Class of '94

Greetings, all. Hope this new issue finds you happy and healthy. My apologies to those of you who have sent me messages and have not seen your news in the very next issue of the magazine. Because the magazine is published quarterly, and the deadlines for class notes are usually several months before the scheduled mailing date. If I receive your message right after a deadline, I have to hold the news for a few months until the next deadline. So, if you don’t see your news right away, keep looking. It will be printed in the next available issue. Since I’m sure everyone had plenty of news to share with classmates at reunion, this issue’s news is brief. Scott Olson wrote to say that he was recently promoted to a full-time counseling position at consumer Credit Counseling of Massachusetts. An avid golfer, he admits that he is probably the only UVM student not to have gone skiing during his tenure on campus. (Well, if it makes you feel any better, Scott, neither did I.)
