1962

Bernie Jacobs wrote recently. Bernie practices psychiatry in Mahopac, N.Y., where he grew up. I consulted Rand & McNally to locate Mahopac, and it certainly looks like a nice place, about three inches north of Manhattan and only one inch east of the Hudson and West Point. Bernie also works parttime in academe at the New York Medical College. Career and business were not the subject of Bernie's note, however. Bernie's wife, Elaine, underwent heart surgery in November. We hope that Elaine is doing well and that we see the Jacobses this October in Hanover looking fit. Perhaps we can all jog around the bonfire 98 times. Bernie made contact with JohnWinchester's long-time companion, Cindy, who lives in Sudbury, Mass. Cindy was pleased to talk with Bernie about john. (You may recall that John died last August.) Frank Kehl wrote a thoughtful and profound letter and in the process encouraged this simple country doctor wannabe writer. Frank hadn't visited with Pete Brink for ten years, but they got together for dinner—which shows that Texas (Pete) and the Big Apple (Frank) have more in common than one might guess. It's The Green Connection, I suppose. And speaking of the Big Apple, we read frequendy and with admiration the many outstanding accomplishments of Steve Roth, the class's most famous realestate mogul and chairman of the high-flying real estate trust called Vornado.

"Hardy Speaks Out on Managed Care" said die headline in the Winter 1998 DMS alumni news and notes. That's Russ Hardy, who slogged through college and two years of medical school in five years at Dartmouth and then finished his M.D. degree at Harvard. Russ is president of the Academy of Medicine of Cleveland and professor of neurosurgery at Case Western Reserve. He worries about those nice medical insurance companies that might possibly be reluctant to share profits with medical teaching and research. Good work, Russ. But tell me, what are you up to? The photograph that accompanies the article shows you grinning from ear to ear!

Bruce Ennis was featured in the Washington Post financial section last August for his legal specialty: Supreme Court advocacy. Bruce served as counsel in more than 250 cases before the "Supremes" and personally argued 13 of those cases. RichardHofmann moved from the presidency of Continental Can Co. to be president and chief executive officer of Kerr Group Inc., a manufacturer of plastic packaging products for the food and drug industries. Did you run into John Schempf at the 35th Reunion? John is town administrator for the

Town of Windsor, Vt. Before that, John wore the Coast Guard uniform for 28 years. Gary Spiess, head of Bank Boston's internal legal department, was elected Boston Bar Foundation president last spring. The BBF under Gary's leadership concerns itself with funding legal services for the poor. Gary is also a trustee of the North Shore Medical Center of Salem and Lynn, Mass.
