1991

Jill Nordstrom dropped me line, asking if I knew what Alex Bodnar was doing these days. I have no clue; Alex where are you? Inquiring minds want to know. Jill got her master's degree in environmental engineering, and is living in Seattle working for a consulting firm doing soil/groundwater remediation work. She says she received a Christmas card from Beth Gray, and, if Jill remembers right, Beth has gone back to business school at Berkeley.

Michael Yu is happily engaged to Cynthia Ruiz, a pharmacist he met on the job. Mike's a urology resident at Washington University Medical Center in St. Louis, and she works in the hospital he frequents. The big day is tentatively set for March of next year.

I'm embarrassed I didn't mention Stacey Wooley back in February, when the Winter Olympics took place, but I had no idea our classmate was competing in the biathlon. While she didn't come home with a medal around her neck, I think it's pretty darn cool she earned the chance to take part in the Olympics. How many of us can say that? Stacey came in 55th and 58th in the 15K and 7.5K races and was part of the United States' 15th-place team finish in the 4-by-7.5 relay. Stacey was even featured in a column in TheNew York Times this winter. It detailed how Japanese officials confiscated sporting weapons from the athletes after practice each day to keep them under lock and key overnight. In the article Stacey lamented that she was accustomed to having her rifle with her at all times, and she missed simply being able to "dry-fire" in the middle of the night when she couldn't sleep. Apparently security was ultra-tight: Olympians couldn't simply flash an ID card and pick up their rifles every morning; they had to pass a retina scan, which is even more exact than fingerprinting. The color of Stacey's rifle: green. Not Dartmouth green, a shade lighter, but still the only green rifle out on the course, nonetheless.
