mom ent for the advancement program. With an energetic new president, a supportive Board of Trustees, and plans for a comprehensive ca mpaign in the formative stage, we are about to embark on a period when all of us, workin g together, can provide resources that will substantially strength en the College.

Take notice! NeW" dragon on the block OBSERVATIONS ON THE "NEW" CHINA B Y

P ETER

S MIHI

' 58

Education, enlightenment, and general public exposure on the emergence of China as a major force in today's world is sorely lacking in the United States. Instead of painting an accurate view of China's dramatic transition to the status of"major competitor," our media seem to give way to an attitude of" benign neglect." In the mid 1960s, we were told by the Soviet Union, then under the leadership of Chairman Khrushchev, "economically, we will bury you." Of course that never happened; in fact the opposite was true, and the United States enjoyed decades of economic growth and prosperity. In a far more subtle, understated-certainly under-publicized-way, we are again being economically challenged. Following four years of teaching in China, observing first-hand the emergence of this new world power, l 'd like to share some of my thoughts and impressions. A little over a year ago, China wa in the international doghouse, responsible for a major health problem that kept business and tourists away for nearly three months. But SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) is now forgotten, airplanes into Beijing and Shanghai are once again overbooked, and China's economy continues to move forward at a torrid pace, its GOP up more than nine percent in 2004. Last July, Malcolm Forbes hosted, in Shanghai , a global CEO conference with delegates from more than 400 major companies attending. In his opening speech, he proclaimed the city to be "the hottest economic spot in the world."Those attending must surely agree, as international corporations continuously pour money into China, making it the top nation in the world now attracting foreign direct investment and the world's number-two nation with the largest foreign exchange dollar reserves. Even Japan, like so many other nations, is now outsourcing much of its manufacturing to C hin a, addi ng to that country's hu ge export balance. C hin a has now replaced Japan in dollar value of exported goods; by 2005, it will surpass both Japan and Korea as the world's top

shipbuilding nation, giving it even greater means to spread its trading power throughout the seven seas. Along with the billions of dollars brought in by international companies now manufacturing in C hin a, there is also a wealth of th e most modern technical, manufacturing, and scientific knowledge being shared, th e value of which cannot be calculated in monetary terms. Signs of the tremendous foreign investment are everywhere. I recently took a train trip to a city two hours outside of Shanghai and was amazed at the miles and miles of former far m land now taken over by huge mod ern factories, flying flags from Germany, Switzerland, Spain, France, Italy, Sweden, Japan, and the United States. I also noted a bit of irony; the largest investor in China is Taiwan, but it is abso lutely illegal to fly their flag on the Chinese mainland. The issue ofTaiwan remains a potential flashpoint and no small matter when one realizes that the only nation in the world that would assist Taiwan in a conflict is the United States. In the past 10 yea rs, C hina has done a masterful diplomatic job of convincing the international community that Taiwan is part of" Mother China," and "it must be brought back into the fo ld, one way or another." A recent Chinese government editorial stated, rather bluntly, "Taiwan is an integral part of China , not Washington's military satellite ... . the US decision to sell advanced radar systems to the Island will only j eopardize C hina's peaceful reunification with Taiwan and shake the political foundation of Chinese-US relations." "Forget about the governn1ent!"

When li ving in China, one must read the English version of China's daily newspaper (www.chi nadai.ly.com.cn). The most striking impression one is left with is that, day after day, nothin g negative ever happens, only positive progress in this country of 1.3 billion people. Page one consistently gives statistics showing never-ending growth in areas of personal income, GOP,

trade, sales, foreign investment, manufacmring, shipping, construction, tax revenue, employment, etc., wh.i.le articles about international meetings held by President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao with other heads of government, enco uraging trade and investment and ge neral diplomatic good will , take up the rest of the front and middle pages. Political debates, criticism, or questioning of govenm1ent policies and pronouncements are virmally nonexistent. In conversations with university students, corporate executives, office workers, hotel personnel, and "the average man on the street," the predominant feeling or attitude seems to be "forget about the government-what they do and say is not important enough to me to waste time and effort challenging them .... Anyway, they must be doing some things very well as our nation has become the 'factory floor' of the world, we've now put a man in space, the Olympics are coming, we can go on vacations abroad, buy cars and apartments, and we are respected as an economic giant and have pride and prestige throughout the international community. Our priorities are to make money, continue to improve our life, and the lives of our parents, who lived through such chaos and misery in the 1950s-1980s. Criticizing or challenging or questioning our government is not a priority and certainly would be nonproductive." The Chinese government, in turn, is more than happy wi th its new status as an economi c and diplomatic world power and wi th th e fact that its main rival and competitor, the United States, is preoccupied wi th international terrorism and the "rebuilding of Iraq." Ali of the positive media information appearing daily emanates from a oneparty, totalitarian, coll1Jlmnist government, one that controls the minds of its billionplus population, tolerates no dissension, no arguments, and no questions; one that is determined to maintain domestic political stability and apparently will have no problem doing so because, very simply, no one there really cares, or dares to care, about

politics . I think it is safe to say that any changes that would liberalize th e gove rnment's policies will come through "evolution," certainly not " revolution." (An interesting, perh aps ironic note rega rding the ilip-side of this totalitari an coin: Not a policeman on any stree t in C hina wea rs a gun or carri es a nightsti ck. With a population fi ve times that of Ameri ca , gu n homicides in C hina in one year are probably equivalent to those in just one week in th e United States-guns are simply forbidd en, as are dru gs. The penalties for possession of either of these are severe and swift.) Beginnings of the "new" China The " new" C hina really began not in 191 1, when the ancient emperor system was overthrown by Dr. SunYat Sen, not in 1949, when the C ommunists took power, but rath er in 1978-80, wh en the incoming premi er, D eng Xiaoping, opened China to the world, and th e world responded by giving it a strength and power never possible under Mao Zedong's chaotic regime. Indeed, mu ch of China's ri se to world-power status has been generated fro m without, from the thousands of foreign corporations hungry for profits from this new market, all willing to pump billions of dollars and incalculable amoun ts of brain power, modern manufac turin g equipment, methods, technology, and manage rial skills into a struggling co mmunist nation . H owever, at the same tim e, th e C hinese government has shown that it is ve ry adept at combining this new strength with shrewd dipl omacy to achi eve international presti ge and respect. In the world today, win-win situations are ideal but rare, yet China has experienced such a situatio n for 24 yea rs and emerged as a formidable drago n, spouting a very co mpetitive fire, indeed a world power now to be reckoned with. It is imperative fo r th e United States to devo te more tim e and effort to ackn owledging this fac t and to edu cating th e public about the positi ve aspects-and the problen1S-Chin a brings to th e wo rld community.

Katz's poems "Line-Up" and "The Return" were included in Blood to Remember, an anthology of American poets on the Holocaust (Avon Books, 1995). Her poems have been displayed as part of art installations in museums and have appeared in magazines such as North American Review and Shenandoah. Among her most acclaimed are her war poems.

Born in Antwerp, Belgium, in 1939, she spoke Flemish and French until she was 12, when she learned to speak English upon emigrating to California to escape Nazi persecution. She also reveres the linguistic idiosyncrasies ofYiddish and laments, after all these years in the States, that her Flemish is fading. She says she thinks in English, and dreams in French. What does this multilinguism mean to her? " I believe you are a slightly different person in each language you speak," Katz says. "Language is of the people, places, and incidents you recall when and where it was spoken." Perhaps this is why Katz can move seam.lessly from professor to translator to poet to human rights activist. Translator, poet, activist

In the classroom

Despite the many hats she wears, Katz is perhaps best known as an engaging, enthusiastic professor who pushes her students toward literary and linguistic excellence. She is discouraged by America's "monolinguistic approach to the world" and says that while Triniry's students, like students throughout the country, have a "malaise" about traditional expressions of language, they are "very verbal in a new way-they are observant and notice things, especially in film , that they don't notice in books." As a result, Katz uses film in her course work, although selectively. " My hope is to further their linguistic development through my enthusiasm and excitement," she muses. "Students take my classes because they want to, and while they don 't necessarily see the advantages immediately, they do tell me the benefits emerge later." Katz does not limit her pedagogy to French literature, vocabulary, and grammar. She developed an innovative course entitled "Translation Workshop: Theory and Practice," through which a student can combine a passion for the language and another discipline. Her co urses run the gamut from surveys at all levels to more specific and esoteric choices such as "French Cinema: The New Wave" and "Symbolism and Decadence: Studies in 19th Century French , English , and German Literatures." For Katz, at the bottom of every intellectual pursuit is the need for reflection. Whether her work is in teaching, translation, poetry, or activism, she seems to begin and end in a centered, quiet place. Consider these lines from her poem, "Hiding in Other People's Houses" :

"You don't really know a language unless you can write in it."

s a Trinity undergraduate in the early 1990s, Gregg Lewis signed up for a drawing class taught by Professor Robert Kirschbaum. He knew, immediately, the subject he wanted to draw. For the balance of that semester, he devoted himself to capturing the dilapidated buildings that were all too common along Broad Street back then. "When you work on a large-scale drawing, you really get into the subject," says Lewis, who graduated from Trinity in 1993, with a B.A. degree in art history. "It gives you a lot of time to trunk." Lewis found himself rumjnating about why communities decline and how design and planning could help to revive them. Frog Hollow was a striking contrast to Deep I:Uver, the Connecticut River town where he grew up. But not until he began sketching those buildings did the meaning of that counterpoint fully reveal itself. Dispirited inner city neighborhoods were a consequence of mjddJe class flight to the suburbs . But in Connecticut's bucolic rural towns-where, between 1985 and 2002, the state lost an average 18 acres of open land to development every day--urban refugees were imperiling the very quality of life they sought. The more Lewis worked to capture the stark mearung of those abandoned buildings, the more he thought about what he wanted to do with his life. And, increasingly, architecture made sense.

The meaning of community design "Triruty had a huge impact on me," Lewis says. "It was there that I began thinking seriously about commuruty design." That interest, in turn, drew him to Yale where, as a graduate student in architecture, he helped create a model for Triruty's Learning Corridor project. With a small group of other like-minded students, he created the Dwight Edgewood Design Collaborative. Adopting New Haven 's Dwight and Edgewood neighborhoods as a laboratory, the collaborative's members experimented with urban restoration concepts. "We undertook many small, grassroots projects to help (residents]," Lewis recalls. Those projects informed his trunking about the juxtaposition of architecture and conm1uruty design. Along the way, Lewis met Jennifer Smjth, a fellow architecture student who shared his interests, and who would soon become his wife. In 1998, they both landed jobs with nationally prominent Centerbrook Architects & Planners in Essex, Connecticut.

Gregg was soon immersed in a role most architects only dream about at the dawn of their careers. He was assigned to coordinate the design team creating Phillips Exeter Academy's innovative, $27-million Phelps Science Center. In 2002, the science center garnered the prestigious Crow Island Citation, rughest honor awarded in American School & University's Educational Interiors Showcase Competition. By then, however, Gregg Lewis' life had taken another turn.

Sustainability When the Lewises' daughter, Audrey, was born in 2000, the young couple relocated to Roanoke, Virginia, to be closer to Jennifer's family. Gregg had no difficulty landing a job. But the projects he managed were primarily large and institutional, offering scant opporturuty to advance the ideas about "green" architecture and sustainable development that had fueled his imagination, now, for more than a decade. Trungs came to a head in 2003 , when he was asked to design a large federal perutentiary in Alabama, the antithesis of what he was interested in. Lewis realized the time had come to commit to rus dream. So, while Jennifer worked for a local firm , Gregg threw rumself wholly into creating their own practice-SmjthLewis Architecture. Roanoke presented both opportunities and obstacles. It has a long and interesting history, a hospitable climate, interstate highway service, and many of the ameruties that attract affiuent urban professionals. With just 95,000 residents, it features a comfortable balance between the urban and the rural. Moreover, its population has remained relatively stable, even though it is just 194 miles northwest of burgeorung Charlotte, North Carolina, and 250 miles west of the nation 's capital. But, Lewis saw distinct parallels to Connecticut. While inner city neighborhoods wore the face of neglect, developmental sprawl was relentlessly nibbling away at the surrounding Blue fudge. Lewis found "an energetic group of environmentally focused citizens," but no strong market for the kind of practice he and Jennifer wanted to build. "We realized we needed to bring these ideas to the entire Roanoke commuruty," he says. He began meeting with civic leaders, telling them about his ideas, and writing conm1entaries on development issues for The Roanoke Ti111es. The city's modest size worked to rus advantage. " I found I had a phenomenal opportunity to interact with responsive city leaders," he says. And then Gregg and Jennifer came up with an idea that would change their lives in ways neither could have imagined.

"When you work on a large-scale drawing, you really get into the subject. It gives you a lot of time to think."

"When designers employ the intelligence of natural systems - the effectiveness of nutrient cycling, the abundance of the sun's energy they can create products, industrial systems, buildings, even regional plans that allow nature and commerce to fruitfully co-exist." -William McDonough and Michael Braungart

Cradle to cradle In 2002, internationally renowned designer William M cDonough and German chemist Michael Braungart published Cradle to Cradle: R emaking the Way We Make Things. The book offered a fresh perspective on design and construction, making the case that "when designers employ the intelligence of natural systems-the effectiveness of nutrient cycling, the abundance of the sun's energy-they can create products, industrial systems, buildings, even regional plans that allow nature and commerce to fruirfully co-exist." For Gregg and Jennifer Lewis, Cradle to Cradle could not have been more timely. "We knew we had to bring Bill McDonough to Roanoke," says Gregg. So, in the spring of 2003, they began planning a public lecture. A local nonprofit group, the Roanoke Regional Housing Network, learned of their efforts and offered to help. Lewis was grateful for their support, but, he says, though they worked on the project all that sumn1er, no one was sure what kind of attendance to expect. When McDonough finally came to Roanoke, in October, 750 people turned out. " What we were trying to create in Roanoke may have been novel," says Lewis, "but it was now clear that people here understood that we have to get our arms around the effect human activity is having on this planet." Flush with success, the Housing Network approached Lewis with a follow-up idea. They wanted to introduce a design competition for affordable housing. "Their idea was good," says Lewis, "but it didn't address the issues of sustainability or constructability."With McDonough 's permission , they offered a more formal proposal, "using Cradle to Cradle as a template on a design-build platform ."

By early 2004, the competition-now called C2C Homewas well on its way to becoming reality. Lewis had lined up a slate of distinguished judges, including McDonough ; Daniel Libeskind, award-winning designer of the Berlin Holocaust Museum and the Freedom Tower at Ground Zero; Randall Stout, designer of Roanoke 's new Art Museum ofWestern Virginia; Sarah Susanka , author of The Not So Big House series; and Alexander Garvin, author of The American City: What Works, What Doesn't, who described the competition as "the first new idea in community building in nearly 100 years." That April, Lewis announced C2C at the eighth annual EnvironDesign conference. A week later the Web site went live. Even with the success of M cDonough's Roanoke lecture as a gauge, Lewis could not have imagi ned the response C2C would provoke. By November 15, when registration closed, almost 1,200 individuals and groups, from more than 40 countries, had expressed interest. A month later, at the cutoff date for proposals, Lewis was looking at more than 600 designs. The judges were bowled over by the response. Nevertheless, by January they had selected winners. This summer, a collaboration of organizations will support constru ction of the first homes, using the award-winning designs, addressing both Lewis' dreams and those of the Roanoke Regional Housing Network. By the summer of2006, Lewis hopes 30 homes will be under construction, transforming th e face of Roanoke. "It will be community building in the tru est sense of the word," says the man whose vision of hope for inner city neighborhoods took form when he was a Trinity undergraduate, drawing the shapes of urban blight.

_ _ Knife fish research holds promise for human brain healt.~路~ B Y C HRI ST INE PALM

"The fish have rituals of courtship and aggression, and they sense isolation and threat. In other words, they relate to their environment just as we humans do.''

At a time in their lives when most students focus on social interaction with their peers, three Trinity seniors are more worried about how fish relate to one another. South American electric knife fish, to be exact. Do these fish talk to one another? If so, what do they say? Do males and females have different things on the brain? How does stress affect the fish's communication? Who 's listening? Who cares? Erealda "Alda" Prendaj '05 ,James Castellano '05, and Jason Gallant '05 do. All three believe that hidden in the still waters of the biology lab 's fish tanks are secrets vital to the healthy functioning of the human brain.

Developing ways to work together "On one level, our researc h is about the knife fis h's mid-brain and the generation of new neurons in the brain," says Gallant, a biology major from Ashford, Connecticut, who plans to enter a Ph.D. program and teach. "But the implications of our research go much deeper. I find it very interesting that, depending on the social context, these fis h communicate very differently, and I think tells us something abo ut ourselves ." In the biology lab, Gallant strolls among the 50 or so fish tanks and points out the subtle differences between the black ghost knife fish and the brown ones, between the males and the females. He and his colleagues call the lab the "Chirp C hamber," because, when threatened or excited by the presence of another fish, the knife fis h emit a high-frequency electric signal called a chirp that changes the electrical field around them. Gallant has written a computer software program that analyzes these chirps and converts them into an audio signal. When fed through an oscilloscope, the electrical waves can be counted: the fish emit about 900 hundred waves per second, or 900 He rtz. "People mistakenly assume these fish are robotic," Gallant says. "But I find it all really fasc inating. They have rituals of courtship and aggression, and they sense isolation and threat. In other words, they relate to their environment just as we humans do. The fact that they're communicating about it is compelling. Knife fish have poor eyesight, are

Building new brain cells AJda Prendaj and Jam es Castellano, two oth er students in th e electri c fish lab, come at th e knife fish experiments from a slightl y diffe rent angle. Both intend to enter th e field of medi cin e, and are primar il y concern ed with the mechan ics of neurogenesis, or th e ways in w hich th e brain can build new cells.

