1982

For those of you who were unable to attend the reunion weekend this past June, Corinne Heyes, Steve Whiteley and I are your new class secretaries. We are eager to share your news with the rest of the class so e-mail us away!

Despite the torrential rain which hampered our ability to gather information on what you all are doing these days, I managed to pick up pieces of news as I ran from event to event under my umbrella. Curt Reed coached Gina Kunz Podlesak's son in lacrosse in New Canaan, Connecticut; Eric Miller was Sherri Carroll Obergs daughters basketball coach in Wellesley, Massachusetts (a marked improvement over Sherri's attempts at instructing her daughter); and I had the pleasure of coaching Steve D'Antonios daughter in lacrosse in Garden City, New York. Shaun Rai, recently retired, is now coaching soccer in the New Canaan area, where he may run into Laura Murray Dobbins daughter in the junior leagues. In a few years maybe he'll be coaching his newborn daughter. Do we have some future Big Green stars in the making? Speaking of sports, Steve Faber's daughter is playing a lot of competitive junior tennis these days and they travel from their Minnesota home frequently to junior tournaments all over the country. Overheard in Alumni Gym were Corinne and Steve discussing their knee surgeries performed by the same doctor at Mary Hitchcock Hospital in the Dark Ages of sports medicine.

At the class dinner at the Top of The Hop, I dined with Kathy Briscoe Plenge and 8-month-old daughter Kathryn, who were in from Manhattan Beach, California. Also at our table was Cathy Judd-Stein, whose son plays lacrosse and who travels from her Boston home as far away as Long Island to watch him play. Also caught up with Libbet Waterman McKeon, who, with her husband and three daughters, recently quit her Brooklyn home and internal medicine practice in New York City and moved to Red Hook, New York, where they bought a farm and now tend to their livestock while Libbetworks part-time in a local clinic.They hope to stable horses one day. Glenna Waterman was in from Boston, where she works in computer graphics. The horse thing must run in the family, as Glenna owns a horse and spends a lot of her free time riding.

Sheila and Kent Cooper and their three children traveled to Hanover from Austin, Texas, where Kent is a patent attorney. Karen Masterson Dienst flew in from San Francisco, California, with husband Sedge and children. Christopher, age 11, emphatically announced after a game of pong in AD's basement that he was definitely pledging there; as of press time, daughter Callie, age 13, was noncommittal about her Greek aspirations. Ann MacAffer drove up from Albany, New York, where she works in real estate. Ann and Crashy Zacher Brown left Hanover only to meet up again in Paris a few weeks later where they saw the Rolling Stones three times in between shopping sprees on Rue Faubourg St. Honore!

While I was roaming around trying to stay dry, I managed to meet two classmates for the very first time. On Saturday night I met Steve Zilber, who lives in Cleveland, Ohio, and works at Steris Corp., which specializes in high-tech sterilization equipment used in such emergencies as the recent anthrax scare. On Sunday at the Lebanon Airport I met up with Lawrence Hui, who lives in New York and is a lawyer for Weinberg Kaplan representing hedge funds.
