1990

Our Fifth Reunion is a distant but fond memory, but I can still conjure up the clean scent of the Green at midnight. What a contrast to the recirculated air in my office tower! On behalf of all who attended, I'd like to thank Cheryl Loeffler-Shepard and all others who contributed to carrying off our first reunion weekend so smoothly. It was a thrill hearing the words "foofy" and "random" spoken without explanation, tasting fresh Vermont maple syrup while sitting almost in Vermont, and listening to the Aires serenade us at breakfast by the river.

Stephen Kong now lives in Chicago where he is the director of advertising for Chicago Social, an upscale paper founded and published by brother Michael '87. I had to fight the urge to purchase ad space myself as I listened to Steve describe the publication as "a hip paper that covers the high-profile, fun, fashionable crowd without snob appeal." Steve earned an M.A. in classics from the University of California-Santa Barbara in 1993. He sends word that Mark Yeh has completed his studies at Duke Medical School and that Jehanna Peerzada has finished her third year at Dartmouth Med.

Due to late-breaking news, Kyle Blood gets mentioned two months running. Kyle is currently a researcher/reporter at Forbes Magazine for Malcolm S. Forbes Jr. (or Steve, as he is better known) and Caspar Weinberger. Recently Forbes announced that Malcom Jr. is contemplating a run for President in '96. Ever ready for a new adventure, Kyle said that if his boss runs, he intends to join his campaign.

Kim Lewis has already made her big career leap. Last July she left the Boston office of Little, Brown children's book publishing to teach English to tenth and 11th-graders at Kimball Union Academy. She'll also be coaching field hockey and skiing at the school, which is only 20 minutes from Hanover, in Meriden, N.H.

Jessica Silver Hayden is happily unemployed in Rockville, Md., but hopes to be employed by the time this issue is published. She sends word that Jennifer Goldberg is living in Baltimore and began her clinical studies in acupuncture school last August, her first opportunity to conduct client/patient treatments.

I look forward to printing news from a wide variety of our classmates. So please send notes or call me.
