Class Note 1988
Issue
January-February 2023
Greetings, ’88s.
I am pleased to share updates about several classmates who are exploring exciting paths in business, public service, and art.
Pauline Garris Brown writes: “After 15 years of living on the North Shore of Long Island, tending to kids, dogs, plants, and, where possible, my career, I recently moved back to New York City, where I teach a course (‘Business of Aesthetics’) at Columbia Business School, host a weekly radio show on SiriusXM, and serve on a few corporate boards. I also run an e-learning platform called Aesthetic Intelligence Labs, which teaches professionals how to tap into and capitalize on their own aesthetic gifts. I’m in touch with a few classmates—most recently, Larissa Roesch, Michelle Stowe Ong, and Lee (Asher) Prince—and enjoying the creativity and freedom of this new chapter.”
In July Steve Dettelbach began a new chapter of his own, as he became the director of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), appointed by President Biden and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. Steve previously served as the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Ohio, as a federal prosecutor, as a trial lawyer in the civil rights division of the U.S. Department of Justice, as a partner at BakerHostetler, and as a law clerk in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Steve, who went to Harvard Law School, has won many awards in his hometown of Cleveland and beyond, and we congratulate him on his new position. (Read more about him on page 18.)
Moira RedCorn, who lives in Oklahoma and continues to practice psychiatry, is also an accomplished artist. She works in a variety of mediums, including leather, metal (silver, copper, brass), beads, fabric and painting (oil and watercolor). Most recently, one of her beautiful paintings was featured at the Osage Nation Museum in Pawhuska, Oklahoma, which is the oldest tribal museum in the country. Moira’s work also was part of a group exhibition this year in Tulsa called TVLSE: Converging Indigenous Art.
A digital media artist and educator in New Hampshire, Barbara Rita Jenny creates works of art that transform brain microscopy and macroscopic photographs of human flesh into ornate patterns by applying complex geometric equations. She has focused on the “complicated and mysterious science of the brain” as she tries “to make sense, make order, cut and realign and paste like placing ephemeral Band-aids on invisible wounds.” Barbara recently has shown her work at the NU Roux Institute in Portland, Maine, and has won many prestigious awards and grants, including the N.H. Charitable Foundation Artists Advancement Grant. Barbara, who received her M.F.A. from Maine College of Art, is a leader in her community, serving numerous arts-based organizations.
Wishing you all the best in the new year, and I look forward to hearing from you soon!
