As you'll see from an adjacent item, BerlBernhard is back in the news again. This time it's for being named as one of the "Ten Outstanding Young Men of 1962" by the U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce. From what I've heard from many sources in the past year, Berl is doing a bang-up job with the Civil Rights Commission.

To the six of us who also have Yale Law School in common with Berl can now be added a seventh, Bob Rugen, who acquired an Eli Law sheepskin this past June. Bob is getting his feet wet in labor relations with Phelps Dodge in New York. Bob's first child, daughter Leah Warren, arrived on the scene in September, a month late.

Dave and Ginny Hilton announce the arrival of number two from Chicagoland. First daughter Linda Jayne, a husky 7 lbs., 5 oz., arrived on November 11. Brother Dave is now three and does a good job on the "Hilton New Year Bulletin," to which I'm certain even "Dear Abby" would give a Good Housekeeping seal of approval.

Mort Briggs has joined the faculty of the University of Colorado as Assistant Professor of the History of Science. Mort, who also holds a Columbia degree, saw destroyer duty with Uncle Sam's Navy before spending some time with Kodak. He is a member of the American Historical Association, the History of Science Society, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science; author of a programmed course in college physics being published by McGrawHill; and a book reviewer for the Library Journal and the American Scientist.

Ed Hazen recently completed his work for a doctorate in biochemistry at Harvard. Ed earned a Master's in agricultural and biological chemistry at UNH in 1957. Since then he has been at Harvard on a teaching fellowship until this past July when he began doing research in coordination chemistry at MIT on a two-year grant from the National Science Foundation.

Don Dahl is with Page Communications Engineers in Washington, D. C., as Assistant Director of Administration. After five years as an Air Force pilot, Don received an M.B.A. from Chicago in 1957. He is married with three children and living in Vienna, Va.

Among the M.D.'s, Howie Pearson reports that he is out of the Navy and has joined the University of Florida College of Medicine faculty as an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics. Terry Fogarty has completed ophthalmology training and is now doing research training in neuro-ophthalmology under National Institutes of Health sponsorship at N.Y.U. Medical Center (Bellevue).

I got a Christmas card from Dave andMary Leslie which shows five shockingly healthy-looking kids, two boys and three girls. Dave has gone with Merrill Lynch ... Smith (you're out of date if you said "Beane"). Dave joined them in June and, after three months training in New York, is now back in Minneapolis.

Lee Miller has laid all those television myths about Wells Fargo to rest. Lee manages the W-F bank on the Matson Line's SS Mariposa, which makes 43-day cruises to Tahiti, New Zealand, Australia, Fiji, Samoa, and Hawaii. Lee left Dartmouth to go to West Point, served in the Air Force, and then graduated from Tuck in 1959.

Dave Sargent is now with H. J. Heinz Co. in Pittsburgh as a Product Manager in the Marketing Division. Franz Yeomans has been promoted and transferred to Kordite Corp.'s home office in the Rochester, N. Y., area.

I wish to close this month's column with an apology and a word of thanks. I have been reliably informed that, contrary to my insinuations in last month's column, AlKarcher was physically present at the Cornell game. I also want to say thanks to Al. We agreed that it would be stupid for both of us to send postcards to all of you who moved; so, having beaten me to the punch, Al occasionally tosses me a bone or bones, which this month make up most of this column.
