very industrious and are trying to do it all ourselves-it is turning out to be a much bigger project than we ever imagined. Needless to say, two small children aren't helping the process much, but a year into it, it is finally starting to take shape." Thanks for the update, Lisa. Though we haven't seen him in person, we send out props to John Viener, who has been spotted peddling Florida orange juice in television conm1ercials. Tabasco smoothie, anyone? Cristina Bonaca sent us news of Erik Schwartz's recent activities. After working for one company for seven years, he took a position as the technical lead of North American Professional Services for Convera, which is a software company that makes a search engine that is highly embedded in tons of U.S. and foreign three-letter agencies (CIA, NSA, FBI, etc.). They are always looking for a technical staff wi th very high security clearances, so if you know anyone, have them give Erik a call! His kids, Ezra (six), Ava (four), and Jack (1 0 months), are doing very well . Ezra aced his first-grade report card and was also voted by his peers to be citizen of the month for responsibility! Ava is doing very well in pre-school and will probably be starting kindergarten in the fall . She loves horses and princesses. Jack has been crawling for a couple of weeks and is getting into everything! He is just so busy, checking out everything, pulling DVDs out of the cabinets, pulling himself up on furniture, pulling the leaves off of plants.

The alumni office has heard fi路om Lisa Whitney, who notes, "This may seem a strange bit of news to add to the R eporter, but seeing as so many people asked about my dog, Ralph, at our Reunion, I thought maybe some folks would want to know. 1 diagnosed Ralph with a bone tumor this week and laid her to rest. She was a great dog and will be terribly missed. It meant a lot to me to know that so many of you thought of her this summer. She was a huge part of my identity for a lot of years and certainly was a big part of my Trinity experience!" Thanks to all who sent updates . Remember, we're not afraid to make up fabulous tales about people to fill our columns! We hope to hear from many of you soon'

It is with great sadness that I inform you of the death of our classmate, Douglas Wisor. Doug passed away on Oct. 16, 2004 in a tragic kite-surfmg accident in New Zealand. Doug had been living in New Zealand for about four years. He was a talented winemaker at Craggy Range Winery in Hawke's Bay. The day after his death, Peter Charles '94, Jeremy Wilmerding , and many other fi路iends gathered in California on Ocean Beach by Kirkham near where Doug used to live and surf to say a few things and share some of his wine (Craggy Range). Jeremy let me know that Doug's parents happened to be in Napa to visit his younger brother, Fritz, and all of them were able to be there as well. There is a lovely tribute to him at the Craggy R ange Winery Web site at http: // www.craggyrange.com/ proflie/ people/ doug-wisor.html. As you may be aware, June 2005 is our 10-year Reunion. The Reunion committee is working with the alunmi office on ways that we as a class can celebrate Doug's life. I truly hope to see you all at Trinity in June. I am working with fellow Reunion committee members, Colleen Smith and Ashley Gilmor Myles , on plans for the big Reunion weekend. Liza Eschelbacher Greenwald is now living in Brunswick, ME, with her husband, Aaron. I miss seeing you in Boston, Liza! Over the sun1.mer, they enjoyed a trip to Costa Rica, and Liza started work at Mercy H ospital in Portland. Sarah Cody Rector writes that she and husband, Paul Rector, welcomed Samuel Peyton Rector into the world last September. Sarah returned to work at Fox News in Hartford in January, and Paul is now working for Via com in Manhattan. Four days before Sam was born, Sanny Burnham Warner and Matt
