Warren Cook writes that after 13 years in the ski business, he decided to go 
from ice to mice and has become president of JAX Research Systems which is the 
business part of the Jackson Laboratory.  Jackson Laboratory, in Bar Harbor, 
Maine, is one of the top nonprofit medical science research institutes providing 
genetically engineered mice for biomedical research, as well as the technology 
transfer and product development activities growing out of the research programs.  
Warren has international experience in business management, organizational 
development, and finance.  From 1976 to 1986, he was president and chief executive 
officer of Chemfab Corporation in Merrimack, NH.  He most recently served as chief 
operating officer for American Skiing Company of Newry, Maine.  It will be an 
exciting assignment in a fast growing and fascinating technology.

John D. Talbott ventured on the Class webpage putting his big toe in the water, 
electronically speaking, to see if this danged newfangled Internet thing works. 
He asks how do they cram all these letters into those tiny wires and send them all 
over creation? John continues in his 12th year as VP/Creative Director at PCDI, 
a young whippersnapper of a correspondence school company in Atlanta, GA. One 
daughter and husband are soon to return from their Peace Corps assignment in the 
Solomon Islands, and are traveling through Asia before hitting home turf in mid-May. 
Other daughters are graphic-designing in Colorado and photographing in Atlanta.  
John extends an open invitation to e-mail him (jtalbott@pcdi.com) or call before 
coming to Atlanta. 
 
Sandy McCague (sandy_mccague@cfis.com) noted he started working as General Counsel 
of Crum & Forster Insurance headquartered in Morristown, NJ. After living in NH for 
the past 20+ years, he is adjusting to the faster-paced environs of NJ. He commutes 
to NH on weekends. The family is building a home in Sparta, a beautiful area more 
like NH than thought. Sandy says if anyone wants to proffer advice on what a newcomer 
to NJ needs to know (other than taxes and insurance!), he's all ears!
