1965

As is the case annually, a lot of class news has piled up on my desk during the summer months, and I welcome the opportunity of this first ALUMNI MAGAZINE issue of the fall to diminish the heap. More and more the word that trickles my way indicates that '6s's are beginning to settle down, to become established (please, undergrads, don't take me too literally!) and to make their marks in professions, avocations, and community service. In short we seem to be ripening, and I, for one, hope this maturity will carry over into our existence as an alumni body. You all probably realize that after four years of graduate vegetation our Class has compiled a very short list of contributions to the College - spiritual, monetary, or otherwise. Beyond the work of a few hard core enthusiasts our performance totals zero. Dartmouth, more than probably any other college in the country, offers its alumni the chance to participate in shaping the affairs, the policy, and the future of the campus. It's time '65 began to take advantage of these opportunities in local alumni groups, enrollment, annual giving, etc. I've heard President Dickey say that investing in education is the only hope left to our nation, and it's time we threw our full support to the best institution we know - Dartmouth.

The greatest single category of summer mail was baby news. We're proving to be a prolific group!

April 29 Jim and Anne Kittle welcomed James Kent, their first son and second child, into their family. Dad is a graduate student in psychology at Columbia.

A day later Maureen and Dave Perinchief had their first, Alison Marren. Dave is a very successful funeral director in Mt. Holly, N. J., and turned his talents to organizing an impressive reunion memorial service for us in June.

Tom and Carol Morton had about the best reason for missing reunion. Their Kevin Thomas arrived just two days after our festivities ended (June 24). They're all living (with 3-year-old daughter Cheryl) in San Jose, Calif. Tom is with Lockheed Aircraft.

Late July was expansion time for the John Richardsons — that's when John Jr. arrived. John Sr. is now with a Newark law firm after a year's clerkship for a Jersey judge.

The word from Chicago is that TomCampbell is running an exciting campaign as a candidate for a delegate seat to the Illinois Constitutional Convention. He's a lawyer, having graduated from Cornell Law School in 1968, but he anticipates taking a leave of absence from his firm if he is elected, so that he can devote full time to his delegate responsibilities. Pierre Kisteneff and John Rogers have been instrumental in the organization of Tom's campaign, and he would welcome help in any form from any of you who might be interested in his candidacy. He's with Ross, Hardies, O'Keefe, Babcock, McDugald & Parsons in Chicago.

Dave Mulliken wrote in early summer about his Navy experiences. He's a lieutenant aboard the "U.S.S. Mahan" (guided missile frigate) and is now sailing in the Gulf of Tonkin. He expects to be back in the States next August. Dave was using his Tuck M.B.A. at General Mills in Minneapolis before he went to sea in 1967.

Enviable is probably an understatement for the spot George Rutler has found for himself. He received his S.T.B. degree (Bachelor of Sacred Theology) from General Theological Seminary in NYC in May and is now a curate at the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd in Rosemont, Pa. One of his duties is counseling the girls at Bryn Mawr. He will be ordained a priest in December.

Marriage news from Marsh Wallach. On August 30 he wed Miss Henrietta Holsman (Wellesley '70) in Santa Barbara, Calif. He worked as a securities analyst for a Baltimore mutual fund this summer, and is now back at Harvard finishing up his MBA work.

Also at the Harvard B School this fall will be Ed Taber, fresh out of the Marine Corps. He attained the rank of captain with the leathernecks and spent his last 10 months in the service coaching the Corps track and field and cross country teams after a meritorious stint in Vietnam.

Ted Bracken tied the knot on August 24 with Miss Nancy Lieblich. They're living in NYC while he continues his doctoral studies at Teachers College, teaches remedial math in three Brooklyn schools, and assists with the Columbia freshman football team. (He hasn't yet told me what he does with all his free time.)

Mike Zare and his bride of last December, the former Joan Chin of Kingston, Jamaica, have relocated in Taiwan, where both are teaching at the Taipei American School. He was teaching French at the Punahou School in Hawaii until May, and has become chairman of the Foreign Language Dept. in Taipei. In traveling to their new home the Zares had expected to see Ned and Lisa Nakagawa and Joe and KyokoKamada in Tokyo.

Bethlehem Steel Corp. is beginning to feel the impact of Pete Coker's employ. I saw Pete and Sue and their children, Dina (3 yrs.) and Peter, Jr. (1), in August while spending a week at his dad's basketball camp in Allentown, Pa. The whole group looked great, and Peter is insuring their prosperity by keeping as sharp an eye as ever on Wall Street.

One of Pete's old sidekicks, Mike Buckley and wife Mary spent some time with the Mahoneys this summer. They expect their first child in October and the unpredictability of child arrival is raising havoc with Buck's plans for the Harvard game.

That's about all there is room for this time around. I imagine that by the time you read this in October the Big Green gridiron forces will have dispensed with UNH and Holy Cross and will be preparing to number Penn as victim #3 in Hanover on Oct. 11 - that will be Dartmouth Night weekend, a good time to get back to the upper valley. Perhaps we'll see you there or at another tilt this fall.
