1975

This will be my last class note submission from Hartford. Eliza and I have just recently decided to move to Chicago, and we will be living in Wilmette. By the time that the fall series of class notes begins, I hope to have a permanent address. Although we will miss New England, I believe we will be in good hands. On our last visit to Chicago, we were fortunate enough to have a visit with Rickand Cate Waddell. They both appeared healthy and tanned as they were fresh from a southern vacation. Cate and I will now be able to double-team the newsletter and class notes.

In other news, I have learned that a couple of our classmates have teamed up to establish a sports and entertainment management firm. George Garrow and Rick Jones have finally discovered a way to capitalize on my two favorite activities. I wonder if you two need a third partner. They will be headquartered in Washington, D.C. George holds a law degree from UVA, while Rick is a graduate of Georgetown University Law Center.

You may remember last month's notes on Rick Walker; well, we also should be proud to count Matt Johnsen among our classmates. Matt has recently been appointed executive director of the Massachusetts Association for Retarded Citizens (MARC). Before joining MARC, Matt was executive director of the Associates for Community Living of Plymouth, Mass. Matt, his wife, Frances Williams, and two children, live in Middleboro, Mass. Congratulations, Matt, and keep up the good work!

Steve Wise recently emerged from his laboratory to pen a few notes about his escapades. Despite the fact that Steve reports no home address and no home phone ("a major useful innovation" - his words, not mine), we need not worry too much about his wellbeing. He is presently a research biologist at the National Institute of Mental Health, Laboratory of Neurophysiology, in Bethesda, Md. Given that the title alone is a brainful, Steve took a shot at my Dartmouth education and assumed I would not be able to comprehend the nature of his work (admittedly, correct). He did, however, offer this explanation for all of the liberal arts majors: "In detail, I attempt to use my cerebral cortex to study the cerebral cortex."

Stim Harriman will be returning to the States (I believe from Japan) with his wife, Takayo, and two daughters, Aya and Chie. They will be setting up shop at his parents' house in Buffalo, until they can get settled in something more permanent. Stim will be working as a cross-border consultant, coordinating work for Japanese companies with their eyes on the U.S., and for U.S. companies that want the same in Japan. Hey, Stim, let's work on that trade deficit. Thanks.

Finally, word from Chip Branch, who is conducting a radiology fellowship in Ultrasound and Body Computerized Axial Tomography at Thomas Jefferson in Philadelphia. He has been fortunate enough to meet some top physicians from the U.S., U.S.S.R., and China. He hopes to move to Arizona, California, or Texas in July. What's wrong with Duluth?

That's it until September from Chicago.
