By George Grattan 
Dear Classmates: 
One of the laws of physics regarding alumni news: there's an inverse relationship between the amount of time you wait to send in your information and the likelihood it will appear. Greenslips at rest (say, at the bottom of your "to do" pile or lounging in the processing files at Holy Cross waiting for others to join them) tend to stay at rest, which means that by the time I get them, it seems a bit absurd to include some of them. Let me know how you feel about this, and, more importantly, get your slips in early and often, as Boss Tweed used to say. 

Now that I've exhausted your patience, the "news": Kathie (Gilligan) Monroe and her husband, Chris, welcomed daughter, Emma Jane, back in September of 1998. Elisa (Barry) and Eric Probst added Hannah Marie to the upcoming census in May of this year, and brought some other projects to term as well: Eric completed his first year as an adjunct professor of legal research and writing at Seton Hall Law School and Elisa got the sheepskin for an M.B.A. from Rutgers in January. Maura Sullivan, M.D., writes "to announce the birth of my son one year late." Sorry, Maura, that must have been an extraordinarily difficult year-Were you going for a record, or something? Maura and husband, John Horiszny, welcomed Kevin John on June 1, 1998, only to watch the kid promptly walk out of the delivery room on his own. Maura and John are both in family medicine, employed by a group practice in the Hudson River Valley in Red Hook, N.Y. They were at Emily Braunstein's wedding this past May, though not exactly through Maura and Emily's Holy Cross connection: turns out Emily's groom, Steve Nazarian, had been friends with John since high school. Yes, it is a small world. 

Deb Fuller, D.M.D., and husband, Brian Gaudette, D.M.D., '89 (Must all of you people have the same careers? It's so ... cozy. ...) announce the arrival of son, Eric David, on Dec. 16, 1998. Deb's finishing a master's in health care management. Paul and Regina (Sharlow) Johnson announce their completion of a hat trick with the arrival of third son, James Francis, on July 21. Acquisition of crusty Uncle Charlie to follow, bratty kid sister only when ratings start to drop. . Maura Damiata married Daniel Silbo on April 24 in Middletown, Conn. Julie Paul and Gregory Pinto were wed over the summer in South Easton, Mass. And just 'cause Julie used to put up with my freshman antics when we were both in Clark, I'm not gonna make an exploding fuel tank joke. Nope. Not one. Kristen (Mahoney) Shannon and her husband, Sam, announce the birth of Kevin Joseph on August 22. 

And now, in their own, nice and current words, via the magic of e-mail, the following correspondents: Tim Hanlon writes "I have recently resigned from Andersen Consulting to accept a position as the HR Manager for the Atlanta office of Deloitte Consulting. I am thrilled about the new opportunity. My wife, Carrie Hanlon, and I are well. Carrie moved from one law firm to another here in Atlanta in the spring of '99. She is currently a litigator at Sutherland, Asbill, and Brennan. We were happy to have a visit from Mark Sweeney this past month. Mark's brief business trip to Atlanta allowed us to share a beer and hear all about Mark and his wife Kelly's baby boy, Matt. We even got to see some pictures of the handsome little guy. As always, our door is open for any friends heading down to Atlanta. Please look us up!" OK, Tim, deal. But be careful what you ask for. ... 

Continuing the hospitable spirit, Kathleen (Kiely) Gouley writes "Just wanted to drop a line to all '91 grads to say hello. I have had a lot of news recently, having finally finished my Ph.D. from the University of Virginia in May. ... It is great to be done, and I have stayed on at Brown University in Providence. I will be kept busy during a two-year fellowship doing clinical work consulting to 15 Head Start classrooms in Newport County, seeing patients at a child psychiatric hospital, and doing research with families of mothers with psychiatric illness. I am also happy to say that I am living in Providence with my husband, Jeff, after our wedding this June in New York. ... Cath McGoldrick, Elieen Whyte, Kathleen O'Connor, and Paula Fishbaugh all were bridesmaids. Also in attendance from the class were Eric and Katie (Greabe) Mick. Both Eileen and Eric had reasons to celebrate, themselves, this spring, as Eileen married in May and Eric finished his doctorate. ... If anyone is in the Providence area (or just wants to watch the show of the same name) and wants to reminisce, drop a line." Congrats on the accomplishments, Kathleen. And yes, I agree with your "expletive deleted" thoughts on dissertations, but we've got a family show here. (Speaking of which, how much would you be willing to pay me to watch that NBC show? I might consider it for remuneration. ... Life is short, you know.) 

From across the electronic globe (it ain't called the World Wide Web for nothing, people) come these lines from Marty Teevan: "I was married on April 17, 1999 to Shevaun Marie Mellifont at St. Catherine's Roman Catholic Church in Holmdel, N.J. I switched jobs in June 1998 and have moved to London as vice president and head of European High Yield Bond Trading at ING Barings. Shevaun and I see Bill O'Connor and his wife, Eileen, who have also recently relocated to London." Since he wrote from five- or six- whole time zones away from me, I almost gave Marty the long awaited prize for Most Interesting Greenslip (yeah, the competition was just that fierce, people), but then read the following from Anthony Oliva. I think you'll agree we've found a winner: 

"I am currently in the third year of my general surgery residency. My wife, Debra, and I were blessed with the arrival of our second daughter, Maria Isabelle, on March 3, 1999. Her arrival was extra-special, since it took place on our bathroom floor at 8 a.m., under the watchful eyes of our two-year old, Gabriella, while I delivered her sister. Thankfully, all went well and Mother and child were fine, but Dad was exhausted, having been in the operating room from 2-5 a.m. that morning, and going on 27 hours without sleep." Not to quibble, Anthony, and you still get the prize, but I bet Debra was a bit tuckered out from the whole experience, too. Did you cut the cord with nail scissors? (What? It's a fair question!) Anthony, I appoint you the winner and authorize you to bother John Hayes in the Holy Cross Annual Fund Office until he sends you some wonderful trinket. Congratulations! (Oh, yeah, on the baby-thing, too.) 

By the time you read this, the holidays will have come and gone, and Y2K hysteria with them. (That line's not gonna look so wise if you're reading this hunkered down in a freezing, abandoned office park, hiding from the mobs while guarding your stash of Spam, but I'm betting it'll all amount to nothing. ...) I hope that you gather with family and friends as much as you can this year to enjoy the blessings that we bring to each other's lives. As Lenny Kravitz said, "We got ta let love rule." Peace and goodwill to you all.
