1980
I'm ashamed to admit that it worked. My last column, what one could describe as an eclectic mix of fact and fiction prompted numbers of responses/corrections/outcries. Among them:
Charlie Malloy, whose career on ice has been eclipsed by his skill at the martial arts. (Calm down; I said martial, not marital). Charlie is a black belt and owns a martial arts center in Connecticut.
Ross Jaffee's telephone number indicates that he is still in San Francisco, rather than Tulsa, as I had claimed before, or Oklahoma City, as he would like us to believe.
Lori Zelikow married Tom Florio in early June. Lori is advertising director for Seventeen magazine and will send free Bonne Bell samples to any who request them. Tom holds the same position at a new Conde Nast publication, Traveler. Tom will not send free samples to any who request them.
Jessie Draper had a front and center picture on the wine page in the daily San Francisco paper. (The wine page is a very important page around here, right up there with sports and comics.) Jessie is with Wine Imports, Ltd. and Draper & Esquin Wine Merchants and was married last spring to Scott King.
Omar Khan recently received his M.B.A. from Stanford. Omar managed to get funding from Merrill Lynch and credit from Stanford for producing a full-length (Can anyone explain to me what half-length would be?) video on the foibles and fortunes of business school students.
Charlie Clement is switching jobs with the Dartmouth Development Office. Charlie will move from the Alumi Fund to Planned Giving.
Tench Coxe, who decided that living in the burbs of San Jose, Calif., was too frenetic, has moved to the calmer life in San Francisco.
And finally me. Sometime in the fall I will pack up my dirty brown Honda Civic and move to Boston. I recently resigned from Bain & Company in order to accept a position in the Harvard Development office. Wade Herring is especially pleased that, by doing so, I have set myself up for exceptional abuse. Wade, have mercy.
