1985

Did anybody see the Spinks-Tyson fight? That minute and a half of excitement doesn't come close to the thrill of Harry Bourque's bout. Harry recently won the title of "Heavyweight Boxing Champion of Wall Street." While he did not win millions of dollars, he did help raise over $100,000 for handicapped children.

If anybody's wondering where our class budget stands, ask our treasurer Rodney Chun. Rodney has recently completed a five-month round-the-world trip through London, West Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France, India, Thailand, Hong Kong, China, and Taiwan. Before that he was living in Taipei with Ben Wiley 'B4. Rodney came home with plans to attend the Johns Hopkins School for Advanced International Studies (SAIS) in September.

Kreg Lindberg is a first-year student at the SAIS in Bologna, Italy. He'll be back in Washington, D.C., this fall to complete his second year. Cathy Loos married Dan Devaney '84 last December in Cathy's home state ofHawaii. Jennifer Russuck was married last summer, but since she and her husband live in Hong Kong, I couldn't get any details.

Congratulations are also in order to Peter Anastos and Julie Martin, who were married in Wellesley, Mass., on June 12. After honeymooning in St. Lucia, the Anastoses are living in Boston.

Tim Coughlin and Lauren Martell took their vows on July 16 in Syracuse. Lauren and Tim met in Syracuse, where they are fellow students of Syracuse Law School Don Pomeroy and his fiancee, Pam, are planning an October 1 wedding. RickMassey and his longtime girlfriend, Anne, will be married in September of 1989 in Marblehead, Mass. Anne is a buyer for Filene's men's department, while Rick works in his family's carpentry business.

A fourth '85 soon to walk the aisle is John Wack. A member of our class's "Koala Connection," John lives in Sydney where he plays and instructs lacrosse. Other members of the "Koala Connection" include Scott Kehoe and Ed Simpson. Scott's reportedly a fugitive who has escaped Boston to play lacrosse in Australia with John. Ed's game, on the other hand, is rugby. And since he's an Australian citizen, he's working there as well.

Andy Osman left his job at Travelers and moved to Westport, Conn., where he's working for IBM. Michael Caraviello is moving to Springfield, Mass., for his job. Rumor had it that he was building a trailer park. Extensive investigation revealed that he's actually building a hotel.

David Sidenberg is living in Allston, Maine, with his brother, and is doing parttime temp work to support his writing habit. He plans to finish a pretty hefty manuscript by the end of summer on the contradictions of religion and modernity the working ti tle is "The Parting Waters." David received his master's in education last year from Harvard, where he focused on tne relationship between education and political discourse. He plans to develop a moshav in Vermont. (Moshav is Hebrew for an international community in which there is both private and public ownership.) David's gathered some 30 people for this!

Other news: Nancy Novak moved to Cambridge last summer after spending a year in Turkey. Ann McCarthy moved from San Francisco to L.A. and is working for a travel magazine. Sally Schwartz is living in Chicago, working as a photo editor for Outside magazine. Kent Kroft moved home to Maryland after a two-and-a-half year stint in New York City.

Finally, congratulations to Tyler and Marnie Lindblad on the birth of their son, Brewster, born on July 3.
