1987

Greetings to all, and welcome back to the academic year of 1992-3. Isn't it funny how every year when September rolls around you find yourself wishing you could buy a new notebook and kick some leaves around walking home from school? I wonder if we ever escape from that subconscious school schedule.

Our Fifth Reunion was a fabulous success, thanks to the work of chair Matt McIlwain and a terrific team. From Thursday at Moosilauke to the Sunday morning SK, everything was well-planned and executed. In addition, we broke the Alumni Fund Fifth Reunion record by pledging over $1OO,OOO, beating the record held previously by the class of '86. Many thanks to outgoing President Wendy Becker Mountain, and congratulations to our new president, Ginny Wise!

Fine Class Secretary Emeritus GreggRippey has passed on information from those classmates who were unable to make the pilgrimage to Hanover in June. Since graduation, Jennine Shohan Pommier has been working in international work camps sponsored by the Tucker Foundation, and there met her husband, Laurent.

After traveling around the world, they will settle in Washington, D.C., where Jennine will work on a master's degree in international affairs at American University's School for International Service.

Two other doctor types have just purchased houses, entering that" land of lawns and puttering weekends. Christian FoleyKollmorgen and her husband, Tom '88, now live in Rochester, Minn.; and Sara Dann Cina and husband Steve settled in Charleston, S.C. Although a bit overdue, I'm happy to announce the marriage of Susan Olson to Todd Pellett 80, which took place last August in Omaha, Neb. Classmates Betsy Park, LynnMahoney, and Jenn Tisdel were there to cheer her on. Happy first anniversary, Susie.
