The further you get away from the big city the better the chance to catch a big fish. It seems that the further you take that, the bigger the fish. So it was for Dave Strieker, who has taken to hunting and fishing in the Northwest Territories of Canada, and who, with his son Mark, took a 47-pound lake trout out of Great Bear Lake (that's pretty good on a 20-pound test line). For those of us who are used to seeing a trout barely hit both edges of the dinner plate, we have to be somewhat incredulous, but Dave has the proof mounted on his wall. Dave and his son have also flown into the Arctic to catch Arctic char on Three River, guided by Es- kimos. Mark, when he is not fishing with his dad, is a sophomore at the University of Minnesota at Duluth. Dave's daughter Kim has just graduated from McAllister College in St. Paul. Dave was for many years the head of the boys and girls club of Minneapolis, giving over 3,500 inner-city kids opportunities and experiences that would not otherwise be available to them. Last year Dave and his wife, Ginney, shifted careers and together are now in real estate in Wayzata, Minn. Dave stays in touch with Al Congdon who has his own law firm on Long Island, Dick Roberts who's a medical doctor in New York, and Bris Lang who is in insurance in—where else?— Connecticut. (If only Minnesota weren't so far away—but then the fish wouldn't be as big.)

Back in the land of small fish but big buildings Alan Murray has forecast the future again and joined Fuji Bank. After many years of analyzing and forecasting national economy, he's now focusing on individual industries and companies as part of Fuji Bank's credit review process. As deputy general manager and senior analyst in the regional headquarters for the Americas at Fuji, he's the highest ranking American in the bank's American organization. As Alan says, "The exposure to the Japanese business culture is fascinating." Alan is merely trying to keep up with Carolyn who has been working for the past several years with a number of Japanese to help familiarize them with the culture of New York. (You don't always need to be from Japan to need help in understanding New York.)

At the Dartmouth Club picnic in Philadelphia this summer, a nicely fit JohnVaughan and his wife Ann attended the festivities. As the president of his own food management company, John undoubtedly eats properly, and presumably well, to stay fit. John's best known contract is probably in feeding the cadets at West Point—no small feat given the importance of food to the Army.

The food business has the lure for many, including Dick Cohn, who, after leaving Tuck and proceeding through banking, determined undoubtedly that the way to a man's pocketbook is through his stomach. Dick and his wife, Joan, have the restaurant "Texas" in Pearl River, N.Y., specializing in Tex-Mex food. The Cohns have two daughters, Jessica '86 and Nancy who graduated from Smith in '84 (which balances the family educational heritage, for Joan graduated from Smith).

There's more than one way to hunt and fish!
