October 1996

Hi Everyone!

As you start new jobs, new graduate programs, etc, make sure you send me your updated e-mail and address information. I'll make sure that it gets to the right places!

Speaking of moving on, Gwen Lee provided this update about the Chem E Practice School folks: "Shinya Fukuda, Fouad Saad, Patrick Piccione, and myself are going to Merck for the month of June and Molten Metal Technology for July and August, while Yee-Chuan Koh, Anna Chwang, Augustin Martinez, and John Paschkewitz are going to Molten Metal Technology first for one month, and Down Chemical for the latter two. Boy, isn't this going to be a great, fun, and productive summer! On a personal level, I will be starting my full time position at A.T. Kearney in New York at the end of September. I am very excited that I will be joining the New York crowd and I hope it is going to be a lot of fun."

Clara Yang, who got her MS in Mech E this June, is planning to travel cross country with Brian Dye '96. She will be in Atlanta for the Olympics before starting work at Procter & Gamble full time in Cincinnati. Brad Brewer just finished up Intermediate Naval Flight Officer training down in Pensacola, FL, and has selected the E-2C Hawkeye as my aircraft. He's moving to Norfolk, VA, to complete the airborne early-warning syllabus and should have his wings by the beginning of November. His roommate, Jeremy DeYoung, is in pilot training and just did his first solo around mid-May. He claimed that it was his best flight yet. However, Brad says "that is like claiming you got a hole-in-one golfing by yourself."

Carrie Miller just finished the first of two years in the Master's of Public Policy program at the Kennedy School of Government at the Little Red Brick Schoolhouse. This summer she's working for Lew Branscomb, Brian Kahin, and Charles Nesson on the Information Infrastructure Project at Harvard. Annie Fortunato is taking a year-long leave of absence from Columbia graduate school to teach high school for a while on long Island. She will be at Woodmere Academy. Keith Jackson will be at Pratt and Whitney in North Haven, Conn. from June through December this year on his Leaders For Manufacturing internship. He'll return for classes in the Spring and plans to graduate next June.

Manoj Wunnava is in Alabama and Texas this summer for various air force activities (he's attending George Washington Medical school and is in the Air Force medical service crops (reserve) as a second lieutenant) He expects to be back in D.C. in August with an intervening trip to Miami in the works. Ken Nollett has a research job for the summer, although he hopes to finish his project and submit a paper in the next couple of weeks so he can spend the rest of the summer studying for the dreaded PhD candidacy exam. He got a visit from Tom Bruno and Rich Damaso over Memorial Day weekend. Rich, who is currently living and working in Cambridge and singing with the Tanglewood Festival Chorus, was on his way to Iowa to pick up his dog. Erin McCoy also earned a spot in the Tanglewood chorus, and is currently working at the MIT Bursar's Office. Pareen Dhalla is happily playing in LA. She is halfway through an MS in Communication Systems at USC and is loving working for a living at TRW. She's playing lots of ball in Hermosa Beach and says life is good!

That does it for this time. Note my address change below - I decided that my work address would be better for correspondence since it's more permanent than my apartment address right now. (I'm planning to move at the end of August.)

Until next time!
