1993

My message has gotten out because I received several e-mails and letters in response to my plea for class news, but please don't take this statement as a license to procrastinate on sending in your own news. There is never enough news to feed a class secretary's appetite. (Okay, bad analogy, but you catch my point.) On to the news:

My first respondent, Ted Wallace, writes in from Portland, Ore., where he is a partner in an interactive advertising agency called CyberSight, LLC. Ted mentioned that he sees Diane Kornet and Andrew Weber, one of my fellow thirdfloor New Hamp UGA group members, at local alumni club events. Andrew is working for Tektronix in their printer division.

John Goff wrote in recently to fill us in on how he and his wife, Jennifer EbrightGoff, are doing in Scarborough, Maine. "Jen is doing very well. She is president and co-founder of her own mutual fund. The Revest Value Fund is one of the largest small cap mutual finds in Maine. For my own part, I am doing well. After three years I have left my job as community relations director for the Portland Pirates Hockey Club and am now working in Saco as a second-grade teacher. The kids are great and I am loving every minute of teaching. I have also recently started working as the morning sports broadcaster for WPOR here in Portland. They were looking for someone with no broadcasting experience and someone who had a bad Boston accent, and I was their guy." Sounds like John and Jen are practically celebrities up there in Scaaahborraaah. John also mentioned he and Jen recently attended Greg Porter's wedding to Nancy Riley, who is apparently a wonderful woman. Greg and Nancy honeymooned in Hawaii and are currently living in "scenic, downtown Maiden, Mass." Congratulations, Greg!

Right from the script of ER comes the next bit of news. Seth Alpert, who was working as a surgery resident at The Regional Medical Center at Memphis (The Med), wrote in to announce a special Learning Channel show about the trauma center at The Med that aired this past November. Unfortunately Seth arrived at The Med a few months after it was shot, so he didn't make the show.

Scott Mitchell, another one of my former New Hamp UGA group pals, made the Greenwich Times this past fall. Scott is in the retail business and had most recently been a training manager with Ann Taylor in New York, as well as an assistant manager at Abercrombie and Fitch prior to that. As of this fall Scott has joined the force at Mitchell's, a Westport-based clothing boutique, as the assistant manager of the women's division. In his move to Mitchell's, Scott joins his father and grandfather in their successful family business.

Finally, here's a teaser for next month's column: I recently read the election news for my home state of Maryland and noticed that Alex Mooney has won a Maryland State Senate seat representing Frederick, Md. I hope to have some more details about the campaign and the election night party following Alex's triumph. Stay tuned...
