1987

'I'd like to commence this month's column with my most sincere thanks to the '87s who took time out from the holidays to update me. I received not only great news but also some incredible samples of personal stationery—monogrammed, lined envelopes, the works. Beats napkins and crayons or ruled paper. Keep those letters coming!

Christen Fitzpatrick O'Connor wrote me a lengthy missive on life in Hanover. After "four years of survival training in the Silicon Valley rat race," Christen and husband Dan '88 moved back to the Upper Valley. She is working for Dartmouth Development and Alumni Affairs, while he toils in a Ph.D. program at the Thayer School. Christen is also busy as an advisor to Epsilon Kappa Theta (formerly Kappa Alpha Theta, newly moved into the renovated Delta Psi house). At Homecoming she spotted Sean Kersey, DaveFoster, and Scott Sodokoff. Christen also reported that she rotates a round-robin newsletter with Betsy Booth, Sally McColl, LauraGasser, and Allison Bleyler, who recently moved to Germany.

Sue Axelrod and Ed Emmanuel exchanged marriage vows in a seemingly unique event last September, in which the groom walked down the aisle on crutches and the nuptial couple rode in golf carts to stay off the wet ground. (Hmmm . . . sounds almost like a formal.) Lisa Pabich Damon and CherylMaier Walsh were members of the bridal party. Lisa resides with husband, Brace, in Urbana, I11., where she works for the university on a state grant doing environmental research and planning. News just in: Cheryl and John Walsh are the proud parents of a baby girl, who arrived in late December.

Rob Rosen married Betsy Morris in the fall. Rob earned his business degree at UCLA's Anderson School of Management. He and Betsy will set up house in Providence, where Rob works at the School House Candy Co.

Peter Young writes that he and wife Amy '90 escaped from Boston to Burlington, Vt., where he anticipates many days of skiing, as well as plenty of hours at his new law firm, Miller, Eggleston and Rosenberg.

Ellen O'Neil was the girl's cross-country coach at Central High School in Manchester, Mass. The Boston Globe featured Ellen's star team member, as well as giving a good plug for the Big Green. Ellen will return to Dartmouth this year as assistant cross-country and track and field coach.

Nancy Davis Lyness's skills span a wide range of interests. Besides finishing up law school and working in a law firm parttime, she is pursuing her artwork. A SoHo gallery exhibited some of her pieces last summer. Nancy also reported that Stevie Lossee (who now goes by "Stephanie") and her husband, "Tom, competed in the New York Marathon together last November, finishing in a combined time "comfortably within the single digits."

Evan Azriliant wrote in for the first time since graduation (a fact which should inspire many of you '87s who are still incommunicado!). Evan, who recendy graduated from law school, discovered to his delight that he passed the bar, and he was to be sworn in shortly. Living in New York City, he has been doing private consulting in commodities, taxes, etc.

Correction: Jennine Shohan has not been doing international workcamps since graduation, as I reported, but was regional manager at the Educational Foundation for Foreign Study in Cambridge, Mass., before quitting her job to travel around the world with husband Laurent. My apologies, Jennine. Till next we speak.
