This month's mail brought news of four major career changes in the class. Virginia newspapers reported on the appointment of John English as principal of Clarke County High School. After graduate degrees from Johns Hopkins and the University of Virginia, John has spent his career in public education, most recently organizing an educational consortium in Charlottesville and serving as assistant superintendent for instruction in Albermarle County. After a grueling public screening, John was declared the perfect candidate for "his enthusiasm, knowledge, vision, continuous learning, and sense of humor."

In the health-care field, news comes of the appointment of Edward D. Henderson Jr. as president of the CPC Foundation. The Foundation raises and manages funds for CPC Behavioral Healthcare, which provides mental-health and community services to 15,000 clients at 14 locations in New Jersey. Also in medicine, those of you who ski in Maine can feel more secure thanks to the work of Dwight Campbell. Dwight has opened a new orthopedic clinic along with Dartmouth grad Richard Swett '63 at Dean Memorial Hospital in Greenville. Dwight attended Yale Med School and then did his orthopedic training at Harvard. Given my current form on the ski slopes, this is good news indeed.

And for those of you with extra money who live on the North Shore of Chicago: Donald Kress, who is a vice president with the First National Bank of Chicago, has been tapped to head a new unit. Don will open a trust and investment-management office in Winnetka. I don't know anyone I would trust more than Don for advice on my money (if my children's schools didn't already have a claim on all of it and then some). Since law school at Penn, Don has spent 22 years in trust management at the Miami Corporation and in private practice.
