1990

Not long after briefly mentioning her in the summer issue, I received a letter from Nina Kushner, who is indeed in The Gambia, West Africa. She is working as a Peace Corps volunteer science teacher at a sort of remedial high school. She has about 300 students, ages 13-20, and lives in a mud hut with a grass roof and no windows. She gets water from the village pump and carries it back to the hut in buckets balanced on her head. There's no electricity either.

M.J. Lytle is an investment banking analyst at Morgan Stanley's London office. He is in the national resources division, so he deals with stuff like oil, gas, and chemical companies. He was in New York this past summer for a training course. I wonder if he could tell uS where that tenth of a cent we pay goes when we buy gas for a price like $1,259?

Sue Domchek is in her second year at Harvard Med. She did research for the Joslin Diabetes Center this summer, and enjoys the fact that other classmates, such as Dan Posner, have strange student-type hours. Dan is working towards a Ph.D. at Harvard. Amy Banulis is another med student, at Northwestern. Elizabeth Burnett and Mary Vogrin are living in Hoboken, N.J., and enjoying N.Y.C. Becky Thomas is at Stanford Law this year.

Adam Bookbinder is in his second year at Harvard Law. He spent the summer working for Hale and Dorr, a Boston law firm. Adam says his first year at Harvard was "more fan than humans should be allowed," and I'm sure that's why he came back for more of the same. Gary Katz started his Harvard Law education this fall.

Hoping all of us will send her our money to invest, Kimberly Robinson reports she's now a broker at Chatfield Dean & Co., investment bankers, in the Roslyn, N.Y., office.

When we last left Lindsey Pahs, he was still journeying around Mexico, Central and South America with a friend from Cornell. Some highlights: a "gut-dislodging" bus ride in northern Guatemala, a trip down the Amazon River, and the Bolivian Andes at 18,000 feet, He ran into Carl Seielstad and Eric Butz while the two were snorkelling and scubadiving off a small island off the coast of Honduras. Lindsey was last sighted in Denver, looking for a teaching job.

Pete Pasi called to say he is working for Viguerie & Associates, a political consulting firm in Rosslyn, Va. He is a copy writer at the firm, which is engaged in a good deal of direct mailing.

Linda Kim wrote in to say that she is teaching fifth graders in San Jose this year. She is a bit excited and nervous at the prospect of working with "big" kids in a neighborhood known for drugs and gangs. Linda's probably saying to herself, "I guess I'm not in Lebanon (N.H.) anymore!"

Is it my imagination, or are lots of '90s married or planning to be that way very soon? Anyway, the newest '90 I've heard about is Kim Lewis, who is engaged to marry Brent Forester '88 in May. For now Kim is working at Little, Brown & Co. in N.Y.C. as an editorial assistant in children's books. Since Kim is our class representative to the Alumni Council, she says you should feel free to contact her with any concerns you might have about what's going on at the College. Write her at 5 Clinton Lane, Harrison, NY 10528. Lisa Porter, working on the Gatorade account at Quaker in Chicago, is engaged to Jason Kable; the two will marry in June.

One last bit of business: Dartmouth Night is October 25, and I hope to see a good number of you there. And don't forget your '90 shirts—where else can you wear them?
