I've gotten lots of bits and pieces of news from all over lately. Holly Peirce wrote to let us know that she is back from Bolivia, where she was working with the Peace Corps. I've heard that Holly is now living in Miami and is going back to graduate school for finance. . . . Sean Pratt is going to graduate school for a degree in anthropology. . . . Carol Lockwood graduated from Duke University with a dual law degree and a master's in comparative international law. She's now living in Washington, working for Miller and Chevalier, an international trade law firm. . . . Bernie Khoo wrote with news of his wedding in October to Bridgette Costin in Washington, D.C. Bernie is a doctoral candidate in economics at American University and an econometrician for the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States. He and his bride are active musically in a number of orchestras and quartets in the Washington area, and Bernie also is writing a software-based wedding planner! Margaret Small, who was an organist at Colby, and Don Small, who was a math professor, attended the wedding. . . . I talked with Bob Lian, who got married over the summer and is now working as an attorney at a law firm in Washington, D.C. Bob tells me that Chip Smith is working for a democratic political consulting firm in Alexandria, Va., and that Rick Kasten just completed his M.B.A. at Columbia Business School and is working for an investment bank in New York. John Hayworth recently completed a judicial clerkship with a federal judge in Memphis and is now working for a law firm in Nashville. Steve Coan is living in Tampa and working for a life insurance company. Pete Sekulow is living in New Jersey and working on the campaign staff of a state senatorial candidate. Mark Michaud and Amy Farmer married last summer and are living in Washington, D.C., where Amy is still a photo editor with National Geographic and Mark works for Representative Gerry Studds (Mass.). Kathy McKiernan is still with the White House press office. Mike Marcello graduated from American University law school and has a judicial clerkship with the Connecticut court system.

Alex Wyle, in her second year of veterinary school at the University of California-Davis, was also there. Randy Grover wasn't able to make it because he is stationed in Germany right now as an optometrist with the Army. (Randy bought himself a BMW and is having fun buzzing around the Autobahn). Lisa also tells me that Diana Howell is living in Montana and working as a physical therapy assistant. Lisa and Mike live in North Carolina, where Lisa is working as a physician's assistant in a very busy health clinic. Congratulations, Lisa! . . . I also got a typically wacky letter from Dan Spurgin, who is in Lawrence, Kan. Dan is excited about reunion and already has booked his plane ticket for the big weekend. Reading Dan's letter inspired me to wonder: whom do you want to see at reunion? There are lots of people I keep in touch with on a pretty regular basis, and I'm looking forward to partying with them on Reunion Weekend, but I'm most looking forward to reunion because there are some people that I haven't heard from since graduation, and I would love to see them again. For example: Cricket Girvin, how's your life been since the summer of '90? I often think of the people I took Female Experience with, especially the people in my project group. Chris Jones, what's new with you? Roman Azanza, are you gonna be able to make it back to Maine in June? Karen Faunce and Katherine Legasse, how've you been? So how about it? Why doesn't everyone drop a post card in the mail to me with the names of five people you would most like to see at reunion. I'll print them in the column between now and June. I need to hear from you guys to make this work--take five minutes tonight to drop me a quick note, then watch for the next issue of the magazine. And in the meantime, mark the dates for our fifth on your calendar!
