1960
This fall the executive committee has met twice for the purpose of establishing some longe-range planning for our tenth reunion and to review the results of a very successful alumni fund drive. The second meeting was held at West Springfield, Mass., on the eve of the Dartmouth-Princeton game reunion. Co-chairmen Morgan and Broch reported to the committee on their progress. If their hospitality at this meeting is any example, reunion will be a great success.
Since this column is being written in the wake of Nixon's election, we had better pay tribute to Andrew H. Nighswander while we can. In July, it was announced that Andy had been named assistant to the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, Wilbur Cohen. Andy joined the H.E.W. staff in 1966 after serving as a staff assistant to a Democratic Congressman from New Hampshire.
Ridler W. Page, who has been practicing law in Lebanon, N. H., was recently named chief legal counsel for the New Hampshire chapter of Americans Civil Liberties Union. He and his law partner opened their Lebanon practice in the fall of 1966 after practicing with a Rhode Island firm. Perhaps they can give Andy a hand in getting a job in 1969.
Rog Schaefer just took another step up at the Marine Midland Grace Trust Company in New York. He is now investment officer in the Personal Trust Department. Since he joined the bank as a management trainee after graduation, it has been a steady upward climb for Rog. In 1963 he was assigned to investment management in the Personal Trust Department and was named assistant secretary in 1966 and an assistant investment officer in 1967. He and Carolyn and son Jeff live in Basking Ridge, N. J.
Our Class can be proud of a new citizen, Paula Leavitt, age 5. Paula is the daughter of Captain James S. Leavitt, who is stationed in New Jersey. She was born in Heidelberg, Germany and received her Certificate of Citizenship in Newark, N. J., on June 18.
Tom Alaimo has been appointed general sales manager of the Electro Minerals Division of the Carborundum Company. Tom joined the company in 1962 as a field sales engineer in the Refractories and Electronics Division. He is currently working towards an M.8.A., and lives in Lewiston, N. Y. with his wife and two children.
Another well known '60, Bill Gundy, is doing well in the business world. Bill is a management associate with E.D.P. Resources located in N.Y.C. He lives and works in the Boston area. E.D.P. Resources is a relatively newcomer in the data processing field. It was recently listed on the over the counter market and is doing quite well.
As we watched the Yale game on television, there were a few cracks about Bill's old sidekick, Jake Crouthamel, of 7 Woodmore Drive, Hanover, N. H. Whenever the camera scanned the Dartmouth bench, Jake seemed to be right in the picture. Although they lost, I think Blackman and company can be proud of that game, they were up against one of the toughest Ivy League teams of all time.
It was a real pleasure to hear from DonHall. Although he only attended Dartmouth for one semester, he does try to keep in touch with some of his short term classmates. He recently moved from Phoenix, Ariz., to Estes Park, Colo. He had been in private practice as a consulting psychologist, but he left the Ph.D. behind for the present and joined the real estate firm of Marden-Steffens in Estes Park.
Dave Farnsworth has also been on the move. A new job as assistant principal of Cazenovia Junior High School has resulted in a move from Syracuse to 21 Sullivan Street, Cazenovia, N. Y., for the Farnsworths. They had their first child, Elian Louise, in 1967. Dave says she is full of dynamite and that he trained her to the point where she can eat almost as much ice cream as he does. His new job requires his close attention to student activities, both good and bad. He has had time to keep up with some '60's and reports that Dr. and Mrs. Alex McGinnes are now in Chicago where the famous rock 'n' roll piano player is preparing to become a surgeon. Dave also mentioned that Gary and Barbara Vandeweghe are back from an Air Force hitch in Europe and living in San lose, Calif.
Several other memos have come in about classmates in the field of medicine. Dr.John R. Kirkpatrick is now living in Prairie Village, Kan. and is taking a residency in surgery at Kansas University Medical Center. Dr. Graham A. Rogeness is a resident in psychiatry at the Illinois Research Hospital, Chicago, and Dr. Arthur E. Kopelman at New Haven Hospital, where he is a resident in pediatrics.
Tom Wood got out of the Army in June and is a first year resident in internal medicine at the University of Washington. He plans to eventually practice in Alaska, but his current address is 2220 East Miller St., Seattle, Wash.
Not all of our M.D.'s are on campus. The United States Air Force has "kindly shipped" Phillip B. Serlin, M.D. to Korat, Thailand, to work as an internist in the dispensary. He reports that "since the relative bombing halt of North Vietnam was instituted, the pilots are much more relaxed, but before I got here everyone was pretty tense and the parties to let off steam made our fraternity parties look like Cinderella's ball. The training of doctors here in the Thai Provincial Hospital is mediocre and the hospital according to our standards doesn't hack it with often two patients in one bed. However, most of the people, if they can get through infancy, make middle life easily because food is plentiful, and I have seen no malnutrition - cobra bites, yes, but no one is starving." Phil winds up his letter by saying he looks forward to getting back to New York City to complete a cardiology fellowship and he invites any of us passing through Korat to stop by and join him in a tiger hunt.
Some quick wedding notes. Bruce McLeod married fellow high school teacher, Wilma Layne, last year, and they are now living in Casa Grande, Ariz., where Bruce is teaching mathematics. Peter Digby Scott and Lee Good were married in September. They honeymooned in Greece at about the same time as Mr. and Mrs. Onassis. Mr. and Mrs. Richard D. Baldwin were married in July. Dick and Phyllis live in Montague, Mass., where he is a sculptor. Roger Stephenson announced his engagement to Donna Mae Spicer. He is in sales promotion with Fuller Brush Co.
All of you newlyweds should contact Douglas "Spike" Hamilton at Hamilton Interiors, Inc., 377 Main Street, Greenfield, Mass. The former shoe mogul has moved into the home furnishing business on a grand scale. Word has it that he has purchased Fletcher's entire stock of fine furniture. The rest of Fletcher's stock is being unloaded by Tom Green in New York City.
Looking for a business opportunity? According to Bill Lum, who was in Hanover recently, Tanzi's is for sale. Bill had dinner in Hanover with Eric Anderson, who recently passed the Massachusetts bar exam and is in practice in Boston.
