1988

The responses from educators continue to pour in (rest assured, I will publish your update even if you're not in education)! Whether or not you contribute a personal update, be sure to mark your calendar for our 15th class reunion set for June 18-20, 2004.

Paul Christesen is back at Dartmouth as a member of the faculty in the classics department. Last year he finished his Ph.D. in ancient history at Columbia and now teaches ancient Greek history plus various other courses in classical civilization, Greek and Latin. "I spend a fair amount of time traveling to conferences and leading the classic department's FSP to Greece. The last couple of years have been very busy and enjoyable. Being a member of the faculty has given me a different perspective on the operation of the College, and my undergraduate experience here has definitely been helpful in connecting with the students."

Sharon M. (Soucy) McCrone is currently a professor of mathematics and math education at Illinois State University. "I work primarily with students hoping to be high school math teachers, but also with students getting a middle school teaching certificate. I'm in my sixth year here in beautiful, but flat, Normal, Illinois. After meeting at UNH, my husband Matt and I came here from Dover, New Hampshire, in 1997. Stepping back to my early post-Dartmouth days, I taught high school math in Poughkeepsie, New York, for two years before starting my master's at UNH in 1990.1 stayed on for my doctorate in mathematics education, then off to ISU. I have two children, Nathan (4) and Kelsey (2). I hear occasionally from Kim (Fasolo) LoMonaco (now in New Jersey) and Val Fasolo (Phoenix, Arizona) and a bit more frequently from Theresa Menders (Princeton, New Jersey)."

Shaun Martin sends the following update: "I'm about as geographically distant from Hanover as you can get while remaining in the continental United States. I'm a full professor at the University of San Diego School of Law and have been here since 1995. My wife, Sandy Rierson, and I have a 16-month-old daughter, Sierra, and a 10-year-old dog, Kodiak. Domonic Carney, alongside his wife, Tracey, and two children, Sarah and Benjamin, allegedly recently moved to San Diego; he keeps blowing off my e-mail messages, so I thought I'd mention him in an attempt to shame him into getting back to me."

Jeff Green works at Soka University, a brandnew liberal arts college just inland from Laguna Beach south of LA."I was the first psychologist hired a year before the students arrived. We are very small (200 students) but growing. It's been exciting to help develop the curriculum and the vision, and to teach highly motivated students. On the other hand, I'm on too many committees and my research has been largely dormant. I married Jody Davis (UNC, Chapel Hill '95) in June 2002. We had a lovely honeymoon in Spain and Morocco, and just bought a house (with a huge yard for our lab, Indy). Jody also has a Ph.D. in social psychology and she was hired last year at Soka, so planning the psychology curriculum is largely a family affair!"
