Hi all: Though Jeanhee Kim has written her last '90 Notes column "for a while," she continues to serve on the Alumni Council and the DAM's editorial board, not to mention coordinating alumni interviewing for the Dartmouth Club of New York. Somehow, she manages to fit all of that into the work schedule of a newmedia maven! Thanks, Jeanhee, for all you do for Dartmouth.
Farther upstate, Tim Kolk reports from Buffalo that he's begun adjusting to a new home and a new baby: Last October, three weeks after their move, Tim and wife Stacey welcomed their second child, Matthew. Tim describes the scene as "two kids, two adults—we're almost outnumbered." When Matthew's sister Sarah arrived, Mom and Dad had pictures on the Web pretty quickly, so stay tuned for a URL. For fan, Tim does alumni interviewing, "trying not to grin too much when I discuss how multi-level outrageous some of my social experiences at Dartmouth were."
From points farther south, news from two '90 colleagues at the bar. Both AbdulKallon and David Roth practice at Alabama's Bradley Arant Rose & White, each joining after clerking for federal judges in Birmingham. Abdul writes that he works in the firm's labor group and David in the firm's health-care group. David and wife Kathleen, a media-relations coordinator for the University of Alabama's Comprehensive Cancer Center in Birmingham, expect their first child this spring. "We have stuck with tradition and not found out the sex of the baby," David writes, resulting in an entirely gender-neu-tral nursery. One thing's for sure—David already calls the child a Dartmouth '22, so look for lots of forest green in the baby's room, if not pink or blue.
Around Washington, D.C., we can celebrate a classmate's return to the area: BradLang has moved to Rockville, Md., with wife Linda Ulrich. Brad has joined the D.C. office of New York's Wilson, Elser, Moskowitz, Edelman & Dicker, where he plans to work in medical malpractice defense. After marrying in 1997, Brad has followed Linda—a Navy pediatrician—to assignments in Virginia's tiewater region, El Paso, Texas, and now Bethesda Naval Hospital. Brad's move already has Arlington, Virginia's Jon Sullivan and wife Cindy Fink smiling. They introduced Brad to Linda, who attended Duke with Cindy. And the matchmaking doesn't stop there credit Jon and Cindy with introducing Hunter Labovitz and Duke '9O Heather Howard, themselves recently married and moved into a home in the District. Hunter and Heather are lawyers in town, Jon numbers among the Internet wizards in our class and Cindy is a management consultant specializing in health issues.
Lots of '90s probably recall Frank Lautenberg's decision to retire from representing New Jersey in the U.S. Senate, but how does that story make for '90 news? Eric Fanning explains it all: Congressman Bob Franks has entered the race for the open Senate seat. Among the 12 candidates making a bid for the House seat vacated by Franks, our own Tom Kean, who spent some time as a member of the outgoing congressman's Hill staff. Tom hopes to follow in the public-service tradition set by his grandfather, himself a House member, and his father, who served two terms as governor of New Jersey.
