1994

Only a couple of official letters from classmates to report on this month: The first is from Zola MashariM, who writes to let us know that after graduating from Harvard Law in 1997 and practicing corporate law in N.Y.C. for a few years. "I have recently moved out to L.A. to produce feature films. I am marrying my sweetie from law school this fall, and we are very happy. He is also a lawyer and is living in L.A. with me. I am going to Africa in March to produce a film being shot there." Thanks for your news, Zola, and good luck!

The next letter is from Gretchen(Werschkul) TenBrook, who has recently moved from Baltimore to New London, N.H., with her husband, John. "We are adopting a baby from Romania in April," writes Gretchen, "and the waiting feels like an eternity, although I know that I am totally unprepared for the experience of motherhood that awaits me!" Gretchen has also recently published a book Broken Bodies,Healing Hearts: Reflections of a HospitalChaplain. It is a collection of essays based on her experiences with patients in pastoral care. Gretchen will be starting a graduate program in counseling this summer at Notre Dame College in Manchester. "It will be interesting to try balancing being a mom, student and wife, but I know I'm not the first," writes Gretchen. Gretchen also writes that Lena Hillenburg and Maria Lui are working through their first years of residency, Maria in family medicine and Lena in med/pediatrics. Yelee Kim is in her last year of law school at Duke. Kathleen deRiesthal is teaching in Nashville, and AnnaSeto Lai is teaching in/near Sacramento, Calif. Thanks for all of your news, Gretchen, and congratulations on all the exciting adventures ahead!

Now, the rest of this column will be news that I have received from the Alumni Records Office based on press releases, etc. So if you've been in the police log lately, and I'm having a slow news month, your misdemeanors might end up as my material...so you may want to write and explain yourself before I publish your name in future columns. In the meantime, here's what I've got: Meredith Timbers graduated from Yale Law and is now clerking forjudge Stanley Sporkin. Jay Fiedler, as many of us know by now, had an admirable season as the Jacksonville Jaguars' backup quarterback, covering for the injured Mark Brunell. Dawn Matthews received her law degree from the George Washington University Law School, where she was a member of the Environmental Lawyer law journal. She is now working for Lord, Bissell & Brook, a Chicago-based firm. Stacey Stone is teaching fifth grade at the Field School after receiving her M.A. in education from Harvard. Todd Dietrick is an orthopedic resident at the USC/County Medical Center. Well, the rest of the press releases I have are full of news so old that I am afraid it may no longer be true, so I'm leaving it out—for now. But if my mailbox is still empty at this time next month, I'll have to start reporting all the old stuff.

Please send me updates! How disappointing to turn to this column and find only half a column worth of news. Please write. Take care.
