Well, everyone, it's official. With the graduation of the Class of 1995, we no longer know anyone on campus! It's hard to believe that we've already been out of school for three years. Thank goodness the mail keeps rolling in. Here's what's going on. . . . Camper Dan Belvin, after being promoted to first lieutenant and attending Army Medical Logistics School at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, joined the 3rd Special Forces Group, Fort Bragg, N.C., as a medical logistician/medical supply officer. This new position sent him on an adventure to "jump school," where he managed to sprain an ankle and a knee, damaged a hip and dislocated a shoulder (twice) . . . basically, his job is killing him. Other news he shared with me: Louis Dorogi is teaching at Mount Ararat High School in Topsham, Maine, this fall; Trisha Baldridge is in search of a teaching position in the Portsmouth, N.H., area; and Jay Hermsen plans to return from Fiji this winter. . . . Katie Bredbeck moved to Manhattan and is working at MasterCard International as an associate in the office of the CEO. She has been accepted to NYU to pursue her master's in music education. . . . After spending two years teaching French in Maine, Sarah Poriss has moved across the country to Santa Cruz, Calif., to participate in The Apprenticeship in Ecological Horticulture and Sustainable Agriculture (an organic farming apprenticeship). She lives in a tent on the UC Santa Cruz farm and is learning how to garden, market produce, make compost, manage greenhouses and grow food by working with nature. . . . Caroline Earle checked in recently and filled me in on what's been happening in her life since graduation. After a summer in D.C. as an intern at the Agency for International Development, she spent six weeks driving across the country, finishing up in San Francisco. Though she would have loved to stay there, she headed home to Boston. After a series of jobs--ranging from contributing writer for the Canton Citizen (her hometown paper) to ski instructor--she moved back west to Monterey, Calif., to begin her master's in international policy studies at the Monterey Institute of International Studies. After a year, she was accepted into the Bundestag Internship Program in Bonn, Germany, for a one-year work-study program. She will now head back to the Monterey Institute for her second and final year. While abroad, she caught up with Annie Varanese, who is living in Prague and working as an account executive at Saatchi & Saatchi. . . . Chad Brown has a fairly new position at Penton Publishing in Cleveland as a research analyst. He is living on his own in Cleveland Heights, not far from Case Western Reserve. He continues to cycle competitively and has hopes to watch the Olympics road race in Atlanta next summer. . . . Rachel Klein and Andrew Eldredge are sharing an apartment in Brookline. Andrew is working for Putnam, and Rachel, a new graduate of Penn with her master's in education administration, is in the midst of a job search. . . . By the time you read this, I'll have been a bridesmaid in the wedding of Kelly Evans and Garin Arevian '91 over Columbus Day Weekend on Cape Cod, along with Rachel Klein, Nicole Dauteuil Begin and Helen Suh. Hope things are going well for all of you. Keep the news coming!

His sister, Betsy Morgan '90, recently graduated from Harvard Business School and works in New York City. . . . Alex Moody is a computer specialist for a property management corporation and also is researching and developing two start-up corporations. One is a non-profit in which three of his five business associates are from the former Soviet Union, and the other is a research and informational company that aids families in need of capital to finance college educations. He chose Dave Gabriel, who owns and operates his own construction company, to be his business analyst when it's time to do business with large corporations. Alex is also the assistant varsity hockey coach at Austin Prep and says hello to Mike Maloney, Andy Colligan, Jac Coyne, Chuck Thompson and all Colby hockey players past and present! . . . Questionnaires are sent to a fourth of the class at a time, but I hope all of you will write or call me whenever you have some news to share.

Welcome to the pages of Colby magazine, Class of '95! I guess this is another indication that we finally did graduate, never to return to our carefree lives as undergraduates. So now the question is what, where, and to whom has life brought you since leaving Mayflower Hill? Your classmates and I want to know what you have been up to, what you anticipate being up to, whom you have seen, what you have done, where you have been--or anything else. So even if you have yet to enter the work force, you have a job--writing to me about all the happenings in your and your classmates' lives. It is a big world outside of Waterville, so let's not get lost out there. Keep the class up to date on your post-Colby experiences. And that means everyone! I want to hear from you all so we can all be proud of what each one of us has achieved and accomplished since receiving our diplomas on May 28. Good luck to all of you, and I hope to hear from you soon!
