1994

Ever since he started working as an environmental management consultant at Arthur D. Little in Cambridge, JonNewton has become a man of extremes. For example, in January they sent him to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, 250 miles north of the Arctic Circle, to do an environmental assessment at the North Slope oil fields. The temperatures are around -60F with a wind-chill that can sometimes reach -100F...sounds like Hanover—ahh, the value of a Dartmouth education. "It will be dark 24 hours a day," writes Jon. "However, the Northern Lights are supposed to be spectacular." I hope Jon got a chance to see those once he stopped gasping for air, since a person's lungs apparently go into convulsions for about two minutes or so until they adjust to the cold, dry air. Sounds... interesting. On a lighter note, Jon will be dropping his parka and heading off to Orlando for his next assignment. Sounds like the environment's managing you these days, Jon, but I hope you're enjoying all your adventures! If you want to find out how Jon is finding the air down here these days, drop him an e-mail at . I got a note from Matt Hergot outlining his various post-Dartmouth adventures. After graduation he worked first in D.C., then in Moscow. Now he is a second-year M.B.A. student at the Fuqua School of Business at Duke. Recently Matt had a paper published in the Review of Industrial Organization just about four years after he originally wrote it—it's a paper he wrote for an economics class he took senior year, which his prof advised him to revise for publication. It is one of the very few—if not the only—undergraduate papers ever published in the bimonthly economics journal, and Matt feels indebted to his professor, who convinced him to do it and guided him through the process. 'I think people like him are what make Dartmouth so great," writes Matt. After graduating this May, Matt hopes to work in investment banking. If you want to know who Matt's professor was, e-mail him at Okay, I've got more news from many others, but I can't do a column without wedding talk, so before I leave it out of yet another column, I must share the news of the espousal (I will try to use synonyms for "wedding" from this point on because I'm getting pretty bored with that word) of Veronica(Doherty) paricio and her sweet husband, Jorge, who has moved from Madrid to Queens all in the name of love. The ceremony took place at the BU chapel, and the reception was at the Hyatt in Cambridge overlooking the Charles. Only a few of us braved the dance floor for most of the night, as the Spanish band and music required fancy footwork that only a few possessed. But at least "La Bamba" got the rest of us out there for a little while. The Dartmouth contingent at Veronica's nuptials was comprised of Kathy Fidler, Bridget Murphy, Jenn Carroll, Cynde Bieixnan, Zeke Greenwald '93 and Tracey (Revellino) Greenwald Mare Keiller, Beth Parento, Jon Fidelak '93 and Karen(Rieper) Fidelak, and Cheryl Flick '95. We send the newlyweds much love and many thanks for sharing the celebration of their union with us! I'm all out of synonyms, and all out of room. But keep writing, and of course, take care of yourselves.
