Debby Knight and I live with our 2 cats in a purple Victorian house in the middle of Cambridge - as of now, I've been in this house for half of my life!
Peter Woodrow stays with us from time to time as he travels between his new house in Brattleboro VT, his office down the street, and the many places all over the world that his job takes him.
We welcome visitors.
I am still self-employed doing engineering work, which these days it is mostly writing Macintosh programs. One of my major projects over the past several years has been working with a doctor at McLean hospital in Belmont, MA to develop a computer administered test that helps quantify ADHD in juveniles, adolescents, and adults. Other projects have included software for clinical drug testing, designing and building hardware for medical research, doing a few audio engineering projects, and working with various local artists on their kinetic sculptures.

I continue to be involved in calling and playing music for Contra and Square dances. Debby and I probably average a dance or so a week over the year; most of these are public dances, but we also do the occasional wedding or school gig - last summer we did two different 50th wedding anniversary dances. Recently a local paper, the 'Carlisle Mosquito', published a great article about one of the dances that we have been doing for almost 20 years now - check it out at www.carlislemosquito.org/2004/2004-12-03/pages.
The bottom picture is of Debby and me playing with a bunch of teenage fiddlers last summer at our Concord Scout House Saturday night dance series - ah, the energy of youth.

I am still in a wheelchair, but since I have been taking an MS stabilization drug for the last 6 years now, the progression of the disease has slowed way down. I can still get around pretty well if I don't have to deal with stairs and other impediments.
The complications of growing older!
I am sorry that I will miss everyone at the reunion, but traveling is just not practical for me anymore.
My best to all.....