H e proudly po ints out favorites he's named Sparky and Lepton (a sub-atomic particle), alon g with three who bear nam es of famous fi gures in science: H eisenberg, Faraday, and Ohm. It's easy to see w hy Gallant, who has a minor in human ri ghts, anthropomorphizes th e fish. Like th e scientists of the R enaissance, he manages to combine th e philosophical with the practi cal.

ti on, th e knife fi sh can generate new neurons all th eir lives. It's a ph enomenon Pren daj and Castellano see as holding enormo us hope for humans. "We're providing a baseline study for using a non-mam mahan vertebrate system to decode th e relationship between behavior an d neuroplasti city," Castellano says. " It has majo r implicati ons for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Al zheim.er's." One reason fo r this li es in a special kind of brain cells called radi al glia. " Not much was kn own about th em oth er than that they provide a highway for neurons to migrate w here they need to go," explains Castellano, who is from N ew Suffolk, N ew York. " N ow we know that radi al glia are actu ally precursors to neuro ns- that they can differentiate" into th e more useful cells.

"There were 700 people there (an international conference in Copenhagen), 120 of whom were graduate students. There were virtually no undergraduates there, and the Trinity students won prizes for best graduate-level work."

Prendaj , Castellano, and Gallant have alrea dy received accolades for th eir wo rk. In Au gust, 2004, the team traveled to an internatio nal co nference in Copenh agen and presented th eir research. "There were 700 people th ere, 120 of w ho m were gradu ate stud ents," recalls Kent Dunlap, associate pro fessor of biology, und er whose directio n all three students are conducting their knife fi sh research. "There we re virtually no undergradu ates there, and the Trini ty stud ents wo n prizes fo r best gradu ate-level work." Of all three stud ents, D unlap says, "They are incredibly self-motiva ted.

Life and death , attachment and separation, are some of the key words that describe the content and dual concerns of my work. M y personal responses to environment, family, and sociery all have a bearing on what I produce as an artist. The significance of the work to me is the part it plays in processing the world (large or small) around me. I consider my work to be commemorative of experiences, and it exists as "constructed responses" to me. My intent is to move toward some kind of universal meaning or value, but what meaning, what value, is neither specific or explicit. Architectural forms have been long-term vehicles for expression in my work. I can relate to the house image physically, emotionally, and intellectually. My work refers to conunon experience, but I am also interested in unexpected juxtapositions and relationships. The unexpected in my work seems to occur when I use a process of combining or fusing seemingly unrelated images to synthesize a third. In the past, I have used the house image as a metaphor for religion, death, marriage, and more recendy, self. I have combined other images with the house image to convey personal attitudes and thoughts about these things. For the past several years, I have fused figurative elements with architectural forms to achieve a more direct emotional/ psychological qualiry in the work. Most recendy, the addition of rubber as an element has added associations I am working toward. Ambiguiry and tension have to be present for me to be satisfied with the work, but I try to achieve this in serene form.

TRINITY REPORTER

I Spri11g 2005

Dear Friends: A community can be defined in many ways, but perhaps the most common way is by its size. Trinity College has approximately 2,000 undergraduate students in a given year and much smaller groups of master's and IDP students. While these numbers remain fairly constant from year to year, Trinity's alumni conm1Unity does not. This community, which now numbers approximately 20,000, adds about 500 active members to its ranks each year. While we sadly lose a number of alunmi each year, these numbers are smaller by comparison. Thus, Trinity's alumni are its largest permanent constituency.

It is a wonderful responsibility and an honor to help steward the relationship between the College and its alumni. There are thousands of wonderful stories and cherished memories that make up this community. These are shared in many ways-through publications like the Reporter, in individual friendships, and in larger settings, including Trinity Area Club receptions around the country and at major events on campus like Reunion and Homecoming. Your National Alunmi Association Executive Committee (NAA) serves as an advisory committee to help the staff of the College in their efforts to steward this relationship, and it considers conm1unication a vital part of this process. In my letter that appeared in the last issue of the Reporter, I outlined the NAA's working conunittees, their tasks, and their chairs. The committees are hard at work on the issues of alumni communications, area club progranuning, strategic planning, the functioning and role of the NAA, and the creation of an Alunmi Social Council to help provide guidance to the social and cultural organizations at Trinity. Mary Jo Keating '74, in her role as chair of the alumni communications ad hoc conmuttee, invites you to e-mail her at keatimj@NU.COM if you have any questions. I would like to direct your attention to an important recent development in alumni co1m11Unications and to take a nunute to talk about Reunion. The Alumni Relations Office introduced an electronic alunmi newsletter last year, the Trinity College eNews. Four issues have been created and e-mailed, and the next issue will go out shortly. If you haven 't seen it, I urge you to go to www.trincoll.edu, click on "Alumni," and go to "Stay Connected." It is an in1pressive newsletter that pulls information from a number of sources. If you do not receive it now, please e-mail or call the Alunmi Relations Office and provide them with your e-mail address. You can also access all Trinity Area Club activities from the Trinity Web site as well (also under "Alumni,") so you nught want to bookmark the Trinity Web site. Finally, Reunion this year is June 9-12. Class years ending in "0" and "5" will be celebrating milestone reunions. Please plan to return to our beautiful campus for this terrific celebration. One important item of business: Each year during Remuon, the NAA holds its Armual Meeting for the purposes of electing NAA Executive Committee members and officers, presenting the president of the College with Reunion Class Gifts, presenting alm=i awards, and transacting any other business that needs NAA approval. Over this past year, we undertook a review of our constitution, which has not been updated since 1992. The Executive Committee has spent many hours, under the leadership of Shawn Wooden '91, poring over tlus document to improve it and to make sure it reflects the nussion of our organization now and in the future. The proposed changes will be voted on during the Annual Meeting on Saturday, June 11, 2005. Please go to the Trinity Web site, and click on www.trincoll.edu/ Alumni / nationalalumni/ to see the constitution, along with a brief COI1Ul1entary explaining the changes. I wish you all a pleasant spring and hope that you will return to Trinity during this wonderful time of year. Sincerely, Hal Smullen '76 President, National Alunmi Association

Susmita extends thanks to us for helping in her pursuit of her degree. Classmate Mack Lane passed away recenrly. I have a photo of him in his WWII uniform, tall, thin, and dapper. Mack was involved in track and cross country while majoring in math and economics. Also gone is our old teammate in track, Dr. Art Hazenenbush who also was the College's assistant organist in our time in addition to his heavy premed schedule. We miss them both . Your Correspondent, after robust, lifelong health, fell victim to the surgeon's knife and is very slowly recovering and resuming an active life. Please help with this colunu1 by sending something worth reporting to yo ur classmates (ra1372@earth.link.net). It was momentous to see the results of some major sports. Trinity's football Bantams had another perfect season, making it their second in a row. And to cap it off, they beat Wesleyan, 40-6. Football summary has Trinity ranked number one in New England and 21st in the nation. One of our players, a free safety, made All American. The baseball team record was good, also. They won 27 games, losing only nine, and the schedule included some large institutions. We continue to do very well in athletics.

She is involved with the Biomedical Research Society and in the development of a robot, and is taking engineering and math courses. The interesting design of the robot is that of an autonomous vehicle that can navigate outdoors using a camera, a gobal positioning system, and a complex algorithm. Something new for us old timers: there now is a program called Resident Assistants. Each dorm at the College has an R .A. who organizes programs for students to encourage them to participate in various activities going on in the campus. This should be particularly useful to first-year students.

Just received the winter 20005 issue of the R eporter, a blockbuster issue. R ead with great interest President James F. Jones' ina ugural address. On page 49, you'll find Tom Tamoney's picture. You wouldn 't need a caption to recognize Tom, he's changed so little in appearance since college days. Tom appears with President Jones and his son, Tom, Jr. , at a welcoming function in Fairfield, C T. I telephoned Tom at his new home in a retirement facility affiliated with St. Joseph College in West Hartford, CT. I called to express my sympathy over the death of his brother, Dr. Harry. John Bonee '43 wrote a beautiful testimo ny to Han-y. You'll find it on page 54 of the magazine. Tom practiced law until quite recentl y but, at the urging of hi children, he has retired. Tom is a true Trini ty loyalist. Sent his children to Trini ty. His daughter, C lass of'82, is a classmate of my own daughter. He's very happy with his present li ving situation, having at his disposal all the ri ch cultu ral life ofSt.Joseph College. Talked with my good coll ege fri end, Henry Rothauser, who, as Tom, has never left the H artford area. H e has never been sedentary, though, traversing the wo rld as a Coast Guardsman, across the Artie Circle, the Eq uator, up and down the Greenland coast, to the furthest reaches of the inland wa ter system, Duluth. As a civilian, he got as fa r as Yellowknife in the Canadian N orthwest. H enry makes all the reunions and has been a genero us financial su pporter of the College. Although he's not traveling now, he pursues an adve ntu rous culrural life, attending many of the fun ctions at the Bushnell Center: opera, symphony concerts, ballet .... Conve rsed with Fred Jacobs . Fred was a high-fl yer in the true sense of the word. He wo re out two gliders, accumulating thousands ofh ours fl ying time. He fl ew until a few years ago when, in mid-air, his craft fell apart. Fred worked as a chemist for H eublein. We reminisced about the H eublein Tower, a pro minent fea tu re atop Avon Mountain . Fred has go ne to that pinnacle many times, quite a climbing fea t. By way of compensating fo r his being gro un ded, he travels afar on the magic carpet of his computer, using its games' fea tures. Afi:e r many years of marriage, his wife passed away a little more than a yea r ago, but he is comforted by fo ur children and nin e grandchildren.

My next call was to Charlie Kuehn , now in Washin gto n, N C. N o t cbair-bound he. He was out playing golf w hen I called in the mo rning. I did reach him later o n, but he wo uldn't reveal his score, claimed he only played for exe rcise. H e was a high- level executive fo r H amilton Beach-CPA, comptroller. I was to tally surprised when he told me be had just published a book o n religio n. H e characterized it as being "conservative"-quite in keeping with his Lutheran, Missouri-synod upbringing. He is now a Presbyteri an. He said he had considered coming to the 60th R euni on but missed it. H e is now looking fo rwa rd to tbe 65th, ju t a coupl e of years away. Heading south, I reached Charley Johnson , w ith w hom I am in frequent touch. He had rea d President Jo nes' speech and was impressed by its scholarly co ntent. He th o ught th at not since President Lockwood did we have a president of like aca demic bac kgro und . While th e last \\inter was not all that warm, it was certainly wa rmer than N ew Jersey. Charley generally goes to the British Virgin Islands but is skipping them this year. Have been having great co nversatio ns over th e Intern et with Dr. Fowler White-witty, entertaining, interestin g. H e's something of a philosopher-on th e wry side.

John and Elaine were introduced as a match-making strategy of the Republican Town Committee to improve relations between the West End and North End Republicans. But if you have read Elaine's obituary you know the real story. On the firs t day of class in September 1935, Elaine and John were assigned seats next to each other in Ms. Ruggles' Latin Class. It was just plain old- fashioned love at first sight. I don't recall that John and Elaine were Latin scholars, but how could they keep their minds on Latin while sitting next to each other. .. John and Elaine went steady all through high school. In our class of 650, they were among the best dancers and the best looking. They were fun to be with. They were fun to double date with ... One story that made the rounds was that one night after a school dance, John wanted to impress Elaine. He arranged for a party offour couples to go to the O ld English Room at the Hotel Bond. That was impressive. At the end of the evening, the waitress presented the bill to John. John, always a gentleman, said to the waitress, "Waitress, this bill looks awfully big. All we had was coffee and sandwiches." The waitress said "Well, sir, you have to pay for the ambiance too." John turned to his friends and said, "Which one of you guys ordered the ambiance?" . . . The greatest happiness and success in Elaine's life has been her family, her husband, and her children. The Bonees are a mutual admiration society. They are proud of each other, and have so much to be proud of. Anyone who has had occasion to visit the Bonee home at 223 Terry Road has experienced the love, the happiness, the enjoyment, the pride, the goodness of the Bonee Fanuly. The visit nl.ight involve a surprise. Once when I was visiting, one of the then small boys looked me over and said, "Father Daly, did anyone ever tell you you were good looking?" After recovering from the surprise, I said, " No. Now that you mention it, I can't recall anyone ever saying that." He said "That's what I figured." .. .In her own unique personal way, in many ways, Elaine served God well-as a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother and grandmother, a friend, and neighbor, a member of her church, in her civic activities, in accepting and enduring illness. We are confident that God's judgment will be-well done, Elaine, thou good and faithful servant. Enter into my Kingdom ... Elaine Sheridan Bonee whom we remember today has entered into the peace of life eternal. Elaine still lives on earth in the acts of goodness she performed, and in the hearts of those who continue to love her and remember her. May the goodness and example of Elaine's life remain a part of us, so that we in our lives may be a blessing to others, as Elaine in her life was a blessing to us." James Norbert Proulx died during the past year. The Class mourns his passing and extends condolence to his fanlliy. His death was just recently emailed to Your Secretary by Bob Whitsitt '42 with no detail other than that which is printed here. And I quote from his e-mail, "I was reading the Class Notes and do not see any mention of Jinuny Proulx who graduated in 1943. He had been in the Class of' 42, but failed to finish one course and graduated in your class. For information contact his son, Alan Proulx: 3816 Sherbrook Dr., Santa Rosa, CA, 95404. He was a great friend of nune through the years . He lived long after having around nine strokes' His wife, Toni, had died a few years earlier. Please correct this!" Your Secretary will provide additional information concerning James in a future edition of these notes, provided those having such information give it to him in timely fashion.

Alumni Fund Goal: $10,000 Class Secretary : Thomas A. Snl.ith , 21 Grieg Rd., Westerly, RI 02891-4771 e-mail: thomas.snuth.1944@trincoll.edu Class Agents: Walter H. Ghent; Charles Jarvis Harriman; Richard E. Haskell; Merritt Johnquest; H . Martin Tenney, Jr.; Robert Toland, Jr. C. Jarvis Harriman wrote in January from Tucson to say that he had written to George Will '62 , after reading a column Will had written this past fall critical of the liberal bent of many U.S. campuses, to ask his opinion ofTrinity's state. Will replied to Jarvis' letter on the telephone, telling him, as Jarvis reported, "that he thought at Trinity the top echelon had always been pretty sane and solid, and he believed that the campus was better than the ones he was writing about." Jarvis said that he would be writing to Lew Dabney to thank him for the work he had done polling the Class on the occasion of our 60th Reunion. Accompanying Jarvis' letter was a paper he had written last December for a nephew who had become particularly interested in the European Union while spending a college semester studying in Spain. In the paper, he described for his nephew the work of the Moral ReArmament movement in the United States and in Europe during the decade after the end ofWWII. Jarvis was stage manager for " The Good Road," a musical review produced with a multilingual cast of about 150 m.embers of MRA. The review played in the Hollywood Bowl, in Washington, DC, then in Switzerland at Caux, in various West German cities, in Holland, and finally in England for a month at His Majesty's Theatre in London. Jarvis' sununary of that experience: "We had played the show for 20,000 people. What had they seen? This defeated, broken nation [Germany], hungry, unemployed, destitute, had been faced with a stage full of the people they had made war against-French, British, Dutch, Belgian, Norwegian, Danish, American, Canadian, Australian .... with outstretched hands, offering to work together and build together, on the roots of their common heritage, to build a new world with them." "The Good Road" played before many different kinds of audiences, and MRA, because of its success and other efforts to rehabilitate and to unite the peoples of Europe after the war, earned the trust of post-war leaders in both Germany and France and was instrumental in bringing them together to take the first steps toward the formation of the European Union and the transformation ofEurope. Jarvis is justifiably proud of his work with MRA, and I assume that he would be willing to provide copies of the piece he wrote for his nephew to other members of the Class interested in the creation of the new Europe. It provides an interesting and moving insight into a part of history that most of us know relatively little about. You can reach him at 1209 North Tracy Ave., Tucson , AZ, 85715 Merritt Johnquest- "Moo"--sent an anecdote demonstrating how small the world has become. He wrote that his granddaughter introduced him to a friend from Morocco who was, it turned out, a fraternity brother. "Moo" was a Signn Nu at Trinity; the Moroccan was a Sigma Nu atYale.

Your secretary has heard a number of interesting rumors about our classmates recently: Brent Harries set sail for Tahiti earlier tllis year. Bernie Wilbur signed on as cook/navigator. They plan to return in time for Reunion Weekend. Last fall, Roger Hall made his first hole in one at the Cheshire Pitch and Putt Country Club, and promptly hung up his golf clubs to join Irene in her dressage classes. Your secretary understands that Ted Dilorenzo is looking for a partner to open up a law office in Hawaii to practice retirement law. Classmates will be given preference. Frank Patterson reports that he just completed a deal to sell Rockefeller Center to the Rockefeller fanlily. This is, he says, " the crowning jewel" in his New York City real estate career. Justin Maccarone is still active in career counseling for retired teachers. He works out of his West Hartford office and offers free advice to any member of the class of 1950. Dr. Joseph Bennett ("Winkie") has issued a challenge to any class member to top his 15 grandchildren, all of whom he plans to enroll at Trinity.

