You will notice above that I have moved. Any mail should be sent to the above address. I have also changed jobs. I am now a patent attorney for U.S. Philips Corporation in Tarrytown, N.Y.

For the first time in a long time I actually have more news than I can print! I will give the news that I received over the telephone at a telethon last spring.

Tom Jeffrey and KarenGruber are apparently in Japan. Tom is working for Hitachi as a technical writer turning Japlish into English. Mike Day is also in Japan. The last Doug heard, Mike was teaching at Osaka University. Mike Kearsley is in Flagstaff in a graduate program in biology. Diane Stewart and Denise Ruzicka Hayes live near Doug in Connecticut.

Christopher Cummings planned to marry Janina Bozar (pronounced Bochar) in September, 1986, when I spoke with him, so I assume he is married n'ow. She owns a beauty salon in Simsbury, Conn., and he will move to her locale. Chris is a salesman for Data Management Corporation. He sells computer systems to office furniture distributors, lawyers, and fuel oil distributors. Peter Judson's wife, Grace, apparently had a baby boy in June, 1985. Thev're in New York Citv.

I am ashamed to say that Valerie Jaffee wrote me way back in March of 1985 to report that she was named consultant liaison manager at Ericsson Communications, and I only just got around to telling you all. She was also getting a graduate degree in telecommunications at night. Sorry for the delay. I must say I don't know what to do with all the literature she sent me about Ericsson, but here is her picture.

Gar Waterman works most of the year in Italy in a town called Pietrasanta carving marble sculptures.
