1989

This will be one of my last columns before Jeanne DeSa and I hand over the class secretaryship (??) at our 10th Reunion, so I will take this opportunity to plug that sure-to-be-entertaining event. Get up to Hanover in June! If the 5th Reunion was any indication, die 10th should be an outstanding weekend. No excuses. If I can make it up there with an infant daughter and a bag full of diapers, then so can you.

On to the news. Some of these tidbits are a little stale, for which I apologize, but we must take note of several classmates and their impressive accomplishments.

Last summer Sarah Nilsen was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to conduct research in film studies at the University of Toronto during this school year, so I assume she's there now. James Taylor has been named headmaster of Headwaters Academy, a private school in Montana. After leaving Dartmouth he served in the marines and also got his master's in education administration at Harvard. CatherineTruman sent an e-mail from Croatia, where she was working with a group of local architects who were documenting Diocletian's Palace. For those like me whose knowledge of antiquity is limited to the Flintstones, that's the Roman palace which forms the core of Split, the second-largest city in Croatia. Cathy also traveled to Bosnia (which she labeled "a sobering experience") and then planned to head on to the warm sun of Morocco.

Douglas Anderson sent an e-mail in October, reporting that he is now a partner in the Chicago law firm of Barack, Ferrazzano, Kirschbaum, Perlman & Naelberg, specializing in corporate and real-estate transactions. He had recently returned from a trip to France with fellow '89 Jeff Zarse. Doug writes that Jeff "was sufficiendy fluent in French that I managed to avoid speaking it entirely."

I think I've already updated people on Kathleen Bender, but it can't hurt to do it again. Like Doug, she has been named a partner in a law firm. She works on mergers and acquisitions in the New York office of McDermott, Will & Emery, and is a member of the firm's German practice group.

And finally from the stork department, Kris Moller Henley is the proud mother of Olivia Hemingway Henley, who arrived October 15 weighing 7 pounds, 9 ounces. The Henleys live in Surrey, England, so I guess we should say Olivia weighs about half a stone, or something like that.
