1962

Somehow these due dates keep getting closer and closer together - or maybe it's just that your letters are getting farther and farther apart. In any event, although I no longer am presumptuous enough to guarantee an immediate answer, let me hear from some of you who haven't seen your names here for a while. (And it's quite proper for wives to write for busy husbands.)

Word has come from Dave deWilde that he has not run off to some far distant port with our class funds. Out of uniform since July, Dave has begun legal studies at the University of Virginia where he joins a large group of '62s.

Two of our number have been selected as International Fellows at Columbia University. Ken Bailes is a candidate for an M.A. degree in history, while Ed Schumacher is working for his Ph.D. in the Department of Public Law and Government as well as a certificate in the Program of African Studies. Receiving his M.A. in August from the State University of lowa was Harry Skilton.

Carl Funke, who finished his Army hitch in August, has been appointed to the faculty of the Mahar Regional School in Orange, Mass., where he will be teaching English. Another teacher, this time at the college level, is Tom Weaver who is somewhere here on the U of M campus teaching chemistry. Tom, according to sketchy reports, earned his M.A. at Dartmouth.

Joining the ranks of married people were Miss Joan MacPhail, whom I presume to be a sister of Bruce MacPhail, and JohnKnight. Assisting at the June 20 wedding were Carl Jaeger and Gordie Aydelott. Mrs. Knight is a 1964 Smith grad. On June 13 vows were exchanged between Miss Susan Elizabeth Davies and Lt. Bob Barton, USN in Detroit. Mrs. Barton graduated with honors from Wellesley College in June. Bob is in his last two years of active duty and is currently stationed at Newport, R. I. September 12 was the big day when Jim Biggs took Miss Ann Reeves of Southport, Conn., as his wife. Ann is a 1964 Wheaton grad. The couple is living in Southport, not far from Bridgeport where Jim is associated with the People's Savings Bank.

Another Connecticut wedding, this time in Greenwich, was that of Miss Emily Ann Walz and George Billings. George keeps busy with the George Billings Co., a real estate and mortgage loan company, while his Briarcliff '64 makes like a happy housewife. Accompanying her husband to Wharton School of Business this fall was the former Miss Linda Irene Robbins, who on August 17 was married to Dick (John E.)Clark in Hackensack, N. J. The bride comes from Marblehead, Mass., just across the harbor from my hometown, and is a Colby Jr. grad.

Continuing with marriages, we find that Miss Meredith Neely was wed to Robbie Cox on June 13 in the Church of St. "John in Bala-Cynwyd, Pa. Mrs. Cox comes from Merion Station, Pa., by way of Southern Seminary Junior College and the Katharine Gibbs School in New York. Residing in New York City are Mr. and Mrs. MarshPotterton, where Marsh is currently associated with Solomon Bros, and Hutzler. The couple was married in Arlington, Va., on August 15. Mrs. Potterton, the former Miss Katherine Pearce Cunningham of Columbus, Ohio, is a graduate of Charles E. Ellis School for Girls, Newtown Square, Pa., and Laboratory Institute of Merchandising, New York City. Betsey and Ted Mascott are now living in New York City while Ted attends the Columbia Graduate School of Business Administration after two years with WGBHFM, Boston's educational radio station. They were married August 24 in Short Hills, N. J. Betsey got her degree in June from Middlebury. Ushers included Cary Clark,Rick Ellis, Mike Hobbs, and Bill Rivoire.

One of the many newly-married '62 couples to. stop by at Dartmouth during their wedding trip was the Reese family. John and Pat, the former Miss Patricia Mae Emmons of Ridgefield, Conn., passed through the Plain on their way to Quebec after an August 22 wedding. Pat graduated from the University of Bridgeport and is an administrative assistant with Wilson Harrel and Company in Westport, while John is in his third year at Yale Law. June was the month for Miss Barbara Helen Hauser and Bob Scott. Mrs. Scott, of Plainfield, N. J., attended Mary Washington College of the University of Virginia. Bob is associated with the R. E. Scott Co., real estate and mortgage bankers of Elizabeth, N. J.

Second year Rutgers law student GarySchwartz was married to Miss Nona Ann Levine on August 23. The bride, from Metuchen, N. J., graduated from Douglass College and teaches in Woodbridge, N. J.

Another Marblehead, Mass., wedding was that of Miss Elizabeth Pierce Fenn and Gary Spiess, both of that town. Assisting as an usher at the August 29 affair was DaveGundy. The bride, a 1961 graduate of the Walnut Hill School, also attended Connecticut College and Western College. I bumped into Gary in front of the Boston City Hall a few weeks before the wedding while he was running errands for his law firm summer employer. He is finishing his legal studies at Harvard. Married on July 19 were Miss Barbara Carol Marcus of McKeesport, Pa., and Bob Sprafkin, attending graduate school at Columbia University. Barb is an alumna of Bennington College. The final wedding to report this month is that of Miss Patricia Ann Stopkie of Hazlet, N. J., and Dan Whitaker. The bride is a graduate of Plymouth, N. H., State College, and teaches English at the West Lebanon, N. H., Junior High School. Dan graduated from Plymouth magna cum laude in 1963 and was awarded the graduate research grant at the Frank C. Munson Institute of American Maritime History at Mystic Seaport, Conn. He received his master of arts degree at the University of Connecticut and is now chairman of the English department of the Lebanon, N. H., District Schools.

Those weddings took quite a bit of space this month, but we do have space for a few quickies. Russ Hardy is back at Harvard Med finishing his studies there. Dave LaPonsie received his M.A.T. degree from Wesleyan University in June. And Al Cook has entered the School of Social Service Administration at the University of Chicago.
