Bill Reynolds has been honored by the University of Maryland for his "distinguished career as a teacher and scholar." He has been named to an endowed chair as the Jacob A. France Professor of Judicial Process. Bill is now considered one of the nation's leading authorities on the conflict of laws, a subject on which he has written several books. Richard Chu was named to the Institutional Investor All-American Research Team for his work at Cowen and Company in the areas of information technology and midrange systems. Also honored in the spring was Rob Dressier, who was named Person of the Year by Florida Atlantic University in recognition of the work he has done on behalf of higher education in Southeast Florida. Rob just finished a six-year term on the Florida Board of Regents. While on the board, and during his two terms as mayor of Fort Lauderdale, Rob has done a great deal to improve the quality and accessibility of university programs in the area.

I am sorry I don't have a trip to San Francisco scheduled soon. The Exploratorium in the Palace of Fine Arts there has announced the installation of a new major interactive sculpture/artwork by Al Jarnow. It is titled Terra Forms: Duet for Sandbox and Computer, and is described as both a "landscape-making machine and a make-your-own-time-lapse movie machine." The work allows visitors to "step into the flow of time and shape his or her world, using sound, water flow, slope and video time lapse." Since college Al has been painting and making experimental animations. He has also been producing and directing educational animated films for PBS and has made more than one hundred shorts for the Children's Television Workshop.
