Herman Narcho delivers food for Meals on Wheels once a month. He also shares the title of first vice president (community relations) of the Jamestown Elementary PTA in Virginia. "With a budget of more than $20,000, we have been able to help other schools in Arlington County that are less fortunate than ours," he writes. "Last year we donated more than 200 coats to our sister school, Hoffman Boston Elementary. We also donated software, books and other items to help those in need. I take great pride in serving both of these organizations." Chris Brown joined Shook, Hardy & Bacons tort and employment sections in the firms Miami office as "of counsel." Chris focuses on tort, employment, election law and commercial litigation. He is a former adjunct professor of international law at Florida International University and speaks French, Russian and Spanish. Chris has argued before the Supreme Court of Florida. Andrew Gutow and his family moved back to Ann Arbor from Atlanta, having taken a faculty position in orthopedic surgery at the medical school at the University of Michigan. Last April the Gutows added Matthew to the mix of children, along side Joshua (4) and Annie (2). Mike Cahn, our class Webmaster, has been a busy man. He and his wife, Suzie, welcomed Finn David Cahn on July 15, 2002. He joins siblings Eli (8), Rosa (6) and Samuel (2). He also wrote: "In January of this year I arranged to begin working three days a week, so that I could spend more time with my growing family. It was new ground for everyone involved. My employer had to make administrative and cultural adjustments, since I am the first part-timer there. I had to agree to move out of my management role and more or less off any kind of career track. At home, I had to climb the housework and childcare learning curves, while radically reducing my expectations of what I could actually get done while caring for my four young children. And Suzie patiently waited while my contributions as co-homemaker transformed from an initial hindrance to being a real help. And now, as we both feel much more settled into this way of living, we are finding more time and energy to pursue other interests. Suzies now working professionally on the odd day (she's an art therapist), and I have begun work on establishing a rural organic food co-operative."
