As you read the next few columns you will find updates from many of our classmates who are working in education, across all fields and age groups; what great diversity of positions and environments within the education field.

Sarah Anderson spent the past lo years in the international wine business, which led her from Napa Valley to Argentina for a few years and then back to Napa. She then moved to Spain, where she spent the last year studying flamenco dance intensively. She writes: "Now I'm back in the Bay Area and exploring different options, including going back to school and working in the international community. Bob Lasher is the executive director of the Leakey Foundation in San Francisco and Elizabeth Klein Frumkin continues to teach at Harvard Law School. Elizabeth and her husband, Peter, have a beautiful son, Charles, born this year. As for former fellow denizens of the Lodge, Peter Rutledge is the proprietor of Norwich Wine & Spirits in Vermont while Carrie Brennan and Mike Mann are both very committed teachers in Tucson."

Ty Hoffman is associate professor of English at Rutgers University and director of the American studies program. His book Robert Frost and thePolitics of Poetry came out recently and won the South Atlantic Modern Language Association Studies Book Award for the best scholarly book published in English in 2001. He also won a Board of Trustees Research Fellowship for Scholarly Excellence as one of the university's most distinguished young faculty members. He's associate editor of The Robert Frost Review and editor of the electronic Whitman Studies/American Studies journal The Mickle Street Review. Currently he's also serving as director of the graduate program in English. He and his wife, Lynn, have two kids—Noah (6) and Sam (3)-and live in Haddonfield, New Jersey.

Kristi Heesch is also working at the university level. She graduated last December with a doctor of public health degree from the University of Texas School of Public Health at Houston. She then became an assistant professor of health promotion at the University of Oklahoma in Norman this past August. She notes: "I love my job and living in a college town. Moira Redcorn is also in Norman, taking classes that she needs to get into medical school. She is doing great, playing rugby with the OU women's rugby club and studying hard. I hear periodically from Sue Drake, who is in Mongolia with the Peace Corps."

From Dan Lewis: "I found my way to classroom teaching through outdoor adventure education, having spent eight years working for schools such as Outward Bound and NOLS, a career direction that definitely has roots in my time at Dartmouth. I returned to Massachusetts about five years ago to go to Tufts graduate school and now I teach eighth-grade English in a public school in Southborough, Massachusetts. My wife, Clare, and I live in Natick, Massachusetts, with our two kids, Elizabeth (3) and Henry (1). Life is good."
