Welcome back after the summer! It seems as though we never really were away. I would like to make my usual plea for help on behalf of all the alumni clubs in the various cities in which you may live. These clubs have activities which are worth your time to assist; I know, as Secretary of the Philadelphia Club, I am thoroughly enjoying the enrollment, interviewing, and other work done for the Club. At a Freshman Send-Off Dinner a few weeks ago, I met Bill Subin and we had a good session about our class executive committee and the upcoming reunion. In later columns and through the Newsletter, you will all hear much more about plans for our class, but Bill intends to keep things moving and increase the class activities this year. He, his wife and baby are living in New Jersey while Bill works for a law firm in Atlantic City.
I received a letter from Dave Goodwillie over the summer and this is my first opportunity to pass along his news to you. He tells me Pete Rollins is a First Lieutenant and Platoon Commander in "I" Company, 9th Marines in Da Nang. Lt. Ned Riley is with the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marines and is somewhere in Vietniam having been assigned for an operation in Thailand. Dave is stationed outside of Da Nang although he has been working as an advisor at a camp on the Laotian border for awhile. His unit is the 12th Marines. He says that many alumni are with the Marines in Vietnam and all appreciate the news which we are able to give them in this column and the Newsletter.
Dick Edelson also wrote over the summer that he is engaged to Judy Lando of Phoenix, Ariz., and should be married by the time this column appears. She is a psychologist who did graduate work at Berkeley and graduated from Michigan. Dick graduated from Harvard Med. and has just completed his internship in Chicago. He is one of the lucky ones going- into the Public Health Service for the next few years. He tells me that Mike Rie has also completed his internship in Chicago and will be entering the Public Health Service, too. RonGarren plans to do his residency in medicine at New York hospital and should have gotten under way by now.
I received a news item that Rick Asher has been appointed an instructor in the art department at Lake Forest College in Illinois. Rick received his master's from the University of Chicago and is working for his doctorate there now. He also has been interested in Asian studies and has made a trip to India as part of the Experiment in International Living Group. He currently holds a fellowship from the Committee on Southern Asian Studies; since I dislike passing along merely canned news, I hope Rick will write to let us know of his other activities.
I also received a release from the Burroughs Corporation that Templeman, an Associate Systems Analyst for Burroughs, has been given a new assignment with the Corporation's International Group. He is a marketing methods analyst, a very impressive title and will be based in Detroit. After graduation, Bob was with the Army for two years, joining his company in 1965.
Stu Mahlin sent news also over the summer that he is still with the Mayors and City Managers Association in Cleveland, and has been attending law school at night. As I have reported in earlier columns, Stu was in Philadelphia doing graduate work at Penn and served a year-long internship in state and local governments. Stu's recent bride (married August 28 - congratulations), Julia, is an alumna of Lake Erie College a nd now teaches orchestra in the Cleveland Public School System. Last June they attended the wedding of Carl Wright to Jane Remillerd in Manchester. N. H., and tells me that it was a blast. John Bell was also there and both of them were ushers. John is working with Quaker Oats Company but I do not have word where he and his wife. Carol are living.
Be sure to replenish my supply of news, let me hear from you.
