1982

Greetings. Al Dotson Jr., was named partner in the Miami firm of Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellot. He practices commercial real estate, land use and environmental law, and government regulations law. Al went to Vanderbilt, where he won the Bennett Douglass Bell Memorial prize for academic achievement and high ethical standards. He has presumably continued to be ethical in practice.

Ken Cleveland is the suburban editor and member of the editorial board of the Fitchburg (Mass.) Sentinel & Enterprise. He recently wrote a thought-provoking editorial on euthanasia. Dr. Pamela Brill, a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist, has started a company in Hanover called "In the Zone," which conducts performance enhancement training for individuals, groups, and teams, including the Dartmouth men's swim team and women's cross-country ski team. I wonder if she does long-distance phone sessions? Sherri Carroll Oberg, president and CEO of Acusphere Inc., was named to the Massachusetts biotechnology board. Sherry was formerly CEO of another health-care company which merged with another health-care company and before that she was a venture capitalist. And now I'm out of breath.

John Rosen was named campaign director of the Jewish Federation of Greater Middlesex County, Tenn. John was formerly director of the Nashville and middle Tennessee federation and campaign associate for a related group in Boston. He has an M.S. in social work from Yeshiva University, is married and has two daughters, Shira 3 and Kayla 1.

Mike MacAuliffe was appointed vice president and commercial loan officer of Eastern Bank's Corporate Lending Group. Mike has an M.B.A. from Boston University and lives with his wife and two children in Andover. The article had a stunning picture of Mike. He appears to have all his hair still and it's not even gray.

I received an invitation (too late to attend, I might add) to the Navy's Change of Command ceremony last October in San Diego at which Lieutenant Commander ChrisMcDonald was relieved by Lieutenant somebodyor-other. lam very sorry—it certainly sounds important but not being a military brat I have absolutely no idea what this means. Was he kicked out of the navy? Promoted? Just allowed to feel relieved?

Lisa Rothenberg Michelson wrote a lovely note and may consequently win the class award for the most career changes. After Harvard Law she did corporate reorganization bankruptcy at a large NY sweatshop, then worked for Brooklyn Legal Services doing family law on behalf of battered women, then attended a religious Jewish teacher's seminary while doing parttime personal bankruptcy (for others, that is), then began teaching at a Jewish high school for girls while writing materials for a national synagogue organization, also while lecturing occasionally and teaching adult ed classes. In her spare time she got married to Yaacov Michelson. Their wedding featured jugglers, a dancing wizard, a burning hat, a chain led by a rollerblader, and a maypole (very creative as it was June 26). Yaacov is an engineer studying to be a high-school math teacher. They currently live in Brooklyn with their parrot Mookie. Is it just me or does this sound like the makings of a movie script? Gee, all we need is a plot.

And finally, The Wisconsin Lawyer ran a wonderful article on Dean Strang, a criminal lawyer in Wisconsin who does pro bono death penalty appeals, and spearheads the state bar's Death Penalty Project. The project's aim is to prevent the passage of a deathpenalty statute in Wisconsin, which abolished capital punishment in 1853.1 checked on Lexis and so far Dean seems to be successful. Now to you, George.
