1982

82 As promised, here are the leftover musings from last month's overflow. BrookTolley Confort has been saving news seemingly since our last reunion and has dropped it on me all at once. To kick it off she writes, "Michael and I had our second baby on March 5, a girl whom we named Caroline. We have another daughter, Caitlin, who is now two."

"Now for more news . . . Last November, Sharon Flynn wed Alan McClymonds (Colgate '83) in Corning, N.Y., and there were a large number of '82s present to help them celebrate their nuptials. I was a bridesmaid, as were Karen Masterson Dienst, an associate at the San Francisco firm of Morrison & Forrester, and Sherri Carroll Oberg, who is president of Neophormics, a small biotech firm in Cambridge, Mass. Karen and Sherri both left their daughters home (Callie and Allison), as did I.

"In from the Philadelphia area were Dr. Ron Lohner and his wife, Michelle. Ron is currendy at the University of Pennsylvania where he is on a two-year fellowship. SallyAdnopoz Gendler and husband Steve '78 were also in from Philly. They recendy became the proud parents of daughter Abigail. Dr. Susan Burkhardt and Kelly Dixon Cooper, who is a buyer for Carroll Reed, also attended from Philadelphia.

"New York City was well represented by Corimxe Heyes, who is vice president and benefits manager at Wertheim Schroder, Laura Murray, and Crashy Zacher Brown.J.Jaye Hanley Miynarski was also therewith husband Hank, as well as Ann MacAfferJohnson and her husband, Eric, who drove in from Albany, where Ann is in real estate.

"David Pleckenpol flew in from the West Coast, where he is attending Stanford Business School after five successful years at CATS Software in San Francisco. Tyler WatlingtonSchmidt made the trip from Denver, where she is a doctor in pediatrics. Kate PesekSachman and her husband, Don, blew in from the windy city and left son Charlie at home so they could rage with the rest of us.

"Gina Kunz also hails from Chicago and works at Deloitte Touche. She, too, was at this mini-reunion of sorts. Jody Palermo Teevens and husband Scott left Joey and Alexis at home in Massachusetts to watch Sharon make the trip down the aisle.

"Other Dartmouth alums included the father of the bride, Jim Flynn '56, as well as Sherri's husband Curt Oberg '78, Kelly Fowler Hunter '83 and husband Andre, Kate Drislane Howe '83, Laura Vail Wooster '83 and husband Jim (whose band the Courage Brothers played at the wedding), Kim Steel '83, and Jeannie Boutelle '81.

"Some more baby news: Paula VauneDugan Brooks and her husband, Scott,had a baby boy, Chase, in November. LillianCousins Giornelli and husband Greg had twin girls on June 9: Jillian and Ann. They have a two-year-old daughter Adelaide."

Thanks for the info, Brook. You should certainly be considered for this position when it becomes available.

Warren Allmon writes that he is moving to Ithaca, N.Y., "to become director of the Paleontological Research Institution, a privately endowed institution housing one of the largest collections of invertebrate fossils in North America. I will also have the opportunity to teach biology and geology at Cornell University."

That just about does it for this month. Special thanks to Brook for her incredibly informative letter. It certainly made my life easier. Get psyched for June! See ya!
