Greetings. An article in the Lawrence EagleTribune headlined John Elias, who was the featured speaker at a convention of the U.S. League of Savings Institutions in Boston last July. Sorry for the delay in passing this news on to the class, but the clipping was just recently brought to my attention. In any event, John is currently a lawyer practicing in Peoria, I11., and is a specialist on tax law changes in regard to savings institutions. After Dartmouth, John went on to Harvard Law School and also received a master's degree from Oxford University. He is currently a partner in the Peoria law firm of Sutkowski & Washkuhn Associates and is a member of the Massachusetts, Illinois, Ohio, and New York bar associations. He and his wife, the former Cynthia Eppley, also a lawyer, have two children.

Phil Maloney writes from Lake Tahoe, where he spent last summer doing some sail racing and participated in a successful five-day fly-fishing trip to the Deschutis River in Oregon. Phil and Sue just celebrated the birth of their third child and first son. Congratulations to you both.

Matt Montagne recently traveled to Lienz, Austria, which is a sister city of Jackson, Wyo., where he currently resides. Matt has been doing some wind surfing, hiking, and skiing during the four seasons at Jackson Hole.
