1973

All the messages I left last month brought only two responses: a hefty phone bill and a wonderful return phone call from Joe Rideout. Joe returned to Toledo in '76 after getting his law degree at UVA. He has specialized in real-estate finance and development with Shumaker, Loop, and Kendrick ever since and is a partner and member of the firm's management committee. The soft national realestate market has not slowed Joe's pace since he works on public/private partnerships like convention centers, regional jails, etc., which go on regardless. Currendy he is working on an arts center being built joindy by the University of Toledo and the Toledo Museum of Art.

Joe was president of the Dartmouth Club of Toledo about five years ago but lately has donated much of his free time to community activities like the Legal Aid Society, the Toledo Botanical Garden, where he is about to assume the president's role, and the Family and Child Abuse Prevention Center of North- western Ohio. Joe and Beverly have two girls and a boy (ages 7, 9, and 11).

An August news release from the Roger Williams Medical Center in Providence announced that Richard E. Wild M.D., J.D., FACEP of Cranston and Boston had been named chief of emergency services at the center. Rick has really kept busy since Dartmouth. He received his M.D. from the University of Vermont and his J.D. from George Washington University and served as a senior healthpolicy analyst and medical officer for the Prospective Payment Assessment Commission in Washington, D.C., and as chief medical advisor for reimbursement policy, Health Care Financing Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Before his appointment at Roger Williams, Rick was an instructor at U-Mass Medical School and an assistant director of the Emergency Department at the Medical Center of Central Massachusetts in Worcester.

News-in-Brief: Art Lehman's secretary let it slip that he had just brought home a new baby boy, when I called him in early October, and that he was tickled pink (blue?), so I should wait and let him fill me in on the details. I guess we can forgive him if he's too busy to make the call, however.

Sue Glovsky has apparently forgiven me for all the jibes I love to poke at Glover and wrote to let us know that Bob has just become financial planner for the Cambridge, Mass., accounting firm Tofias, Fleishmann & Shaprio Inc. He is also co-hosting a radio show on WHDH 850 AM from 10 to 12 p.m., Monday through Friday. The show bills Bob and a real-estate planner as "The Money Experts," and Sue says they're "super," though she may be prejudiced. Bob and Sue's three kids are now 6, 4, and 2. Thanks for the update, Sue!

Diane Keiller wrote in July to let us know that Todd had recendy been appointed to the position of vice president-ventures at Brigham and Women's Hospital here in Boston. Unfortunately, the note was delayed in getting to me because it went first to Hanover. Many belated thank-vous for the news, however, Diane!
