lenburg, an attorney. MARGARET ROBB, who's working on her M.S.W., married Be(\jamin Bartlett in June (see Weddings); and JANE McDONOUGH became Jane Bayer in April (see Weddings) and bought a home in Baltimore. Jane's former roomie, ANN KEZER LAZARUS and husband, STEVE LAZARUS, are also new homeowners in Cincinnati. Ann has recently changed firms, but continues as a college recruiter for executive training programs. LAURA ALDERSON CONTICELLO is in the new homeowners club, too. Her Portland, Conn. pad is her respite from work as a senior engineer at Hamilton Standard in Hartford. God, this is getting pretty domestic. KATIE GERBER is now a newlywed, and the new Mrs. Doonan is happily living in Boston where she works as a real estate analyst at First Winthrop Corp. Katie's husband gets the best non-Trinity spouse award for being such a great sport at Reunion. Amidst all the nostalgia, hoopla, and buffonery, he gamely chatted with all comers, to the point where Katie was even able to meander away from time to time. We'll make him an honorary '85er. He earned it. JOE DeDOMENICO was recently designated as a certified financial planner and is working for Polaris Financial in New Haven. CRISS LEYDECKER ditched the bright lights of Manhattan last year, and now teaches and coaches soccer at an elementary school on Nantucket. "Life here," she says, "is a welcomed and wonderful change!" Former Class agent Steve Norton is another contented camper, working away as a legislative assistant for U.S. Rep. Barbara Kennelly in her Washington office. Always one to turn a political phrase, Steve reports that he is "glad to be serving the State of Connecticut once again in kind and gentle ways." Psst, Steve. Right lingo, wrong party. You have to remember that you're not aRepublican ... The return to academe continues to impoverish new members of our Class. JEAN-LUC HELSON has left Banco di Roma and Joe Cocker to pursue an M.BA. at N.Y.U, ANNE PATTERSON WILMERDING will enroll at Penn for her MA. in historic preservation, KAT CASTLE is working on her MA. in history, and RICK HAYBER just finished her first year at UConn Law School. RACHEL DONHAM is living in Washington, D.C. and is in a master's program in marine and environmental sciences at the University of Maryland. It's a revolving door at the old diploma mill however, and just as those last five re-enter school, several of us have just escaped. Harvard's June 7 commencement, complete with West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl and Ella Fitzgerald, had a bevy of '85 alumni sporting Trinity's blue and gold hoods. WU SHIPLEY received his M.BA. from the B-School (although the program listed his undergraduate institution as Trinity College, England . .. 'fess up, Lou. A typo?), !RIC REX earned an M.FA. in architecture at the School of Design, and KAY MILLETT and LEE COFFIN received Ed.M. degrees in administration and planning at Harvard's School of Education. Crim-
son sheepskin in hand, Lou joined a start-up software company in Brighton, Mass., Kay will continue as a housing officer at Harvard, Lee has "defected" to Connecticut College to be assistant director of admissions, and !ric's plans are undisclosed. Beyond Harvard Square, SARAH RAGLAND received an M.S. from the Columbia School of Journalism. She's looking for a job at a daily newspaper with the practical goal of "paying off my growing pile of bills." Out in Chicago, STEVE KISH earned his M.BA. from Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management, while HOWARD SADINSKY graduated from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and began pediatric research at the Portsmouth Naval Hospital in Virginia. NANCY POPKIN, another newlyminted bride (see Weddings), recently finished her MA. in education and will start work as an elementary school teacher in California. And, we have our first bonafide doctor (as in Ph.D.) in our midst! COURTLAND SEARS received his doctorate in analytic chemistry from Purdue and is now working for Union Carbide at their technical center in West Virginia. Andy Carlson completed his M.Div. from Yale. He writes that he's decided that mental health is his career. He plans to work one or two years in residential treatment facilities before applying for either a Psy.D. or a Ph.D. in clinical psychology. FREDERICK THOMAS finished up a master's in tax law at Georgetown and was looking forward to returning to Connecticut. DAVID GRYBOSKI graduated from UConn Medical School last May. He wrote that he was excited about moving to Atlanta, Ga. and beginning his residency in internal medicine at Emory. Congratulations to all of the above. MICHELE MARTE-ABREU is still working in the criminal defense division of the Legal Aid Society in New York City. I have images of The Bonfire of the Vanities, but Michele says its challenging and rewarding. In a similar vein, KAREN OLIVER reports that she's been working as an education specialist at a homeless shelter in Portland, Maine for two years. "Noble work," she writes, "but the pay is minuscule and the stress is outrageous." If you're in search of some designer cosmetics, give MARISSA NOLA a call. She's now an account executive for Christian Dior Cosmetics. THOMAS WILSON has had his own law practice for some time and is also doing zoning law for the City of Holyoke, Mass. SUSAN CIFERNI writes that she completed the New York marathon in 1989. JEANNE MONNES was honorahly discharged from active duty from the Navy in April. Jeanne's now in Washington State and is employed as a lab technician for a major food company while continuing her Navy duties as an oceanography meteorology officer in the Reserves. In the "This Doesn't Fit into Any Category" category: MATT GEORGE just finished his first year as the instructor of Hatha Yoga with "Dance at Trinity." When he's not squatting, Matt works on chu1路ch restorations. Entertainment entrepreneur MATT MOORE reports a
booming business for his production company in Boston, and he recently completed TV commercials with Liza Minelli and Boston Bruins captain Ray Bourque for non-profit causes. Matt's won two 1990 "Telly Awards," alt110ugh he doesn't say what for. Somehow, I think Telly Savalas is unrelated to Matt's achievement. 1985's other Moore, as in JONATHAN MOORE, left Taiwan this spring after a three-year stint as a reporter for The Fa,- Eastern Economic Review. After traveling to China and Eastern Europe from July to October, Jonathan will return to the States to pursue a new reporting position. I am sorry to report that our Reunion yielded little in the way of scintillating gossip (at least that I heard, anyway). Oh well. As I said, keep me informed and I'll pass along t11e news. However, I won't make a habit of begging for info, so tile ball's in your hands. Hope your summers were great. Let's see, one down ... 19 more of tilese reports to go before 1995. Okay, tilis isn't so bad. Class Agents: Andrew C. Carlson Roberta Glaser
