1981
More on "The Young and the Restless." (In Dirk Olin's case, of course, it's just "The Young.") In June, several in our ranks underwent the final rile de passage from academe to life with a paycheck. In canvassing the degree recipients, we see that Dr. Patrick Malloy graduated from U. Mass. School of Medicine and has started a residency in internal medicine at Johns Hopkins. Victor Donnay finished up a Ph.D. in math at NYU. He'll be in Zurich for a year earning a post-doctorate before starting a two-year teaching stint at Princeton in September 1987.
John Ryan graduated from the J.D./ M.B.A. program at Harvard in June and is now in New York with Goldman Sachs. Bruce Keyser received the coveted M.D. from Jefferson Medical College in June and will be doing a residency in ophthalmology in Philadelphia. While in school Bruce was inducted into the AOA medical honor society as well as an honor society for clinical medicine. Brooks Thayer is moving north again. He graduated in June from the J.D./M.B.A. program at Vanderbilt and has now started with the firm of Goldstein and Manello in Boston.
As for those still slugging it out in the academic world, Ken Mundt finished his masters in epidemiology from U. Mass., Amherst, and is now on for the Ph.D. at UNC, Chapel Hill. Ray Hiley is now in his third year at Boston College Law and is editor-in-chief of the Environmental Affairs Law Review. Ray spent the summer with Goodwin, Proctor and Hoar in Boston. Bob Dale is in his third year of law school at UCLA and Lisa Montuori just started at the Yale School of Nursing after four years of social service and church work in the Upper Valley. Eileen Chamberlain Donahoe will be starting her second year of a joint degree at Stanford in law and East Asian studies. Eileen was in Hong Kong for the summer with husband John and son Jack, both of whom enjoyed the sights while she slaved away in a law firm.
Hong Kong seems to be the pick city for '81s (the pre '97 crowd ... in while the getting is good). Sam Dixon recently passed through with the Minnesota Orchestra in his capacity as artistic administrator. From Hong Kong it was on to the Casals festival in Puerto Rico then back to Minnesota to manage the Orchestra's summer festival. Marcia McCrea and new husband Pete Clinton will be in Hong Kong in '87. They were married in Honolulu in August and will be in Tokyo for the fall before moving on to Hong Kong in January.
As for more on mergers and acquisitions, my insider information has brought me no direct financial gain, but has revealed that Cindy Ritter was engaged in July to Thomas Ewing, a lawyer in N.Y. Cindy is also in N.Y. as an account executive with the advertising firm SSC & B. Randy Bodner married Elizabeth Evans '83 this summer in Cohasset, Mass. After clerking for the Second Circuit Court of Appeals last year, Randy is now an associate at Ropes and Gray in Boston. And Bill Lenderking married Alexandra Brill in New York in July. Bill is currently working on a Ph.D. at the University of Connecticut. He and Alexandra will be living in Coventry, Conn.
As for the new recruits, Hans Helmerich reports on the arrival of their second child, Shelby Kate, 8 lbs. 7 oz. Liz Keppler McCloy and husband Mark are staying up late with their August arrival. Liz is now in Chicago working as a real estate attorney for Sidley and Austin. BobSouthworth, out in Denver teaching at a private school, was recently married, as were Steve Horwitz and Tom Duke. No further details on the latter two.
Who else? Debbie Bennett is now in her second year at Wharton after a cruise in the Carribean and a summer in Minneapolis as a marketing assistant for Pillsbury. Steve Sullivan is down in D.C. as an associate with Ober, Kaler, Grimes and Shriver. Jon Goss is in Boston with Slade Gorton and Cos., where he and his new wife, Maria, work as seafood traders. Fraser Smith (Nanook of the South) made it up from Florida for the fifth. His southern accent has matured like a fine burgundy and should definitely be bottled. I'll take a case. Fraser is designing and building furniture and working on his sculpture on the side. Finally, MichaelLeede reports that he is still out in Midland, Tx., working with his dad, class of '49, and "trying to stay aggressive" in the oil and gas industry. To that effect they just finished drilling the deepest gas well ever in Oklahoma-25,000 feet. He ex- tends an open invitation to '81s in the area and clarifies that, in Texas, that equates to a 300-mile radius. So that's it, I'm off. It's short . . . but it is monthly and I'll be back. In the meantime, remember the immortal words of Thomas Jefferson: hang loose and reproduce.
