Finally, John Keller writes: "I'm entering my fifteenth month with Montgomery Engineers. Shattering my previous longevity records, I seem to be acclimating to the need to spend a few more respectable years before moving on to whatever next phase crystallizes out of a potpourri of possibilities. For recreation, I am learning Spanish, dabbling in some frigid windsurfing off San Francisco Bay, and occasionally joining the lemmings in a 10-kilometer footrace."

That's all for now. See you in September.
