1986

William Rodgers and Richard Freeman '64 recently made national headlines for their recent study published in April by the National Bureau of Economic Research, which documents the gains less educated men have made during the current economic boom. Rodgers is compiling a book on this subject, and his chapter with Freeman was profiled in the Sunday New York Times (May 23), Newsweek (June 7), and other national publications. This summer Mary Frances Spatola Sabo reuned with Brian Moore and Richard Thorner. Brian started a neurology residency at the University of Maryland in Baltimore. Richard practices law in Manchester New Hampshire and has a side business selling antiques. On March 18 Melissa (Baten) Caswell welcomed a baby boy named Hollis Leland Caswell V (or Cas for short) on March 18. To her relief they missed Saint Patrick's Day by an hour and 20 minutes as she was not looking forward to a lifetime of green birthday cakes. Jeff Jamieson has been up in Toronto working on his production company's latest hush-hush movie project. Todd Krein said that Tom McDonough and his wife, Ann '87, had a baby daughter named Elizabeth (or Tiny-Beth, as she's known). Todd, his wife, and year-old daughter Sofia visited them in August. All of this was a prelude to a one-week cruise to the Caribbean that the six of them will be taking in January. Todd continues to remodel his house. Halfway through a sixmonth job (slated to end in September), the only water or electricity they had was the upstairs bathroom. Todd ran the Portland Marathon for the Leukemia Society's TeamIn-Training program and said that trying to keep up with the college kids made him feel old. In July Susan McCormack was in the process of changing jobs at Putnam, moving from analyst to portfolio manager. She saw Hugh O'Reilly and Andrea Lordan at a Dartmouth Club of Boston event. Hugh is an up and coming lawyer in Boston, and Andrea stays as busy running after their three energetic boys.

It was nice to hear from Debra Shaumberger, who missed our senior year and graduated with the '87s. She is now an associate at the law offices of Kaye, Scholer, Fierman, Hays & Handler, LL.P., in New York. In March 1997 she married Anthony Schlur and on November 1998 they had their first child, Benjamin Ross. Although she may not have as many children as Jayne Daigle Jones, all four of Susan Moynihan's kids are under the age of four! This past March she had twin girls named Cara and Brynn. Then there's the "oh my" department Maybelle Drake and John Hueston are beginning the teenage years with daughter Tara. In July Carrie Fraser took an overseas assignment for 18 months in Geneva, Switzerland, with Hewlett Packard. Heid E. Erdrich and husband John Burke welcomed Jules Ezra Burke in February. He was named after classmate Julie Russ. Ray Burns continues to work with the Native American alumni of Dartmouth. He has two children. Dawn (Gourneau) Allen and husband Bob 82 have three children and are living and working in Arizona. Andre Cramblit is working for an intertribal venture in Northern California.

KirkLeCompte was on Capitol Hill during the summer helping to make an historic first by providing the signature technology that allowed Congress to electronically sign and e-mail a bill to the President. Kirk is the VP of marketing at Pen Op, whose software enabled Senator Strom Thurmond and Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert to sign the first-ever e-legislation with a digitalized handwritten signature. Now Kirk is hoping to convince the President to sign the bill in kind. Kirk is living outside Princeton, N.J., and takes little Nathaniel (2) to support the Dartmouth teams whenever they come to town.
