1997

Aloha from Hawaii! As I sit here on vacation writing this column under a sunny sky watching the clear blue water crash against the pristine shore, I wonder why I live in New York. It must be the bagels.

On to the news. Congratulations to Tony Field and Karin (Chesebro) Field on the arrival of their son Quentin Alexander, who was born on October 18. He weighed 5 pounds, 9 ounces and was 19 1/2 inches long. Quentin joins 2 1/2-year-old sister Vanessa.

Tony wrote: "Karin and Quentin were home from the hospital within hours and are both in excellent health. Sleep has recently been re-introduced into the family routine, which is most welcome. We live in Toronto. I run a Web application consulting company with my brother and Karin has put her career as a Montessori directress on hold to take care of Quentin and Vanessa. We're looking forward to reunion this summer!"

Sashi Bach Boruchow lives in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with her husband, Lee. They will celebrate their second anniversary in April and recently settled into a home on the ocean. Sashi is a partner practicing commercial litigation at the law firm Boies, Schiller & Flexner. She visits Boston fairly often and there sees Leah Capalbo and Liz Lajoie, who she said are doing great.

Amy Semet left practicing intellectual property law at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett to embark upon a career in academia. She is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in political science at Columbia University and plans to teach.

She wrote: "My research interests still lie in law-related issues. The new movement in legal scholarship is to do interdisciplinary work and to do empirical legal studies. In my Ph.D. program I am specializing in judicial American politics with a minor in quantitative methods (statistics mainly and game theory). This of course means I've had to take math this term, which I haven't taken since high school (and a class I avoided taking at Dartmouth!). But it's been good so far and I hope it will give me more methodological tools to use to research law-related issues."

Matt Carluzzo has also forged a path out of legal practice. The former Washington, D.C., corporate lawyer is now the dean of Cook Commons, one of five residential commons at Middlebury College, each housing more than 400 students. Matt administers daily operations and handles residential issues and academic and personal advising. He came to Middlebury in 2006 as an AmeriCorps Volunteer in Service to America to help bring low-income individuals and communities out of poverty.

Here is an excerpt from a profile of Matt from the September 19,2006, issue of The Middlebury Campus newspaper:" 'I had always wanted to do some type of service work. I love this area of the country. I wanted to be on a good college campus,' Carluzzo said. 'Middlebury met all three of these requirements for a place to work.

" 'The time that I got to indulge in everything was in college,' Carluzzo said. 'My mentor, Mr. Santarelli, once told me that all my important learning would happen outside the classroom.'

"In keeping with that advice, Carluzzo said that he did most of his learning from his friends during late-night discussions. He particularly enjoyed learning about and participating in the traditions of Dartmouth, including acting as president of his fraternity, Psi Upsilon."

Does reading a bout your classmates make you nostalgic for your college days? Catch up with old friends and make new ones. Come to our 10-year reunion on June 13-15. Visit www.dartmouthiothreunion.info for more information and to register. Mahalo!
