Hooray for all of you who have been sending in news of yourselves and others! It really makes this job so much easiereven fun! Keep up the great effort. Special thanks to Nancy Kepes Jeton who has selflessly shared many of her newsletter cards with me.

I finished the last column with some incomplete news about Jim Crawford. Not only is he living in Needham, Mass., and working at Brigham and Women's Hospital (Harvard Medical School), he has been chief resident in pathology. He finished his research fellowship in December and this January he was appointed instructor in pathology. He will continue his research in basic liver physiology. Jim and his wife, Aleta, have two children, Brice and Jenny, ages seven and six.

I just received word of Jeffrey DeWald's marriage to Carol Diane Jones, who, up until recently, was a surgical nurse at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston (right next door to Jim Crawford's hospital.) Jeffrey is a senior financial consultant with Cigna, in Boston. Carol is a Simmons graduate and will be managing a computer graphics company.

Dan Sheedy is also in Boston, where he recently joined Deloitte, Haskins and Sells as a senior tax consultant.

News from the legal community is simply pouring in. Richard "Huggy Bear" Hoffman is "still plugging away" as the inhouse counsel for Northwestern Bell, in charge of litigation for President Freedman's old stomping grounds, the State of lowa. And there are baby "H. Bears": a daughter who is five and a son who is two.

Ralph Howe was elected Vermont State Republican chairman in May. In addition to his commercial litigation practice, he also serves as selectman and a church deacon. Whew! Busy life! He says he, his wife, and two kids are "preparing for the long hard winter that the Almanac predicts for central Vermont."

Kip Hall is "Christopher P. Hall" at Jones, Day, Reavis & Pogue, on Lexington Avenue in New York. He and his wife, Britt, have a baby daughter born on June 29. Her name is Victoria Audrey Hall, and she joins her big brother "J.J."

David Fuller is also in New York City. He says that he is "alive and well" and pursuing his acting career. He has performed in various regional theaters across America—the most distant region being Alaska, at a theater in Anchorage. Unfortunately, David missed the reunion "due to a play I was doing in Philly." Maybe in '92!?

That's all for now, folks. I'm off to grade my students' papers for the organizational behavior course I'm teaching at Babson College. It's two down and 34 to go ...

A preview of next month: Who has recently become city editor at The BuffaloNews? Who's a tenured professor at the University of Arizona? And which two classmates win the "Brothers' Keeper" awards for their efforts to help people with AIDS? You, too, could join these distinguished classmates in this column,by sending in news of you and your loved ones. Don't delay, send it today.
