1988

I'll start with the Internet this month frankly the only way I've received input for these columns, which must be an enormous change in just the last tew years. Now that every corporation has its own Web page with product information, flashy graphics, and sound effects, jus' plain oP folks are creating them, too. I have two for us this month. The first is from Craig Millman, now an artist living in Los Angeles. On May 8 he set out on a ten-day Internet art/travel project with poet Lisa Verio called "Craig and Lisa Avoid Nevada." His results are posted at and, to my amateur's eye, are pretty impressive. The second is indicative of where many of us are in our lives: Sarah Jackson-Han has a (now somewhat out of date) picture of her daughter, Gillian, posted at

Gillian is not the only new member of the '88 clan: Tim Nevils and his wife, Nancy, gave birth to Kelley Brooks Nevils, a wonderful baby girl, 8 1bs, 5 ounces, on January 31. "No matter what anyone says," they write, "the world does not revolve around the sun."

Jennie Arlin and Sam Braverman announce the newest wonder of their world, Rebecca Claire Braverman, born March 21, and weighing in at 8 lbs, 8ozs. Sarah, their 2-year-old, is "thrilled beyond belief to have a new toy." John W. Kennedy, an endocrinology fellow at the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston, is the proud father of Ryan Charles Kennedy, born January 17. Quentin Cote and his wife, Kelley, recently gave birth to their second daughter, Maya McEwen Cote, on June 8.

John Replogle asks, "What do you get when you add 88+88? 2017." The reason: He and his wife, Kristin, had their second daughter, Grace Thayer, on February 28th, and performing the delivery was none other than Gail Griffin, whom John had not seen since graduation. John writes that Gail is a gifted doctor, who is doing well as she wraps up her residency at Stamford Hospital in Connecticut.

Erik Tieze has baby news and more. As an actor in Denver, he recently appeared in the regional premiere of Edward Albee's Three Tall Women with the Denver Center Theatre Company, and was featured in NBC's recent miniseries Asteroid. He appears locally and regionally in numerous commercials and industrial films. He is married to Lee Massaro, an acting teacher and director, and has two girls under two, Sofia and Ella. "Life is very good in Colorado," he tells us. "It is also one big diaper change."

Wondering about the usefulness of those liberal arts educations? Alert channel surfer Ken Kokko has the answer. In early April, he caught Steve Cook cleaning up on the Jeopardy show. His three-day total was in excess of $34,000—no word on how Steve ended up when his streak was over.

Will Corbin is near me in the D.C. area, finishing up a PhD at the University of Maryland and doing computer consulting.

Yvonne Yueh has news of several classmates. Catherine (Craighead) Briggs is in Connecticut, married, has a new puppy (probably a dog by now!) and is working at Cadbury Schweppes. "Her hubby, Gary, works at Pepsi, so. between the two of them, they carry on the drinking tradition we learned at good o1' Dartmouth." Samantha Hankins is working at the Manhattan DA's office she's "happy, healthy, and looks great."

Yvonne ran into Mark Brooks on a weekend trip to San Francisco when both were out running. He'd recently moved there, and is working in venture capital. Catherine Rainey recently moved to London from Hong Kong. Yvonne herself has been back in New York City for a year, working in marketing for a company called Chesebrough-Pond's (owned by Unilever). More next month!
