1965
Having suryived the Winter Olympics, the NFL-AFL common draft, an underground movement to put Ed Wynot on the New Hampshire primary ballot, and another Carnival, it's a great pleasure to once again bring you news of the adventures of '65 in living black and white.
Exeter has been the crossroads of some '65 paths recently. Not long ago Jack Herney was in town, and I'm hopeful that he'll be taking up permanent residence here next fall. Jack is now teaching history at Wilbraham Academy in western Massachusetts, but we're doing our best to lure him to our academic community. He had some good stories to relate about Psi U's annual New Year's bash in Hanover.
Not long after Jack departed Brad Hills made our scene, with his tongue hanging out from having followed presidential hopeful George Romney all over New Hampshire. We saw Brad in the evening, and he had been on his "beat" since 5:30 A.M. that day. He's been with UPI in Concord, N.H. since the fall. Wedding bells will ring for him in June.
Speaking of wedding bells, they continue to be '65's favorite noise.
Jens Sorensen picked December 29 to marry Miss Doris McCarthy (Goucher) of New Shorebam, R.I. They're back on the west coast now where Jens is doing graduate work in landscape architecture at the University of California.
Rex Roberts is finishing up at Vanderbjlt Law this spring. He and his wife, Karen, will stay in Nashville after he gets his J.D. degree in June, and he'll be with the National Life and Accident Insurance Co.
Mike Lewis has found his calling on foreign shores. He's with the U.S. Information Service in Bangkok, and wanted me to issue an open invitation on his behalf to any '65's who might be in Thailand on R and R leave from Viet Nam, or for any other reason.
The talk of the Univ. of Miami Law School is Bob Eckert. He was first in his class last year, and is now assistant editor of the Miami Law Review.
I bumped into Dick Horton at the Harvard-Dartmouth ball game in Cambridge in mid-January, and he looks healthy as a bull. Dick is attending B.U. Business School, and is looking forward to another season in the Baltimore Orioles minor league chain.
Incidentally that night Dick and I watched the Big Green beat Harvard — a win that gave Dave Gavitt '59 and his troops two successive Ivy league victories - that hasn't happened to Dartmouth in a long time. Gav really has his young club fired up, and I think it's the start of a lively new basketball tradition in Hanover. Bob Swett and Bill Reilly, both '66's, joined us in the gallery that night.
We got a valentine from Grenoble signed by Palmer C.D. Wooglin. He's been over there viewing the Olympic Winter Games, and he even had a stint on a bobsled sponsored by Chuck's Bar of Saranac Lake. Palmer has just signed a three-year contract as the NBC Peacock.
Pete and Suzanne Kilham are both Ph.D. candidates in zoology at Duke. They were married last September 4, and had WaltBrummond as their best man. Pete says that about 15% of the graduate students in zoology, botany, and forestry at Duke are Big Greeners.
John Moyers writes that he is an assistant football coach and an admissions officer at Wartburg College (Waverly, Iowa), his alma mater ('66). John is looking forward to attending the London School of Economics next fall.
Norm Pfortmiller expects to graduate from the University of Detroit Dental School in 1970. He's married to the former Miss Carolyn Hodgkins (Cazenovia College).
Leo Burnett Advertising Inc. has managed to corral the talents of DeWitt Jones on the west coast. While he does commercials for Burnett, DeWitt is also working on his thesis, which is the only thing that stands between him and his M.A. from U.C.L.A. He's also busy trying to get a movie of the Ledyard Canoe trip through Japan on national television.
Jack Corneveaux is a college field rep with Prentice-Hall, after receiving his M.A. in zoology from the University of Arizona last June.
According to his questionnaire PaulPickrel is riding the waves in the Gulf of Tonkin aboard the "U.S S. Wiltsie." He had been at the Univ. of Illinois Law School before signing on with the Navy. His wife Suzanne (Colo. Univ.) and ten-month-old son William Glenn await him at home.
Also in Navy blue is Steve Fuller. He's a pilot stationed in Viet Nam. His wife is the former Karen Pogson (Mary Hitchcock).
Howie Mueller and his wife Mary Lee (Univ. of Kentucky '66) are living in Middletown, Ohio, and he is working for Armco Steel Co. Howie is also studying chemistry at the Univ. of Cincinnati to supplement his year of grad work at the Univ. of Kentucky.
Wah Wah Walsh has been surrounded by Miss Margaret Billings (Colby J. C., & Southern Connecticut '68), and he'll go down for the count sometime this summer.
Two who have already bitten the dust are Howie Myers and Sandy Hermes. Howie married Miss Jo Ann Hess in December. They're living in NYC while he completes his law studies at Columbia. Sandy was the victim of Miss Mary Holmes of Chappaqua, N. Y. They were married there on December 22. He's just finished his military stint, and is now at Wharton Grad School of Finance at UPenn.
John and Ann King just welcomed their first, John Patrick, on January 6. Big John is with the Navy, and is currently serving aboard the "U.S.S. Deliverer" off the Vietnamese coast.
I hope that those of you who haven't already will try to complete your questionnaires and get them to me soon. Those that have come in have been a great help, and have enabled us to keep better tabs on the whole class.
Meanwhile, keep all those cards and letters coming. Linda and I, we sure want to thank that alumnus in Etna Corners who had a pair of Ed Keible's sweatsocks bronzed and sent them to us to start a '65 Hall of Fame.
Also coming up is the 1968 Alumni Fund drive, with our part again being organized by Tim McLaughlin. If you read this mag faithfully and thoroughly, you should have some feeling for the constant excitement that is being generated on the Dartmouth campus. Think of our great days in Hanover when you reach into your wallet to answer the Fund call. Then think to the future and dig a little deeper. The Big Green needs and deserves our support.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
A warm-up dinner before DartmouthOpen House at a local high school wasattended by this Atlanta group, (l to r)Charlie Giersch '62, Frank Finsthwait'63, Hop and Pam Potter '64, and KeithLatimore '61.
