Born to Liza DiPrima '89 and Matt Cibula '88, a daughter, Emma on October 27, 1995. Matt reports,"Emma and Liza are fine, except that the latter is sore and tired and the former goes to the bathroom in her pants. Emma was eight (8) pounds and one (1) ounce, and was twenty-one inches long, leading to speculation that she may someday play power forward for the Portland Trailblazers. As far as we can tell, Emma is Liza from the middle of the nose up, and me from the middle of the nose down. She's butter, pure butter." Liza works in children's educational publishing and Matt recently wrote a children's book entitled "Slumgullion the Executive Pig" (available at kids' bookstores).

Mischa Frusztajer '89 sends greetings from Moscow! He writes, "Since graduating from the Harvard Business School in June of '95, I have been working in a start-up called Lexington Investment Group, splitting my time mostly between Boston and Moscow. We make direct investments in Russian companies, with a focus on technology and manufacturing. When in Moscow I am taking advantage of the rich cultural offerings by attending concerts, dance performances and plays. I often see classmates Jack Orchard and Charlie Ryan, who are running an investment bank here. Would love to see other '89ers who find themselves in Moscow.

Dave Bell's brief post-graduation update: "After graduation, I spent a year helping build and race a solar-powered car across the U.S. I studied self-navigating wheelchairs for blind people at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, finishing with a PhD in Mechanical Engineering in August '94. Since then, I have split my time between starting a company to continue my PhD research and working as an engineer designing small, cheap electric vehicles for the Indian and Chinese markets.
