1983

Last night I dreamed of Steve Honuneyer. A small boat pulled into the surf and out jumped Steve. He waved hello, and then made his way down the beach in search of other friends. As it happens, Dartmouth people often pop up in my dreams when I'm writing this column, but the odd thing about Steve's appearance is that I really didn't know him very well and certainly hadn't thought of him since college. Obviously, the nostalgic link is even weaker on his side. He never returned my call. From his answering machine, however, I am making the bold guess that Steve is a doctor living in Seattle with his wife, Sue, and son, Max.

I would have loved to ask Steve if he ever runs into Anne Albright, who also lives in Seattle. She's a public defender there. Husband Geoff Watson, whom she met when he was a housemate of Kathy Bowler and her sister Nancy '82, is a law professor.

Speaking of cities with waterfronts, architect Keith Moskow might one day be responsible for the look of San Francisco's. I happened to be flipping through the April issue of Architecture magazine (just kidding—The Alumni Office sends me xeroxes of these things, highlighted and all) when I saw that Keith had submitted one of the winning designs in a competition to redevelop 3.5 miles of abandoned S.F. piers. Keith, however, lives in Boston, and it was when directory assistance accidentally gave me twin brother Ken's number that I learned that Keith and Alison (nee Shutz '85) are the proud parents of a second son, Jacob William, born mid-May.

Those of you who pored over the catalogue for Christie's Barbara Streisand auction could hardly miss Peggy Gilges's name. As part of Christie's 20th-century decorative-arts department in New York, she was instrumental in pulling the whole shebang together. Peggy's been pretty busy in general this past year. She was married last June (a week after Reunion, which is why she didn't make it) to John Rabasa, director of a Manhattan gallery specializing in Latin American art, whom she met when they both worked at Sotheby's. They live in Greenwich, and Peggy reports occasional Wiley Collins sightings on the train into New York.

I was impressed enough to hear that JimMitchell was chairman of the Maine Democratic Party, but now he's running for one of Maine's two Congressional seats. Jim is the nephew of recently retired U.S. Senator George J. Mitchell, but as Jim told the Bangor Daily News, "I have to earn my way with the voters, like anyone else." Ever the politician, Jim.

It's not enough that Lynn Johnson married a twin—Peter Kidder— or that her best friend from high school is one. No, Lynn and Pete had to have twins of their own: Thomas MacDonald and Laura Hunnewell Kidder, born May 24 at the University of California at San Diego Medical Center, where Lynn is a resident in radiology. Since Lynn has her boards coming up, Pete decided to take some time off to take care of the kids. The only problem, Lynn reports, was finding a diaper bag that he was willing to be seen with in public.

I've been told that Roger Morrison and wife Beatrice also have twins, two-and-a-half-year-old boys, as well as a four-and-a-half-year-old girl. The no-doubt-very-busy Morrison famille calls Los Angeles home.

Twins, twins everywhere. (Anne Albright and Peggy Gilges are twins too.) Could this have something to do with the fact that my husband, Tom, and I welcomed our own pair, Catherine Michel and Amelia Jamison Rosch into the world on May 31 ? Nah.