Monty Young is still actively restoring ancient objects found wandering around the Arizona desert near Sedona. He offers special rates to his classmates. Bob Tansill and Frank Sherman will welcome any classmates who want to join them in their annual cross country bike ride. This year they will ride to Topeka, Kansas, to catch up with John Grill and return by car with him in time for reunion. We understand that Judge Peter Van Meter is on the shortlist of judges being considered as replacements for Judge Judy when she retires next year. Former roommates Bob Tsu and Art Austin are planning to caravan back to Trinity for our 55th and would be happy to pick up any classmates between California and Connecticut. Frank Eblen , President of Eblen Enterprises, has expressed an interest in promoting nell:t year's Super Bowl. As far as we know none of the above is true. But this is the last column before our 55th Reunion and we wanted to use this space to renlind you that your presence is important to your classmates. Please plan on conling!

I used th e valuable info rmati on to write th e following story. I think it is a story worth telling because it involves th e ri ghts of American citize ns. A Tribute to Sam William Saburo Nakaso, kn own to all in th e C lass of 1952 as "Sam ," di ed recentl y in San Jose, C A, after a long fight against prostate cancer. H e was 77 yea rs old . He was born in C iliforrua to parents o f Japanese ancestry. During World War ll , when Sam was a teenage r, his fa mil y was classified as " Nisei." President Franklin D. R oosevelt issued an executive order that stated that Japanese-American citize ns should be intern ed in relocati on camps in California, Oregon, and Washington and elsewhere away fro m the Pacific Coast for reasons of nati onal securi ty. T he Supren1e Court later uph eld th e controversial case by a 5-4 decision.The Nakaso fanlil y, however, had been sent to a relocati on ca mp in Utah. Ironicall y, Sam 's sister was recruited by th e federal governm ent and sent to Yale University to teach th e Japanese language to offi cers in th e Uruted States military. After several yea rs, she was able to get Sam released from th e relocation camp, and he traveled to N ew H aven, CT, to li ve with her. Sam entered Hillhouse High School, a school th en known throughom th e state for championship football and basketball teams. Sam was 5' 4" tall and weighed 150 pounds. Because of his considerable athletic skills, Sam became qu arterback and played with full back Levi Jackson who was 6' 2" and 225 pounds. The team wo n recognition as th e o. 1 team in Connecti cut in 1945 .Jac kson, a black man, entered Yale and later became an All Ameri can football player and was elected captain of th e team , th e first black ever chosen. Sam became an outstandin g basketball player at Hillhouse, and was widely known for his passing abilities and settin g up plays for his team mates, th e modern day version of " point guard." H e was acclaimed as a defensive expert for stealing th e ball and settin g up th e fast break. Sam was selected to the All-State basketball team by th e Connecti cut sports writers. Sam entered H opkins Gramma r, a prep school in H amden, C T, and fro m th ere he entered Trinity in 1948 where he earned va rsity letters in foo tball, basketball, and track. Sam was drafted into the Army durin g th e Korean War and served his country. H e return ed to Triruty and received his degree in 1954 and went on to earn his M .A. from Columbia University in physical edu cation. H e returned to Cilifornia and became head trai ner and coach of soccer, track, tennis, and golf over a distinguished career of 35 yea rs at San j ose C ity College. Beloved and a mentor to many youn g coaches at the college, Sam retired as professo r emeritus in physical edu catio n. H e also worked wee kends as assistant train er fo r th e San Francisco 49ers at home ga mes for several seasons . In his retirement, he loved to play golf with his wife, Hiko, and with his Trinity fri end , Larry Hutnick. Larry wo uld travel twice a yea r to visit

H e an d his wife, Carolyn , were attending a farewell parry honoring some friends one afternoon a few months ago, being held at their co untry club in Pinehurst, NC. Those attending heard th e wind howling outside, but it didn 't intetfere with the festivities . When they left th e club and drove home about an ho ur later, they discovered a portion of the roof of th eir townhouse had been blown away by th e wind, which was classified as a tornado. " It was amazing," Bill recalled. "We saw some trees down on th e way home and bega n to wonder, but when your see yo ur roof gone, it's a new e:>.:p erience." Fortunately, one portion of their home was undisturbed, so th ey were able to remain th ere durin g th e reconstru cti o n process, which stretched over three months. The Crensons have some exlJerience in dealing with housing issues: following his retirement after a ca reer as teacher, coach, and school administrator, th ey bought a bed and breakfast in N ew Hampshire and operated it for six years. They sold the business and moved to Pinehurst, where Bill has a busy schedule, w hich includes golf and maintaining his 11 handi cap. "A lot of people think about running a B and B, but we actuall y did it," Bill said. "We had a great tim e, working together, and meeting guests who came from all over the world." In addition to other business interests, Dave and Deborah MacKenzie and th eir family for 31 yea rs have operated one of th e best-known dude ranches in the west, the Red Rock Ranch , near Ja ckson Hole, WY. For an interestin g Intern et tour of the ranch, readers can look here: th eredrockranch. com.

reported: " M y wife, Candace, and I visited D ave and D eborah at R ed Rock R anch outside Kelly, WY, for two nights. It is a delightful place in a beautiful part of th e cou ntry, and I would reconunend it to anyone looking for an oppo rruni ry to ride, fish, hike, and otherwise enjoy what is still the wide and open American West. A great pleasure." In others news, Gordon West reports that he and his wife, Joan, have joined a mentoring program sponsored by the State of Florida and th e local school system. This program selects children in th e seventh grade w ho are performing well, but are from families with li.t11ited means.

Although we are just a few short weeks away from our 50th reunion , our conmlittee headed by Bob Shay continues to work hard at making the event as broadly enjoyable as possible for the maximum number of returnees. It looks like we will have a great turnout with classmates Hank Scheinberg and John Palshaw cooling from the West Coast; Terry Ford from Panama; and don't be surprised that Kit Morgan from Texas tries to parachute onto the campus, a function he did often as part of the 82nd Airborne. During the first half of 2005, Your Secretary had the pleasure of visiting classmates during my travels. I had a wonderful visit with Frank Cerveny and his wife, Emmy, during Super Bowl weekend in Jacksonville. As Carol and I continu ed our trip south, the Cervenys joined the mayor of Jacksonville and other local dignitaries for the big game in the mayor's private box. Frank maintains a very busy schedule of clerical responsibilities, non-profit board work and charitable instirutional development efforts. On a trip to Philadelphia Charlie Eberly and I attended a special recognition dinner honoring Charlie's wife's father. Eugenia was the primary speaker remembering her dad who was a long-term prep school Athletic Director, coach and major college football official. Both of them will be joining us at our reunion. Don Mountford has put forth considerable effort generating a class history and assembling the bios of our classmates. In February he organized a nuni-reunion in Florida with Lou Magalener and Tom Allocco, both of whom are planning to be on campus for the big get together. Our football Captain, Lou , has shifted his athletic prowess to the tennis court and is ready to take on all comers (Ed Yeomans has accepted the challenge). Don says Tom is as witty as ever and much fun to be with. It will be great to see all three on June 10-12. Those of the comnlittee who have been calling classmates and encouraging them to attend are many, but we should recognize certain ones for their extensive efforts, Gordan Maitlan Bob Laird, Bill O'Hara, Dick Zampiello, Dave Roberts, Bill Laporte, Scott Price, plus others have made significant efforts to be sure we get a large turnout. During early April it appeared our returnees could total close to eighty classmates, plus spouses. It should be a big and enjoyable affair. Look forward to seemg you on campus.

tough nliles to get there, but Bruce says it's worth every nlile. Their lakeside cabin is on a beautiful cove, which they share with five other fanlilies-people whom he's known most of his life. Sununers on the lake are full of fun with boating, swinmung, hiking, and being active with th eir five grown children-and then just sitting on big rambling porches. Sounds lovely. They are both deeply involved with their church, Bruce as church treasurer and Betty as sophomore deacon. He also works as treasurer for the National Federation of the Blind for the State of Connecticut, and he renunded me that both of them are, in fact, legally blind themselves. He looks forward to our 50th with great anticipation, as do I. Skip Beardsell's Christmas letter brought me up to date on hi summer and his planned trip to St. Louis to spend it with son, Mark, and his fanlily. I reported on his trip to eastern Europe with Sid and Beau Coursen in the last newsletter-where they all found Prague the highpoint. Bill Dakin and his wife had a five-week trip to New Zealand in February and March of last year. While there, they hiked, kayaked, and fished and did something called " tandem skydiving" in a Wanaka, which sounds potentially deadly. John Ritter has become quite a good photographer! He sent me some wonderful photos he took last sununer. It really began, it seems, when he attended a narure photography workshop in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan last August. He says he learned a great deal, which was clearly evident by the splendid photos he sent me. At the workshop, they often shot pictures in the very early morning to catch the dramatic lighting possible then. The pictures were of Oxford, MD, where he and his wife, Edith, spend a month each year, and out West in Colorado (including Pike's Peak) . They seemed very professional level to me, and I hope he brings more of such photographs to our 50th Reunion. Roger Martin , who lives in Swanzey, NH, sent a news clip announcing that he is presently teaching accounting as part of the faculty at the Keene campus of New H ampshire ConmmnityTechnical College, which is an integral part of the curriculum of the management department. He is well qualified for this endeavor, it seems, with (besides his B.A. from Tri11ity) two master's degrees from the University of Hartford and a doctorate from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. I assume he is teaching in retirement after working for the General Electric Co., Stanley Tool, and Aetna Life and Casualty. He has also taught at Community College ofVermont and is professor emeritus from Keene State College. I recently spent a day and two nights in Nassau , the Bahamas, where the 50-plus-year-old memories of a splendid spring break sailing trip came flooding back. My memory is a bit fuzzy, but I believe Jim Burroughs and Hank Williams were aboard the 19-foot, doubleended, gaff-rigged sailing boat we boldly, and stupidly, took across from Biscayne Bay, FL, to Nassau. The town of Nassau has changed drastically-gone big time-and it was hard to recognize any of the old sites. If any who read this have some (printable) memories of this adventure to share, send them on to me, please.

After living in Connecticut for more than 50 years, Joan and Norm Kayser live in Bonita Springs, FL, in the winter and in the Asheville, NC, area in the summer. They sold their Connecticut condo and built a townhome at The CliffS at Walnut Cove in the mountains of western North Carolina.

Alumni Fund Goal: $80,000 Class Secretary : Arthur G. Polstein, 20 Bentagrass Ln., Newtown, CT06470-1928 e-mail: arthur.polstein .1958@trincoll .edu Class Agents: Joseph J. Repole,Jr.; Edward B. Speno

News is always welcome here. Thanks to those who have sent something since my last report. Thanks to those who keep in touch at Christmas time. Your news is important to other classmates, and I will make sure it gets into print. As most of you know, Joe Repole and Ed Speno are our Class Agents, and they continue to do a magnificent job. The Alumni Fund Class Results as listed in the Ci11ing to Trinity Annual R eport for 20032004 show that the Class of 1958 m.aintains a high status as financial donors to the College. Of the 28 classes listed from 1931 to 1958, we are number three in the amount given to the College. Not bad for a bunch of mostly retired guys. Thanks to Joe and Ed, our efforts do not go unnoticed. ow on to other news. Roy Mcllwaine sent a new e-mail address. No other news from Roy, but if you want the address, write to me and l will be glad to relay it to you , especially if you send me news. I failed to include in my last article that Peter Ferrucci reported that the Florida hurricanes of 2004 had left his part of Florida relatively unscathed. That is good news. ot so good was a report from Ji m Studley that he had experienced some severe water leakage from roof damage caused by Hurricane Ivan in his part of Florida near Pensacola. Due to a shortage of roofers, Jim will have to wait until early March to make full repairs and has been living with a tarp on his roof. Jim was on Cape Cod when the hu rricane srruck in Florida, so he got a late start on his repairs. Jim has finally retired from lmtra Corporation. That gives him more time to travel to visit his children in Massachusetts and Minnesota . Joe Repole has reported that he completed a 100-mile trip on his bicycle on Feb. 7, which extends Joe's streak of 100-mile trips to 154 months in a row. Joe has ridden 92,000 miles in the past 19 years and 5,045 miles in 2004 and says that "sometimes, it has been tough, I've been run off the road, run over, run down." He recently appeared to advocate the building of a bicycle and pedestrian trail on an unused railroad right-of-way in the Framingham/ Sudbury, MA, area. Joe also reports that he currently has five grandchildren, ages 13 to 21, and his daughter-in-law is currently expecting to add to that with twins in May. Joe is already ordering tri cycles for the twins. Joe is also jubilant about

the Red Sox World Series victory. He was in attendance at Fenway Park to see the curse reversed. Thanks to Joe, we have some news from Jerry Barth . Jerry is also in the gra ndchild business and reports that he has nine with six living nearby. Jerry recently attended his 50th high school reunion and is planning to attend our 50th. Hopefully all of us will be th ere to greet Jerry. Some bad news was received from Gus Crombie who informed me that John Crandall lost his wife to cancer early in January. John currently lives in North Attleboro, MA , and we all send our sincerest condolences to John. Also, Your Secretary noticed in the last issue of the Trinity Reporter that Hal Drinkaus had died in 2003. Hal was one of my roommates during our sophomore year when we lived in Jarvis Hall. Hal had been a resident of Salt Lake City, UT, for many years, and he will be missed by all . Your Secretary reports the birth of a grandson born in December and now has four grandchildren. The significance here is that our grandson is the fi rst boy born into my wife's direct fanuly line since the late 1800s. Bill Saunders is taking some time off from work and testing retirement, but expects to be back at "formal employment" later this year. In the meantime, he is planning some travels and enjoying watching his eight-month-old twin grandsons' growth patterns. Peter Garrett had a great trip to Italy in November. H e and his wife, Ruth, joined a large group from Newtown, CT, on this trip. He also reported that the cruise through the Baltic Sea and back to the United States in August was terrific. For those of you who might have nussed the fall 2004 issue of the Trinity Update, it contained a full-page article about Bordie Painter. The executive comnuttee of the Board of Trustees recently accepted gifts endowing the Borden W Painter, Jr. '58, H'95 Chair for European History. The endowed fund will support a full or associate professorship in European history. The article tracks 50 years of Bordie's life at Trinity from the day he stepped on campus with all of us in 1954 to his becoming the 20th president ofTrinity. Congratulations, Bordie. We are all proud of you. Also of note in that issue of the Trinity Update was a gift to the College of one-nUllion dollars by th e fanlliy of Ben Williams. The gift was in memory of Albert C. Williams '64, Ben's brother, and was to support the Trinity/ SINA Community Sports Complex where the new Trinity hockey rink is presently being built. As has been mentioned in prior reports, if you wish to assist Ben with continuing financial efforts for the hockey rink, please contact either the College or Ben. I have heard from several classmates over the Christmas holidays. Jack McGowan says all is well with him in Branford, CT. Bill Lorson and his wife, Joann, spent Christmas in San Diego, CA, visiting with friends. They are expecting a second grandchild later this year. Joann says, "Yahoo!" Bill continues to tutor kindergarten children in reading, and he and Joann are involved in a number of volunteer activities in the greater Orlando, FL, area. Dot Chekas, widow of Sock Chekas, is spending the winter months in the Myrtle Beach, SC, area away from the cold of New Hampshire w here she continues to live. Dot is frequently in Connecticut visiting with her sons. Carole Bowden, widow of Tom Bowden , had her fanlliy visiting for the Christmas holidays, and she reports she is recovering from rotator cuff surgery. Otherwise, all is well with Carole. She continues to travel frequently.

