We envision a future where we see clinic patients in the morning, have a nice lunch together, then play golf or tennis in the afternoon.

Sam continues growing the Dermatology Department at the Medical College of Wisconsin, and his research is going well.

One of the true joys of academic life has been the privilege of traveling around the world to visit other medical schools. In October, Sam went to Japan where he gave a plenary talk at Dr. Akira Ozawa’s Psoriasis Research Meeting and lectured to the faculty at Keio University School of Medicine (hosted by Dr. Masa Amagain, shown in photo). Sam was proud that some of his former fellows are now Chairs (Abel Lee, Hidehisa Saeki and, soon, Tomotaka Mabuchi)!

Kathy enjoys taking care of patients at Aurora Health Care without the hassles of office management, although she’s learning it takes much longer to implement change.

Matthew is working at EPIC (the electronic medical records software company) in Madison while waiting to hear back from medical schools. But we aren’t sure if he should enroll, since the practice environment is changing so quickly.

Andrew is finishing senior year at Carleton College before joining Facebook as a full-time designer.

Both boys have found nice female companions,

and if things get serious, Hilton Head will make a great wedding venue. ☺

Sam’s mother is still enjoying sunny California living near his brother, Paul.

Kathy’s parents move back and forth between Arizona and Philadelphia and enjoyed a family reunion at Thanksgiving.
