On the 83rd day of the year about 20 ’83s in the New York area convened at the Dartmouth Club in Manhat-
tan for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. Most were from the New York area, but some guests from out of town were also spotted. Attending were Joe Dempsey, Ned Ferguson, Kate Drislane Howe, Andre Hunter, Kelly Fowler Hunter, Jeanne Korlitz, Debbie Michel Rosch, Dave Friedensohn, Mac Gardner, Jessica Rosenberg Brown, Roger Baumann, Peter Larsen, Andy Davilman, Peter Ham, Rick Stafford, Melanie Law Shugart, Jim Sterling and Dan Rodgers. Everyone had a great time and it’s rumored that this may become an annual event. Classmates also gathered in Boston a few days earlier at the home of Shelley Drake Hawks and her husband, Jim. Also in attendance were Kathy Hoes, Jim Gregg and his wife, Connie, Rob O’Neill, Walter Foster, Bobby Goldman, Jenny Cheshire Hus- sin and Sheila Kirby Zinck and her husband, Bob ’79.
Our virtual reunion was somewhat successful. Pictures were posted on Facebook by Tina Poulter, Liz Mueller, Becky Wolcott Ankeny, Melissa Kaish, Jessica Rosenberg Brown, Debbie Michel Rosch, Bill Cossaboom, Walter Foster, Dan Gelb, Tom Hastings (who I just noticed wrote “’83” on his forehead for extra bonus points!), Joel Reidenberg (who posed with his freshman banner for extra bonus points!) and yours truly with Amy Haigh Fassett.

Jessica Rosenberg Brown, Robin Henning Rochi, Lore Serra and Beth Hovey joined Pat LippoczyHedley at a benefit dinner for Reach the World. Reach the World is a nonprofit that brings the world into the classroom through travelers who email with students. Pat’s on the board of direc- tors. The group is also pictured on our Facebook page! Jessica had a busy month. She visited with Anne Albright in Washington, D.C., while Jess was in D.C. for a conference. Anne is an associate judge in Maryland. She and Jess are also on our Facebook page!
Not a whole lot of news this time around. Please send me anything, everything or I’ll make stuff up! Don’t forget to pay your class dues (which pays for our class project and our scholarship student) and donate to the Alumni Fund! Forever green!
