Martin Zimmerman has become a vice president in the Ford Motor Association. After leaving Dartmouth he earned a doctorate in economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He joined Ford in August 1987 as the company's chief economist, following a distinguished career as a professor with MTT and the University of Michigan. In January 1994 he was appointed executive director of governmental relations and corporate economics. Bob Burka dropped a note from Jamaica, where he was accompanied by Maria and their children Jackie (Princeton '96), Michael (Penn '98), and Jennifer '01. Thirty years earlier Bob and Maria had spent their honeymoon in Montego Bay. Bob works in Washington, D.C., as a partner in Foley & Lardner, a national law firm with offices all over. His specialty is antitrust counseling with a focus on financial markets. Bob has set a personal record by staying in the same professional position for almost seven years. Bob and Maria visit Hanover frequently to watch Jennifer play attack on the lax team, the defending Ivy League champions.

For myself, I continue teaching and was recognized with the U.S. Army-Baylor University faculty research award for my research and scholarship in health-care administration. My pile was higher and deeper. Though the recognition was appreciated, it was personally more rewarding to have one of my recent students make an excellent presentation of his award-winning graduate research. Watching my students become accomplished health-care professionals and executives is particularly satisfying (and worth the blood, sweat, and effort).
