90 After many years of exemplary
service, Laura Senier has decided to hang up her hat as class correspondent. Through a chance phone call (and a couple of e-mails), I now have taken on the task of class correspondent and shall do my best to meet the standard she set. . . .

From its San Francisco base, Circa Asia sells a number of home accessories and handmade paper products from Nepal, Thailand, Vietnam and India to retail stores as well as through the Web site. . . . Chris Hobart sent a note detailing many of his adventures over the years. After a short stint in East Asia, Chris moved to San Francisco in 1991. He considered a number of options, including law, which led to a six-year stint as a paralegal. He finally settled on medicine, and that meant going back to school for two years of premed classes plus one year of research in a lab before starting med school in earnest. He is happy to report that he finally graduated med school (UCSF) and will be starting a psychiatry resi-
dency program this summer at UCSF. . . . Keep sending news and thanks to all above for sending theirs. —Franc-Eric Wiedmer
