1988

It's almost here! Our 15th class reunion is June 18-20, 2004, so if you haven't already, start making your travel plans and reservations!

Classmates in the news: In July of 2003, Rick Dwight was noted in Inside Business (Hampton Roads, Richmond, Virginia) for his promotion to senior accountant at Wall, Einhorn and Chernitzer PC. Rick joined this firm after 12 years as a Navy flight officer. In the arts, Barbara Rita Jenny was selected to participate in two juried art exhibits for the fall of 2003. "The Human Condition" was held in Riverton, Wyoming, and "Technology in Art" was held in Washington, Pennsylvania. Barbara lives in Exeter, New Hampshire, while teaching art at Phillips Exeter Academy.

The following news came from Sam Braverman: "Jennie (Arlin) and I live in Tenafly, New Jersey, with our children Sarah (8), Becky (6) and Bobby (4). We are in the midst of doubling the size of our 1870 Victorian house, a project over a year in the making and with no end in sight. My criminal law practice, now in its sixth year, is going well. I serve my town in the prosecutors pulpit, and am still an adjunct professor at Pace University Law School, where I teach trial advocacy and coach mock trial competition teams. Jennie is enjoying her status as a retired lawyer, now 18 months away from the job and not missing it at all. She is: a Brownie troop leader, on the towns library board, working on her writing, and the full time cruise ship fun coordinator' for our three kids and their busy, oversubscribed lives. Last summer I went to the All-Star game in Chicago, where I hooked up with Jerry Hughes, his wife, Molly Baldwin Hughes, and their two children (they were expecting their third). I also spoke with Steve Kubiatowski and Justin Hlavin, both of whom are doing well. Last fall I became the treasurer for the Dartmouth Lawyer's Association and invite all my lawyer classmates to join the group.

Mike Freidberg just returned home to Andover, Massachusetts, from a year on active duly in the Navy. "I joined the Naval Reserve 10 years ago, and spent the months following 9/11 watching my colleagues get mobilized and sent to various posts. As they began to return home at the end of their one-year orders, mobilizations for their replacements began, and I found myself stationed in Washington by October 2002. Being away from home for so long was hard on me, but much harder on my wife, Elizabeth, and our two boys, Jackson (5) and Bennett (3), but we realize that we were fortunate in many respects. Even taking into account the D.C. sniper attacks of last fall, I was never close to hostile fire, and I was able to get home for a weekend every few weeks. My friends who were sent overseas, and their families, bore a far heavier burden. The work was challenging and fulfilling: we worked long hours, but it was gratifying to work in direct support of the counterterrorism campaign and to see the results we were achieving. Still, its great to come home."
