Greetings! As I’m writing this, those of you in New England are dealing with another storm and are probably ready for something better. The good news is that by the time you read this, it will be mid-April and I hope things are greening up. No news of classmates, but thankfully, Jeff Shiffrin’sdaughter Mikaela, 17, has caused some buzz in the ski community and has given me something to pass along. She became the youngest world champion in the slalom in 28 years. She came from behind in the world championships in Schladming, Austria. She was third after the first run and was able to put together an unbelievable second run to win by .22 seconds. Mikaela is a student at Burke Mountain Academy in East Burke in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom (home of Nessa Flax). The academy has become a significant feeder of the U.S. ski team and is located at the foot of Burke Mountain, one of the lesser-known gems of Vermont skiing.


In other news, I’ve taken a job in Indianapolis, Indiana, having started on February 18. Pat and I will become Midwesterners. It will be an adjustment, but we’re looking forward to the change. After 15 years of watching various shades of blue during basketball season, we’ll have to get used to looking at candy-striped red warm-ups if we like watching the games on TV. We also hope that by the time you’re reading this, our house will have sold in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. In any event, my contact information will remain the same until we move for good. In the meantime, I’m keeping bachelor’s quarters in northeast Indianapolis. The Dartmouth football team will be playing Butler University here in Indianapolis on September 21. I’m sure that will give a lot of Midwestern classmates a chance to get together. 


Best to all, and send news!
