The Blue Light

Erin Ireton Elliot writes from Mill Valley, Calif., where she and family have settled after two moves in the last year. Erin is devoting her time to raising Conner, 5, and Elizabeth, 2, while husband David is VP institutional services for Roberson Stephens Co. After not seeing Cindy Flandreau Helfrich '79 since graduation until last year, Erin and Cindy are now only a few miles apart. . . . Warren Rosenthal lives in Berlin, Md., where he is director of economic development for Worcester County. He and his wife, Lynne (an Internet marketer), have two children, Benjamin, 6, and Gregory, 2. . . . Michael Childers was promoted recently to director of sales and marketing at Antec Corp., a publicly traded company (NASDAQ) that manufactures and sells equipment to the cable television industry. He and wife Allison live in Chicago, Ill. . . . Paul Kudlich is interested in hearing more news of Marty Young Stratton, Nancy Johnson Kymila and Barb Neal. He is spending more time with his children, Nathan, 7, and Morgan Leigh, 4, since his separation. . . . Jim and Laurel Munson Lowe are enjoying having a new baby in St. Louis (Sarah, 1) and getting plenty of help from Sarah's three siblings--Jenny, 13, Chris, 11, and Toby, 8. Four cats and five mice complete the family tableau. Jim teaches classics at John Burroughs School while Laurie classifies her job as mom and chauffeur, with regular fares to Scouts, choir, music lessons, sports, etc. . . . Elaine Regan Driscoll is the proud "at home mom" and full-time volunteer to four great kids, all of whom, she reports, outsmart her on a daily basis. The recent arrival of baby John has renewed Elaine's facility with "all-nighters" and thrilled siblings Matt, 9, Alicia, 7, and Danny, 4. The family, including husband Dan '78, a surgeon, lives in Milton, Mass. Dan bumped into Pam Poindexter and her family while the Driscolls were skiing in Bretton Woods last February. . . . Jacqueline Low Chee also reports a new baby, Christopher John Chee, born last May. Congratulations! . . . The big news at my house is that my own little nipper, aka Jed, is starting to walk, so Diana and I expect to be back in the home market soon to satisfy his insatiable appetite for new and uncharted territory. Please send your own baby brags, gossip or even legitimate news to me, e-mail or at home.