Greetings, Class of 1959 . C redit for this letter goes mostly to Bill Abeles, ace reporter, who pried mu ch info out of some classmates we have n't heard fi路om lately. First, congratulations an d thanks to Charlie Nichols w ho is th e first (and I hope not th e last) classmate to w rite me a letter concerrun g his current ac tivities. H e was kind enough to include an obituary of Charli e Weeks (see "In Memory"), who retired from banking in 1990 and passed away last ovember (following a bri ef appearance at our R eunion last June). At Trinity, Charli e was into jazz, and his obituary appeared in the D ecember 2004 Jazzgram of the Jazz Institute of C hicago where C harlie served as president for th e past six yea rs. As th ey say in C hi cago, a place that knows something about j azz, Charlie was "in it-playin g or listening." Howard R eich wrote an eq ually laudatory obituary in the C hicago Tribune, noting Charlie's time at Trinity, his impact on music as an active member of th e Jl , and his contribution as a skilled, reliable, and gentle criti c of aspiring or playing musicians. Charlie Nichols has been retired for three yea rs, has had both hips replaced , has clamps in his back (I believe), an d is referred to by his grandson as Robo-gramps. Last fall, he visited Butch Lieber in Aventura (slightly north of Miami Beach), Tim Horne in Naples, and Doug and Carol Frost and the Abeleses in H agerstown , MD. Si Levit, with his wife, futa, of more than 40 years, is still a practi cing cardiologist in Tulsa, OK. They are justly proud of th eir 39-year-old son who recentl y becam e th e yo un gest college president (check all sup erlatives with Bill Abeles) at University of Oklahoma/ Tulsa. His dau ghter is 6o

a Tulane grad and social worker in Houston and is mother to th e Levits' two grandchildren. Si's real claim to fame, however, is not as a physician, but rath er as a high school basketball player competing against Wilt C hamberlin-final gam e score undocumented. Ron Reopel has retired as teacher and footba ll coach at Wesrfield High School in M assac husetts, where his teams won 149 games. Ron and his bride of 44 years now split time between a golf paradise at Sunset Beac h, NC, and his sunm1er home in Winthrop, ME. Fred Molineux has retired after 25 yea rs as head of risk management for Jo hnson & Johnson in N ew Jersey. He, like R eopel, found golf in Southport, NC, but his primary residence is still Pittstown, NJ, with a sunm1 er ge taway in Seaside Park , NJ. Fred and his wife, Renee, have four children. His daughter, Susan '82 , was wo rking for AO high in the World Trade Center. On 9/ 11 , she was in the M arriott when the first aircraft stru ck the WTC and, fortun ately, survived. Mike Palmer, retired in Mansfi eld, CT, was featured in a recent article in the Chronicle. Mike has been working with computers as a volunteer, teaching Intern et skills to retired senior citize ns. Professionall y, he spent 30 yea rs with th e Connecticut D epartment of Mental R etardati on. During this period, he appli ed his skills from the newly emerging computer field to testing clients at th e Mansfield Training Center. He also spent seven yea rs searching for his paternal roots, turning his search into a blueprint for genealogical research. Turns out his family had iimrugrated to th e U ni ted States from Amdur, Belarus. Bob Spielman was perhaps th e leading professional aviator in our Class. Now retired from a military career that included over 4,500 hours mili tary j et- fighter time and a fi.1ll conm1ercial ca reer with Western and D elta airlines, he and his wife, D ebbie, live in Verdi , NV. Ever the avid sportsman, he continu es to hunt throu ghout th e great Ameri can West. The rest of th e year is spent Ayi ng his personal aircraft, towing gliders, soarin g (he has the regional record for altitude in the Schwei tzer 126 sail plan e), and competitive skeet shooting. O ur C lass suffered another major loss with th e recent death of Phil Simshauser to ca ncer. No details, as yet. Also, in case you missed it, the most recent issue of th e Trinity R eporter announ ced the deaths of two of our classmates, Michael M. Anderson and Robert P. Coyne . The same issue also reported th e passing of one Professor Ngu ye n Xu an Oanh in August of2003 . Some of yo u may remember him as one of our economic professors-a Vietnamese graduate of H arvard irreverently known on campus as Smiling j ac k. Emilee and I visited him at his home in Saigo n in January 1996. At th e tim e, he was sen ior economic adviser to Vietnam's th en Prime Minister Vo (in Hanoi). Previously, Professor Oanh , w ho had served in several very senior positions in th e South Vietnamese gove rnment, had been inca rcerated by th e North Vietnamese gove rnment for " rehabilitation." In 1996, however, he lived in a villa in Saigon, had two M erced es-Benz in th e driveway, and said he intended to spend his final yea rs in th e private sector. H e was a gracious host, and we discussed at some length th e two things we had most in common, our time at Trinity, and at th e oth er end of the spectrum , our time as uninvited guests of th e N orth Vietnamese. M y sincerest apologies to George Backman , w ho did not (as reported in th e fall 2004 issue of th e R eporter) lose his wife an d daughter. Thanks to Bill Crowell for settin g me straight. Although Your Current Class Secretary (s) present th e information we receive from va rious sources without extended in-depth verification, we fully intend to provide accurate information. Please advise as to errors, misinformation, etc. Best to yo u all. Jon R eynolds and Bill Abeles

Interestingly, th ere were three tim es as many Trini ty fa ns as th ere were Wesleya n fa ns, and I saw abo ut 20 o r so I kn ew. It was a great aftern oon, but I am still unh appy at having missed Ho mecomin g. Bruce Stone was good eno ugh to reca p fo r me some of th e goings on at the Homecomin g meetin g I nussed, so it was no t a total loss. I will use Bru ce's voice as I report o n some of th e fi ndi ngs he has sent on to me. " Bill Hunter is finishing up his second career. H e spent the first 20 years in the N avy after Trini ty. He has spent ano th er 20 yea rs working in Virginia Beach in th e priva te sector and may retire in th e next year or so. He, unfo rtun ately, is comnu tted to be in Austria during R euni o n time, so will be un abl e to attend our 45th. H e sends his best to those of us gathered 'nea th th e elms. " Frank Jago, still actively preaclung, w ill be a guest nu11ister all of Jun e and will not be able to j oin us, but he, too, sends his best."

Steve Siskind, like most of the attorn eys we all know, is still practi cing. Steve wo rks in NYC, still loves th e law, and is ho peful of being w ith us in June in H artfo rd . Steve's so n, David '84, is a doctor and practi ces in Long Island. Bruce also talked with Richard Stec and Mike Lieber. Both , unfo rtunately, are unlikely to be able to j oin us, but send along th eir very best to all. I hea rd from John Bassett, and he is plannin g o n j oining us. It will be great fi.m to catch up with th e old man . Being a Colorado perso n, it is all too infrequ ent th at we are all able to get to see Bass.

Henry writes that "these days it's a victory to stay one boat-length ahead of the sheriff." The R edeemer News of Bryn Mawr, PA, reported that the church held a winter luncheon on Jan. 9, 2005 to honor Rod Day, rector's warden. Bill McKnight writes that after 38 years at Citibank, he retired in 1999. Four months later, he joined PaineWebber as a practicing financial adviser to a group of individuals and families. This endeavor is very different from his corporate and investment banking career at Citibank. PaineWebber was later purchased by UBS. Bill says that with the global markets improving, his new career has become both stimulating and rewarding. The McKnight family continues to expand at the rate of one grandchild per annum. Kitty and Bill are now blessed with six, spread out between Los Angeles and Darien, CT. Bill hopes to see everyone at our '07 reunion. Bill Richardson plans to retire as president, CEO of the Kellogg Foundation at yea r's end. He plans to keep busy in retirement.

Senator Hillary Clinton and Mr. and Mrs. Shaquille O'Neal seated in the front row. Dave Alberts has had a very interesting career. He has been an oncologist and cancer drug developer for over 35 years, 30 of which have been spent at the University of Arizona . He counts himself as extremely fortunate to have started his career in math and science at Trinity. He has been successful in the business world also in that he has helped start four biotech companies. Dave married his Connecticut College sweetheart. They have two children and four grandchildren, all of whom live in the Tucson area. Dave recently was given in Seattle the third annual American Association of Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation Award for Excellence in Cancer Prevention Research. He was given this award for his multifaceted contributions that have advanced cancer prevention from the earliest pre-linked and clinical stages of drug development to definitive randomized controlled trials. He has authored or co-authored over 400 peer-reviewed publications, more than 90 book chapters and invited articles, and has served as editor and co-editor of four books. Most recently, he was appointed director of the Arizona Cancer Center.

Reynolds; W James Tozer, Jr. The last edition of our Class Notes included passing mention of classmate Richard Tuttle's rise to great prominence in the art world. I was under the in1pression that a feature article was to have appeared as well. Since tlus was not the case, let me make amends and refer you all to a terrific article in Art N ews Online (2004) that can be found at www.artnewsonline.com. (Search "Back Issues" and type in "Tuttle.") D ick's great talent has indeed been recognized. Harvard's Fogg Museum considers him an important American artist, and they have purchased no less than 17 of his works . Their most recent purchase was a Tuttle woodcut that we were fortunate enough to preview in the 1963 Ivyl Currently, Dick opens a 40-year retrospective exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in July of this year. The title of the exhibition is "The Art of Richard Tuttle," and it runs until Oct. 2, 2005 . Thereafter, the exhibit travels to seven other museums in the United States over the course of the next two years, including the Whitney in New York City. To learn of exact dates and locations near you , call the Sperone Westwater Gallery at (212) 999-7337 . Speaking of Dick Tuttle, Harold Vickery and partner, Dode, visited Dick and his wife, Mei-Mei, at their mesa top estate in Abiquiu, NM, (about an hour's drive north of Santa Fe). Harold reports that both are happy, healthy, and working hard. He says, "We enjoyed their warm hospitality and had a great time catching up, but we missed seeing their daughter, Martha , who had j ust returned to classes at Milton Academy." And as for nusses, Harold and Dode were fortunately not in Thailand when the tsunanli struck. Dave Wicks and others e-mailed Harold and were relieved learn that he and Dode were in L.A. at the time of the disaster. As for Dave, he promises us more news when he and Joan return from a trip to Chile in March. Bruce Hill continues his work with the little theater company that he helped to found and still teaches theater performance at the University of Pittsburgh where he enjoys full faculty benefits. The latest such perk,

he notes, was a mandatory online course in "sexual harassment." H e was told that it would take about 20 minutes to complete with a test

at the end. Two and half hours later, after having waded through what seemed to be reams of court cases and multiple vague examples of sexual harassment scenarios, he relates: "I emerged bleary eyed, confused, but determined to end the agony and take the test. Since l only got an 80 percent on the exam, I still appear to be an insensitive '60s pig! So here I stand, immobile at the far end ;f my classroom, in a full suit of medieval armor. I don't get much done in class, and the students have difficulty relating to me, but I remain chaste and litigation free!" On Nov. 29 of last year, Episcopal Charities of New York held its annual tribute dinner at the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine, where, with over 600 people in attendance, our Chad Minifie , among others, was honored for the major contribution that he made over his career in New York, helping those most in need in the community. Joining Jim Tozer in the audience to cheer him on were classmates Charlie McGill and Dick Field . Since Chad is sufficiently retired, he no longer has the Sunday sermon excuse for missing our Homecoming dinners. We, therefore, expect him to show up this year or next, even though he and Dottie have moved to Charleston . As reported in the Nov. 15 issue of Pensions & Investments, our own Don Smith was the best performing investment manager in the country over the preceding year for domestic value equity accounts. The 12month performance of his MicroCap, Mid Cap, All Cap, and LargeCap value accounts ranged from 45 percent to 68 percent. In fact, four of the top seven equity accounts of any kind were Don Smith acco unts, and the other three were energy accounts. By the way, those performance numbers were for the trailing 12 months through Sept. 30,2004. He repeated the feat for the 12 months ended Dec. 31! Way to go, Don! Just think what could have happened to the College's endowment with Don in charge! We are pleased to report that Susan Southworth , widow of our beloved Ken, has happily remarried. Her new husband is Bob Stevenson '57 , and Susan has promised that she will bring him around to meet us at our Homecoming dinner, which, by the way, will be held on Nov.12 this year. Susan, now Susan Stevenson or Mrs . Robert Stevenson,Jr., has a new address: 110 Martha's Rd.,Box 1003,Edgartown,MA 02539; her phone is 508 627-8576, and her e-mail is susanws1@earthlink.com. Congratulations, Susan , and we all look forward to meeting Bob. Jim Davison will be retiring from government work with the Navy in Washington at the old Washington Navy Yard on March 3, 2005 and plans to consult part time from home in Annapolis, MD. He will be restored to the status of "Belrway Bandit" employee, having held various corporate positions for 16 years before entering government service in 1983. Bill Howland now has a job again' Thanks to a friend from Mexico who coaxed him out of retirement, he is finding his new activity quite interesting. He has had to learn the upholstery business, which he discovers is really creative. While his travel ranges from Greenwich, CT, to the New Han1pshire border, the design work is concentrated in New York City, and it has been a good excuse for him to re-connect with his old textile friends in the city. In the process of obtaining this update from Bill, I learned that he and Dick Gooden were roommates at Trinity.While Bill was dating wife, Martha, at Marymount College, he was kind enough to arrange a blind date for Dick. Dick's date either presumed he was Catholic (or was nusinformed by Bill to close the deal) and was aghast to learn that Dick's father was a bishop! Or as Bill wo uld say: an SOB (son of bishop). Needless to say, that one didn't work out! Dick recalls his dad saying

Catholic priests had their better quarters but Episcopalian priests had their better halves. Actually, Dick is also the grand son of a bishop, too. Dick Gooden is currently a director at Citigroup Private Bank in L.A. Next August, he will complete 37 years with the bank and does not seem eager to retire. After starting with them in New York City, he worked overseas in Brazil, Argentina, Hong Kong, and other Asian Pacific countries, the last being Japan where he spent six years and met his future wife. They celebrate 22 years of marriage in May and now live in Century City. Their daughter teaches third grade at Roosevelt School in nearby Santa Monica. Lloyd Reynolds recently checked in to share emotions and insight of what he calls a "profound day" : " I finally registered for Social Security and Medicare. Yikes! Since l turn 65 in April, the format is to register three monms before your big 65th. You can defer the checks until 65 plus 6 months for those born in 1940, but each one of us should weigh the advantages and income crossover of delaying after that. Defmitely register for Medicare at 65 unless you 're covered by another employee program that is free. There are many advantages of Medicare that need to be reviewed by everyone to make an informed decision. You can now register and start benefits on line at www.ssa.gov or call 1-800772-1213. They will calculate your benefit while you wait and it was quite simple." Lloyd followed the public service announcement with a fanlliy update: "All is well with the Reynoldses. South Port Marine, LLC had another good year and was recently nonlinated for the Maine State 'Fanlliy Business of the Year' by Bank North in Portland . Quite an honor for us since we started out in this enterprise as part-time helpers for my oldest son, Kip, when he had a chance to buy it after running the yard for the former owners in 1996.Who'd 'a guessed it! After Lee and I thought that we'd help out for a few years, we now split our time almost equally berween Malvern, PA, Portland, ME, and other traveling for pleasure. If any of you downeast cruisin' buddies venture by Portland harbor, let us know. Special consideration pennants will always be raised for Trin '63 classmates. We've hosted a few of you already, including Marshall Blume , I think more than once. Check our Web site at Southportmarine.com. After her marriage last June, my daughter, Kyla, continues to manage the 'Snuthson Society' at the Snuthsonian Institution for 'contributing members,' which is one of the best deals in D.C. The 'Society' membership includes all kinds of perks/ special programs. We really have enjoyed getting to know our heritage behind the scenes and encourage all who enjoy the san1e to look into joining. Finally, Nicholas, our youngest (23), graduated from Colgate ('have to try something different, Dad,' even though accepted at Trin). He's now living in Cambridge, MA, while student teaching at The Shore Country Day School in Beverly, MA, and loves it." Kim and Judy Waterhouse continue to enjoy retirement in Bend, OR. They have been in their new home for just over a year now, and welcome any visitors who would like to see a little of central Oregon. To stay out of trouble, Kim has been driving a snow-grooming tractor, ferrying Boeing 747s part-time, and flying his radio-controlled airplanes a lot. Although Oregon has experienced an unusually warm winter, Kim still finds the skiing surprisingly quite good. He even reports (or brags oQ doing 20 runs in a single day!

Malcolm Graham reports that his first grandchild, Aidan Lucas Graham, was born on Nov. 9, 2004 to his son and his wife in State College, PA. This winter has been hectic for me as I shuttle between Arizona and Connecticu t. In the process, I had the opportunity to inspect John Pitcairn's Foothills Runrung Store in Phoenix and to fmally meet his better half, Kristin. They seem to be doing quite well and are certainly fit and trim! Mike Masius also stopped by to inspect while doing another of his Leukemia Marathons in Phoenix. Keep up the good work,John! As to my other Arizona rounds, Nancy and I will be having lunch in Tucson with Will Files and partner, Martha Ellen. They j ust returned from a fascinating adventure in Ethiopia. Martha Ellen's nephew married a "princess" whose family still lives in Addis Ababa. With a huge celebration planned, they decided to represent the U.S. family, since nobody else had the desire to make the long trip. They considered it the chance of a lifetime and now report that it was! "Afrer losing our luggage for a week, we still had a trip back into the past, and the stark present, with a taste of the future. A side trip to Lalibela reminded us of biblical times. People walking to market, or to get water; donkeys everywhere carrying bundles of hay or grain; cooking smoke arising from thatched huts; us with our digital cameras. "To top that, the town was on the side of a mountain. Their forefathers had carved 11 churches into the rock around the peak. Now I don't mean some little model, but real life-sized structures. First they had excavated the exteriors-the walls with columns. Then they hollowed out the interiors to make beautifully, exquisitely decorated places of worship. Remarkably, these were all active churches with regular chanting and services. Some call this the eighth wonder of the world. No argument from us. "North to Axum where we found remains of the palace of the Queen of Sheba. She had an affair with King Solomon and produced a son, Menelik, w hose dynasty ruled Ethiopia until Haile Selassie was overthrown by the Dergs (Communists) in 1974. Talk about a sense of history. "Further south was Bahir Dar and Lake Tana. This is the head of the Blue Nile. So who has the rights to the waters of the Nile? Visited an Orthodox (these are the original Christians) Church across the lake (afi:er a one hour boat ride-- powered by a rune horsepower Yamaha). Natives going to market paddled by us in their papyrus boats. The 400year-old church had paintings preserved that told biblical and Ethiopian soul legends. Beautiful works of art. Afi:er all, tlus was the center of civilization. "Upon our return to Addis Ababa, we attended the wedding celebration. Five of us white folks in the wedding party from the Uruted States walked into a room filled with 295 very black people. Talk about being in the minority. Everyone was warm and welconung. We felt accepted and honored to be part of such a special occasion. Our new ruece is Gelila. Her family and friends all took us into their homes with open arms and the customary three touches of the cheek (right, left, right). "We left with many happy memories of strong, vibrant, resourceful people, living in a beautiful country, but were sad to see so much poverty, pollution, and disease. Nonetheless, it was a fantastic experience!"

