Keeping the world safe from nuclear weapons, Sarah Jacobson worked at the Los Alamos National Laboratory last summer on a new Department of Energy training program. Next fall she will be sent as an independent consultant to Russia, Belarus, or Kazakhstan to help create laws to prevent the spread of nuclear materials and weapons.

I had a real hard time narrowing down Ron Aikens's submission. He supplied me with a blow-by-blow list of his activities since about June 11, 1990. My Reader's Digest version follows. Ron was married to Donna Harris on May 28, 1994. He graduated from Howard University Law School, where he met his wife and was the managing editor of the Howard Scroll (law review), in mid-May. At the time he wrote, Ron anticipated working for either the FCC, the Bureau of National Affairs, or the Marks & Murase law firm. Ron was Marvel Entertainment's (comics) first-ever legal assistant during one of his law-school summers. Contact him at: 4817 36th St. #208, Washington, DC 20008.

Karen Rahmeier '87 wrote in to say her sister, Laurie Rahmeier, is living in Portland, Ore., and working at ADP, "some big computer company." Apparently, Laurie was the first-ever employee there to transfer from a secretarial to a professional position. Plus, she was Employee of the Month in March. A hardware technician, she trouble-shoots computer hardware problems.

Very proud father Mark Sowa wrote in to say he and wife Emily had a beautiful baby girl, Katherine Leigh, on May 3. Mark's still working in New York City for Groundwater Technology.

Toi Blount Hightower "got married [to Charles "Ramel" Hightower], eloped to Orlando, Fla., actually" on July 14, and works at PBS station 13/WNET in New York City. She's with the New Media group there and is training to be a coordinating producer. Her group produces interactive and multimedia technology.

News from those who would have been Toi's wedding attendants: Shirley Menard graduated from law school and took the New York bar exam in July. Gwen Pointer earned a graduate degree from U-Penn and is working in New York. Toi wasn't sure what Gwen was doing, but says to look for her name in the future. Dawn Generals is married to Victor Smith '89 and was recently promoted at IBM. The Smiths have a daughter, Bianca.

She's a flex-benefits systems consultant who helps clients administer their health and welfare benefit plans. She's living in Stamford too. Kim Kluck recently moved to Philadelphia, where she is pursuing her M.B.A. at Wharton. Brian Gold, Sally Horton, and StevenBlack headed out to Grand Cayman for some scuba diving during the summer.
