My apologies for omitting Kendall Burney Savage from the list of our Class Executive Committee
members. Give a rouse for Claudia
Leis Bolgen received the Mary C. Fitzpatrick Children and Family Law Award
from the Massachusetts Committee for Public Counsel Services in recognition of
her outstanding legal services, commitment to the representation of children and
parents involved in care and protection, children in need of services and
termination of parental rights cases. This award is presented annually by the
Committee for Public Counsel Services, the Mass state public defender office.
Claudia practices law with her husband and law partner Stig Bolgen in the law
firm of Bolgen & Bolgen in Woburn, Mass. Another rouse goes to Amy
Smith McCormack who
is working for NJ Children and Family Services in the adoption division,
giving families to kids who have lost their families for whatever reason.
She’s also a single mom with a wonderful daughter. I didn’t want to change a
word of what Heather Richmond
wrote: “I’m very blessed to find myself part of the huge hit Broadway show
“The Producers.” I am the Assistant Wig Supervisor and spend most of
the show running around changing actors from showgirls to little old ladies to
Bavarians to Nazi storm troopers to sexy prison matrons. It’s a bit surreal,
but a great gig and the jokes still make me laugh after six months of work. I've
gotten to meet lots of celebrities, including Clinton and Gore (NOT on the same
night), Alan Greenspan, Julie Andrews, Carol Burnett, and Mel Brooks alumni Gene
Wilder, Harvey Korman, Peter Boyle, and Dom DeLuise. While we were trying
out the show in Chicago, I got together with Sean
O'Hearn a few times. He’s just started a career with Southwest
Airlines and is doing very well. Most of my free time in Chicago was spent
at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, getting diagnosed with Pulmonary Sarcoidosis.
(I don't recommend getting seriously ill while on the road. But if you
must, try to do it in Chicago. Northwestern and its staff are great!)
My doctor assured me that I have a “run-of-the-mill” case of this fairly
rare lung disease, and it should run its course in a year or so. In the
meantime, my hobby of singing is on hold. If any of you is lucky enough to
have tickets to “The Producers,” please feel free to drop by after the show
for a backstage tour. But I am sorry to say that I cannot get you
tickets…” Michael
Poloukhine, his wife and three kids moved to a new home in North
Haven, CT. It is a bigger house with a big yard (2+ acres), woods and a brook in
the back. They find it very exciting, especially when they find 6' snakes in the
bushes while trimming the lawn. In June Michael took over ownership of The
Mead Group, the architectural firm in West Hartford, CT at which he’s been
working for the past five years. The firm offers a wide variety of
architectural services in New England, primarily CT, MA, NY, VT. Check out the
Web site that Mike built: www.themeadgroup.com
(shameless plug for work). He is still windsurfing whenever he can and is still
working on his forward loop (as if we’re all a master doing that). In June, Jeff
House joined ePartners as a sales executive. Jonathan
Miller married Wendy Cooke on July 28, 2001, and they are living near
Seattle in Bellevue, Washington. Jonathan continues to work as an editor at
World Vision, a Christian relief and development organization.
