1983

For those of you who have lost touch with Toby Hitt, he is no longer a personal injury lawyer, heir to his father's firm, and a mayoral candidate in New Haven. No, he has given all that up for an alternate career path. Last fall he was ordained a Roman Catholic priest and today is associate pastor at the Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church in Las Vegas, N.M.

Toby, raised in a liberal Congregationalist family (he harkens back to a Dartmouth term in Italy as his first vivid experience of Catholicism), always assumed it would be though politics that he'd make his mark on the world. As he told his parish during his first Mass, "You could say I've always been on a mission. It has just taken me a while to find the right one."

I have it on good (well, so-so) authority that Clay Cafiero eloped with a lucky Princeton graduate student named Deborah Satinsky. If that's not romantic enough, they were married February 14. My source gave little information about Clay, but waxed eloquent about the loveliness of said Deborah and the fact that she is getting her Ph.D. in Spanish crime novels. Now, that I found interesting. I didn't know there were that many notable Spanish crime novels, although come to think of it I did read one called TheFlanders Panel that I liked. I knew I should have gone to graduate school.

I am sorry to say that this is my month for incomplete information. I promise to do better next time. Eric Valley also wed this year, in Seattle. Period. And all I know about Mike Coster is that he is now a managing director and co-head of the real estate/capital markets group at BankBoston, where he has worked since 1989. Further news or speculation welcome.

It took Michael Cooper ages to convince Lisa Cholnoky that he isn't the Michael Cooper who covers those slash 'em-hack 'em murder stories for The Newfork Times. Part of what aided him in his argument is the fact that he is presently living just outside of Paris with his French wife, Valerie, and two children, Owen 5 and Mathilde 4. What Michael actually does for a living is somewhat more difficult to pin down. He calls it "being an independent writer/producer."

I've said it here before and I'll probably say it here again. Thank goodness for exercise class. This time I ran into DebbieCohen at the Silicon Valley Pilates studio I now frequent. (I hope you, like me, have given up aerobics already. Doesn't all that jumping around strike you as a little jejune? Simple yet excruciating stretching is so much more becoming at our age.) At any rate, it works for Debbie. So in awe was I of how fit she looked that I did not quite take in what she's doing nowadays. She has a business degree from Stanford and is, correct me, Debbie, if I'm wrong, doing some sort of consulting work. It was, in fact, quite the Dartmouth reunion at Pilates. Lisen Stromberg '84 was also working out on the next mat.

Rick Watts writes, "I am now living in Pasadena (Md., not Calif.) and have a realestate consulting firm—primarily due diligence and commercial appraisals. It is doing well." So well, apparently, that Rick was able to take three weeks this summer to house-swap with a French family thanks to , which he highly recommends. "They get the use of our waterfront home and boat," explains Rick, "we get a nineteenth-century former school house with a pool in the mountains near Lake Annecy." (Now that's my idea of a fitness program.)

Rick has a son, Dean 3 ("a lot like me, poor guy," says Rick), whose little sister, Darcy 1, adores him.

Last but never least, loyal readers already know about Danny Goggin's lovely home, but he and Sheila also have a new addition to the Goggin brood: Jennifer Elizabeth, born this past January, joins siblings Buck and Justine.
