CLASS
I was lucky enough to be present when ASHLYN HILEY wed Eliot Foley on May 20 (also my birthday - certainly one of the best birthday parties I have been given). And, yes, I was invited. The service was wonderful, Ashlyn looked beautiful, and the reception, at the Hiley family compound in Katonah, NY, was all kinds of fun. We danced the night away with friends , including SUSAN (OLSEN) RUSCONI and John, LISA SEQUENZIA and her husband, and many others mentioned elsewhere in these notes. One such party guest was LYNN WOLFF, who subsequently had a great time on the summer wedding uail - attending those of Ashlyn, ANNMARIE FINI, CANDY CALON, and CASSIE BURNS ... so far. She was sad to miss RENEE MAILLOUX's grand day, but, unfortunately, had a family wedding the same day. Now that the excitement has subsided, Ashlyn has started at the Boston College School of Social Work, and notes how strange it is to go back to school at this age. "Especial.ly at BC," she writes. "It is simply flooded with undergrads!" She and Ebert find themselves living in the Jamaica Plain area of Boston, across the street from NICOLE
D 'AVIRRO. "It's like being roommates again, but being able to go home to your significant other!" In other Jamaica Plain local news, DAN SCANLAN returned from a whirlwind tour of the Old Country (the Emerald Isle) where he experienced a Scan.Ian fami ly reunion - 22 members of the clan, including KATE '88, celebrating life and family in a drafty Irish castle. The alumni office has learned that JULIE MASON lefr the White House and now works at AOL. Ju.lie writes that KAREN REGAN was married to Jon Rucker in North Carolina in August. The wedding season is hardly over, however, and this weekend (too late for this publication!) in Plymouth, MA, will occur the long-awaited nuptials of PRASANT SAR and his sweetheart, Alicia McCabe. A strong Trinity contingent is expected to toast the couple and then send them off to Austin, TX, where Prasant is starting his second year at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University ofTexas. More on this event next time around (but please do not hold your breath for three months!). The alumni office notes that TINA HANSEN and Adam Hopfner were married according to a notice in the April 9, 2000
issue of the Greenwich Time (CT). Moving on from the wedding circuit, and skipping the baby circuit, let's move right into the teenager circuit! Ever youthful AUDREY BRASHICH still loves LA, where, since November 1999, she has been the research editor at Jump magazine (which is for teen girls). Audrey writes that "in the August/ September 2000 issue of Ms. magazine, I had an article published on the (unfortunate) trend of Playboy Chic (like the magazine being considered hipper than ever, parties at the mansion being attended by folks like Gwyneth and Leo, clothing with the bunny on it being sold at Urban Outfitters ... that kind of thing)." As a resu.lt of Audrey's growing notoriety, Trinity's own Dean Winer has invited her to be a guest lecturer in his freshman seminar this October. She will be speaking about sexism, girls' adolescent experiences, and teen magazines. It doesn't seem like that long ago we were sitting in those same freshman seminars ... Audrey reports that RAN BARTON and his wife, Louise, had their first baby in early summer. His name is Randolph Barton IV "Rand." Congratu.lations to the happy family! Meanwhile, Audrey crashed Reunion this past June "to attend my sister Alexis's, 10th Reunion. The Class of '90 was there in full force," she reports, "and the campus looks great!" That seems like a positive note upon which to conclude this issue's update. It wou.ldn't be like me, however, to conclude without the following admonition: please write, e-mail, call, something, and let me know how and what you are doing! If you don't, I may jusr have ro starr making things up . ..

NOTES

Kids. IfI had to pick one ~ord to sum up this installment of Class Nores thar would be it: kids. I guess it's a sign of the times, but as I just reread my notes in preparation for writing this article (I swear I get flashbacks to college every time I have to write one of these ... the researching, the note-taking, the procrastinating) that's what stuck out as a reoccurring theme in everyone's updates. Everyone's having them. If not you, then chances are your roommate might be procreating. Or they're getting engaged and married which, if our parents all have their say, will lead to the having of kids. You get my point. Now onto the news .. . I'll start off with possibly the first person ever to e-mail me a picture of his offspring: GAR LAMOTHE. Yup, he actually surfaced. I, for one, had been wondering what Gar had been up to over the past six years. Here's his story: a few months afrer graduation he relocated to Dallas, which he seems to be loving. He is currently working as the VP of direct sales for Bank of America's consumer finance group. In Gar's own words: "I am also the proud father of a beautiful two-month-old baby girl Tierney Elizabeth LaMothe .. . Thank God, she looks like her mother - I was never a looker. Between the two women in my life and my 'marginally-improving' golf game, I have remained busy - also doing a lot of outdoor projects with the house." Gar's biggest regret seems to be that he's lost rouch with most of his Trinity pals, so if any of you are in the Texas area, be sure ro look him up. Seems rhar Gar's nor the only Texan our Class has ro offer. FELICIA GOULET-MILLER e-mailed me to say that she and her husband, LANNY MILLER '93, have felt out of touch from the Trinity community since their move ro the Lone Star State. After five years of marriage they, too, are thrilled to have a child: Riley Laurence Miller was born on May 28, 2000. Lanny is working on his doctorate in
