What do mangoes, Martha Stewart, ministry and minivans have in common?
The Class of '86! Read on! I received an e-mail message from Ricardo
Sieveking in Guatamala. Ricardo lives with his wife and two sons in
Guatamala City and works for a company that exports commodities like coffee
and--you guessed it--mangoes. He asked me to track down Dan Hurley for
him, which I tried to do. Dan, please contact me and I'll give you Ricardo's
e-mail address. . . . Meg Frymoyer Stebbins and her
husband, Peter, are busy with their two daughters in Chatham, N.J. It sounds
like Meg's job in New York in the design and advertising field is also keeping
her busy. Her company recently completed a book for that hausfrau from hell,
Martha Stewart! I hope you checked for typos, Meg. . . . Jill
(Wertz '88) and Doug Scalise have settled on Cape Cod, where Doug is the
pastor of Brewster Baptist Church. He also has begun work on a doctor of
ministry degree. Doug and Jill and their two sons would love to see classmates
who are visiting the Cape. They live next to the church on 6A between Routes
124 and 137, so stop by! . . . "John Pelletier is a
minivan owner, poor guy," writes John Rafferty. John enjoys keeping in
touch with classmates John Kelemen, Jay Burke and Phil Guarino
and their spouses and children. John and his wife, Geri, live in Hartford,
Conn., where John is director of annuity marketing at Mass Mutual and Geri is a
substance abuse counselor for HIV heroin addicts. . . . Bob
Sidman and his wife, Laura, may also be mini-vanners. Their daughter Erica
is 2, and they expected baby #2 in March. Bob is an emergency physician at
Rhode Island Hospital, Brown University in North Kingstown,
R.I. . . . Amy Scott and her husband, Andy Vanecek,
do not yet need a minivan--their family unit includes only each other and their
pet guinea pig, Bluff. In February, Amy wrote to say she was both house hunting
and job hunting for an English teacher position. I hope by now that Bluff has a
new roof over his head and that Amy is shaping young minds in Fairfield
County. . . . Speaking of shaping young minds, Bob
and Beth Schwartz Kenney e-mailed me from their home in Lynchburg,
Va., where Beth is an associate professor of psychology at Randolph-Macon
Woman's College and Bob is a partner at TwoWork Corporation. They have a
daughter, Lauren, 2, and expected another child in
May. . . . Deb Pernice Duffy and her husband, Rick,
sent me a birth announcement for Caroline May, who joined Hannah, 4, and Joe,
2, last August 23. Deb took a leave of absence until April from her job at the
Environmental Protection Agency in Washington, D.C. The Duffy family lives in
Cabin John, Md. . . . Rest assured that the First Amendment rights of
your class correspondent will be protected. Diane Smith has informed me
that she is a civil-rights attorney and that she is married to an attorney, Ted
Wenk. They have two cats and live in Hamburg, Mich.
. . . Lisa Rydin, also an attorney, hopes that her recent
move from the world of big law firms to Scudder, Stevens & Clark, a mutual fund
company specializing in retirement plans, will mean fewer hours at the office.
Lisa lives in Hingham, Mass. . . . I got a great letter from Julie
Archer Tunney in Harare, Zimbabwe. Julie married Zimbabwean Sean Tunney in
July 1995. They plan to move to the States in the late spring and hope to
travel for a few months in the U.S. before finding work. She sends greetings to
the Class of '86. . . . I'm looking into creating a homepage for
the Class of '86 as part of Colby's Website. Send me suggestions (and volunteer
to help, please!). To see the alumni section and pages for other classes, go to
http://www.colby.edu/alumni/ and look around. Happy summer!
