Last August, Barbara Burnham Leary (remember Betty Bates?) and eight of

long-distance running. Husband Carmin is professor of accounting and department
chair at Mitchell College in New London.... In an e-mail to the College
recently, Albert Fleury offered an overview of his career since Bates.
"I have an urge to touch base with the Bates community," he wrote. "Upon my
graduation from Bates I moved to Paris, where I attended the Univ. of Paris
School of Medicine and, after a few false starts, received my M.D. in 1976. My
gratitude to the French government is undying. I must say I have one point of
contention with Bates: In my senior year, I was told I didn't have what it
takes to become a doctor. Yet, for many years now I have practiced internal
medicine with some success. My advice: Don't listen to these people. Choose
your own path. I then completed a three-year internal medicine residency in
Boston, practiced in Massachusetts for awhile, and then moved to Hawaii on
Maui. It was there that my wife, Rosalyn, died at a young age from breast
cancer. After two years in Hawaii, I moved back to the mainland and remarried,
to Ana. She and I have two children, Christopher (13) and Jocelyn (10). For
seven years we lived in Minnesota, and it was there that I was involved in
competitive dogsledding, competing in many races, including the 500-mile John
Beargrease Marathon. Intellectually, I have a philosophical bent, and my
musings swing from Jung to haiku with many variations in between. There you
have it -- a life off the beaten path, with a little bit of Bates thrown in for
good measure."... After eight months with the pediatric AIDS program, Chris
Hager joined the bone marrow transplantation program at Health Resources
Services Administration overseeing contracts to maintain the unrelated donor
registry. Chris asks that anyone with a design idea for an AIDS quilt panel for
Brad Daziel contact her at 301-279-2037 or e-mail chris@aol.com.... In
San Francisco, Carla Hoag White was elected to the board of the Bay area

School, Sue Janssen has completed a certificate program in educational

that won us a free vacation."... Karen Magnani had a poem published in

the College Club and had served as recording secretary. An active member of the
Springfield Garden Club, she belongs to a horticultural group that studies
