1960
When I took over this job, I felt that I would not have to write a gossip column listing details of the endless chain of weddings which are so common in the younger classes. However, I have been amazed at the number of our classmates who have held out so long against matrimonial bliss.
Plans for a March wedding have been announced by the parents of Miss Nan Moffett in Minneapolis. Nan will wed Dennis Patrick Coyle, who is with the New York City law firm of Breed, Abbott and Pawling. Dennis prepared for practice at the Columbia University School of Law. Later this year, Elliott Carr will marry Susan Wheatley, a Mt. Holyoke graduate. Elliott is preparing to support her by attending the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration.
Gary Griffin wed Eileen Stearns on December 2. After a honeymoon trip to Stowe, Vt., the Griffins returned to the University of Connecticut where Eileen is a secretary and Gary is an assistant professor.
Lew Goodman has stepped up the ladder at Cleveland's Capital National Bank from assistant vice president to vice president in charge of marketing and business development. Lew has been with Capital National since 1963, after his graduation from the School of Bank Public Relations and Marketing Association, and reports being involved in fund-raising campaigns for United Appeal, Boy Scouts of America, The Cleveland Plan, and the Jewish Welfare Fund. He and Rhoda have a daughter, Terri Ann.
In my first column I suggested that it would be interesting to get your reaction to what you hear about Dartmouth in your travels. Bruce Clark passed on a note from Don Knapp, who is in his second year of ophthalmology residency at the Veterans Administration Hospital, Richmond, Va. While taking some summer courses at Colby College "in Maine, Don spent a weekend in Hanover, his first visit since graduation. He sat in the Top of the Hop "watching long haired boys and girls cross the Green. The face of Hanover and Dartmouth has changed!"
We reported that Tom Brock was changing jobs to get closer to Dartmouth and his job as co-chairman of our next reunion. He will be in Holyoke, but it appears that his position with F.T. Burkhardt, Inc., fine paper mill agents, will be more than enough to keep him busy. If it isn't, his wedding this month to Dorla Ann Stevens should take top priority anyway.
As you know, Dick Aronsohn has been named assistant prosecutor in Bergen County, N. J. His office is going to be involved with one of the most sensational murder trials in New Jersey court history. F. Lee Bailey will be counsel for the defense of one of the accused.
Bruce Lively has been elected assistant trust officer at the Union New Haven Trust Co. Bruce has been with the bank since 1965 in the area of investment and estate settlement. He lives, in Clinton, Conn. Norris Knosher is also in estate work. As a member of National Life of Vermont's Advanced Underwriting Division, Norris conducted a seminar for the company's agents in Baltimore in December.
Brad Lund lives in Baltimore and was kind enough to drop me a line or two about his activities. If L.B.J, has his way about keeping us all here in the United States, he may put Brad out of business. Aside from being rather unfortunate for Brad that result would set the New Economics back, since Brad is on L.B.J.'s payroll as Employee Development Officer for the U.S. Customs service. He is responsible for all training in the middle Atlantic states. The Lund family which includes three children spent some time over Christmas with Pete"Tank" Herrick and his wife. The Herricks live in Laurel, Md. Pete is with the National Security Agency.
Dana Johnson has made a job change, switching from Fieldcrest Mills to Cone Mills where he will be involved with their consumer products division. Dana and his wife live at 7 Lone Pine Lane, Westport, Conn.
In our round-up of classmates in the academic professions, we missed Jim Blaisdell, who lives in Escanaba, Mich. Jim is in the History Department of a local college there. Also, Paul Goldberg is a Whitney Fellow at M.I.T.'s Sloan School.
Two '60's in New Jersey are in new homes. Lee Terwilliger and family are settling into a new home in the Asbury Park area. Lee is with D. L. Terwilliger Co. in New York City. Their business is printing and lithography. I have been kidding Dr. AllanGreenberg about his new address being quite appropriate for an M.D. It is 1714 Country Club Drive, Cherry Hill, N. J. Allan may have unusual powers, even for a doctor, he tells me that "they are expecting a girl in the spring."
I hope that some of you wives will follow Mike Hollern's wife's lead by dropping me a note about your husband's activities. According to Mike's wife they are living with a house full of kids, foreign students, and pets in Bend, Ore., where Mike is general manager of the Brooks-Scanlon Lumber Co." They are enjoying the convenient skiing and mountain air.
Pete Klaren took some time out from a very busy schedule to write too. Pete and Sara are looking forward to leaving the ranks of students and finally beginning to teach. They both hope to secure a doctorate from U.C.L.A. in June. For the past year and a half Pete has been in Peru analyzing the rise of a political party, the Partido Aprista Peruano. This work was sponsored by a Ford Foundation Foreign Area Fellowship.
Another '60 has distinguished himself in Vietnam. The Silver Star for gallantry has been awarded to Captain David Jablonsky. According to an Army release, although wounded twice in the right arm and once in the leg by Viet Cong machine gun fire, Dave stayed in command of his platoon during a six-hour battle near Saigon. Lying flat on his stomach in deep mud, he directed numerous artillery rounds and set up a tight perimeter defense to hold off the enemy. He left the battlefield only after another company arrived to reinforce the remaining men and after all the seriously wounded were air-lifted out. Dave and his lovely wife, Wiebke, are stationed at Ft. Bragg, N.C.
