The class notes - my last task before I leave for Hungary on Iron Curtain Airways and my three-night stay at the Budapest Barbizon. What subversive info can I spread before I leave? Chjis Lee has left California for mid town Manhattan.

There's got to be some subversion there. Chris is now with American Management Systems, a technology consulting firm, after wrapping up an M.B.A. at Cornell last June. Etienne Boillot is also in New York after two years of business school at Stanford. He is now with First Boston, I hear. Lisa Sanders has made the opposite trek and has left New York for UCLA Business School. Ditto for Art Switchenko, who finished up his Ph.D. in biochemistry at MIT and is now in Palo Alto working with Syntex, a drug company.

Lisa Vetter is living in the burbs of Antwerp (sounds like a late night movie). She's working for Procter & Gamble in Belgium and has decided that a Euro-marriage is in order. Lisa is engaged to Jules Kortenhorst, a Dutchman and fellow Harvard M.B.A. They've set the wedding for August. Tim Seeley is also engaged. He'll be married to Elise Grant in June. After that it's divinity school. As for the recent history, Tim spent two years after Dartmouth working with delinquent high school kids, then, as he puts it, "recovering for a year building houses on Martha's Vineyard." For the last two years Tim has been teaching and coaching at the Portsmouth Abbey School in Rhode Island.

Sarah Sully is teaching Italian and French up at Dartmouth and is managing Bill Cole's jazz group, Wind and Thunder on the side. They were recently in New York doing a stint at Sweet Basil's and will be back in the fall. I recommend it if you get the chance. Debbie Williamson is now in her sixth year at Lawrence Country Day out on Long Island teaching 5th-9th grade classes.

On the wedding front, Tim Macaulay married Donna Lambert in Framingham, Mass., last September. Tim is now a programmer at Health Data Institute in Lexington, Mass., and Dave Crane is now a happily married man, having tied the knot with Ruth Blodgett last September in Swampscott, Mass. Dave got his M.B.A. at the University of Chicago and is now with Crane and Company, the paper manufacturers.

Bret Armbruster has surfaced after four years in the army. He is married to Valerie - has been for five years now - and is now adjusting to the private sector and life in civies. He's now doing real estate in northern Virginia.

Jonathan Bain is now in Boston after finishing up last June at Yale Law School Jonathan is an associate with Hale and Dorr and is married to Nancy Gins.

Tom Farmer has moved to DC, where he is with CNN producing the Washington segments of Daybreak. Tom has been producing for regional television in Burlington, Vt., for the last five years. He reports that Bill Dorman is also in Washington with CNN.

Finally, Jim McGannon is currently coveting the 1987 Connecticut Amateur Open Golf trophy, having placed in the final eight last year. Besides perfecting his swing, Jim spends time in Stamford, Conn., as an assistant manager at Brooks Brothers and is willing to offer advice on all the sartorial problems that plague you.

I risk the wrath of my editor if I continue on with this diatribe. I'll save it for next time. Tune in.
