After receiving his Ph.D. in mathematics with a specialty in probability theory from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Bennett Eisenberg taught for three years at Cornell University, where he met his future wife, Jeanine. They have been married for 48 years and have one son and two grandchildren adopted from China. After the Ithaca, New York, winters, Bennett felt the need for a warmer climate and taught for two years at the University of New Mexico. He then joined the mathematics department at Lehigh University, where he has taught for 46 years. He still enjoys teaching and writing mathematical papers. In fact, he just submitted a paper for publication within the last month. He hopes the referees for the journal agree to publish it. For the rest of the summer he will supervise mathematical projects for two students. He feels fortunate to have been able to spend his life at a variety of great universities and hopes to continue at Lehigh for a few more years.

Roger Klein continues to serve as a congregational rabbi in Cleveland. He had previously taught college prior to assuming the pulpit in 1993. Roger earned his Ph.D. in philosophy in 1980. He notes: “I continue to teach the subjects that I love: Judaism, religion in general, philosophy, and music around Cleveland and throughout the region around Cleveland. I am currently unmarried but dating a wonderful woman. I have three children and two grandchildren from my prior marriage. I continue to work as a congregational rabbi because what I do is enormously gratifying. I have the opportunity to spend my days teaching and learning with stimulating people. I work with children and adults of all ages. I am invited into the lives of my congregants and help them through the high and low points of their lives. Who would want to stop doing something as gratifying as this?”

Gerald Kolski is a physician, who, prior to medical school, obtained his Ph.D. in chemistry from Purdue. He married his wife, Susan, 51 years ago as a graduate student. They have triplets—Brian (a cardiologist), Andrea (a criminal defense lawyer), and Melissa (a physical therapist and college faculty member)—and four grandchildren. Although Jerry began his career teaching college, he decided at age 30 to attend medical school at Cornell and become a pediatrician. He practiced in Philadelphia for six years. During that time he developed an asthma program for inner-city children called Healthy Hoops. It celebrated its 15th year last year, and has expanded from Philadelphia to Louisiana and Michigan, where Jerry still travels. To spend more time with his children he moved to Cooperstown, New York, for seven years while they grew up. He and his wife then moved back to Philadelphia, where he became chair of a hospital’s pediatric program while continuing his work on asthma. He occasionally fills in for allergists in the Houston area.
