1989

OK, it's getting to the point where I'm going to have to indulge in wild, unsubstantiated rumor in order to fill up this column. Nobody, and I mean nobody, is giving me information about their professional or procreational or romantic accomplishments.

I do, however, have one recourse: outright theft from other publications! I saw in a recent issue of the Dartmouth Medical School magazine that Kristin Pisacano and Dave Gazzaniga are now practicing physicians in Boston. Kristin is at St. Elizabeth's Hospital, while Dave is at Massachusetts General. Any of us who experience medical difficulties in the Boston area will know that we are in capable, Dartmouth-educated hands.

I also have some tidbits that are stolen from hometown newspapers around the country, generously forwarded to me by HeatherKillebrew. (Heather, in case you've forgotten, serves as this magazine's alumni notes editor, photo editor, crisis manager, etc.)

Toiling in the world of gray suits and 80-hour work weeks are Anne Moellering and Ethan Spencer. Anne got her M.B.A. from Stanford and has taken a job as a consultant with the San Francisco office of Bain & Co. Ethan got his M.BA. from the Kellogg School at Northwestern and is now working with Boston Consulting Group in Boston.

Chris Drew recently got promoted to manager of market analysis for Burnham Corp., which I think is located in the New York area. Previously, Chris was a sales representative for the company.

On the legal front, Peter Kong has joined the California law firm of Hatch & Parent as an associate attorney. Peter got his law degree from Georgetown and works on corporate, tax, and real-estate matters for the firm. CarlWalker works for the Newark law firm of Robinson, St. John & Wayne and lives in Chatham, N.J. Carl recently got transferred to the New York City office, which means a hellacious commute of nearly an hour-and-a-half each way. This cuts seriously into his golf time, which perhaps explains why Carl's scores have yet to dip below 100.

There is a huge contingent of M.B.A. candidates from our class at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. I talked to Ted Young not too long ago, who is cracking the books along with Lionel Harris,Dave Irwin, Dave Foulke, Mike Hill, and Erik Moore. Ted reports that he has subsisted on take-out food since graduating from Dartmouth.

Did anybody notice that everybody mentioned in this column is in law, business, or medicine (Heather K. excluded)? This could mean that all of you teachers, artisans, writers, and social workers are just too modest to report your achievements. Snap out of it.

Wait—a last-minute news flash. On the day before this column was due, I received An Actual Letter (a form letter, but a letter nonetheless). It's from none other than my '89 Class Notes predecessor, the multi-talented and somewhat kooky Carrie Lufit. She didn't specifically say I could use this information in the column, but then again, she didn't say I couldn't. (She was known to engage in the same sort of behavior during her tenure.) Carrie has decided to leave The Playwrights' Collective, a non-profit New York theater company, and is now planning to produce her own play, Crooked House, in 1995. I believe the operative term is "lowbudget"—which means Carrie can use all the financial help she can get. With any luck, some of her well-heeled classmates will see the play as a worthy cause.
