Mystery Classmate 059

Congratulations to Coleman Brennan, Chuck Zimmerman, Beth Chufo Nichols, Ken Van Cara, Sharon Wasko Skoff, Carrie Schadle, Pam Van Cara Collis, Jennifer Machovec Buchanan, Bill Stout, Ellen Broadberry Gallagher, Maria Wojtaszek Romanelli, and Stu Cohen, all of whom correctly identified Alice Lin ('85) as Mystery Classmate #59 and are listed in the order that their responses were received.

In case you were wondering, Dr. Alice Lin Welch is a 2000 graduate of the cellular and molecular physiology program of the Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences at Tufts University and is now completing her postdoctoral fellowship at the American Red Cross in Bethesda, MD.

Many of you had fond recollections of Alice. Stu Cohen remembered Alice as a leader and a great musician. Bill Stout remarked that Alice was so talented that she and Bill didn't have any classes together. Pam Van Cara Collis wrote that she never knew anyone nicer than the Lin sisters. Chuck Zimmerman reported that the Lins moved to Barton Drive in 1982.

Others weren't done talking about Mystery Classmate #58, Dan Talbert. Amy Chufo Prezelski said that Dan and Johnny Shoop used to chase her during recess in elementary school, when they weren't playing kickball or Star Wars. Beth Chufo Nichols denied that she and Dan ever worked together, but surmised that Dan was visiting her office for academic advising.

Donna Andreas Copley guessed Alice's sister Ellen, or Alice herself, but couldn't remember Alice's name. Although she knew it was wrong, Karen Campbell Ricci guessed Cissy Kabbert.
