1962
It seems fairly appropriate to be writing the March notes even though it is the first of February, for regardless of the groundhog prediction the cold wave has broken at last. Spring is in the air and pretty soon it will be green everywhere (other than Hanover). With the coming of the thaw the pony express will be reestablishing its mail route to Ann Arbor, and, hopefully, news of 1962 will once again find its way to me so I will have something to pass on to you. Yes, I'm on that kick again; let me hear from some of you, please.
A letter from Ross Burkhardt informs us that he is now settled, for the time being, at Penn where he is working for his master's in education. As part of his work he is carrying half a normal teaching load with seventh grade geography at Strawberry Mansion Junior High. In Philadelphia he lives at International House where we are sure he contributes as much as he benefits, what with his two years' Peace Corps experience in Tunisia. For next fall Ross is planning to teach in his home town of Central Valley, N. Y. Ross mentions that he sees DickBrooks and Tedd Beal from time to time, but that he still feels pretty much out of touch. For those of you in the Philly area who might like to get in touch with Ross, he is living at 140 North 15th Street. (Might be interesting to have Ross tell about some of his experiences at a Dartmouth 'tails party.)
We are beginning to make progress in tracking Dick Bragaw. We have just learned that he is an editorial trainee with the Detroit Free Press.
Bits and pieces: Tom Greene has been one of this year's directors of the Yale moot court competition. Besides the mortgage payments on his newly-purchased house, Al Greenbaum, so rumor has it, will be paying hospital fees this spring for his first child. Lt. Tom Moorman, still serving with the Air Force in Kansas, is planning to keep a bit of Kansas with him for keeps – will be getting married shortly to a Kansas girl.
The new Assistant Lecturer of English Language and Literature at the United College, Chinese University of Hong Kong, is our own Steve Wiener. (For those interested in dropping a line to Steve and Susan, the address is 42 Conduit Rd., #3-B, Hong Kong.) With the Wieners are their two children David, 2½, and Alison Anne, 1. As Steve says, "They are hopelessly evil, malicious, lovable little rascals, and the Chinese may never survive them." Prior to leaving for Hong Kong Steve spent two years getting his MA and teaching English at UCLA. He is currently planning to join the very active Dartmouth Club of Hong Kong.
Married on November 21 were Miss Pamela Jean Dyer and Jack Wyard, both of Peoria, Ill. Mrs. Wyard is a graduate of the University of Illinois College of Dentistry, dental assistant's course. Jack is employed by Cargill, Inc. Living in Hawaii are Mr.and Mrs. Hen Read. The bride, the former Miss Pauline Hannan of Tenafly, N. J., is a graduate of Syracuse University. The December 19 wedding was held in New Jersey.
On December 26 it was the marriage of Lt. Frank James and Miss Jane Dunn of Newport, R. I. Jane is a graduate of the Addison-Gilbert School of Nursing and has been keeping busy at the Framingham Union Hospital while Frank is at sea aboard the USS Hugh Purvis. The final wedding to report this month is that of Miss Mary Hicks and Clem Edgar on January 30. The bride is a senior at Wheaton College.
With Grey Advertising, Inc. of New York since May 1963 is Bob Katz. This past November Bob was promoted to the position of account executive and finds it pretty tough work but very enjoyable. He does find time to see Joan and Steve Geller fairly often. Steve is finishing up his graduate work at Yale's Baker Workshop Drama School and Joan plans on presenting him with a graduation present in June that will take a total of nine months to prepare. We've been hearing some pretty fine things about Steve lately, and as Bob says, "Someday you'll be able to say 'I knew him when....'"
Rit Dojny has finished his hitch with the military and is now a College Division representative with the McGraw-Hill Book Company.
Finally this month, it is with sadness that we pass on to you news of the death of Pete Cooney, on January 28, 1965. More on this can be found in the In Memoriam section in the back of this or the next issue of the MAGAZINE. We heard this past August that Pete was fighting a rough battle with a brain tumor, and this is what finally claimed his life. Our deep sympathy to his widow, Nancy, his small son, David, and his mother and sister.
