To answer your question, Barney<br />
Gallassio, it's about 70<br />
degrees (in March) in Los Angeles.<br />
Barney informed me in<br />
January that it was only three<br />
above at his home in Ohio. He<br />
is director of customer service for Merck,<br />
the world's largest mail service pharmacy,<br />
setting up the corporation's first stand-alone<br />
call center. Barney also had news of other<br />
classmates. Last year he attended the wedding<br />
of my neighbor Peter Morris to Laurie,<br />
who works in the fashion retail industry.<br />
Their ceremony was unique, done in a<br />
medieval setting with goblets, groaning<br />
boards, the works. Also in attendance were<br />
Saul Behar, John Contino, Dan Kiefer,<br />
and Mark Kirsch. Mark, an assistant US<br />
attorney, was recently married, himself, to<br />
Deborah Feyerick, a reporter for "New York<br />
1 News." The couple resides in Manhattan.<br />

the IBJ Foundation Inc., married Jay Palmer<br />
in Boston, also last November. Jay is the<br />
president of a New York City interior design<br />
firm. A classmate that's been very busy<br />
is Suzanne Muller Ishimura. In addition to<br />
her "day job" as an interior designer (thankless,<br />
isn't it?), Suzanne is an accomplished<br />
sculptor, who shows her bronzes in galleries<br />
and shows throughout the country. She<br />
works at her Oakland home, where she lives<br />
with husband Jim, an architect.<br />
I must thank former Class Correspondent<br />

awarded a Rotary International Foundation<br />
study exchange. In addition, Caroleen<br />
recently enjoyed attending the closing performance<br />
of the Broadway hit The Will Rogers<br />
Follies with former-roommate Ellen<br />
Bobka. She also let me know that Amy<br />
Siegle La Gambino is the proud mother of<br />
Louis, born last year.<br />
Judy Binderman has come to the realization<br />
that, with her decision to buy her<br />
own home, she is truly an adult. Becoming<br />
a doctor wasn't enough, Judy? She is in<br />
touch with Liz Forman, who moved in February<br />
from North Carolina to Connecticut.<br />

investments is Angelo Mandarano. He<br />
