1985

Our "First Letter Award." After three months of begging, we have a winner: A smelly reunion towel goes to Colleen Keller, whose dull desk job as a navy analyst occasionally requires her to fly an A6E Intruder over Hawaii. While accompanying the carrier Independence on manoeuvres she got in some "stick time" on the Vietnam-era fighter plane. She reports the experience "more fun than driving my station wagon," and wonders if she should have been a pilot. (Given the political situation at press time, the writers are glad Colleen is safe in Washington. However, please relay any personal stories pertaining to the Gulf Crisis, as it occurs to us there may be some '85s involved.) Colleen also noticed that Nestor Zavros, Chris Gill and Ty Easton were conspicuously absent from reunion and wonders why.

I received only one other letter, so much of the rest of the column is based on unsubstantiated field reports. Please don't gripe if it's not 100 percent accurate WRITE!

I did receive an unauthorized, anonymous press release announcing the engagement of Pat Hoeg and Rick Kenneally. Some advice, if I may:

Savor those first quiet, innocent days of engagement. They're the last you'll be seeing for a while as you enter Planning Purgatory-Where, When, How Many, What Color, The Caterers, The Florists, The Invitation, The Music, The Rehearsal Dinner, and what about the video don't forget the video ... Welcome to the trenches of love, you two.

Another unconfirmed marriage report. Mike Oneisky is rumored hitched in Sep- tember in Boston. Allegedly some of Mike's Kappa Sig bro' (notably Paul DiSilvestri and Jim Leitheiser) pulled off their shirts in a short Chippendale's routine during the reception for blushing bride Carol. Who says the Kappa Sigs can't hold their liquor?

Adrienne Wilscam Scott, herein recently reported as pregnant, had a healthy baby boy, Alexander Charles. Proud father John reportedly called the College for an admission form for the class of 2012. Start prepping for those SATs, Alex.

Belated news of another baby reached our Lincoln Tunnel field office in New Jersey, this one born to Peter Lehmann and his wife, Liz, bearing the fetchingly alliterative moniker Samantha Suzanne. Pete, Liz, and Sam live in suburban bliss in the "Garden State" (although Pete has been known to consult in Gotham between diaper changes).

Sources say Bobby Lewert won $40 betting on NFL football between real estate deals in D.C. This may not sound like much money until you realize it's an amalgam of a $1000 win one week and a $960 loss the next. We also noted that the name of the betting scheme he plays is called The "Triple Tease"... Go figure.

Here at the tail end of the column, I'd like to indulge in a little self-promotion. I'm writing from the set of the film "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" in England. My company, Trilogy Entertainment, is producing the film, which will be released by Warner Brothers next summer. Although my exact job description is vague, lately I've been working on the script with Kevin Costner, and the film's director, Kevin Reynolds. Hey, I'm digging myself.

Well, that's all she wrote. Ciao, Babe don't be a stranger. WRITE!!!
