1962

Thanks to all of you out there for the Yuletide cards. We enjoyed hearing from you and also got a big chuckle out of the emmet mailman struggling through the snow drifts.

Winter is in full swing and I am spending my hours trying to convince Susan that the shovels are smaller and the driveways larger this year.

Rick Medrick and his wife Carolyn are new Peace Corps Volunteers, having completed thirteen weeks of training at Teachers College of Columbia University. They are among 85 Volunteers trained to expand Peace Corps work in Kenya secondary education and will bring the number of Volunteers in Kenya to 245. Rick and Carolyn studied Swahili, East African history and culture, and world affairs. Their group will teach in the fields of English, history, geography, math and science.

Carl Herbold sent on a letter from Yale Law School telling of his experience in Panama while a Peace Corps volunteer. His work was quite varied as he writes that, "The first year I spent working in a small rural village, principally aiding the establishment of an agricultural co-operative; the second year I worked in Panama City as administrative and executive assistant to the Director of Peace Corps/Panama. On vacations and on my way home I was able to visit the countries of the West Coast of South America, Central America, and Mexico."

Class newsletter editor Bob Katz is looking for some pointers for the newsletter, and welcomes any suggestions you may have. Bob also hinted about the need of an improved alumni drive this year. Guess he wants to go to Jamaica too. It must be the air up here. John Schiffman moved up to good old New Hampshire this fall. He's now located in Lisbon. Another stopover for you skiers.

The anthropology department from the College sent me a copy of their newsletter which contained news of some classmates. Doug Taylor is now marking bluebooks at the U. of Wis. as assistant professor of Drama. After leaving Hanover, Doug picked up his M.F.A. at Yale. Hank Bryant is situated at the University of Chicago studying the sociological development of the French Colonies in Equatorial Africa. (Wonder if that's near Jamaica?) Dave Feingold finished his comprehensives at Yale and has returned to Thailand to work with the Akha tribe. Steve Kimbell and Jack Quinlan have spent just a few hours at sea. Steve is doing oceanographic work and has been occupied in Antarctica and the Chukchi Sea while Jack is now out of the Navy and is doing his M.A. work at Brown. Thanks to the anthropology department. (Does Herb West teach a course there?)

The Alumni Fund drive is just around the corner. Bill Pierce sent on news that he and Bob VanDam met with Carl Palmer in New York discussing the best way to hit Jamaica during the winter. Bill says they'll only use the excess over $10,000 from our class drive. Just between you and me I hope their bar bill wasn't put on our class expense account. Bill said his image was tarnished by the reunion report, but that he was relieved no publication was made on his Harvard and Yale performances.

Dick Hofmann and Steve Martindale took along Joan and Chris to Florida for a week to bask in the Southern sun. From all reports the visit was a good one, but the warmth and sun didn't regenerate that thin scalp, huh Steve?

Jim Page was named a loan officer at the First National Bank of Boston. Jim went to Oxford on a Reynolds Scholarship after leaving Dartmouth and received a diploma in economics. Jim can be located in Wellesley, Mass.

The Bullet's old favorite, Tom Boudreau, is really going great guns. Tom is founder and president of Data Lab, Inc., a Lowell, Mass., corporation specializing in data processing. With Tom's help the first curriculum in the U.S. to be designed for computer education at the high school level has been undertaken at Dracut High School in Lowell Tom's growing firm expects to offer all Lowell businesses computer bookkeeping shortly and will be soon working two fulltime shifts. Real fine there, Tom.

Tom Moorman is a lieutenant in Uncle Sam's Air Force and is now stationed in Vietnam on duty with a U.S. combat Air Force group. Tom works as an intelligence photo radar officer and is assigned to a forward combat base. All of us wish him a speedy and safe return to his home and wife, Barbara.

A new attorney down Jersey way is Gary Schwartz who flew by the bar exam after graduating from Rutgers Law School. Gary is now associated with the firm of Cohen and Cohen in Perth Amboy and is living in Metuchen with wife, Nona and son, Robert. Another budding lawyer, Jay Moyer, spent a pleasant holiday with their two daughters in Shaker Heights, Ohio. Jay is keeping extra busy now that he is a city prosecutor for a neighboring town.

Dr. K. K. Barnes '53M, Clinton Holton'47, and Dave Armstrong '61 gatheredat the Dartmouth-Bowdoin hockey game.

His wife Sudee watches at recent CherryPoint, N. C., ceremonies as Marine Captain Beeb Hering '63 is awarded the NavyCommendation medal with combat "V"for his performance under fire in Vietnam.
