The Blue Light

We have a few new proud parents in the ranks of the Class of 1990! I received a cute birth announcement from Tracy and Matt Hancock announcing the birth of their daughter, Sarah Shane Hancock, on November 8, 1996. Sarah lives with her mom and dad in Casco, Maine, and reports her current hobbies as sleeping and eating, but I'm sure she'll expand her horizons to include dribbling in no time. . . . Jill Sinclair Smith sent word that she and Scott are living in Bangor, Maine, and have a daughter, Taylor Mackenzie Smith, born on July 3, 1996, and two dalmations. Jill has worked for Fleet Bank of Maine in a variety of positions since we graduated, and Scott is now working for the James River Corporation in Old Town. Congratulations to all! . . . Paul Tolo wrote that he is still living out in the Seattle area and working for Ars Nova Software. Paul married Jennifer Crowe last summer in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho (Graham Powis was in the wedding party). Jennifer is a resident physician, and Paul is working on a master's in information systems management at Seattle Pacific University. . . . Mark Smith sent word that he and his wife, Patty, are living in Lawrenceville, N.J., where they both are employed as research scientists for Bristol-Myers Squibb. Mark and Patty got married during the blizzard of 1993; Mike Grant, Marc Duchette, Jim Reduto and Dan Erving were all in the wedding party. . . . Pete Sekulow is living in Washington, D.C., and working as director of earned media for the National Republican Congressional Committee. Pete tells me that he saw Amy Farmer-Michaud, Tripp Johnson '89, Randy Barr '89 and Rob Young '88 at the Alumni Swim Meet last November. . . . Scott Schirmeier is now living in Washington, D.C., working for a firm that does financial and strategic analysis of the changes in the health care industry and then educates doctors and other decision makers about how managed care is changing the industry as a whole. Last fall, he and John Kinsley ran the Marine Corps Marathon and plan to run the New York City Marathon this year. . . . Mike Smith is living in the Boston area and working as a physical therapist and athletic trainer. He tells me that he keeps in touch with: Brian Clement (Brian and his wife have a new daughter); Jeff Merrill and his family; Dave Carney, who recently got married; Matt Gibbons '91, Will Leadley '91, Glenn Thurlow '91 and Steve Loynd '91. Mike is sad to report that Tim Bernard '91 lost his struggle with brain cancer last fall. . . . Lisa Ensign Timbrell and her husband, Stefan, are living in New London, N.H. Lisa is the manager of the Artisan's Workshop and does some freelance editing on the side; Stefan works in real estate. . . . Scott Sullivan and his wife, Dawn Kelly Sullivan, are living in Norwalk, Conn. Scott is a physician assistant in general surgery at the Norwalk Hospital, and Dawn is a research assistant with Bayer Pharmaceuticals. Scott hasn't kept in touch with his friends from the basketball team but says hi to them all. . . . Mike and Deb Wood O'Loughlin are the proud owners of a Bernese mountain dog named Phoebe. Mike is a radiology resident at the Hartford Hospital, and Deb is director of educational programs at the Noah Webster House. . . . Julie Tarara wrote that she's now living in Manhattan, Kan. She received an M.Phil. in horticulture and agricultural meteorology from the University of Reading, England, last year on a British Marshall Scholarship and is now working to complete her Ph.D. in environmental physics. . . . Stay tuned for more updates in the next column.

For those of you (like myself) who aren't set up to surf, keep those cards and letters coming!
