Jon Einsidler has scheduled a fall minireunion for Harvard weekend, October 1618, in Boston. The College will soon announce a number of events for that weekend, and Jon will see to it that our class will be included in some of the activities, so plan to attend. A winter mini-reunion in Hanover in February is also being planned more about that later. Jon also reports that Ed and Susan Wisneski recently moved into a restored colonial home in suburban Philadelphia. Ed is still the public information director for the Philadelphia Eagles.

After a two-year stint in Sweden as a management consultant, and an extended vacation in the Far East, Bill Price has returned to the San Francisco area, where he is now the chief financial officer for DialInfo, a communications firm specializing in 900 and 960 area code services such as information, marketing surveys, and sports trivia. Rumor has it that Bill will once again be using his famous diary from undergraduate days to stump Bay Area trivia buffs with obscure questions about Ivy League sports. Bill and Trudy are living in Menlo Park, a half-way point for Bill's job in San Francisco and Trudy's commute to a marketing job in Silicon Valley. Bill reports hearing from Dennis Cullin, who is a math teacher and a track coach at Durham Academy in Durham, N.C. Also in North Carolina, Evan Ballard recently moved into a passive solar home in Elkin with his wife and three sons. Evan stays busy as co-founder of a family medical practice in nearby Jonesville, and has temporarily given up politics after a term as commissioner on the Jonesville town board.

In the New York area, Marc Josephson is still developing and marketing a new computer product and doing computer-related consulting and reports that Tim Ball is currently authoring an article on the effect of the new tax bill on estate and trust law. Tim is with the law firm of Shey and Gould in New York, where he observes St. Patrick's Day as a legal holiday, although somehow I think the word "observe" might be too passive in this case. Also in the Big Apple, Craig Wyeth was recently promoted at Readers' Digest, where he works in information systems, and Steve Singer is a sculptor in Brooklyn and recently had a one-man show at a gallery in Soho.

Charles Merrill was granted tenure and promoted to associate professor at Mount Saint Mary's College in Maryland, where he teaches modern languages and also specializes in medieval and Renaissance literature. Charles earned both an M.A. and Ph.D. from Duke University and previously was an assistant professor at Hood College before joining the faculty at Mount Saint Mary's in 1981. In contrast to Charles, Dave Abbott has left academia, and is currently the assistant wine director in the world's largest wine store, Big Y Wine in Northampton, Mass. Dave invites classmates to drop by for a taste of wine at the store, and reports frequent reunions with his former roommate, Jeff Gerow, who is a free-lance video consultant in the Boston area.

That's all from Dallas for now drop me a postcard from your summer vacation, and I'll .see you in September.
