Three boys, Sandy (10 1/2), Alec (8), Benjy (8)—identical twinsand two girls, Lindsay (4) and Sarah Johanna (13 months). Plus, just in case things weren't loud and crazy enough in our house, we got a dog this spring." Andrew, who is the executive director of the Rutgers University Hillel Foundation, recently received the prestigious Achievement of Excellence Award at the Hillel International Professional Staff Conference, held in Princeton, New jersey. He was the only Hillel director so honored. Citing Andrew as a man of vision and leadership, Avraham Infeld, interim president of Hillel Internation- al, praised Andrews efforts on behalf of Israel Inspires, a yearlong initiative of positive, proIsrael activity at Rutgers University. Infeld noted the highlights of the Israel Inspires campaign that included a community-wide Israel Inspires Rally attended by 7,000 people, featuring speeches by Gov. James E. McGreevey, U.S. senators from New Jersey Jon S. Corzine and Frank Lautenberg and keynote speakers Congressman Arthur Davis (D-AL) and Ido Aharoni from the Israeli consulate, among others.

The year 2004 is the year of the 40th for most of us. Anyone have a good story to tell? I'll start with this one from Liz Fanlo: "My incredible husband surprised me at the Montage Resort in Laguna Beach, California. We were supposed to be there for a cozy weekend for two. But as we were taken to our table at their fabulous restaurant, we were redirected to a party room, where a horde shouted 'surprise' and 'happy birthday!' After the shock wore off, I saw not only my two kids (ages 10 and 8), my parents and extended family members, but also my college roommates and their families. Jessica Cohn Healy and her husband, Doug '87, came all the way from New York, where Jessica has recently resumed full-time work with Goldman Sachs. Karin Bravin and her husband also flew over to the West Coast and brought their two kids, Charlotte and Jackson. Karin and her husband own a very successful art gallery in New York City. Alicia Macri Lindgren and her husband, Doug, also came to celebrate with me. Lynne Ten Hoopen Lear and her husband, Ed '83, drove down from their home in Santa Monica with their two kids. Lynne is working hard as a board member for a new private high school in Los Angeles, which should open next year. I would highly recommend the Montage Resort to any Dartmouth alum with an urge to relax at one of the finest hotels California has to offer."
