1992

Many thanks go out to those of you who have written and e-mailed me with your news. Thanks also for your patience in waiting for your news to print; I write the columns three months before they are actually printed (e.g., I'm typing this column in February), so it's possible that your news may be old by the time the Alumni Magazine hits the press.

Anna Adachi writes from Norwich, where she is living while working on her master's degree in the evaluative clinical sciences at Dartmouth. Anna's studies will focus on outcomes research, clinical decision-making, and health policy.

Chris Frey writes from the University of Pennsylvania, where he is pursuing a master's in historical preservation. Chris hopes to combine his "interests in history and building construction to understand the conservation of America's historic landscape." Before entering grad school, Chris researched, wrote, and designed an architectural history exhibit—titled "A View from the Tower"—for the Museum of New Hampshire History. That exhibit will be on display in Concord for the next ten years, so stop by if you get a chance.

Mark Carlson graduated from Harvard Law last spring, took a job with the Boston Consulting Group, and bought a motorcycle. Mark spent New Year's Eve with PaulLarson, who is working on his Ph.D. in math at UCal Berkeley, and GlennHammond, who, according to Mark, legally goes by the name of "Smooth-G."

Ed Hopkins dropped a note from Hollywood, where he interns at the American Film Institute, learning computer and video technology. Ed wanted to pass along the following anecdote on life in southern California: "The other day, I'm out running around...playing Ultimate Frisbee with some cats from Venice, when suddenly I collide with this guy who's trying to nab the disk right over my head and we tumble. He gets up screaming. As it turned out, apparently I had smacked him on his brand new nipple ring, which stings like the devil. But thanks to the mediating presence of Brant Rose, we shook hands and the game went on." Ed reports that editor John Wolfenden was also "on the turf." Ed asked how he could go about updating his newsletter address. Please send address changes to the Alumni Records Office, HB 6066, and they will update your records.

Nnamudi Mokwunye writes from Amherst, Mass., where he teaches art at U Mass and was nominated for a Distinguished Teachers' Award in 1995. Nam also served as assistant director of the university's craft center, but found time to paint in his own studio and is pleased with his various approaches to "the global gourd."

Gretchen Roush wrote from New York, where she lived for a year between law school (she graduated from the University of Illinois College of Law) and her assignment as attorney for the Army Judge Advocate General's JAG) Corps. After spending the past year doing legal research on Russian telecommunications, Gretchen will spend three months in Virginia at the JAG school before leaving for Fort Hood, Tex., for duty. Gretchen reports that Alison Dickinson lives in Framingham, Mass., with her cats Seuss and Webster, and works in Boston for a computer-oriented investment banking firm, where she is in charge of its Internet brokerage service. Chris "Sneed" Prior proposed to Suzanne Spencer in front of hundreds of people at a Christmas show in New York City. Suzanne said yes, and they will wed next Christmas. Sneed received a commission in the army and is in medical school on Long Island. Suzanne is working on her master's in nursing. Dana Johnson is enrolled in Princeton's master of public affairs program.

That's all for now. Take care and keep in touch!
