Last time, we reviewed change in the context of babies. Change and babies are a constant theme in our review of our class history. Weddings are another recurring theme. Usually, weddings precede the babies. Today, these themes will again appear as we attempt to encapsulate our unfolding saga. We will also look at work and class struggle, more necessary to some of us than others, for while all of us are members of the same class, some have more class than others.
Brian McConnel has returned to Sicily after a year-long visiting appointment to Connecticut College. Brian works as a collaborating archaeologist for the Soprintendenza ai Beni Culturali ed Ambientali di Agrigento. You should see his business cards!
Eric Pfeiffer has been appointed to the board of directors of James Neill Canada, Inc., headquartered in Sheffield, England. Continuing our focus on things international, Mark Dembro has been stationed by the State Department in Djibouti on the Gulf of Aden.
Dave Bumstead has returned to New York from the London office of White & Case. Bump's sister recently married RobDaisley's cousin. Under the law, Rob is now related to Dave, although a court of equity might take mercy on Rob and sever the relationship.
Rob recently became a partner in the Tampa, Fla., firm of Annis, Mitchell, Cockey, Edwards & Roehn. Our class reportedly has 110 lawyers. That, however, is not too many. If 50 of the lawyers sue only 50 of the 100 doctors in our class, then 50 of the remaining lawyers will be needed to represent the doctor defendants. That leaves only ten lawyers to represent the 790 of you who are neither doctors nor lawyers, not to mention the docs who haven't been sued yet.
Of that number, some 70 to 80 people do something with computers, and computer people are always in trouble.
Casey Giles will make lawyer III. She begins law school this fall after working in pension law for nine years, most recently at O'Melveny & Myers. In July Casey married artist Tony Pinto. They met six years ago at a party hosted by Greg Clow '8l. Following the wedding, Casey and Tony left their four cats behind for a three-week honeymoon in France. All this courtesy of bridesmaid Colleen O'Brien.
Carl Hjelm, still a geologist, reports that he has had no serious injuries the last three years.
Dan and Penny Freihofer live in Lyme, N.H., with their two children, ages 3 and 1. After living in Washington, D.C., for six years, they have enjoyed the more familyoriented pace of New Hampshire. Dan is in the fuel oil and gas distribution business.
Steve Kim left New York for San Francisco to work for Rosenberg Capital Management. He is not married and has no reported babies.
Notice how the themes of marriage, children, and work intertwine. Until next time, class dismissed.
Pedagogically yours.
