1990

What a terrific month for news! Jeanhee and I have received postcards, letters, and e-mails, and we thank you all for writing in. We received a postcard from Ken Hancock, who was vacationing on a dive boat in the waters of Fiji (diving, eating, and sleeping). Ken updated us on his working life: "This past year at Video Guide has been very busy. Since being acquired by Gemstar Corp. nearly three years ago, we've been working on its Guide Plus+Gold program guide. This last year we finally finished the Gold version (previously called TV Guide Plus+), and it first hit the shelves in RCA/Thomson ProScan TVs in July. Currently I'm working as the technical head for the 1999 production year version of Guide Plus+ Gold."

After completing his M.B.A. from Wharton in 1996, Sanjiv Kapoor joined the Boston Consulting Group for a while. He then dabbled in a new business venture for a short time before accepting an offer earlier this year from Northwest Airlines to join its corporate headquarters in Minneapolis. "Airlines have always been my passion and my ultimate career goal," he writes, "so I am really excited about this!" Sanjiv and his wife have been living in Minneapolis since May.

On June 20 Jerry Casagrande married Tara Lassel, "an amazing woman from Ontario," whom he met while living in California. The wedding was held in a park on the Canadian side of the Niagara River where it flows into Lake Ontario (just a bit downstream from the falls). Scott Miller,Gerrit Bradley, John Phillips, and DaveLee were in the wedding party, and Tom Magardino and fe, Julie '91), AlRealuyo Atnory Firoe and Jeff Swiatek were all in attendance.

"Tara and I now live in Phoenix," Jerry writes, "where she is going to grad school and I am doing freelance development consulting Prior to moving to the Southwest we lived for a year in Mongolia—which was one of the best experiences of our lives. It's a beautiful country with beautiful people. The only drawbacks were the temperature (averaging about 20 below zero for four months before it warms back up to positive numbers) and the food (boiled mutton—mmm, good.) We loved it and recommend it highly to anyone looking for an off-the-beaten-track place to vacation or live." Jerry can be reached at

Bill Levin e-mailed the following update: "I am back in the Boston area, where I live in Charlestown and work for Ocean Spray Cranberries, as manager of event marketing and corporate sponsorship. In my position for Ocean Spray I negotiate and manage national relationships (like NCAA, Warren Miller Films, tennis pro Martina Hingis, and millennium sailing Fest, Operation Sail 2000) in order to leverage at the local market level. My spot has taken me to interesting locales over the past year and a half, including Wimbledon, Steamboat, and San Antonio's Final Four. I spend all the free time I have at Park Street Church in Boston (where I accepted Christ two years ago) and with many friends and family. Let me know if you will be in Boston or down near the cranberry bogs at !"

Trip Davis, Eric Butz and Greg Waldbaum sold their San Francisco-based Internet services company, Green Room Productions () ,to iXL Enterprises () earlier this year. All of them are still working for iXL and are "having a blast." And a blast isn't all Trip is having. He and his wife, Nicol, had their first baby, Isabel Butters Davis, on September 9.

Finally, I received an unsigned postcard that reads as follows: "Rumor has it that after graduating from Kellogg in June, Becky Barendrick decided to eschew the traditional al post-M.B.A. career path of consulting or investment banking, and instead has taken the position of director of marketing for the Church of Scientology. Becky is also expecting ing her first child in May and eagerly anticipates pates the joys and challenges of single parenting.
