From the Office of Alumni Relations (they're kind enough to forward news items and random reports that trickle into the College) comes the following: Gregory Walsh has completed his legal studies at Duke University's School of Law and accepted a position with Baker & Hostetler LLP in the firm's Denver, Colorado, office. While at Duke Gregory was lead editor for the Duke Journal of Comparative and InternationalLaw and a senior staff writer for the Duke Law andTechnology Review.

Lea Goryn '00 was kind enough to write in to tell us about a mini-reunion of sorts that occurred earlier this year in Lima, Peru: "Over bocaditos and typical Peruvian pisco, a group of alumni living in Lima shared an evening full of Dartmouth memories, laughter and experiences. It was an interesting reflection of Dartmouth through the years, especiallywhen seen (as it was) from an international perspective. Present were Fortunato Quesada '51, Pablo Lozano '59, James Vreeland '7l, Susana Elespuru '77. Ziggy Mandel '93, Guillermo Miro Quesada and Nicolas Rodriguez 02. The group is planning, among other things, to host a get-together in honor of a group of current Dartmouth students traveling the route of Che Guevara recounted in The Motorcycle Diaries." Keep us posted, Lea, on what sounds like a nascent Dartmouth Alumni Club of Lima!

I had a chance to catch up with Chad Woodman recently at a concert featuring hipster rock bands Louis XIV and The Killers. Chad is living and working in Durham, New Hampshire, and counting the days until next ski season. For the last several years Chad has passed his winters in Alta, Utah, and has designs on skiing 300-plus days in 2006—he plans to follow his next fall/winter sojourn in Utah with a summer spent skiing at a yet-to-be-determined location in the Southern Hemisphere (where it will be winter, of course). All of which begs the question: What the heck am I doing busting my hump as an associate in a big law firm when I could be spending the better part of the year skiing instead?

Grant Chang sent in a brief e-mail to let us know that he's living in Rochester, New York, writing and creating computer animations for a video game company. He quipped: "Real mature stuff, I know, but it's a living." Indeed it is, Grant. Indeed it is.

On an administrative note, I'd like to bring to your attention that the DAM editorial board and the Alumni Council have determined that, due to cost concerns, future issues of this magazine will be sent only to "eligible classmates." An "eligible classmate" is someone who has done one of the following within the past 10 years: (1) made a gift to the College; (2) paid class dues; or (3) attended a class reunion. The procedure for determining who is and is not an "eligible classmate" will be as follows: The Office of Alumni Relations will produce an "eligible classmates" list for each class on an annual basis (before class rosters are finalized), and these draft rosters will be circulated to class treasurers and secretaries to insure that the class leadership has the opportunity to add back classmates who may have fallen out of eligibility for an unusual reason.

Finally, as most of your have probably heard by now, we lost a gifted musician and truly special classmate earlier this year when Joe Nagraj succumbed to cancer. Christine Cuoco has been kind enough to compile a photo tribute to Joe that can be accessed from any computer with Internet access at: www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=vbbsomf.8k72lxjn&x=1&y=sf87is.
