" Steven Chin w rites with a big Class update from NYC: "I was promoted to associate at Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein earlier this year. In addition to work and prepar ing for the LSAT, I have taken posts with the admissions office to interview Trinity applicants and recruit prospective students at high school fairs in New York. Living in the West Village of Manhattan, I recently ran into Emily Polito (another West Villager) for the second time in a week after her brunch with Juli Tomaino (in her fmal year at medical school in Philadelphia) and Diana Hyde (newly relocated to the East Village) and even better than ever. "While Diana's nine-to-five is occupied as a private banker at US Trust, her after-hours rime is spent as a director of Minds Matter-a not-for-profit outreach program that helps lower income students with the college application process. Attendees at Diana 's birthday last July included Nick Palladino and Mat Wong . "Constantly putting out fires, Stephanie Olijnyk is at a new public relations firm, the PR Consulting Group. H appy to be back in Midtown after her firm's layover downtown, Stephanie is that much closer to the apartment on the Upper East Side she shared with Martin Mihov '01 , who, this fall , started business school at Harvard. Jessica Ripple-back in New York after studying theater in London for the year is busy auditioning for the stage and film Oook for her in an upcoming Verizon spot). Jessica was just recently cast in the Royal Shakespeare Festival's tour beginning winter 2005. Stephanie, Jessica, and I (and company) most recently wound down the summer together at an end-of-the-season blast at their share on Fire Island. Now officially a D.D.S., Rachel Lorenz, graduate of H arvard D ental School, just celebrated her one-year anniversary in August with her husband, Paul. We all look forward to R ach's visit to NYC in D ecember to celebrate the holidays. Also involved in the N ew York mix are Ashley Caldwell '01 , w ho recently moved down from Boston for work/ grad school; Katherine Ainsworth '99 , launching of her jewelry collection; and Ms. Media, Sylvia Chan '01. Melissa (Church) Figueroa , still in DC after her master's, has recently purchased a home with her husband, Manny, where she works for a majo r consulting fmn. We also hear that Eric Scata has begun graduate school at NYU this fall." Paul Nunez writes, " Living in N ew Haven and still working as a lobbyist at the Connecticut General Assembly. Still hang out with a lot of my Trin crew. In New Haven, Seth Poole '01 ; N ew York: Dan Rivera is working in media sales; Adrian Salonga has ac hieved his life long dream of getting into the 'industry.' Congrats, Aids! Wes Campbell '01 and Darren King '01 are doing well. Shout outs to Laird, Dave D. (aka Cheddar Bob), and Hardy. James Younger '03 has relocated to Philly and says he loves dem cheesesteaks!" Johanna Tighe writes, "I am still in Barcelona, working for Trinity as the on-site director of their campus here.

Have been traveling a lot for work and pleasure, which has been my favo rite aspect. I see a lot of Christian Allen (Tripper) and Gail Davie. Tripper is over here for just over a year and Gail is working for Coutt's Bank. We have all had a number of visitors from our Class, including Elizabeth DiGiando, Melissa Gilooly, Alissa Sexton, Adam Howarth, and soon Adam Goldkamp ... Tripp er, Melissa, and I also met up with Lucie Leblois and Ramsey Baghdadi this sununer in the French alps for a few days of hiking, etc. It was amazing.
