First off, I have important reunion news to pass along. The theme of the class of 1987's 5th Reunion is "Going for the Green" (hint: next year is an Olympic year), and it will take place June 18-21, 1992. So, mark your calendar, pack your bags, tell your neighbors, hold your mail, bring your family, count your blessings, watch your step, write your congressman, and find someone to feed the dog, because this will be the mother of all reunions!
Looking now to that crazy Big Apple, I received word from Nancy Davis that all is well with* her in law school in New York. To keep herself sane and to make a few dollars on the side, Nancy creates plate shard art figurines of cactuses, urns, etc., and sells them at craft fairs. This type of art can be seen on many a street corner in Greenwich Village, adorning the streedight poles. Nancy reports that Christine Withers has completed law school and is now a clerk for the 4th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals.
Meanwhile, just one short circuit away, RickPepperman has finished a clerkship at the 3rd Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in Philadelphia. Rick is now working at the firm of Sullivan & Cromwell in New York and he plans to begin a clerkship for Chief Justice Rehnquist of the U.S. Supreme Court next July. Amazingly enough, Greg Garre will begin clerking for Rehnquist next July as well. Greg just graduated from George Washington University's law school, where he was editor of the school's law review.
Last May UVA law school awarded degrees to Mark Brzezinski, Sloane Anders, and Rob Saunders. Mark earned a Fulbright Scholarship to study the new constitutional court in Poland, and Sloane has headed for San Diego to set up her practice. Rob was given an award at graduation for the best written student note 3 thought you weren't supposed to write notes in class, but this is law school). Rob married Diana Headley last summer in New York, and ElaineMailinowsky Pons was among the witnesses. Elaine works for General Reinsurance in Dallas and will begin law school this fall, while her husband, Scott, has just earned an M.B.A. from Southern Methodist University.
All right, I've reached my lawyer quota for this column. Now to the doctors: The four- some of Martha Ehrmann, Tom Fyda, PamGeertgens Kantarowski, and EricWeidman received their degrees from Duke's medical school in May. Martha has stayed at Duke to pursue a specialty in obstetrics and gynecology, and Tom has begun an orthopedic residency in lowa City. Pam has started a preliminary year of internal medicine at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.
Eric, on the other hand, couldn't wait for graduation to marry classmate Diane DeMallie on April 27. Eric is interning at a community hospital in St. Louis, and then he will begin a residency at the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at Barnes Hospital. Diane is a psychiatric resident at Barnes.
I'll finish up with a note from the great Northwest. My former roommate Dan Foster is creating quite a niche for himself in Washington. Dan has started a coffee shop and brew pub in Port Townsend, and he has bought five acres of land on the Olympic Peninsula near Seattle. He hopes to build a home there as well as some commercial lodging.
