Among this month's news is word that Daveand Keppie Sullivan welcomed their second child, Jeffrey Lang, on December 5. He joined their son Stephen, who was two in October. The Sullivans wrote: "Living in southern California has its plusses, but we do miss our friends in New England."

John Shanahan's wife Martha wrote that she's "enjoying being a mother and housewife (horrors)" and is expecting their second child this month.

Jim Bright has accepted a new job with General Electric and has moved to the Berkshires, where he can see a ski resort from his front window. The Brights are expecting their second child in March and have been exchanging notes on such diverse subjects as parenthood and soccer with Anders Rhodin, who just had his first child, a boy, this past summer.

Pete Kieley and his wife Holly had a little boy, Samuel Branch, on January 7. Pee Wee is practicing internal medicine in Minneapolis. Jay Bennett left the 150-lawyer Dorsey law firm in Minneapolis to form his own law firm with a law school buddy. He reported that the first eight months have gone well and that he's having a great time. Sally, Andy (four-and-a-half), and Tommy (one) Bennett are all doing well.

Lee Turkevich is a post-doctoral fellow in physics (solid state research) at U.C.L.A. BobSchnabel is in his third year teaching at the Comparative Sciences Department of the University of Colorado in Boulder. Bob wrote that things are "going really well, though New England it ain't."

Gunnar Klintberg recently moved from Moscow to New York, where he is working for A. Johnson and Company Inc., a subsidiary of the Swedish Axel Johnson Group. He found New York to be quite a change from Moscow. Gunnar plans to stay in the Big Apple for the next two to three years.

Craig Shallcross has been elected an assistant secretary in Manufacturers Hanover Trust Company's Downstate Corporate Banking Center. Craig joined the bank in 1978 as a credit analyst and was promoted to corporate banking representative in April 1979.

John Benepe has assumed command of the guided missile destroyer USS Joseph Strauss, homeported in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. As commanding officer, John is responsible for the accomplishment of the ship's missions and overall supervision of assigned officers and enlisted men. The Strauss is 437 feet long, carries a crew of 354, and is outfitted with guns, missiles and anti-submarine rockets.

Finally, we reported in the December issue Mitch Wallerstein's appointment to the faculty of the College of the Holy Cross. Several points require correction. First, Mitch was associate director of the Public Affairs Center (not public affairs) at Dartmouth from 1972 to 1974. Second, he was - and continues to be - a research associate (not assistant) with the International Nutrition Program at M.I.T. since 1978. Finally, we neglected to mention that he currently holds a joint appointment as both an assistant professor of political science at Holy Cross and a lecturer in political science at M.1.T., and is thus on the faculties of both institutions.

That's all for now. See you next month
