Greetings. Consider this column one of quality, not quantity. We're a little short on news this time , but what we have is good! A wonderful picture arrived the other day with a note from MARIAN KORTH MULLANEY. She has two beautiful children - Dickie, who is three and one half, and Colleen, who was born last April. Marian sounded great, too. She works for an attorney administering his estates practice, but the mom part sounds like it's the best. The two combined make her "late for everything!" STEVE and ANNE GURIN TALL are in London- I even have the phone number! Steve and Anne live right near JANE KLAPPER SYKES '83 ... small world ... they're expecting their second baby in June. Looks like the Class of '14 (or something like that) is filling out quite nicely. AnotefromAMYWAUGHCURRY reported that Sarah Vail Curry was born in November. Inside sources say she wins the award for most beautiful baby. I have a feeling some of the other moms and dads who have written lately might say it should be at least a tie. JOE ADLER and MARIANNE ALLESSIO '85 wrote that they're both pursuing their M.S. degrees in physical therapy at Beaver College in Pennsylvania. They're also very involved in the Tibetan Buddhist Center of Philadelphia. Congratulations to Joe and Marianne who celebrated their first wedding anniversary last fall . The Chicago contingent is doing fine. I keep leaving messages for ART RICE who's in the area but very busy. We had a lovely dinner with CHIP LAKE not too long ago. I'm enjoying my job at Leo Burnett, still working on the Pillsbury account. We love Chicago - anybody wanna buy a condo in Hartford? Please write, call, or send brain waves. I'd love to have a huge, full column next time.

For the first time in my tenure as Class Secretary, I can legitimately grouse about the paucity of mail visiting my mailbox on its merry way to this column ... but I won't succumb to the tempting opportunity to whine. You see the address; write if you will. That said, the following are the few, lonely tidbits about our erstwhile classmates that I was fortunate enough to scrape together for this column. (Is it working?) I know, I know, you're all busy, too busy to send your loyal scribe a note about your health, or your promotion , or that new bundle that screams all night long (I'm referring to infants .. .). I understand. No really, I do. It's okay. I like talking to myself in these columns. I crack myself up sometimes . I also have a mother who earned her Ph.D. in guilt, so I know how to dispense a few modicums of that precious elixir when the need arises. So, please spare us that horrific fate . Buy a stamp. Write me, before I follow JANE MELVIN's '84 lead and start offering recipes for news! Better yet, you can visit my office. I came into work one morning last fall and found a note from FRANCA DEROSA on my desk! Pretty amazing carrier pigeon Franca has on retainer, isn't it?! Seems Franca was escorting a young cousin on his/her college tour, and their voyage led through Connecticut College. She says hi, and that she's working in Hartford . See how easy it is? Several others took the "two birds, one stone" approach and sent Class communiques along with holiday greetings last December. Very smart economics in a recessionary period, don't you know! MIYUKI KANEKO actually sent two cards (oops). She's
MATTHEW GOLDING '84 and Dawn Hecht were married on July 28, 1991 in Palos Verdes, Calif. Trinity alumni/ae attending were: (top row, I. tor.) Thacher Storm '84, Bruce Silvers '83, Andrew Lituchy '84; (middle row, I. to r.) Jane Melvin Mattoon '84, Jim Niness '84, Andrew Loft '84; (bottom row, I. to r.) groom, bride, Neil Schneider '84, Nancy Golding Purdy '87, Lincoln Purdy '87. Missing from photo: Robert Golding '80.
just finished up her third semester of "stinking Jaw school" (her words) at Rutgers, but says she has "a few great pals to keep me from falling under." Hang on Miyuks, only three more to go. STEVE NORTON also dropped down my chimney from his perch in the Nation's Capital, where I gather he's still working for Connecticut Rep. Barbara Kennelly. LORI DAVIS SHIELD's card announced her new job at J . Walter Thompson in San Francisco where she's working as a media supervisor. Lori says she and Joe are loving life in the Bay area. MARTHA BONNEVILLE sent me two coupons for CIBA vision saline, so I know she reads my treatises each quarter. She thought the coupons would be handy "in these hard times." They were, Martha. Here's winking at you! CARIN VINCENT has been promoted to assistant director at CIGNA in Hartford, and she requests that any Trinity grads at said insurance hot spot give her a call. MARIANNE ALLESSIO and her husband, JOE ADLER '84, are pursuing their M.S. degrees in physical therapy at Beaver College, which we all remember from junior year abroad fame. Marianne says she and Joe are very involved with the Tibetan BuddhistCenterofPhiladelphia, and she's beginning research on her thesis regarding physical responses to breath-
ing meditation. They n!cently celebrated their first wedding anniversary. HOWARD SAD IN SKY is completing his pediatric residency at the Naval Hospital in Portsmouth, Va. Meanwhile, up north in Nashua, N.H.,CATHYWALLERTmarriedVictor Spence on Feb. 29. Very clever, Cathy, getting married on Leap Day. It'll be a while before you hit that Golden 50th, though! That's it. Short and sweet. You know what to do. You can also give me a ring. I'm in the book, although that'll be more than 29 cents. See you! Late breakingnewsreceivedin the alumni office: DAVID BLYN writes, "One never knows where an economics degree will lead. I am farming full time in west central Connecticut and enjoying the challenge. Look for River Bank Farm vegetables at farmers' markets around western Connecticut." NANCY BOMBACI is studying for her Ph.D. in English at Fordham University in the Bronx. JOHN CARTER is at the Naval postgraduate school in Monterey, Calif. pursuing a master of science degree in system technology (joint command, control and communications). He and Laura are expecting their second child in June. A recent Chicago Tribune article
