1966
Season's greetings to all sixty-sixers and dependents and our most sincere wishes for a healthy and prosperous New Year.
With each succeeding weekend, it seems, crafty classmates are arranging for much-needed tax deductions, and it's our pleasure to be the first to inform the IRS for them.
Jim Byers and Donna Aher of Lebanon, N. H., were married on June 15 in the North Country and celebrated, as they had other happy occasions, at Landers. Joining the couple were Bill Roberts, Larry Goss, and Corky Spehrley. Donna graduated from Mt. Saint Mary College in Hooksett, N. H., and received her Master of Accounting degree from Ohio State. She's now putting Jim through his third year at OSU Med School by working for Peat, Marwick, Mitchell in Columbus.
Some guys never have enough. After plowing through the tough two-year Thayer School engineering program to earn his Master's, Tom Brady went right to the University of Michigan, lowered his shoulder slightly, and started to trudge towards a Ph.D. in materials handling. He picked up some help, however, in the person of Smith '68 grad Betsy Carson, who joined the team on June 22 in Toledo, Ohio. Looking on were classmates and old roommates PhilLepanto and Bill Koelsch.

In East Warwick, R. I., on August 23, Dave Patrick, a third year student at the University of Pittsburgh Med School, and Beverly Tarbell, a Skidmore graduate about to embark on a teaching career in Pitts-burgh, were married. Charles Tomlinson was best man at the affair, and then Chip returned to Philadelphia to start his third year at the Jefferson Medical School in company with Jim Nutt, Steve Abram, and Jack Perry.
Aspiring doctors seem to require the presence of well-educated elementary school teachers to help them through the final years of instruction. Third-year Harvard Med student Richard Kaiser enlisted the services of Raina Debra Fink in a Millburn, N. J., ceremony on August 24. Raina, a University of Massachusetts graduate, is teaching in the Winthrop, Mass., school system.
Ensign Randy Adams, currently stationed in Guam, will be joined on that remote and historic isle by Peggy Montgomery, his wife since Sept. 1 in Elizabethtown, Ky. Peggy will graduate from Duke University in January, and then shove off to boost Navy morale in the Pacific. Wally Buschmann and Jack Brister represented the Class at the wedding.
Many of our classmates remain in the greater Hanover area to continue educational pursuits, but few enter the commercial world of the Upper Valley. After marrying Miriam Bauer, a Boston University alumna, on September 14 in Paramus, N. J., Bill Malcolm became a sales representative for the Hawk Mountain Corporation and is living in Norwich, Vt. One of Bill's former roommates, Bill Bailey, was on hand for the cake and pictures, and then returned to academic interests at the University of Chicago.

Peace Corpsers still are in the news. TedAmaral hopes to make it back from Kabul, Afghanistan, in time for his April altar date with Wheelock College senior Carol Henderson. Andy MacCormaek did return, in spite of the fact that his PC stint in Biafra, East Nigeria, was marred by the Nigerian civil war and a 24-hour-notice evacuation he and 500 others were forced to make on a dingy freighter to neighboring Ghana. After a few months back in the States Andy upped and did it again, this time on a one-year extension directly to Ghana.
All '66's with high-school-age brothers take note - Stephen Rugg has been appointed assistant to the director of admissions . . . . From the world of magnetic tape and punch comes word that John Hargraves has been promoted to senior programmer in the systems development group of the casualty-property department at The Travelers in Hartford. .. . And to add the proper touch of balance, Bob Stewart has been laboring for the U.S. Department of Interior - in Outdoor Recreation Management.
Among your New Year's resolutions, somewhere down on the list, include one which reads, "I will brag just once this year - with a letter to Larry." Thanks, I enjoy seeing my name on lists.