Charlesworth, M.D. ; Richard C. Risse!; Lindley C. Scarlett Bob Stepto writes that the Steptoes are doing better in learni ng to live with the death of their son. Their second son, Rafe, is engaged to a wonderful woman, Cate, so wedding plans are on the horizon; the happy couple seems to be resisting setting an exact date, and Bob comments that "for once he is old enough to understand that." Bob always hears from John True at Christmas; john and his fanlliy are doing fabulously well in California, though his family has spread to points as far as Boston. He expects a grandson and new son-in-law and is on top of the world! Do not tell us that the former Medusa is caught up

in that sweet smelling northern California air! On a sadder note, Bob joined former president, Jim English, and many of the former students ofjan Cohn in honoring her memory and speaking in her honor at her memorial service last October. In a recent Hariford Cot1rant article on organizing one's life and making to-do lists, our own Randy Lee was quoted extensively. " I think it gives us a sense of accomplishment even when we haven't accomplished nearly as much as we tho ught," Lee said. "I know people who literally make to-do lists that include even some things they did yesterday so they can start off crossing things off, because then it looks like you've fmished half your list." Does the College pay him for these deep thoughts? Arnie Schwartzman keeps threatening to make it back to Hartford and buy Your Secretary lunch; but so far all I have received is an invitation to Vero Beach-which would not be bad in the winter. Apparently Arnie commutes for the weekends from Manhattan. Sounds like he is doing better than John True or Fred Sargent! Mase Ross is still working away for Northwestern Mutual-Rissel claims he and Mase are the only members of our Class still working full time. He will be joining the Scarletts for a fall trip to South Mrica, to which he is looking forward-except for the 24-hour flight. Speaking of flights, the Rosses came East for the wedding of Joe Moore's daughter in New Hampshire last summer; a great time was had by all, but he made a mistake in arriving early since he then had to help putting up the tent. Mase, why do you think you were invited! Mase had diimer with Bill and Judy Brachman in Milwaukee. Although Mase usually sees them in Prescott, he admitted to enjoying his dinner more in Milwaukee, minus the Brachmans' "virtual zoo of animals." His filet and right arm were safer. Speaking of the Brachmans: Judy and Bill are wallowing in the joys of parenting Brianne; they were visited over Thanksgiving by the godfather, Pam and Bob Dunn. With an assist from many of his Classmates, I am happy to report that Jim Belfiore's daughter, Annie, has been accepted into the Class of 2009 at Trinity this fall. This was quite an accomplishment for Annie, since she had to overcome the stigma of her godfather, Your Secretary. Not to mention the Sigma Nu stigma!

Frank Vincent has returned to counseling at an elementary school in Cranston RI, where he reports that a good principal can overcome diverse difficulties. While we are on the counseling subject, Rich and Kathy Risse] are heading to Hawaii where they hope to hook up with our own "Rooney of the Islands," John Alves, and his new bride. John may not be too secure in his status as Class "most married." It is sad to report that the mere ripple on the sea of domestic tranquility for the Tribkens has turned into a parting of the Red Sea.

The room resounded to Mike's favorite tune, the Mamas and the Papas "California Dreaming," while they played poker with Keith Pinter and Paul Regnier '71 and discussed the merits of Clint Eastwood in The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. John and his wife, Colleen, live in Sacramento where he works for Nationwide Insurance. They have a 27-year-old son, Matthew, who is an architecture student at Cal Poly. John's thoughts on Mike are that he will "miss him terribly and wishes that he had kept in touch with him more closely."

She is now able to spend more time with her son who is in middle school himself. Some of you may rememberTim,Jr. as a newborn in a back-pack at reunion. As a young teen, he is involved in a wide range of activities from scouting, math, robotics, and even performing music with his father. The elder Tim, a lawyer by day, still plays guitar, writes, performs, and records his music in Nashville. Don Viering is another retiree. Don and Lindsay moved their family from Concord, MA, to Ponte Vedra Beach, FL. Lindsay reports that Don has become a fisherman and is beaming every day. Now that I think of it, whenever I saw Don walking around the streets of Boston's Financial District, he looked like he was day dreaming about fishing. So, congratulations, Don. Meanwhile, his daughter, Schyller, is attending Trinity. Other classmates are still at work, including David McCloud who wri tes as follows: " Having returned to Washington during 2003 after four years in the USAID mission in Cairo, Egypt, I now am director of USAID's Office of Middle East Affairs. It is certainly interesting having a job whose daily routine often is represented in what you read on the front page of the newspaper in the morning. We are involved in supporting the creation of a Palestinian state and all that involves in terms of economic, social, and political development, in encouraging Middle East states to become more democratic and to have more open economies, and in trying to educate people in the Middle East about the value of the $1-billion plus of economic assistance we provide to the region (excluding Iraq-that is the responsibility of another office). During my downtime, along with my wife, Roberta Mahoney, who also works for USAID, I am trying to survive raising a teenage son.A year after moving to Falls Church, VA, to take advantage of the excellent city-run high school, we decided to transfer him to a Benedictine monk-run school in Washington, DC, Northeast, a 45-minute commute.

He sent me these letters: "Dec. 27, 2004: "I thought I wo uld send a mass e-mail to all just to say we are safe and sound here. Thank you all for your e-mails and tho ughts . Obviously it has been quite difficult, so instead of answering all your questions, individually, I thought I would give you a quick chronology of events. "Christmas Eve was celebrated at Lai T hai Resort with family, friends, and guests. A lamb roast and C hristmas choir singers made for a pleasant evening. At 10 p.m., the Encore Cafe staged a Beatlemaniacs Christmas rock 'n' roll show that was quite popular. We retired about 4:30 a.m. "A lot of groggy heads the next morning decided to cancel their boat and diving trips-a decision that would ultimately save their lives. Obviously, we were all unaware of the impending disaster. "At 10 a.m., I took a customer of Lai Thai to the beach on my motorbike to exchange money. As we approached the beach, he said. 'Wow look at those waves!' There are never any waves in Ao Nang Bay-in fact the usual day is a bay as flat as glass. At tllis time, the waves were two-three feet high. I said, 'That's strange; we never have waves here.' At that point, on the horizon we could see the whitecaps approaching, and when a sailing yacht overturned about one-half mile out we knew there was tro uble. I went to Encore Cafe, which, thankfull~, is on the second row of shops on the beachfront and evacuated the two staff cleaning the restaurant. By the time we locked the front door, the waves had breached the sea wall, and I drove the two on my motorbike on the sidewalks. The wave knocked motorbikes, people, and trees down. I took the staff about two nllles away and left them for their fanlllies to pick up. I couldn't return by the same way I came, so I took a circuitous route to get back to Lai T hai. Lai Thai is 800 meters from the beach, so it was safe there. I returned to the beach area to make sure Encore was still standing and locked. By then, the ftrSt set of waves had passed and the entire beach road was flooded with big trees, driftwood, pieces of boats, and even huge boulders and concrete blocks blocking the way in a foot of mud. I made sure Encore was locked and was happy to see there was no damage-just mud up to the door. Then I heard a lot of yelling and saw a nllle or so out at sea the second set of waves approaching. Everyone realized the seriousness of the situation and ran like hell. "The unfortunate stories of death and destruction are too numerous

and grim to recount here. But one must look to the positives, and one thing is for sure: The Ao Nang sea wall saved many lives and damage. T his sea wall was built three years ago and at that time was criticized for its poor design and construction. But there is no doubt in anyone's nlind that the sea wall was our savior. The next beach to Ao Nang, Hat Napporatara Beach, doesn't have a sea wall in place; in fact the foundations for a new wall were just being put in place. That beach and its buildings were severely damaged, with long-tail boats and concrete pilings from the sea wall being flung across the beach road like toys. "After the initial adrenaline rush fulished-about 24 hours laterwe now faced the task of cleaning up and taking care of the injured and homeless. Since Ao Nang is the administrative head of Phi Phi Island, it is responsible for all of its affairs. Phi Phi, by all accounts, was destroyed, cut in half by the tidal wave. The death toll, if ever known, is terrifying. The survivors and corpses are being brought onto Ao Nang Beach to be taken to the hospital, with the evacuation of the latter at night to be more discreet. All the schools are closed to house the homeless, and we are all involved in providing food, clothing, and blood to the local hospitals. There are several international relief funds in operation, and we are involved in the local relief funds for Krabi Hospital. Since many hospitals in the Phuket and Phi Phi area have been closed, there is an added burden on the local hospitals here. If anyone would like to make a donation to the hospitals in Krabi, I can arrange it. We want to thank you all for your thoughts and support. "Update: Jan. 1, 2005 : "Happy New Year, and thanks to all of you for your support. "Yesterday, I met with the mayor of Krabi for three hours, and we discussed the formation of a foundation, 'Foundation for Krabi relief.' The plans are to start the paperwork on Tuesday, fornling a company where I will be director along with the nephew of the mayor who is a Krabi Municipal Council member. "We toured beaches in my area; I live on Ao Nang Beach. Recovery missions are underway, with a crane and 100 or so college students volunteering to remove sunken long-tail boats from the bay. The mayor pointed out that 394 out of 400 registered long-tail boats were lost on the morning of Dec. 26, along with most of their drivers. As a result,

a large number of Krabi families have lost their principal wage earner, along with their main asset, the boat. The impact on the community can not be overestimated. A long-tail boat costs 2,500, well beyond the means of these lower-income people. "While this recovery work was underway, many of my friends and other Western residents were working hard at the grisly task of helping families locate th eir lost kin. Volunteers of many nationalities-French, German, Dutch, etc.-wore shirts with their country's name on them to help families locate the volunteers of their homeland at the morgue. The Chinese temple in Krabi town was set up as a temporary morgue, and, currently, there are some 800 unidentified corpses there. In nearby Khao Lak, there are over 5,000 dead, waiting to be identified. It has now been six days sin ce the wave hit, and the bodies are now all bloated and rotting, so identification is nearly impossible except by clothing remnants or dental records. The process of touring the scene, helping family members search though the bodies, is heartbreaking, and the smell is enough to nauseate you one-quarter mile away. "These volunteers generally work one day on, one day off. A day is needed in between to recover from the psychological traum.a of working under such shocking conditions, with the number of deaths reported by the media woefully understated from the start. There are 3,500 missing Swedish tourists in Thailand alone. There are an estimated 2,000-4,000 dead in Phi Phi Island and 5,000-10,000 in Khao Lak. Many rescue workers estimate the death toll in Thailand to be in the neighborhood of 10,000-15,000 and 250,000 worldwide. "Most tourist-related businesses that have not been destroyed will be closing soon for lack ofbusiness.This will add insult to injury to the many locals who will lose their jobs. It is likely thousands and thousands will be unemployed . "The foundation we are creating will have several goals--some with more time constraints than others: Attending to the unidentified corpses (of ell:treme importance as the possibility of outbreaks of epidemics increases every day); providing Krabi Hospital the resources it needs to attend to the sick and injured; providing counseling for those severely impacted by this traumatic experience; providing resources to rebuild the local boating industry from which a large number of locals derive their livelihood; repairing infrastructure capabilities, clean water, sanitation, and electrical and transportation facilities; and providing clothing and temporary shelter for those in need. "Residents surviving the disaster are finding it more and more difficult to bear the pressures and burdens upon them. Surrounded by death and destruction and faced with financial ruin, many are struggling to continue. Life is lived day by day-each day contains many horrors compressed into a short time frame. But support from people like yourselves is the key to make us push on-to get through the next day's tragedies. "We hope that one day things will look brighter, but it's hard to see that future right now. But we must press on in the name of the deceased and the loved ones they left behind. Thank you again for your support." For more information abo ut the foundation with which Gus is associated or any other information, you can contact him at: www.laithai-resort.com. Gus can e-mail you donation forms and whatever else you might need. The resort is garnering great reviews in tourist guides.

officer and portfolio manager haven't changed. On the personal side, life is good living in Greenwich, CT, and my wife, Brooks, and I are enjoying all the challenges of raising a family of three (Tommy, 16, Caroline, 13 and Madeline, 11). Regarding Trinity, I have enjoyed serving on the College's Board of Fellows, which ke eps me somewhat involved in our great school with meetings in the spring and fall." Tom also looks forward to seeing ali who attend this year's big 25th Reunion . Peter Hay Halpert moved his New York operations from the Upper East Side to Chelsea, to be closer to the other art galleries. His artists include George Duncan, whose recent portrait assignments included a New York Ti111es Magaz i11e cover story, and R yan M cGinley, who followed up a solo show at the Whitney with an exhibition at PS1MoMA in New York. McGinley has also been nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for his New York Tim es Magazi11e cover story on Michael Phelps and the American Olympic swimmers. Peter has been busy, curating "Insistent Imposition: Fashion Photography NOW" at th e Visual Arts Gallery, teaching at the School ofVisual Arts, curating a m;Uor photography retrospective for a U.S. museum, assembling an American Photo magazine issue on the top 100 people in photography, and helping with a photography auction to benefit tsun ami relief efforts. H e is also preparing an exhibition, "John Arsenault: On the Road of Life," for New York in conjunction with a major affinity campaign created for Volkswagen. Peter also writes that he has been back and forth to his place in Colorado, where he recently caught up with Madeline Batistich Mocan after her return from six months in Turkey. H e continues to play squash; he made the finals of the Will Dubin at the Cynwyd Club in Philadelphia , lost early in the Merion Mixed Doubles Tournament, and was gearing up for the National Championships when he wrote. He also stili coaches ice hockey and notes that he agonized over the Eagles' Super Bowl loss. Last, he reports that Hugh Anderson '93 , part of his extended family, just got engaged, and says, "'Bout time'" Scott Friedman visits Trinity regularly as his daughter is a freshman at Miss Porter's School in nearby Farmington . H e writes that he has been married to Lisa for 20 years, and they have four daughters, Samantha, Eliza , Julia, and Madeline. "Sam, our oldest, started college earlier tllis year. Wow! Hard to believe! I am a business lawyer and partner in a small venture capital company focused on medical devices . I also do a little business consulting and executive coaching and have recently completed a book on happiness with three co-authors, a businessman, a brain surgeon, and a philosopher. I hope to be able to attend the upcoming Reunion and see everyone!" William Bullard and his wife, Diana, have been living in Baltimore for over 10 yea rs. "We have Billy, 13, and Katy, 12, who are enjoying school and their other activities. Diana is a part-time litigation consultant who is able to stay home a lot with the kids. I've been in wireless communications since I got out of U.C.L.A .Business School in '89, and currently work at TESS CO, a public company where I've primarily developed and marketed our Internet business. I continue to enjoy coaching my kids in sports and playing a few myself.While we still miss New England (especially after the Sox and Pats this past year!), we like Baltimore a lot. I stay in touch with John O'Brien, Bob Shaw, and Jeff Cooley/lise Halpern, and they are all doing well." I also heard from Liz McGill Garmise, who continues to live with her husband, Stu, their rwo boys, and a new dog in Marlborough, CT. Liz recently left Stanley Works for a new position with Gerber Scientific. I look forward to seeing you at our 25th. Mark yo ur calendars for Reunion Weekend , which is June 9-12, 2005.

Just to let you know, though, that I am busy teaching and living in the Boston area with my husband and five children. During the summer, I serve as the assistant director of the Songadeewin Camp for girls near Middlebury, VT. All is well." Maculey B. Nash sends news, "Now in Atlanta area as Cathy is sr. vice president of Sun Trust in charge of branches." Macauley is operations manager with Carma_x. From Dutch Barhydt: " In 1998, I started a scholarship fund at The Connecticut C01rununity Foundation , called The Wilderness Skills Fund, to provide scholarships for high school and college age students to attend Ourward Bound or Student Conservation Association wilderness programs. Since then , we have provided 16 scholarships for programs that have lasted an)"vhere from eight days to four weeks. This yea r, we will award scholarships to rwo more Connecticut students. At our Spring Community gathering, Trinity's Head Field Hockey Coach Anne Parmenter will speak about the Mt. Everest expedition that she was part of last year." It's always good to hear fiÂˇom Alex Magoun with e-mailed announcements from The David Sarnoff Library. Check it out at www.davidsarnoff.org. From Sarah Carter Clunan : "I've never really put anything into the Class Notes before ... I continue to work as an administrative judge in Providence, Rl. The kids, Carter and Alexandra are in the 11th and ninth grades, respectively. We will be coming to 'check out' Trinity with Carter this spring. I still am playing a lot of tennis and have tried a ladies' ice hockey team this winter, but in the last year or so I have become totally addicted to golf." From Jim "Jaime" Shapiro : "Greetings from Cuba! I'm in the middle of my second humanitarian nlission here within a year, and it's going switruningly. Everyone on the tnission agrees with me that the Cuban people are wonderful and deserving of our support. It's a shame our respective governments can't seem to see eye-to-eye. Things are a little tri ckier here this year than last year. For one, we can't use Ameri can dollars anymore. We have to use something called 'convertible pesos,' and Castro takes a 10 percent cut of all the American dollars we exchange for them. Also, in keeping with perhaps an international trend, smoking (including cigar smoking) has been banned in most public places. Somehow it doesn't seem like Cuba without its ubiquitous cigar smoking." From Dede Seeber Boyd : "We are all settling in to Madison (CT). We finally purchased a wonderful old house from the '30s that we are currently in the process of renovating and adding on to. It's in a great location, near the water, with a beach at the end of the street. God and weather willing, we will be ftnished in mid-April, in time to enjoy the summer! It's been a very LONG winter! I'm also in the process of starting up a new business with a friend , working with realtors to 'stage' th eir house listings to get them ready for sale. It's a very niche market that is largely untapped in the hinterlands of Connecticut, so we are hoping for a successful first year! Needless to say, it's been a crazy time with everything that is being juggled right now. That's all from here."

R evisited lunch with Natalie Anderson , and this time got to see Pam Wilton . Pam, her husband , and fi ve-year-old son, Alex, recently moved back to Manhattan after years of living in London.

