1984

For those who usually skim this column and read only about the names they recognize, I provide the following. Classmates, including Your Name Here, take note: our Tenth Reunion is set for the weekend end of June 18-20, 1993. To help out, call Leigh Miller Garry or Your Name Here at (914) 833-1601.

Faced with the usual pre-deadline paucity of news, I took to the phones and hit paydirt with a call to Mary Fabio, who is a fourth-year medical student at Einstein University in the Bronx and has "recently applied for a pediatrics residency." Mary plans to work in Chile in February and March working as an intern in a rural Indian village. This assignment should provide an opportunity to use both her new-found medical skills and her command of language acquired in her Spanish major at Dartmouth. Of the hundreds of classmates Mary updated me on, I share with you news of a few. Jenny Beatty lives on the Upper West Side of Manhattan with her husband and has left her job in advertising to work on her graduate degree. Tisa Hughes is practicing law in Boston with Ropes & Gray and is part of the firm's medical division. She focuses on issues regarding the healthcare industry, including ethical issues like a hospital's policy on abortion or a patient's right to die. NancyLinneman is a second-year resident in internal medicine at New York's Mount Sinai Hospital. She occasionally finds time for margaritas and Mexican food with Mary. My predecessor Eric Grubman is a third-year resident in internal medicine at Sinai. He was recently named the hospital's chief resident.

Since a column cannot live on a call to Mary Fabio alone, I was lucky enough to speak with Peter Feinberg. He lives on New York's Upper East Side and works at RREEF, a real estate company where he was recently promoted to vice president of acquisitions. Peter was best man for Steve Volin, who married Amy Bach in July Steve finished his residency in Washington, D.C., and is practicing medicine in Denver. Bruce Sibley has left New York and moved to Minneapolis in search of a better quality of life. He now works for a consulting firm in the Twin Cities. EricLiederman is a doctor in the navy and is stationed in Jacksonville, N.C.

Finally, I heard that Ben Kahn is taking over his father's medical practice in Meriden, Conn. Ben, who was most recently chief medical resident at Hartford Hospital, said, "I don't think I've ever really come out and said this before, but I think I knew when I was a little kid I wanted to be like my father." As one who works with his father, I certainly applaud Ben's insight for timing his entry into the business with his father's departure. That's it for now. Until next we talk.
