Among this month's news is word from Steve Muller that he and his family will be moving on to the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City this summer after five years in Washington. He will be working in the embassy's economic section, and his wife, Mary, will be the director of the American library. Steve writes: "We hope that Peter (age three) will adjust to his first move, and we hope all of us survive the most polluted air in the world."

Marc Nicholson recently completed a three-year assignment as a political officer at the U.S. Embassy in Lisbon and has returned to Washington to head up the Portuguese desk at the State Department.

David Felt writes: "After three and a half years on the Continent, we have been transferred to Wilmington, N.C. I am a major in the army and the head of the six-member cadre that operates the ROTC program at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. My wife, Linda, has joined the department of accountancy at the university.

"We thought that, by coming to this southern coastal resort area, we could escape from the cold winters we had in Germany, but nature had other plans. This record-setting winter has folks here complaining about their heating bills and anxiously awaiting spring. We are looking forward to warmer weather but understand it will bring new problems, since students prefer to go to the beach rather than to class."

At last writing, Michael Nath planned to spend a month in the Orient. He says: "I expect a big difference in rugby matches compared with Sandusky rugby, especially in Hong Kong."

Speaking of Hong Kong, John Short was recently transferred there together with his wife, Ethel, and their three children (Sam, four, Rebecca, three, and Lisa, one). John writes: "It's a change of pace from Venezuela and seems like it will be a lot of fun both personally and professionally."

John French took over the pharmaceutical operations of Ciba-Giga in Ireland last November. Prior to his most recent assignment, he was a regional marketing manager for the company in the Middle East. John and his wife are the proud parents of a daughter, Katy, born last year.

Finally, Karen Rubin Schudson VIS is currently building a business, consulting with industry, schools, and non-profit organizations on health promotion. A year ago last June, her husband, Charlie, was appointed circuit court judge (one of the youngest) and is assigned to Children's Court. Karen writes: Hope one of our two sons (Ben, seven, and Joel, four) will make Dartmouth. Who knows . . . maybe they'll be coeds at Smith!"

That s all for now. Send in your news, and we'll be back in the fall.
