1986

Life is a riddle. And unfortunately, the answer isn't written on the back of anything. saying on recentlyreceived "Ziggy" card I received quite a special note from Heather Goss and T.G. Ricker. It was a wonderful tale about a boy and a girl how they met, fell in love, and got married. Here are parts of it recounted: "Boy falls in love with girl during girl's visit to California from Ontario, Canada. One and a half years of courting have taken place long distance .. ..Boy asks girl to marry him the day before Thanksgiving 1993, on one knee of course ...Boy and girl get married, December 30, 1993 (Scott Rabschnuk attends). Boy and girl both get jobs and celebrate in the knowledge that their dual incomes will pay the bills." By the way, the letter was copyrighted by Ricker Enterprises.

Beth Russo Graham has written to say that she and her husband, Paul '84, had a baby boy in March of 1993. The two are finding parenting a thrill, and Beth will soon return to her job with the Nynex Science and Technology group on a parttime basis. John Clark and Jeanne Morriello Clark have also been blessed with a baby boy, born in February of 1994. Jeanne will take a half-year leave of absence from her job at Raytheon in Massachusetts. John will continue his job at Information Resources after a short paternity leave.

L.J. Briggs writes that he will graduate from University of Connecticut Medical School in 1995 and will finally hit the real world ten years after graduation. He asks all of us for our forgiveness as he has been dating a woman from Harvard. L.J. is still an active runner and is considering competing in the Olympic marathon trials for 1996. David Leitao has finished his Ph.D. in classics at Ohio State University.

More news from Andrew Getraer. I previously reported that Andrew and his wife, Jean '89, were celebrating the arrival of their son. However, Andrew has filled in a few details: "Big year for us: my wife, Jean, and I had our first child, Sandy Jonathan Robertson Getraer. His middle name is for our classmate JonathanDaniels. We also bought a house, moving from Back Bay Boston to the suburbs of Wellesley, Mass.

Recently visited by classmate Brian Dunham, who's loving his second year at Vanderbilt Medical School in Nashville. Debbie McCollum Colon and husband John '82, had a baby boy named David in July.
