1993

After the winter that wouldn't quit, what else should follow but the summer that came early and stayed. I don't think anyone is complaining. In case you missed the newsletter, I'm looking for responses to the all-too-common statement," Whoah I never expected to be here..." or anything else about which you wish to talk. It doesn't really have to be news—just mail me a letter.

From my steady Far Eastern connection, Doug Chia comes a report on all those folks on the other side of the world. John Notz is working for Motorola in Tianjin, forcing beepers and car and cellular phones on the unsuspecting. Evidently it is quite a status symbol to own a beeper with a screen large enough to display Chinese characters. Lynn Rainville biked around and about in China, scoping out cemeteries and other old stuff, and is now headed to the University of Mchigan in Ann Arbor for a Ph.D. Doug is finding it more difficult to leave China than he had anticipated and is likely to face an even ruder culture shock after he enrolls at Georgetown law. "Life is good here. Life is hard at law school!"

Back in February Brent Schindele made his way into the front section of the Washington Post. It seems that the mailbox across the street from his abode was the one CIA stooge Aldrich Ames transformed into a "spy mailbox. "I used to mail love letters from here at 4 a.m.—do you think I was being watched?" Brent, probably not, unless your love letters are infinitely more impressive than mine.

"First of all. I'm living up in gorgeous Marin County, Calif, (yes, we do have a hot tub!)," writes Beth Fagan, who recently landed a job with San Francisco's CBS affiliate KPIX. She's been hanging out with Paula Zahn and the station's sports anchor, Dan Fouts. Beth and Colin Tong have continued writing, recording, and performing their original music, waiting for their big break. "I hope that other '93s have continued to paint, act, write, and entertain amidst the demands of real life. It's an endurance contest, but, who knows?"

Liz O'Hara and Anne-Corinne Kell '92 visited Sally Huntoon in San Antonio, where she is attending med school. They liked everything about their visit except the photo at Sally's apartment that shows Sally next to her cadaver. While in San Antonio they caught up with Mike Vitalli who is an account manager in a market-research firm. Together, Liz and Anne-Corinne also went on a graduate-school search in Hawaii, renowned for its impressive academic setting.

After a year at U-Conn Law, HeatherGunas, Karen Febeo, and Nicole Hazard are gearing up for round two. "Old habits die hard...lt's Theta all over again for Karen-she's already a Student Bar Association rep., and Heather has joined a hiking club, but complains that the Berkshires won't replace Moosilauke." After a summer of research on feminist legal theory and family law, Nicole is ready to rejoin Heather at their favorite pastime, "conceiving new pejorative terms to describe law school."

I hat's all the news from here. Keep it rolling—even if it's not all news fit to print, I'll go ahead and print it anyway. Enjoy the rest of the summer, and start thinking about Homecoming.
