Thanks to Jon Murchinson for his guest appearance in last month's column! It was great to see Jon and everyone else who made it up to Homecoming in October, and catch up on the latest exciting endeavors of the '91 class.
Last summer saw the performance of one of Josh Rebell's original plays, Polly Parkerand the Lost Pile of Gold, at Bromley Mountain, Vt.

He has been a playwright with the company for four years, and this latest interactive, original, comic fable opened the annual Theatre for Kids season at the Bromley Mountain Base Lodge.

On the subject of writing: Kara Skruck pursued a career in journalism following her years at The Dartmouth, and she spent a period of time working in Manhattan. Recently, she felt the need for a change in scene; "I left the crime, cruddy weather, and crazy pace of New York city to move to paradise—Aspen, Colo. Totally digging blue skies, no humidity, and laidback atmosphere. Thought.l'd do the waitressing thing for the summer, and then move somewhere else and do something a little more 'sensible.' But I fell in love with the Rocky Mountains and landed a job with Aspen Magazine! [She is associate editor.] Any '91s coming to ski this winter—look me up!"
Dave Cohen, now in his second year at Dartmouth Medical School, spent last summer in Arizona at the Tuba City Indian Medical Center. With the help of a Public Health Service pediatrician, Dave designed a program at this Navajo reservation hospital to promote health care. The intention was that through Arts for Prevent, children would use their original artwork incorporating "film stuff, video work, posters" as a vehicle, to raise awareness of injury- and disease-prevention within their community.
