that the April 23 issue of the New York Times Magazine contains an article about people who have won the lottery. DAVID FONTAINE, the lawyer for one of the winners, is quoted in the piece. Well, that was a lot of news. Keep it rolling, at least until Reunion when one of you can volunteer for the Class Secretary position! Emma is waking up from her (brief) nap.

When I first began my tenure as Class Secretary, I found that the two most common themes were weddings and advanced degrees. However, this time I've noticed a switch to a different category babies! It seems as though many classmates are getting busy making families! Can you believe some of us are someone's parents now? First let me get to those expecting in the near future, or recent past. Included in this group are CHRIS MILES and his wife, Jeannie, who were due sometime last May. NAT PERKINS and her husband were expecting their first baby in July. Former Class President, MISSY BRONZINO, expected her first baby in August. JOHN and Suzie MONTGOMERY are expecting their ·first in September. Also expecting their first baby in September are Clay and GINNYVOGEL YONCE. JUDGE and KATE '86 MCKEE were looking forward to a sibling for their daughter, Taylor, sometime in July. As for recent arrivals ... SKIPPY REDMON BANKER and her husband, ALEX '83 , recently welcorned their second daughter, Sarah, into the world. Skippy and Alex already have a daughter, Carter, who is almost four. OLIVER CARR and wife, BONNIE ALENDER CARR, recently had a baby boy. I did hear of two entries on the wedding front. STEVE POULIN married Joan S. Satz on Aug. 7, 1993 in Darien, Conn. (see wedding photos). Classmates attending the wedding were GREG WILLlAMS, MARIO NETO, TIM ANDERSON, DEBORAH MORAN and JANE KANG. Steve is a manager of Royal Bank
of Canada's U.S.A. securitization group based in New York City, and is responsible for sourcing transactions for a Royal Bankadministered asset-backed commercia! paper funding vehicle which a colleague and he helped to establish. Joan also works at Royal Bank and is a corporate banking associate. In May 1994, Steve completed his nighttime studies and received an MBA in finance from Fordham University Graduate School. Steve and Joan currently reside in Little Neck, N.Y. LISA VAN RIPER was married in May to David Masucci (SUNYNew Paltz '85). Lisa is a managing supervisor of the Atlanta office of Fleishman-Hillared International Communications. David is a freelance commercial photographer in Atlanta. I received a much-welcomed letter from KURT STOUT (who has managed to stay out of Class Notes since graduation), and he proved to be a good source of information. Kurt is currently working in Washington, D.C. for the International Forum. The alumni office informs me that CAROL HELSTOSKY is currently completing her dissertation in Italian history at Rutgers University. In 1993-94, she was a visiting researcher at European University Institute, Fiesole, Italy. She was also the recipient of a Fulbright Fellowship. In 1994, she was the recipient of the Woodrow Wilson Women's Studies Dissertation Grant. The alumni office has also learned that RICHARD MERHIGE is planning a September wedding in northern Spain (see Engagements). They will, however, "continue to live long and prosper in our 'fair city' of New York," Richard notes. Also from the alumni office PHOEBE MCBRIDE participated in a performance at Trinity's Austin Arts Center this past spring. Phoebe has performed both musical-theater and dramatic leading roles in regional theater, summer stock, and in a national tour of Some Enchanted Evening. She has concluded that "acting and singing are essentially the same." In her Trinity performance, she integrated a variety of songs and short monologues from well-known works specially adapted for the evening's "quest for identity." I recently attended the grand opening of Sazarac Grove, a bar and grill owned and operated by three Trinity grads,JOHN EMERY '89,JIM BEAKEY '89 and NED ROWLAND '90. There
NOTES
were swarms ofTrinity people there, but unfortunately not nearly enough from our Class. One of the evening's highlights was DAVE JESSUP's emergence from a long hibernation. He has been cooped up out at UMass AII).herst in pursuit of higher learning. I chatted with ANDY ZIMMERMAN '88 who gave me an update on BOB EDMUNDS and DAVE STEDT. Bob is either working on or has completed his MBA (I forget what Andy told me) at New York University and is working for The New York Times. Dave and his wife are living in Hopkinton, Mass. and Dave is working for his family's trucking business. Other classmates at the fete were ISABELLE PARSONS LORING and JOHN MONTGOMERY. INGRID KOTCH ROWLAND came to visit recently, and she is now officially an M.D. She did most of her fourth year rotations here in Boston, but she and her husband, Michael, will be heading to Philadelphia in June so that she can begin her obstetrics residency and he can continue his orthopedic residency. As for me, I recently turned 30 (I'm sure many other '87ers recently met with the same fate). Definitely made me feel old - 30years-old, eight years out of college, 12 years out of high school, two kids, a house in the 'burbs this old gal ain't no spring chicken any more. But to help gloss things over, my husband, MURPHY, planned a surprise birthday party for me in Palm Beach and recruited a good group ofTrinity friends to come help me forget my woes. BILL and LISA DETWILER, PETER and BIZ '88VOUDOURIS,JOHN and Suzie MONTGOMERY, and a handful of other good friends and family members were there for three days of golf, tennis, sun, swimming, eating and drinking (and no kids!). The weather was perfect and we all had a ball. And now for the "game show" part of Class Notes .. .I am going to randomly pick 12 classmates and if your name comes up, you have to write me with an update. Okay? So, where are you ... SARAH COUCH,JEB DOGGETT, NANCY HOCHSTIM, LAUREN LOVETT, PAUL MORICO, LUCIUS PALMER, TOM ROOKS, MARIA RODRIGUEZ, CHRIS SANDEN, ALEX STEIN, KATIE TOPPER,JIMMYYU? As for the rest of you ... please write or call! Nanny Tellier VanderVelde 48 Radcliffe Rd. Wellesley, Mass. 02181-6623

Spring has sprung ... at least here in Boston, and I haven't even seen the Reporter from my last "essay" and here I am writing another. Apologies to all who seem to have to wait a year to see their news; the deadlines seem to come directly before you all get the news in to my tiny mailbox. As the days get longer, so do the work hours, but looking in my Trinity file, I seem to have gathered a lot of news from all of you ... so here goes. First (and foremost of course!) is the news from right here in Boston. HOLLY DAVOREN DEWOLFE is building her first home with husband, Mike, in Bradford, Mass. They should be moved in by May - when they also expect their first child. Also, Holly is in her second semester at Suffolk University, pursuing a master's of science in human resources, while also working for Enterprise RentA-Car as recruiting department manager for all of Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. DIANE MANNING ABE and her husband, Dave, purchased their · first home and are living in Arlington, Mass. Diane is finishing her master's in higher education administration at Boston College, and works there as well. Ran into KEVIN CHARLESTON on the street recently. He works here in Back Bay and he and his wife are expecting a baby. LAURIE CARLSON is working at Harvard Community Health Plan and is living in Brookline and travels to Italy a few times each year for vacations. The biggest Trinity social event of the winter was the opening of Sazarac Grove Bar & Grill in Cambridge, Mass. Owned by JIM BEAKEY '89 and JOHN EMERY '89, this new hot spot hosted a great party in March, which featured special Boston appearances by out-of-towners such as DAVID MCNAUGHTON and ROB REISKIN. Local '88ers showing support for the boys from AD includedJOANNE PALANDRO, JULIE SHUTT, NANCY SPALDING, BOB FARNHAM, MATT and GINNY SPAHR KEATOR, DON FREYTAG, ANDY ZIMMERMAN and DAVID LEMONS. It felt a lot like
