David Aylward "is still running a policy and business consulting firm, National Strategies, in D.C., doing communications and environmental work. Projects inchide a new wireless company offering local competitive telecommunications services, a company offering 911 location service to cellular companies, and our charitable effort working to help teachers integrate computer and communications technology into classrooms. Sanity comes for Cary and me on our island on the Potomac River near Chesapeake Bay where we are slowly building a house and spend weekends. Insanity comes from building a house. Where is BillOrosz when I need him?"

Andrew Hodgdon "was recently in Hanover for the (Injun) Aires 50th. Anniversary. Of about 250 former singers, 70 attended, plus families. We sang two numbers with today's Aires at Spring Sing on Friday of Parents Weekend. Go hear the Aires if you get the chance. They do great comedy routines as well as music that your children probably listen to already. (Mine, ages 15 and 18, actually play the Aires CD.) A capella music is really big on campus. There are ten groups. For more see ."

Matt Stenross is "in the process of looking at schools with oldest son, Bill, a senior in high school this year. Despite encouragement, he is not interested in Dartmouth, and prefers to look at schools where the weather is warmer than upstate New York. Younger son Peter just got back from the Boy Scout Jamboree in Virginia."

Brad Watters's "old friend" and our classmate Ury Baldun is living with his mom in Parma, Ohio, in the house of his childhood. Ury had an adventurous decade in the '7os, one result of which was a disorienting head injury. He is healthy and aware. He's not got the fire he once had, but then who among us does? It is nice that his mom is taking care of him. I'm managing software projects for Dataware Solutions Inc. in Burlington, Mass. Oldest son Christopher is now driving and I could use some tips from classmates who've figured out how to teach a teenager to ride in the middle of his lane instead of way over to the right. Progress toward becoming a minister (my current vocational change) is slow. But I did lead worship last Sunday, preaching the transforming power of connection: God's to us and each of us to another. Text was 1 Kings where the prophet Elijah believes that he has reached the end of the road only to be awakened by the touch of an angel."

Paul Velleman is "living in Ithaca, N.Y., with (new) wife Jennifer and sons David (15) and Jared (almost 2), teaching statistics at Cornell, and guiding Data Description Inc., a software company that develops and sells the statistics package Data Desk for Mac and Windows computers. Just completed work on a multimedia CD for teaching statistics called ActivStats; Addison Wesley and Data Description are publishing it. There's

usually enough to do as father, husband, professor, and CEO that I don't spend much time on sports or hobbies (or sleep for that matter). I recendy returned to Hanover to present a seminar and had the pleasure of meeting with half a dozen of the professors who had made my undergraduate years so memorable. It occurred to me that that kind of long-term bond with faculty is rare here at Cornell, but seemed perfectly natural at Dartmouth." And lasdy, Steve Zrike, your intrepid newsletter editor, reminds those of you who are not on our e-mail lists to fill out your "little green cards" with news for both of us! Peace.
