John Webster (PhD) sends an update. He writes: “I continue to teach courses on biomedical instrumentation and design at the University of Wisconsin. I’m also involved with various research projects, including designing measurements for menopausal hot flashes and measuring pressure in the brain. Five faculty from Vietnam spent two months with me here to study our methods of teaching.” John adds that his wife, Nancy, volunteers at a retirement center, a campus art museum, “and at our Frank Lloyd Wright–designed Unitarian church.” John and Nancy also traveled to Hanoi, where John gave lectures on medical instrumentation. “We walked around lakes, visited museums, and enjoyed the cuisine. One weekend we slept on the night train to Sapa, a market town in the hill country near China, where we trekked through nearby Hmong ethnic villages set among rice paddies.”
