The White Sox take on the Bosox tomorrow at Comiskey so it must be spring. Ah, yes, opening day when there are more coats and ties in the crowd than at any other ten games combined. 'Course in Chicago our teams are so bad that the ushers take away ties at the turnstiles as a safety measure.

Must be you folks found something to do this winter besides write because the mailbag is seriously low on news. However, through the magic of modern technology namely beer that takes you up, but not out here goes: Ed Waters writes that he has "left the glamorous world of Madison Avenue and Young and Rubicam" to join McKinney and Company as a management consultant "in the crystal palaces of Park Avenue." He adds that he still finds time to get back to the mountains to ice-climb and cross-country ski. Ed's even got a mountainous new address: Park Slope, Brooklyn.

News also comes from Kevin Gartner that he's shifted locations in the suburbs of Houston. Kevin says that he's working on the Alaska gas pipeline project. Must be a heckuva commute.

Robin Lambert Graham is living in Olympia, Wash., after completing her Ph.D. in forest ecology at Oregon State. She's now a research scientist for Weyerhaeuser.

Paul Crane has signed on with the Los Angeles law firm of Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker after serving as a law clerk to Justice Lewis F. Powell Jr. of the U.S. Supreme Court. That's quite an accomplishment, Paul, especially getting the firm to put your name first. Nice going.

David Scott checks in from Stanford, where he's halfway toward getting his M.B.A. He's looking forward to exploring California this summer after spending the last three years in Detroit. How does that line go . . . first prize is a week in Detroit, second prize is two weeks in Detroit?

The Cubs and Sox have just finished an exhibition game actually it was called on account of mediocrity, so I'll be signing off. I've got to start planning my activities for spring, which, this year, is scheduled for May 18 and 19 in Chicago. Hope you all survived the winter and that you'll drop me a line.
