1988

88 With winter staring you in the face, it's time to start planning your ski trip, so let's check in with a couple of our I skiing types. Tove Stigum and Amy Lord wrote back in April but, thanks to deadlines, are just now getting the ink they deserve.

Tove and husband Jon Bigelow '87 are "the proud parents of a rambunctious daughter named Mary Sofie, born September 16,1991," and the family finished building a new post and-beam house in Landgrove, Vt., over the summer. Amy and Karl Goetze live in Burlington, Vt., where Amy works at Seventh Generation, a mail-order company that sells environment-friendly products. Karl, for his part, works for the Vermont Country Cyclers bike-touring company and makes a 70-mile round-trip commute on his bike daily. This keeps his legs in shape for playing the bass drum and the high hat in a Burlington band called Crawdaddy.

On the western slopes is TerryDelli Quadri, who lives in Steamboat, Colo., skiing, telemarking, kayaking, mountain biking, you name it. Steve Prentice is in Peck, Idaho, building a post-and-beam house of his own after helping Tove and Jon finish theirs.

Now that you know where some people are that you can look up, let's get you equipped. Need boots? Kirsti Wilson is working for Tecnica ski boot company, albeit marketing their hiking boots. Last winter Kirsti dislocated her hip while cliff-jumping in Utah. Perhaps someday Lisa Thomas or Ed Merrens will fix such leisure injuries—Lisa is a student at Vermont Med School, and Ed's back in Hanover at our own fine facility while his wife, Peggy '87, attends Vermont Law.

Contact Eva Pfosi for skis. She works for the Olin company in Stowe, and, according to Amy and Tove, "the last we heard, she's married and has two kids, Emily and Ottis."

If you get hurt and decide to sue the ski resort, call Julia Fulwyler, who spent some time in Juneau, Alaska, on an internship for the Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund while attending law school at Cal-Berkeley. If you decide to open your own resort, perhaps MichDupre could help, as she's getting her master's in environmental engineering at Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh.

The last bits of news from Amy and Tove's letter are non-skiing related. Clay Corbus got married last summer in Maine to Elizabeth Hodder, whose sister Sarah is a former journalism colleague of mine. And HeidiStowell Nichols and her husband, Rich Nichols '89, have moved to Lincoln, Mass., and had a baby girl September 2.

Speaking of the Boston area, word came that Ed Landers has been made an associate at the law firm of Sherburne, Powers & Needham. Ed went to law school at Boston College. Also, got a copy of a neat article on Mark Kelsey, who's working as a research associate with Pyramid Research Co. in Cambridge, Mass. It took some patience, persistence, and roundabout interviewing, but Mark now uses his Russian courses to evaluate the telecommunications market in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet States.

If Mark's in Prague anytime soon (and it's certainly been too long between Czechoslovakia mentions in this column), he may hear Bob Baxter on the radio station Europe 2. For the last year Bob has been the program coordinator and a DJ for the station, and he recently appeared on a European MTV special featuring Europe's best DJs. "I hope this means I'm now your 'favorite European DJ.' Sorry, Chris Terfloth," Bob said. Perhaps at reunion we could have a DJ competition between the two mixmasters. How 'bout it fellas?
