1982

Yes, here I am to give you a bit more up-to-date news on life as it is happening for, to, and with our dear classmates. I felt a bit sheepish reporting marriages a year or so after the fact in last month's column, so, I did more entensive research and am happy to report nuptial bliss that began within the past, let's say, six or seven months.

On April 13 of this year, Barry Eisenberg married Malkie Glick from Montreal, Canada. He graduated from Albert Einstein College of Medicine on June 4. In May, Anchie Kuo married Lynn Hellenbeck '83 in Easthampton, Long Island. (This announcement is courtesy of JackOakes, who has been coaching high school lacrosse in Bethesda, Md., and is just beginning business school at the University of Virginia.) Bill Crenshaw wed C.C. Hauge '84 in August in Jackson Hole, Wyo., with fellow 'B2 groomsmen John Kaplan, John Colon, and SteveMcCarthy. Bill and C.C. will be living in New York City while Bill continues with his medicial training. Also in August, Malcolm Robinson tied the knot With Tracy Mergenthaler, a Vassar graduate. Malcolm is an advertising account executive for DFS Dorland Worldwide in New York. And the most recent announcement in this wedding world reports that RussGombosi married Juliann Wanzie in between completing his medical degree from Hershey (he says he minored in chocolate cuisine) and beginning his internal medicine/peiatries residency in Springfield, Mass. John Carrington, DickO'Meara, and Scott Hacker were in Russ's wedding party. Lots of kisses and smiles all around.

Shall we move on to babies now? We have had at least a couple of additions to the realm of second generation '82s. DreaPapp Thorn writes that she and her hubby, Craig Thorn, had a son, Craig Alexander Thorn, earlier this year. (Alison Schmults is the godmother.) Drea took a break from her law schooling to begin her family, but will finish her Harvard degree in June 1987. She will then begin work at the Boston law firm of Bingham, Dana and Gould. On April 24, Tim Geibel became the father of a bouncing baby boy, Michael Bud Geibel. Two days after starting his paternal duties, Tim was best man in the marriage of fellow classmate Scott Ahrendt and Teresa Teske. And that is, at this point at least, the up-to-the-minute news of marriages and births within the world of '82s.

Received a nice letter from GregoryGardner, an '82 who actually completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Colorado. Gregor is now working for Outward Bound's White Water program in Jensen, Utah and will begin International Business School at Thunderbird in Phoenix this Fall.

Tom Frazer writes that he spent two years working for Comtron, saved a hunk of money, and has been taking a slow trip around the world. Tom has published articles on China and Nepal to his credit and is currently working on a third. He is beginning a career in the importation of products from the Far East.

Wendy Richter spent this past summer in the Far East, Japan to be exact, studying in an MIT-sponsored program. Wendy is currently in architectural school at MIT.

A bit closer to home, Jenny Jones has been teaching in New York City for three years now, has just been appointed head of the drama department at Poly Prep in Brooklyn, and is in the process of finding a new abode to facilitate this move off the island. Congrats Jenny! Further south, Bill Shields tells us that he graduated from the University of Florida Law School in May of 1985 and that he has been practicing law in Tampa with a firm specializing in construction/civil engineering law. He recently published a how-to-manual entitled Architect/Engineering Liability UnderFlorida Law.

Robbie McGrath writes that he is doing lots of skiing water and snow out in the far reaches of Idaho. John Middendorf is also out yonder and outside a lot -John is on the Yosemite Search and Rescue Team and is pursuing a career in endurance rock climbing. He writes that he has accomplished numerous one-day ascents of El Capitan and that he also accomplished many other first one-day ascents of other big walls in Yosemite. Talk about aspiring to great heights!

And so ends this month's items of newsworthy mention to you. Do drop a note or a letter and let us know what's up in your life. See you next month. Em.
