Mystery Classmate 034

Congratulations to Milton Koutavas, Dan Talbert, Jeff Buchanan, Erin Burgard DiPerna, and Kristin Burgard, all of whom correctly identified Mike Williams ('86) as Mystery Classmate 034 and are listed in the order that their responses were received.

In case you were wondering, Mike reports that he is "sadly, not doing the Baywatch gig as the picture might imply. I'm working on Wall Street as Director of European Equities at Westdeutsche Landesbank, where I've been for eight years selling our trading ideas to US pension funds and mutual funds. I finally succumbed to marriage last May and now live with my wife Shauna and teenage stepdaughter Sarah in the upper west side of Manhattan. If anyone is visiting the area, just give us a shout - we'd love to see ya!"

Several classmates took issue with the previous week's claim that Gretchen Grindle and Geoff Camphire are the only prom couple in Churchill history ever to marry. Megan Mahoney and Margaret Fleming Rintamaa report that the Class of 1986 can claim at least two, and possibly as many as four married prom couples, all of whom remain together today. These include Crissy Fiano and Gary Cervi; Megan Mahoney and Jim Thompson; Kim Delserone and Jeff Mauro; and Denise Kavo and Jim Nese. (I was happy to hear this, although it was my understanding that at least one of those girls had married Ben Williams.)

In addition, David Kortyna and Melissa (Mahoney) Kortyna report that Mark Ferguson and Sue Bentz from the Class of 1981 were prom dates who later married and also remain together. Congratulations to all!

Joe Caprara guessed Bill Blake, or Meredith Berg.
