After a winter for the record books (at least in the last few years), the campus is looking forward to spring. There's still snow on the Green but the buds on the giant maple behind Streeter Hall are beginning to show signs of life. Around the North Country, maple sugar season is in full swing.

Here's the news. The class project is finally taking shape thanks to the hard work of Bill Koenig, Dave Graves, and StarJohnson. Perhaps by the time you read this, we'll have the Class Notes and newsletter on-line! Bill writes, "The listserve should be set up soon and that should be one of the best ways to share information and develop discussion." For all of you class techies, get set to plug in and send in your e-mail addresses or URL addresses. For all you slow pokes, visit a friend who can get on the Internet and see what all the fuss is about. Gary Miller e-mails, "The idea for an 'electronic green card' sounds great. I subscribe to several job-related listserves and find them very useful." He also wrote that he received his M.S. in computer science last summer after a five-year program of night classes. Gary is set to become president of the Connecticut Association of School Business Officials for 1998-99.

I talked to K.C. Hayes today. He left California three years ago to move to Montana, where he joined an ad agency before recently starting his own freelance operation. Is he happy about living in Big Sky Country? "Absolutely," he told me, "especially the fly fishing." He is also a mountain biker and skier during the remaining 11 months there's snow. He stays in touch with Denny Brown, who he now says has moved to New York from Pennsylvania. Denny, send me some news. I also spoke with Chuck Thegze. He said he moved to southern California "because my roommate Larry Gotlieb was always bragging about California girls." Seven years ago he started Hungarian Radio, creating radio commercials. He says he's an avid golfer (Pebble Beach is one of his clients). Before we hung up, he announced, "I'm getting drunk tomorrow with Stu (Zuckerman)— he's out here on business." Happy birthday, Chuck! Speedy recovery, Stu.

News out of Elkhart, Ind., reports that Greg Church has moved to Kennebunk, Maine, where he plans to pursue a teaching certification program at the University of Southern Maine. Greg has been married to his wife, Susan, for 26 years and they have three children. Greg, you might not know it, but Susie and I were friends in the third grade when we played "fort" in my parents' backyard. Before leaving Indiana, Greg coached his girls soccer team to an overall record of 38-15-3. You may remember he was captain of our soccer team senior year.

A note from Tom Charles says he's started a side business in his basement home office to keep busy after his regular working hours. Anyone want a soccer necktie? A soccer statue? Greg? Tom? L&F: K.C. Hayes wants to say hello to Doug Raelson and Peter Fogg. DaleWaniata, who is also living in Montana, wants to be remembered to Rick Kenney, his freshman-year roommate; "I have very fond memories of Rick."

They last saw each other when Rick and his wife visited Helena on their way west to Washington and Rick was working on his poetry. Chuck Thegze wishes to be remembered to Earl Zubkoff, whom he hasn't "seen since the day before graduation." Isn't there someone you want to say "hi" to? P.S. If you get a message I called, it's only for news, not class dues. (Psst.. .Dick Wallingford, okay?)
