1991

This column brings greetings from Alex Kapp Horner, who continues her acting career in Los Angeles. At this writing Alex can be seen on CBS' primetime show,-The New Adventures of Old Christine, which, as Alex puts it, "could very well be cancelled before the magazine comes out." Let's, hope not, as she is our class celeb who—get this—traveled to Kuwait and Iraq over New Year's to entertain the troops as part of the Stars for Stripes program. It was, she said, a "life-changing, incredible experience." You can see a video journal of her trip at www.cbs. com/primetime/old_christine. Alex and husband Christian Horner 93 have two daughters, Jane (7) and Ava (5). They spend summers in Maine, which, she says, makes living in Los Angeles a lot more bearable.

Of course, there is some baby news to include. Vicki Hall Gmelich and her husband welcomed Luke Thomas Gmelich in February. Luke can look forward to caregivers galore! He joins a household of sisters—Caroline, Ainsley, McLane and Parker. Sadly, Luke won't have the good fortune of knowing his brother Teddy, who passed away in 2002.

Sue Shankman Namath found time from what sounds likes a shockingly hectic life to send good news—the arrival of baby No. 3, Evie Ruth Namath, who arrived in December. Evie joins big sis Isabel (71/2) and brother Jacob (41/2). In Sue's "down time" she works as a rabbi at the Washington Hebrew Congregation in Washington, D.C., where she has performed Dartmouth weddings, Dartmouth alum baby-namings and bar and bat mitzvahs of Dartmouth alums' kids. Sue mentioned that she sees Michelle Greene Bordoff, Laura Friedman Klein and Kathy Flynn Lawson on occasion.

Speaking of Michelle Greene Bordoff, she wrote with baby news as well. Michelle and husband Jason welcomed their second babe, this time a boy. Ethan Greene Bordoff arrived in October 2007, adding a happy new dimension to the life of big sister Molly, who is 3.

Michael Yu wrote from Dayton, Ohio, where he works in private practice with Urology Associates of Dayton. He also teaches as an assistant clinical professor of surgery at Wright State University.

And finally a newsy brief from Odie Harris, dateline Atlanta. She is a neurosurgeon and assistant professor of neurosurgery at Emory University. She is also chief of service at the trauma hospital there, "a bit Grey's Anatomy" she said. Married for 10 years, Odie also has two daughters, 4 and 2.

Incidentally, at the close of her note to me Alex asked if anyone else has noticed that "we're getting older a lot faster now? I mean, how did we get to be this old?!" Ain't that the truth? Forty is just around the corner! I took some comfort, however, in overhearing two 60-somethings at the Apple store (they were buying iPhones) saying that 65 is the new 40. Does that mean that 40 is the new 20? We can only hope. However old you are feeling, send me some news. It is fun to print and your classmates dig reading it.
