Welcome back to the modern version of the "What I did for my summer vacation" essay. Actually it's still August as this is being written - printer's deadlines being what they are - but we will spare you both Nixon jokes and football prognastication. Be forewarned: if you're not interested in graduations, weddings and the like you'll have to pick and choose very carefully from here on . . .

In the graduation department, Wayne Derkac graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University in June and is interning at Mass General in Boston. Wayne has received a two-year fellowship as a clinical associate at the Surgery Branch, National Heart and Lung Institute of the National Institute of Health in Bethesda. Another doctor, EricLieberman, has begun his residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Wisconsin Medical Center.

Now on to the weddings. Not too much info on some of these, so please write and fill us in on best man, ushers, who fell in the punch, etc.

Steve Zrike married Sara Docal on August 4th in Woodbridge, Conn. Steve, who is with Colgate-Palmolive, has both a graduate degree in journalism and an M.B.A. from Columbia.

Jim Finch married Debbie Roller last June. Jim has graduated from the Hastings School of Law in San Francisco and Debbie (a Skidmore grad) has a masters in education from the University of Virginia.

Don Beers and Debbie Merkamp win the oldie-wedding-of-the-month award: way back in March. Don, now graduated from Columbia Law, is clerking for Federal Judge Milton Pollack in the Southern District of New York.

Wayne Hobin, ensconced at the Fairleigh Dickinson School of Dentistry, married Kiki Almirall in June. Kiki, by the time you read this, should have her masters in education.

Kalia Sadasivan and Tracy Richardson were wed last May, ably assisted by best man RickBates. Kalia and Tracy met while at Dartmouth Med School and are both interning at the University of Michigan Hospital.

Getting away from weddings - yes, we know we missed some - we turn to the James B. Reynolds Scholarships won by two '71s for the present academic year. Peter Maeck will use his stipend to study theatre in London and continue playwriting there. Mike Coveney received his second scholarship in a row to continue his study of limnology in Lund, Sweden. (Look it up for yourself, I had to.)

A note from Bill Steffes arrived via Hanover and an Alumni Fund contribution. Bill, while not saving on postage this way, is living in Dallas and has been working for Minnesota Mutual Life as a regional group representative. After two years Bill says he enjoys the job; his comments on the Texas weather were less enthusiastic.

Bill Riley's wife Donna wrote from Germany to report Kalia and Tracy Sadasivan's wedding. The Rileys are living in Kaufbeuren, West Germany, where Bill is learning from Gerhard Schmid how to build pipe organs. Donna tutors English - she says their German is improving - and keeps class secretaries on their toes.

Now back to graduations and the like. Three years have elapsed since we left Hanover; therefore a new crop of lawyers has emerged and suffered through various bar exams. The ones we've heard from so far include:

Jack Fitzsimmons, a Harvard graduate and now an associate of Willkie, Farr & Gallagher in New York.

Mike Zeiss is a new Michigan Law alum. He has become associated with Sullivan & Cromwell on Wall Street.

Pete Ruegger graduated from University of Virginia Law and will be with Simpson, Thacher & Bartlett, New York. Andy Urban, now in his third year at Penn Law, worked for the same firm last summer. Both also got married; more on that next issue, hopefully.

Continuing on New York, Rich Granfield graduated from Vanderbilt Law and is now associated with Winthrop, Stimson, Putnam & Roberts.

Mike Everett and Robert Trout graduated from Penn Law and are both with Cravath, Swaine & Moore, on Wall Street (well, one block away).

Tom Jackson graduated from Virginia Law and will be with Phillips, Nizer, Benjamin, Krim & Ballon in Fun City. Co-newsletter editor JimBays, also a U.Va. graduate, headed for Cleveland, where he is with Jones, Day, Cockley & Reavis. G. B. Flint traded Charlottesville for Newport, N.H., where he will practice with John C. Fairbanks.

Jim Taylor, an Oklahoma Law graduate, has left his native state to become associated with Baker & Botts in Houston. Farther west, DickWaterman graduated from Colorado University Law School and has a clerkship with the Colorado Court of Appeals.

Tony Fitzpatrick, newly-graduated from Albany Law, has become associated with the firm of LeBoeuf, Lamb, Leiby & MacRae in New York. Tony reports that Ed Hanley is at the University of Vermont Med School specializing in orthopedics and has occasionally surfaced at Skidmore.

Eric Ranney and Charlie Aalto, Columbia Law graduates, are in Atlanta and New York respectively. Eric is with Hansell, Post, Brandon & Dorsey; Charlie with Trubin, Sillcocks, Edelman & Knapp. The reason for saving Aalto for last is to point out a new address for you to send all that mail to. (See above.)

That's all for this month. All you people who got married, graduated, got a job or any combination thereof - if you weren't mentioned, write! See you at Harvard.
