foot Ryder truck and left New York on the first day of spring (rather poetic, I thought). We spent 10 days (I wish we could have taken longer) driving out on the southern route. A good friend of mine from high school lives in New Orleans, so we took a detour to visit h er and various relatives of Stephen's in Texas. The trip was great but I am glad to have reached California. We are currently staying with Stephen's parents in Marina del Rey while we look for a place of our own. Feel free to send notes to the currently listed address, but look for my new address in the next issue! And let me know if you are con1.ing out to L.A. for a visit! I was able to convince my company, Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing, to give me a job as a sales rep out here. I get to work out of my home (and my car) and travel around to bookstores. I have a lot to learn, but so far the job seems great! A few weeks before I left New York, I had one last opportunity to see the NIELDS at the Bottom Line. If yo u don't know whom I am talking abou t or if you aren't on their mailing list, you are missing out! They have quit their "day jobs" and are touring full-time now, so make sure you get out and support KATRYNA! Unfortunately, I don't have the number for you to call to get on their mailing list (it's a really easy number to memorize but I seem to have forgotten it in the aftermath of my cross-country move) but I'll let you know in a future issue. EVE APPLEBAUM KNAPP wrote and told me that she and JON will be moving out to San Diego in June. Eve w ill be doing a family medicine residency at U.C.S.D. and Jon will be doing his internship at Balboa Naval Hospital. Jon plans to go into either emergency medicine or criti cal care. Eve told me that STEVE GALLUCCI and KAREN BEAN were married in late March up in Massachusetts. Congratulations to them both! Also living in California: LAURA DEMKO and MICHAEL HALL.

NOTES
ing and working in the Boston area as well. In January, I got a note from BRIAN SCHULZ. Brian had been working in Washington, D.C. until last July when he left his job to head up to the Amos Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth for his MBA. A week before he was to head up to school, however, h e received a letter from the admissions office stating that too many people had enrolled and offering a year deferral to those who submitted an acceptable proposal on plans for the year. Within days Brian had drafted a proposal to volunteer for Habitat for Humanity in Budapest w hich was accepted by Tuck. Brian is the organizational director at the Budapest affiliate of Habitat for Humanity which means he organizes the business aspect of the national office and enlists local volunteers to serve on committees and boards. The Budapest affiliate is one of over 1,000 affiliates in the U.S. and 42 countries. His office has been open for almost three years and they have completed close to 30 houses in that time. His term there ends in June and he plans to head up to Tuck this fall . Well, that does it for now! Thanks to everyone w ho wrote! Now that I am in California, I will be relying on my mail for news since I won't be bumping into alums - so send me a note and let me know what you are up to! Hope everyone is well ...

m Time again for another edition of Class Notes. I must say, first of all, many thanks to all of you who answered my desperate and pathetic plea. for mail, which I made a few issues ago. I got a couple of letters from some people I hadn't heard from in a. while, and I really appreciate it, so keep up the good work! For instance, SARAH JACKSON sent me a note from her abode in Manhattan Beach , Calif. As of January, Sarah was working on her master's in communication at the Annenberg School for Communication at U.S. C., and she
also works at Golin / Harris, a PR firm in Los Angeles. She sounds very busy, but happy ou t on the West Coast. She also told me that ERIN MARKEY is still in D.C., working for Burson-Marsteller. I also heard from entrepreneur CRAIG DIETTER, w ho has started his own gardening business in San Francisco. His company, "Dietter's Water Gardens," installs waterfalls and fish ponds throughout northern California, and they also have a mail order catalog. Craig has had help with the business from the many Trinity grads h e employs. What's more, if anyone out there is planning on moving west, Craig thinks he should have some more positions opening up this year. Congratulations on your success, Craig! In addition to sharing that good news, Craig had some information to pass on about other '92ers: NESSYTHOMPSON and MARGOT RING are living in San Francisco, as are MIKE MCHUGH and NOAH MACKENZIE '93, an d also REBECCA BURT. DENNIS CORMIER moved out West, but has since moved to Chicago. MIKE PERRONE has apparently been moving back and forth between Chicago and New York City. And in the spring, JOHN ROMEO was finishing up at WNEC Law, while CAMPBELL BARRETT was doing the same at the law school at American University. (I hope they're having better luck finding jobs than I am!) CYNDY NAHABEDIAN sent me a nice letter, giving me an update on life in Chester, N.J. Cyndy is still at Rutgers and w ill have, by now, received her master's in criminology. She has been accepted to the doctoral program in criminology at Rutgers and w ill begin that program in the fall. She continues her work at the Center for Crime Prevention Studies, where she has been promoted to associate director, and it sounds like she's doing well. Cyndy attended LAURA TYBURSKI's wedding in the summer of '94, where she saw LAURA BICKNELL, ALI RIVERS and COYD KURDZIEL '94. Cyndy also mentioned that she often visits N.Y.C. for fun, and she gets to seeTITOVASQUEZ and MARY JO PUGLISI quite a lot (gee, I hope that's accurate - I tend to have bad luck in reporting Vasquez/Puglisi information!). Anyway, many thanks to Cyndy for writing. Now, I also received an interesting letter from JEFF MACDONALD. Jeff is working
