1983

Hey, Ho! Let's go! Rack 'em up, folks. We're three months away from our Tenth Reunion, scheduled for (make a note of this, please) June 18-20. According to the 1993 Farmer's Almanac, Hanover will be sunny and warm that weekend. Please make your plans to attend if you haven't already. It's my understanding that Quechee is already jammed to the rafters with '83s and several score of rug rats.

Brian Kelly has a few news nuggets he wants to share. He and wife Bette Jeanne escorted their first child, John Terence, into the world last November. Brian, Bettejeanne, and John T. then packed up in San Diego and returned to Boston, where Brian works as a federal prosecutor in the Organized Crime Division of the Boston U.S. Attorney's Office. Bette Jeanne (can't help but think instantly of the "Andy Griffin Show" when I type that name) is a nurse at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, which we all know is taking good care of Paul Tsongas '62. This re-migration concept from Southern California to Boston, I believe, was pioneered several babies ago by Kathy and Mike Coster. Actually, the family Coster took it to an extreme by going all the way to Maine. "Maine, Maine," sang Mike in his sweet fraternity-smooth soprano, "Maine on the brain..." But back to the Kellys: they're living in Westwood, Mass.

I knew that picking on Bruce Andrus several months ago would yield results. Yessss! Bruce has nobly challenged me to "a contest of immature, crass, and low-brow behavior." The only caveat is that it can't be in front of his two children. Hypocrite. At any rate, Bruce has seen Glenn Eddy, who is coaching mogul skiers at Sugarloaf, running a freestyle camp every July in British Columbia, kayaking murderous rivers throughout Maine, promulgating liberalism wherever he goes, and occasionally practicing law in Auburn, Maine. Oh, hi, Glenn. Talk to me when you've climbed Everest barefoot with Slim Jims as your only food supply. Jim Slaby is back in Boston after several years of new-music famine in southern Florida; he's now working in "some aspect" of the computer/communication field. Actually, Bruce has no idea what that last sentence means and neither do I. And... lookie here! MichaelSantana is rumored to be in L.A. heading for a graduate degree in architecture. Boy, it's great to type Mr. Santana's name. Been a long time. All I need now is for Russ Gibson, TomOsterhuis JeffMyer, Fran Manning, and a few other Russell Sage types to surface, and we'll really be rolling. Davies Beller, too. Davies technically lived down in the River Cluster, but moved in 204 Russell Sage "'cuz it's more convenient, man." We used to argue about who invited Davies into the dorm in the first place. Nobody knew. He just showed up. And never left.

Back to Mr. Andrus for a final salvo. "Where in the wide, wide world is Brad Gessner? He owes me money." Settle it at the reunion, gents.

Zounds! More news from Sharon RothFranks. Sharon completed her Ph.D. in oceanography in December. This, we trust, involved much more than swallowing goldfish in undergrad "Oceans" senior spring. Sharon is moving from the Pacific Northwest to San Diego. Her husband, Peter, is an assistant professor at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography in La Jolla.

Sharon and Peter married in Ohio last September.

In closing, a sincere word of Congrats and safe travels to Nick Roberts, who has for- saken the cutthroat world of advertising for a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Senegal, Africa. Nickbo, it sounds on all counts like the right thing to do. Godspeed, buddy.
