Class of 1991
ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS OF KSU-CVM’S CLASS OF 1991:
Hi! I realize I have been slacking
the past few years on the class newsletter and I
apologize for that. However, we now have an opportunity
to keep in touch a little easier (without my
interference or editing)—there will now be a class web
site associated with the K-State CVM Alumni Web site to
which we can individually send information, notices,
pictures, news…Everything must be sent electronically
but then it can be posted and available for our class to
see. In order to get this up and going, we just need to
send our e-mail addresses and permission to use it on
the class listserve to Cheri Ubel (
Ubel@vet.k-stat.edu
). Joe Nisil will be the contact guy to set up the site.
Additional information regarding this should be included
in this mailing. So…Please send in your work news, your
family news, pictures…anything you would like to share
with the class and then remember to check the web site
periodically. I think vet school is a unique situation
in which one has 4 years of very concentrated time with
the same group of people and it seems weird not to keep
in touch afterward. I am always amazed and pleased at
how easy it is to pick up again when we see each other
at reunions. It’s like we were just together last week
except that most of us have aged (at least a little
bit).
So much for my pitch for the website. So, what is
happening in the Buback house….well, we are still in
Indianapolis and are hoping to break our pattern of
moving every 5-6 years. We do miss Wisconsin (by the
way…HOW ‘BOUT THOSE
PACKERS!!!!!!!!!) but it is
nice being a little more central and closer to family.
Our kids, Tim (10), Hannah (8) and Caleb (6) have all
adapted well and continue to be best friends and arch
enemies depending on the day (or sometimes hour). With
three, it is interesting to watch how alliances change
through the course of the day. Tim has been substitute
teaching at the kids’ school—now that Caleb is in
Kindergarten he had more time. I’m not sure if he’ll go
back to work as a veterinarian. I think some days he
really misses it and other days, well….I work at Indiana
Veterinary Specialists with John Stephan (he did his
residency at K-State and is our genre). So far it has
been a good experience and I like it. There is much less
emergency on-call work which has been very nice. I still
kind of cringe when I am on call and the phone rings but
I don’t have quite the same visceral reaction that I use
to have. Hope all of you are doing well and life is
treating you right. I’m also sending a couple pics of
the family. Hope to hear from all of you soon!
