It's hard to believe that it's been over a year since we graduated! I've really enjoyed keeping everyone up to date on the exciting things that '91s are doing, but I'd love to hear from more of you. People are involved in a variety of unusual activities both in and out of the working world.

As if Dan Bryant weren't busy enough with his job at Kidder Peabody in Chicago, he's been putting in overtime at the Chicago Street Project, which he co-founded this past fall. It's a community service organization which provides an outlet for recent graduates to participate in the kind of volunteer work many of us were involved in during our college years.

Richie Graham has quite an unusual job he's the coach of the Virgin Island's Men's Olympic Ski Team, a title which seems to be a contradiction in terms. Although the Winter Olympics in Albertville concluded months ago, I figured I'd share this news with you while we're getting psyched up for Barcelona. Richie trains with the team on the beaches (rough life!) as well as on the slopes in Colorado and Vermont, when he's not working for Campbell Design Group, an architectural firm.

Allison Lynn was working in New York City at Harper's Bazaar, but in March she accepted a job offer to be a reporter for People magazine. She's living with JoannaStevenson, who is in the management associate program at Citibank, and Linda Chung, who is paralegaling at Skadden, Arps. RebecaCrichton will be going to Yale Medical School, but she took some time off to visit CarolynWatt in Thailand, where Carolyn is teaching English (and French) at a college.

Congratulations are in order to Jeff Whyte and Gail Garron, who got engaged in March. Both are living in Boston, where Gail works as an environmental analyst for the Massachusetts Department of Public Health in the Bureau of Environmental Health Assessment (whew!). Jeff is working as a lab technician in the cryobiology division of Charles River Laboratories while he awaits replies from medical schools.

Second Lieutenant Jennifer Silver wrote from the Public Affairs Office in Fort Bliss, Texas, that she resigned her commission in January and is headed out to the Berkeley/San Fransisco area, where she hopes to find a job which will help her pay back her ROTC scholarship. She was very excited about leaving the dusty wasteland and rejoining civilian society.

Maggie Lord has been in Japan for the last six months teaching English. She reports that Tokyo is a very exciting place to live, and the job market is still growing there, so there are lots of job opportunities available.

Bari Anhalt just completed her first year of graduate study in the political science department at Stanford. She writes, "after one year here, I can safely say that all those who chose Dartmouth over Stanford for undergraduate study made the right choice." (We all knew that anyway!) As for Stanford's intellectual environment? "It seems much less intense than Dartmouth's—so there, President Freedman!" Carrie Garrow is doing well at the Law School, and Odie Harris is also out at Stanford, plugging away at the Medical School. While Missy Robbins was out at Stanford interviewing at the Medical School, she and Bari visited newlyweds Steve and Amy Burton Forrest. Steve is working towards a Ph.D. in die Geology Department at Stanford, and Amy works at a real-estate firm in Menlo Park. Kathy Murphy is also studying geology, at the University of Wyoming at Laramie. Bari reported that Suzy King and PaulaGirourard are both teaching, in Boston and Houston, respectively.

I just returned to the East Coast after a year of graduate study at the University of Chicago Divinity School. So please note my change in address when you write to tell me news about yourself and other '91s.
