job as director of governmental affairs for a large health insurer. The alumni office has heard from Mark Sommaruga , who writes, "I got married on June 29, 2003 in Oliverea, NY, to Ms. M onette Goodrich. To some degree, it is a mixed marriage; she is a Green Bay Packers fan (hailing from Wisconsin), while I am a long time N ew England Patriots season ticket holder. We are now livi ng in Avon, C T. I am a partner with the law fi rm of Sullivan, Schoen, C ampane & Connon. The best man was James O'Loughlin ; also in the wedding party were Keith McCabe (usher) and Nicholas Clifford (reader). Also in attendance with Trinity College connections were Donna Lipcan McCabe, Jonathan Mills '89 (father of four well behaved young children), Victor Schoen '66 , and Salvatore Gangi M'68 (uncle) ." All the best to everyone, and please send me any updates.

Steve has put his engineering degree to use over the yea rs, as he has worked in that field to "support the expenses of their {the boys) youth hockey activities and my fis hing addi ction ." Rich Maloney and his wife, Emily, had their firs t child, son , O wen, in September. Ri ch has pointed out that upon his birth in a Manhattan hospital, the R ed Sox we nt on to win their next 17 of 20 games and, eventually, va nquish the Yankees and win the World Series. Ri ch wo rks in th e legal department of UBS Financial in the home office in Weehauken, NJ. Interestingly, I work at UBS as well (in Boston) as do
fellow '89ers John Germain, Dave Barcomb (who both work on the floor above me) and Barbara Scudder (in New York). At the risk of embarrassing Steve Belber (who is cam era shy despite being in the performing arts), I must report that he wrote a play entitled Ma rch that played ON Broadway this year. I will not list Steve's credits in his field, although they are lengthy and impressive. Of more importance is the fact that he and his lovely wife, Lucy, had their second child, Clementine, earlier this yea r. H er older brother, Toby, is four years old and beginning to make his nam e known around the Brooklyn playgrounds and ballfields. Speaking of my Trinity roommates, Matt and Trina Gandal '88 had their third child, Hannah, this year to j oin older brothers, Alexander and Nicholas.
