1978

While I am writing this in early June, you won't read it until fall at which time another school year begins and it will be 25 years since we matriculated! What a scary thought. Meanwhile, life continues to speed by.

Barbara Dau Southwell recently increased the number of children in her household from three to five when she maried David Southwell, Tuck '87. Barbara now lives in Concord, Mass. She recently saw Mindy Kassen, who is the proud mother of Benjamin Kassen Goelz, born April 2, 1999. Mindy lives in Boulder, Colo. She is still involved in environmental issues, currently working for Trout Unlimited to preserve water quality in streams, rivers, and lakes. Barbara Gilson now has two daughters. Anna was born on November 30, 1998, joining her big sister Emma. Barbara and her husband, Rich Rollins, live in Porland, Ore. Barbara is still making pictures, although no longer teaching photography. She is enjoying the opportunity to be at home with her children.

Ann Hoover Maddox has twin ten-year-olds, Kate and Michael, and an eight-year-old, Christopher. They live in Baltimore, where Annie has seen Michael Brennan. Michael practices law with a large midAtlantic firm. He and his wife, Jane, adopted a Korean baby girl, Annelise, who has just turned six. Their daughter Katie is entering tenth grade, while their son Cy is a freshman at Yale. Apparently the concrete of New Haven was more attractive than the Upper Valley woods. While on a college tour, the Brennan children were less than impressed with Dartmouth's location, to paraphrase: "Gee Dad, sure is in the middle of nowhere?!" Well, as we all know, she is a small school, but...
