1965
Greetings! I've received a bundle of mail from many '65's, and fortunately I've also bumped into many classmates in my wanderings over the last month, so I won't bore you with any of my not-so-funny remarks, and I'll get right on to the important news.
Ted Bracken writes that he is pulling up his stakes after two years of teaching and coaching at Mount Hermon, and will be off to eastern Europe this summer. After a summer behind the Iron Curtain (he hopes) Ted will return to the States and will enroll in a doctoral program in education at Columbia. Incidentally, Ted is on the lookout for one or more roommates for next fall in New York City (preferably the Morningside Heights area). If you're interested contact Ted at Mount Hermon School, Mount Hermon, Mass.
I received a long letter from Davis Blaine shortly after Christmas. Blainer is a lieutenant j.g. with the Navy on the West Coast. Dave started his active duty last May after a year at Michigan Business School. He is with the Supply Corps, and after six months of schooling in Athens, Ga., Dave has been assigned to an office job in San Diego. Dave's not all fired up about his job, but neither is he hot to sail too far out into the blue Pacific. One of Dave's frequent drinking buddies on the coast is DannyMorgan, his ex-roomie, who is also with the Navy. Dave will return to Michigan when his hitch is up in 1968.
Bob Quasman dropped me a line saying that he is at Columbia Business School, and is very eager to get out into the warm benevolent world (little does he know that it's cold, and cruel). Bob's candid remark regarding Columbia Business: "It has its Herbies too!" Amidst all the turmoil of Vietnam, Adam Clayton Powell, and Mao, I got a warm feeling of reassurance when I heard that.
Tucky Mays, better known as "Old sun and surf" by the U.S. Navy, has laid claim to the Taiwan tennis championship-no joke! Natch, Tucky, being the pillar of modesty that he is, wouldn't let on about this when he last wrote, but I've got my information from very reliable sources. (I wonder if that trophy is engraved in Chinese?) Tuck is still living it up on the West Coast before he leaves for his second tour of duty in the Pacific.
I was in Hanover in late January, for no other reason but that I enjoy being in Hanover, and I ran into several '65's around town. I'll pass on here what news I picked UP.
Charlie Coe graduates in June and then plans to go on to law school in the fall. Dave Bush has already nabbed himself a slot at Harvard Med for the fall. He receives his BMS from Dartmouth Med in June.
Alvin Martin had revisited Hanover the day before I arrived, and rumor has it that he will be returning to Dartmouth to resume his studies soon. Al left Dartmouth in 1964 and has been painting in London until his recent return to the States.
Word comes from Reading, Mass., that Dick Horton has been teaching in the Greater Boston area this winter. By now Dick is ready to rejoin the Baltimore Orioles baseball chain for his third season of professional ball. Dick has been plagued with injuries over his first two seasons, but he's hoping to escape the injury jinx and to have a big year in '67. Ted Friel, our other pro, has been promoted to AA ball by the St. Louis Cardinals as a reward for his outstanding season at Cedar Rapids last summer. Ted will spend spring training with the parent club.
I ran into Charlie Strauss at the Dartmouth-Columbia basketball game in early January. Charlie is finishing up at Columbia School and sifting through numerous offers from the business world. Continuing my rounds to Big Green athletic events, I bumped into Mr. and Mrs. Mike Messina and Jim Broselow at the Yale-Dartmouth hockey game in New Haven. Mike is doing very well at Yale Law, and Jim was visiting him in respite from his studies at New Jersey School of Medicine.
Wedding bells continue to be the most familiar sound in our class. Latein December Charlie Jennings married Miss Christina Sproul in Glenburn, Pa. Pete Ward and John Ruml served as ushers. Charlie graduated from Tuck in June, and he and Christina are now living in Boston.
I've also received word of Tim Bryant's marriage to Miss Sabine Eva Nuyken. Tim spent two years with the U.S. Army in Korea, and is now back in Hanover completing his senior year.
Others who intend to ring the bells soon are numerous. Bill Duschatko and Miss Rebecca Fulweiler (Smith '67) plan a July 1 wedding. Bill will graduate from Tuck School in June.
Jack Heidbrink and Miss Sue Coon (Colby JC '65 and Wheelock '67) have set a June date. Hydrant is teaching and coaching in the Chicago area.
Another June wedding involves DickWeara and Miss Judith Ann Herstin (Wellesley '67). Dick has received his M.A. from Harvard and is now a doctoral candidate in theoretical physics at Harvard.
Mike Ciborski and Miss Sara Schlotterer (Smith) are engaged and plan an early summer wedding. Mike is at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.
Stu Keiller and Miss Diane Gilmore (Montclair State College) have had their engagement announced. Stu is an ensign aboard the "U.S.S. Muliphen," after having received his MBA from Tuck last June.
Palmer "C.D." Wooglin will marry Miss Susan Fourtee (Goddard '64) sometime late in the summer. Palmer has spent the last few months as Alvin Martin's valet in London. Sue is the bowling coach at Saranac Lake, N. Y., high school. The couple plans to live in Greens Farms, Conn, after their marriage. This wedding will have a special Dartmouth '65 flavor, because Tom Morton will give the bride away.
John Richardson and I are still hoping to hear from more of you regarding the matters I mentioned in last month's column. We welcome all opinions on our proposals.
Best wishes to all for the spring. I imagine that those of you who are single and still in school are planning your annual pilgrimage south - good hunting! Those of you who for reasons of wife, family, or job cannot make the "come on down" move may gain some consolidation out of the fact that besides the girls, the weather, and the booze, sunny Florida is not much more fun than any big college weekend.
See you next month!
