1968

We hope that Yoshihiro Nakamura will see fit to pass through Hanover on June 17—19 during his travels as director of the inspection division of the Foreign Ministry of Japan. He was featured in the insert on the new Dickey Endowment in the December issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, and was also pictured in the March issue. We heard from Yoshi last November, fresh back from a tour of embassies and consulate general locations in the Middle East.

Also at some distance from the Hanover Plain is Rolf Borgersen, who lives in the small, north central Washington town of Winthrop. He is in the two-attorney general law practice of Ebenger and Borgersen. Winthrop sounds like a sportsman's paradise four and a half hours from Seattle and with ample cross country skiing, downhill too, fishing, back packing, and wind-surfing. Rolf says he was successful in putting a nuclear weapons resolution on the county ballot last year.

Gary and Polly Bayrd have been living jn Minneapolis with their two children. Gary js one of two dermatologists at a 190,000-member HMO (must keep you busy, Gary). He reports that he plays a lot of tennis with ScottReeves and that his brother-in-law, Joe Colgan, is with the Mayo Clinic and has two sons

On the coast, Bill Ferrier was raving about the Alumni College seminar programs, having attended one in southern California last fall Neil Hirst of Ann Arbor was happily embarking on his maiden voyage in a solo neurology practice last fall. Dick and Sandra Inwood moved to Tampa with their two daughters While missing the white stuff, they do welcome the year-round outdoor life that warmth encourages. Dick is a neonatologist at Women's Hospital, Tampa, and Sandra teaches math and Hebrew at a local Jewish day school for children.

Don Middleton and his wife, of Pittsburgh, have announced the arrival of Jane Porter, an early Christmas present, born December 1, 1982. Paul and Kathy Fitzgerald have a young daughter and would like to hear from old friends who may visit the San Francisco area, where Paul practices endocrinology at the University of California Medical Center. Promises Paul, "We can show them other things to do besides riding cable cars!" Dick and Alice Thorner are happily settled in San Antonio, where they have been for the past five years. Dick is busy in a practice of infectious diseases and internal medicine at a growing medical center and the Thorners are looking forward to introducing daughters Robin and Tracy to the College in June. Ken Dardick was elected to fellowship in the American College of Physicians, in case you non-docs wonder about the F.A.C.P. which may appear next to his name. Ken says his wife had some interesting comments about this election which can't be printd here; but since she is a "hot-shot" divorce lawyer, he chose not to differ.

Ned Cummings had a rather hard-to-beat 1982, perhaps a good example of "when it rains it pours." Not necessarily in order of importance, he was promoted to major in the U.S. Air Force; reported for duty as special assistant to a deputy director of the Defense Intelligence Agency; and married Ellen Wicker, "a marvelous blonde with a classical voice (and accent). In addition, Ned and Ellen were expecting their first child in December! To quote Ned. "Who says you slow down after you're out of Hanover for 15 years?"

Another major, this time in the Army- iS Gary Hobin, back in New England after dun in Texas. He is enjoying his work, which consists of advising an Army Reserve Training outfit and some associated travel through New England and New York State. He and Elizabeth, along with son Brian, three cats, and a dog, have home base in Warwick, R.I Elizabeth teaches high school math in nearby Providence. Larry Smith of Newton, Mass., was in the process of trying to locate a sponsor for a "canoe-a-thon" this spring, covering 60 miles of the Charles River to raise money for the Charles River Watershed Association. Hope you found one, Larry! For those of you who have not followed the progress of this group, and the cleanup of the Charles over the past few years, it is truly incredible as I'm sure Larry would be happy to discuss.

Now, for all the rest, who must have news, don't wait until June or for class dues slips. Pull out a piece of paper and a stamp, address an envelope to me, and jot a few (or many) legible words to your scribe. This is your column do use it! It's a great way to keep in touch with each important other, "round the girdled earth."
