1965
Hi again! I've still got a bundle of news from the summer months and a few notes on more recent happenings, so I'll get right down to business.
Weddings continue to be the biggest (or at least the most prevalent) news that our class can produce. This is a summary of the summer weddings that I have been notified of up through September.
On June 25 Paul Sowa married Miss Joan Sowa (UMass '65) in their hometown of Chicopee, Mass. Paul received his bachelor's degree in engineering from Thayer School in June. Joan is a teacher at Chicopee High School.
On July 9 Richard Voss took Miss Elizabeth Marks (Wheelock '66) as his bride in Troy, N. Y. Dick, who graduated from Dartmouth in June, has been awarded a U. S. Public Health Service Fellowship to study for his doctorate in psychology at the George Peabody College for Teachers in Nashville, Tenn. His bride will teach in the Nashville school system.
Reb Forte and Miss Patricia Stivers were married in Modesto, Calif., on Aug. 13. Pat is a San Jose State College graduate and teaches in Mt. View, Calif. Reb is in his second year at Stanford University School of Business.
Bob Busch took the big step (and for him it was a big step) on Aug. 19 when he married Miss Barbara Grissom in Fort Collins, Colo. Barb is a teacher in the Denver school system and Buscher is in his second year at Denver University Law School.
Jim Hamilton made his. move on Aug. 27 when he married Miss Laurie Goodwin (Univ. of Rhode Island) in Plymouth, Mass. Cam Savage and Jim Aiken were ushers at the wedding. Jim and Laurie will live in Plymouth while he completes his Master's studies at Southeastern Massachusetts Technological Institute.
Labor Day may close summer, but it sure doesn't call a halt to Big Green weddings. The trend continued into September. On Sept. 5 Dune Burke and Miss Katherine McMillan were wed in Noroton, Conn. Dune is in his final year at Columbia Business School.
Sept. 17 saw a lot of marital action on the Hanover scene. At the White Church BobOwens was married to Miss Martie Ives (Mt. Holyoke '66).
Meanwhile at the Aquinas House a ceremony was taking place over which there must have been weeping and the gnashing of teeth in Sarasota Springs, South Hadley, and New London - Ed "Fast Eddy" Keible was married to Miss Tina Biggs (Colby J.C. '65). I was personal witness to this one. Tom Morton and Bill Affolter were ushers for the affair and Jon Greene was official photographer. (He also filled many unofficial roles later in the day.) The guest line-up included Iggy and Jeanne Knox, all the way from Minneapolis, the rowdy Harry Crosswell, BoAndersen, who incidentally has recently been appointed lightweight crew coach at Harvard, Jack Herney, fresh out of Harvard School of Education and headed for Wilbraham, and Bob McConnaughey. Ed and Tina will live in Sachem while Ed continues his Master's studies at Thayer School.
Babies are also beginning to make news (and noise) in our class, and I'll admit that this is an area in which I'm very deficient. On June 2 Tom and Carol Morton welcomed Cheryl Ann Morton to their Sachem dwelling. She's a good looker, I'll attest to that, and someday she'll make some Dartmouth '88 very happy.
Pete and Sue Coker wrote me on the birth of their first, Dina Harris. Sue lounged contentedly through my week-long visit to the Cokers' Camp Olympic basketball camp Aug. 14-20, and then celebrated my departure by having Dina on Aug. 22.
I can't come up with a name on this one, but I do know that Jack and Mary SuzanneMac Donald had a baby sometime in August. Jack is in his second year at Dartmouth Med. The MacDonalds, along with the Mortons and the Lu Kraszewskis, are living in the new Sachem South recently completed southwest of old Sachem. Lu Kraszewski incidentally is back at Dartmouth after a three-year absence and he returns with a lovely wife, Nancy, and a sixteen-month-old boy, Robby.
Second Lieutenant Bob Wooster of Wilbraham, Mass., has been awarded U.S. Air Force Silver Pilot Wings upon graduation at Craig Air Force Base in Alabama. Bob was commissioned at Dartmouth and was cited for his "ability, initiative, and leadership qualities as a Distinguished Air Force ROTC Cadet." He participated in the Experiment in International Living in France in 1963. He will also be remembered as DKE's rush chairman and a participant in intercollegiate lacrosse and skiing.
My summer travels took me through Chicago (more accurately through O'Hare airport - I never did get to enjoy Chitown). At O'Hare I ran into Jake Miller, my old roomie, who was carrying all the worldly possessions the U. S. Army would allow him (a toilet kit) and was waiting for a flight to Fort Jackson, S. C., for Army boot camp and then OCS. Jake spent a year at Northwestern Business School, where he was a dean's list student, before enlisting.
Also while in the Chicago area I managed to get some news about Jack Heidbrink and Tom Barnett. Jack is teaching and coaching football at Notre Dame High School in the Chicago area, after getting his M.A.T. degree from Wisconsin. Barnes has transferred from Santa Clara Law School to Northwestern Law School. (After that topless article in Playboy why would anyone vacate the San Francisco area, Tom?)
Word comes from Palmer "C. D." Wooglin that he is an agent (spy, if you will) with AID (Arabian Intelligence Dept.) posing as a taster in a Tel Aviv bagel factory. He writes that the warm Mediterranean weather, and the bagels, may keep him in that part of the world for a long time.
I've received word on the whereabouts and activities of Harris Saxon. Sax spent the summer with the Climax Molybdenum Co. as a geologist at the Urad Mine in Empire, Colo. He is now at Stanford studying for his Master's degree in geology. Enclosed in Sax's letter was a great picture of Harris and Suzi Saxon and Mr. and Mrs. Jim Danielson breaking their clay pipes at the Old Pine when Jim and Sax graduated last March. Said Sax: " 'Lest the old traditions fail,' Jim and I thought we ought to break our clay pipes over the old stump to make our graduation official. So we (Jim and I and our two wives) waded through about a foot of snow to do our duty. Since our wives helped us get through college they also had small clay pipes to break over the stump."
PFC Dick Thornley writes that he is with the Army in Heilbronn, Germany - "far from being the paradise that students imagine Europe to be." Uncle Sam trained Dick as a cook, and then assigned him to the 237th Engineer Battalion as a personnel clerk.
Finally, and sadly, it is my unenviable duty to report the death of a warm and close friend of many of us. Ensign Don Macauley was killed in a motorcycle accident in Pensacola, Fla., in late August. Mac's In Memoriam piece, written by Larry Duffy, appears in this or a subsequent issue. Please keep Don in your prayers. See you next month!
The Harris Saxons and the Jim Danielsons, both '65, had their own Class Dayat the Old Pine last March, occasionedby Jim and Sax's graduation. This wastheir official end to Big Green days.
