There are several ways to become a member of the Columbia College community. One is to actually attend the College, sit through at least 124 credit hours, and four years later (or less if you're particularly bright) graduate with a degree. Another way is to marry a Columbian, which prior to 1984 was the only way for a woman (why she would want to, now that's a mystery). You could receive an honorary degree, I guess, but it's not a path one can depend upon. Finally, I think the nicest way is to be born into it.

Which leads me to announce the birth of Joseph Facciano Diller, the son of Bradley R. Diller and Pauline R. Facciano (UC Berkeley). Bradley, his wife and son reside in San Francisco, one of the country's greatest cities. I'm sure Bradley and Pauline are extraordinarily proud of their son, and are right now debating Berkeley vs. Columbia (which debate is most likely the product of sleep deprivation). Didn't we play them in football about a million years ago, or am I confusing them with Stanford? In any event, we wish them the best with Joseph and wish them every happiness.

It was a quiet summer in Washington, D.C., a little hotter and drier than normal. Hope to hear from more of you in the fall.

Thanks for the e-mails! I look forward to hearing from more of you in the future.

Larry Braverman is v.p. and general counsel of Hyperion Solutions Corp., a software company headquartered in Sunnyvale, Calif. Although he spends time in the Tristate area at another division of the company, Larry is renovating his new house in Noe Valley, San Francisco. He has now learned "more about seismic retrofitting than I really want to know." Apparently, classmate Jonathan Fox lives across the street with his wife, Nikki, and their daughter.

Dino Carlaftes has been living in Los Angeles since 1994 with his wife, Dolores, an actress and writer. He just joined Metropolitan Talent Agency, where he represents television and feature writer-producers and directors as well as novelists. His clients have written for shows like Mad About You and Diagnosis Murder and directed episodes of The Practice and L.A. Doctors, among other shows. Dino practiced law in New York for nine years prior to his move out West.

Arie Michelsohn and his wife, Adina, have been married for almost 12 years and have four children: Zachary (10), David (8), Jonathan (6) and Eliana (2). "Yes, finally a girl." Arie is returning to Finnegan, Henderson in D.C. as an associate, practicing trial and appellate patent litigation. Andrew Cytroen and Anda Ansons Cytroen B'83 are delighted to report the birth of their third son, Jacob Daniel Cytroen, born January 16, 1999.

Andrew Sumereau was recently promoted to director of operations at Nassau Broadcasting, which operates 21 Radio Stations in N.Y., N.J. and Pa. Deepak Awasthi has been promoted to associate professor of neurosurgery (tenured) at Louisiana State University School of Medicine in New Orleans and the director of neurotrauma at the Medical Center of Louisiana in New Orleans. Charles Shugart and his wife, Shannon, have a third son, Zachary Daniel, and an active house. Their architecture practice is growing rapidly and accumulating local AIA awards in a booming Seattle economy. Louis Orfanella and his wife, Marie, welcomed their second child, Marygrace Faith, in January 1998. Lou would like to hear from the "12 Jay Procrastinators." Somehow we missed their group shot in the yearbook!

David Zapolsky, in the wake of his former law firm's demise, has become a litigation partner in the Seattle office of Dorsey & Whitney.

Luis is the director of budgeting and planning; his e-mail address is luis.miniet@capitalmarketscompany.com.

Thomas Vinciguerra recently had an article entitled "Campus Protesting Made Easy" published in The New York Times. The article, decidedly tongue-in-cheek, provides advice to campus activists and administrators alike on behavioral guidelines for protests and demonstrations.
