FROM E-MAIL (yes, you can simply communicate your news to me at prenr@perkinscoie.com), we learn from wife-of-26-years Marianne that Josh Babad continues in his ophthalmology practice in Santa Cruz. Their son Jon continues at UCSD majoring in engineering, while Lauren is a sophomore in high school. In October, Josh finished the Silicon Valley Marathon in San Jose. He has run 59 marathons and ultra runs and has run two Western States 100-mile races.
Dean Tjosvold is a member of the department of management at Lingnan College in Hong Kong where he is doing studies in Chinese organization. He reports that Richard Weiss, chair of the mathematics department at Tufts, is completing a book with another world-renowned mathematician from Paris. The book is “beautiful” but will take a math scholar a year to read. Keep checking Amazon.com for your copy.
Daniel Rubenfeld is serving as chief economist at the antitrust division of the Dept. of Justice through the fall and will visit at NYU Law School during the spring semester. He will be back at Berkeley next fall.
Peter Turchi and wife Judy are back into their respective academic grinds. Last summer, they hiked the same trails in Taos that they had skied the previous winter. A tough grind indeed.
John Weidman is in his 21st year at the U. of Pittsburgh and is teaching comparative higher education policy and management. He spent four months last summer working in Mongolia on higher education reform projects funded by the Asian Development Bank. Mongolia is providing him with firsthand experience in political transitions – the cabinet appointed during his stay resigned shortly after he left.
Thirty-five years ago we were looking for a way home or to a friend’s home for Thanksgiving in order to demonstrate how extremely sophisticated we had become in a mere three months. If all else failed, there was always Commons.
