Michael Ungar is just finishing an album for release in Japan with his brother Paul '73 and Rocky Whitaker '74. He was also recruiting for "the big D" this spring while running a 16-track recording studio in the heart of New Jersey. His phone number is 201/889-7432 if you want to find out more about his activities.

Jack Reeder will be starting work as a career agent with the Penn-Mutual Life Insurance Company after Labor Day. He will be commuting to Dedham, Mass., a few days a week for training and conducting business in northeast Massachusetts, southeast New Hampshire, and southern Maine. His wife, Susan, and son, Merrick (born April 30, 1981), are fine. Gar Waterman recently stopped by to visit Jack just after returning from a stint in Italy.

Hans Sheline married Diane in Ventura, Calif., on June 30. Friends from Dartmouth Mike Toll '77 and Wally Gonzalez '75 were there. Hans and Diane went on a six-week honeymoon to Greece, Zaire, and western Europe. He will soon be starting a new research position.

M. Lou Panella writes that before leaving Hanover to begin his new job as vice president for social concerns of BKW Incorporated, he had the pleasure of double-dating on several occasions with Dad (Barney) Taylor and Christine Hughes. He says, "Don't be surprised to hear wedding bells in the fall for both Dad and me."

Don Ankenny graduated from Stanford Business School in 1983. He now has a daughter, Lisa, born July 8, 1983. He is currently working for Trammell Crow Company in Minneapolis.

After receiving a master's of forestry degree from Duke in 1983 and marrying the former Cynthia Homsher (Gettysburg '81, Duke 'B3) this past January, Robin Wildermuth finds himself in Tallassee, Ala. He is with the firm of Sizemore and Sizemore, appraising timberland throughout the southeast. He despairs of describing Tallassee on the little green card but says it is not the Hanover of the South.

Jim Turro is starting his third year of an internal medicine program at Albert Einstein/ Jacobi Hospital. He'll stay a fourth year as chief resident. He and his wife Barb will shortly celebrate their third anniversary. Their son Thomas is now six months old. He moved a year ago to a house in Northern Westchester. He recently spent a very enjoyable weekend in New Hampshire with Jeff Miller and his wife Carol.

Roy Matic lived in Hanover for four years after graduating. Afterwards, he and his wife, Heidi '81, moved to Stanford, Calif., where he is pursuing a Ph.D. in electrical engineering at Stanford. He invites any classmates in the area to stop by and say hello.

Maggie Fellner Hunt came home from Indonesia in May for "home leave." She saw Frances Hellman in San Francisco. Frances is finishing her Ph.D. in applied physics at Stanford. Ann Hoover is working in advertising in San Francisco. Lissa Howell has switched banks and now is working as a consultant for Marine Midland on their training programs. Lissa still loves New York City. Harriet Travilla Reynolds and her husband Allan, and their baby, Mary, are now ensconced in Norfolk, Va., says Maggie. Paula McLeod and Jamie Pfaff '77 plan to be married in Chicago this August. (Of course, Maggie wrote this during the summer, and you are all reading this in November, so they are probably already married.) Maggie saw Liz DeMurga Spradling and Mark Spradling in Houston and found them well. She encourages anyone passing through Jakarta, Indonesia, to write her c/o Citibank, Box 2465, Jakarta, or call 333786.

Ted Olson has just moved from Boston to the D.C. area to manage stores for Scandinavian Design. They're opening ten new stores in the Washington region over the next two years. He and Colleen are building a townhouse in Old Town Alexandria. He gets to see local Dartmouth people like Steve Palmer, Lou Duff, and Chris Rizek '79.

Peter K. Richardson has been appointee director of admissions at Bennington College in Bennington, Vt. He previously worked in admissions at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y. He is a member of the National Association of College Admissions Counselors. For the last several months he has been a consultant in data processing with the General Electric Company in Schenectady, N.Y.

Gary Sobelson writes that he has finished up as chief resident of the Duke University Family Medicine program. He's moved back to Concord, N.H., where he has entered into a new group family practice with two other Duke-trained M.D.'s. He is pleased with life in Concord and his future prospects there. He has some trepidations about the New Hampshire winters, though. He and his wife Carol are now the proud parents of Rachel Eve Sobelson, born February 28, 1984, weighing nine pounds, 14 ounces. She has already made her first trip to Hanover and was suitably impressed. Carol will be eventually getting back to her work as a marriage and family therapist in Concord. Gary's contacts with other '78s of late include John Jordan, who is almost finished with his Ph.D. and is doing a post-doc at Duke in clinical psychology along with some impressive gourmet cooking; Lesa Walden, M.D., who is a secondyear resident at the Duke Family medicine program (three of the 13 interns in her year were Dartmouth alums); and Bryan Pechous, M.D., who is "awaiting the start of his opthalmology residency in New Orleans by playing 'doc-in-the-box' for dollars." (I don't know what this means. I hope my readers do.) Gary wants visits from '78s on their way to Hanover. His phone number is 603/225-3427.
