1982

Donna Halverstadt is slumming with royalty in England, at least indirectly. According to hospital rumor, she gave birth to her near-pubescent boy (10 pounds, 1 ounce, and two weeks early!) in the same room that Princess Diana delivered William and Harry. Donna has been living and working in London for the past two years. She reports that she absolutely loves playing mom to Luke Harper.

Rolan Young continues to love life in New Haven. She reports she is continually tripping over '82 alums. She notes that Betsy (Kingsbury) Dowd is almost finished with law school—she wants to be a patent lawyer. She gave birth to a set of twins last May and seems to be doing well. Rolan is a partner in the firm Updike, Kelly & Spellacy, and will also be a visiting lecturer in law at the Yale Law School next year—working with the law school's housing and community development clinic. She hears that Angela Santini has her own practice (Arthritis & Sports Orthopedics) down in Sterling, Virginia.

Timothy Jarvis spent the past three years in New York City, where he got married to his South African wife, Kate, but he reports that he got stir crazy and had to hit the road again. His previous assignments have been in Luxembourg, London and Hong Kong. In September he will be relocating to Australia with JPMorgan, where he will be running their global custody, fund services and outsourcing operations in Sydney and Adelaide. He sends his apologies to all of those he didn't catch up with during his brief domestic sojourn.

Speaking of the kind of globetrotters that can't hit the three-pointer, Dave Plekenpol reports that he had been exchanging a few short e-mails with Davin MacKenzie regarding Davins fund-raising efforts for his Chinabased private equity firm, iventures, which apparently is gaining momentum with Chinas WTO entry. While on the road, Plek e-mailed him to suggest a rendezvous in the D.C. area, his last known whereabouts. In his e-mail he casually mentioned that he had just landed in Beijing on business. Two minutes later Plek received an e-mail response back from Davin, asking if he was really in Beijing and that they meet for dinner, where Davin explained to him that he has lived in Beijing for the last sixyears with his wife and two chil- dren. Davin had taken Sam Carlson to the same restaurant just three weeks earlier.

After several years at Lucent, Plek joined an optical startup, whose embers were purchased by Alcatel Optronics. Plek seems to have fared well in the transition and is now running sales and marketing for Alcatel s global optical components business. He still lives with his wife and two children near Edinburgh in a Scottish manor house overlooking the Avon River and commutes to Paris weekly. The weather sucks but that's Scotland.

In other news, Gail (Koziara) Boudreaux has recently been named president of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois. She had been at Aetna in Hartford, Connecticut, where she was a senior VP in charge of the group insurance business unit.

In the proud-parents category, James Everett, son of Marie Furnary and W. Ken Everett, was recently named to the All-America high school lacrosse team.

Jay (Yisrael) Rosenberg invites those '82s who come through Jerusalem, where he's been living the past three years, to please stop by and see him. His e-mail is kolhator@netvision. net.il. His 3-year-old daughter, Yael, begins nurseiy school this year while his wife, Orly, is completing her university studies. He says the downturn in the world economy is causing him to be more entrepreneurial in his technical writing and documentation work.
