Background

As many of you already know, we have just moved from Lebanon, OH to Cambridge, MA. Dan is serving as a Fellow in the Advanced Leadership Initiative at Harvard University for the 2013 year. Marge is on a Faculty Development Sabbitical from Xavier for the Spring 2013 semester so she is able to join Dan in Cambridge. Our son Marvin has taken over as President of Long-Stanton although Dan will remain CEO and plans to return to Long-Stanton with a redefined role in 2014. We have leased an apartment just a few blocks from the Harvard campus. It is on the 9th floor of a mid-rise building on Massachusetts Ave. Quite a change from our log cabin in the woods where we have lived for 30 years! Dan has a short walk to his office, and Marge's commute will be even shorter as she will be working out of the study/guestroom in our apartment (though she does need to drive to see her horse, who is stabled about 15 miles away). This adventure will be made even more exciting by the arrival of our first grandchild. Our daughter Emily and son-in-law Brett, who live only a few miles from our new apartment, are expecting a son in February.
