Mike Miller wrote from Charlottesville, Va., that he continues to practice orthopedic surgery, balanced by tennis, paddle tennis, and jogging. He "even completed a marathon in Richmond last year but wiil probably not do that again! Derry and I celebrated our 20th anniversary last summer and with our two children, Heather, 14, and Sean, 11, we love to ski in Colorado every winter and we summer on a lake 100 miles north of Toronto where windsurfing is the main event."

Hartley Paul, Bellevue, Wash., is still a partner of the 90-member Seattle law firm of Lane, Powell, Moss and Miller. "We can't make the 25th reunion as we are currently at Sun Valley for the winter with wife, two daughters (nine and four), and tutor/babysitter, under the firm's extended-leave program (two extra months every five years) and will have used up most of our vacation time for the year."

Ken Green of Midland, Tex., reports that he's made some major changes in his life during the past two years. "In 1981,1 had been 13 years with Acurex Corporation as administration manager for their solar energy division in Mountain View, Calif. The alternate energy business was very slow and the future looked slower. I enrolled full time in a graduate petroleum engineering program at Stanford, and my wife Barbara got a job. What a strain on Barb and our two daughters, Caroline and Sarah. Our son Bill was away at college so he was spared but it was fun to compare gradepoints with him. After a thesis that included a month of testing gas wells in West Virginia, I got an M.S. in June 1983, just in time for the oil and gas glut! That is why I am writing this from Midland, Tex., heart of the Permian Basin, where oil is 'king.' I am working for Flopetrol Johnston, a division of Schlumberger Technology Corporation, and doing very interesting work in the well-testing business. Look for our son, Bill Green, in the hammer throw in the summer Olympic games. He holds the collegiate record for the hammer and has an excellent chance of making the U.S. team."

John Payne is chief of anesthesiology "at a good little hospital in Columbia, Md. Our 21- year-old marriage has produced four boys, the oldest a sophomore at University of Virginia I hope one will go to Dartmouth."

Rick Kugelman writes from Chappaqua, N.Y.: "Workwise I have spent the last ten years as chief financial and operating officer for Planned Parenthood of New York City. After 15 years working in industry, I decided to try the world of not-for-profit. It has been fascinating and I am glad I did it. 1 left Planned Parenthood last December and am now a consultant. We have two teenagers, Rick, 17, and Kristen, 15, who are both at the Taft School in Watertown, Conn. To add a little excitement to my life, I took up flying several years ago and got my license. My wife Lynn and I try to do as much flying as possible and landed at the Lebanon International Airport to visit the kids last year."

Ted Izzard is based in Manila as vice president, Far East operations, for Bausch and Lomb Inc. He writes: "Since I will be unable to attend the 25th reunion, here is a quick update. My Bausch and Lomb responsibilities include total operations and all product lines (contact lenses, Ray Ban sunglasses, Bushnell products, and optical instruments) in a 12-country region stretching from Japan and Korea in the north, to Australia and New Zealand in the southern hemisphere. Our regional office is in Manila, where my wife Gaye finds the warm climate and excellent tennis facilities much to her liking she is becoming a fine player. Tres, our son, graduates this year from high school and is looking forward to entering the Dartmouth class of 1988 in September. Jordi, our 11-year-old Girl Scout, baseball player, tennis player, etc. is the real athlete of the family and keeps us all busy."

My wife Anna will receive her M.S. in nutrition from the University of Connecticut in June and is teaching at Johnson and Wales College here in Providence. Our two boys, Andre, 14, and Ethan, 13, are thriving mightily and I continue to nudge them in Dartmouth's direction' by regular trips to Hanover during vacations at the Eastman property. My interests continue to center on music and I have recently become involved with early music (baroque and before) after acquiring a wonderful harpsicord."

Bob Ogg resides in Mississauga, Ontario, and planned to be at reunion. He comments: "Not much happening here; just finishing off a very long hockey season.
