My June column reached its word limit before I could share the rest of David Sherwood's note: He and several other D.C.-area '9os have gathered regularly for "sushi night. Steve Wydler founded this tradition, but as he and his wife, Anne, are enjoying a stint in London with AOL, we are upholding the tradition until his return." Steve has replaced sushi with squash, playing with Rich Phelan, a fellow London resident, "whom he claims to beat handily," Dave writes. Back on this side of the pond, other sushi club members include Jeff Bedell, "who is happy to announce to the world that he is engaged to Rachel Perri '94. A fall wedding is planned. Caroline Choi is the final stalwart member of the sushi club. She splits her time between Washington where she works on the Hill for Progress Energy-and

Raleigh, North Carolina."

With any luck, spring and summer have

eased settling into a new home for Ute Bowman Otley, who moved with her family to Charlotte, Vermont. You'll recall from an earlier column that she and husband Brian '89 had pondered leaving the South. A note from Ute in March relayed the message: "We've moved, we're still in boxes, we're cold as hell, we're hardly sane."

Speaking of warmer weather and new domestic arrangements, now comes another installment of wedding news: The New York Times announced that Rob Grossberg married Sloane Gibney on April 7 at the WHotel, Union Square. The groom works as deputy general counsel for online marketers Double Click, and his bride, a University of Delaware alumna, is a designer for Baby Gap. Another '90 at the bar in New York, Joshua Korff, sends word of his engagement last December to Nancy Epstein (Penn '95). Joshua has become a partner in Kirkland and Ellis, his fiancee practices at Sidley Austin Brown & Wood, and the two attorneys have negotiated a wedding in Cleveland this autumn.

Also writing from the Big Apple, former photo editor at The Dartmouth David Greenberg reports that "in May I graduated from the City University of New York with an M.B A.," starting work shortly afterward as an equity analyst at Glenrock Asset Management, a hedge fund. "In more important news, my wife, Sheryl Reich, son Samuel (4 1/2) and I live in New York and are hoping to avoid the move to the suburbs."

Call this item "Pets and the Cities": Transplanted New Yorker Matthew Nadler writes that he and wife Susan Klein have moved to Boston "for at least two years." Matt has joined "a small consulting firm" in the Hub, while Susan, a veterinarian, has entered a residency program at Angle Memorial Hospital near Brookline.

Luckily for your secretary, my mailbag runs over with several great notes. The first I've received recently comes from William Boulware, still working as a lawyer with Wisconsin's Ho-Chunk Tribe. William writes: "Every day brings something new to experience and different people into my life. I was told about a year ago that I won't become a real Indian lawyer until I have been fired at least once. I've survived 16 months within the tribe's judiciary, established in 1995; 30 months in the Department of Justice—litigating employment claims and contracts and negotiating governmental land and environmental agreements; and have come to rest within the legislature, as legislative counsel, where I must deal with politicians. I can't say it's not fun. Handling conversations with state politicians is humorous. Writing testimony and meeting with members of Congress thickens your skin. My favorite part is shepherding requests for political contributions."

More news from William next issue. With hopes that this column finds all of your adventures progressing well, I'll close by requesting mail and sending best wishes for the fall.
