Most of the news in this month's mailbox comes from New York City or San Diego. Ed Pollitz enjoyed seeing his daughter Stephanie '91 while attending the homecoming football game in Hanover last fall. On his way back to New York City, he saw his old roommate Howell Chickering, who is completing his 17th year in the English department at Amherst. Ed mentions that "two of [Chick's] three [children] are on the West Coast and the third is an agronomist!"

Bob Filderman relocated in January from San Diego to the Big Apple. Bob left Philadelphia in 1965 for E.F. Hutton in New Orleans, Mobile, Houston, and San Diego. Hutton's merger with Shearson Lehman Brothers brings him back to New York as national director of the combined firms' insurance department. Bob's new office on the 102 nd floor of the Two World Trade Center building is, in his words, a "real change from the sunny shores of the Pacific."

Eat your heart out, Bob! George Le Fevre says he is still living near the beach in San Diego, where he is still practicing orthopedic surgery. George says he sees Mike"Tiger" Tighe occasionally when the latter is passing through on business. He also reports that he has two daughters finishing high school, ". . . one [of whom is] interested in Dartmouth and the other in horses." George and his family enjoy traveling and skiing.

Meanwhile, back in New York City, ArtWolff reports that 1987 was an "especially wonderful" year for him. Art directed Pennand Teller on Broadway, and "The Tracey Ullrnan Show" for television. He also started his own production company—Petunia Productions, Inc.—to do films and television. For Art, 1987 was the year when he "truly became bi-coastal," having spent six months in Los Angeles and six months in New York.
