1963
I'd like to remind everyone that letters are the stuff out of which this column is made - so write!!
News from several Philadelphia area 63's - Mickey Clements, at Jeff Med School and doing very well, keeps bumping into my law school classmates at parties; seems that there's time for that, too, at med school. I heard that George Hellick, with wife and two children, are up in Easton, Pa., working with the Dixie Cup Company. I'd appreciate confirmation from George. Otherwise John Howland expects to be with a bank in New York - unless something unexpected interferes. Enough said on that subject. SteveLippman apparently likes the life of a student and was last seen with a Stanford Business School catalog and application under his arm. Why not? After an LL.B. and an M.B.A., Steve will be ready to go after an M.D.
It seems that Bob Templeman is out of the army and into the Burroughs Corp. as a systems analyst. He's working in Rochester, N. Y. Stu Mahlin, after receiving his Master's degree from the Fels Institute of Local and State Government here at Penn, returned with wife Julie to Cleveland and has just been named temporary occupant of the Fairview Park safety-service director's chair. I don't know how permanent this post is, but it does seem to tie in with Stu's interest in urban affairs and local government. He had been working as a research assistant to the executive secretary of the mayor's and city manager's group in Cleveland. Stu and Julie are living in Shaker Heights. Joe Casey, up in Maine at the University of Maine studying for a Ph.D. in American History, found those northern winters too cold to bear alone so he's become engaged to Judith Kelley of Waterville. She's a junior at Colby College. Another engagement - Ken Siedler to Karen Gunzinger of Brattleboro, Vt., and Green Mountain. Ken's with IBM in Hartford. No work on when the wedding is.
Many more engagements: Chuck Wessendorf and Kathleen Durham. It will be a real Army merger with the wedding in the Chapel of Fort Monroe, Va., where Kathleen's parents are stationed. Her father is a colonel at Fort Monroe; Chuck's at Fort Lee on the faculty of the Quartermaster School - finally the Army used someone's training — Chuck has a Master's from Tuck School. By the time this column hits the stands, Chuck should be a married man. Ken Torgerson plans an autumn wedding to Eugenie McMahon of Shaker Heights. She's a senior at Northwestern; Ken will graduate this year from Northwestern Law School. I understand that Steve Marx and wife Marcy are parents - a daughter in Cordova, Alaska. Cordova, Alaska?? What are you doing up there?
Meanwhile: Larry Chapman and Nicole Cataford are engaged; she is a Canadian now working in San Francisco; Larry is an Air Force Lieutenant stationed in Sacramento with a navigator-bombardier group. Steve Francis, with First City National in New York, plans a spring wedding to Victoria Simons, a Holyoke alumna and on the staff of Glamour Magazine. In December, Joe Shannon and Carol Kaiser announced their engagement. Joe is with a stock brokerage firm in New York, Carol works in real estate - a good merger. After Hanover, I think Joe went on to University of Virginia Business School. I hear that Ford Hutchinson is engaged also . . . but I know little more than that his fiancee is Patricia Jane Foster, a Hollins College graduate. If either of the two parties concerned can fill us in on more of the details, I'd appreciate it. Another engagement that will be a wedding announcement by the time this column is published is Mark Colby's. He and Judith Hudson, an alumna of Mount Holyoke from Beachwood, Ohio, were married in February. Mark attended the Language School in Monterey, Calif., then went with Army Intelligence after Dartmouth. He's now attending UMass.
Another banker, Bruce Nichols is engaged to Penwell-Ann Clark, a Green Mountain graduate now with NBC. Bruce is in New York with Bankers Trust Company; they plan a June wedding. A December wedding saw Bob Kendall and Lily Rice married. Bill Bates, Rick Bowes, and Chris Wiedenmayer were among the ushers. The couple are somewhere up in Boston now — if you have a picture of that Dartmouth group, send it along and we'll try to get it in the MAGAZINE.
One last note for this month: Ash Hartwell was the subject of a feature story in his hometown Phoenix newspaper. I'd like to pass on some of the information contained in that story. Ash is working as a teaching intern whose work became the model for the National Teacher Corps, established by Congressional act recently. He's teaching in Washington, D. C., which probably isn't too much different from his environment while a Peace Corpsman in Ethiopia. He's going far beyond teaching, however, and has become intimately involved with the community and private lives of his pupils. The District of Columbia is notorious for its low economic and culturally deprived areas; Ash is trying to do something about remedying these overwhelming problems. I'll try to keep everyone informed about his progress.
Among the guests for the wedding of Richie Payne '64 and Susanne Rosenblum ofWorcester, Mass., were (front, l to r) Louis Payne '29 (father of the groom), thegroom, Barry Linsky '63, Larry Cruder '63; (rear) Jerome Putnam '65, Dan Relies'64, Bill Thomlinson '64, Billy Segel '64, and Fred Spitz, also '64.
