1978

I wonder how many of you out there noticed the Summer issue fiasco, where our class notes column was turned into a newsletter as well as class notes. One hopes that as soon as our new newsletter editor takes over, there will be no further excuses for these mix-ups.

I volunteered for the alumni telethon recently, and as a result I picked up some news. Claudia Lee works for Barnes and Noble as assistant to the director of stores. She married Stephen Holland two years ago. He provides marketing services to Entertex marketing and takes acting classes. They have two cats and no kids and a great view of Manhattan from their place in New Jersey.

Jeff Le Sueur is starting his own systems applications company. He recently celebrated his first wedding anniversary with Alison Turner (Syracuse University '81). I have in my notes "works at Pandick, Financial Printing Company in New York," but I don't remember which of them this refers to.

Jim Malter is a resident in pathology at the University of Pennsylvania. He likes pathology because it is very scientific no emotional ties to his patients. He is a landlord and is renovating the building where he is also a tenant. He did another building while he was in medical school. (This is what I call a real workaholic.)

Robert Gifford lives in Washington, D.C., and works for Rouse Company Real Estate Development. After college, he odd-jobbed and traveled in South America with Mark Brandt. Then he worked for Common Cause as a volunteer coordinator. Then he went to the Yale School of Management and got a master's in public and private management (M.P.P.M.) When he first got to Rouse, after Yale, he worked as a financial analyst. Now he is an assistant development director, working on the Underground in Atlanta. He is still not married, but his POSSLQ is Claire Sokoloff. Claire went to Brown undergrad and just got a Ph.D. in organizational behavior from Yale.

Gordon Holbein got an M.B.A. from Syracuse in December of 1983. He married Jerry in January. He now works in strategic planning. (Sorry I neglected to ask him what that means.,) They have a daughter, Julia Barbara Holbein, who was born in January 1984.

Terry Scriven is rumored to be in medical school and engaged to a Dartmouth alum.

John Brenner is married. His wife's name is Lydia. They have a daughter, Meredith, who is three-and-a-half. John works at a 100-attorney firm called McCarther and English in New Jersey.

Theresa Cobb Andrews married RonaldAndrews two years ago. They had a daughter, Jessica Carol, on May 18, 1985. Theresa is an attorney, working for a judge in the administrative law office in Newark. Ronald works for Prudential.

Someone, I don't remember who, requested the location of Margaret Altemus and Holly and Robert Cook. Would they or someone write in with the latest news?

Nancy Desnoyer Faigen still works for IBM. Hugh Dyar works down the hall. She is a product administrator for large systems. She has no kids. She married Ron Faigen in September 1984. (Please tell me if I've got the spellings wrong here.)

Robert Frieman is living in Forest Hills (I see that I have omitted to note the state, so I guess I meant New York). He started work at Chase, Manhattan this summer as a programmer/analyst. He has a new baby, Gregory Michael, born May 3, 1985. He informs me that Steve Man-del works at Goldman, Saks and has a new kid. Robert asks for more news of Dirk Davidson.

David B. Master is married to Susan Melfi-Master, a graduate of Keene State College in Keene, N.H., who went to Dartmouth for a couple of terms. Susan also has a master's degree from UNH.

Suzanne Patton is living with her sister, Lauren '80, in Chapel Hill, N.C. Suzanne is going back to medical school so she can do cancer research more effectively. She feels she has had a good post-doc position but did not have a big enough choice of research working for the government. She thinks the M.D. will give her more pull. Florence Delbridge visited this summer. Florence is working as a computer programmer for an insurance company in Atlanta. Suzanne's sister, Karen '87, is at Dartmouth and has not yet declared a major.

Athena Robinson married Tommy Randolph in 1979. Their litte boy, Cory Lavaughn Randolph, will be three in September. Tommy has finished medical school. (This all comes from Tina's mother.)

Mark Garber tells me that he and his wife, Julia Frank, M.D., had a little girl, Naomi Francis Garber, on July 12, 1985, and "she can lick any other three-week- old baby in the world."

Frances Hellman writes that she has finally finished her Ph.D. in physics at Stanford. She claims this was after a much-longer-than-necessary thesis. She is now moving to New Jersey for a two- year post-doctoral position at Bell Laboratories. Since she took approximately eight months longer to finish than she had promised them, her vacation will consist of taking ten days to drive across the country. She will be living somewhere in the Murray Hill area of New Jersey.

Steve Adnopoz tells me that we exceeded our fund-raising goals, setting a new seven-year-out record. Kudos!
