2005

Happy spring, '05s. I hope these notes find you all well—don't forget to keep sending them in.

I recently met up with Davey Archwamety, who just moved to the Bay Area from San Diego, California, to attend culinary school at the City College of San Francisco. We had dinner with Eric Robinson and Hsing Liao. Eric recently returned from two years teaching English in Japan (through the JET program) and is now a "casual video game designer" with Lycos—he was in town attending the Game Developers Conference. Hsing was interviewing for jobs in consulting, after spending some time since his last job traveling.

I spent some quality time with Kirstin Ellison in D.C. recently—she has a new job as a researcher at Media Matters. We had what turned into quite a mini-reunion with Sylvia Chi (who is studying law at the University of Maryland and just adopted a puppy with her boyfriend Jon Lesser), Kate Schuerman (who is at law school at Georgetown) and Hunter Brooks '06.

Eric Robinson tells me that Mike Swift works on embedded graphic acceleration at Apple, working on the iPhone/iPod Touch, iPods, among others. For those of you who, similar to myself, don't speak "computer," that references the touch-screen scrolling.

Eric Curtis is now working as a software engineer at Quia.com, a company in the Bay Area that works to "improve education through Webbased technologies."

A documentary, Sons of Lwala, was premiered early this spring about the work of Fred Ochieng and his brother Milton '04 to create and run a clinic in their home of Lwala, Kenya.

Hunter Brooks '06 tells me that Maggie Berthiaume is coaching debate—Maggie, I'd love to hear more about this!

Nicole Yokum has been back at Dartmouth and living in Norwich, Vermont, studying creative writing with the MALS program, but left in February to study at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. When she returns she'll be working "with women and adolescents in a treatment center, recovering from alcohol and chemical dependencies."

Jenny Goransson is getting her master's and teaching certificate from George Washington University and is working at Springfield, Virginia, High School while taking classes. She "really truly" loves being a teacher. Otherwise she has been "trying out a little slam poetry, playing some rec soccer, enjoying D.C.s theatre scene and occasionally training for one race or another." Quite a lot on your plate, Jenny!

Tim Millikin tells me that Kassidee Kip was accepted into Harvard Business School—she'll begin in the fall.

Tommy Dickie tells me that Thorn Pasculli is living on a farm in Ashfield, Massachusetts, doing theater with Double Edge Theatre. Check out its Web site at doubleedgetheatre.org. Tommy himself is in a play called The Accidental Patriot in New York City April 25-May 17. You can check it out at www.stolenchair.org

Tommy also passed along info that Brent Reidy was in New York late in February premiering his new CD, which features the music of John Cage.

Thanks for your notes, everyone! Please keep sending about you and about your friends. I'll be in touch with a random selection of you soon to solicit more notes—so preempt me and send them in!
