PUB CRAWL!
Also, on Saturday, May 4 there is a charity fundraiser called Bar Golf! Its a walking pub cralw thru Boston's Faneuil Hall area with 9 different drinks at nine bars in 4 1/2 hours. Last year about 200 people showed up! It was a great time. This year it starts at Ayer's Rock at 4:00 pm with an XXXX lager(Australian). Give me a ring or email and I'll send you complete info. There's an optional $5 donation to the Amer. Cancer Society, and you have to pay for your own drinks. So show up and display Dartmouth drinking style for a cause!!

I recently met former Dartmouth trustee and current Secretary of Labor Robert Reich. I saw him at the book signing party for James Carville's book, "We're Right, They're Wrong." He was very happy to meet another Dartmouth alumnus and took time for a picture. As for other news, I look forward to a fun summer working at Goodwin, Procter & Hoar in Boston. I hope to hook up with Boston's Dartmouth crowd and ravage Cambridge.

Chris Peters and Fatima Naqvi('94) have been married 2 1/2 years now. He writes:
"I see plenty of Dartmouth people at Harvard Law and am excited to hear through the grapevine that Dan Weintraub will be working at the same law firm as I will be this summer."

Adrienne Parker is back in school in France and has a new email address PARKER@gwsmtp.hec.fr. Everybody write to her and say hi!
And about me, my research was deemed worthy of a nasa press release. Check out the official web site.

Hey, I thought I'd drop a line saying that things are going well for me in Law School. Getting ready to finish my Second year here at the Dickinson School of Law. I was recently elected Editor-in-Chief of the Dickinson Law Review and I am being kept busy by preparations for publication of upcoming issues of the Journal.

PS. If anyone out there really enjoys Web authoring in their spare time, I am in the process of getting a web site up and running for The Dickinson Law Review. If anyone is interested drop me a line.

Greetings and salutations o fellow '93s! Many of you know I have been walking across the United States. Beginnin in April 1995, I walked 1700 miles from the easternmost point in the US to Tuskegee, Alabama, where in late September I called the winter hiatus due to low funds (apparently, they want me to pay back these things called "educational loans") and my boots being stolen. Since then, I've returned home to St. Louis and have been bartending to save for year #2. On April 4th of this year I expect to resume walking.
It would be very difficult to give an all-encompassing explanation for why I'm doing what I'm doing. Walking directly challenges the spirit and the intellect, the body and the heart. Thus far, I have met thousands of people and found great solitude, starved and feasted, felt the pride of accomplishment alongside a profound humility. Already, it has been the adventure of my lifetime.
Although some call it a walk across America, others call it as they see it: "Couches of '93's: The Tour"
'93's whose couches I've stayed on:
Scott Fisher***
Rob Mascola****
Jeff Allen*
Gregg Serenbetz**
Kelly Foley***
Jay Stachowicz***
Todd (Chadwick) Brady**
* moved out of his apartment, forcing me off the couch
** moved out of their apartments within one month of my being on the couch
*** moved out of their apartments before the end of the year
**** his parents' home (don't know if they've moved yet)
Breakdown of Couches by Class:
'93's: 7
'94's: 1
'95's: 3
'96's: 4
'97's: 1
Most Comfortable Couch:
Jay Stachowicz, Morehead City, NC
Potential Future Couch of a '93:
Aran Kadar, New Orleans
How cool it would be for a '93 or other Dartmouth person to take a random road trip to find "that '93 who's walking across America" on the road, offer some orange juice and/or a couch:
Exceptionally cool
Primary cities I expect to pass through during 1996:
Montgomery, AL; Mobile, AL; Biloxi, MS; New Orleans, LA; Baton Rouge, LA; Vicksburg, MS; Memphis, TN; St. Louis, MO; Kansas City, MO; Lincoln, NE Grand Island, NE; North Platte, NE; Scottsbluff, NE; Casper, WY; Jackson, WY
My permanent address is 6321 San Bonita; Clayton, MO 63105. My father forwards my mail to general delivery stops along the road and would give out my whereabouts if you called him at 314-342-8014 (The '93 Couch Hotline). Also I will be accessible online for two more weeks (thru April 1) at "seanmquinn@aol.com".
For west coast folks, I've been doing a little radio interview gig on KNBR-AM 680 in San Francisco. Last year it was on Wednesday mornings talking with the show's host, Frank Dill. I would assume it might stay on Wednesdays this year, but the time is yet-to-be-determined. Probably early, as I am not a big shot.
I would love to hear from any of you whose imagination is captured by this walking thing; mail helps sustain me.
Peace,
Sean Quinn

