Milo and Player. In attendance were Ben Kadlec, who is now engaged to Corinne, their wedding is next year in June; Hank Forsyth , who is engaged to Kristine Kane and will get married in May; Basil Seggos , who continues his fabulous work with River Keeper and has had some pretty big wins recently; and Timmy Chick was there too and I believe his move from NYC to Boston is almost complete. In other Trin news, Luke Tan sill and Colin Fitzsimmons just finished the New York Marathon and helped to raise money for Fred's team in the process, in honor of our friend , Everett, who sadly passed away after a battle with leukemia earlier this year." From Cedric Barringer in San Francisco: "Having just finished in June a master's of architecture up at the University ofWashington, my (native Californian) wife's family and our friends of San Francisco were a big enough draw to return here. One of the biggest reasons, of course, was that we wanted to get settled before the arrival of our son, Caden Charles, our first child, who entered the world October 9. It is only coincidence (I swear!) that two of my groomsmen, Tucker Maclean '95 and Jeremy Wilmerding '95, had their first (daughter) and second (son) , respectively, within 10 days of Caden! Tucker is down in LA working in sales for Salesforce.com, and Jeremy is up here in SF working in customer relations at Assermark, an investment house. The Trinity crew here in SF is still strong, and it seems we keep hearing about random encounters with folks we had no idea lived here. Evan Jacobs and Anne Slade were married a few weeks back. We also see the likes of Doug Connelly, Kevin Jenkins, and Sarah Stuckey (all '95) quite often. I have started working with a small residential architecture firm , Walker and Moody Architects, in town here and am loving the challenges of building in the real world-as opposed to a quick semester design charette. I am working on a quite interesting house up in Tiburon, described by the client as a "live-in sculpture." Irrespective of whether or not you like the architecture, you can't argue with her that it is ... interesting, and quite a challenge to build! " Well , by the time the notes come out, we'll be pretty darn close to our 1Oth reunion. Only a few more months to make up some outrageous lies to tell your classmates about what you've been doing the past 10 years. As for myself, I'll probably use the next few months to finish my novel, star in a few off-Broadway plays, and continue working on fmding the cure for hiccups (all while taking care of my newborn quintuplets). See you all in a few months!

Thanks to everyone who submitted for this edition of class notes. I finally figured out what's been missing, oh excuse me, who has been missing from my formula for getting the word out for submissions. That is the one and only Ray Jones. Mr. Jones got on the case and sent out an all points bulletin to the Class of 1997 . In fact the subject of his e-mail was titled, "The juicy gossip, stop rumors, tell me the truth!"We received a few more responses than usual, which is pretty impressive. Bless you, Ray Ray. Ray writes, "OJ Big Tone (Tony Simmons) and I just deejayed and
served as the mcee's at the wedding of Jon Golas and Katie DeConti on Block Island last weekend! Crazy! Clay Siegert, Anthony Rocco, and Johnno (?) were there ... it was like an old school Washington Room party. Nuts! Tony is about to go on tour with Lauryn Hill overseas. He is producing a lor of great tracks and reps from Sony love his sruff. I am still going strong. I sang at Dale Phelps wedding over the summer. That makes three Trinity weddings I have sung in this year. I have made black belt in Tang So Doo karate, and I am coaching high school football at The Haverford School with Jay Wright. I have made it on TV a few times training 76ers and other pro basketball player Jameer Nelson. Other than that I'm just enjoying life." Stephen Jewett recently accepted a job with Connecticare. He is the director of public relations and corporate communications. He and his wife, Abby, are getting nicely acquainted with little Max Jewett, "Pretty incredible to see him grow every week," writes Stephen. Rob Cibotti writes that he and wife, Kathryn Cibotti (Sanders) '96, have a baby girl named HannahViolet Cibotti on May 27, 2005, she was 9 lbs. 1 oz. and 21-inches long. He writes, "She is absolutely the light of our lives and more importantly she looks a lot like her mom. We live in Braintree and work in the Boston area." Lance Harris and wife, Betsy, are expecting their first child this April. Courtney Hadly Zwirn just e-mailed me minutes ago to say that she gave birth , " .. .Ben and I welcomed our first baby, Nathan David Zwirn, on October 29, 2005, at 5:43 am. He weighed 7 lbs., 6 oz. and was 19-inches long. We're settling into life together well and learning to function on less sleep! Fellow 1997 classmates Rich Thickens and Gabbie (Rappolt) Schlichtmann are his godparents. Life is good!" Congratulations to all the new parents. Ryan Saulnier dropped a line from the "left coast." In his own words, "just rocking in the free world. The band is really coming together. Melissa, the violin player, is jamming with us tonight. We hope to be in the recording studio by Christmas. Otherwise, just trying to soak up some sun." My favorite submission is from Mike Poremba: "How's it going? Good to hear from you and hope all is well. I moved to San Fran a few months ago and tha t's all the news for me. No kids-! hope." Nice, Mike, we hope so roo. And Jones 2 alumnus JeffVencus is still rocking in the rugby worlds. Jeff says he's still playing rugby-president of the Hartford Wanderers RFC. He's been married for about a year to a gal named Karen Jones. He bought a house in South Windsor, CT, and has a dog named Paco.And he's working for CIGNA, in Investment Operations.Vencus writes that he sees Kevin Donovan from time to time. KD is married and bought a house in West Hartford. Vencus still stays I contact with Ben Russo. Taylor Campitelli dropped me a line ro say she is living in Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia, selling residential real estate with Coldwell Banker Preferred. I also got an update from former roommate Alyson Guild and husband Jon Freeman '98, who are now parents of two little boys. They reside right outside of Philadelphia. As for Miss Jones, I am freelancing, still working on lifestyle shows for HGTV, Food etwork, PBS, etc. It's been a busy year. Rob and I are simply eating up our little sweetie Justin. He's seven months now with two little teeth. Last night he stood on his own for a good 15 seconds. I think our little friend will be walking by one year... a genius in the making if I do say so myself. Until next time, I bid you adieu! The Alumni Office reports David Alexander Hall Kollock married
