Dear Josh:

I had a heady experience with the Iowa Board of Regents'
interview last Tuesday. I thought the day went well, but I
was informed on Saturday that they had narrowed the candidates
to two:

Paul Rosenblatt, Dean, College of Liberal Arts,
University of Arizona at Tucson, and

James Friedman, Dean, College of Law, University
of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia.

Although it was a mild disappointment I find that it is
also a relief not to be facing the heavy responsibilities of such
a position. I've had three good nights' sleep since being elimi-
nated!

Thank you again for your efforts. I'm still in the mood to
consider leaving Houston with its high crime rate, high pollution
levels, and traffic jams (no mass transit).

Barb is moving to "Silicon Valley" (near San Jose) next month.
She's still in Data Processing and is getting a big promotion and
raise to 36K. Pretty good for a kid who didn't finish college?

Hez is retiring next month. He has Parkinsonism and was robbed
and tied up under knife point-- he is still shaken and shaking.
They caught a suspect with his stolen car but the rest of his
belongings (hi fi, camera, etc.) were not recovered. The trial is
August 17.

Give me a call if you ever visit Houston again. My home phone
is (713) 741-7099.

Sincerely,

Margery W. Shaw, M.D., J.D. ¥
