1996

Hi people. Lots of news to report these days. I ran into Lisa Stigler recently, who was in Texas on break from graduate studies at Emory. She's working toward a degree in public health there, and says she likes the city of Atlanta, though the work isn't as challenging as she expected. "The best part is teaching an undergraduate health class," she notes, "which is lots of fun and may even be what I want to do with my life. Not that I've managed to make any decisions in that direction!" For now, she's just looking forward to internship opportunities this summer.

Speaking of Atlanta, Garrett Gil deRubio is also there, working for the vice president of sales and marketing at Enabling Technologies Group. "I do a little bit of everything," he says, "managing some consulting projects, tracking sales revenues for the company. It's been a good way to get my feet wet in the business world." Garrett also made it down to New Orleans in February, where he, DrewNatenshon, Scott Lassonde, and RyanCarey met up with Rob Perkins and Ben Dean, both '94s, for the Mardi Gras fesitivities.

The group crashed at Zack Stein's apartment for the weekend. I caught up with Zack later over e-mail to ask for more details, to which he replied, "The weekend was fantastic. With the rampant alcohol consumption (32 ounce beers for 3 bucks!), I felt as if I were back at school." Zack is working as a business analyst for UMS Group, a consulting firm, and expects to be relocated from New Orleans to New York City soon.

Kendra Cheves, currently studying at Michigan Law, also sent an update not too long ago: Elizabeth Kalyvas, she says, began nursing school in Miami in January. Kristen Calcagni is in med school at UVM, and Betsy Miller is at Harvard Law. Kendra also writes that she regularly sees Kim Koontz, who is also in law school at Michigan.

I received a card from Laura Bennett recently, who is right at home at UCSD Medical School. After finishing up her first term, she had a fantastic opportunity to travel to Kathmandu, Nepal, with Interplast, a surgical group that provides reconstructive surgery for children with cleft lips and palates. "Seeing the difference in a child before and after surgery [was] so overwhelming," she says. "The littlest ones are wonderful because you know they will never have to face the ostracism or teasing as they get older...the hours [were] long and strenuous but worth every second!"

Other reports from around the country (and world): Colter Leys has joined the firm of Neal Huston Architect as an intern, where he assists in the production of construction drawings using computer-aided drafting systems. Molly Emott is dancing with TISH at New York University and applying to medical schools. Anh-ThuCunnion is in the process of moving from D.C. to Los Angeles to look for a job. April McQuillar is hanging out in Hanover before heading to Loyola Law School in New Orleans in August 1997. Holden Spaht is currently in Germany attending classes as a Fulbright scholar at the University of Cologne and working on a case study of East and West German firms during economic unification. Despite never playing for Dartmouth due to knee injuries, Robin Alarcon is now playing semi-professional soccer in San Diego, and "working odd jobs to make up for the little money that soccer players make in the U.S."'David Moran is living in Los Angeles and studying for the LSAT to get ready for law school in the fall of 1998. In the meantime he is "looking for a job and hanging out."

OK, I'm out of news. I know there are good stories out there, so please—drop me a line!
