1987
You have just a few more days to catch the exhibition that Kathy Selig Brown has curated for the Asia Society in New York. Spiritual Perfection: Religious Sculpture front South and Southeast Asia closes April 1, but should be traveling to Aspen later in the spring. Kathy is teaching art history at NYU and is finishing her dissertation on Tibetan painting. She traveled to Brazil last summer with Luanne Zurlo, who oversees Latin-American telecommunications and Web companies for Goldman Sachs. Kathy also keeps in touch with Lisa Shabel, who is a philosophy professor at Ohio State, and Karen Grossman Verlaque who lives with husband Renaud and their three children in Bronxville N.Y.
Karen Wicke Boyle sent me an update recently: "I am back to teaching high school biology, chemistry and physics (ick!) in Tarytown, N.Y., after taking the 1998-99 school year off to stay home with my daughters Megan, 7, and Cassidy 3. Part of my work this year is being part of a project called Goals 2000, where I am one of several teachers helping other teachers integrate more technology into the classroom. We are in die process of developing lessons that use computers both as tools for students and aids for teachers. I also participated in Avon's three-day walk for breast cancer last August. Two thousand people walked 58 miles into Manhattan and raised $3 million to help educate women about the benefits of early detection. It was a great experience and very inspiring."
Mark Brzezinski now reports for work at the White House. Mark is the director for Russia and Eurasia for the National Security Council. Currently he is focusing on the conflict in the Caucasus as well as oil and gas matters in central Asia. Prior to this, he was a corporate attorney in Washington working on oil and gas matters. Mark also lived in Europe for five years, completing a doctorate in political science at Oxford and doing a Fulbright at the Polish Constitutional Court.
A few months ago you read in this column about Tim Donmoyer's new job in Chicago. You should know that the career history I printed was forwarded to me in press release form by Tim's company and without his knowledge. He was rather embarrassed about the self-important tone of the piece, and so I wanted to explain that he did not ask me to flaunt his resume so flagrandy. What Tim would really like you to know about him is that he and his wife, Karen, are the proud parents of twin girls Hailey and Caitlyn who turned 1 in November. Tim also sent news of new dads Phil Reilly whose twins were born November 26 (more on them later) and Mike Sullivan, whose daughter Nicole reportedly has all of her father's chins and at 14 weeks weighed about 20 pounds.
Back to the Reilly twins: Phil and wife Kelly welcomed Jack Henry and Annie Shea on the day after Thanksgiving and within weeks were a bit overwhelmed by the baby paraphernalia taking over their house. Phil has been an executive producer at Arnold Communications in Boston for the past five years, and produces television commercials for Titleist Footjoy and Pinnacle golf products as well as for the Bell Atlantic Yellow Pages. Phil travels to great golf locations around the country and hobnobs with the pros, including this year's winning Ryder Cup team. Kelly is a business unit manager in the marketing group at Ocean Spray. Phil keeps in touch with Tim and Mike, AndyGilman Al Dekin and Dave Foster.
