1992

When last we left our hero Aisha Tyler, of course—she was reading the Hollywood Reporter and judging a kissing contest. However, there's more to report! Mainly, on classmates who make her feel inferior (Aisha, if you think YOU feel inferior, remember this...at least you got away from Hanover, unlike your humble correspondent).

Another Big Green '92 who finds himself in the Hollywood Reporter is BrantRose, who is a literary agent. John Bagnal is doing his residency at a hospital in Pasadena. Tim Greenberg was at Cyan (CD-ROM and all that fun stuff), but left to start up his own company in San Francisco. Tara Smith was traveling in Europe but by now is likely starting up her Ph.D. in creative writing at either Columbia or the Art Institute of Chicago (Tara, you'll have to update me here). And Molly Phinney is in Boston after a lengthy stint in Mexico, continuing work as a minister.

Got a quick note from ChristinaFlavell, who was despondent over finishing her M.B.A. at McGill University. Why? Because she had to leave her beloved Montreal to take an advertising job in Toronto.

Lauren Dwartz and her husband, Brad Drazen '9O, are living in northern Michigan with their year-old son (Noah). Brad is a reporter for the CBS affiliate, while Lauren took time out from mom duties to start an M.A. program through Michigan State in curriculum and teaching during the summer. Lauren, Amy Nauss,Gretchen Bruggeman, and Tori Storm were all in the wedding party for KimLessow, who was wed over the summer.

You knew wedding stuff had to come up, right? Peter and Kristen Furci, MikeO'Sullivan, Jeff Lewis, and VickiKamberos were in the house a year ago for the wedding of Will Ignatoff and LizCohen. Will is an M.D. in Cleveland, Mike is a corporate attorney for White & Case in NYC, Jeff is with the private client division of Goldman Sachs in Memphis, and Peter is a tax attorney with Debevoise & Plimpton in NYC. Peter said he also heard from Dale Niles, who is running his own business in the Virgin Islands. I recently read a nice piece about Teach For America in The New York Times and was startled to see one of the featured people in the article was Janice Gordon! She has been in the program for six years now, and provided some of the most heartwarming stuff in the story. ( Janice, I think you DEFINITELY made the right career choice.)

Speaking of heartwarming, I have a great story with which to end this month's notes. Lynne Schiffcian and Bob Delise met at our Fifth Reunion last year after (to my knowledge) not knowing each other for four years as classmates. One year later, and Sharon Johnson-Cramer e-mails me to let me know they will be wed in October in Rollins Chapel! And you wonder why Dartmouth lets us come back every five years. Congratulations, both of you. That's it, the bag is absolutely empty. Time to (again) send me news!
