1980
"All or nothing."
Henrik Ibsen MONEY. I thought that would get your attention. And that is precisely where Sally Sandercock is hanging her hat, as she has joined Money magazine's New York advertising sales staff. Sally had been an account manager for Business Week in Washington, D.C. So it seems Sally is living proof that Reaganomics is not just a city in China. Too bad Money cannot hire another 10.1 per cent of the work force.
Another classmate heard from is Kirk Wickman — husband, father, scholar, lawyer. Kirk is set to finish the combinedJ.D.-M.B.A. program at Brigham Young University. Congratulations to Kirk and his wife Sheryle (Dartmouth/B.Y.U. '81), who have a second son, Nathaniel Joseph, joining two-year-old Thomas Michael. Kirk has accepted a job with the law firm of Kirkland and Ellis in Chicago.
With no less than a pinch between her cheek and gum, Laurel Smith writes from Hanover West - Palo Alto. She, Bart Littlefield, Derek Brown, and Marc and Kim Lewis all joined the Stanford ski team and homesteaded at the team's cabin at Lake. Tahoe this winter. Laurel assists the undergraduate team members with their liquid training meals by singing "Why were you born so beautiful . . . ?" at every opportunity. She also ran into Steve Murphy, who is working in a restaurant in Squaw Valley. Steve completed his master's degree in mechanical engineering last summer before hiking off to his job on the mountain. Never underestimate the power of Princeton's job placement program.
Editor's note: Ed Fernandes is not slated to work in the Massachusetts Traffic Courts next year. Following his graduation from Columbia Law School this spring, Ed anticipates a restful period of unemployment.
Upstate news item: Amy Ladd writes from Syracuse about Rick Zogby's corrective nose surgery, marathoner Amy's leg surgery (to repair a running injury), and Brian Wicks's general behavior. "Drs. Zogby, Ladd, and Wicks hit the Syracuse hospital wards this fall not, however, unscathed. The first suffered a crooked nose, the second a crooked leg, and the third a crooked mind. Fortunately, extra hours in surgery have straightened out each deviation."
I signalled the Post Office employees to back the truck up to the coal chute. With the aid of an able rigging crew, we slid the package down to the basement where I began to disseminate the information. Such is the result when Rob Daisley chooses to write a letter. Rob's recent tome spurred me to issue a buy-order for 100 shares of International Paper. In a nutshell, writing a capsule of Rob's Virginia Law School notes is akin to submitting a book review of Shakespeare's collected works.
For starters, Steve "Miami Rap" Bullock has accepted a job. Rob neglected to tell me where. Frank Vacella will work in Dallas next year. Sadly, this will burn up the Softball franchise that has landed assorted world championships for UVA. Earl Mourning will vacate his post as editor-in-chief of The Virginia Journal ofInternational Law to work in New York next year.
Dan Holmes will return to his hometown of Boston and Liz Pickar will probably work in Washington, D.C. Rob also reports that BrianBoyer is back from self-administered exile in Germany and is working for a computer company in Boston.
And as for Rob himself, he has spent the last two summers working in Tampa and Los Angeles. Faced with the enviable task of choosing between permanent jobs in these two cities, Rob thought back to a heartfelt message he once received from Pete Scannell: "Life is but a search for permanent spring break." Choosing to locate himself no farther from Rollins College's women's dormitory than possible, Rob has decided to work for Holland and Knight in Tampa. I fully expect that Rob will fulfill the unenviable task of becoming a Tampa Bay Bucs fan.
As the bridges go tearing by: Alex Frank isscheduled to marry Jane Sandler this May. Alex should also receive his M.B.A. from the University of Michigan this spring.
And congratulations are also in order for Peter Mellette, who is engaged to marry Kerry Crowley. Peter is a law student at the University of Richmond.
Well, the big shock wave just hit the mainland. This story may force Abigail Van Buren to rewrite her bestseller, Can't Miss Martia:Bliss. Singlehandedly attempting to set the in stitution of marriage back 100 years, Peter Marlette is engaged to marry Helen Ladds this August. Pete graduates from Georgetown Law School this spring and will join the Buffalo law firm of Damon and Morey. Mo, congratulations. Helen, I'm not sure that your Blue Cross covers this.
We are headed into mud season now, but do not despair. April showers being May flowers and Mayflowers bring . . .

A vice president of the Dartmouth Huh Club, Hough won two nights of lodgingand a dinner at the Hanover Inn, plus two tickets to an athletic event at the College. Drawing thewinning ticket, and presenting it here to Rough, was Judy McLaughlin, right, the wife ofPresident David McLaughlin.
