1990

Could the weather have been more perfect? Our 10th (9th) Reunion took place under crisp blue skies with white puffy clouds. Babies and strollers were everywhere, or was I just repeatedly bumping into Pete and Anna Cathcart Harvey, four-month-old triplets in their arms? But really, the best sights of all were the members of die class. You all looked so healthy, happy, and beautiful!

Some of my personal thoughts: Applause is in order for Corrie Wolosin and DanFuchs, who ran a tight reunion operation and helped our class become the envy of the campus for our lobster and steamers dinner (I sensed the classy hand of Kyle Blood, who I don't think attended Reunion, in the menu planning) on Friday night. NateEmerson, you put the Oo Mau Mau! oh oh oh oh, back into our smiles, chil' (or was that the shama lama, baby, in our lamalama ding dong? which by the way reads much more obscene than it sounds), and showed everyone at the Saturday three-class picnic that getting nine years older only means getting better. Beth Davis, thanks so much for calling a spade a spade and reminding President Wright and the classes of 69, '74, '88, '89, and '90 that (unless times have really changed) aside from the problem of alcohol on campus, there's also pot, hash, 'shrooms, coke, and "a little LSD."

I have so much to share, mostly from mail that I received in the weeks leading up to reunion, so forgive me for: 1. making a list, and 2. leaving Reunion tidbits for a later column.

As class secretary, I appreciate the interesting, un-job-related stories people are sending when they just want me to announce their new positions. Two cases in point: C.J. Strickland and wife Nicole Gueron met Christopher "Max" McCabe in Leadville, Colo., for a ski tour of the 10th Mt. Division hut system last winter. "We huffed and puffed our way through the mountains to several huts with gorgeous views of the Mosquito Range and Mt. Massive. The free skiing in the high coulouirs more than made up for the many 'just leave me here to die' moments on the steeper uphill sections. Max left the hustle and bustle of Denver to ski in Crested Butte (and to practice law in Gunnison)." C.J. himself left his antitrust job to join the environmental bureau of the New York Attorney General's Office. David Greenberg has logged miles in a different kind of environment as he and Mike Mauro ran the Boston Marathon, in Dartmouth singlets mysteriously appropriated from the Dartmouth athletic department. David says he took a "Don't ask, don't tell" approach to the situation. "The jerseys served us well, however, as Mike ran 2:55 and I 2:57, after he, again mysteriously, accelerated up Heartbreak Hill. We hope to run the New York Marathon in the fall."

Then there are those of us for whom play and work are indistinguishable. Get a load of this: John Stouffer is now the editorial director of Snowboarding Business magazine, Snowboard Life magazine, and a new launch called Trans World Surf Business. Needless to say, he's been quite busy snowboarding around. Just last spring he was in Utah, Nevada, Vermont, Northern Californa, and Alaska to snowboard, and down to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, to surf and it's all work related! John writes, "I barely get any time to enjoy living in La Jolla and hanging with my roommate Marc Fogelson. He's a bit busy himself working on his residency at the hospital. If anyone makes it out to San Diego, make sure to look us up.

Miriam Gross Schulman wants to correct any misinformation that may have spread after one of our previous class newsletters. She is still employed at Long Term Capital Management in Greenwich, Conn., but now works part-time. On her days off she takes Lotte Berk method dance classes. Her daughter Talia will be two in November and adores Elmo, cats, and music. Rick Hazelton writes: "My wife, Colleen, and I are the proud parents of a baby boy, Harry Joseph Hazelton (6 pounds, 14 ounces), born on May 30, 1999, in Northampton, Mass."

Last but not least, Sarah Kim '95, a Villanova law student of constitutional law professor Ernest Young, wrote that she had the good fortune of having him as a professor and as an advisor for a research project. "I personally wanted to thank him for his efforts, to say that he will be missed by his students, and to wish him and his family good luck at the University of Texas at Austin School of Law." She also expressed hope that her letter wouldn't embarrass him too much, but I guess she hasn't read my column before—embarrassing people is my particular pleasure! But alas, Sarah's note just wasn't juicy enough. Here's the skinny: Ernest went to Harvard Law School after Dartmouth, clerked for a year for the First Circuit Court of Appeals and then went on to clerk for Justice Souter of the Supreme Court. After working "in the real world" for a couple years, he returned to academia as a visiting professor at Villanova.

Sanda Lwin and Ramzi Nemo are joining Anna and me as co-class secretaries at various times over the next five years. Send mail to me or Sanda for the next year or so: Sanda Lwin, . I'll let her give you her full address in a later column.
