family medicine in Ann Arbor since 1 960. Ten years ago I left a well estab-
lished medical practice to found the Summit Medical Center, at which I pro-

During the 1960's I worked in the peace ,and civil rights movements,
and I was elected to the Ann Arbor City Council. In 1976 I bas the Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress from this district and lost by less than 300

people. I think I have the qualities to work at making our state govern-
