1966

Bob Booms has been pretty busy. Recently he was elected president of the student body at the University of Denver College of Law. He is also campaign chairman for incumbent Republican Denver State Senator John Bermingham for the coming elections. Then, too, he is a full-time employee of the Denver-based Gates Rubber Company as legislative and international tax analyst. And, as an afterthought, Bob reports the birth of his first son, Eric Christiaan, on April 12.

He sounds like the Carl Yastrzemski on the Rockies - doing everything but selling tickets.

One of the more senior members of the Class is also keeping on his toes. Navy ROTC career petty officer Arthur Lewis retired after 20 years in the Navy last March. Chief Lewis arrived in Hanover in 1963 as an instructor of Naval sciences, and soon did more listening as a student than lecturing as a professor. He is now completing his thesis for his M.A. in Government, and is considering employment offers from the USIA, the Ford Foundation, the Peace Corps, and Yale Graduate School.

There's another law school president amongst us. The Board of Governors of the Student Bar Association at Fordham University School of Law elected John LaSalle president of the Association in March. John, an Army Reserve Lt., works in the legal department of American Express Company and is president of the second-year class as well.

Laddie Jeffers provided us with a recent progress report. Laddie left Hanover in 1964 and became a stockbroker in New York. After stints with Walston and Co. and Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette he moved to Havenfield Corporation, a one-year-old outfit specializing in financial consulting and brokerage services. He's also back at NYU night school working toward the degree. Laddie spotted Steve Tosi, at Cornell Med School, on his nightly job from the Street to the classroom.

Bill Koelsch is in Houston, Texas, and can usually be found providing "real time" or "Operational" support in the Flight Dynamics Staff Support Room at the Mission Control Center during the unmanned launches of the Command Module, the first shots on a Saturn 5 rocket. That means he's working for TRW Systems group. To prove it Bill sent along a memo he wrote as an "Apollo Guidance Computer Specialist." When my clearance comes through I'll open it and pass on the good word.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Spehrley, in West Lebanon, welcomed Kristen Wetherill into our '66 Society on March 18. Best to mother and daughter.

Advance word on a flock of June and summer weddings. Paul Babcock, working at the Lying-in Division of the Boston Hospital for Women, and Mary McLaurme Coggin, a graduate of George Peabody College for Teachers and a fifth grade teacher in the Nashville school system, have announced plans to wed this summer. So too have Doug Scarff, finishing his second year at Michigan Law, and Ann Flynn (Michigan '67).

Steve Kemper and Anne Mac Murray Loughlin are to be married this month. Anne, who has studied in England and Switzerland, is a senior at lowa's Coe College, and Steve, a National Defense Act Fellow at the University of Chicago, is a candidate for a Ph.D. in anthropology.

Bob Baldwin, about to receive his M.B.A. degree from the University of Washington, and Janice Jones, a senior at the same institution, are engaged to be married this month.

Lt.(j.g.) Richard Godfrey is engaged to Carol Savage, a student at the Henry Ford Hospital. Rick is serving aboard the "USS Boston."

Bob Swett, planning to take his Harvard M.B.A. degree and go to work for Cabot, Cabot & Forbes, in Boston real estate development, also has his wedding with Lorraine Weisman (Syracuse '66) set for June 22. His classmate, and former roommate, Bob Serenbetz, married last winter, will be on hand before joining Colgate in brand management in New York.

Best wishes for a healthy and profitable summer to all sixty-sixes. Keep us, and your friends, informed of all the transitions and relocations that are taking place. Remember that one special teacher, the footpath through the snow you enjoyed trotting across, the Sunday night of Green Key, then remember the Alumni Fund.
