1992

I'm writing this to procrastinate packing for my return to Boston (back to the home of the Red Sox!). Look me up if you're ever in Beantown—my apartment is close to both the airport and the train station. It was definitely sad to leave the Upper Valley again, but not nearly as sad as it was to leave back in June 1992.1 will miss die beautiful summers up there, but I'm looking forward to having a nightlife again.

An article in a newspaper out of Wilmette, 111., announced that Tara Smith joined the faculty of Lake Forest Academy as an English teacher in September 1993.

Lali Otterness left her job at Liz Claiborne in New York City and returned home to Colorado.

Ken Amaditz sent a long letter from Arlington, Va., where he works in the Office of Solid Waste at the E.P.A., spending his time writing regulations and policy for hazardous- waste issues. Ken lives with TomHenry, who is an environmental consultant at Environ, and Gary Rovner, who's in law school at George Washington. Ken reports that Jon Rettman attends the Oregon Health Sciences Med School and Thies Kolln is doing well at the University of Chicago Law School, where he made the Law Review. Linsley Craig works in development for Jubilee Housing (low-income housing) and lives in Arlington.
