Denise A. Chicoine '90 has successfully argued a case before the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. The case concerned the ability of a discharged worker who was suing for wrongful termination to gather information relating to the case from other former employees of the defendant company. Chicoine was able to convince the court that such communication is acceptable. She is quoted in the Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly as saying, "The court validated our instincts." She is with the law firm Englander & Chicoine in Newton, Massachusetts.

I am sorry to report that we've had a computer crisis at the Lang house. As a result, any e-mail sent to me between Oct. 15 and Feb. 2 may not have been received or may have been erased. So, I apologize in advance because I know there was some news that didn't make it onto the new computer. Please re-send the news and I will print it in the next edition. Also (as always), if the information I publish is incorrect, please drop me a note so that I can print a retraction. I received lots of great Christmas cards this year full of smiling Trinity graduates and their progeny. I didn't get a card from Stewart Manger, but I was able to read about his card in the New York Times Dec. 22nd Styles section. According to the Times, Stewart "has the distinction in some local circles of heralding the season with cards purchased by Labor Day and addressed at Thanksgiving to arrive in mailboxes no later than Dec.l." Stewart is an interior designer at David 路 Kleinberg Associates. For any of you wondering where cards from me were, I didn't quite get around to it this year, but check your box next December. .... The infamous President's Day blizzard offered a happy homecoming for Laura Bailey who, after 12 years on the West Coast, moved to the D.C. area (Virginia, specifically) the day before the fateful storm. She writes, "I am now the special assistant to the president of Business Markets. All business sales functions roll into our organization, and we are working furiously to help get our company out of bankruptcy. Life at WCOM has been tough over the past year, but we are beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel!" I've also heard (but haven't actually confirmed) that Alix Ogden and her family are planning a cross-country relocation. I hope to see them settled in New England this summer. .

first!). Here it is: 'Tm engaged to be married as ofFriday (Feb. 21)! Her name is Kate Meckler and we've been dating for seven n1.onths. I actually met her about a year ago, but we had a first date that was just disastrous and I never thought I'd see her again. Turns out David Molner '91 began dating Kate's sister, Naomi. Kate and I soon after rekindled our relationship last August, and here I am, seven months later, engaged to her. Very exciting! We are shooting for a date this fall for the actual wedding, so I will update you when .I know. "Besides that, I am a field producer for CNN's Lou Dobbs Moneyline program, a position I've held for eight years now. I've had many exciting assignments over the last 12 months, what with all the corporate scandal going on. The highlight was spending six weeks in Houston back in May/June to cover the Arthur Andersen criminal trial from gavel to gavel. We are up for several awards for our coverageI'm quite proud of the job we did out there. There's a chance I may be heading to the Middle East to help out with our war coverage. Last I heard, Moneyline could be pitching tent in Turkey and Kuwait. Stay tuned. " I have been living in Greenwich Village in NYC for five years now. I'll be moving to the Upper East Side with my fiancee in a few months. I just celebrated my 35th birthday at a surprise party organized by Kate. In attendanc~: Anthony (AJ) Contessa and his wife, Molly Choi; Peter St. Phillip and his fiancee, Callie Starbuck (they are to be married in May in St. Louis); Chad Auchincloss '91 and his girlfriend, Susan; Dorian Shaw Forshner and her husband, Chris Forshner; Martha Willoughby; Jonathan Buoni '91; David and girlfriend, Naomi. Dan Waterman and his wife, Michelle, were unable to make it because they are in the midst of relocating to London for a few years." Thanks to Jen Osborne Prescott who sent in an update. ''I'm still the managing editor of two magazines at Scholastic and am working on a novel as well as a few screenplays in various stages of completion. My husband, Chris, and I live in Brooklyn, only a few blocks away from Stephanie Ritz, who is a talent agent for Endeavor and works with both big ch eese actors and soon-to-be big cheeses. Steph and I hang in the 'hood together quite a bit. I often see Julia Power (now Burns), who is happily married and doing well at Dow Jones. I've also been spending a lot of time with Doug Kim '87 , who happens to be dating a friend of mine. (Doug, Steph, JP Bruynes '87, and a small and terrifYing stuffed animal known as "Mr. Giggles" were all part of a house share in Montauk last sun1.mer.) And, not too long ago, I saw a number of Trinity grads at a big John Dalshiem '87 shindig. They were partying in the manner ofTrinity grads everywhere ... with great enthusiasm, and assisted by many inebriating liquids." On the party front, rumor has it that James Loutit '91 hosted a very fun NYC Superbowl party. Some in attendance were Martha Willoughby, John Ulrich, Bill Ryckman '91, Richard Coleman, Bill Hatch '87, and John Dalshiem '87. Levi and Kate Richardson have moved from Colorado to Rhode Island and have bought a house on the water in Edgewood, RI. Elya Schwartzman has a new addition to his family. His son, Jonah, was born on Oct. 5, 2002. Big brother, Nathan, is three. The Schwartzmans are still living in Natick, MA. Rob Bibow '88 sent along an update as well as two fine photos. Space constraints prevent their being printed in the magagzine, but the picture shows Rob and James Loutit receiving their prize for Coolest Car in the 2002 Gumball Rally closing night dinner at the Playboy Mansion. Rob writes, "We drove a 1960 Corvette painted like the American Flag from the Plaza Hotel (starting line) to LA over five days. It was a wild ride. We definitely weren't the fastest car (that was
