1985

Hi. First let me dispense with my secretarial duties (and get Jeff Weitzman off my back) by letting you all know that we've got a class Reunion coming up this June 14-16. Our 11th Reunion, actually though we're all going to pretend it's our tenth. So be excited, be very, very excited. It actually does sound like it's going to be fun, particularly since the tenth Reunion (we're pretending, remember?) is "traditionally the largest class reunion," or at least so Teff tells me.

The reunion committee has been set, but it sounds like there's a lot to do, so if you're feeling civic-minded give Jeff abuzz at (212) 692-7867. My pal and fellow slacker/erratic-Class-Notes-editor Rick joyce has signed himself up as VP of "Family Activities." Careful, Rick, are you sure you're ready to take on more responsibility? Also, our Reunion committee is trying to come up with a catchy logo/slogan for our Reunion. Current candidates: "'85 still alive," "T.E.N.—Temporary Excuse to go Nuts," and "Dart-trekthe blood's still green" (following a Star Trek motif, I kid you not). We need input, people! Should you be digitally surfing, you can check out graphics for some of these ideas at

Now that we've got that out of the way—news from your classmates has been sparse of late. But here's what I've got:

Amy Brout got married at the beginning of September to Robert McHugh. Amy's working in San Francisco as the western regional sales manager for the Loan Pricing Corp., a financial information company. Her husband is a business development manager for the Computer Curriculum Corp., an educational software publisher.

Margaret Warram Marder and DavidMarder live in Sharon, Mass., and are expecting their third child. Dave works for Hale and Dorr in Boston.

James Evans has just got a cool new job working in record promotions for Interscope Records. Though he's shuttling between L.A. and Chicago right now, James plans on moving out to the West Coast by April of next year to focus fully on his work out here.

Bridget Clark, whose continuing climb up the Gap corporate ladder is proceeding at record pace, is playing "groupie" on the weekends to significant-other Brady Reimer's band From Good Homes. Brady's band just received a record contract with RCA and is currently touring the country promoting its first album titled, Hick Pop—Comin' at Ya. These guys are cool, so go buy their CD at your local record store. And then buy one for a friend.

In related news, this column's "pet band" (sorry, Brady, but they got to us first) Distant Cousins has completed a new CD called Love Life. Kat Dail is looking for a record contract (hello, James?) and playing various gigs in the Village. If you want to order a CD you can write her at 24 Fifth Ave., #1629, NY, NY.

And finally I just want to say: not guilty? Yeah, right. Have a good one.
