For two years now, Susan French Fine and her family have been in Kampala, Uganda, where she and her husband both work for USAID. Susan's boss, the USAID mission director, is Don Clark '69. Susan reports that conditions in Uganda have greatly improved since their arrival, but at the same time she notes that the magnitude of problems the people face is daunting--with the events in neighboring Rwanda showing how quickly things can unravel. After a home leave this summer, the Fine family--Zachary, born 12/30/94, joined brother Joshua, born 10/21/90--returned to Uganda for two more years. Tourism is rapidly picking up, and Susan would be happy to hear from any Colby folks coming through. . . . Walter Judge Jr. and his wife, Jean C.

They were the second family to move into the new subdivision, and the first few weeks were borderline horror fiction: dark, rainy, no phone lines--and no cable TV for the first month! Aside from the typical house builder's problems, they love their new home and neighborhood. Their two boys, Andrew, 8, and Danny, 6, are a lot of fun and work. Cindy is still a physician assistant at the Great Brook Valley Health Center in Worcester, and Steven is still selling for Barbash Associates Inc. Last year Steven's travels took him to Maine, where he had the opportunity to visit the Colby campus. Jeanne Preso Hillinck met Steve and Cindy's sister-in-law at the Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions last October--both she and Jeanne's husband, David, were competing, with David making it to the finals. The Hillincks have been in Sacramento for a year and like northern California very much.

This summer he appeared as Puss in Puss In Boots at the Adventure Theater in Historic Glen Echo Park. Scott is enjoying renewing old Colby friendships, among them Ross Brennan. He would love to hear from John T.P. Jackson and Sue Sheehan '83. . . . Susan Reese Krevat, who has been volunteering at her daughter's school and also is the editor of the school newsletter, the "Greenwood Grapevine," is considering becoming certified to teach elementary school. Susan and her husband, Matthew Krevat '80, have three children, Bethany, 6, Derek, 4, and Andrew, 2. She would like to know how Susan Kelly, Karen Sommer and Ken Seidel are doing.

Heather is the youngest to earn that title and the only female. Kudos, Heather! . . . Sean McNamara and wife Barb have restored a 1901 farmhouse in Rochester, Minn., and enjoyed (sort of) preserving something wonderful and being able to say you did it yourself. Sean is still marketing manager for electric vehicles at General Motors. If you remember, Sean's division is conceiving a vehicle that is a radical departure from the typical personal transportation in the United States, a very exciting opportunity for Sean and for us all. I will try to get a Colby discount for our class as soon as these vehicles are released from the assembly line. . . . Sue Rogers Howell wrote to update us that her next baby was due in August and that she and Terry, her husband, and daughter Katherine live in Reidsville, N.C.

Steve can be reached by letter c/o USAID, Veljko Vlahovich 26/11, 91000 Skopje, Republic of Macedonia. I will let you know his e-mail address as soon as I hear from him again. Good luck, Steve! . . . Peter Flaherty is in his fourth year of teaching fourth graders at an inner-city school in Minneapolis, Minn. He's working with a "tough population of kids" but feels he is rising to the challenge by making a difference in the lives of some of the youngsters. Peter and his wife, Ronda, have been thrilled as new parents since baby Emma Rose was born in February 1995. . . . Happy holidays to everyone! Please send your news from far or near--and take care of yourselves.

Tim and family have traveled to Hawaii and Disneyland this year and are planning a return trip to Hawaii in December 1995.

Roy is working towards being a Division I head coach. A bonus for his career in basketball is an annual convention and travel to the Final Four. Of the eight Roy has attended in various cities, he has most enjoyed New Orleans and Seattle. When not attending basketball games, he takes in other sporting events, namely the Kentucky Derby, which he attended a couple of years ago with coaches Dick Whitmore and John "Swisher" Mitchell and Chris Vickers '87. Roy says that mint juleps must be an acquired taste.

I'm still with Key Trust Company in Portland, but I was promoted in December and now manage my department in the employee benefits area.
