1983

It's a good thing NancyBick was always the shy, retiring type, with not too many friends, otherwise I never would have gotten this column in on time. Nancy recently left her job at Microsoft in Seattle, where she met husband Dwight Krossa, who still works there. She's now a falltime mom to year-old Cody, whose real name is Robert Dakota. No significant meaning or family name, Montana-bred Nancy explains, "just the Westerner in me coming back to haunt me."

Nancy reports that Sue ThorntonDeNunzio gave birth to her second child, daughter Danielle, in December, and JackCampbell has added to his brood with a third child, Matthew Jackson Campbell. (Everyone seems to be having three these days.) PeterHussey, who lives in Seattle and worked with Nancy at Microsoft, also reports in with three with just a little bit of help from wife Winky Stearns '82. He still has time, however, to windsurf Columbia Gorge. It's just the first time round for Wade Welch and wife Susan, now back in L.A. and expecting a little bundle of joy in May.

But we're not through with Ms. Bick yet. She recently played hostess to her old roommate, Maureen Kane Berg, who's a lawyer in Birmingham, Ala. Maureen's husband, Tom, is a professor of law and religion. Roommate #2, Barb Angus, also ended up in the legal profession. She's practicing law at Kirland Ellis in Chicago and just completed her M.B.A. at night school.

Reed Webster is another Chicago-ite, newly so. He still works for Morgan Stanley and he still is forever on his way to a blacktie affair—most recently, according to Nancy, in the company of Jack Blunt '82.

And yet another lawyer, Howie Brick (who I can only assume is by now known in professional circles as "Howard"—or "sir") has left the Massachusetts Attorney General's office, where he's been working for the last three years, and joined the Boston law firm of Burns and Levinson, where he's focusing on white-collar crime and business litigation. Howie is also an advisor to the Harvard and Boston College law school trial-advocacy programs, which I thought sounded very impressive.

More illustriousness: Dinesh D'Souza has a new book coming out this spring. It's probably in the bookstores, even as you read. For those of you eager to rush out and buy it, it's called The End of Racism. While not writing, or being written about in New York Times Magazine articles on the young Turks of conservativism, Dinesh is a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and a popular speaker on the college lecture circuit.

Still more illustriousness: I received a Boston Globe clipping about hockey player CareyWilson which, as it came from the inscrutable sports pages, I don't dare try to paraphrase. It says, "Former Forever .500 Carey Wilson" I almost gave up right there "with visions of a NHL comeback this year, had a strong camp with the Jets. The lockout killed his dream though, and now the Dartmouth grad is looking for work around Winnipeg."

Speaking of dreams and getting killed, what's this I hear about John Olejniczak? Can that cleancut boy from Chicago really be a regular at Harley conventions? He recently moved to Cincinnati, but that city can't hold John and his hog. I hear he grows a beard every summer and lets the wind whistle through it.
