1992

I’m writing this in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Irene, so I hope all is well with everyone who was in the path of the storm. We got lucky in my part of Philadelphia—power was out for, oh, 30 seconds or so. That was it. I’m hoping everyone else had the same kind of luck!

Before I get started on updates, let’s talk 20th reunion! I hope that you have already marked your calendars for June 15-17, 2012yup, like eight months from now—for our (gulp) 20th reunion. We have a great committee hard at work to make sure that we all have fun reconnecting in Hanover and that we have plenty of opportunities to make new friends. We are planning family events and adult events, and as always the College has ample child-friendly programs and babysitting options so you can bring everyone! Make plans now to start next summer back at our fair alma mater. We can’t wait to see you!

Got a note from a proud niece, Steph Gagnon, letting us know that her aunt, Tricia Gagnon, got married on June 11 to John Smith. Among other Big Green alums at the wedding were Kelly Kruse, Kim Davis, Sue Maclennan, Christie Goodale, Christine Neuhoff and Jen Bergeron. Congratulations, Tricia!

You probably saw this in the last issue— apparently the good people at “Seen & Heard” have a later deadline than I do—but Brian Ellner got some love for his efforts spearheading the movement toward gay marriage becoming legal in New York. Brian led the charge for the Human Rights Campaign, while Annie Sundberg ’90 filmed a series of ads. If you haven’t already checked them out, you can see them at www.hrc.org/ny4marriage.

I also want to congratulate David Benioff for the 13 Emmy nominations for HBO’s Game of Thrones. As many of you probably know, the series is based on the George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series of fantasy novels, and was created for TV by David and D.B. Weiss. It’s another feather in David’s already-full cap!
