There is news from both coasts this month. Amanda Green is fundraising for I a performing-arts council in Orange County, Calif. If anyone can bring the arts to Orange County, it will be Amanda. Greg Payne is the general counsel of D.I.C. Enterprises in Los Angeles, an outfit that produces cartoons. My informants say that Greg has a car phone, "does lunch" at the right places, and seems unusually animated.

Amy Gillenson's plans to move to Baltimore (reported last month) are on hold. Amy was hired as political director for the re-election campaign of New York's lieutenant governor. Amy will be based in New York City for the duration of the campaign. Rich Nichols has been appointed an assistant district attorney in San Francisco and was married last year. Congratulations to Rich and best wishes to spouse Jenny.

Dave Jaworski is living in Storrs, Conn., and practicing medicine in a rural clinic in the eastern part of the state. He calls it "the Little Clinic in the Middle of Nowhere." (My guess is that Dr. Jaworski has not visited Alaska.) Ski's spouse, Maggie McCarthy, teaches special education. Their two sons are growing up fast. Andrew is in fourth grade and is "into X-Men comics and soccer. Stephen, almost six, has begun to play the cello and basically worships his big brother."

I Gary Love was nominated by the Alumni Council as one of the three candidates for an alumni Trustee position. This is just the latest of Gary's many honors and accomplishments. By the time this column appears, the voting will be over. I hope that all of you voted "often and early" for our hard-working classmate.

Foreign news: Gordon H. Miles is one of the College's quasi-official "International Contacts." Gordie lives in Winnipeg, and, as a bona fide Canadian, does not count as an expatriate. Paul Lacke a real expatriate, owns a successful language school in an "entertainment district" in Tokyo. Paul's first apartment in Tokyo was so small he had to sleep diagonally. Paul is now married, with two kids, and has found slightly larger quarters. Globe-trotting Mike and Susan Chiarella spent our winter (their summer) on New Zealand's Coromandel Peninsula with their nine-year-old son.

Jerry Daly, our class president, is teaching at a private school in Massachusetts. Jerry reports that the class scholarship fund has reached 60 percent of our $30,000 goal. Also in the fundraising arena, give a rouse for K. Brewer Doran's parents, Marjorie and Benedict Doran '37, who established trusts to benefit the College health service and the field hockey fund. As some of you know, Brewer was the first captain of a women's intercollegiate team at Dartmouth. The Alumni Fund asks that all of us follow the Dorans example and send checks. All you have to do is sign them; the College is happy to fill in the numbers.

Thanks again to all who sent in news this month but I need more! If you have news of yourself or anyone else please fax it to me at (907) 586-3777, or give me a call at (907) 586-4000.
