Lee Rosengard and his wife, Andrea, recently celebrated the birth of their third daughter, Laura Kramer Rosengard, on July 2, 1986. Lee's other two daughters, Rebecca and Joanna, are five and three respectively. Lee is a partner specializing in litigation at the law firm of Stradley, Ronan, Stevens, and Young in Philadelphia. Andrea remains corporate counsel to Acme Markets Inc., a grocery chain operating in the seven mid-Atlantic states. Lee explains that he keeps . . telling Andrea that I get one pick for Dartmouth, and she continues to insist that all wellbred young women attend Wellesley. I only have another ten or twelve years to convince her to the contrary, but I have a sense that I may be fighting a losing battle." Lee was also good enough to send news of Jack Terrill, who has a child coming in February, and Bruce Rosenfield, whose wife had a baby due as I write this column. Congratulations to you all.

Fred Haas has joined the faculty of the Department of Music at Dartmouth as a jazz piano instructor.

H., where he teaches piano and saxophone privately and works for New England Digital as a product specialist for the Synclavier Digital Music System, which is in use in Dartmouth's Bregman Electronic Music Studio. Fred has also appeared with various bands in clubs in the Hanover area.
