After 25 years and three or four careers Dave Wallinga writes that he left the Hanover Plain to travel in Africa for a year and a half. He returned to earn his medical degree at the University of Minnesota along with Ceci Premer and another 83 named Steve. Later, Dave followed with an M.A. in public affairs from Princeton (with Rob Graf and John Hall). He spent time as an urgent care physician, then transitioned to a public policy fellowship in Washington, D.C., then performed a stint with the Natural Resources Defense Council as a watchdog for children's health issues and then, most recently, came back to the Midwest to the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy, where he is serving as the director of the food and health program. He is married to Elizabeth Hayes (University of Wisconsin '86) and they have two daughters Lucia (6) and Julia (2). He concludes: "I see E.J. Kelley about [the Twin Cities] and once ran into Andrew Hoye on the elevator of the Mexico City embassy. My travels and e-mails keep me in touch with Kris Thomas, Tracey Weatherby, Dana Albert, Chris Koller, Stephen Coppola and Bruce Greenwald, as well as with several classmates also engaged in work around sustainability issues, including Peter Forbes, Edie Farwell, Dianna Wright, Matt Wilson and others." Thanks, Dave!

Peter Ham sends greetings from London, where he moved in 2003 on an "extended LSA," so to speak. He reports that his wife, Lisa, and "the girls" are enjoying Eurolife. Peter works for ÜBS, running their London derivatives and structured products business "vindicating remedial math 1 and 2 in freshman fall with Roger Morrison." He claims that his "free-range chicken venture in our Kensington basement is thriving." Ask him about that at our 25th, which he plans to attend.

Finally, some news from a fellow Manhattan resident, Dan Rogers. He is a partner at Watson, Farley & Williams, a law firm based in London, with offices all over the world, specializing in asset finance and shipping. After graduating from Tulane in 1989 along with Eric Valley and his Sigma Nu brother Tee Rowe, he did a clerkship with a federal judge in Louisiana and worked for six years with the firm of Phelps Dunbar in New Orleans, not necessarily in that order. He signs off by saying that: "I stay in contact with Mr. Valley, who has taken to competitive swimming once again and is quite successful at the national level, and also with Sigma Nu brothers Dave Hendren (who runs his own VC firm, Catalyst Partners), Byron Kalogerou (who works at Dewey LeBoeuf in Boston) and Paul Pasquerella '84 (whose thoughts can be read from time to time in the Daily Kos). lam also on the alumni board of directors of Sigma Nu and I come up to Hanover about once a quarter for board meetings—and it just drives me nuts that I can't get an ice cold one on tap from a pressurized cooler in the basement. Old enough to play video games, old enough to drink!" Cheers!
