1962
Best wishes this month to Pete Stern '63 and the new '63 column. We're glad to have the youngsters with us as alumni, but we're still going to outshine them just as we did back in Hanover.
Much has happened with many members of the Class, so we'll get right down to business, first with the weddings, and there have been a few. Pikesville, Md., was the setting for the June 17 wedding of BertBarnett to Miss Carol Frederick Nassauer. Mrs. Barnett is a Wheaton alumna. Bert has been doing work at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business Administration. On July 28 Colby-ite Miss Deborah Rowe Samson traded her name for a new model. Mrs. Mike Beachley. Phil Huddleston and Roy Abbanat assisted with the festivities. Mike's new Mrs. also studied at Mary Hitchcock School of Nursing which will probably mean lots of wifely understanding for Mike, currently at Harvard Med. Buck Cass found a new tax exemption on June 15 in the form of Miss Louise Hickok Emmons of Washington, D. C. Louise is a student at Sarah Lawrence while Buck keeps busy doing graduate work at Rockefeller Institute. New York City. The two are living in NYC following an Alaskan honeymoon. Al Cook, studying at Union Theological Seminary, decided that if he's going to perform marriage ceremonies maybe he'd better see what they're like. Miss Mary Jane Blackburn was willing to help, so they were married on June 1. Mrs. Cook attended Wheelock College, and both will resume their studies after Al serves a fifteen-month internship as the Winter Ski Chaplain, under the auspices of the National Council of Churches, at Sequoia National Park in California. If the members of Corbey Court, Yale Law School, look up from their books this fall they will find a new addition to New Haven, Mrs. Al Dynner. Mrs. Dynner, the former Miss Nancy Tuck Davis of Manchester, Conn., is a graduate of Cushing Academy and Wheelock College. Following the June 30 wedding the couple spent two weeks in Jamaica before returning to New Haven. Out Los Angeles way are Mr. andMrs. Pete Drowne who were married June 22 in Norwich, Vt. Happy to help out with official duties were Bill Rivoire and PhilO'Hara. The former Miss Elizabeth Cocks Thayer is a graduate of Bradford Junior College and the University of Vermont. Pete is still studying theatre arts at UCLA.
On June 15 it was Al Gaudet and Miss Mary Loretta Hamilton in North Scituate, Mass. (For you mid-westerners, it's pronounced Sit-chew-et.) The bride, a graduate of Rhode Island Hospital School of Nursing, Providence, has followed hubby to Hanover where Al is finishing up his studies. Miss Beverly Jean Young of Darien, Conn., a Skidmore grad, became Mrs. Kent Graham on May 2. Kent is an ensign in the U.S. Naval Reserve. This spring was a big one for Al Greenbaum. On May 15 he was hired to start teaching in September at the Winfield Morse School, Tarrytown, N.Y. Once he had the job he went out and got married to Miss Sharon Lynn Horn of New Rochelle. Then he finished off his work for his M.A.T. at Columbia. Mrs. Greenbaum teaches at the Elmwood Country Day School in White Plains. June 22 was the big day for Miss Cynthia Nan Wheaton and DwightHayward. Mrs. Hayward, of Burlington, Vt., attended Skidmore College and the Katha rine Gibbs Special Course for College Women. Dwight graduated from Tuck this past June and is now a second lieutenant, USAR, stationed in Sacramento, Calif. JimJohnson was married out Cincinnati way the end of June to Miss Ann Hale Lotspeich, a graduate of Cornell. The couple is making with the domestic scene in Versailles, Ky. Mr. and Mrs. Barry Jones are making their home at Rust Island in Gloucester, Mass., following their June 22 wedding in Kent, Ohio. The former Miss Diane Christine Dexter, Mrs. Jones, attended Kent State University in Ohio.
This has been a big summer for weddings, and unfortunately we have about thirty weddings and fifteen or so engagements still to report. But because of space limitations we'll have to hold off until the next issue.
The wanderlust has caught up with Samand Marilee Anderson. They are spending the full academic year studying at the University of Berlin, following some time in Bavaria practicing the language and customs. Brian Klinger finished his studies at Dartmouth in June and has begun three years of work for his O.D. degree at the Illinois College of Optometry. Lou Glatzer, after spending last fall seeing the West, is currently holding an assistantship in genetics at North Carolina State College in Raleigh. The immediate goal is a Master's in biochemical genetics; in the distance, a doctorate. Word comes from Dick Maynard, who heads up a 4.2 mortar platoon in Korea, of his battle group's celebration of Tomahawk Day, "in honor of General George Custer's defeat at the battle of Little Big Horn." Dick would like to know of any other classmates in Korea or Japan. Those of you in the States can send me addresses; those in the Pacific can find Dick with the First Battle Group, Seventh Cavalry. Mr. and Mrs. Jim Hale became proud parents on February 1 with the birth of David Scott Hall. Jim is in his second year at U. of Minnesota Law School.
Jim Murar thought it would be a good idea to get some Kappa Sig names back in the news and sent me a fine letter. Jim is working in California with Price Waterhouse & Co. as an auditor and is doing some night school work for a Master's in Bus. Ad. June 19 marked a highlight for the Murar family when their '63 Vi model was unveiled in the person of Robert Dale Murar. Al Huck recently made the trek West for job interviews, but so far no word as to where he was finally located. Mike Parish, after being converted into a Navy officer at Newport, has joined the Admiral's staff in Japan. Dave Walsh found that his country wanted him even more than the Chevrolet training program in Seattle, and will spend the next couple years working for Uncle. Carl Jaeger spent his six month stint writing for the Fort Dix newspaper mornings, and playing baseball for the post team afternoons. Sounds good.
Steve Kennedy is making like an officer in the Army's Heavy Armor Division at Fort Knox. It's quite a change from last year when he was on a French Government Assistantship teaching at the Lycée de Garcons Montesquieu in Bordeaux. He was also studying at the University of Bordeaux.
We all wish a very speedy return to health to Don Samuelson. Sam was returned to the U.S. from his Peace Corps assignment in Nigeria for extensive surgery and recuperation on July 17. Latest word from his family indicates that his convalescence has been quite satisfactory. But resumption of his Peace Corps activities is still up in the air.
For the first year your Secretary was spared one of the sadder duties of his office. This month, however, we note with sorrow the death of two classmates, William A.Blees II and Gary A. Sheltren. Bill was killed in an automobile accident on May 24, 1963 in Culpeper, Va., and Gary died in the same way on June 22, 1963 near Pensacola, Fla. In Memoriam notices will appear in a subsequent issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. The Class joins in extending sympathy to the two families in the loss of their son's and our friends.
Secretary, 238 Anderson House, East Quad. Ann Arbor, Mich. 48104
Treasurer, USS Meredith (DD890) Fleet Post Office, New York, N.Y.
