Jeffrey Dann is living in Hawaii and writes, "I am finding myself incredibly busy on a number of levels - from the most basic of building a better outhouse (he is converting a bachelor's cabin into a couple's cottage) to the most abstract of preparing articles for publication.

Jeff received his Ph.D. from the University of Washington after studying two and a half years in Japan. His field of study was Kendo, a "Japanese martial culture." He and his wife Miriahm have two children.

Dale Eichelman is an associate professor of anthropology at New York University. He and wife Christine adopted a daughter, Amal Marie, last summer. In describing the adoption procedures, Dale wrote the following: "On 5 March we were told to be in Chicago (from where we adopted) by the 7th to complete various legal formalities. In Cook County, a child placed for adoption must be served with a process by a sheriff's officer who must touch the document either to the child's forehead or hand. A delightful legal fiction which I made a photograph of in true ethnographic fashion. Christine offered her resignation to the Middle East Studies Association and in now with Amal full time."

Steve Blecher wrote to tell me not to feel bad that I missed the class executive committee canoe trip as it was cancelled because all the canoes were stolen from the motel parking lot. So needless to say I don't feel too bad now. But I do feel bad that our class dues performance is below last year's. Please, canoe (pun) take the time to send in some money. Fifteen bucks is not too much to help your class executives go up the creek with a paddle.
