1995

It's hard to believe that most of us have been separated from the Hanover Plain for two years. And as many of us are comfortably settled in our daily routines, there are others who having just received their master's of engineering from Thayer and are anxious to embark on new adventures.

Carolyn Rice wrote about the doings of the recent grads. While she heads on to San Francisco with her fiance, Carolyn's classmates will be settling in various parts of the country. Mark Hunter will be working for IBM in Dallas. Kate Wrisley will move to Mesa, Ariz., to work for TRW. Jason Romeo plans to live in Boston while working in environmental consulting. And Ben Hirokawa is moving to Atlanta, where Corey Fleming is starting at Emory Law.

'Course if you really want a change of pace, you could pack up and head to Argentina. Peterson Conway wrote, "After a year at a public relations firm in San Francisco, the pressure of taking companies public, etc., drove me in mad abandon to Dolores' home country of Argentina." Peterson and Dolores Morita had a lot of fun hunting and fishing in Patagonia (the region south of Argentina and Chile) before buckling down to find jobs again. Peterson is writing for the Buenos Aires Herald while Dolores is working for ING Barings as an investment banker.

Jen Evers, another '95 who needed a change, left Mercer Management Consulting, in Boston to work in the alumnae and development office of her old high school, The Madeira School, located in Virginia.

She wrote, "I decided that the corporate grind was definitely NOT for me (I should have known better after flailing so badly in economics!)" Somehow I have this feeling that Jen over-exaggerated, or is it underexaggerated, her economics performance...after all, she did work for Mercer. Now Jen's days are filled with coaching tennis and keeping up with 25 14-year-old girls. Since she lives in a dorm with the girls, Jen gets to relive her teenage years. "I love what I am doing," she wrote. In another year Jen plans to get a master's in East Asian studies but nothing's set in stone.

Even though Jen has her arms full with the teenagers, she still finds time to keep in touch with others. Mandy Key is working for a film-editing company in New York. Janet Heiss is finishing her second year at Montgomery Securities in San Francisco. Larry Burks is working for a small healthcare consulting firm.

Jane Kim is living in Boston while working for a doctor at Mass General. And Jenny Chun is getting her Ph.D. in sociology at Berkeley.

Please keep writing. The columns are only as fun as you make them.
