Happy New Year to everyone. This column is printed after the holidays but gives that holiday-cheer-all-year feeling. Please give the gift we can all enjoy: your news. I can't wait to hear from you. Thanks! Kelly Burke Corwen happily reported that she had gone back to work for Dun and Bradstreet as manager of financial strategy. She's thrilled to be able to have a more flexible schedule, which allows for more time with the guys at home--husband Bob and sons Sean, 4, and Connor, 2. I know from my own experience that to be able to have some time at home with the children has been invaluable and wonderful for our family, and I could feel Kelly's joy at being able to work two of her four days in her home office. Kelly and Bob keep in touch with George and Deb Bombaci Pappas, who are doing well in Littleton, Mass. They also noted that Regina and Nick Silitch have a new baby. The Corwens and the Pappases had dinner with Mary and Chip Rooney, who also are doing well. . . . Dave Berno wrote from St. Albans, Vt., to keep us posted. He's an insurance broker with Coburn Insurance of Burlington, Vt. He's been with Coburn for almost 10 years and is busy on the road in Maine, New Hampshire and Rhode Island but keeps current on Colby sports teams each season. Sons Dylan, 8, and Brendan, 6, are his life. Dave coaches both in hockey and Little League baseball. . . . Tom Ahern claims to be "mellowing out with age." Somehow I'm sure he's got more time to mellow, especially since he and his wife, Susan (Hamano '84), still have to drive around the kids, Shelby, 11, and Thomas, 8. Tom is an account manager for a computer software company near Boston, and Sue is a conference director. . . . From London, Emily Baker wrote of her satisfaction with the balance of motherhood and career. Zoe, 1, lives with Emily and her husband, Shu-ming Peng, a European equities trader. Emily is establishing her freelance career. (I really do love hearing from those of you who write. On occasion, especially now that I'm entering my seventh secretarial year, some of you will write to tell me you like the news and often send encouragement. Thanks!) . . . Lisa Campbell Bourgeault and hubby Dominique live in Gansevoort, N.Y., where Lisa is a credentialed alcoholism counselor and Dominique is in the restaurant business. Their daughter, Melanie, 2, was the reason they weren't with us at reunion in 1993. . . . A quick hello from Noble and Mariellen Sullivan Carpenter. They are in Bronxville, N.Y., where Noble is a real estate vice president and Mariellen is in brand management. They are expecting child number three in April to join siblings Noble III, 3, and Nicole, 1. . . . Cynthia Trone Berger gave us her new Burlington, Vt., address. Husband Denis owns the Symmetree Company there. They've been busy with Jackson, 3, and Kayla, 1. . . . Also busy with kids is Jenny Knoll Bouchard in Evanston, Ill. She and Page, her husband, are settled in the Chicago area and are about to begin the process of rehabbing their Victorian home. Son Shane is 2. . . . Jen Thayer's letters from Egypt are packed with nuance and the essence of travel. She recently wrote from Cairo, having returned from a trip to Syria--incredible details of a busy and eventful two-week journey through centuries-old archaeology. Jen will return to the U.S. to job search, hoping to find something that will keep her in the Middle East, which, she says, is "still a frontier to conquer culturally and liguistically." Jen is our link to Scott Stein, who was "close to moving" to New York and looking for a job, and to Barb Leonard and Dan Marra, who are in Waterville. . . . Keep those cards and letters coming . As you know, postage is now 32 cents domestically, so your gift of writing is even more valuable. My best to you all!

Rick and Deb Pernice Duffy are boasting about their new little addition, Joseph Robert, who arrived last May.
