1986

You might be a Generation Xer if you wore anything Izod especially those windbreakers that folded up into a pouch you could wear around your waist.

Bill Bosch wrote that he and his wife, Brenda (Healey) Bosch '85, have two little Bosches, Allison (6) and Margaret (3). As of this writing, they were waiting for the arrival of baby #3 by Christmas. When he isn't spending time with his lovely family in Great Falls, Va., Bill litigates commercial and intellectual property disputes with Morgan, Lewis in D.C. He's already training his daughters for the Big Green lax team. Diana Headrick informed me that Pat Donovan, assistant DA in New Hampshire, was featured prominently as the leader of the murder investigation of two high-school girls in Salem, N.H. (Pat, my apologies if this title is not quite correct.) Virginia Rhoads is about halfway through her Ph.D. program in psychology at Antioch University. Her organizational design/change management consulting biz now has a large amount of executive coaching in it. She also reported in October that skiing was not too far off. LeeMerkle-Raymond and her partner, kathy, became proud parents of a little girl in June. Lee enjoyed spending last summer with Baby Alex and is now back to work at BankBoston high tech lending group in Palo Alto. Alex also had her first Dartmouth visit in December when Lee attended the Alumni Council meeting. Whit Trovillion is on temporary leave from the Defense Department while he completes his M.A. at Johns Hopkins/SAIS. He has a daughter named Tory (5), who has already joined her mom on the Horseshow circuit. They all live in Maryland. Since leaving Hanover, Andrew Gutow has lived in five different states. These moves were part of his cross-country tour of medical centers. He's finally settled in Atlanta with his wife, Mimi Blaurocl. Andrew joined the faculty at Emory University School of Medicine in the department of orthopaedics. His subspecialty is hand and microsurgery. Our class seems to have a number of orthopaedic hand surgeons. John Westkaemper is a hand surgeon on faculty at Texas Tech University Medical School, and Andrew Stein is also a member of the Hand Society. Eric Allyn is back in Skaneateles Falls, N.Y., and working for his family firm Welch-Allyn, the dominant supplier of a variety of medical instruments. Ken Bausch and his wife, Melissa Reynolds, are now living in the 'burbs of Lawrenceville, N.J., with 2-year-old son Theodore. Ken now works for Brown Foreman Co. as director of retail operations running their Lenox, Dansk, and Crouch & Fitzgerald stores. Last June Chris Wolf and his wife, Grace, welcomed their first child, Leilani Marie. The baby's name is Hawaiian for "heavenly flower." Chris asks for help in finding the '50s song called "My Sweet Leilani?" (Chris's e-mail address is on the class web site, if you know). Chris has been a senior manager in organization strategy with Andersen Consulting Strategic Services for more than two years. He occasionally sees Diarmud O'Connell, who works for Andersen on the West Coast. The Wolfs reside in Westchester County, N.Y. Mike Rieger and his wife, Kai, now live in Hermosa Beach, Calif. Mike manages a $5-plus-million investment portfolio for SunAmerica, and Kai helps originate commercial real-estate loans there as well.

Scott Rabschnuk recently became engaged to Alison Korites (Wellesley '90) whom he met in San Francisco. He whisked her off to a little cottage in Point Reyes National Seashore under a ruse he'd worked out with his boss saying that they'd been given a weekend as a gift. During a break in their hot mountain bike ride, while Alison was munching on a Cliff Bar, Scott popped the question. After she swallowed, she said, "Yes." They are planning a fall wedding in New England. Since graduation Scott has been working at the advertising firm, Anderson & Lembke. He heads up the web advertising for Microsoft. He, D Valentine,T.G. Ricker, and Rob Balas are also in the San Francisco area, and they all have a standing monthly poker game with some '87s.
