down the line, Bill and Alex can review some of their movies. Chris Desiderio is living at home and is busy attending Fordham Law School, but he still finds time to make frequent trips up to Boston. Chris also deserves special commendation for being the first person to respond to my e-mail asking what everyone is up to. Teddy Schiff works for Lehman Brothers, trading corporate bonds. Robert Wienke is living in downtown Manhattan with three friends from home, all of whom, to my amazement, call him by his given name. Bailey Kindlon is interning for Robert DeNim's company,Tribeca Films, while she looks for more permanent employment. Nikki Cutler and Kathryn Montanile are roommates in West New York, NJ. Nikki is putting her major in Spanish to good use, working for a bilingual fashion magazine. Katherine Holland, Ali Themistocles, and Mandy Rabinowitz have been living together in New York since August. Katherine is working for a small firm that does marketing and promotions for Broadway shows, and Mandy reports that she loves living with Kat and Ali, a sentiment that is shared by all, I'm sure. Another trio of girls, Bobbi Oldfield, Heather Robbins, and Jessie Sandell, are also living together on the Upper East Side. Bobbi is working at Memorial Sloan Kettering as a research assistant in clinical trials; Jessie is at Alliance Capital; and Heather is in the marketing department ofStila Cosmetics. Bobbi summed up their post-collegiate life by writing "We work, we go out, and we sleep." Andrew Dunlap '02 had been living in Chicago, but when I saw him last he was staying at Will Gambrill and Dave Kleiner's place in Manhattan while looking for a job and an apartment. Will recently rejoined the ranks of the employed, and congratulations are definitely in order. I see Mark Tassie, Dave Achterhof, Brian Andre, and Pete Gottlieb out on the town whenever I am in New York, but I haven't the foggiest idea what any of them are doing. Kim Grad went on a cross-country road trip with Nikki Mant in October and is currently living at home in Greenwich with her parents and dog. Kimmie will begin working for NBC in April. Ann Grasing is the managing editorial assistant for Crown Publishing Group, and she also keeps herself busy by taking classes and volunteering as a Big Sister. Barbara Barlick spends an ungodly amount of time commuting-she travels back and forth every day from Islip, Long Island to work for Bear Stearns in New York. Stephanie Ng is also living at home on Long Island and is working in the law offices ofWhite and Case (not to be confused with the famed hamburger litigators White and Castle, as I originally assumed). Stark Townend is working as a corporate paralegal for the prestigious law firm of Skadden, Arps along with Oscar Buitrago '00, with whom he also lives. Scott Elwell is working for GreenPoint Bank, where fellow Trinity alum Tom Johnson '62 is the CEO. He will be temporarily moving to San Francisco on a company rotatio~, but plans on returning to New York afterwards. Megan Heanue and Shannon Daly are both living just outside of the city but manage to make it in, without fail, every weekend. Cotter Kelsey reports that he is living in New York while trying to get his "burgeoning heavy metal band off the ground and trying to get his first novel published," whoa. Christie Phillips and Olessa Pindak are living together; Christie is working crazy hours in the theater industry, and Lessa is working for Allure magazine. Every time I go to New York, I am overcome by the notion that Trinity alums are omnipresent, which is, in my opinion, a very good thing. Christie aptly summed up the experience of living in New York right after college by writing, "I see all sorts ofTrinity people in New York on a regular basis." Last but not least, an update on the movings and shakings of recent Trinity grads in Boston, the city that I presently call home. Brooke Ronhovde, Scotty Herron, Tina Couch, and Annie Hutton are all living together in Brighton. Brooke and Tina are involved in the governance
of our fair Commonwealth; Tina is working for the State's Attorney General's office, while Brooke, along with Jess Ritter, is working for the Massachusetts House Ways and Means Committee. Scotty spent the fall waiting tables at the Elbow Room, where she was prominently featured in one of their ads. She is about to hang up her apron, however, in favor of a 9- to-5 job at GMO. Chris Desiderio, Chris Harris, Kevin Fauteaux, and Mike LaBella, among others, can regularly be found at the girls' apartment. Chris Harris spent the summer and fall living at home, where he raised his puppy, Jack, and drank a lot oflattes. Chris has also developed an affinity for the movie, Meet the Parents, that borders on obsession. In January, he began working for G.E. Capital in Stamford, CT, but he is back often on the weekends. Michelle Thoedat is living at home, not far from the other girls, and working in a hospital. Kevin McCullough, last I heard, was also living at home, but he makes it into Boston frequently. Sean Harris, Will Grandin, Matt Purushotham, Jeff Brown, and Brian Allen are all living together with friends from home in Brighton, and can be found most Thursday night at The Kells . Alexandra Holden is working as a production assistant for PBS's local affiliate, WGBH, and writes that she keeps in touch with Lindsay Packard, Newell Gates, and Jess Ritter. Pat King and Matt Albrecht are also living in the Boston area, but I'm not exactly sure what they're up to. Albrecht hasn't changed much. Leigh Pendleton and Abbey Phillips are living together in Beacon Hill, where they have very recently been joined by Liz Fairbanks, who is in the process of moving to Boston after spending time in Italy and Washington State. Jennifer Hughes, Joan Savage, Kristin Forester, and Ali Dyer are living together in Roslyndale.Jen is working with autistic children and just got into her top pick grad school; Joan is also mulling over her options for grad school; Kristin is working on Newbury Street; and Ali is getting married in England in July. Michelle Maloney and Addie Seiler are living together in Brighton. Michelle will be attending law school this fall, and Addie is working at a biotech firm. Haley Milner lives in Cambridge and works for a group of psychiatrists. Free Patriots tickets were a fringe benefit of her employment, until they started winning games. Brendon Sullivan is working for Putnam Investments and living with Adam Goldkamp and Adam Howarth (both Class of 2000) in Charlestown. I try to see Sully as often as possible, because he may well be the most fun person in the greater Boston area. Mark LaMonica, in typical existentialist fashion, reports, "I an1 living in Boston with Alan Kurd, and I have done nothing of significance since college." Spencer Schulten is working for Essex Investment Management for a year while preparing to go to law school. Though he lives in Brighton, most weekend mornings he can be found on my couch. I am living with Daniel B. Cutler in Boston's South End, and Jeff Boswell is a neighbor of ours. Dan recently closed the deal on finding a full-time job and began working for State Street Bank just one week ago. As for me, I have not yet been fortunate enough to find a reputable employer willing to compensate me for my services, but I remain optimistic and believe that I will be working by the time these notes reach you. Mter graduation I spent a month traveling across the nation with Bill Glover and then remained in San Francisco with my family for the summer. I have been in Boston since September, and I have enjoyed my time here thus far. Please allow me to close by saying "thank you" to all of the people who were kind enough to reply to my pesky e-mails asking for updates on what you are doing. Thanks are especially in order for one Shannon Daly, who reviewed my copy of the notes and added updates on over 20 people, all without seeking any credit. Compiling these notes has been a genuine pleasure, and I hope you enjoy them.Vaya con Dios.