But, truth be told , th ere has been very little news of our Class coming from Trin , so I used that most recent 2004 Alumni Directory and went throu gh alphabeti cally and in small groups gave every '83 e-mail address I could find a sup er last-minute deadline fo r news. D espite some of th e snippy responses, I have found that really short turnaround gets much swifter and more responses th an w hen people are given a long time to respond. H eck, perhaps we are all too busy, modest, or a combo of th e two to write, but here's what I have heard (we actually are a pretty am azing C lass), read on: Wendy Gorlin Tayer writes to say she has reconnected w ith Am Clymer Maron now th at she has moved to San Diego (w hy did I leave, I'm thinking, in snowy Ohio, presentl y). Also, Wendy spent time with Jane Klapper Sykes in the Bay area over C hristmas break, as she has relocated th ere from London recentl y (welcome back to the USA, Jane) . Wendy is still enj oying living in SoCal- just go t back from ski ing in Lake Ta hoe for a few days w / husband, M arc, and th e kids. Life is busy and never a dull moment for th em , and I can attest to that, having visited th em. for th e umpteenth time last September! Glenn Ratcliffe writes that life in Southport, CT, for him, his wi fe, Susan, and th eir two boys and th eir new cocker-poo, C hester, is great! He says he does see a co uple o f alums aro und tow n, occasionall y, including Dan Leavy and Todd Clark and his fa mily. Glenn also writes hello to all his classmates and to " be well."

Kevin O'Callaghan sent such impressive news that I fear I caimot do j usti ce to it all here. Wish I co uld put in th e photos he e-mailed me. Trying to be succinct yet th orou gh, here's Kevin's latest: H e owns Unive rsal Builders Supply Inc.

Please send that same info to th e R eporter's editors) . Dave Mech wrote in , and it so un ds as if he has been quite busy and obviously successfi.d producing a children's TV show, th e awardwinning Farmer Rick Show. It is on in Manhattan every second M onday on th e M anhattan Youth C hannel, chann el 34, and is also aired in most of Connecti cut. Also, D ave's record label, Rudy R ecords, has two R eggae artists on th e Latin charts and an alternative rock band, The Lifted, w hich is breakin g out on th e nati onal scene! Very impressive, Dave! I believe some up coming correct rim es for th e Farmer Ri ck show are: Saturdays, fro m 11 :30-noon on 4/ 16, 5/ 21, 6/ 18 on the Manhattan Youth C han nel, channel 34. Please bring some tapes to th e next reunion D ave--!, for one, would like to see th e show. Robert Markstein wrote in to say he moved recently from N ewton to N eedham , MA, with his wife, M onica, and their three kids: Annie (eight), M elissa (fi ve), and Eric (two) . H e srill wo rks in practice management consulting, primarily w ith surgeons assisting in the management of th eir prac ti ces. Jim Maffiolini says he th ought he spotted Elizabeth Axelrod at a N ew Britain R.ock Cats Game in 2003 . (Sorry, Jim sent this to me before and apparently it never made it to th e press.) Also, Jim related he spotted an article in the September 2003 issue of H ouse Bea11tif11l Magazine about Schuyler Samperton , w ho is an interi or designer with her own firm in L.A. Jim also commented, " Ni ce Web site, Schu yler," and wants to kn ow if alu mni get a discount. In the past yea r, Jim says he hasn't seen as nu ny classmates as usual. U nfortunately, he did see Susan Miller Phiansunthon w hen her fa ther died last year (o ur deepest condolences, Susa n); he also saw Pani Phiansunth on Potrepka. Rick Barone , Jim tells, is a busy guy wi th a number of ve ntures in th e wo rks-maybe he can be pers uaded to give us anoth er update for th e next issue Qim's prompt, R_i ck). Jim saw R ick recently at a party for Vladimir Dimanshteyn's '84 son last month , and apparentl y he srill has th e same fl air as always. As for Ji m himself, his fo ur ki ds are in fo ur different schools: nursery, elem entary, middle, and high school this year (I'm getting dizzy, Jim), so th ey are always going to some concert, recital, or ga me. This past fall was Ji m's seventh season of coaching youth soccer, and his fo urth fo r assistTR I N I TY REPO RTE R

ing with youth basketball. AND, he might go back to assistant coaching Little League this yea r, even if it means having to hawk twice as many raffl e tickets at work! H e ends wi th the fact that his work is hectic but notes he is traveling less fre quently, w hich is good for the home life. Finally, he HOPES MORE PEOPLE CAN BE PERSUADED TO WRITE IN FOR THE NEXT ISSUE! (I say, ditto, Jim. ) Jim Frankel caught me in a date faux pas w hen l was urge ntly calling for Class N otes but wrote in anyway in case it was a typo (really glad you did, Jim). H e related that he marri ed (congratulations!) Cynthia Rivera in N ovember of '03, and, on O ct. 8, 2004, they had a son , Preston Elliot Frankel-kudos again, Jim! Preston weighed in at fi ve pounds, four ounces, but at fi ve mo nths, he's quite a bit bigger (taking after his tall, thin mother, Jim added). Jim's in advertising, at Grey H eaJthcare Advertising in N.Y. C., and he returned to the ad business afi:er a long hiatus writing screenplays. H e said that they generated some interest, but no checks, and hence, his return to advertising. (I hear you, Jim- ! am attempting my first screenplay with a high school fri end, and it's daunting.) He concluded that those seeking more info on him may certainly call , write, e-mail, etc. Eric Fisher w rites that not a w hole lot is new in Zurich, but they have had an extremely cold winter. H e's been with C redit Suisse Group for the past seven years now, most recently in cost controlling for the IT division. His job and career are going well, and his marri age obviously is, too, as he and his wife will celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary at the end of April (congrats to both of you!). Eric's daughter, Isabelle, will turn 14 at the beginning of April and will finish her second year at the extended gymnasium in classical studies in Zurich in July. N ext year, she begins the four-year studi es towards the Matura, where she'll maj or in classical languages with a minor in English. Eric says he gets back to the United States every couple of years, som etimes to Connecticut, and sometimes to C alifornia, w here his brother lives. Anne Collins cau ght me up on several Trin classmates. She related that Michael Topp has recently published his second book, which she strongly believes should become core curriculum for the American studies seminar (take note, American studies fac ulty and affi cionados, and congrats, Mike) . The book is on the infamous Sacco and Vanzetti case and is an excellent read, and that's no mean praise from Annie Collins. (H ey, Mike, can you send me a copy, or if I buy it, will you sign it?) Apparently, Michael gave a lecture on his book, and there was a little Trinity reunion hosted by Otie Brown Filkorn for it at the histori c Socialist Labor H all in Barre, VT, in D ecember. In attendance at the event were Sue Clifford and her husband and Eric Truran '81. Otie and her fabulous (Annie's description, Otie, as I have n't met him) husband, Erik, live in Vermont and had a beautiful little girl, Louise, last year. She is toddling around like a champ. Among other Vermont Trinity aJums, Annie ra n into Jyoti Daniere w hen she was down in Boston, and she is well . Jyo ti and her husband , Pete, have two daughters. Dave Warren lives up in Bangor, ME, and is about to make a big j ob change, w hich soun ds exciting (do write and tell , Dave). Anne saw Sarah Koeppel Cohn in Florida over the holidays. They had lunch with Sarah's mom, Ruth , and they hit some golf balls with her husband, Bob, and their daughter, Emily, who, Anne reports, looks like she'll be continuing the fa mily tradition of low scores. And, last but not least, Anne left only o ne sentence fo r herself, she is still in Boston running a state agency (you are too nonchaJant,Anne) that does consumer protection work, and all is well!

Ron also wa nted us to know that his father, w ho retired from the construction industry three years ago, is now out of retirement and living a Lifelong dream as a high school basketball coach at the family's aJma mater, Pilgrim High School in Rh ode Island, at age 7Q--wonderful, R on! Caroline Barkham w rites from the U.K. that she is busy with her children and th eir schooling and that a son is going off to boarding in September so it will be much quieter in the house! H er honey, R on, has started a publishing company, a j ournaJ for the hedge fund industry. They may be moving later in the year. She concluded by asking me if ! still played ru gby, as she had just spent the mornin g freezing and watching her son, Jamie, playing--s he says he needs to put on the pounds to be abl e to give as much as he gets! All right, that's all for now, folks, and because of my late request for news, any dangling news I receive after the deadline, I will type up now and send in fo r the next issue of the Reporter following this one. I am still public defending, playing ru gby, and trying to remember why I left sunny California for Ohio, now almost 10 years ago. I really relish reading about your lives; every piece of news I have received I have found interesting, some ri veting. Please write, e-mail, call, w hatever the spirit moves you to do. I know it's probably not a frequent destination, but if you 're ever laid over in, or passing through, Cleveland, call me -it's actually a great town-it's just the weather. ....peace, and out, Tin 3-1-05. H ere 's late-breaking news submitted by Tina: In March 2005, Donna Hunnicutt writes that she is still in southern California after 22 years! She is located in "the OC," Laguna Niguel area and about to move into a new home. She has been in residential real estate for six years, but her passion is her Feng Shui consulting business, w hich she started three yea rs ago, and she is absolutely loving it (hey, D onna, do we get discounted consults on the Feng Shui-I think I need one). Donna recounts that she met up with Isabel Lerman Mahalick '81 in August at Esperanza, in C abo San Lucas, Mexico. Actually, D onna says she has been meeting Isabel, her husband, and their two darling daughters almost annually for various Mexican getaways. D onna has also been running (four marathons in the past few yearsgreat, D onna), and is busy with home projects and two businesses. She wo uld love to hear from members of our C lass, especially Julie, Anne, D onna, and Paula (you know what your last names are) and anyone else if in southern California, give a call! Also, Dominic Rapini wro te in that he and his wife, Susan, are keeping busy in H amden, C T, raising their three kids: Katlyn, Thomas, and Annie. D ominic has been coaching youth football for 19 years now! He has been going to Superbowls and much more. A great deal ofD om's time, he says, is wrapped up in his j ob at Apple Computer, Inc. His task is to find cool new places to sell the iPod at retail, which is both a great deal of work and a lot of fun. Working for Apple, he claims, is a fa r cry from the late nights he spent hammering on a PDP 11 in the Hallden Computer Lab in 19821 He does admit, however, that he still misses his Trinity days and hopes everyo ne is doing well!

And from Mike Isko : "Great to hear from you! I went skiing for the first time in 25 years this past weekend! That would be the yea r I gradu ated high school; that

would be when my dad stopped paying for my ski tickets! No broken bones or strained ligaments. Vitamin l (ibuprofen) solved any problems. The kids are great. My 11- year-old son is entering the Trinity College Firefighting Robot Contest. In April, he will hit the hardwood at the sparkling Ferris Athletic Center (there was quite a renovation) to send his robot into a home (maze) to extinguish a roaring fire (candle). My daughter inherited my love of greasepaint (wearing it, not sniffing it) and was a featured dancer in her ballet school's production of TI1e Sllow Queen. "Of course, l must mention my lovely wife, now an assistant clinical professor at UConn Health Center, and practicing physician. Of course, she is responsible for all my children 's success and bravely bears the burden of being married to me. l am still defending the tired, poor, huddled masses, yearning to breathe free! If only they didn't confess! I am teaching at conferences and seminars-my favorite presentation is 'Pre-trial Motions, Winning isn't Everything.' Anne Mahoney '84 is a prosecutor and worthy adversary at the Hartford Judicial District Courthouse. She is doing an excellent job protecting society, despite my best efforts." The Dec. 26, 2004 edition of the New York Times contains an article entitled "Is There Life After Blackjack? Ask MGM" describing the career of James Murren . Louise Bond Heck wrote in to say that the friendships forged at Trin.ity have remained strong. Louise (who now uses her psych-andtheater combined major as a clinical social worker at the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltin1ore, MD, a hospital specializing in treatment of disabled children), her husband, Robert Heck (the actor who hosts the kids show, Bob the Vid Tech, on Maryland Public Television), and her two boys, ages seven and five, have maintained a tradition of going to New York City over the Christmas holidays. It gives the boys a chance to spend time with their godmother, Patty Paddock (content manager for Girl Scouts of the USA's two girl-focused Web sites), while experiencing their dad's N.Y. C. roots. Other trips include annual visits to Patty's family's cottage in the Finger Lakes and baseball games at Shea and Yankee stadiums. And both Louise and Patty have been in steady touch with Bliss '84-an L.A. Music Award-winning writer out in Los Angeles-who recently produced and hosted a very successful tribute to Kris Kristofferson in her "spare time" that promises to become an annual event. Louise also has been in touch with Alexandra Zolan Campbell, who resides in Connecticut with her husband, Charle , their seven-year-old daughter and rwin three-year-old boys. They're all good friends with Mike lsko '84, who continues to fight the good fight as public defender for the State of Connecticut, while raising two kids with wife, Roberta, a doctor. Through Bliss, they also keep up with Andrew Campbell '86 , who practices law in Nashville, TN, where he lives with his wife, Mary, and their two children . When Bliss saw him in September, he was enmusiastically touting the virtues of homebrewed beer. Unexpectedly, Louise also ran into another Trinity alum, Peter Bain '81 , at the Living Classrooms Foundation's fundraiser last fall organized by her brother, james Bond.

Laura Darby McNally, who works at Middlesex Academy in Concord, MA, writes:''I've been elected the NationalAthleticTrainersAssociation District One (NE) Representative for me Secondary School Athletic Trainers Council . I'm coaching again this spring and very psyched about it. Other than that, I'm working full time as the athletic trainer and teaching wood carving, a senior requirement to graduate, and raising my three little ones!" From Tom DaSilva: "It was great to read about our 20th Reunion in the Trinity Reporter. Great job, Sal. I regret I couldn't make it. But I have a good excuse. I am living in Oakland CA, right now, working as a doctor with Kaiser Permanente. My wife and I returned from China in June. The purpose of our trip was to adopt our 13-month-old daughter, Maya. She has been a wonderful addition to our family (our first). She is thriving and loving her new home." Tom sent a photo, too--she's gorgeous! Jane Melvin Mattoon writes: "We're well. I've landed back in Chicago (celebrating the first full year in over a decade wim only one residence) and am mostly breathless, living the juggling act that is this Life. Like most, am concerned about our world and wishing for ways to make it better, still vvith the belief that hope lies in our generation, and within each of us. Our son, Charlie, will be three in January, and he is an absolute joy. My time is split between him and my business-busier than I ever imagined with my innovation and strategy consultancy. I've had the opportunity to work with companies big and small, start-ups and venerable institutions in need of big ideas. It's fun-lots of travel if I want it, but l make the rules (of which there are very few), and I feel lucky to have reached the point where it works for everybody. Received the new Trinity directory in the mail a month ago and imagine my surprise at discovering Mary O'Brien Ferrara is my neighbor-just a rn.ile away. What a nice surprise--so glad to get reacquainted with her and meet her beautiful daughter, Christina . Sad to have nlissed the Reunion but tell Bryan Chegwidden we'll see him at the 25th." Lorraine Saunders White writes: "My Little girl is now 3 1/2 and my boys are almost 9 months; how time fli.es and I am not sure how l got 3 wonderful children! I am back to work full time and doing mostly juggling and multi-tasking! l had the chance to see Dale Sindell from Spain, Katie VanWagenen Sperry and Nancy Katz Aresu the other night for a NYC dinner. Dale was visiting from Madrid and we got together for a great catch up." Lorraine gets together with Ashley Drouet Silverman '85 almost every week for breakfast on her work-at-home day- sometimes Julie Breene Ziebold '85 joins them too. Hope you have survived the winter in fine form and that you'll drop me a note before that August deadline!

"obsessing over my kids' education,just like every other parent I know." She invites people to visit her and take in the Niagara Falls. By the time of tlus publication hockey will have wound down for Steve Palmer and lacrosse season will be up and running for his boys. The ice and snow will have melted so that he can gets his boats on the Connecticut River and, hopefully, the striped bass will be biting. He suggest that after eight years of coaching hockey, he may take time to enjoy watch from the stands next year- we will see about that. Edie Silver Walker kindly responded to my plea for information with this great update ... "My husband and I explored the Amazon and Brazil over the holidays. We flew to a Colombian border town and found a captain/ boat/ guide/ cook, bought provisions, and ventured up the remote Rio Javari along the Peruvian border. It was fascinating to follow Portuguese, Spa11ish, and the dialect blending the two in this "Tres Fronteras" region of the Amazon Basin. The scenery and wildlife of high water season were spectacular. We swam with pink dolphins, got chased by a feisty rattlesnake, slept in hammocks in the jungle afi:er night hikes, and were amazed at the stories and keen tracking skills of our guide, Diego (my husband reckons he was a former hunter). We then flew to Salvador, the origin of Samba, for a highly festive New Year's Eve and onward to the beaches in Bahia to soothe our assortment of insect bites and to surf. We ended in glorious Rio de Janeiro, basking in the Copacabana and Ipanema, enjoying the churrascarias, touring the Atlantic rainforest surrounding Corcovado and leanung about the omnipresent favelas (slums), and experiencing a sensational hang-glide over the city. Especially these days, it's so enriching to become familiar with varied cultures, particularly that of the simple life on a jungle river. Chris Dickenson and Donna Haghighat report that life in London is going well. The kids, Maddy and Will, are attending a British school in Oxshott, Surrey. Donna is enjoying not being gainfully employed for the first time since she was 14 and is volunteering for the American Women of Surrey and is also trying to resurrect the Trinity Club of London with alums Alex Moorrees '78 and Bill Bannon '97 .

