1990

As you enjoy this spring, this column begins with news of a great '90 achievement that started last spring: Mike Kanarick and wife Liz Kleinberg have hiked the entire Appalachian Trail. Between March 24 and October 11 last year Liz and Mike, both lawyers in Montgomery, Alabama, traversed the 2,178 miles between Amicalola Falls, Georgia, and Millinocket, Maine, to raise more shan $50,000 for the 1,100 affiliated organizations making up the Child Welfare League of America.

' Leaving their jobs and entrusting their home to friends and family, Mike and Liz braved the full range ofweather, blisters, and camp food—not to mention run-ins with bears and snakes—as they made the trip: "It wasn't always easy to summon the energy needed to keep going," said Mike at the end, "but seeing the kids' appreciation makes all the little hardships we've gone through disappear."

Sharing news of her own child-development adventures in Gaithersburg, Maryland, Jessica Silver writes, "I am engaged to my domestic part- ner, Ed Eaton. We will get married in July. We have a 6-year-old daughter, Raina Silver, and a new son, born December 13,2003, Riley David Silver. We're all happy and healthy. We have a house, where we live with two dogs, two cats, a ferret and a green water dragon. I'm doing the stay-at-home mom thing for a while; before Riley was born, I was mostly staying at home but also doing some substitute teaching at Raina's school. Life is good.

From closer to Hanover on the AT, Eric Browne sends this update: 'After nine years in San Francisco and Seattle, my wife, Carrie, and I moved back to New England two years ago. I'm in my eighth year with Onyx Software—found- ed by Dartmouth alums—and living north of Boston. Will (4) and Kate (2) keep us laughing and busy. We see quite a bit of Rich Byron, who works at PWC in Boston; Tom Haines, who covers travel for the Globe; and Jim Wilhelm, who has his own architecture firm in N.Y.C." Eric also notes that the Society of American Travel Writers recently honored Tom with its Lowell Thomas Award, naming him Travel Journalist of the Year for 2003.

Your secretary unexpectedly ran into a class- mate at a recent birthday party in D.C.: Greg Mil- lett lives in Atlanta and works on AIDS vaccines at the Centers for Disease Control while com- pleting his doctorate. In January Greg traveled to Washington along with other friends and family to attend a 40th birthday celebration for Steven Stichter '86, a friend of Greg's from graduate school at Chapel Hill.

On the subject of getting together with old friends, remember that our 15 th class reunion will take place in Hanover on June 18-20: Planned highlights include overnight and day trips to Moosilauke; golf, tennis, and other athletic activities; seminars with faculty and classmates; and two planned dinners. For those of us with families, accommodations will include day care. Your classmates look forward to seeing you in Hanover. In the meantime, enjoy the spring, and drop a line to get the catching-up started.
