So I'm sitting in Coors Field at a Colorado Rockies game this summer, contentedly drinking a beer and munching on peanuts, and who comes to bat for the Houston Astros but Brad Ausmus. "Hey, he went to Dartmouth," I said rather loudly. And the friend of a friend of the friend I was at the game with said, "My sister-in-law went to Dartmouth." Turns out I was sitting with Jeff Voss, whose brother is Dave Voss '90, who is married to Laurie Gill. Laurie and Dave live in Arlington, Va., and Laurie works for Quantum Research Corp., which manages databases for companies in the medical industry.
I neglected to mention in the last issue that Chris Ramsey was married last year (during our Reunion weekend). He and his wife, Julie, are now in Oklahoma City, where he's starting his residency in urology. This news comes from J.D. Optekar, who lives in Washington state and works for a software engineering firm that specializes in "information technology solutions in the environmental, engineering, and occupational health arenas." He also reports that Tina Yen is in Seattle starting her third year of general surgery residency at the University of Washington. "She's doing fairly well on her average 90-hour weeks," says J.D.

He was part of the team that represented Fred Goldman and his family and won in the civil wrongful death lawsuit against O.J. Simpson.
