1983

Gadzooks Not one, but two deadlines missed already. Blame it on me for botching the transition, not DebbieMichel Rosch who reliably kept us updated on classmates and Hollywood over the past five years. You'll note a definitive change in tone in these columns now, at least when I'm controlling the script (Jenny Han-ley Ross will be helping out, too). We'll talk politics, sports, weather, the lunar cycle, the S&P 500's P/E multiple, weddings, children, and anything else that's on your mind. Maybe we can lure Dinesh D'Souza into discussions about Bill Clinton; it might be a long shot, but I'm betting Dinesh will have a few thoughts on the Prez. We'll convene a roundtable of lawyers (Bob Goldman, Wick Deer, and I know there are lots more from our class) to learn more about "legally accurate" grand jury testimony and moral bankruptcy. We'll try and coax TimGeithner to tell us what Department of Treasury gurus Rubin and Summers are really thinking. ing. (In case you've missed it, Tim's been all over the media, including The New York TimesSunday Magazine, The New Yorker, but not I'm pretty sure—the Drudge Report.) We'll check in with a few folks stationed far, far away (e.g., Geoff Durno in Singapore, Marisa Kane in London, Tim Golden wherever) to get a global perspective. Maybe we can find SandyBryan, Rkuss Gibson, Roger Baumann ElizaDeery Kathy Bowler Mitchell, and a few other souls that have been missing from this column for, oh, the last 15 years. We'll confer with Messrs. Ardagna, Donnelly, Flanigan, Lavery and Wilson to see if Bobby Gaudet '81 can lead men's hockey back to the Promised Land. Finally, maybe Jim Allen (he of Morgan Stanley) can tell us if we're truly in a long boom economic cycle or staring into the abyss.

Other than those folks, I'll plan to write exclusively about people from Alpha Chi. Wait. That's a slight exaggeration, but—did you know that Mark Hausmannn still lives in sultry Louisiana, still likes being a doctor, celebrated his 12-year anniversary to Rachel in June, has four wonderful children, and continues to resist owning a sport utility vehicle? What's up with Chip Greene, changing jobs again, dragging PattySheperd Greene and three kids (Trip, Claire, and Shep [who's brand-new]) from Massachusetts to Los Angeles? Greg Curhan's now at Merrill Lynch in San Francisco. Jim Freeman's still trading bonds and staring at inverted yield curves on his Bloomberg screen. What about Hojo (i.e., Mark Howard Johnson) exiting 23-=Boston to analyze REITs for Goldman, Sachs & Cos. in the Big Apple? Have you checked out Bill Robbins' new consulting company? It's called Convergent Ventures, it's in West L.A., and there's a great, albeit digitally enhanced, picture of Bill front and center on the website. If you buy a hair dryer, Mac Gardner wants you, please, to make sure it's made by Helen of Troy 'cuz that's where he works now, and he went all the way to El Paso, Texas, for the opportunity, and El Paso's not close to anything unless you count Ciudad Juarez (which you shouldn't). Mark D'Agostino apparently still lives in Indianapolis. Vague and dull information, I know, but it's more than we've got on Marc Ericson, whose disappearance pearance is so complete that I'm tempted to hire Agents Mulder and Scully from X-Files to track him down. Basically, nobody's seen Marc since Joe Kirby's wedding in 1987. He hurt his shoulder playing Marco Polo in the hotel pool that night and we all had to go to the hospital with him in our bathing suits.

Please write/call/e-mail us! Have a happy, safe holiday season.
