1988

The penultimate column in my half-decade of class prose begins in the best possible fashion with a letter. Jeff Wutzke is the author, and, as many of us will, he saved his best line for the postscript: "I look forward to seeing everyone at Reunion in June, and I hope we break every record for attendance and fundraising." By now you've certainly received plenty of mailings; there's still time to sign up if you've been wavering.

Back to Jeff, who should be winding up his master's program in environmental policy at Berkeley about now. Earlier this year the program provided Jeff a close encounter with one of the names on our diplomas. When Jeff's environmental law professor strolled into class one day wearing a green blazer, green-striped oxford shirt, and green bow tie, Jeff said, "You look like a man of Dartmouth today. "Jeff was stunned to find out that the man who until then had been Professor Mike Heyman was in fact Ira Michael Heyman '51, soon to step down as chairman of Dartmouth's Board of Trustees. "Talk about a piece of information to make you sit up and take notes in class!" Jeff writes. "Fortunately, I love the subject, so I don't have to worry about feigning interest."

Jeff hangs out with Rick Wood, who's in the Slavic Department at Berkeley, and Rick's roommate Ruth Heintz, a freshman-trip mate of mine who is finishing her second year at Boalt Hall. Jeff also heard from Nick Nobili a while back. Nick married Moira Teevens '87 last November, and the couple honeymooned in Fiji and New Zealand. As if the jump into married life weren't enough, Nick and Moira went bungee-jumping on (off?) the South Island of New Zealand as part of their post- nuptial bliss. Jeff also reports that CindyKorzelius has moved from Boston to Balti- more, where she's in med school at Johns Hopkins.

Also in academia, but on the teaching end, are Holly Krueger, who's teaching at Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, N.H., and pitching in with the school's crew and equestrian ac- tivities, and Rob Hollister, who punted a management consultant job to teach European history and AP economics at the Middlesex School in Concord, Mass. Rob was mentioned in a Boston Globe article last fall about executives finding happiness in teaching despite the obligatory pay cut. "Even though I make less, I work much, much harder as a teacher than I did as a consultant," Rob told the Globe.

Kudos to Max Saenger, who competed on the U.S. biathlon team at the World University Games in Zakopane, Poland, in February. The team also competed in the first international sporting event hosted by Slovakia before they went to Poland; according to a press release, much of the U.S. team for the '94 Winter Olympics will likely come from the University Games group, so Max may be on the way to giving the class of '88 yet another Olympian.

In other press-release news, Len Bazelak made the moot court regional team at the University of Dayton Law School and competed this spring. Camy Vazifdar was named an account supervisor at KCS&A Public Relations in New York. And Kelly Kyriakos won the free reunion ticket for submitting the best entry for the Top 10 Reasons to Attend Reunion List. But you'll have to come to reunion to find out what they were. How's that for incentive?
