1998

Doctor-to-be Julie Herron wrote in from med school in Nevada. After finishing her masters degree in her home state of Montana, she relocated to Reno for her first year of med school, where "I'm enjoying a little black jack on the side (I wish I was, I'm way too busy). And I want a mini-Dartmouth reunion in Vegas sometime soon."

Danielle Guthrie wrote in from Sydney, Australia, where she moved last June with Goldman Sachs to help build a new equity business after two years in institutional sales in New York. Her move was timed perfectly to allow her to see the Olympics, including Adam Nelson '97's shot put event (which garnered a silver medal). Just before leaving for Australia, Danielle got engaged to fellow alum Teddy Johnson 94, who graduated from vet school and is now working in Sydney. Danielle's former roommate in Manhattan Leigh Lucas also gotengaged...to Graeme Woodworth. The couple now works in San Francisco, where Leigh works for Morgan Stanley. There was something in the water at Danielle and Leigh's apartment because their third roommate Catherine Passano was proposed to by her boyfriend Seth McDonnel soon after Leigh's engagement. Catherine is still in N.Y.C. working for Lehman Brothers, and the fourth roommate in the apartment Sara Tullis left the banking world for Harvard Med School this past fall.

Adam Siegel and Jason Jones were working diligently as editors on the Cornell Law Review, putting final touches on their student notes selected for publication in the November 2000 issue. Jason penned his note on "Prisoner Litigation: The Mistake of Jenkins v. Haubert," while Adam wrote on "Setting Limits on Judicial Scientific, Technical and Other-Specialized Fact-Finding in the New Millennium." After graduation this June Jason will be clerking for U.S. District Judge Joseph L. Tauro in Boston, and Adam will be clerking for U.S. District Judge Patricia A. Seitz in Miami.

Also finishing her third year, Jessica Ellsworth at Harvard Law competed successfully in the 89th annual Ames Moot Court Competition, delivering oral arguments in a mock case in front of Supreme Court Justice David Souter. Jessicas arguments in the fictitious court case, which pitted First Amendment rights against the right to privacy, were delivered so well that the judges named her best oralist. Profiled in the Harvard Gazette along with her teammate after they were named Best Overall team in the competition, Jessica said the experience was "very engaging. It's not quite as 'real-life' training as if you do clinicals, where you actually work with clients, but in some ways it's nicer because it allows you to intellectually engage and there isn't really anyone whose [fate is] hanging in the balance or who will be going to jail if you do something wrong."

Other tidbits: Lincoln Willis has acquired a darling puppy named Sophie, a Boy kin spaniel, who resides with him at his new house in Smyrna, Delaware. I hear Rob Fasani is returning to Dartmouth this spring to finish his engineering degree. Matt Cirulnick showed up in a full-page picture in Interview this past November.

My email address has changed again. Look forward to hearing from all of you in the new year.
