LAWRENCE KOLIN writes that he is still practicing law in Orlando at a statewide firm , Conroy, Simberg & Ganon, PA., where he heads the medical ma!practice division of that office. Lawrence states he has spoken to Dan Airer who is in a similar law practice in south Florida. (Lawrence, Dan, and I attended the University of Miami School of Law together afrer Trinity.) DAVE COPLAND '90, who practices intellectual property law in Chicago, recently sent him an anticybersquatting case. Lawrence also writes that PAT LEE, who is still living in Korea, contacted him recently about a medical Internet site he is developing there. He relates that ED BERKOWITZ has joined the lnrernet cas sales start-up, Greenlighr.com and is living in California. Lawrence also saw NAT MOFFAT, who is now a proud father, and GREG FERRO, still at Aetna, in Washington, DC. He also heard from KIM STARR, who is married and living in Japan. Lawrence said he saw Robin Halpern at the Lotus Club in New York - still glowing from her engagement. Finally, Lawrence said he was visited by Trinity Professor Emeritus Albert Gastmann, who, at the age of 80, looks well and continues to travel and see his former students around the world! Lastly, KEITH RYAN is a federal agent and the proud father of triplets. From LAURA JELSMA DAVIS: "On June 24, 2000, MEG MONTGOMERY got married in Steamboat Springs, CO to John Morse (great guy, who is a ski instructor out there). Meg is teaching in Steamboat at a boarding school - Lowell Whiteman School. The campus is gorgeous and I think the kids get a month off in the winter to 'ski.' Pretty rough curriculum ...

COOIE STETSON BATES, MOLLY MONTGOMERY '90, and I were bridesmaids. TOBY BATES '90 and Cooie are back in Portland (they lived in Hawaii for three years). Cooie, Toby, Mike (my husband), our two daughters and I drove up to Steamboat from Denver in a minivan. Ir was a trip! Since coming back to Austin, I've broken down and bought a minivan for us. It's acrually great! I still work in a women's clinic as a nurse practitioner, part-time, and am home part-time. My husband is still teaching at the same school, St. Stephen's Episcopal." CHRISTINE COLLINS (SMITH) won the Olympic Trials in the Women's Lightweight Double last month. She has won the World Championships four or five times and medaled a number of other times. There is a very good article about her and her partner on line at www.nbcolympics.com, select "features," "rowing," and "Tough ,, Tandem. MIKE IRWIN was an assisrant coach for the United States at the World Championships held in Croatia in July. STASIA TALBOT PRIGGE writes, "This past summer has been exciting, as it seems there are several Trinity babies entering the world. Over the last nine months, STEPHANIE VAUGHN ROSSEAU, ROBIN COOK MCCONAUGHY, TRICIA CANAVAN, and I survived pregnancies - and, all were boys! I can safely say, without any bias of course, that all are very cure! Stephanie's boy is Decker, Robin's is Finn, Tricia's is Jack, and mine is Alex. Alex got to meet Finn and Jack over the course of the summer, and while they mostly sat and watched each other, it was a lot of fun to hang out and commiserate over the lack of sleep. As for me, I relucrandy went back to work recently in Annapolis, MD, where I have been a prosecutor for three years. It is so much fun playing with Alex, though, so my days can seem really long! As for other Trinity news, BETSY TOWNSEND has finished an MBA and is going to Merrill

Lynch to be an investment counselor. You are still likely to find her kayaking or mountain biking in New England in her free time, though, as she still loves the outdoors. PEYTON TANSILL also is vested in the financial world as an investment banker in New York City, but still rakes fun trips to see her friends who are all over the place. Also in New York City, MAGGIE RHEE has been busy working at the launch of Womens Sports Illustrated She previously worked at Life, which was a very different experience because of the long history of the magazine. I guess the change of pace has been exciting, although there were benefits to being with such an established magazine, also. Finally, PAULA MURPHY has been living in San Francisco for several years now. Afrer receiving a master's in journalism at Columbia, she now works at Berkeley, designing and editing Web pages. Apparently there is no hope of prying her from the West Coast. Well, take care to everyone, and visitors to the Baltimore/DC area are always ,, welcome. I tracked down PATRICK MCCABE, who informed me that his soccer agency, Laduma Sports Group, was recently acquired by Woolf Associates in Boston. He will head the soccer division and continue to work on player management and marketing. His big client these days is Mamadou "Big Marna'' Diallo, MLS 's leading scorer. He is also working with DEBBIE GAMMONS-BROWN and DAN WEINBERG '99, both Trinity grads. DAVID FERRIS left the retail side of Ferris, Baker Watts, Inc. to start a private equity group and high net-worth services in April. Surprise, another venture capitalist. Maria is a partner in a Rockville, MD architecture firm. And, afrer a bumpy start, they are happy to report that Nicolette Anne Ferris, just over a year old is thriving and causing chaos all over the Ferris house. He wri res "I've seen too many Trinity alums to list at Campbell's wedding and several others over the last two years, but everyone seems to be

doing great. SCOTT TURNER married Ellie Falcocchio (Wellesley '91) on June 3, 2000, with Dudley Blossom, MARK HADDAD, Russ Medbery, and COLIN KISOR in attendance. Scott moved to New York City to become the recruitment coordinator for the Peace Corps' New York office. LONNIE STEWART reporrs, "I was gainfully employed as a voice-over artist until May first of this year. That is the date when the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists went on strike against the advertising industry for presenting us with a contract that, in essence, would eliminate an actor's ability to make a living doing this kind of work any more. Management says it is their attempt to 'modernize' the commercials' contract. We call it a rollback. More than 135,000 actors across the counrry have now been on strike for over four months, the longest strike for actors in history. I am now one of many SAG/AFTRA strike captains here in New York City. I spend my days either conducting picket lines or trying to get nonunion actors to walk off the sets of commercials being shot in this city. It is a brutal battle, and I'm ofren in the path of projecriles being thrown at me from people on these sets, but I've made it clear to them that we're not giving in an inch, and that if they're dumb enough to continue shooting commercials in this city, we're going to make it very difficult for them. Such is the state of my life at the moment, and I look forward to getting back to work soon. If any of our classmates are involved with the advertising industry or Fortune 500 companies: don't let your bosses rip the rug from under the working families of professional actors. Pay them what they're worth, you can afford it." DAVE PAYNE '92 writes us from Palmer, AK! "Presently I am at NOLS headquarters, borrowing gear for a three-week backpacking and kayaking trip into the Brooks Range/Gates of the Arctic National Park with my sis-
