Charlie Wrobel writes that all is well in balmy San Diego. Charlie is finishing his year of senior residency in neurosurgery at UC-San Diego and plans to journey to Bethesda, Md., for two years of research at the National Institutes of Health in the surgical neurology branch. He will then have a chief-resident year back in San Diego before making a belated entry into the real world somewhere around 1989. He notes that he hears from John Storella, who is in law school at the University of Virginia, and Richard Anderson, who is skating through medical school in Salt Lake City.
