After years teaching literature, literary the ory, composition, and creative writing, and still more years writing textbooks and teaching English as a foreign language, Kip Soteres ended up living in California (where he never thought he'd live) and working in corporate America (where he never thought he'd work). He is the senior writer in employee communications for Cadence Design Systems in San Jose, and hard at work on his novel. He has had several poetry publications over the years and finally decided to see if this writing gig could actually be translated into some money. Seems to be working, for now."

Mary Pavel is a partner at Sonosky, Chambers, Sachse, Endreson & Pe, a firm that practices Indian law. She lives with her husband, Tad, and their dog Daucus (which means "one" in her language) in Silver Spring, Maryland. Maty saw Stephanie (Hurlbut) Acquilano when Stephanie visited Washington from New Hampshire for a conference. Maty also reported news on a number of other classmates: Melanie Blood is a tenured professor in SUNY Geneseo. She is married with two children,a boy and a girl.Alison (Fontaine) Engel is in San Francisco, raising her two children and performing extensive volunteer work. Maty also had lunch with Sarah (Jackson) Han at the National Press Club not too long ago.

Chuck Young and his wife, Lela, welcomed their first child, Natalie Russell Young, on May 8. Chuck predicts a real tug-of-war between UVA (Lela's alma mater) and the College in, oh, about 2017 or 2018. Chuck continues to practice aviation, product liability and commercial litigation at Alston & Bird in Atlanta, and Lela remains an employment litigator at another Atlanta firm— at least until she decides whether to make her maternity leave permanent.

In May Dorothy (Price) Hill moved from London to New York. After living and working overseas for McKinsey and Goldman Sachs for six years, returning to New York with Goldman Sachs took a bit of adjusting. "My husband and I both still have the travel bug and one or both of us may take another international assignment in the years to come!" Dorothy married Robert Hill on May 28 in Winchester, Massachusetts (Dorothys hometown). Family and friends from 12 countries were in attendance, including classmates and friends from Dartmouth's classes of 1987 and 1990. Dorothys two German host sisters (from her Berlin FSP in 1987) also attended and experienced their first New England clambake the day before the wedding. The other exciting news is that Robert and Dorothy are expecting twins! "One is a boy; the other will likely be a surprise for us as he (or she?!) has been consistently shy during scans."

Karen (Rockenmacher) Foney married Bob Foney October 10,1998, on Marthas Vineyard. Classmates in attendance included Apsilah (Owens) Millsaps and Denise (Stahl) Altaffer, who were both attendants. John Olson won the prize for "most difficult trip but still made the wedding." Other Dartmouth alums included Karens dad, Sol Rockenmacher '60, sister Rachel' 84, sister-in-law Stacey (Foney) Ray '92 and Michael Davidson '84. Bob and Karen both work in the Boston area for financial service companies; Karen is a project manager for John Hancock. They've purchased a home in Salem, Massachusetts, and have two Rhodesian Ridgebacks (dogs that are closer to small pony size), and on December 4, 2000, welcomed their son John Winslow Lawrence ("to make life easier we're calling him Jack!").
