1996

Memory is not quite what it used to be.

Amazingly, I heard from Kate (Andrews) Kelly, living in Athens, Georgia, with husband Cole and sons Cole (4), Jack (2) and Luke (6 months). Kate and Cole took a job hiatus to build a Web site for couples to help remember dates, have a running gift wish list and even warehouse sizes and favorite things from sleeve lengths to spa treatments! The site sends random reminders with ideas of little things to do. Check it out www.getinherhead.com.

Tessa (Erickson) Sugahara has been appointed to be attorney-in-charge for the labor and employment department of the Oregon Department of Justice, reported husband Kenji Sugahara '95. Tessa is apparently the youngest AIC. Like the state motto: "She flies with her own wings." Congratulations!

I heard from Maribel (Sanchez) Sandoski and husband Aaron Sandoski that the family is making their home these days outside of Boston. Aaron runs a venture capital firm focused on early stage medical devices and Maribel splits her time between being a mom and running her own graphic design shop. Miles is 2 and they are also expecting their second child, due at the time of this publication.

Melinda (Holl) Young is in Needham, Massachusetts. She is at home with kids Isabelle (5) and James (2), two cats and a dog. They live near a number of' 94 Sigma Nu brothers of husband Tyler Young '94, including Ben Hamar '94 and Bret Wilkerson '94. Every chance they can they get together to impress their neighbors with their pong skills. Tyler continues to work as the VP of finance for Trip Advisor.

Fellow River UGA David Hemmer reminisced about memories in the Cluster, part of which is no more. David writes that he is now an associate professor of mathematics at SUNY Buffalo. He and his wife have lovely daughter Meghan (3) and another baby on the way, due at the time of this publishing. Currently, he is wrapping up a semester sabbatical at Berkeley.

Speaking of the River Cluster, fellow UGA groupie (second floor McLane) Anne Wade Peterson is living in Burlington, Vermont, with her husband, Rob. She says that she is thoroughly enjoying "tractor season" in Vermont as seen through the eyes of her 2-year-old son Miles. Great name, Anne!

Across the pond Michael Lu is with a U.S.based private equity firm in London. An expat for nearly seven years now, he has lived in Paris, London, and Hong Kong during the period. While he does miss the States, particularly given the strength of the U.S. dollar these days, he veiy much enjoys living abroad and may be a "permanent" expat for some time to come.

Updated information from Tracy Canard Goodluck: After Dartmouth Tracy received her masters in teaching and certification in elementary education from the University of Washington, and she taught on the Tulalip, Hopi and Navajo reservations before helping to launch a new charter school in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She is currently the dean of students at the Native American Community Academy, a sixth-through-12- grade college preparatory school based on indigenous philosophy ( www.nacaschool.org). Receiving her Ed.S. in educational leadership from the University of New Mexico in 2005, she is happily married to L.T. Goodluck from Chinle, Arizona.

For those who will be up in Hanover for Homecoming October 17-19, the Dodecaphonics are hosting Fall Fling and will be celebrating 25 years. Hope to see you there. Rah! Rah!
