Spring has sprung in Boston, and the Red Sox are about to step up to bat. LarryRoberts has also stepped up to bat at the investment firm of Kidder, Peabody. Larry has left his job as a vice president of the Bank of New England and is now one of the key executives of the fixed income department at Kidder, Peabody in Boston.

Congratulations are also due to SamLivermore, who was recently made a partner in the California law firm of Thelen, Marrin, Johnson, and Bridges. Sam specializes in general business, corporate, securities, finance, banking, and international law.

Bob Bloomfield has also been big in the news recently. Bob is a physician, but he is also a musician. As a musician he has appeared throughout North Carolina with the "Red Herring Trio." The "Red Herring Trio" bills itself as producing "musical mayhem and instrumental insanity to bring tears to your ears." None other than John Sebastian stated that it "was the most unusual act I've seen; it just goes to show you, fine music is not necessarily pretty." Bob plays the 12-string guitar and the ukulele and does vocals; he was described in one review as "an entirely self-created musician who combines a full-throated powerhouse voice with a pickles flail-away guitar style unique to the art." In reviewing the act, The Winston-Salem Journal said that "it's harder to determine which are funnier, Red Herring's comic renditions of popular songs or the hilarious one-liners and sometimes embarrassing puns that the band dispenses between musical numbers."

Bob has also distinguished himself in the world of medicine. He recently coauthored Mnemonics, Rhetoric, and Poeticsfor Medics which is billed as "over 200 pages packed with pearls, acronyms, aphorisms, rhymes, and other memory devices to enhance recall of textbook material, differential diagnoses and equations." The Journal of Continuing MedicalEducation stated that "the authors deliver a useful and edifying scheme by which physicians can better remember the vast quanitites of medical information that confront us . . ." Bob, congratulations and good luck in all of your creative endeavors.

And finally, I just ran into Digger Donahue on the streets of Boston. Digger still swings his squash racquet on occasion, or at least when he is not dispensing financial wisdom at Brown Brothers, Harriman in Boston. The Sebago Lake region of Maine is where the Donahues reside in the summer (with their two children). Norwell is home in the Boston area.
