About one year from when you read this, we could all be convening for Reunion number TEN! Try to make plans to come back and show off your prosperous waistline, your spectacular children, your receding hairline, etc., (or if you want the rest of us to be insanely jealous, come back and prove you've only improved in every way since 1976). It'll also be a chance to see if all the stuff I write about here is really true! To get people's attention, I've used a bit of poetic license with notes from this quarter, so bear with me. It gets boring just transcribing from xerox copies of the inside of annual giving envelopes. Travels with Trin, a very short story by your Class SECRETARY (please be advised that the story is a lie, but the names are real in order not to protect the guilty): Me and my dog Trin (short for Trin-tintin, of course) were meandering in Stockholm, Sweden the other day when CHARLES ANDREWS, a prosperous banker on assignment for Manufacturers Hanover, stopped us saying, "Hey, aren't you the pair from the Quad looking for class news from the 1976 crew?" "Right," I said, "but how did you know that?" I assumed that his M.B.A. in international business and finance (N.Y.U., 1982) had given him special insight. " We don't see many blue and gold dogs that look like bantam roosters around here," he said. "Vooph," barked Trin, stressing his vowels heavily to show off a recently acquired accent. "So what's new?" asked Charlie. "Well, Trin and I are into doghouse construction these days, so we're checking out architects. I learned from LINDA CHERKAS who is doing research at the Philadelphia Geriatric Center studying the effect of exercise on the elderly, that FRED KNAPP was in Florence, Italy studying architecture for a degree at Syracuse. Trin wants to talk to JOHN BATTLE, too. John has started his own architectural firm in Boston. And then we'll have a meeting with DANIEL LINCOLN who's at Moger Woodson Architects, for the New York perspective. Seeing DEBORAH FILLION will also help, as she is art director for Fine Homebuilding magazine in Newtown, CT. I think we'll also talk with BARBARA CLARK for some media input; she's a field support analyst for USA TODAY in Rosslyn, VA." With that, Trin made another noise that sounded more like a cough than a bark. "That does it," I said, "we're going to Philadelphia right now to see ROBERT (BERT) ARANSON. He wrote and told me that he's going to become director of medical intensive care unit and assistant professor of medicine at Temple University Hospital when he completes his two year fellowship in pulmonary medicine. A few hours later, Trin was on the examining table. Dr. Bert was most helpful, but we decided to get additional opinions from some colleagues about Trin's condition. We called DON REBHUN for an expert in maxillofacial and oral surgery in
