Sarah Reed Carter lives a couple of hours away in Brevard, NC, with her husband, Jeff, and is a first grade teacher. We manage to see Heather Stewart every year or two. She's running a literacy program in San Diego and seems to be coping pretty well with the southern California weather. Paul Nanian stopped by to visit on his most recent through- hike on the Appalachian Trail, carrying only a nail file, a rubber band, and some kleenex. Beth Capaldi sends postcards from places where she's supposedly working, but I'm suspicious-do they have palm trees at Bucknell? I would love to know what's up with all the people I never read about in the Reporter." Alec Schall is living in New York City. He married Laura Daley in February in New Zealand. Trinity grads Andrew Newcomb '91 and Alan Schiffman '81 were at the wedding on the beach. Matt Welton, Terry McNamara, Jason Hicks, and Andy Newcomb '91 attended a wedding celebration party back in Laura's home state ofVirginia. Tim Birnschein is another person who responded to my e-mail request. "My goodness, so much has happened in the last 12 years! I'm living in Los Angeles. I've been here since graduation. I have been flirting with acting over the years-a few plays and student films , and some film extra work. I was banking for a few years-hated it. Then worked for a few years at an environmental marketing firm, then at Premiere TV, an entertainment publicity and production company in Santa Monica, CA. Now I'm waiting tables at The Lobster, overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Santa Monica. I actually love it. I've been there two years. I have to say I wait on more celebrities than I work with when I'm acting! "One of my good friends is John Cockrell '91. We knew each other in college, but were not close friends then. We reunited about four years ago at The Nields concert and speak regularly, since we're both huge Red Sox fans. In fact, next weekend we'll be going to see the Sox play their first ever series at Dodger's stadium! A couple of weeks ago, I met John in Alisa Viejo at the home of his sister, Stephanie Cockrell lyon '88, and her husband, Barry Lyon, for a barbecue and to watch the Sox-Yankees game on TV "I have a three-year-old son (born May 7, 1999) named Greyson Spenser Griffey! He is my pride and joy. SO cute and smart and happy-! sound like a parent, don't I? He lives in Waltham, MA, with his mother, who is from Massachusetts. He was born in San Francisco-and I was there for the birth. Amazing. About four months later, they moved back to Boston to save some money, and be closer to her family. My mom and stepdad live on Cape Cod, so they see Greyson once a month or so. I travel to Boston four times a year or so to see him. It's really working out well now. My job affords the flexibility to travel. "The other Trinity folk I see regularly are Mo lotman '91 (actually he transferred to Michigan State), Jamie (Murphy) Weisberg '93 (in NYC), and Chris Andersson (also in NYC and big into the gay theater scene there-and helping to run the Trinity-La MaMa performing arts program)." Teresa Scalzo Miranda also sent in some information. "In October, I moved to Arlington, VA, with my husband, Bob. I'm still new to the area, so if there are any Trinity alums in the DC area, I would love to

hear from them! Previously, I was an assistant district attorney in Northampton County, PA. When I moved to Virginia, I became the policy attorney for the National District Attorneys Association. Due to 9/11, most of my work was focused on the local prosecutor's role in the battle against terrorism. Recently, I was promoted to the position of senior attorney in the American Prosecutors Research Institute (the training and technical assistance branch of the National District Attorneys Association). I am in the Violence Against Women Program. Basically, I will be traveling the country teaching prosecutors and police officers how to handle cases involving violence against women, including rape, domestic violence, and stalking. I am very excited about my new position as this was my focus when I was an assistant district attorney. "Recently, Jennifer Schultz, lisa Tomlinson, and Paula Cinti '92 visited me. They are all doing very well! Jen Schultz is senior marketing manager at iVillage Parenting Network. She is living in Upper Nyack, NY She's also engaged. The wedding is planned for some time next year. Lisa is still in New York but doing lots of traveling across the globe. Paula is an ER doctor in Hartford and will be getting married in October (which should be lots of fun!). At Christmas, I saw Susan Monaco in NYC. She is living in London and working on documentary films. Everyone is doing very well." Greg Johnson is still working on behalf of the boys at AD. "Now that AD was shut down by the College, I have been working tirelessly on a new plan to address getting back on campus. Jim Murphy has been actively involved, as well. We will be meeting with President Hersh this summer to discuss our strategy in the coming year. I am confident that AD will be back on campus in 2003." Thanks to Greg for spreading my e-mail request to a whole crop of other people (see below). Dave Wells checked in, too. "All is well in STL-moved out here with wife, Anne, in 1998. Baby born in December 2000-Lila. Life is good." He is organizing a guys' weekend in Hilton Head. I hope to have the publishable details in an upcoming issue. Great to hear from Andy Katz. He writes, "I just received my MBA from Vanderbilt (Owen) and am off on an eight-week trip through Southeast Asia-Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, etc. When I return, I will be working in marketing for Pepsi in Purchase, NY, and living in NYC. In other news, Scott Goldsmith is getting married in December of this year and is living in NYC (where else) ..." I also got an update from Pete Denious. "Katie Everitt Denious '91 and I are enjoying our kids (Eliza, three, and Peter, one). We're living in Wilton, CT, and I'm working in Stamford at an investment firm called FLAG Venture Management." Many thanks, again, to all of you who sent me information. The column is fun to read when it encompasses the whole Class, so please keep the information coming! If you aren't in this issue ... think about what is new (or not so new) in your life and drop me a line. Thanks.
