1983

Greetings from the North Pole, a.k.a. Chicago. Due to circumstances beyond their control, Wilbert and Judy could not join you this month, and thus I have been given (given myself) the opportunity of reporting the exploits of our great class.

Let's start in Chicago (my kind of town) where Jim "Beers" Mitchell is working for Leo Burnett, while his wife, Loren BachelderMitchell, is doing development and public relations work for the Sacred Heart School. Other Leo Burnett employees include: JohnKania, Kevin Connolly (who is also taking an acting course at Second City), and ChrisHunt. Our newest Chicagoan is Liz Cahill, who has taken a job with IBM. Further north in suburbia, Bill Scoville is taking time off from his engineering courses at Northwestern to chase after high school women. (Some people just never change.) Up in the North Country comes word that Martha Sundberg has enrolled at the University of Minnesota Law School.

Moving out, Bob Teeter sends greetings and cheer from La La Land. Fie will be living in Houston and Kansas City this summer, working for various law firms. Meanwhile, Mike Peltz has been working as a paralegal at a large L.A. law firm since graduation. Other members of the "Sun Bunch" include Tucker Gates, who is working as a production assistant for "The A-Team," Claire Ingham, who is working as a research assistant in physiology and biophysics at the USC School of Medicine, and Dave Brittain, who is at the USC Business School.

Further up the coast in Palo Alto, AndyEvans sends word of his fabulous mountaineering trip in East Africa. Also, JeffyGlendinning will be going to California on a six-month rotation for GE. She will be working as an engine mechanic on F-18s at an undisclosed naval base. Finally, Alan Eagle is in San Francisco, working for Fujitsu and planning a spring mini-reunion in the Bay Area. (Right, Alan?) A tour of the west would not be complete without stops in Utah, where Dave Grainger is attending graduate school at the University of Utah, and in Seattle, where Courtenay Newton was last seen hiking with fishing expert Peter Barry.

On the other coast, we find many Dartmouth '83s going about their business. JensRobinson is working for his father in New York and plans to attend the London School of Economics in the fall. Other prominent New Yorkers include: the terrific trio of Nancy Bick, Sue Thornton, and KathyStoughton, ski maniacs Judy Stone and JulieKeegan, boring bankers Mitch Barnett, Kathy Batchelder, and Andre Hunter, students Joel Reidenberg, Ray Patterson, and JessicaRosenberg, and naturalized Italian JackCampbell.

Further down the coast, entrepreneurial Dave Ellis can be found making megabucks and calendars in New Jersey. Transplanted New Jerseyite professor Reed Webster is in his second year as a teacher and tennis coach at the Germantown School. Other Philadelphians include Leslee Subak (U Penn Med), prominent architect-to-be Keith Moskow, and sometimes the omnipresent Richie Diver. Meanwhile, down in Baltimore, MikeFalcone is doing deals for Shelter Realty Corp.

Mark Stein is having a capital time in D. C., working for Senator Gordon Humphrey (along with Gordon McDonald). Bill Burke, Gordon's Phi Delt bro, can be seen running in sub-zero weather, when he is not studying law at Georgetown. Speaking of law, former Washingtonian Howie Brick is at Columbia, and he will be working for the D. A. in Boston this summer. Joining Howie in Boston are roommates Kathy Bowler (Bank of Boston) and Shelley Drake (Harvard Graduate School). Other wearers of both the Green and the Crimson include Ann Marie Healey, who is at the Harvard Divinity School, and JuanC. Navarro, who on January 5 married the former Maria del Carmen Campagnani Paredes. While we are talking about Cambridge, Mass., why not talk about Cambridge, England, where Jean Korelitz is finishing up her second year of studies and having her first book of poems published. Other students in Britain include Steve Jennings, Rob Stein, and Dan Zelikow.

On to other countries. At last word, LaszloMadaras and Peter Kilmarx were still in Zaire on the seconci year of their aquaculture program for the Peace Corps. Also, Brian Fenn was last seen shoveling snow and taking courses in Goteburg, Sweden. Finally, our Morgan Banker, Rob Rohn, has just returned to New York after a month's visit to Nepal.

Back to the U.S.: Justine Robinson is working at a development training program for retarded persons at a small school near Coconut Grove, Fla. Meanwhile, Derek Bronkis in training at Pensacola, learning the finer points of being a fighter pilot. Finally, BradGessner is at the Florida Med School, cutting up cadavers (and wrestling alligators on the side).

Moving westward again, we arrive at our final destination, Texas. In Galveston, ToddSamuelson and his new wife, Didi, are settling in while Tex attends medical school. In Houston, transplanted New Yorker ChrisAndrews is, we hope, not making energy loans for the Morgan Bank. Finally, MacGardner is in Dallas, working for a real estate investment firm.

Well, that brings me back to Chicago and draws this column to a close. Wilbert will be back next time, so until then . . . JAMES C. GREGG '83
