1989

What do most of us do for adventure these days? If you re Susan Shons Luria you tackle Mt. Rainier, as she did one weekend in September. Of the 12 people on the trip, four turned out to be Dartmouth grads, including Pete McBride '93, a freelance adventure photographer based in New York; Melanie Warner '91, a writer for Fortune magazine based in San Francisco; and Bob Williams '77, a partner in Bay Partners, a California-based venture fund. They decided that the same aspect of their personalities that led them to Dartmouth also led them to believe that climbing Rainier was the perfect weekend stress reliever. Susan apparently has a lot of stress in her life because last January she also climbed Africa's Mt. Kilimanjaro. When she's not bagging peaks, she lives with her husband, Neil, in Cleveland, where she started a healthcare technology company with Eric Fanning '90, among others. Susan also sends news of Meredith McCredie Winter, who is new mom to a beautiful filly after breeding her horse Maggie. She lives in Basking Ridge, New jersey, and works for the Nature Conservancy.

Ted Weicker married Kathrine Krogh in Copenhagen, Denmark, in early December. He's been living and working as a consulting engineer in England and Denmark for the past six years and in January began attending an M.B.A. program at the Institut Europeen d'Administration des Affaires in Fontainbleau, just outside Paris.

Ted Young tied the knot last June with Cyndi Fazekas, a dentist whom he met in an elevator in New York City. (As Dave Barry would say, I'm not making this up.) Groomsmen included Mars Bishop, Paul Mahoney and Dave Irwin. Other '89S in attendance numbered close to 20.

Nicole Waldbaum Moser sent almost enough news for an entire column (thank you!) from her home in New York City, where she lives with her husband, Michael, 3-year-old son Cameron and daughter Charlotte Brooke, who was born May 25. Nicole is back at work as a part-time attorney at Willkie Farr & Gallaher, where she's toiled since 1992. She reports that Laurie Sammis became engaged to her boyfriend Peter on a glorious October morning in Sun Valley, Idaho, where they both live. And Nicole filled me in on plenty of classmates on the move. Gesine Albrecht has relocated from New York to Hong Kong, where she will continue to work as a corporate lawyer for Cleary Gottlieb. Mike Herzig, his wife, JOJO, and their two children moved back to New York City from London. She says 2-year-old Gabrielle is the "spitting image of her dad, albeit a much prettier and feminine version." Jim White and his wife, Marguerite, moved to Chatham, New jersey. And finally, Nicole says she joined Gesine, Laurie, Martha Boss Bennett, Heidi Briggs Buonanno, Jen (Block) and Todd Cromheecke, Julia Powell O'Brien, Jen Large, Mary Kay McGeown, Kate Enroth and Dana Schmaltz in Providence last summer for a reunion, along with various spouses, children and significant others.

Hank Rogerson and Jilann Spitzmiller's documentary film Homeland aired nationally on PBS in November. As mentioned here earlier, the film chronicles the lives of three families on the Sioux Pine Ridge Reservation. Jilann and Hank are currently producing/directing several episodes of a new Discovery Health Channel series called Medical Diary.

Finally, Alec Scott has surfaced in Toronto, where he's an editor at a weekly Canadian magazine called Saturday Night. He describes it as similar to Harper s—a mix of features, short stories and other items. He joined the magazine after several years as a media lawyer, working primarily on freedom of expression cases under Canada's Charter of Rights. Alec says that in his last year of practice, he put on a play he wrote at a small theater in Toronto and that prompted his return to journalism. He says it's tough starting over without much professional journalism experience, but he's learning a lot and still dabbling in law by writing legal texts on privacy law.
