James Fendrich Retirement is great. I still read an occasional manuscript. In general, I am getting healthier, reading widely, attending political events, making new friends in the NW and for recreation Rving and boating. I recently attended my 50th high school reunion at O'Dea high in Seattle.

Lawrence Hazelrigg
A relaxing summer in a cabin in Montana has now come to a close, and I expect to return to Tallahassee shortly. Recent publications include (1) “A Perilous Uniqueness,” in The Semiotic Review of Books vol 15 (2005), a review of Signs of Danger by Peter van Wyck, and (2), with Melissa Hardy, Social Security and the Great Debate, a monograph forthcoming from Russell Sage (2007). I continue to work on my “selfhood” project, presently concentrating on the ancient Greek formations. | ||

Graham C. Kinloch
Dr. Graham Kinloch, who joined the Sociology Department in 1970 and served as Chair of the Department in 1975-1976, retired from the faculty in March 2006. His colleagues, supported by the College of Social Sciences Dean and FSU Provost and President, awarded him Emeritus Professor status, which he richly deserves. Graham will be missed not only because he taught social theory, race/ethnic relations, and large sections of introduction to sociology with never a complaint. He also helped our sociology majors plan and graduate and, best of all, made us all laugh. Graham's great sense of humor brought a relief to tedium of and challenges of running a large, complex Department and College. But the golf course is not ready for Dr. Kinloch yet, as he is now serving as College of Social Sciences Associate Dean for Student Affairs. You can still find him on the 5th floor of the Bellamy Building every Thursday morning, enjoying his weekly doughnut. | ||

Patricia Yancey Martin
Pat Martin retired officially in December of 2007, but, so far, it's hard to detect any real change! On sabbatical in the Fall of 2007, she spent her last semester as Visiting Professor of Gender in Sociology and Gender Studies at Ruhr University in Bochum Germany. In Bochum, she co-taught a graduate seminar (with Professor Ilse Lenz) and traveled around Germany and Holland lecturing on gender in work organizations--at Hannover, Darmstadt, Kassel, and Neijegen, among other places. In March 2008, she traveled to Gothenburg, Sweden, on a Fulbright Fellowship to teach "Gender & Diversity in Organizations" and "Field Methods for Studying Organizations" to graduate students at Gothenburg University in Management, Economics, Law, and Social Science. After this stint, she is slated to teach a graduate seminar in "Gender & Organizations" in the Sociology Department at the University of Illinois-Chicago (Fall 2008). She is serving a three-year term on the Publications Committee of the American Sociological Association and intends to remain active as a teacher and scholar in the coming years. Copies of her recent work can be obtained from her webpage, at this link: http://www.sociology.fsu.edu/people/martin/ | ||

Jim Orcutt
Retirement has meant more free time to read, write, travel, and enjoy family activities, including playtime with our newest addition, Lilly, the pound puppy. On the professional front, I plan to get some papers out the door in the coming months and to offer my alcohol and drug problems course via distance learning as an adjunct at FSU. I’ll be doing some occasional gigs with the neighborhood band and continuing my volunteer work as web manager for the Leon H.S. tennis website. When summer arrives, you will find me in Minnesota, just a few mouse clicks away from students and friends at jorcutt@fsu.edu. You can also visit my webpage at http://orcutt.socprobs.net. | ||

Charles Nam
Charles Nam, an octogenarian, hasn't had time for the rocking chair yet. He keeps an office on the 6th floor of Bellamy and is involved in four research projects -- family definitions and family structure (with Kathi Tillman), time series of occupational SES (with Monica Boyd), multiple medical causes of death (with Ike Eberstein), and cause-of-death variations in mortality crossovers (with Ike Eberstein). In June he published his first piece of fiction, an historical mystery novel called The Golden Door. The book can also be ordered online from Barnes & Noble or Amazon or Borders. He dabbles in genealogy, reads a lot, and tries to stay healthy.
