His specialty is antitrust counseling with a focus on financial markets. Bob has set a personal record by staying in the same professional position for almost seven years. Bob and Maria visit Hanover frequently to watch Jennifer play attack on the LAX team, the defending Ivy League champions. For myself, I continue teaching and was recognized with the U.S. Army-Baylor University faculty research award for my research and scholarship in healthcare administration. My pile was higher and deeper. Though the recognition was appreciated, it was personally more rewarding to have one of my recent students make an excellent presentation of his award winning graduate research. Watching my students become accomplished healthcare professionals and executives is particularly satisfying (and worth the blood, sweat, and effort). - Dave Mangelsdorff (3410 Turtle Village Drive, San Antonio, Texas 78230- 3918).
