Ear Research Institute, 1980-1982

Pictures from the Ear Research Institute, later renamed the House Ear Institute.

Notable for their omission here: Curt Welch (moved back to Georgia to finish degree), Larry Helmerich, Sylvia Imler, Ed Zilberts and Judy Brimacombe (all not there yet, I think), Mike Danley and his co-worker (Franco?) (God knows why they're not among the Hatted -- I was using physical film and may simply have run out, and then I lost the hat off the back of my motorcycle).

Shannon Brunjes

My first computer boss. I had worked for him when he was a professor at Georgia Tech. He came to the Ear Research Institute and brought Curt Welch along, and when Curt decided to go back to get his degree, Dr. Brunjes thought of me.

Lauren

Lauren

She was actually kind of interesting and shy. Look at how she's dressed: an earring, a T-shirt that says, "Cochlear Implants are EAR-replaceable!", a leisure suit coat, a scarf, and, of course, a Hat.

Jim in Finance

A nice guy, and a great listener. Once, when I was telling him that I was considering renting a washer/dryer for my apartment, and saying that I thought that I'd never get approved, he listened, and nodded, and said, "Yes, but have you tried?"

Meg Foster?

Meg Foster?

I'm pretty sure that this is Meg Foster. She was an aspiring actress, but is not the Meg Foster who starred in the first six episodes of Cagney & Lacey...

Nan, with Photoshopped Hat.

I think that this guy was one of the many random visiting doctors who infested Ear Research, learning how to do cochlear implants.
