1959

This month's column will be somewhat brief and certainly not as creative as most of my masterpieces because I am behind in everything - I haven't even paid my class dues! Remember, you can't read this great column every month unless you pay your dues. On second thought, perhaps we can make a deal - you all don't pay your dues; I don't have to write the column. But that would be cheating the world - fifty-nines do too many great things that deserve broadcasting.

During my fall travels I ran into a number of fifty-nines. Tom Taggart, who just received his LL.B. from Harvard last June. Charles Tell and Don Davies showed up at an enrollment meeting in Columbus, Ohio, and didn't really look too much older than they did six years ago. Maybe a little relocation of natural resources here and there. I had a chance to see John Marsh after many years when I stopped in Chicago. John is doing well with Merrill Lynch and seems to have preserved his health. He helped me find my way around Chicago after phoning Nancy not to hold dinner. I think he got home a little past, bedtime. I had a great dinner and early evening with Al and SallyBrown in Milwaukee. They have two great daughters and a little guy who could easily play on any Rugby team right now. Brownie works for A. O. Smith with great assistance from a huge computer. I had hoped to see Don Peterson while at the Browns', but it was his night for an evening course. Don recently received his law degree from the University of Wisconsin. Charlie Pinkerton and Nate Oakes made it to an enrollment luncheon in Cleveland a few weeks ago. Charlie makes money selling insurance; Nate invests it at the Society National Bank.

An announcement came several weeks ago of the arrival of a new papoose at the home of Jim and Sally Perry. Lisa Lee Perry was born on August 24. and is now busy teething in the family tepee at Cushing Academy where Jim teaches.

Dave Cohen, currently at NYU Law School, was recently awarded the J. B. Snow Scholarship - one of eight men in the U. S. to win the award. Congratulations, Dave. Fred Webster, assistant Professor of Business Administration at Tuck School, won a Silver Medal in the First Annual Industrial Marketing Research Competition for a study entitled Marketing, Management for Defense Procurement. Now I know why I haven't seen Fred around town. His paper was presented as his doctoral dissertation at Stanford University. Sig. Ginsburg writes that he has left his position as assistant to the president of Hudson Institute and joined the Port of New York Authority as a management analyst. In July he was married to Judith Ann Jacobson in Beaver Falls, Pa. (He says it's the home of Joe Namath. Who's Joe Namath?! One of the jet set?) Sig is scheduled to be a guest speaker at the American Management Association meeting in December. Harvard is still looking to the Big Green for strength. Joe Dare received his M.B.A. down there last June as did Jack McDonough.

Vinnie Sawyer was good enough to send along a great picture of his wedding to Judy Eastburn last February. A whole flock of fifty-nines were present and well captured by the photographer. I'll do my best to get it included - but I haven't had much luck with pictures recently. No other stuff on weddings this time. I hope our manpower reserves are not exhausted.

A few quickies here as a result of the Alumni Office's questionnaire. Bill Christopher is an assistant professor of English at Bradle State College out in South Dakota. Max Fischer is a captain in the Navy living down in Jacksonville, N. C. Don Miller is an assistant surgeon for the U. S. Public Health Service down in Brighton, Mass. Dick Watson was just elected to the executive committee of the Dartmouth Club Officers Association. This committee oversees the over-all operation of the Dartmouth College Club Officers Association. MartyRoeder is a Ph.D. candidate in English at the University of Minnesota. Down in New York City, Charlie Steinhacker is busy watching people with the big eye of his camera. Just what line of photography he is in I don't know. That's about it.

We had a nice Saturday evening with Greg and Sandy Holtliusen a few weeks ago. They are living out in Rivercrest but Greg gets there only about one night in every three. Interns are really on the go. As of now he'll probably go to Detroit or Cleveland to do his residency in surgery.

All you fifty-nine wives - I assume you have talked your husbands into letting you buy a few Christmas cards — put some good news on one of the cards you goof up and send it this way. I'll guarantee you lively reading during coffee break. Happy Holidays.
