1988

As the holiday season approaches. I’m sure many of us are remembering those Hanover Christmases and the tree on the Green. From the mail I’ve been receiving, it appears that our classmates are experiencing the holidays all over the U.S. and abroad this year.

From California I get greetings from RickOtto, who tells me that he is living in the Bay Area and has been working at Levi Strauss & Co. in product management. Rick is also keeping busy marathoning. He finished the San Francisco Marathon on July 18 at 3:46. Nice going, Rick! He sends news of numer- ous classmates including Meredith Larson, who is working in San Francisco as a coun- selor at the Larkin Street Youth Center for the homeless and runaway youths, and KateHaffher, who is working for Oracle Soft- ware in Redwood City.

Rick reports that Ruth Heintz finished her first year at Boalt Hall Law School and worked this summer at the Legal Aid Soci- ety of Alameda County. Ruth also doubles as a “grade-A baker of scones at the Bakeshop in Berkeley.” Also in Berkeley is Rick Wood, who is also a “super baker” and is in the mid- dle of his Ph.D. studies in Slavic linguistics. Cece Jablow Bloomfield is working at the EPA’s office in San Francisco in the Air and Toxics Division, implementing the Clean Air Act; and Tom Bloomfield is working hard in the environmental and land use divi- sion of the law firm of Morrison and Foer- ster. Rick also sends news of his roommate Jeff Wutzke, who finished his master’s in environmental policy at Cal in May and is finishing up government-funded research on the California spotted owl.

Not limiting his interest to the West Coast, Rick sends news of the non-California Dart- mouth crowd. Trip Sargent is in Boulder, Colo., getting an M.S. degree from the Uni- versity of Colorado, and he plans to teach high- school science. In his spare time Trip works with the Rocky Mountain Rescue Group. He says “we do everything they do in ‘Cliffhang- er’ but we do it sensibly.” Shekhar Sane got married, and he and his wife will be living in the Twin Cities for at least five more years while he does his residency. And Dave Youk-er is “in between jobs,” working with a telecommunications company in Chicago and filling in the time windsurfing in the Colum- bia River Gorge—nice balance, Dave!

More news came via the Patriot League Sports News Media Release. Timothy D. Downes of Cockeysville, Md., has been appointed assistant executive director for Championships and Compliance. Tim will assist the Patriot League executive director with compliance and will organize a confer- ence-wide education program which will dis- seminate information from the NCAA to the membership through written materials, con- ferences, and seminars. Tim gothisJ.D. after Dartmouth at Washington & Lee, where he coached men’s lacrosse and worked in com- pliance at the University of Maryland.

Finally, Sue Breen, who is studying for her master’s in teaching at Boston University, will be accepting a teaching position in Lyn- nfield. Sue coaches basketball and has served as a substitute teacher at Arlington High this past school year.

Keep die news coming folks and have a happy holiday.
