• Tim Rundquist, assistant professor of business administration, celebrated his 50th birthday this summer with a deep-sea fishing trip off the coast of Vancouver Island, Canada. He and two friends spent four days reeling in king salmon (right), coho salmon, and bottomfish, including a 50-pound halibut. His freezer is still full of fish, if you’re willing to barter!
