Dave Anderson teaches foreign languages at SUNY Oneonta (30 miles from my hometown of Norwich, N.Y.). For kicks Dave goes in for some daring sports such as flying planes, scuba diving, and going white-water rafting. Older son Matthew is a career army officer serving in the foreign area officers program; daughter Kaarin earned her Ph.D. at SUNY Stonybrook; and younger son Jason is studying for his master's degree at Appalachian State.

Van Pine, a professor of sociology at SUNY New Paltz, was recently honored with the outstanding death educator award for his contributions to the field of death education by the Association for Death Education Counseling (ADEC). Van, who has been a faculty member a SUNY New Paltz for 24 years, earned his doctorate from N.Y.U., is a founding member of ADEC, and has served on its board of directors as both vice president and president.

Harry Davis served two very successful five-year terms as dean of the University of Chicago Business School. He created a leadership program and helped establish a European executive program in Barcelona. Harry is currently a professor of corporate strategy there, and does a fair amount of private consulting. Harry and his wife, Suzanne, have four children ranging in age from 14 to 27.

Any of you anglers out there who plan to visit the campus during the non-winter months, listen up! Mark Ewing owned and operated a fisherman's haven called The Lyme Angler in Lyme, N.H., for more than three years before relocating the business to 8 South Main St. in Hanover. Our reading of a December article in The Valley Business Journal suggests to us that the greatly expanded new facility offers a variety of products and services worthy of consideration by even the most sophisticated of outdoors people.

Don Gilden wrote a good letter describing his experiences since leaving Hanover. He got his M.D. degree at Maryland and did his residency in neurology at Chicago. He served for two years in the army as a neurologist at Walter Reed in Washington, D.C. He then worked for 14 years in the department of neurology at Penn. In 1985 Don became chairman of the neurology department at Colorado. His days are a mix of patient care (with an uneven emphasis on infectious disease and multiple sclerosis), teaching medical students and training neurology residents, and directing a large research lab. He says he likes to ski and enjoys the Denver area. He and wife Audrey, a teacher and semi-professional photographer, have three sons. Oldest son Daniel '91 completed a master's degree program at Stanford, teaches college English, and plans to pursue a Ph.D. Middle son Adam is a graduate of Middlebury and is now in his second year of medical school at Penn. Youngest son Paul is a sophomore at Pomona College. Don played violin with the Handel Society at Dartmouth, abandoned the instrument in medical school, and took it up again 15 years ago. He has invested in an Amati, which he says sounds like a dream even when he plays it.
