We may have two of America's most enterprising physicians on our class roster. Dr. Peter Dorsen author and outdoorsman now runs Housecall Docs, an organization that will actually send a doctor to your home. It's designed, primarily, for those whose other medical option is the emergency room. Housecall Docs is located in Minneapolis, while Pete's other current activity, conducting a family practice at the Asian Community Health Center, takes him to St. Paul.

While Pete's approach is up close and personal, Dr. Julian Whitaker's is mass appeal and natural. He's editor of Health Healing, billed as the world's largest circulation health newsletter with more than 500,000 subscribers. The monthly, based in Potomac, Md., provides advice based on both traditional and alternative medicine and leans heavily toward natural remedies. Julian's 32-page advertising brochure seeking new subscribers is widely circulated. One copy even went to a certain Peter Dorsen in Minneapolis.

Jeff Futter senior counsel of the Long Island Lighting Co., has been elected chair of the New York state Bar Association's 1,100-member corporate counsel section. Jeff has litigated complex energy proceedings before federal and state agencies, including power plant licensing and abandonment cases, state electric and gas rate cases, and statewide conservation proceedings. Jeff earned his law degree from SMU and a master's of law degree from NYU. Gus Southworth, a Connecticut trial lawyer for 25 years, has left the law firm of Gager & Peterson to join Carmody & Torrance, with offices in Waterbury and New Haven. Gus has tried more than 150 cases to verdict and represents many physicians and health-care providers. He, Susan, and their two children live in Woodbury, Conn.

Caleb Loring has been named Man of the Year by the Glovsky Lodge of B'nai B'rith in Beverly, Mass. Caleb, who runs Essex Street Associates, a financial planning firm, was instrumental in raising $50,000 to rehabilitate the Beverly YMCA and is a leader in countless civic, community, and arts groups on the North Shore. "He's constantly helping connect people to the right people," says a neighbor.

Pete Shortridge, a professor of geography, was named one of five Outstanding Educators in 1997 at the University of Kansas by Mortar Board, a national senior honor society. Pete earned both his master's and doctorate in geography from KU and received a Distinguished Teaching Award in

Ken Taylor, president of Taylor Packing Co. Inc., in Wyalusing Penn, was recently elected vice chairman of the American Meat Institute. Roger Perry, president of Champlain College in Burlington for six years, will unveil a new 24,000-square-foot information commons this summer, a state of-the-art, new-breed library that will allow the 1,350 students to access the latest in Internet and telecom technology.

Happily, the bells keep ringing. JoeAllen, a partner in the Worcester, Mass., law firm of Dunn, Leader & Allen, married Nancy Rogers, the Shrewsbury, Mass., director of public health, in January. Cheers!
