Don Henderson '71 has signed a contract with SAS Press to write his second book, SAS Server Pages and More: A Framework for Generating Dynamic Content. Don's first book, Building Web Applications with SAS/IntrNet: A Guide to the Application Dispatcher, was published by SAS Press in 2007.

 

Jeff Rosen '70 writes "After Einstein, I went to Maryland, then Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City. I did an internship and residency at Emory University in Atlanta in Orthopaedic Surgery. I met my wife in Atlanta - she is from Orlando, Florida, so I joined Orlando Orthopaedic Center in 1984. I was Chief of Orthopaedic Surgery at Orlando Regional Medical Center, but administrative duties are not my forte, so I resigned from that position after several years. I specialize in hip and knee replacement and reconstruction.

            We have four children. Three are done with college and grad school, and the youngest is a sophomore at SMU in Dallas."

 

Linsey (Conley) Tokar '71 writes that her daughter Erica Lynn Tokar married Matthew Stone in May in Stone Harbor, New Jersey. Erica is pursuing a Juris Doctor and a Master of Arts in International Affairs in a dual-degree program at American University. Matt is pursuing a master's degree in Educational Technology at Johns Hopkins University. They met in college at St. Mary's College of Maryland. Linsey and her husband James recently celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary.

 

Jonathan Libber '71 writes "It will probably never get consideration in an athletic hall of fame, but I believe it was Mr. Alan Ferraro, one of the PE teachers and drivers ed teacher, who did something special. He became head of the referees in Montgomery County schools. In one very close football game, the referees blew the call, and the wrong team won. Those sorts of things happen all the time at all levels of sports. While he could not change the result on the field,
Mr. Ferraro went to the losing team's school and personally apologized to the teachers and students. That sort of class you rarely see."
 

Street Renamed for Bill Druhan: The City Council of Purcellville, Virginia has renamed a street previously called "A Street" to "W. T. Druhan Jr. Boulevard" in honor of the late Bill Druhan '65, who passed away earlier this year. Bill served as Mayor of Purcellville from 2002 to 2006.
