1965
Welcome back from what I hope was a restful and enjoyable summer. Once again, by simply sitting back and watching the 67's pass through the graduation gauntlet, we have gained another notch in Crosby Hall. Just think - in a mere 48 years John Richardson will be giving the fifty year address to the Class of 2015.
Without further ado I will attack the heap of clippings and letters that confront me. That news which doesn't appear in this issue will provide material for the next several months. Judging by the volume of mail I've received, '65 has been a very active group.
As usual most of the activity has centered around the altar. Our marital attrition has been quite remarkable recently. Early summer weddings involved:
Joel Eiserman, now a lieutenant j.g. in the Navy, and Miss Rachel Salter (Boston College of Nursing). Jim Howe, Bill Oberlimk, and Ted Bracken ushed for Joel and Rachel. They'll live in Newport, R. I., where Joel is stationed.
Another sailor, George Wittreich, married Miss Gail Hammond (Wellesley) last May. Witt is an ensign aboard the "USS Beale" out of Norfolk.
John Rogers was also victimized by Cupid early in the summer. He married Miss Beverly Ann Boden (Wheelock) in Falmouth, Mass., and they are now living in Oak Park, Ill.
Jack Heidbrink and Miss Sue Coon (Colby J.C. '65, Wheelock '67) were married on June 17. They are now living in Bedford, Mass., with Sue teaching in Burlington, Mass., and Jack teaching and coaching football at Lexington High School.
Don Bradley married Miss Barbara Hoop (University of California) on the same day in Westwood, Calif. Punch Lochridge was Brad's best man. Don is in his last year at Hastings Law School in San Francisco. Hastings is part of the University of California system.
Other summer wedding activity included Doug Miller's marriage to Miss Heidi Dalzell (Wellesley '66). Doug has finished work on his M.Ed, at the University of Buffalo, and is now teaching in Falls Church, Va. Heidi is with the Department of Labor in Washington. They make their home in Rockville, Md.
Rog Urban and Miss Miriam Grandle were also married this summer in Cincinnati. Rog and Miriam will live in Lausanne, Switzerland, this year while he serves as a research and teaching assistant to one of his Stanford Business School profs at the Institute for Management Development in Lausanne. Rog received his M.B.A. from Stanford in June.
Tom Flechtner and Miss Valerie Raabe (Univ. of Cincinnati) also tied their knot in Cincinnati. They will live in Madison, Wis., while both pursue their doctoral studies at the University of Wisconsin.
Continuing down lovers' lane, Dick Furniss arid Miss Elaine-Jabs were married in June. They now reside in Southington, Conn., and Dick is a securities analyst for Hartford Mutual Life Insurance.
Charlie Moore returned to the old sod, Hanover, to marry Miss Martha Stebbins (Smith '67). Dick Jones and Hal Quaeres were ushers at this one. Charlie and Martha are now living in Ann Arbor where he is doing graduate work at the University of Michigan. Ann Arbor is becoming quite a Dartmouth town. I count at least seven '65's now studying there, and presumably the more recent classes are as well represented.
That's really all the room I can devote to summer weddings in this issue. Apologies to those newlyweds who don't find their names here; I promise to catch up with you later in the fall.
Bob and Marney Komives left for Guatemala in June as Peace Corps volunteers. They underwent three months of language, cultural, and agricultural training at New Mexico State University, and are now conducting resettlement and rural action programs south of the border - way south. Marney is a graduate of Mt. Holyoke. They were married last December in Mountain Lakes, N. J.
Punch Lochridge writes from California that he has secured his M.B.A. from Stanford and is now a It. j.g. on the faculty at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif. Punch teaches accounting, and, of course, is quite pleased that this is the way the Navy wants him to serve his two years. He and Betty are expecting their first about the time you'll be reading this.
Punch mentioned that his graduating class at Stanford Business School included John Bell (now with Esso International in New York), Al Spitzer (IBM in White Plains), Reb Forte (State Street Research and Management in Boston - apparently a real plum of a job), Bob Frohboese (now teaching Operations and Systems Analysis at the University of Utah), Gary Jaffe, Rog Urban, and Jim Frank (National Car Rental).
John Matzke has returned to Hanover this fall, to the delight of Coach Blackman and those of us who knew him when we were in school. John's been getting good pre-season ink in the Boston papers, and doubtless will make his mark on the Ivy gridiron this fall. Regardless of what Big John does on the football field, we're happy to hear he's back at the Big Green.
In a sad note, Dartmouth lost two of its brightest lights this summer, in the passing on of Eddie Jeremiah '30 and Doggie Julian. Though their teams were not frequently victorious in their twilight years, Jerry and Doggie were "winners" in more important ways - character and spirit. Those of us who had the fortune of associating with these two coaches should be proud that we've known the best the games of hockey and basketball can produce.
By the time you'll be reading this '65 will have sponsored its first official function on October 7 in Hanover. Hopefully this will set the trend for smaller similar gatherings in different parts of the country throughout the fall. Now that we're becoming stabilized in terms of residence and careers we can begin to tighten our class lines and form a formidable alumni group.
