1966
The range of sixty-six activity continues to broaden and diversify. Dave Gordon is one of ten pioneers from all parts of the country participating in a combined VISTA and Stanford Business School program designed to develop small businesses in the ghetto areas around San Francisco. The volunteers, most, like Dave, with advanced training in business, provide management assistance, training and help locate capital in poverty areas. Monthly compensation is $150.
Others in the class are pursuing more financially rewarding paths. Bill Halsey is working for Paine, Webber, Jackson & Curtis, investment bankers, and Bill Higgins, our head class agent, is picking up more pointers as an investment counsellor at Scudder, Stevens & Clark. Richard Duffee has added his talents to the brokerage firm of White Weld & Co. Neale Sweet is a Bankers Trust Company trainee, while Mike Smith can be found at his desk in W. R. Grace & Co., account executiving and financial analyzing. All are in New York City, where else?
Some classmates have located more unusual, and perhaps, more exciting, positions. Pete Crownfield, who displayed his keen interest in theatrical affairs in Hopkins Center, has been able to continue to pursue dramatic activities. Pete is a trustee, vice president, and general manager of the Theater Six in Metuchen, N. J. Hope this is just the first stage of his career.
Ben Watters is getting the hang of his current occupation. He's manager of an art framing shop in Hartford, Conn. DaveJohnston and Bill Risso are busy making big plans. Dave is assistant city planner for the city of San Diego, and Bill's a design engineer for the National Institute of Health. And Lance Tapley is keeping his eye on things in Providence, as a reporter for the "Journal-Bulletin."
Teaching is increasingly attractive. Jerman Rose is a grad student and assistant instructor at the University of Kansas. DickFriedman is at Skagit Valley College, Mt. Vernon, Wash., as an instructor of Business Administration. In Honolulu, Paul Rosendahl, about as far from good ice as you can get, is a teaching assistant in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Hawaii. The English Department of Detroit's Wayne State University is home base for Jim Wanless.
The corporate life has its lure and followers as well. Systems Analyst Edgar Holley is with Mobil Oil in New York, JohnLe Fevre is administrative assistant for Mankato Citizens Telephone Co., and Jim Lustenader is an assistant marketing manager for New England Telephone Company. And in the growing world of punch cards and magnetic tape, Tom Steinmetz is a programmer and analyst for the Consolidated National Shoe Corp. in Norwood, Mass.; George Berry is with Origital Equipment Corp. and Larry Cate is an IBMer in Worcester, Mass.
Society Notes (not to be confused with the orchestra at a debutante ball): Brad Stein and Mary Grace Pennisi were married on August 24 in Lawrence, Mass. Brad graduated from Catholic University with a master's, and Mary, a Merrimack College alumna, is studying at Catholic University.
Pete Titcomb and Lisa Bonnie Morris were married on Oct. 6 in Wolcott, Conn. Bill Risso was best man and Dan Barnard was an usher. Lisa graduated from Hood College and Pete is an electronics engineer employed by Sanders Association in Nashua, N. H.
Dave Smith held up his wedding on October 26 in order to be able to listen to the Dartmouth-Harvard football game. At 4:30, with slightly mixed emotions, he married Darilyn Keith. According to one source, "If the wedding had been held earlier in the afternoon, most of the men would have been coming down the aisle with radios glued to their ears." Wah-Hoo-Wah.
Dartmouth Med student Robert McAuley and a member of the Mary Hitchcock nursing corps, Donna Sue Bates, were married in Norwich, Vermont, on Oct. 26.
An upcoming wedding date finds Judy Brodsky, a Smith College graduate, studying for her master's degree in education at Boston University, and Ed Kuriansky, a thirdyear Harvard Law scholar, matched. More to follow.
Second lieutenant Jack Stebe was awarded Air Force silver pilot wings when he graduated with honors at Vance Air Force Base in Oklahoma. Following specialized aircrew training at other bases, his first assignment as a pilot will be at Williams AFB in Arizona. Jack added Thayer's B.E. degree to his College B.A. before joining the Air Force. He received his commission in 1967 upon completion of Officer Training School at Lackland AFB, Texas.
And with your cooperation, more to follow on us all in the anniversary year. Give - information.
