Carina R esidency on Monhegan Island this sUiruner ('04) .Visit his very beautiful Web site, www.pollien .com. From Phil Grabfield: " Not a lot of news here. Took a position last year as chief m arke tin g officer for M ercer Human Reso urce Consulting. H ave run into some Trinity alums there, but before our time. Three of us were together for a conference in DC-Harry Conaway '74, John Welch '76 , and I. Not sure what classes th ey are from , but before 1981. Saw another trio last weekend when we visited Mike Rorick '88 and Margaret (Lowance) Rorick '91 to see th eir new baby in Boston. They are both Trinityites, but after our time. I am in regular touch with Rob Murdock who is from our Class! Am also going to Seattle in July to visit th e Crawfords (Ed from C lass of 1983). Still married (Debbie) and still has two kids: Alyssa 15 and Drew 12." From Anne Madarasz: ''I'm still here in Pittsburgh, incredibly busy working on a permanent floor exhibit that w ill open in November here at the Heinz History Center called the Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum. I'm having a grea t time managing the curatorial team for the exhi bit-it is every sports f.1 n's dream-lunching with Maz, holding a meeting with three of the four original Steel Curtain Steelers, ge ttin g to collect objects like Billy Conn's boxing gloves ... Our kids keep Tom (Miller '79) and me o n th e run th e rest of th e timeMary Beth is now six and just finished kindergarten and Patri ck is three and all boy." From Tom Carroux: " Twenty-three yea rs after graduating from Trinity, recipient of innumerable Reporters filled with announcements of supposedly important milestones, I'm still th e same guy who never took Bible Study to improve his GPA, willingly accepted a C instead of an A in a pass/ f.1il weight-lifting class so that the class curve wouldn't be unduly skewed, only took classes that l was interested in, didn't aspire to gradua te school, and noneth eless enrolled into Columbia Busin ess School. What matters to m e are not merit badges but human moments, such as the warm em brace of a hand, the sight of children skipping, th e sound of a heart-felt song, and th e taste of skin on my tongue. l remain a sensualist, an intelligent animal, nothing more or less." From Jim Shapiro: "Cuba was magnifico! A trul y life-changing experi ence. l am sitting in my office with beautiful C uban art hanging on my wall; have ano ther piece in my dining room at home. Our humanitarian mission brought down an entire phar macy's worth of medications that are in painfi.1lly short supply down th ere. They have more doctors per capita than anywh ere in th e world, but little medicine to prescribe. Right now, a group of us are trying to figure out how to reunite one of our more articulate and energeti c tour gu ides with his wife, who got out a co uple of years ago. l am already plamling my next humanitarian mission, hopefully in early 2005." From Peter Whalen : " I am still in Northhampton , MA, running my family's insurance business. It is hard to believe, but it has been over 22 years since l took over ownership from my fat her. My wife, Janna Ugone, and l just celebrated our 10th anniversary. She is a well-known lighting designer and manufacturer. We have two children, Gina (seven) and Trace (five). We are trying desperately to wrap up a home project that is approac hing five years in duration, but we are thrilled with th e results. Overall, life is great. " [ am in close touch w ith many of our classmates such as Ken Savi no, Alex Kirk, Tom Roche, Faraj Saghri, Bob Aiello, Ellen Gould Baber, and Tony Docal. I am in lesser touch with John Ewing, Alan Schiffman , an d Scott Growney. And I also see a bit of Doug Bennett and Michael (Bongo) Grabscheid from the Class of 1980. l apologize to some people whom I am sure l have mistakenly omi tted from this
list and hope all th e rest of you are doing well."

Talbot l received notification that Philip Propper De Callejon, Jr. was nam ed chief invesm1.ent officer of equities, as well as a senior portfolio manager at Dover M anagement LLC, an investment advisory firm in Greenwich. Prior to this most recent position , Philip had been a portfolio manager with Trust Company of the West. Since other news was rather light, I we nt casting throu gh the Web to see what was going on with some of our classmates. l started with a few people that Carl Rapp (who is still in Philadelphia and doing well) only guessed abo ut th eir current activities but without any facts. While spec ulation was that one of my roommates was on a walkabout in th e N ew England mountains, it turns out that Thomas Liscord was busy getting his medical degree and is currently practicing at the Winthrop H ealth Center in Winthrop, ME. His pi cture on th e Web site indicates th at he eith er found th e fountain of yo uth or he used his college ID photo. At least he made it easy for me to confirm that l had the right Mr. Liscord. Much to my chagrin, th e rumors abo ut Armando Paolino living in H awaii were not true. H e currently is th e Connecticut state director of
