Bill Daily plans to spend less time in Tampa and more time in the mountains of North Carolina near Asheville. In 1997 he and partners started the Pediatric Health Care Alliance in Tampa. It has grown to 40 members, and Bill looks forward to doing less administering and more golfing. Bill and Bonnie are going to Ireland in the fall, but will return soon, bringing tales for their nine grandchildren.

Gerald "Jerry" Jones has been back in San Antonio for some time. His Navy stint was out of Pearl Harbor ("tough duty"), and then he "got into computers" around Boston in the '6os. After a tour as general counsel for Wang, and connections later with other computer companies and one start-up, he retired at age 49. He's been learning languages to make travel in France, Italy and Mexico more enjoyable. But he hasn't pursued Arabic to support his fascination with and travel in Egypt.

Michael Matzkin, director of the dental clinic at St. Mary's Hospital in Waterbury, Connecticut, has been named this year to the additional post of chief of staff of the hospital, guiding and overseeing the work of more than 500 affiliated physicians.

Chris Wren should have arrived by now. Where? When? How? (Why?) Answers, from his announcement on the listserv in June: 'After 40 years in journalism, I'm bailing out of The NYTimes to write books and ski fulltime. I'm launching my retirement by walking to Vermont from the Times newsroom in midtown Manhattan, via my apartment on the Upper West Side. The distance to my destination, my vacation home in Fairlee, Vermont, is a little more than 300 miles."

John Griffin and John Donnelly have been sighted—off, but not way off—the west coast of Florida, still playing together ever since the games began on the third floor of Fayer weather in 1953. Griff ended his Navy career teaching nuclear engineering to NROTC classes at Rice University. Then, after working all over the world, including a tour in Minneapolis with John Donnelly, he acquired Maurice Pincofs Cos. Inc., back home in Houston in 1970, and has been shepherding that complex export-import-wholesale business ever since. In spite of having to move the business out of a building because of storm Allison's flooding of the floors beneath, he doesn't mention the word "retirement."
