Alumni Fund Goal: $70,000 Class Secretary : Susan Sherrill Canavan, 403 S. Maple Ave., Glen Rock, J 07452-1536 e-mail: susan .canavan.1984@trincoll.edu Class Agents: Janice M. Anderson; Salvatore Anzalotti III; William N. Gregg; Stephen J. Tall Thanks to all who rallied to send news for this issue! The long-distance prize goes to Dale Sindell, who wrote me from Spain some months ago that she is now on permanent leave from Citibank where she was director of marketing; is ecstatically happy and retired (at least for this year); totally dedicated to her three amazing children (you can catch the oldest in the Crunchy Snake commercial now airing in UK); and is desperately awaiting a moving date afi:er two solid years of building her dream house. Her husband, Carlos, reps for George Soros in Spain and finances sel\.'Y projects like the Giorgio Armani Home store in Madrid . Dale keeps busy with horseriding, paddle tennis, and golf, (all very, very badly, she claims). She is interested in contacting anyone involved personally or professionally with hearing-impaired children. "P.S. I love you La, Nanny, Katie, Ames, Linnie, and Mich. Come visit in 2006." Dale's latest update says that she still hasn't lived in her new house, because it has been rented for a movie shoot. "Looks like I am headed for Hollywood, or Mollywood, here in Madrid. There is a lot of filming going on. Not only was my 12-year-old son singing and dancing in a Coke commercial last week, (he made his firs t movie in July), but we recently rented our new house for a two-week shoot. It was more than exciting hanging out with the actors, directors, and producers, and learning all about how movies are made from the camera, sound, and lighting people. In one scene, about 300 people were in a Christmas parry in our library. (I had so much fun I am trying to get my husband interested in producing a movie.)" Erin Poskocil reports that in May of this year she and her family visited Susan Manlove Partridge and her family in Paris. "Mter living in Paris for sixteen years, Susan speaks English with a French accent. My daughter, Manet, and I were able to meet two of Susan's children. They are lovely! I asked Paul, her youngest son who is 8, if they spoke English exclusively at home. He said they speak English to their mommy and French to their father. When Paul started school, he was under the impression that you always spoke English to women and French to men. His first teacher thought he did not understand French." Erin also writes that her daughter started ail-day kindergarten this fall and she is adjusting to the increased free time by trying to finish all the renovations on her house. Susan Greene has an important message for all '84 women. "I can't recall the last time, if ever, I contributed to class notes. But now I feel I must, not because I'm looking for piry or sympathy, but because this is a great opportuniry to serve as a human reminder to my classmates. This March I was diagnosed with breast cancer. The ensuing lumpectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation all made for quite a memorable year, just not quite the memories one hopes to have. My prognosis, however, is excellent, mainly because I caught it early. So I'd like to use this venue to urge my fellow 40-something classmates to get yearly mammograms if you don't do so already. We're not too young. We can get it even with few or no risk factors. A yearly mammogram can make all the difference, between a lumpectomy and a mastectomy, between low and high odds of reoccurrence, and-to purposely, but honestly, sound dramatic-between life and death. If you're reluctant, need coaxing, information, or resources please feel free to contact me. See you at the 82

30th reunion!" Stay well, Susan, and thank yo u. Congratulations to Sarah Fisher, who married her longtime partner, Rick Spencer, on Oct. 1, at her family's summer home in Groton Long Point, CT.Triniry alums in attendance included classmates Laura (Dyson) Evancho and Martha (Cross) Stewart, Kate (C ullen) Fisher '82, Louise Fisher (Sarah's mom) IDP '73, as well as David Cohan , who transferred to Univ. of Pennsylvania after our sophomore year. Sarah has been with Mystic Seaport for 15 years in a variery of positions. "Currently I wear at least two hats as the groups sales manage r (GSM) and locations and production coordinator. As GSM, I work with tour operators and tour leaders in an effort to bring as many groups to the museum as possible. And as locations coordinator, I oversee all still and fum productions that look to use Mystic Seaport as a location for their project. This ranges from commercial photography, documentaries (History Channel, BBC, etc) to major motion pictures (much of A111istad was fumed here)." Sarah says she'd love to hear from friends and classmates with whom she's lost touch over the years. Becky Smith and Ned Ide continue to teach and live at a boarding school north of Philly, The Hill School. Their daughter, Hana, attends as a 9th grader, and their son, Nate, is now 11. Becky is in the middle of completing her studies for a clinical psyc hology Ph.D. They bought a home on the "inner banks" of orth Carolina three years ago and enjoy their long breaks from school in the south and in Falmouth, MA. They often see Carrie Dagres, Randi Stempler-Chen , Pete '83 and Karen Miller '85, and Ned stays in touch with Chip Farnham . ed is proud of the many Hill boys populating the Bam's football team (3), hockey team (4), and soccer team (1).A gathering with Gordy St.John is imminent! Peter Stinson sends greetings from Virginia, where "on the one hand, nothing has changed for years, so there's nothing to write about ... on the other hand, everything has changed ... What's not changed: Still working for the Coast Guard as a civilian employee; I'm still an internal, organizational performance consultant. I'm still living in Olde Towne Portsmouth . I'm also still active in the Coast Guard Reserve and am now completing my 26th year of service. What's changed: I remarried; I have a third son; I fmished my second master's degree; I'm working on a doctorate in organizational leadership and conflict resolution. I'm blogging (see http:/ / tidewatermuse.blogspot.com). I guess that could be considered all big changes, especially the wife and new son bit. And, as you might imagine, I'm very busy. Between changing diapers and writing papers-and everything else we're all faced with-! don't have much time to just sit back. Ah, well, we all make choices, right? Life is good, though. And there's nothing like having a baby at the age of 43 ... Er, that would be the choices and planning thing, again ..." Daniel Barach was profiled in the December 2004 issue of Traders magazine. In his interview with the magazine, Barach, who runs a "smallish Manhattan-based hedge fund called MLT Capital, L.P," says that his favorite courses at Triniry influenced his career. "When I went to college, two courses that I got an A+ in were social psychology, which is all about trying to understand group behavior-and correlates very highly to trying to understand the stock market and the herd instinct-and a course called personaliry, which was all about appreciating individual differences. It was all about, in other words, many of the things I have to do when I am trying to assess whether a CEO's characteristics are a good match for a particular corporate environment." As for your class secretary, I'm still in the Jersey suburbs as editor of The Ridgewood News, but have picked up another part-time position that draws on my culinary background-food editor of (201) The Best of Bergen. magazine. A recent issue included an interview with celeb-
