The flow of news has slowed to a trickle, but here's what I've heard about our friends in the past few months. I got a great letter from David Coleman, who is the manager of special projects for The Advisory Board Committee, a research firm in Washington, D.C. He's been working on technology projects for them, including their Web site. Tom McClintock, Scott Schirmeier and Lisa Prenaveau Andrzejewski '93 also are working for The Advisory Board Committee. Dave sees Cinda Jones and Peter Read-Smith '92 on a fairly regular basis, as well as Jennifer Lim Nitchman '91 and her husband, David. Dave spent some time last summer hiking in the Shenendoah National Park with Scott Perley and also drove across the country with Nancy Spellman '89, who was relocating to D.C. from San Francisco for the summer. The two of them trekked through Tahoe, the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park and Arches National Park. From there it was on to Denver, Colo., where they visited with Rebecca Pease Henning '91 and her husband, Matt. Becky and Matt were married in Maine early last summer. Dave also passes along the sad news that his beloved bumper-sticker-festooned 1977 Chevy wagon failed to pass inspection last spring. We all send our condolences, I'm sure. I've heard from other sources that David has been spotted at the wheel of a BMW; none of them, however, mentioned the presence of an I Eat My Roadkill bumper sticker. Thanks for all the news, Dave. . . . Jan Berry wrote to me a few weeks ago to let me know that she has begun a new job as the public and professional relations coordinator at the Maine State Bar Association in Augusta, Maine. She's now living in Damariscotta and is planning a June wedding. Her husband-to-be, Craig Zenter, is a graduate of Maine Maritime Academy. Good luck in the new job, and congratulations, Jan! . . . I recently attended a production of Sam Shepard's play Buried Child at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge. After taking my seat, I realized that I was sitting right near Beth Reutlinger '91, who told me she had seen Mark Cosdon '89 in the audience. Mark directed a production of Buried Child at Strider Theater in 1988, with Beth playing the role of Shelly. (I wasn't the most unbiased critic in the audience, but I much preferred Mark's interpretation of the play to the one I saw at the ART that night.) Mark is working on a Ph.D. in theater history at Tufts University and working as a research assistant at Harvard University; his wife, Hanna, is working on a degree in social work. Beth is now married, living in Arlington, Mass., and working for an organization that makes arrangements for foreign-exchange students. . . . That's all the news I have for now. Please please please please write to me--I need you guys to make this column a success!
