Gabriele (Meissner) Doyle writes: "My husband, A. R. Doyle, M.D., CASAM, and I have opened River Bend Christian Counseling, a fully state-licensed alcohol and drug treatment facility located in Moline, Ill. RBCC also provides a full range of mental health and counseling services. We seek to combine Christian principles with 12-step recovery principles and the latest in evidence-based medical treatment. RBCC is the fulfillment of a dream Randy and I have shared since we met 15 years ago. We are co-owners; he is the medical director and I am the business manager. After 11 years of being a stay-at-home mom doing peripheral work to support my husband's career, it's turning out to be quite interesting learning to balance family, work and church. Our three children are Annemarie (11), Hardy (8) and Nathanael (3). We're hoping to set a good example for them of caring, community involvement, and how one person can make a difference. Hope all is well with my fellow classmates — hello Camille Roberts, Brent Rosenbower and Bret Ruiz!"

After deciding to make a major switch on her career path, Nancy Reiser has accepted a position with Edward Jones Investments as an investment representative. Focusing on serving individual investors in the northwest suburban Chicago area, Nancy is very excited about this new opportunity.

David Hirsch, a senior vice president at Smith Barney, Inc., was recently honored by the Illinois CPA Society for his lifetime contributions to public service and for presenting a positive image of certified public accountants (CPAs). He was presented with the society's Public Service Award at its State of the Profession Leadership Luncheon held on May 9, at the Standard Club in Chicago. David has dedicated much of his efforts and time to public service organizations. He is the founder of Illinois Fatherhood Initiative, the country's first state-wide, nonprofit fatherhood organization. The organization's mission is connecting children and fathers by promoting responsible fathering and helping to equip men to become better fathers and father figures. In addition, he is actively involved in raising awareness and funds for the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation to recognize Chicago police officers that have lost their lives in the line of duty. He raised nearly $20,000 mostly through pledges by having friends sponsor him in the 2005 Accenture Chicago Triathlon on Aug. 28 in the name of Officer Phillip O'Reilly, who lost his life in March 2003. Officer O'Reilly, who David did not know, was the father of six children (David and his wife have five children) and would be 44 this year, which is coincidentally David's age.
