First: Thanks to Miss Zito, teacher of the "Personal Typing" course in the Fall of 1964, which, to this day, remains the most valuable course I ever took in any school. Whooda thunk that one's fingertips would one day become as essential for communication as one's tongue? Thank you, Miss Zito. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

fter graduation back in 1965, and I've seldom been back. I was a swimmer at the University of Louisville, then spent 9 years in Ann Arbor going to med school and grad school and taking a residency.

Happily married since 1969 (day of Armstrong's moon landing) to Connie, whom I met at Louisville. Two wonderful scholar/athlete daughters: one a Harvard senior, the other a Yale sophomore. Went to the 10 year reunion at the Roostertail in '75, but otherwise have totally lost contact with absolutely everyone. I still think that Wm DiMaria's "Hail to thee our alma mater" is one of the best school songs I've ever heard (8/15/2006).
