1976

Greetings! I hope by the time this reaches everyone, spring will be well on its way and we will all be rejuvenated. David Graulich writes from Sacramento, California, that he made a mid-career decision to get a law degree and he's doing the work that most of our classmates did in the late 1970s and 1980s. He's in his second year at McGeorge School of Law at the University of the Pacific in Sacramento. He says it's a pretty little campus that reminds him of Dartmouth—off the beaten path, intimate, with a dedication to teaching. Being so much older than most of the students has made some things interesting—lots of "generation gap" moments. He and Rebecca have bought a house in Fair Oaks, a Sacramento suburb, and welcome classmates to contact them at davidgraulich@ aol.com.

Congratulations to the DCAC for bringing back Buddy Teevens as football coach. Let's hope he can coordinate a return to the successes of the past. I know he'll do everything within his capabilities to get the most out of the system and the talent pool within the undergraduate population.

I'm sitting here in North Carolina with time on my hands as the NCAA basketball season is winding down. On January 26 I took advantage of the medical facilities at Duke and had a failing aortic valve and aortic aneurysm corrected. I now have a synthetic aortic valve and synthetic aortic root, and look forward to returning to work on March 1. Feeling quite bionic. Three weeks after the operation, I'm walking two-plus miles a day and marveling at the wonders of modern medicine. Thanks to those of you who wished me well during the surgery and recuperation.

Send news of yourself and others so I'll have things to pass along.
