1986

I have a little news of my own to share. On January 2, 2001, my husband, Brad, daughter Abigail (aged 3) and I welcomed Ari Sherman Dinerman to our family. He weighed in at 7 pounds, 6 ounces and is a handsome little boy. Abigail loves to hold him and finds his squeaks and expressions quite humorous. She reminds everyone not to brush his hair or poke his eyes. Thank goodness for little favors. Allyson Hutton had a baby girl named Ellie in September 2000. Amy Singleton Adams got tenure at Holy Cross and spent last year on sabbatical. What's more, Amy and her husband, Bill, welcomed Benjamin Goldthwaite Adams on December 7, 2000. He weighed in at a healthy 9 pounds, 1 ounce. Herman Narcho is now a member of the investigation team for the Mine Safety and Health Administration to try to figure out what caused the October 1999 impoundment breakthrough near Inez, Kentucky, which polluted 60 miles of waterway with coal sludge. Dorn Bishop passed along some news from the "Oh no, Dad, its completely baked" file (obtuse allusion to The Graduate). As some may know, for the last 10 years he was an insurance coverage and environmental attorney with a multinational law firm in San Diego (Latham & Watkins). He decided to leave the partnership, however, in order to be an assistant United States attorney in San Diego. "It's an exciting opportunity to do criminal work and jury trials, meet fascinating people and put many of them behind bars," said Dorn. It's also part of Dorn's grand strategy to take as much money as he possibly can and flush it down the drain ("especially the way my tech stocks have been going lately," and he is happy to report that everything on that front is really falling into place nicely). Dorn and his wife, Susan, have two sons, Graham (aged 7) and Miles (aged 3). Both are insane, and both want to go to Dartmouth, even though neither of them knows it yet. According to a holiday card by his daughter, Chris Wolf works at AOL, has a toy car and a beard. The Chicago Housing Authority appointed Todd Gomez as the agency's CFO to direct the agency's first bond issue, a $250-million offering. Todd is the former vice president for fixed income capital markets for U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray. He has an M.B.A. from Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management. Jeff Capwell and his family moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, last summer. Jeff heads the executive compensation and employee benefits practice in the Charlotte office of the law firm of McGuire Wood, LL.P. Jeff and his wife, Cindy, have two children, Jessica (aged 7) and Christopher (aged 6). Anne (Skvorak) Giersch and husband Pat Giersch '89 welcomed Connor on November 13, 2000. The Gierschs moved back to the Boston area from Seattle in August. Anne works at Brigham and Women's Hospital doing genetic research on human hearing disorders. Ya gotta give a hearty rouse to Katie (Brown) Blackburn, who is the executive vice president of the Cincinnati Bengals franchise. After a short stint with a Cincinnati law firm, Katie joined her father and her brother in the Bengal's office in 1991 and gradually assumed more and more responsibility. She and her brother represent the third generation of the Brown family to have controlled the Bengals since the team joined the NFL in 1968. Katie and husband Troy Black-burn, who handles business development for the team, have two daughters, ages 7 and 5.
