Christine Baer (1972) sent us this update: I went on to grad−&school at Old Dominion U in Virginia where I majored in icthyology and met my husband. We went on to Hawaii where Larry got his Ph.D. in fish behaviour under George Losey and I worked at the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology on various grants. We were glad to return to the mainland in 1981... I now grow things fro the local Land Conservancy for prairie restorations and for nature center natvie plant sales. I am also an avid birder. So much to do and so little time.
