1978

Jim Dannis reports that he is putting his Dartmouth Russian language studies to good use: "I am a managing director at Solomon Smith Barney and run SSB's European emerging markets investment banking business. I spend three to four days a week in Moscow, where SSB has a subsidiary and an active M& A and capital markets business. Sacrificed Christmas and New Year's to help put together the $12 billion merger of two big Russian oil companies which created YUKSI, the world's largest public oil company by reserves and the third largest by production. (Perversely, the kids probably think it was a good holiday my major guilt feelings translated into a last-minute Christmas Nintendo.) Our family lives in London, England, where I spend weekends. Wife Sandy (ageless) children Larisa 10, Jenna 8, Conor 5, have essentially gone native after five years in England. The kids are in an international school and speak with a strong English accent. I have remained a staunch American to provide cover when we are back in New Hampshire, where we have a farm in the town of Dalton, pop. 800. The farm is a sharp counterpoint to London and an ideal place to unwind, track moose, catch frogs, and overall school the family in essential 'Emmett' traits before I lose them."

Nancy Denny Kellogg and her husband, Dean '77, are both on the faculty at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. Nancy is in the pediatrics department, specializing in child abuse, which requires a lot of fencing with lawyers in court. She maintains that their real job is "raising three sons: Trey 8, Bernie 6, and Ben 3 and keeping up with our dog, cat, fish, snake (he is loose at the moment), turkey, snapping turtle, and IS chickens."

William Young is a neurosurgeon practicing at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia. He writes that "My wife Doris, my nine-year old daughter Lauren, and I enjoyed the 25th reunion of B.A.D.A. (Black Alumni of Dartmouth Association), which took place in Hanover in May. The conference was enlightening and a lot of fun." Glen Swartwout lives in Hilo, Hawaii. He will be the lead speaker in Kauai at Future Medicine Now! the first international biophysics conference.

Barbie Snyder Martinez is district channel manager at IBM Printing Systems in Waltham, Mass. Barbie has been with IBM since graduation—l don't imagine many of us could equal that tenure. She and her husband, Rene, have two children: Peter 10 and Julie 6. In addition to working fulltime, Barbie volunteers in her children's schools, teaches CCD at their church, and enjoys sailing.

Will Fraizer is senior advisor facilities engineering for Chevron. He lived in Papua, New Guinea, 1990-93, as Chevron environment and safety manager before returning to the United States and working in Northern California. He has continued to travel extensively overseas throughout the past five years. Will helped establish an integrated conservation and development project with the World Wildlife Fund.

I received a nice note from DavidMartin, who was kind enough to tell me what a good job I was doing, before pointing out that I neglected to mention "the far more important aspects of my life after Dartmouth!" In addition to his professional accomplishments, David has been married to his wife, Sue, for ten years and they have two daughters: Elizabeth 6 and Sarah 4.

That's all the news I have space for this month. Please keep in touch. Fortunately, El Nino has not affected cyberspace, although my daughters called to say that not one of our televisions is working today (the good news and the bad news).
