As we are heading toward summer, I decided to include some memories of Sophomore Summer at the Big Green. Some of my most memorable moments were swimming in the river every morning with Jane Blans- field Finch before 7:45 a.m. organic chemistry and jumping off the bridge into the river with a group of friends. Others also had river memories. Kim Ogden Huntowski reminisces about rope swinging with a group of friends. Although not a wild success at the rope swing, Kim has succeeded in many subsequent ventures. Today Kim resides in Sudbury, Massachusetts, with her husband, Frank, and two sons. Kim currently has left her job at Bain (after a number of sabbaticals), which allows her to focus on Alex (13) and Brandon (12). In addition she is keeping busy working with Agape International (Agape means Gods Love). The primary focus of Agape is to provide a home, food and love to those orphaned by AIDS in the Third World. Agape currently operates in India providing orphanages, medical care and education. They plan to expand elsewhere in Asia.
Tom Callahan's summer memories also include the outdoors and swimming. He fondly recalls jumping off the 60-foot ledge at the copper mines to swim in the beautiful cold water. Tom is still a daredevil today. He is currently working in the U.S. Diplomatic Security Office Antiter- rorism Assistance Department. His recent trips include Afghanistan, Iraq and Columbia (not exactly vacation spots these days). His job focuses on creating specialized counter terrorism emergency units. On one of his recent trips to Iraq and Jordan, Tom found himself meeting with Ted Cooperstein, the U.S. Department of Justice representative. When not traveling Tom lives in Alexandria, Virginia, with his wife, Kathy Gord Callahan '86, and their two daughters, Grace (6) and Claire (3).
Stephen Bradley promised to try to think of some sophomore summer memories—but claims they were all a little fuzzy. He was nice enough to update me on his current goings on. He was just promoted to president and CEO of his firm, Revonet, in New Canaan, Connecticut. Revonet has a huge database of business-to- business buyer information that they use to find and target new customers for large tech compa- nies. He also recently participated in the 17th an- nual Bersell Cup—a Dartmouth alumni annual bowling tournament (which now includes kids) held in Fairfield County, Connecticut. Classmate Michael Marriott took the top honors this year with a record score of 215.
Jim Collins wrote from his house on Orange Pond, 20 miles east of Hanover. He and his wife, Kristen, have two children, Ursula (5) and Virgil (1). Ursula is skiing from the top at the Skiway. Jim left his job as editor of Yankee magazine in the fall of 2001 and has been writing and parenting full time ever since. His first book, The Last BestLeague, is about the Cape Cod Baseball League and was scheduled to be out March 2004—so look for it. He will be shifting his focus to par- enting while his wife starts researching and writing her book about the Indiana high school marching band scene. They will be in Elkhart- RV capital of the world—and welcome anyone coming through on I-90 to give them a shout.