REUNION 2005

Hello, Classmates! Are you packing your bags for Reunion' Based on my calculations, by the time you are reading this, it should be right around the corner. Over the years, I have probably been in contact with more alums than any one else reading this column . I can assure you that everyone has matured into a group of interesting, witty, and thoughtful people. Go to Reunion to see your old friends and I bet you 'll make some new ones, too. Here is an update from our fearless leader, Greg Johnson . "Homecoming was a blast and the whole family was there (Laurie, Lindsay, and Lauren), including my mom and dad (Bob '60) and brother (Chris '92 , who is engaged to be married on Sept. 10). The Johnson/Murphy/Cavanaugh tailgate drew a good crowd . The weather was incredible, and the football score was even better. This was my 15th Homeconung since graduation and my 30th, lifetime. (I've been going since I was a kid). I fmally got Laura and both kids (Lindsay, 78

six, and Lauren, three) to go tlli.s year. It was good seeing Paul Brian, John Greenspan, Bill Macartney (with wife and child) , Ralph Williams, Steve Coyle, Ji m Dormer (father of two,) and AJ Kohlhepp tailgating and having a great time. Jim Murphy, Mike Petrucelli , and I represented our Class at the Reunion planning meeting that weekend. Much discussion centered on trying to contact classmates to get the word out about Remuon Qune 9-12).We would love to get our Class participation rate for annual giving up over 60 percent. Some Trinity 15-year Reunion records are: giving- 71,319 (Class of 1980); attendees-83 (Class of 1985). Breaking just one of these records would be a great feat. Don't be surprised if you hear from one of us asking for some help making some phone calls to rally the troops for Reunion. It is a great way to re-connect with old friends and share what you have been doing over the last 15 years. I am hoping to get the band back together at Reunion (Ryz, Stathos, Schrader, Murph, Kel, MB, Liz Whalen, Liz White, Em , and Matt). As I write this, I am thinking of a guy who was a significant part of my Tri11ity experience, Tim Kelly . He passed away in 1989 from a rare bone cancer. A scholarship was endowed in his name soon after, but the momentum has lagged. I ask that if or when you choose to give to Tri11ity, you designate your gift to the 'Timothy J. Kelly Scholarship Fund' (if possible, tack on the corporate match). The additional funds contributed into this scholarship fund will assist in keeping his memory alive. For those of you who did not have the opportmuty to know Tim, he was the most selfless person I ever knew. I could regale everyone with stories ofTim's 'acts of kindness,' but it would not do him justice. I know it is a cliche, but to know him was to love him. He had the innate ability to make everyone around him forget that he was saddled to a damn crutch. To TK, his friends came first, he came second. That's the way he was. I am really hoping our Class can step up and contribute to tlli.s worthy cause. TK was someone we do not want to forget about! "Kelly Lynch's wedding was a blast. Matt Welton was there as well. Alaska is a truly incredible experience, and Laura and I really want to go back there to hike and visit the Lynch clan again. I was fortunate to be promoted to chief compliance officer for ACE USA's Program Services division in November. Once I get my audit team in place, my travel will significantly decrease. Until then, I'm getting crushed." From here, it makes sense to give you an update on someone else Greg can't wait to see: my old mailbox buddy, Liz White Mehl. She writes, " It's been a while. We moved from San Francisco to Maine abo ut four years ago. Portland has been a great place for us. Jack is now five and a happy kindergartner, and Sumner is just beginning preschool at age three. She's the boss of the fanllly. My husband works with UnumProvident, and I continue in an adnunistrative role at our local elementary school and have added teaching fifth graders two days a week! It's been a busy and challenging year! I know Angie Han is nearing the end of her OB/ GYN residency and has two small children. Joia Scully just gave birth to son number three. I'm hoping to see her over the holidays." Lee Ryzewi c and his fanllly (wife, Michelle, and three children) moved from New Hampslure to Fredericksburg, VA, this summer. Mollie Verbeck Spilman sent me an update. She writes," After spending most of my post-college days in New York City, I am now living in Baltimore, MD, with my husband, John, and two children , Billy (three and one-half) and Ryan (two). I work for an Internet advertising company down on the harbor in Baltimore City that was just acquired by AOL. .. and love every n"linute of it. It's hard to juggle being a mother, wife, and boss ... but somehow it all gets done." Jeff Barry is working at OPIC (Overseas Private Invesm1ent Corporation), which is a government agency that helps U.S. businesses

invest overseas. Rebecca Schwerdt Earlewine wrote, "Brent and I are expecting our second baby in August. This time, a girl! We're excited to have two so close together! Hayden is nine months now and a happy healthy little guy. We also just bought a neat old historic house in Sewickley, PA-a neighborhood of Pittsburgh-that we're also very excited about. While we had a lot of fun renovating another house in Pittsburgh, l think we'll rely on contractors this time, seeing as we'll have a toddler and another on the way! Since I've entered 'Mommyhood,' I've put my career on the back burner. For most of the past decade, I did crazy, but fun, hightechnology sales, mostly for 3Com, and was fortunate to be given a lot of great opportunities. I also got my M.B.A. from Babson College along the way, which was very rewarding. Now diapers and working on 'ma-ma' are my rewards!" Jen Osborne Prescott is expecting boy number two on July 30. The Prescotts have had it with the cramped apartment living and are heading out to the 'burbs (New Rochelle) this spring. Also, on the baby front, Jen Tesoro Reese '91 is mother to three! She had a baby girl on Friday, Feb. 18, 2005 at 6:31 a.m. Lily Lennon Reese weighed six pounds and is very cute. Mom, dad, Aidan, and Eloise are all adjusting to their new family member! On Dec. 7, 2004, Shannon O'Connor Christian '89 gave birth to Reece William James Christian. Shannon and husband, Scott, and children, Claire and Dan, live in Denver. Elya Schwartzman writes, "My wife, Susan, and I are expecting our third boy any day now, so our lives are full oflove and excitement. Our other two are Nathan (five) and Jonah (two and one-halQ." David Wells and his wife are expecting a third baby at the end of March. Anne Stuart Moser writes that their family is expecting another member in April. She adds, "Our daughter, Evelyn (now nearly two), is the big-sister-in-training. I ultimately think she would be most pleased if! gave birth to a kitty kitty. The Mosers are enjoying Athens and the University of Georgia.We will plan to spend my maternity leave on the coast of Maine with family." Lots of other people are expecting babies. Superstition precludes me from mentioning some of them, but they'll be lots to tell in the next Reporter. Ann Stuart Moser and Heidi Wisbach visited Liz Macgonagle, who ~ust returned from Iceland where she was on a teaching Fulbright. She has a charming home in Kansas where she is on the faculty at University of Kansas. Courtney Jennings Bryan writes, "We are settling in here in Chanhassen, MN, after moving from Massachusetts this past summer. I am planning an East Coast trip this summer to see family and friends from South Carolina to Massachusetts." Class of 1988 members Megan and Tony Luciano responded to my e-mail news plea with an update. "We are still in Cincinnati (going on three and one-half years-hard to believe). Tony is still with P&G although getting ready to switch jobs. He will now be running the cat food business for the lams group. Chris and Matthew are great, enjoying school and busy with sports as most nine- and six-year-old boys are." Dorian Shaw Forshner writes, "Things here are busy with two kids 17months apart. In Greenwich, there seems to be no Trinity people from our Class, but I have been playing tennis with Tracy Killoren Chadwell '87 , which has been very nice." She also sees a lot of Cindy Woosnam Ketchum, Martha Willoughby, and Katie Tozer Roddy. For her thriving independent consulting business, Martha Willoughby

just returned from a business trip to Hawaii. She is preparing for the upcoming sailing season. Sharon Simkiss Merhige (recently back from a family trip to London) runs into several alums around Philadelphia. Lisa Connelly's '89 son, Nate, attends preschool with Sharon's son, Will. Jeff and Sanna Marshall Henderer have boys who go to school with Sharon's older son, Peter. E.G. Woods '89 is her neighbor. He and his wife have a little boy who is three. As I write this, John Simkiss '89 is scuba diving in Antarctica. Dave Copland checked in from Europe. He writes, "I have been living in Dresden, Germany, since late 2003 with my wife, Claudia, and now-almost-two daughter Sarah (with an "h"!). Our son, Daniel, was born here in Dresden on Jan. 21,2005. I'm still working as a trademark lawyer with Wildman Harrold." Someone checking in from the not-so-distant lands is Otis Bryant. I've heard through the grapevine (my parents, who are always on the lookout for news for the column) that Otis is teaching history at Taft. They tell me he is doing well, and he continues to be friendly, thoughtful, and interesting and is quite handsome. Mter my cybersleuth friend tracked down George Felcyn , I was able to contact hin1 for a first hand corroboration of the news you read in February. He writes, "Only one significant item that won't make it into print-I got married in March to Maria Magdalena Bendini, who goes by Maggie, and whom I met here in D.C. about four years ago. Maggie is a researcher in the Latin American poverty reduction and economic management section of the World Bank. Our wedding was in Buenos Aires, where Maggie's family lives. Kaitlin McDermott and her two boys have moved to Madison, CT. My tenure as Class Secretary is at an end. Thanks to all of you who contributed . It has been a lot of fun to share so much great news.

Kauff;Jennifer Moran Classmates! I have happy news-! married Bob Walsh (Princeton '92) on a sandbar in Kane' ohe Bay on Oahu on Jan. 7! In a nutshell, the rehearsal dinner and wedding were amazing. Everything worked out in the end-although I would not recommend relying on tides, weather, and Hawaiian vendors if you want a stress-free wedding week! There were two fronts that hit Hawaii the week we were there-one ended on the Wednesday before the wedding, and one started the Saturday night post wedding (I guess that is why we were warned that January is the rainy season!). We decided to hold the wedding on Friday, based on the forecast and tides-and we called it right. We got the best of the rainy season with clear skies, cool breezes, and wonderful light for pictures. As for the tide-we checked the tide charts constantly to make SURE the sandbar would be above water on Friday. It was a bit behind schedule, but everyone was occupied on the party boat we rented to take them TRINITY REPORTER

The Cassarinos work in Connecticut- Joe at St. Paul Travelers and Julie in a hedge fund. Craig Bramley and Kim Simmons and sister Grace (age fi ve) are pleased to announce the addition of Katherine Bramley-Silru110ns to their fa mily. Kate was born in M ay and is now a giggling, drooling, squirmy little baby. Craig still plays a lot of ultimate, and Kim is still working on fe minist ca uses. I was very happy to hear from three of my Pike brothers, Chris Oster, Bruce Orem, and Nick "Chainsaw" Maglio . C hris asks, " D oes getting old and fa t count as news?" I'm going to let our readers decide that one. Bruce and his wife, Tina, are living in the w ild west of Bozeman, MT, w here Bruce works for TransAria, Inc. Bruce w rites, ''I'm now the C FO of the telecom startup w here I've been for a w hile now. Skill1g, fishing, working, and playing with (my daughter) Isabel sums up what Tma and I have been up to. I was out in La Jolla not too lo ng ago and had dinner with Andy Firtel, his wife, R obyn, and daughter, fadyn. They're doing great. Andy's dental practice is growing and domg well." Nick Maglio writes, ''I'll try summari zmg th e last 13 years in a few sentences.

I still get together frequently with Steve Hooker, although now it's mostly at kids' birthday parti es."

South Africa has too mu ch wine and good food to keep the weight down." R on and his wife, Jakki, welcomed therr :laughter, Emma Alice Irwin, on N ov. 3, 2004 in Kingsbury M aternity Hospital , Cape Town, South Africa . Ron reports, " I am lecturing at the University of C ape Town and really enjoying it.

"University") days, because it was while I was taking some junior time abroad away from dear old Trinity that I met my someday wife-to-be Nicola ... Sometimes it seems as if so much time has passed since our graduation, but in London, which, admittedly, features more modern architecture and more appealing grocery stores than it did 14 years ago, change seems to come more grudgingly... and the memories come flooding back. Speaking of changes, I've now started sending out my Reporter reminders through the alumni office e-mail list, so in order to avoid being left out, please be sure that the alumni office has your most recent contact information-! believe that this can be updated on the Trinity College Web site. Now on with the news ... Andy Brick and his wife, Jennifer, have rwo boys, Ian and Hayden, who, as Andy notes, "are keeping us real busy these days." Mr. Brick is a certified fmancial planner with the eponymous Brick & Kyle Associates in Newtown , PA. Andy reports that Tom Socha '94 and his wife, Jennifer, "moved down to our development over the past year, so we have been getting together with them. Small world! We also have seen Sara (Titus) '94 and Piper Skelly quite a bit. We will miss them badly when they move back to Chicago in the summer." He also recently received an e-mail from Tom Reuter, and Tom is "still living the crazy bachelor life in Switzerland and doing lots of snowboarding, hiking, and traveling. He works for Nestle Corp. as a marketing executive and really enjoys it. He is hoping to come to the States in the fall." Meanwhile, Charlie Schewe and Andy are planning a road trip to Trinity sometime in April to "rekindle some undergrad memories. We are looking forward to going to a formal dinner at St. Anthony Hall and going to 'Thursday Night Club."' Following up on Andy's report, indeed, this June, Sara and Piper Skelly are departing Philadelphia for Chicago, where Piper has accepted an assistant professor of surgery position at University of Chicago Hospitals. Congratulations, Piper... a true surgical star! In sweet home Atlanta (what do I know-I'm from California) Susie (Dyson) and Milo Cogan '94 reported the joyful arrival of their second son, William Sheridan Cogan, on Feb. 4. Congratulations to them both! His brother, Finn, is almost rwo and "seems to be adjusting well to his new brother." Susie writes that "we are back to no sleep and lots of diaper changes!" and reports that Minna Kim Raffin is in the process of moving from New Jersey to Connecticut and will start working at the Schick Company. A bit further north, Stephen Mcintyre and his wife, Maribel, have a new son, Christian Manuel Mcintyre, born Oct. 12, 2004 (Congratulations!) , and, to acconunodate the growing family, they moved into a new house in Vienna, VA. Stephen remains with Primus Teleconununications (PRTL NASDAQ) where he is VP of wholesale and also runs the Primus Japan office (retail and wholesale operations). He reports that not far away, in Reston, VA, Mike Donovan and his wife, Emily, welcomed a second child, Joseph Dignam Donovan, on Dec 10. Quanti Davis is now serving as the dean of students at a private middle school in the metro D.C. area-our nation's capiral. " It's so SO good to be back home!" Quanti writes. " Unfortunately, I have not made as many Trinity contacts in the area as I would've liked to, because taking care of several hundred pre-pubescent teens is an exhausting job!" (We can only imagine.) Quanti hopes that "everyone in the Class of '93 is well in '05." Closer to our Gallows Hill home, Prescott Stewart and his wife, Michelle, had a baby girl in November of 2003 named Maggie. They left Hawaii this past sununer and relocated to Salisbury, CT (a close

second to Honolulu on the paradise scale, I am certain), where Prescott is working as the assistant headmaster for external relations at Salisbury School, his other alma mater. He notes that he would love to hear from classmates at pstewart1993@yahoo.com. Down the road (relatively, anyhow), Shauna Andreoli Collins recently left Unilever and is now working as a brand manager at Hasbro Games in East Longmeadow, MA, marketing fun, preschool-level games like Candy Land and Chutes and Ladders. She's moved back to the Hartford area and is living in Glastonbury with her husband, Steve, and twoyear-old son, Ryan. Way up north in the Beanpot, Ashlyn Hiley and her husband, Eliot, are expecting a baby boy-due on Ashlyn's birthday, June 4. "I can't in1agine taking care of a second one," she writes, "but I'm guessing/ hoping it just somehow works out." Her other exciting news is that Eliot is "finally coming to the end of this 10-year journey and will get a REAL job starting in August. He has joined a practice in Concord, NH, as their retina specialist, so we're moving up there in the beginrung ofJuly. We actually just found a house, a lovely Victorian ... So we're leaving the major cities where I have lived since graduation and moving to the capital of.. ... New Hampshire. It still feels a little strange, but I am getting used to the idea." At least Ashlyn's children will have the chance to Live Free! In January, Ashlyn generously organized a baby shower for the expecting Nicole (D'Avirro) Chiravuri . Ashlyn points out that "it was set to be a lovely reunion, but the weather did not cooperate when Boston received 30 inches of snow. Ann marie (Fini) Chastain gets the seriouseffort award with taking a flight that landed at noon and off again on one of the last flights out before the snow got really bad that night. Luckily, Britt (Stockton) Lee and Kim D'Amico are local, so they could make it, and Susan (Olsen) Rusconi could stay at her parents not too far away. But Lisa (Sequenzia) Percival, Lynn Wolff, and Cassie (Burns) Chapman all were unable to make it due to the weather. It would have been so nice to see everyone, but Mother Nature had other plans." Dan Scanlan ,Jamaica Plain Renaissance man , is enjoying his new job with one of the Fidelity Capital companies, though what was meant to be a part-time gig is turning out to be a full-time conmutment. During some rare leisure time, he joined sister, Kate '88, out in Park City, UT, for the Sundance Film Festival. "It was five days of 14 movies," Dan writes. "Pretty intense, but a lot of fun all the same." A few towns away, it has been a good year for Randy Watnick. He and Ius wife, Jing, had their first child in O ctober-a little girl-and named her Audrey Ye Warnick. Jing went into labor during game four of the World Series (of major importance in the land of the Red Sox!), and Audrey was born ilie nex1: day. The fanlliy recently moved into a new house in Newton, MA. Randy is an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School where his lab has grown to four members-now including his first graduate student. They study the molecular mecha1usms that regulate tumor progression from benign to metastatic in breast and prostate cancer. Keep up the good work, Randy! Jumping down South , but remai1ung in the academic world (though, adnuttedly, a somewhat different discipline!), Lesley Moore reports that in January, she welcomed a son, Thomas. She'll be graduating with an M.F.A. in theater with a focus on set and costume design and then plans to move back to the Northeast. Congratulations to Leslie on the degree and her son ... a boy with a name like that is clearly destined for greatness. By flapping our wings and heading out to shake our tail feathers in sunny Los Angeles, we'd discover that Rachel (Totman) Davis is having a

