1994

Greg Park was among the few who dropped me a note this month to let me know how he and his fellow KXK brothers are doing. Greg is working as a financial analyst at Paine Webber. His roommates SteveChoi and Walid Kamhawi are analysts at Smith Barney and Bear Stearns and are working 90-hour weeks. Hey guys, remember the good old days when we thought having a 10A and a 2A was a tough schedule? Oh, what I wouldn't give for a four-hour day every now and then...but I digress. Greg also reports that Tor Trivers is at Nomura Securities. Darren Mareiness is deciding whether to go to NYU or Virginia Med School. Pete Stoll is out in Chicago working for LaSalle Partners. Dave Granin is paralegaling before starting Columbia Law, while Mike Parsons is already almost through with his first year at Columbia Medical. Cristy Walker wrote to me in March to update us all on her post Dartmouth adventures. Cristy was living in Jackson Hole, Wyo., working at a family violence shelter and skiing and backpacking until recently, when she re-injured her knee and had surgery for the fourth time. Although her injury has since kept her away from the outdoors, it certainly did not keep her off her feet for too long. Cristy moved to San Francisco in February and is now working in the legal world of children's advocacy. But as incentive to get back in touch with nature, Cristy is planning an extended camping trip up to Alaska and the Yukon this summer. You might look for her if you can keep up with her! Robin Arms spent January and February driving across the country with her beau. Some of the highlights she mentioned in her letter were skiing Park City, Utah, climbing in Joshua Tree, Calif., exploring San Francisco and running into Jen Dirkson there, and mountain hiking in Moab, Utah. "Now I'm home biding time until my work with Outward Bound begins," writes Robin. "I'll be instructing sailing, climbing, and kayaking all summer on Hurricane Island, Maine." As for some of Robin's Dartmouth friends, she writes that "Jen Suhie is keeping busy in Boston applying to grad schools in psychology and counseling and teaching inner-city kids. Christy Dowding always seems to be at her office at the Monitor, and Deb Hafermann is still jammin' on her keyboard!"

OK, the mailbox is again empty, but don't worry, no poems this time. I've managed to dig up some information from one of my many spies at the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine. (Yes, we are always watching you—so just keep your name off the police blotter and away from any sort of media hype—otherwise we're on to you.) For example, did you know that Matt Fitzgerald, en route to visit his sister in Zimbabwe this December, got a little sidetracked in Tanzania and decided to climb Mount Kilimanjaro? And did you know that Sam Wilbur was named Outstanding Male Performer at February's Heptagonal Indoor Track and Field Championships, where the Dartmouth men's track team finished third? Did you know that Christy Ullrich was one of 15 young American professionals honored with a Robert Bosch Foundation fellowship to study in Germany from next September to May? And did you know that most of the people in this article have more energy in their big toes than I have in my whole body? On that note, I am off to sleep, wishing I could break down the next ten weeks of "the real world" into a 10, 11, 2A schedule, and thinking how nice it would be if I could stop and lie out on the Green for a few minutes in the middle of my commute home.
