Robin Lambert Graham and Jack Graham are in Knoxville, Tenn. Robin has worked at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, environmental studies division, for 12 years. Last October she was named head of the ecological and earth sciences section. Robin supervises 104 researchers, including 54 Ph.D.s "working on issues as far ranging as using fluorescing bacteria to sense buried land mines to assisting the State Department on global climate change issues. I love the job." Jack is at Sterling Engineering in Knoxville, and is the president of the PTSA of an inner-city magnet school and "a key player in Knoxville school desegregation issues." Robin and Jack have two daughters (10 and 13). Between the kids, work, and community activities, Robin writes, they are "plenty busy but it's a rich, rewarding time."

David Fuller saw many classmates and other Dartmouth alumni at the memorial service for professor Rod Alexander this past fall. David writes, "Rod's legacy lives on throughout the country in many different aspects of the performing arts, before and behind the scenes in radio, television, theater, and film. We were blessed to have him at Dartmouth." David's own Theater Top Ten continues "going on strong" in New York City. You 'can check out the latest at . Over the holidays David directed a radio play adaptation of A Christmas Carol, with our own Mark Gamell portraying Scrooge.

Myron Allen is now the associate vice president for academic affairs at the University of Wyoming. This past summer Myron and spouse Adele joined PaulStockton, Jamie Angello, and Ben Roth (Ph.D. '69) for "a strenuous but beautiful backpacking trip in the Cascades, near Lake Chelan in Washington. The keen wisdom and sober judgment of these folks failed to rub off on me, however. The routes I chose ran orthogonal to most of the maintained trails in the region."

Barry Braverman switched careers, from "gallivanting around the globe with a camera" to writing screenplays in LA, hoping to spend more time with his family. Barry is now "holed up in a room, and I don't go anywhere." Barry visited Juneau a few years ago on a photo shoot for National Geographic and enjoyed taking pictures of bald eagles at our landfill. Barry is the second classmate in recent months to report having visited Juneau. If you pass through, on the cruise boats or for business, give a call! We live downtown and enjoy showing classmates around.

Random notes: Jeff Hildebranf is chief operating officer at Evanston Northwest Healthcare, a comprehensive "academic delivery system" closely affiliated with the Northwestern University Medical School. Brad Fletcher had another big year selling commercial real estate in Portland, Ore. Brad is the senior vice president of Grubb & Ellis, and his deals have been widely featured in the northwest business press. Janet BaileyFaude is a project manager at Aetna Retirement Services in Hartford, Conn. Janet was elected to a leadership post in the Connecticut Valley Girl Scout Council, whose board includes our own NaomiBaline Klienman. Also in Hartford is TomDaniels, a partner in the Murtha Cullina law firm, practicing in the commercial and real-estate section. Last, I regret to inform you of the passing of David Todd Eames, who died from cancer at his home in New York City last fall. No other details were available at press time.
