Kasie Nolan was named legislative assistant to Del. George Grayson (D) from the 97th district in Virginia. Brooks Preston spent last year teaching science in Colorado's Rocky Mountains, where he also got in some key ski time on the side. During the past couple summers he worked as a planning consultant for the Bureau of Land Management in Fairbanks, Alaska. His job took him to the Brooks Range where, he says, "I've always had a certain calling." He's now exchanged his. 375 anti-grizzly rifle, which he never used anyway, for a briefcase, and headed for Washington, D.C. "I'm told Washington is an exciting place to be. I might find the gun more useful [there]." Right now he says he wishes he were originally from Arkansas. Yep, that would undoubtedly help.

Teaching part of an innovative language course is Karen Heinzmann. She's at Thetford Academy, Thetford, Vt., working as a French teacher in a class entitled, "Introduction to Language," a requirement for all seventh-graders. The course uses written work, play acting, and drills first in Latin and then moving on to other languages to teach students how languages work. Guest speakers teach the students about still more languages, countries, and cultures.

From New Haven, Conn., comes MichaelReynolds, who says there are about ten Dartmouth people in his first-year Yale Law School class of 190 (not a bad ratio, huh?). Two other members of our class are at Yale Law Andrew Latimer and Rali PulisWakeman.

I recently spoke to Liz Amlicke, who is living in San Francisco and working for Applause as its international marketing coordinator. Her company manufactures staffed animals licensed by companies like Disney, Sesame Street, and Looney Toons. She works with wholesale distributors in Europe on such things as product merchandising and in-store displays. Her boyfriend, Jim Bahrenburg '87, works for Disney Corp.

Amy Wright was recently married to Brown '9O Ed Batista. Chris Jacobson is working for McKinsey Consulting in D.C. John Pak is in his third year at Cornell Law.

Brian Bohlig is also part of the San Francisco contingent. He's working at Montgomery Securities, an investment bank, in corporate finance. He deals mostly with emerging growth companies, doing mergers and acquisitions, and other investment banking stuff.

Clara Lee is working at North Face in Berkeley, Calif., in the graphic design department. She produces, among other things, those "hang tags" the factory attaches to clothing. So next time you buy one of North Face's sleeping bags or backpacks, make sure you take extra note of Clara's handiwork.

Dave Wilson, working in management consulting in Mountain View, Calif., had a huge Halloween party in Los Altos. Seen at said party were Rob Uhrig, a financial analyst for Otis Spunkmeyer cookies, Rob Norris,Tom Haines (who's at Berkeley journalism school and came dressed as "PC. Person"), Monica Davis, and Matt Schmidt.

Additional news from the West Coast: SeanPage works as a sales representative. KyleDavis works at the Wells Fargo bank. RonFaith is working for Apple Computer. ScottPaterson is an engineer at Novell, another computer products company. Karen Hartwig is at the Haas School of Business. Bill Gaylord is now training in Colorado for next year's Winter Olympics. He competed for the British team in giant slalom in last year's Olympics.

Finally, back east, Joselyn Newcomb is at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public Policy at Princeton.
