While on a visit home to the States, I had the pleasure of meeting JonathanWeatherly for the first time (he still resembles his Freshman Book picture). Jon has taken a break from consulting at Towers Perrin and is enjoying his first year at the Kellogg Graduate School of Management (Northwestern), which reminds him of Dartmouth"challenging, fun people, upbeat, and cold" perhaps in part because Jenn Lowry and Todd Tracey are in his class. Jon reported that Jenn spent some years in India working for a power company, and Todd was pictured in the first Kellogg newspaper with a caption referring to him as one of the "shiny, happy people" in his section. Last summer Jon saw a lot of lan McFadzen, who was working for United in Chicago in between years at Harvard Business School. Apparently lan claims that he broke into the ranks of the fast trackers not because of his work skills but because he defeated the entire finance department on the golf course. Jon had also seen Jamie Hooper and William Boulware recently. Jamie is still making "killer sales" at The New Yorker, enjoying the fast lane in NYC, and growing serious about a certain woman in his life. Will finished law school at the University of Wisconsin and was already working on some great assignments. I also saw Roth Herrlinger at Stanford, where he, too, is contentedly pursuing an M.B.A. He said something about getting married and running a hotel somewhere...
Thomas Stone graduated summa cum laude from the University of Buffalo School of Medicine. He is currently serving a one-year internship at Millard Fillmore Hospital in Buffalo, N.Y, and in June he is to begin a three-year residency in ophthalmology at Duke University Medical Center. He is married to PatriciaWebb Stone. Fact: Thomas and Patricia were 84 pictures apart in the Freshman Book.
Anthropology professor Deb Nichols reports that Deb Erdman is working on dissertation fieldwork in Nicaragua to complete an anthro-archaeology Ph.D. at UCLA. Anna Gado is an English teacher at Merrimack (N.H.) High School. Her class reads classics such as Albert Camus's The Stranger and Robert Bolt's A Man forAll Seasons. She plays madrigals to her students that relate to the novels they are reading. Anna has earned a master's in art history from the University of Virginia and a master's in education from Harvard.
Bruce Sacerdote is pursuing his Ph.D. in economics at Harvard and is starting his own fund. This winter he narrowly escaped arrest for towing minors on a sled behind his Jeep Wagoneer on a stranger's snowy driveway. He insists he was just looking for a place to park.
John Neville lives in San Francisco and works for Williams-Sonoma. Three hundred miles south of him Julie Davis has left the Playboy Channel and is working on her own full-length feature film. (Her directive prowess is already on display in Witchcraft VI, featuring Jenny Bransford and available to rent at your local Blockbuster. No joke).
I apologize to Tracy Gleason for a factual error I published in the October Class Notes. I indicated that she was working on her doctorate in clinical psychology, to which Tracy replied: "This is a big lie. I am, rather, doing my doctorate in developmental psychology. Certainly not an egregious error, but I, for one, see a great difference between researching wee ones and researching wackos. The former are a lot more fun in my opinion." What about wackos working with wee ones, Tracy? Has any research been done about them?
This wacko awaits your news.