After graduation, I went to NYC to work for Goldman Sachs. After two years of being locked up in Goldman's building, I have moved on to sunny California. I am currently a first year at Stanford's Graduate School of Business.
There are tons of Dartmouth alums here but I am the only '93. However, several are considering coming next year!!!
I am thinking about being back in NYC for the summer, but San Francisco is also an option.

I'm headed back to Kenya on 3/8 for a three week trip -- two of which will be spent taking 12 of my high school students on a safari / Maasai manyatta experience, one of which I will be on my own visiting my old host families from my FSP and playing hooky from teaching. To all you folk who FSPed with me, I'll toast a Tusker to you all as I think back with fond memories of our trip; depsite all our Mefloquin mood swings, that was a blast... (T.PETTS, WHERE ARE YOU?)

Any of the rest of you doing alumni interviews? Here's the all-time top quote from mine. We asked the applicant whether she liked teaching individual or group swim lessons better, and she said "Group lessons. Yeah; they're FUNNER." ...OK then! Thank You For Playing! : )

Hi I'm in NYC applying for a joint degree in law and international relations. Ian Haft is also in NYC working for the M & A group at Merrill Lynch and is never seen in daylight (or anytime else for that matter). Ed Rachofsky is a second year in the MD/Ph.D program at Mount Sinai and is also rarely seen. Maxine Lum's now married to Dino Mauricio '90, and after she graduates from Harvard Law will start work at Ropes & Gray in Boston. Matt Egol is getting married to Allana Yoelson, currently a third year at Harvard Law, next fall and is applying to business schools. I hear John Branda is at Harvard Med now. Jason Gold is in his third year at Yale Med doing a rotation in internal medicine right now. Dave Munson is in his second year at Penn Med; Dave Dragseth is engaged to be married next summer with a woman he met in Boston last year. He's also taking a year off from the Divinity program at Harvard to do an internship at a local church. Merrilee Robatcek is working at a lab in Oregon and they just published some big finding on colon cancer. James Land moved back to Texas and is now living in Austin, although he visits to Houston every so often.

I could bore you with pages of what's kept me occupied since graduation, but I'll suffice with a quick run-down, mostly chronological:
1) Graduated
2) Worked for Andersen Consulting(groan)
3) Got married(to Anne Katherine Smith '93)
4) Got a dog(very cool dog, "Bailey" -- chocolate lab)
5) Quit Andersen(yay!)
6) Started "Briggs Technologies, LLC", a small technological computer consulting firm based in Middletown, CT. We provide consulting services to Health Care clients and build products for the Education industry, all while staying on top of bleeding-edge technology and having fun(now you know why we work so hard).
7) Bought house in East Hampton, CT. Plenty of room for Bailey to run around and play with neighboring horses and sheep.
8) Secured very nice suite of offices in Middletown
9) Hired five employees(one of which is Mary Beth Keiller '93). Three to five more openings are still waiting to be filled(qualified '93's send you resume's!)
10) Got pregnant(well, Anne did anyway. But I helped! Our baby boy(well, it was obvious via the ultrasound) is due late May, early June)
11) Discovered '93 web page.
I'm outta breath(and my carpel tunnel is killing me), so this history will have to suffice.
Cheers,
Mark Briggs

I want everyone to write and tell me what they are doing, but I haven't added anything myself in months, so.... I got a picture in National Geographic- the December issue- the background behind O'Dell in the Orion article is from my research. Its not what the article is about but it makes a nice background. My research is being published in the 'less likely to be found in the bathroom' astronomical journal.
Married life is great- we finally got wedding presents shipped so now our living room is filled with boxes.
The sports season for a graduate student includes softball (I get to play midcenter, extra hitter or other 'important' position and frisbee.
Keep writing, and checking the page- it changes a little almost every weekend. And send me some more pictures!
