1994

I was very excited to hear from Shauna Fitzgibbons that she and her husband, Gary Culliss, had welcomed Hudson Sullivan Culliss on March 16 in New York City. "Weighing in at nearly 10 pounds, he was discharged from the hospital, walked across the street and promptly enrolled in preschool," Shauna joked in her e-mail. This past spring I packed my boys into the car and we spent a very pleasant afternoon visiting with Shauna and Cos. in N.Y.C. and are hoping for a return engagement this summer.

Shauna also let me know that Michelle Serlin and husband Adam Hittelman had daughter Natalie Pearl Hittelman on May 27 in San Francisco.

And Christina Hieber and her husband, Bill Johnson, had son Liam Andrew Hieber Johnson on April 2 in Arlington, Virginia. On an even more personal note, Shauna passed on the exciting news that her sister Courtney Fitzgibbons and her husband, Michael King, are expecting twin girls in November, which is very cool. Congrats to everyone!

I was also excited to hear from Sari Cohen that she and her husband, Adam Pollak, welcomed the birth of son Ezra Lewis Cohen Pollak on May 8. Andrew and I had tried to get together with the Cohen-Pollaks in April but things just got too crazy, so we've put them on our list of visits, maybe during this fall's Dartmouth Class Officers Weekend. We were thinking it was about time to bring the brood up to the Big Green, to see where it all began, so to speak.

We also recently traveled down to Phila- delphia, where we visited the latest addition of David Cohen and wife Cassie Ehrenberg '95, Leo Ehrenberg Cohen, born April 23. Everyone is doing well and we spent an idyllic May afternoon playing in Three Bear Park and showing our oldest son Danny where we used to live. Now we're just counting the days until our little one Peter and Leo are old enough to make a trip to Sesame Place a possibility.

Thank God for Elise Tillinghast, who recently launched www.elisetillinghast.com, where she's posting examples of her weekly humor column that appears regularly in TheConnecticut Valley Spectator. Since my idea of intellectual these days is reading US Weekly (which I like to refer to as U.S. Weekly to make myself feel better) color me impressed. She adds, "Feel free to offer suggestions about changes to the site and, of course, if you know anyone in the newspaper/magazine/ radio business who might be interested in my incredible writing fabulousness, then by all means send them this link, along with whatever extortion/bribery attempt seems most likely to prevail." I took a look (feeling mighty brainy for doing so, might I add) and encourage you to do the same; her columns are really funny.

And while you're feeling literary after checking out her site, drop me an e-mail and send me some news! Baby news is not required.
