"I'm happy to report that my wife, Christine (Mount Holyoke 91), and I are (part-time) New England residents again," reports David Cote from Chatham, New Jersey. "We recently bought our dream vacation home in Manchester, Vermont. Along with the great summers and winter skiing, we are close to Dartmouth. This past fall we attended our first Homecoming as a family. I'd love to share with everyone that Homecoming is as good as we all remember it from our student days. Our two children Alexandra (9) and Harrison (7) both had a fantastic time. I think marching in the alumni parade on Friday night was the highlight for them. I thought the speeches in front of Dartmouth Hall and the freshmen circling the bonfire were amazing. Glad to report a football win over Columbia the next day. After the game the team knelt in front of the home crowd to sing a rousing rendition of' Men of Dartmouth.' I've been in touch with Heather Jones recently. She owns a recruiting firm in San Francisco. I also got back in touch with Sven Riethmueller, as I made a business trip to his homeland (Germany) and wanted to share the news with him."

Yes, that was Laura Friedman Klein you saw pictured on the cover of the December issue of Washington Lawyer. Her work as the Department of Justice's pro bono program leader was prominently featured in the accompanying article about federal attorneys' pro bono work.

Our 15th reunion (I know—can you believe it?!) chair Zia Daniell Wigder writes: "I'm still working for Jupiter in New York, running a group of analysts that cover the online marketing and media space. Outside of work, I've made a couple of trips to the Middle East recently—earlier in the year I finally got my visa for Iran so traveled there for a week or so, then my family and I went to Israel in February. I'm also working to get an international videoconferencing program off the ground that links young women in New York with young women in the Middle East. Juggling this with work and two kids—a 4-year-old boy and a 2-year-old girl—has been tough, but it's exciting as well."

Hotchkiss School announced that its athletic director and varsity field hockey coach Robin Chandler was named the 2005 Dita/NFHCA High School Regional Coach of the Year for the mid-Atlantic region. This past fall her team was 15-1-1 and won the New England Class A Championship. Under Robins leadership, Hotchkiss is the only team to have won the championship four years in a row. Robin reported in February, "I am headed off to Turin in a few days with Judy Parish Oberting to see some of our former players compete in women's hockey. Jude and Kip have three boys and are living in Bermuda. Stacy Howson and Paul Kinnaly are married and live in Hampton Falls, New Hampshire; Ursula Slate and Mark Bolinger live in Lyme; Sophie Griswold is at Hopkins med school; and Sharon Park is working in China for Citigroup."

More additions to the '91 Bay Area posse: "I have accepted a position at Genentech in the clinical and regulatory division starting March 6," says Todd Young. "Catherine and I are very excited to move to the Bay Area though we loved our brief stint in Washington State. I'll move in a couple of weeks while she will finish up her pediatric work in Mt. Vernon for a few months before moving."
