Tom Herman is "living now in St. Louis with my wife and four children; gainfully employed as associate profesor of radiology at Washington University School of Medicine at Children's Hospital. I have traveled several times to western Ukraine to lecture on radiology at the Lviv Medical School in Russian, although my Ukrainian is now passable."

Connecticut educator Keith Luckenbach, "as a hoot, took a parttime summer job at the Brooks Brothers Factory Store at Clinton Crossing Premium Outlet mall, where my assertive sales technique is surprising me. Carol and I will go up to Hanover for Sophomore Family Weekend, which raises the following issue: if the members of the class of 2000 start their third year at Dartmouth with the summer term, why is this get-together called the 'Sophomore' Family Weekend? My summer is such that I have time to ruminate on such things."

The big news in the Steve Zrike family "is that Steve Jr. graduated from Dartmouth on June 14. We're already getting our alumni mailings mixed up! The graduation was held in what must have been the worst rainstorm of the twentieth century, but the class of '98's enthusiasm was not dampened (not much, anyway). Now he's looking for a job in publishing or education. Any ideas out there? A terrific side benefit—one tuition down and only four more to go

Dave Reingold "was just elected to a two-year term as chair of the chemistry division of the Council on Undergraduate Research. This group's mission is to strengthen undergraduate science, mathematics, and engineering education through faculty-student collaborative research combined with investigative teaching strategies. Check out our web page at www.cur.org and I invite all science faculty at primarily undergraduate colleges to join."

Michael Roberts, who has been secretary of Harvard University and assistant to its president, has been named the new executive director of the PEN American Center. PEN is an international organization of writers and editors who fight censorship and promote artistic freedom.

Doug Jones has become a board certified trial lawyer, a designation conferred by the National Board of Trial Advocacy. Doug is a partner in the trial department of Chamberlain D'Amanda Oppenheimer & Greenfield of Rochester, N.Y.

Simon Potter is "still a lawyer with a largish firm in Montreal, doing litigation and trade law. My career high, a victory on freedom of speech grounds against the Canadian government's ban of tobacco advertising, was quickly erased by the government's re-enactment of a remarkably similar ban, which must now be challenged all over again. My wife, Nimi, would dearly like me to find a new line of work. Received Fuzzy Thurston '72 a few weeks ago (he'll never change) and receive Bill Blase '72 in a few weeks' time."

Bill Phillips is "starting to talk to some of the folks who remember the first seven women who came to Dartmouth in '68- 69 for a possible film. Anyone who remembers our first reaction to coeducation at Dartmouth is invited to contact me with their thoughts ()." Best.
