1980

Emily Lisburger Vitale lives in New York with her husband, Tom. In addition to teaching sewing to welfare mothers, she operates her own business, Etc. & M, which makes “funky” children’s clothing and accessories. The Vitales have two daughters, Caroline 4 and Margot 2, who are applying to the New York City preschools. The admissions process is highly competitive. Caroline and Margot recently completed their PSAT’s (pre-school standard achievement tests).

Greg Hartman recently wrote me to solic- it a contribution for Friends of Dartmouth Tennis. I countered by requesting news for this column. Greg then offered to withdraw his solicitation if I would leave him alone. However, I did manage to squeeze the fol- lowing out of him. After cutting his teeth in Morgan Stanley’s real estate department, Greg joined two partners to establish Milestone Partners Limited, a real-estate investment- banking firm in Los Angeles. Greg and his wife, Sally, have three kids, Matt 6, Jessica 4, and Danny 2.

Ty Burr writes a column for Entertainment Weekly in which he reviews current movies. Ty can also be spotted sharing picks and pans on cable channel “New York One.”

Meg Van Dom Pillsbury and Tim Pills- bury live in Hanover with their four chil- dren, who range in age from nine months to eight years. Meg and Tim are born-again Christians. In answer to their religious call- ing, they have elected to “home school” their children—to teach them at home. Accord- ing to Meg, the hardest part is not math and reading, but imparting moral values. Tim has his own electrical-engineering consulting practice.

Sam Walker recently joined Apex Data Corp. Sam was spotted at midnight in the Wal- dorf Astoria, toting a laptop. My source could provide few other details.

Scott Osman, photographer turned veture capitalist, has six start-ups cooking in his ven- ture oven. These include a magazine and a fashion company. Scott’s niche is bringing products and services to market using little start-up capital. Look for him on after-hours television selling his new tome, Wealth With-out Capital.

Bruce Reeves lives in Larchmont, N.Y., and sells taxable bonds for Merrill Lynch. He and his wife have an 18-month-old son, Billy, and a three-month-old golden retriever, Poppy. Bruce says Billy is far better behaved than Poppy, lending support to the theory that owning a dog is good practice for having kids. Bruce reports that Dennis Roy is a stockbroker at Shearson Lehman, Smith Barney in San Francisco. D-Roy, who lives in Mill Valley, is “starting to corral some big elephants.” I am not sure what that means, but I think it’s positive.

David Greer, who teaches mathematics at Kimball Union Academy in New Hampshire, wrote in response to my recent column on Freshman Year. David (and, I’m sure, others) felt that my column did not reflect their expe- riences. He suggests that I should have sub- stituted “What did we gain from all the dys- functional social behavior that we so eagerly pursued after our own fashion?” for “What did we gain from all the zaniness?” Certain- ly, my own experience was not reflective of eveiyone’s or even of most. These were sim- ply my impressions. I encourage all of you, especially those who view things somewhat differently from me, to share your views. Mike and I will be delighted to pass them on.

In other news, Lee Limbach and RoyJohnson are moving to Hong Kong. LindaWilliams has married John Hugo ’7B. AnneMunves, who works in fundraising at the college, is engaged to be married to David Malenko, a cardiologist at Dartmouth Med- ical Center. Bart and Barbara Littlefield are proud parents of a daughter, Margo, who joins her brother Rex. And I am outta here.
