Greetings from sunny Cape Cosd—74 degrees with a breeze!

John and Dorothy Barker have retired to Glen Arbor, Michigan, which borders on Sleeping Bear National Lake Shore Park, about 100 miles from Traverse City, in the northern part of the state. When John is not working for Habitat for Humanity hammering nails or supervising construction, they are birding, cross-country skiing or hiking. Previously they lived down state, where the construction was much more active. Here they are building one home for Habitat every 18 months, as the area is very rural. Their children John '83 and Julie '86 each have two children.

Swift and Kit Lawrence are great-grand- parents. Nora Somerville was born to their daughter Jessica and Michael Somerville. Micheal is the son of Scott Somerville '79 and Marcia Lawrence 'Bo. Swift and Kit see Pete and Joan Thompson, who live near them in Westport, Massachusetts. They had dinner with Gill and Hart Perry recently and had a visit from Jim Wiggins. Swift and Kit spend much of the summer sailing; this week an overnight to Cuttyhunk.

Bobby Lieder, Delray Beach, Florida, and Ketchum, Idaho, had his second hip replaced and is better than new except for trading golf for tennis. His wife, Lucy, passed away four years ago. He has traveled to Normandy and the D-day memorials and Paris to London by the Chunnel. His sons Michael and Nick and daughter Jessica have two children each. Bob has a wonderful friend, Mary, a widow from Santa Monica. Ski with him on the black diamonds in Sun Valley.

Marilyn and Bob Bagdasarian live in Winchester, Massachusetts, where Bob continues to practice law. They have a summer home in North Falmouth, Massachusetts (Cape Cod), the site of many family gatherings in addition to family reunions that took place in France, California and New York. Their son Bruce '84 has two children, ages 6 and 3, a boy and a girl. Bob played golf this week with Dr. Phil Reilly, who lives in Oster ville, Massachusetts. Phil is now retired as a surgeon. He continues to do administrative review of patient care and surgical outcomes. He and his wife, Joan, spend January and Febrary each year in Florida. Each of their sons has three children. Happily one son lives near them in Medfield, Massachusetts. Joan serves on the board of Ocean Spray, and Phil Jr. is on the board of Arnold Advertising.

Dr. Larry Kretchmar and his wife, Bernis, live in Los Altos, California, where Larry con- tinues to see patients in his urology practice. Larry interned at "The Hitchcock," spent four years in Rochester, New York, and two years in the Navy. Their 19-year-old grandaughter is in her second year at Wellesley College. Larry and Bernis have four grandchildren. Dick and Lois Frieder will be visiting them this summer.
