1986

If you're not feeling old, you will when I tell you that the people who started college last fall I across the nation were born in 1980. And as far as they know, stamps have always cost about 32 cents. You're welcome. Marion (Halliday) Lewis was bored at work one day last October and filled me in with all kinds of goodies. She's been a Mrs. for ten years and living in Louisville, Ky., with her husband, Mark (UCLA). They have two little boys (2 and 3). Marion graduated from UVA Law School in 1991 with many other '86-ers, then did a one-year stint for a federal appellate judge. She now heads a Kentucky agency that regulates securities and investor fraud.

Shelley Mosely and her husband live in Texas and continue to be successful entrepreneurs by expanding their interior design decorative statuary business. According to Marion, they also have one of the most beautiful babies she's ever seen, who's around two years old. Jennifer Key is a D.C. lawyer focusing her practice in energy law. She's also an athlete, a football guru, and has a serious beau who has some sort of fascinating investigative/research position where he gets to freelance for the government tracking down bad guys. 9 Sanders is now a doctor and still a nature lover. Katie Sayres seems to be a jetsetter because correspondence from her always seems to have some sort of foreign postmark, and she always seems to be working or attending graduate programs in exotic locales. Werner Tillinger, M.B.A. extraordinaire, lives in San Francisco with several much-loved cats. Hank Gibson married Karen Toomey last fall in Fremont, Calif. Hank earned an M.B.A. at Stanford in 1994 and graduated as an Arjay Miller Scholar. He is now a management consultant with Bain & Co. in San Francisco, where they live. Jenny Heath welcomed the birth of son Nicholas "Cole" Rye Pollard on September 6. Out-of-work pediatrician mom has a little body to practice on while she waits for Canadian credentials. According to Jenny, the Rye stands for Canadian whiskey, as Cole is the first Canadian in the family. Jenny also told me that Michael Pinneault and Heather '87 are proud parents of three little girls now, Caitlyn 3, Allison 19 months, and Emily 2 months. Michael joined the U.S. attorney's office in Boston last summer. Debbie (Burke) Williams joined the management of the information delivery group at MicroAge in Tempe, Ariz., in December. She and her husband, Kevin, live in Phoenix with two miniature pinscher puppies. Debbie told me that Susanne Pepper lives in Massachusetts and works for Polaroid. How does an English major end up testing CAD in a quality-assurance department of a computer company? Ask Phyllis Smith, who does that parttime and works in a program that does therapeutic horseback riding for children with special needs the other part of the time. Whit Trovillion finished a brief leave of absence from the National Security Agency to complete his master's of international public policy at SAIS/Johns Hopkins. He's now living in the Baltimore area. If you have a few bucks to invest, call on Frank Reichel at Stratton Management Co. He's making his name known in the world of small-cap stocks, managing the Stratton Small-Cap Yield Fund. By focusing on stocks that pay dividends, he's been able to weather small-company market changes better than most rival managers. In fact, over the past three years, the fund placed No. 65 out of 148 small-cap funds tracked by Bloomberg Fund Performance.

Karen Harpp has been making quite an impact as a faculty member of Lawrence University in Wisconsin. She has been on a crusade to spread the message that "chem- istry is cool" and organized an educational outreach program for area schools, "Chemistry: More Than Just Equations!" Karen has also been engaged with the ChemLinks Project to reform the way chemistry is taught and received a sizable grant from the National Science Foundation in support of research on anthropogenic pollutants in local lakes and groundwater. To top it off, she received two awards for exemplary service and leadership.
