Moon Lee admits that he has "pretty much disappeared off the alumni radar since '94," but now he's letting us know where he's been. 'After dropping out of Harvard Law and working in NYC for a while, I relocated to Boulder, Colorado, with Max Nealon, John Matos and Clare Choo." Since then, Moon has been in the Internet industry. 'After working at Sun Microsystems for a while, I left to start my own company, League Link.com, which has since been acquired by Active.com, where I serve as the vp of technology. We focus on recreational and amateur sports." Max works with Moon as the site production manager. "Max got married last spring to a lovely woman named Nancy Edison." John Matos worked at Naropa University in Boulder for a while, then decided to move back to Portugal, but will be returning by the end of the year. "Clare (Choo) Ming was married last year to a great guy named Dana Ming, and they now have a son named Nyima. She currently works for Nupremis in their Web services group." Moon also got married in 1998 to "the woman of my dreams, Zoe Miller.' Moon has updates on some other '94s: "Doug Cameron is still working for the Cliff Freeman ad agency in NYC. He is still with Sarah Zgliniec, who graduated from NYU law, clerked for ayear and is now working for Patterson, Belknap, Webb & Tyler in NYC. George Kim is engaged to be married. I believe he is still with Salomon/Smith Barney in NYC. Eugene Park was in my class at HLS and, unlike me, went on to graduate in '97 and now practices corporate law at Wilkie, Farr and Gallagher in NYC." That's a nice segue into the message I received from Eugene himself, who has more updates on more folks: Matthew Stowe completed a Supreme Court clerkship with O'Connor and is now working for Patten Boggs in D.C. as an associate. He also worked on organizing the Republican Convention in Philadelphia. Eugene also writes about Matt Trusch, who is still in Shanghai, appearing in several TV mini-series and one feature film called Crossroads. To make ends meet, Matt also instructs Latin dance. Dr. Steven Williams graduated from Yale Medical School and is doing his residency there, training to be a plastic surgeon (jot that name down, people). As for Eugene himself, we know about his career path since Dartmouth, thanks to Moon's update, but he also gives us a personal tidbit in his own letter: "I am getting married to a wonderful woman named Jeehyun Kim in Seoul, Korea, this fall." By the time we read this, congratulations will most definitely be in order!

Tammi Gardner writes to tell us that on May 6, my daughter Tamira Naomi Gardner celebrated her first birthday. She had a rough start since birth, as she was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, but she is progressing wonderfully. I look to each day and the many opportunities for kisses and cuddles, to play pattycake and ughh...teething. Tammi is currently in D.C., working at the Academy of Microbiology. Since graduation she has also been stage manager and lighting designer for Silver Spring Stage, New American Repertory Theatre, and her church. Earl Plante is working as the development director for the HIV Law Project in New York City, an agency that provides free legal and social services for lowincome people with HIV/AIDS. Before this Earl worked for the Maine Won't Discriminate Campaign as House party director, the Empire State Pride Agenda as program coordinator and Funders Concerned About AIDS as director of finance and administration. You can reach Earl at eplante@hivlawproject.org.

I have so much more to tell you! Keep writing—it's so great to hear from all of you! Take care.
