I've decided that for the next few months (or until I start receiving some mail), I'm going to reuse the introduction. Hey, it's functional, and it'll cut down my drafting time significantly. Besides, I know that most of you just look for the bold print anyway. Due to the lack of letters that I've received over the past few months, I'm assuming that everyone is saving their news for those three fun-filled days in June. Yes, our fifth Reunion is only a few months away. Wendy Gruenberg is working hard on the arrangements, so if you have any suggestions for food, events, entertainment, etc., e-mail them to or feel free to send them to me at the address below (and write a few words about yourself and your friends while you're at it).
Nancy DeSa sent me an e-mail announcing her move from Washington, D.C., to New York City, where she will help develop Merrill Lynch's Intranet. Nancy asked me to publicize the '92s Web page: http://www.dartmouth.edu/alumni/classes/92/ check it out!
My apologies to Sandy Burnham, whom I left off the list of attendees at Jamie Hurwitz's August wedding to JimPerrello. Sandy is finishing up at UPenn Med School, and plans on a career in pediatrics.
In November I went to the Dartmouth/Princeton game with Jamie and Jim, and met up with Sandy, JuliaHynes, Sue Greeley, Melissa Rich, and Jennifer Sandoval and her husband, Mike Faherty (who is a UVA grad and an excellent Dartmouth fan). After the game, we bumped into Gary Rovner, who is an environmental lawyer in Washington, D.C., and Tom Henry, who just entered Columbia Med School.
Nicole Landaw writes from New York City, where she is setting up her own jewelry studio and assisting a jewelry designer in Soho. In June 1995 Nicole graduated from the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., with a master's in metalsmithing. She then moved to Pforzheim, Germany, to study jewelry design, and returned to the U.S. in August 1996 to coordinate her first solo exhibition of jewelry.
A blurb in the Johnstown (Penn.) Tribune-Democrat announced that PeteDeBalli received his medical degree from the UPenn Med School, and will serve a residency in general surgery at the University of Rochester (N.Y.) Medical Center.
Alex Rundlet sent me an e-mail, saying that he returned to New York in 1995 from the peace corps working as a Health Education Volunteer with the doctor of his "arrondisement" (like a county) in Sofara, Mali, West Africa. Upon his return, he worked as a paralegal in New York before applying to law school (he just started as a public interest scholar at UPenn Law School). Alex reports that DeVere Beard is getting married in Atlanta this spring. DeVere is a teacher/coach at St. Paul's School in Baltimore and is working on a master's in education at John's Hopkins. TyroneRachal is in the second year of the law component of his J.D./M.B.A. program at the University of Chicago.
Andrew Tolson's e-mail announced his engagement to Ingrid Oertell (BU'89). Andrew writes, "while I did not meet Ingrid through Kate AikenMoody, Kate, who is in human resources at Liz Claiborne Inc., was helpful in getting Ingrid placed there....Actually, [Ingrid and I] met on a blind date! No specific date is set yet for the wedding, but we anticipate October 1997 in Manhattan."
Take care and keep in touch.
