Dennis Wright is executive director of the Urban Law and Public Policy Institute at North- eastern University School of Law. The institute functions as a regional think tank, where research is conducted on urban issues. Last fall Dennis was named co-chair of the Boston Bar Association's delivery of legal services section. This is the section of the Boston Bar where heads of legal service agencies and public interest law groups come together to provide services to poor people. As co-chair of this committee, Dennis helps identify issues that need to be brought to the attention of the bar, or that require legislative activity, lobbying, or education of the profession. He is also a published writer, and is working on starting a law journal at the institute. Dennis lives in Milton, Mass., with his wife, Maudlin Dewberry Wright, who earned an M.F.A. from Boston University and is now teaching art in the Boston public schools. Maudlin recently obtained certification to become a principal. The Wrights have five children, with three still at home: Jerome 19, Krvste! 18, Shayna 10, Franklin III 8, and Dennis Jr. 5.

Cliff Ennico is cohost of a game show called Money Hunt, now in its third season. On the show, two owners of small- to mid- sized businesses "compete" for growth capital by making pitches and submitting to questions that test their vision, product innovation, marketing strategy, and business values. Each is critiqued by a "mentor"—a successful business owner—and a winner is chosen. This Money Hunt "seal of approval" brings each winner attention that may take it one step closer to attracting investors. The show and related website for aspiring entrepreneurs are credited with raising $25 million for startups in the past year alone. The show began on local- access cable, and is now being produced for national broadcast on PBS at Philadelphia's WHYY.

Bill Roy has been named vice president, engineering for Wildfire Communications. Wildfire is marketing software that helps with telephone-related tasks by providing an electronic assistant that sounds just like a person. If you call Bill at his office and don't catch him in, you'll experience the electronic assistant firsthand. This product was introduced in late 1994. Originally Wildfire went after high-end customers doing lots of deals on the telephone. Now the company is targeting wireless telephone carriers such as Baby Bell in an attempt to resell services to their customers.

The focus of Bill's job is planning and execution of the software development process. Bill has more than 16 years of software development experience, having successfully delivered 23 software products to domestic and international markets.

Bill lives in Londonderry, N.H., with his wife, Lily. He has one son, Ian 14.
