After spending their initial year in Bissell Hall no less than a dozen members of the class went on to careers in medicine. Paul Blum is a pediatrician and lives in Hopkins, Minn. John Schuler (Wayland, Mass.) is a surgeon in Cambridge and Kevin O'Brien (Portsmouth, R. 1.) is an ophthalmologist practicing in Fall River, Mass. Also practicing medicine are Gene Latty (Boxford, Mass.), Kerry Nevins (Newport News, Va.), Dean "Carr" Razzano (Marion, Ohio) and Herb Wong (Mesa, Ariz.). Mike Cebrick (Avon, Conn.) is also a physician and is employed by the Union Mutual Life Insurance Cos. Lynn McCanse (Fairway, Kans.) is a urologist and reports that his latest interests include kayaking, windsurfing, rock climbing, and biking. Jim Mowry (Kirkland, Wash.) is an orthopedist, but reports that he is beginning to scale back his work in favor of traveling the country in his mobilehome. Bissell Hall also produced two couple radiologists. Jim Rini (New Canaan, Conn.) is a member of a small diagnostic radiology group while doing the "sandwich generation thing." However, he reports that his interest in gardening, photography, and trap and skeet have survived the years. Larry Muroff (Tampa, Fla.) is a clinical professor of radiology at the universities of Florida and South Florida, president of a radiology consulting group, and president of Educational Symposia Inc., one of the largest educators of radiologists in the country. He has also been very active in several professional radiological associations, serving as president and member of the board of chancellors.

Other Bissell residents went into the academic arena. Jeff Soles (Greensboro, N.C.) is a professor of archaeology at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Dale Eickelman (Hanover, N.H.) is a professor of anthropology at Dartmouth, and Bill Danley (Ashland, Ore.) is a professor of special education at Southern Oregon State College. In addition, Richard Mack (Ellensburg, Wash.) is in the economics department at Central Washington University and Bill Fitzhugh (Washington, D.C.) is the director of the Arctic Studies Center at the Smithsonian Institution. Bill reports that his 30 years of archeological studies in Arctic Canada, Alaska, and Russia have included lots of exciting experiences with polar bears and whales. (Whatever works.) On the business side of academia is Bob Blagden (Piedmont, Calif.) who at last report was the associate treasurer at Stanford University.

The Bissell alumni body also includes at least four lawyers including Pete Wall (Old Greenwich, Conn.) and Ken Graves (Tampa, Fla.). They are joined by Ron Schram of Hingham, Mass., who is a former member of the Dartmouth Board of Trustees, and Herb Goodrich (Wyndmoor, Pa.), the original "Philadelphia lawyer," who recently celebrated 30 years of wedded bliss with Ginger by visiting his former roommate Ned Miller, who is an insurance broker in Palo Alto, Calif. More on the boys of Bissell next month....

In closing, I am sorry to pass along the belated news of the passing of two of our classmates. Gerry Brumberger (Liverpool, N.Y.) in 1994 and Jerry Canning (Stony Brook, NY.) in 1995.
