1960
Getting back to this column is actually a welcome relief from trying to balance a vacation-wrecked checkbook. There was a time when most of us worked for a couple of months and then lived like kings for ten months, now we work all year and try to find peace in two weeks. There is a lesson there somewhere. Part of my travels this summer took me to San Francisco for one of those life insurance agents' conventions where we learn how to keep one foot in the door more effectively. Bill Hadley was there, too. Bill is located in Columbus, Ohio, where he is an agent for the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company. He divides his time between selling and training a group of new agents.
San Francisco is quite a Dartmouth '60 town. There are fifteen or twenty of our classmates there. Chris McLellan and I had dinner while I was out there. Chris was in the process of moving his family to San Francisco where he will be in institutional sales for White Weld & Co.
Earlier in the summer. Lois and I attended Rey Moulton's wedding to Bessie Smith in Marblehead, Mass. Bessie is a graduate of the University of Maine. Rey took a three-month leave of absence from his job for an extended European honeymoon.
There were several other Dartmouth '60 weddings this summer. Saul Baernstein wed Madeleine Roth, who is an artist, an arts columnist and lecturer on art and art history. They will be making their home in Washington, D. C. Susan Wheatley became the bride of Elliott Carr on July 6 in Massachusetts. Elliott is the treasurer of the Massachusetts Indemnity and Life Insurance Company.
The wedding with the largest Dartmouth attendance was that of Jack Patterson and Lynne Waring on June 15 in Madison, Conn. Tom Beadle and his wife, Carol, came up from North Carolina to stand by Jack. Al Stowe reported that Win Robinson,Tom Brock, Dick Chase, Don Sheffield, TomEthinger, and Jack Hodgson were also there. Larry Gazley devised a unique method of writing off his trip from Birmingham, Mich., to the wedding as a business expense. Larry's wife could not understand why he would lean out of the window of their car as they drove through certain towns on their way East and yell "Hi there, Jack Perkins" or "How's it going, Charlie." When she asked him to explain his behavior, he told her that he was calling on customers.
Bob Messner has moved over from a Pittsburgh law firm to the legal department of G. C. Murphy & Co. in McKeesport. Pa. He and Anne are now living at 1061 Blackridge Road in Pittsburgh. Eric Anderson is going the other direction. Eric is now practicing law with the firm of Spencer & Stone in Boston.
Our smoothly working team of assistant class agents gave our Head Agent, SethStrickland, so much confidence that he was able to join Lee's fleas at the U.S. Open. At about that same time Dick Ossen, TomKirby, Craig Jameson, Mike Heitner, DickPrior, and Borden Powers formed a telephone team in N.Y.C. and talked to over 130 sixties about the Alumni Fund! Congratulations to them and to all of the others who worked so hard with Seth and BobBoye to bring about another successful drive.
The telephone team produced a lot of info which I will try to give you in capsule form. Tom Wahman recently moved to the 56th floor of the R.C.A. Building, where he will be working with The Rockefeller Institute. Barry Sibson is with Turner Construction Company in Philadelphia. Mitch andJennifer Engle have moved to Matawan, N. J. He is co-piloting for American Airlines. Reverend Dave and Eloise Chevier have their own parish in Saxtons River, Vt. Their proud news is a new daughter, Suzanne.

HerbMaurer, M.D., is due home soon from a year's duty in Viet Nam. He and Sandy will keep their residence on Woodmore Road in Hanover, as he continues his residency at Mary Hitchcock. Dr. Dale Boyse is just taking his family into the Navy. He has completed his residency in radiology and will be stationed in Memphis. Richard H.

Dick was among 491 financial analysts who received the designation this past year as the result of completing a course of study and passing a series of examinations in investment principles, applied security analysis and investment management decision-making.

Steve Lattimore also was the recipient of a professional degree. He received his Ph.D. in Classical Archaeology from Princeton.
We received a lot of good letters this summer. I will refer to all of them in subsequent columns. Please keep me up to date with your travels. One of the most happy notes we received was from Fran and Pete Herrick. The Herricks were joined at their home in Laurel, Md., by their first child, Catherine Marie.
