1957
The long, hot summer is approaching, and at the same time the class is blazing the last part of that trail which is leading up to another '57 Alumni Fund record. Head Agent, Joe Stevenson, and his hardy crew taskmasters are lining their sights on those of you who have been procrastinating. With the final countdown at hand, it's time to light the fires, jump on the bandwagon and make the '57 contribution to the 1964 A.F. one to remember. Believe me, we have a reputation to maintain - an excellent one.
From Wilmington, Del., comes news that Tom Herlihy has been promoted to the position of Chief Deputy Attorney General. Included in Tom's new set of responsibilities will be his "required" attendance at a conference in Hawaii this month; thus, all '57 Honolulu residents are now alerted to the arrival of the visiting fireman from Delaware. On the domestic front, Tom and wife Connie have one offspring, five-month-old Glenn.
Steve Lampl recently was featured in a Cleveland newspaper feature column which related Steve's role as president of "booming" Lampl Fashions, Inc. Steve has been at the helm of the family garment firm for six years. For all of you with fashion-conscious wives (and what one isn't?), I'm sure that Steve could give your spouses some expert advice on the styles for 1965.
The U.S. Foreign Service has announced that Carl Schmidt has been promoted to Foreign Service Officer, Class Six. Carl is stationed in Vienna, Austria where he is the assistant to the Commercial Attache at the American Embassy. Carl and his wife Rika have been living in Vienna since July, 1962, when Carl was assigned to his first Foreign Service post.
Will Brooks will be Russia-bound in August because of a fellowship for a year of study at the University of Moscow which he was granted. Will is one of 31 graduate students and nine faculty members from 38 universities taking part in the exchange program with the U.S.S.R. The exchange is being administered by the Inter-University Committee on Travel Grants. Prior to departure, Will will spend two months at the University of Indiana studying for the fellowship.
Walter Burgin's summer will be spent at Cornell University where he will be taking advantage of a Shell Merit Fellowship which was awarded him this spring. Walt is one of 100 outstanding high school and mathematics teachers from the U.S. and Canada selected to attend the 1964 graduate level seminars at Stanford and Cornell Universities. After completing advanced studies this summer, Walt and his family - Barbara and two daughters - will establish their new residence in Exeter, N. H., where he has accepted a position at Phillips Exeter Academy. Walt's academic association formerly was with Mercersburg Academy where he was chairman of the mathematics department.
"Man on the move" certainly describes Larry Gardner who now resides in Littleton, N. H. Larry was recently named "Young Man of the Year" by the Littleton Junior Chamber of Commerce. His first loyalty, of course, is to the law firm of Dodge and Moulton where he is an associate. Larry's extracurricular activities must not allow for leisure time because he is a member of a number of key organizations in Littleton. Among these activities, Larry is a director of the Littleton Community Center, has been chairman of the Boy Scout and Red Cross drives, and is a former member of the Littleton School Board. Businesswise, he is a director of the Littleton National Bank, Littleton Cooperative Bank and the Grafton Bar Association. If any of you happen to be going through Littleton this summer, I'm sure you'll have no trouble locating Larry.
THE SOUND OF MUSIC: Joining the ranks of the newlyweds is Bill Allison who joined forces with Irene Carrigan in April. After the honeymoon, Bill and Irene returned to Cambridge, England, where Bill holds a post-doctoral research fellowship at Cambridge University. Bill's bride is a graduate of Burdett College.
Pete Donald became a bridegroom in April when he was married to Donna Martinson of Tomahawk, Wis. The newlyweds now reside in Douglas, Ariz., where Pete is employed as a geologist with the Exploration Department of Phelps Dodge Corporation.
Another free-wheeling bachelor, DonWhite, lost his "independence" in April when he married Linda Rollins at Wellesley Hills, Mass. Linda is a 1963 graduate of Hood College. Classmate Dick Burch was an usher at the ceremony and also assisted in the champagne consumption. The bride and groom have settled in Cambridge, Mass.
A summer wedding is being planned for Mai Clarke and Kathryn Heiss who became engaged this spring. Mai currently is associated with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith in New York. BREVITS: Randy Nord is a staff engineer with Kurt Salmon Associates of Washington, D. C. The Tom Watt family announced the arrival of a bouncing boy, Sherman Alexander in March. The boy truly is a native son having been born at the Mary Hitchcock Hospital in Hanover. Jim Tankersley is an assistant resident physician in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Washington in Seattle.
And with that, I bid you adieu 'til September. For any of you trying to escape the summer heat, why not try a visit to air-conditioned San Francisco, where I can guarantee there will be an official '57 welcoming committee.
