1977

John Norton celebrated President's Day by dressing as Linda Tripp. A photographer for The Aspen Times recorded the occasion, a Monica Lewin- sky look-alike contest, for posterity. When he's not cross-dressing John is chief operating officer at the Snowmass ski resort. Perhaps Belt- way insider Paul Gigot can tell us how effectively john captured the post-surgical Tripp look.

This e-mail arrived recently from JeanRosston: "Greetings from afar. I have not written for a long time nor have I disappeared off the other end of the earth. Through the alumni search list, I tried in vain to find a few classmates who I have not heard from in a long time. So I thought I would report my whereabouts and maybe provoke a reaction.

"For 12-plus years I have resided in Zurich, Switzerland. I seldom see classmates, but occasionally have contact with Douglas Reichert '80, an international lawyer in Geneva. George Shackelford from Boston came through Zurich on a whirlwind art search tour for his next exhibition about a month ago.

"During the year I travel for work (around Europe, occasionally to the United States and for the first time to Sydney, Australia, just last month) and for pleasure (short trips around Europe, longer trips to Nepal in 1998 and 1999 to climb some high and beautiful mountains in the Himalayas, occasionally to the United States to see family and old friends, and to touch base with 'home'). I continue work as a conservator of fine art in the main fine arts museum in Zurich and do some private contracts in addition, which keeps me very busy. Snow is plentiful this year and there are fewer avalanches than last year...just need a litde more time to be free and a weekend with clearer skies to enjoy it.

"We will be performing Verdi's Requiem (I sing in the chorus) with an orchestra and soloists in the city concert hall. Just a hobby but serious enough to be satisfying. Come see our Cezanne exhibition in summer about his 'finished-unfinished' paintings and go for a swim in the lake of Zurich in the after- noon. Home address: Hoschgasse 95, CH-8008, Zurich, Switzerland; e-mail jean- rosston@kunsthaus. ch."

O'Neal Turner continues to direct the college advising program at The Culver Academies in Culver, Ind. He published his fourth book last fall—the second edition of The Complete Idiot's Guide to College Planning. His first three were: The Complete Idiot'sGuide to Getting bito College (1994), The 10-Minute Guide to Getting Into College (1996) and 50 Things You Can Do to Get into theCollege of Your Choice (1997). In his spare time O'Neal coaches the varsity lacrosse team, which won the state championship. His son O'Neal 111 earned All-State honors as a mid-fielder.

Ken Wagner reports, "I continue my career in water resources management, providing consulting services relating to the management of drinking water supplies and recreational lakes and the impact of storm water and wastewater on aquatic systems. It is very interesting work, and I run into Dartmouth alums often, although few '77s. I also teach at a local college as an adjunct professor, and would like to do more of this in the next few years. My two sons and daughter are very active and keep Marianne and me busy just getting them to their sport, band, Scout and other activities (a well-known situation among classmates). The oldest goes for his driver's license next week, so this may ease the burden (and increase the worry lines) a bit. I have seen Lynn Duncan on several trips to Houston for business, and she and I continue to play hockey."
