PAUL AMES (History, RCEES Concentrator) ...

NAOMI BETHEL (Russian, RCEES Concentrator) Naomi is currently waitressing in East Lansing, Michigan by day and applying to Grad schools and studying for the GRE by night. Actually, she manages to squeeze in some of the local bar and music scene. But really, the plan is, as always, figuring out ways to get the government to pay for her to go back to russia. She would really love to someday start a program to improve literacy in the tiny towns and villages scattered throughout Russia. She'll probably go to grad school for russian in the midwest next year. She can be contacted at naomibethel@hotmail.com when her grinnell email dies.

ELIZABETH CLARK (Russian) After she spent a couple of years after graduation running around Russia, a friend talked her into moving to Minneapolis just because. She now works at a non-profit organization for people with developmental disabilities. She lives with a turtle, a cat, and a lot of people, though she is still quite reminiscent about that fabulous Moscow apartment that had between two and eight people living in its two rooms at any one time.
