1960

With this column I should manage to catch up on the news that accumulated over the summer. Last May, Elliot Carr was elected first assistant treasurer of the Massachusetts Indemnity & Life Insurance Company of Boston, a company which he joined as an investment analyst in 1964. In addition to his Dartmouth degree, Elliot has an M.B.A. from Harvard. Joel Alvord was appointed assistant vice-president at Hartford National Bank and Trust Company. Joel has, in addition to his college degree, a master's from the Tuck School. Ed Daumit sent me a note during the summer envying my life in Boston you should see the weather here, Ed and also reporting that aside from being the secretary of the Dartmouth Club of St. Louis, he is the vice-president of Daumit Stores, Inc., a retail clothing store chain in Missouri, Mississippi, Georgia, and Illinois.

The College News Service reported that Gordon DeWitt had been appointed assistant business manager concerned primarily with new construction at the college and the management of outing properties, such as the Dartmouth Skiway. Gordon has been an assistant to the business manager since 1960. By this time, Blackie Bruner would have joined the Navy after finishing his ophthalmology residency. It probably will cut down on his gliding and power flying, but should keep him a bachelor. Bob Sanders has received an unusual honor in being invited to be a visiting lecturer in palynology at the University of Nottingham, England. It is unusual since lecturers at English universities usually are selected from scholars who have established international reputations and have had considerable experience as teachers. Bob received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Oklahoma in August. Bob is a specialist in stratigraphic Palynology, an area devoted to determining the ages of rocks where fossilized microscopic plants and animals are found.

Kenyon College announced the appointment of Reed Browning as assistant professor of history beginning this fall. Reed has a master's and Ph.D. degree from Yale and studied in Vienna in 1962-63 as a Fulbright Fellow. During the summer, the New England Mutual Life Insurance Company announced the promotion of Ben Parish to senior systems analyst. Ben, wife Barbara, and their two children, live in Wakefield, Mass. Bob Colyer has given up the easy life of teaching and is going back to work at Indiana University and will try to get a Ph.D. Jim D. Graham teaches African and European history at Duke University. He and wife Ginny have one daughter, Carolyn, who already is seven years old. Jim sounded a note too familiar to us when he described himself as "an all-too-typical armchair radical who goes along protesting mildly without power or effect in our society." RogerWolf in August was appointed as the director for the new Legal Services program of the Papago Indian Tribe in Arizona. Previously to this new job, Roger was an attorney with the Department of the Interior in Washington, D. C., and before that served as a lawyer-volunteer in the Peace Corps in La Paz, Bolivia. Dow Chemical Company named W. Burton Lloyd the new product manager of Construction Materials Sales with responsibilities for flashing materials, adhesives, finishes, and developmental products. Bruce Booth has recently joined the DuPont Company at their Experimental Station in Wilmington, Delaware, after receiving a Ph.D. in. Physics from Northwestern University. The Pillsbury Company named Don Belcher as their new marketing manager for potatoes, gravy, pie crust. Coffee Time Mixes, Farina, cornbread, and gingerbread products at the beginning of September. Don has been with Pillsbury since 1964 and has an M.B.A. degree from the Stanford Graduate School of Business.

David Sammons was installed September 24 as the new minister of Cincinnati's St. John's Unitarian Church. He is only the seventh minister in the church's 153-year history. A graduate of Starr King School for the Ministry at Berkeley, Calif., Dave was formerly associate minister of the Rochester (N. Y.) Unitarian Church. He is married and has four children.

Pete Brightman started to teach this fall at the Needham High School after having been at Tabor Academy. Pete has an M.A. in English from Indiana University. The International Data Corporation of Newtonville, Mass., announced that Skip Eveleth had joined the firm as a vice-president for marketing.

Denny Goodman is awaiting State Department assignment after successfully completing Foreign Service Officer examinations. He served in the Army in 1960-61, was with the J. L. Goodman Furniture Company in New Orleans for three years after that, and continued his studies at Western Reserve University and the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, where he received a master's degree.

One of last spring's marriages that I failed to report was that of Mike Heitner to Susan Scribner in New York. Mike is a lawyer with Lowenstein, Pitcher, Hotchkiss & Parr in New York. Seth Moger, also last spring, married Paula Lou Welch. Seth and Paula are living in California. Jay Crane, with the General Electric Company in Schenectady, .N. Y., was married during the summer to Mary Ann Weld. Across the Atlantic, NatWitham married Miss Frauke Schmidt in Wuppertal, Germany. Nat is currently a staff director with the Peace Corps in Santiago, Chile. Which brings me to the latest wedding on record "Barry Levine married Dale Christine Edwards in July." Barry is a resident in orthopedic surgery at Montefiore Hospital in New York, as well as a captain in the U.S. Army Reserve.

Mel and Molly Converse spent much of their summer sailing in the Chesapeake area. Mel is an assistant cashier and assistant manager of a branch of the First and Merchants National Bank in Newport News, Va. He's also a lieutenant in the U.S. Coast Guard Reserve.
