Dr. Robert Freilich will be traveling as our tour physician. Judy Freilich will be assisting him and serving as a chaperone.  Bob and Judy are parents of Jon Freilich (Tenor Sax/ Jazz Ensemble I)  They accompanied the Jazz Ensemble on their two week tour of Europe in 1995 and proved that they had the student's best interests in mind when Bob missed much of the tour attending to an injured and hospitalized student while in Germany. Bob has an active practice in Internal Medicine. Judy has been one of the most active music parents since her son Mike, who is now a Junior at the University of Michigan, played in Freshman Jazz Ensemble. She has coordinated the parent volunteers for the New Trier Jazz Festival for too many years to remember.  Their participating on this tour should be a great relief to all tour families. Dr. Freilich will be researching health issues as they relate to China and we will provide him with as much web page space as he desires when he is ready to report.