second baby. What exciting news! Or, to put it in Rachel's own words, "Yikes!" She is not due until August but is "desperately trying to get myself organized before then." Now catching a train for a leisurely journey back East (even birds get tired of flying sometimes), we arrive in the Big Apple to fmd that Lynn Wolff began a new position a few months back in program development for the events division at The Economist. She recently made another, though less dramatic move--across the street from where she'd been living for years. "Still enjoying that block in Yorkville!" Also in the area, Pam (O'Kane) Foster left C leary Gottlieb in the fall of 2003 to rejoin the Rockefeller Foundation as assistant corporate secretary. She is happily working four days a week, allowing her to spend long weekends with her daughter, Emma, who is two. Husband, Chris '92 , is "still working for IBM- he works from our home in Glen Ridge, NJ. The biggest news is that we're expecting our second child in May-another girl, or so they say!" This fall, Pam had a chance to catch up with Hedy (Klein) Ayers, who is "happily living in a beautiful new home in West Simsbury with her husband, Neil, and adorable son,Jack." So many Trinity folk around New York. David Riker continues to flourish in his new location and new role with Marsh, and his social calendar has been busy, to say the least. Though David was not able to make it Get-lagged from yet another exotic trip-this time,Japan), Nicola and I joined John Graziadei and Jennifer and Andrew Van Hook out for a fun eve11ing.All are well.John continues his noble labors and esoteric arguments on behalf of New York, representing the city in legal cases involving constitutional law. Andrew accepted an exciting new position with leading edge marketing company Digitas, and Jennifer has found a great role in the media world with the Tribune Company. I've also seen Jay Akasie recently, who, when not discharging his duties as president of the New York chapter of the alumni association, is working on the home stretch of his M.B.A. at Columbia. And, fmally, Nicola and I met Susan (Olsen) Rusconi and husband, John's, adorable one-andone-half-year-old son Louis, born on my birthday (though, admittedly, in a different year). We enjoyed a fim dinner at their beautiful new Upper West Side crib. (Get it? Baby? Crib? Fine. Just ignore me.) So that's about it for now... new houses, new babies, fmishing degrees, and starting anew... such is the stuff of life.. .and the Class of 1993. Here's hoping that you are all well. Looking fotward to hearing from you next time around.

forward to our 15th R eunion in 2010! You all really came through for me in the w inter '05 edition of the Class Notes! So, I'm sorry, but I don't have too much to repo rt. Could it be that I've run out of things to report after 10 years writing the Notes? Perhaps 1 was voted out as Class Secretary at the Reunion? Maybe my job is safe for another five years, and I'm feeling emboldened to slack off a bit, you might think. The truth is, I've been working feverishly on my disserta tion, and I've go t to get on a plane tomorrow morning to go on my last "spring break" as a student. Sigh ...I'll be sipping pina coladas and watching th e coconuts fall tomorrow on Vieques Island, Puerto Rico! Yes! Coin cidentally, Jane Rand Nedder will be there a week after I leave with her family. I recently met the newest addition to Jane and her husband , Mike's, family. Margaret Edwards ("Meg") is adorable, and older brother, Mac, is quite sweet with her. Jane, Mike, Margaret Figueroa Hern '86 , and husband, A.J Hern '86 , and I are all looking fof\vard to seeing U2 live this spring at the Fleet Center! I ran into Terence Healey, fellow Trinity rugby alum, and his younger brother out on the town in Boston in January. Some time after Chrisunas, I enjoyed a delicious meal and an impromptu wine tasting at the home of Tom Lazay and his wife, Liz. Tim Sullivan is vacationing in Ireland as I write. Bryan Satter was spotted emerging from his Salem, MA, home, which was blanketed with a record settin g 38 inches of snow! H opefi.1lly, he made it to Reunion.

I had a chance to catch up with Charlie Adams '95 and Katie (Reifenheiser) Adams '97 at the Trinity Club event, and a few days later we all gathered again when Evan Jacobs came to town for work.

TRINITY REPORTER

I Spring 2005

Katie Whitters Vaughn reported the following: " Nat Vaughn and I have been married almost six years now and welcomed our daughter, Maggie, on Jan. 7, 2004. She is now a year old and th e joy of our lives. She certainly keeps us smiling and very busy. It is so much fun for us to watch her learn and grow each day, as we still adjust to th e challenges of parenthood. We live in Holliston, MA, a suburb outside of Boston, and love our town and neighborhood. Nat is a teacher, and I left teaching last year to stay at home with Maggie. A difficult choice to make, but one that I have not regretted at all. I feel lucky that I can stay at home and be a mom right now. Although Nat and I don't get to see our friends from Trinity very often, we remain connected and close to a lot of people, so here is the news we know-Winston Binch and his lovely wife, Cindy, are expecting their first child this spring. Dave Mcfarland, who is currently in medical school in Connecticut, is marrying his girlfriend, Brie, in Colorado this fall. Brendan McGurk is also getting married this summer to his girlfriend, Amy. And, we just found out this week that Gary Koenig is engaged to his longtime girlfriend, Courtney. We are thrilled for all these guys and look forward to those celebrations, which will give us a chance to catch up with Trinity people! I also know that I rene Laird is getting married to her boyfriend, Elliott. I am constantly in touch with Liz Greenlaw Gill and Monique Daragjati Bannon , who are both doing well. Liz lives in Marblehead, MA, with her terrific husband, Tyler, and recently bought a house there. Morilque and Bill Bannon got married in October-a terrific wedding at the Trinity Chapel and an excellent party to follow. It was a great day, and we all had fun dancing the night away. N at and I enjoyed meeting all the Brits that came to celebrate with Monique and Bill, who still live in London and enjoy the European lifestyle. We also hear from Tom Murray, who works in environmental defense and lives

in the Washington, DC, area. John Pickford , who lives close by to Tom, is currently working and going to school, while living with his wife, Jocelyn Jones '99. We also know that John Lawrence and Tara Connelly Lawrence reside in Cambridge MA, while John fmishes business school. We wish we saw them more often, but know that school life keeps John very busy. Lastly, we know that Ben Todd just finished up his time in the Peace Corps. We stayed in touch with him through an amazing Web site that he created, which chronicled the work he was doing. He was in Lesotho, Africa, and as far as we can tell, had an incredible ell:perience helping change the world! Nat and I look up to Ben very much and hope we will see him soon, now that he is back in the United States. We send our best wishes to all our classmates and hope 2005 is a happy, healthy year for everyone." It was a nice surprise to hear from Miss Molly Devlin, now Molly Moore: "I got married to Mike Moore on August 15, 2004. We got married in the chapel of my hi gh school,Villa Walsh in Morristown, NJ. After spending (too short amount) time with the Wheaton 211 crew: Samantha Desmarais '98, Tory Marsh , and Molly Goggins Talbot as well as Ch ri s Newton and Ray Jones '98, we went to Kuaii, HI, and now live in Summit, NJ. My surprise wedding gift to Michael was that I had arranged for Ray Jones to sing, 'You're My First, My Last, My Everything,' which he did in true Barry White style. The guests LOVED it. My husband loved it. And I've received so many requests for Ray's skills since!" My good pal, Ali McCartney, took a ttip down to Philly for the event of 2005: Ray Jones turning 30. Ray who is living in Bala Cynwyd threw a party that will go down in history as one of the best. Are we at all surprised? Rob Williams, Tony Simmons, Steve Jewett, Joe DeAngelis, Seth Poole '01, and Tory Marsh were all in attendance. This all-night bash didn't wrap until the early hours of the morning. Ali was lucky enough to hang around for Ray's weekly Sunday night theme festivity dinner and a movie. Only Ray Jones ... only Ray Jones.

Go; Christina A. Palmese; Ellen Newman Petrov; Morgan M. Risse!; Emilie Howell Schmidt Hi, everybody. Bear with me this time, I'm writing you from a vicadin-induced haze. No, Your Secretary is not abusing prescription painkillers; she recently tore some cartilage in her wrist and is now sporting a lovely brace and going through life in a pleasant, medically induced fog. So, if this installment doesn't make much sense, you'll know why. First, I'd like to congratulate Liz Frei rich , who is packing away the pork products for the next few months before she enters rabbinical school in the fall. Way to go, Liz! Say a prayer for us-I, for one, need it. Also, congrats to Mark Chaffee, who proposed to girlfriend, Carrie, in October. The couple is planning a September wedding in downtown Boston. Dawn Fancher writes that she and her partner, Josh, just wrapped up their cross-country bike trip and are now moving to Montpelier, VT. Vermont is a small state, so they'll be just a few miles from Kristin Franczyk Grajales, who's keeping the population of Burlington healthy in her nursing job, while her husband, Oscar, patrols the streets.

Michael Kula reports that he left Trinity's campus safety department in 2000, and then took a job with the State of Connecticut as a liquor control agent. Nowadays, you can say hi to him at Mohegan Sun, where he enforces the state's liquor laws. Also, in 2000, Michael married Jymese Mims (a former Trinity employee). The happy couple resides in Colchester, CT. Our globetrotting Ryan Moore reports that he recently got back into the country after working for six months as a singer onboard a cruise ship. His travels took him to Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Croatia, Turkey, Morocco, and Brazil. He continues to work as an actor in Los Angeles. Speaking ofTrinity alums making it in showbiz, cooking-show fans can tune in to Everyday Food on PBS and hear the dulcet tones of Arnie Duffy Sanborn's voice- over work. Check local listings, then listen to Mrs. Sanborn spouting great lines like "Hoisin salmon. A dish your kids will love," in a fancy Announcer Voice. Philippe Blancato writes that he has graduated from S.U.N.Y. at Buffalo School of Law in May of 2004 and passed the New Jersey bar exam. He recently joined a small boutique law firm in suburban Philadelphia specializing in labor, employment, and pension and benefits litigation. Philippe says that while work as a fmt-year attorney keeps him occupied, he still finds time to snowboard and mountain bike. He sends best wishes to all his friends from Trinity, especially those celebrating their fifth-year reunion this year. James Freitas was one of 150 new teachers who began teaching in Hartford's public schools last Sept. 7. OK, people. That's all I've got.You've gotta keep the news coming or these installments are going to be short and boring. At least, I think this might be boring. I'm not really sure because I'm as high as a kite and everything is fascinating to me right now. If anyone wants any of my extra vicadin, let me know ... 15 bucks a pop. Oh, I kid, I kid.

Reportedly, ski conditions at Whistler are the wo rst they have been in 20 years, but if you ask me, a bad day ofWest Coast skiing always beats a decent one on the East Coast! Unfortunately, due to a conflicting parents' visit, Bill and Brianna (Stanton) '01 Mahoney were unable to make the trip and, though they were deftnitely missed, we still managed to have a blast! As for the missing couple, Bill writes: "Everything continues to go well in Seattle. My wife, Brianna, and I are enjoying our time in the surprisingly sunny and dry Pacific Northwest. I am working as a postdoctoral fellow for a cardiovascular pathology laboratory at the University ofWashington, a short distance from our downtown apartment. We enjoy exploring the city, though I have yet to get used to seeing the sun set into the water! We often see fellow Trinity alums, Karyn Meyer and Paul Hillman '98, with whom we cheered on the Patriots to another Super Bowl victory!"

A lot has happened since graduation, but, at the same time, it feels like yesterday that we were all walking the Lower Long Walk, an 8:30A.M. class was viewed as too early, and friends were at-the-most a five minute walk away. Just think, in two years we all will be returning to Camp Trin Trn for our Five Year Reunion.

Alumni Fund Goal: 6,000 Class Secretary : Colman Chamberlain, 272 Woodland Rd., Chestnut Hill, MA 02467-2205 e-mail: colman.chamberlain.2003@trincoll.edu Class Agent: Suzanne Schwartz

Yet again, so much has happened since I last wrote about Trinity's best class ever, the Class of 2003. I realize part of this accumulation of happenings has to do with my delinquency in not writing the last Class Notes, but I hope I can be forgiven, as this will be my final Class Notes. In two weeks, I will be leaving my current job at Smith Barney and heading off to work as a district AIDS coordinator in Botswana for the next two and one-half years (amazingly, I am not making this up). While I am gone, I an1 hoping our wicked cool Class Vice President Trude Goodman will agree to take over the arduous, yet glamorous job of writing the Class Notes. She is really, really, really awesome, and it would be extremely helpful if she could, as I will most likely not have any friends to write abou t once I can only shower once a week. On to the notes: The Bostonian crew has fared quite well this past fall and winter, on and off the field. Ann Dacey and Suzy Schwartz moved to a sweet new place looking over the Charles River in Back Bay and thus no longer get dragged by me to the North End's slice of heaven known as Bova's. Dave Marks and Jesse Faneuil have been doing great, as well, with Jesse working at Wells Fargo and Dave opening his very own auto shop in Brighton. The long-awaited return of Lauren Muenzberg to her roots in Boston has prompted many to throw caution to the wind and scream "I love Mad About You reruns!" Speaking of which, this coming week there is a going-away fiesta celebrating the fact that I am leaving and ilie saint that everyone knows and loves: Saint Patrick. In attendance at the going-away celebration will most likely be much of the Boston crew and the hottest couple on this side of the Mississippi: Laurie Gutmann and Josh Kahn . Lee Gellert, ilie man known to many

as the best fres hman and senior year roo nunate, is expected to skip some of his forensic psychology classes at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in order to attend. Others to attend and most likely cause quite a ruckus include fellow alums Joe McKeigue '68, Joanna McKeigue '97 , and Terrance Sullivan '09. All in all, it should be quite a hoedown in Beantown. O n a recent advenn1 re with Suzy Schwartz to the lOOth annual Academy of Music Ball in Philadelphia (which was aweso me), Suzy and I bumped into fellow classmate, Jim Maxfield , a current N ewYorker w ho seems to be doing very well in the financial field. Other New Yorkers, as Class President Bill Jenkins mentioned , "were seen at the Trini ty Allllnni Winter Gala in N ew York, including Paige Ambrose, Pia Bunton, Charlie Russo, Lilli Ceasar, Dave Dick, and Megan Joseph ." Filling us in on many of the N ew Yorkers, Bill w rites, "Thad Roberts spends his days teaching squash at the N ew York Athletic C lub with fellow fo rm er teanmu te, Carl "C-Baggs" Baglio. Congratulations all around to Daphne Konstantindes w ho recentl y got engaged to be marri ed to Josh Coffin '01 as she wo rks her way through Villanova Law School. Greg Rubin ," w ho is a traitor for leaving Boston, " now li ves in N ew York working fo r Accenture Consulting w hen he's not base dealing during his regular poker games . Jennifer Poppet is finishi ng up her master's at Seton Hall and has applied to be the head curator at the Met afi:er she returns fro m Greece this summer. Tracy Eames, the former leader of the Green Parry, moved to Portland to take a j ob as a big wig executive at Tom's of M aine. I also ran into Thayer Fox recentl y, and he is giving being an entrepreneur the old college try up on Capitol Hill in D. C. Patrick Guelakis is coaching a rowing program in Conn ecticut and is expected to take his team to a national championship within a yea r. Zach Perry is still enj oying wo rking in London," and talklng of himself, Bill Jenkins informs us that he "is now working for W.R . H ambrecht, promotin g the benefi ts of auction- based investment banking." Making

all moms and true believers proud, Bill also informs us that he is "still basking in the glori ous victo ry of the World C hampion Boston R ed Sox and is looking fo rward to another incredible season ." On another high note this fall , Sarah Hamilton got married to fellow alum Jeb Gutelius '96 . Some of those in attendance at the " truly beautiful " weddin g were Elizabeth Miller, Sarah Kmieciak, Laura Davis, Drew Zalkin, Suzy Schwartz, and Caroline Molitor '04. One area of sad news to report is that the extremely hot Hannah Gutstein has yet again moved even further from the singles market, in fac t out of it completely. She recently got engaged to longtime boyfri end and all aro und great guy (and cheQ, Seth Siegel-Gardn er, and is working on setti ng a da te for the sure-to-be- amazing wedding. On the oth er side of the world, M Weitz has just f1nished teaching childre n in th e M onteverde C loud Forest in C osta Ri ca and is now traveli ng throughout Central America, writing magnifi cently of her adve ntures. T he ever-awesome Robbie London is still holding up the fort in R ome and will be making it home for a quick birthday celebration in the middle of March. Lisa Osborn recently left Washingto n, D.C., on a fellowship, traveling the world with students. She just left India, which she loved, and is headed off to N ew Zealand, bringing with her a new parasitic stowaway I aptly call wormy. Anne Dijamco recently returned from her awe-inspiring adventures and has set up a remarkable Web site of her pictures at http:/ / www.sea-thru-eyes.com / .Anne is living in San Francisco and can't wait to travel some more wi th her great partn er in crime, Mark. The alunmi office reports that Jason Pace is a volunteer defensive line coach for Wolcott High School's football team.
