Class of 1993 Alumni Fund Goal: $20,000 and 54% participation. Class Secretary: Jonathan E. Heuser, 220 West 26th St., Apt. 606, New York, NY 10001 e-mail: jheuser@babson. edu; fax: 61 7-886-0900 Class Agent: Stephen R. Curley Greetings, once again, to loyal classmates and visiting readers alike. I hope that the latest issue of the Reporter finds you well, or finds you at all, for that matter. If you've moved, changed jobs, or have a new email address recently, make sure that you update the alumni office with your new contact information. Speaking of moving, in September I moved to New York to begin working for JPMorgan, and since then have unearthed a hotbed of Trinity activity in the Big Apple. Nicola and I enj oyed sharing a bottle of champagne with Susan Olsen and her husband, John Rusconi, on New Year's Eve. Susan recently mentioned to me that former eight-woman suitemate Lisa Sequenzia Percival is "close to giving birth. We all (Lynn Wolff, Ashlyn Hiley, Annmarie Fini, Nicole D'Avirro) attended a lovely baby shower hosted by Cassie Burns Chapman in Longmeadow, MA." One of the shower attendees (also a Manhattan resident), Lynn Wolff, caught me up on her latest news as well: "In June I left my job at Institute for International Research. Now, I still work in conference development and marketing but for a wireless technology company called Angelbeat." She goes on to mention that "Amy Morse Rogers and Karalyn Kinsella had baby boys-Amy in December and Karalyn in October." As for Amy, I've seen a few photos ofher new son, Andrew, and he is certainly a sweet looking baby. She is happily ensconced with her newest family member and husband, Scott, outside of Denver. During the December holidays, N icola and I hitched a ride up to Connecticut w ith Jay Akasie and found out more about the interesting work he has been doing for Worth magazine. Jay, for those w ho don't know, was recently elected president of the Trinity Alumni Club of New York-quite an honor for the Class of 1993- we've now got a big responsibility riding on our shoulders. Best of luck in your new endeavor, Jay! In early January, I caught up with my old Trinity crew team colleague, John Graziadei, whom I hadn't seen since the two-and-one-half-year Reunion way back when. John had just returned from a week of skiing in Vail and is enjoying his gig with Morgan Stanley, working in midtown, and living on the Upper East Side, within a few blocks of about 50% of our classmates, it would seem. We had a lively conversation about politics, economics, social policy, and the like over a few drinks ... such a lively conversation, in fact, that some eavesdroppers at a neighboring table felt compelled to involve themselves in our discussion. Just last week I bumped into Alexis Brashich Morledge '90 outside of ¡ Whole Foods near my new Chelsea digs. She was with her two handsome young sons and conveyed sister Audrey Brashich's greetings to the Class. Moving briefly away from New York, at the end ofJanuary I had the chance to catch up with David Riker in San Francisco, and to get updates on his exciting goings on. He has a terrific new job with insurance company St. Paul Companies as the chief strategist for their technology group. Meanwhile, he has found tin1e to get engaged to a wonderful woman named Bella, and looks forward to their wedding in the summer. David is also in touch with a number ofTrinity classmates who have made the move west, including Matt McCabe and Peter Charles '94 . 64

I Spring 2002
That same week, I was also lucky enough to catch up with Piper Skelly and Sara Titus Skelly '94 in Chicago. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner together, and I learned more about ilie progress of Piper's residency and emergent interest in vascular surgery, as well as Sara's developing career interests. Sara and Piper (and let us not forget that Piper is another of my esteemed Trinity crew teammates) have purchased a great two-bedroom condo in a cool part of Chicago with all of the joys and headaches of homeownership that accompany such an investment. Everyone is aware of the departure of Evan Dobelle to the University of Hawaii, but do you know about our own Class'involvement in the story? Alumni office director and classmate Prescott Stewart is following in Mr. Do belle's foots teps and heeding the call of sun and surf. What is it that Honolulu has to offer over Hartford, anyway? We wish them both well with their new challenges. I heard recently from Prasant Sar, w ho is enjoying his career as a government consultant with Ernst and Young, while wife, Alicia, continues building her career as an educator, and little Sophia gets bigger and bigger. Kelley McDevitt-Hooker checked in with some exciting news to share: she and husband, Steve Hooker '92, "have just welcomed our second child, Anne Katherine, who was born on Dec. 17, 2001. Our son, Michael, who will turn two in May, loves 'Katie' and showers her with hugs and kisses.We still reside in Northford, CT, and seem to be quickly outgrowing our cape. Steve is still doing well with Phoenix Investment Partners (after nine years) now as a director, public fixed income. I received my tenure last fall as a fifth-grade teacher in Wallingford, CT, and am now planning to take some time off to spend with my babies, as they grow far too rapidly! We feel blessed to have such healthy and happy children, especially in light of all that's going on in the world." Kelley updated us on a few other goings on in her neck of the (Connecticut) woods. "Chrissy Hewitt Woerz came over for a play-date
