1996

Hello, one and all. Surprisingly enough, no weddings to report this month! Lots of career notes though, so here's a good chance to catch up on the whereabouts and recent successes of a few fellow classmates.

Matt Little writes that he finished up his master's in public administration at the Maxwell School of Public Affairs in Syracuse this past summer and was subsequently chosen for a presidential management internship. The opportunity led him to the Environmental Protection Agency's wetlands division, where he is currently working in Washington, D.C.

Gholson Lyon dropped a note from New York City, where he is now enrolled in the M.D./Ph.D. program at Cornell/SloanKettering/Rockefeller on Manhattan's Upper East Side. He writes that the past year he spent studying at the University of Cambridge in England was fantastic and that he just received word that he passed his oral exam for an M.Phil. degree in genetics there. He hopes to head back to the UK briefly for the graduation ceremony this summer. Barrett Willingham is currently working on the Hill in D.C. as a legislative assistant in housing, patent, copyright, and postal issues to Rep. Bill Archer (R-TX). Trisha Cunningham has been named broadcast coordinator at Hill, Holliday, an agency based in the Boston area. Last fall Bill GuerIn was selected as the new conductor of the Waltham Philharmonic Orchestra in Waltham, Mass. Finally, Barney Olson, who has been working in Costa Rica supervising a group of high-school students performing community service in a local fishing village, was recently selected as the recipient of a Rotary ambassadorial scholarship to pursue studies in economics and environmental studies in either Chile or Argentina next year.

Many congratulations to everyone on their recent achievements. Unfortunately, however, that's all the news I have at the moment. Have I heard from you recently? If not, then please drop me a line!

Take care, everyone.
