1963

Turkey Time. While over-the-river-and-through-the-woodsing it, I met an old alum from yesteryear. He was so wrinkled, he looked as if he had been sleeping in a box of prunes. And right there under his arm was the October first issue of the Wall St. Journal. Front page of which sported an article about "Green Weenies." (Creeping co-education on D's campus.) Yikes! Once they were superior, now they're trying to be equal. Next it'll be a subway between Dick's House and the Inn Corner. Progress, ain't it great. Enough said.

The following is a recording. Kim Morris has recently joined Dictaphone Corp. of Rye, N. Y., in a newly created position of director of advertising for the firm's business machines and office service divisions. Kim's M.B.A. from Northwestern and fouryear experience as account exec with Y & R (a Madison Ave. ad agency) no doubt helped land the position. Kim resides in Rye with wife Louise and offspring.

Up on Baker Ave. in Concord, Mass., Dr. Phil Knoettner is giving the Tooth Fairy some serious competition. After completing a two-year stint on the amalgam line with the Army at Fort Ord. Calif., Phil's now practicing on his own. When not in Concord, it's Cambridge, where he plans to teach dentistry at Harvard. The very same place Phil received his D.M.D., magna cum laude. Well, I guess that fills Phil's bill.

Further up the street in Portland, Me., Dr. Bill Homer (no relation to Little Jack) is keeping his patients in stitches. Following graduation from Jefferson Medical College, Bill won a residency in general surgery at Maine Medical Center. Next, Bill, wife Carol, and daughters Lara and Amy will spend some time diagnosing just what makes the Navy tick.

Dartmouth men, as the song goes, have granite "in their muscles and their brains." But John Dickey Jr. takes nothing for granite. At the 50th Anniversary celebration of the Mineralogical Society of America, John's contribution for a symposium on the Mineralogy and Petrology of the Upper Mantle was entitled, "Partial fusion products in alpine-type peridoties: Serrania de la Ronda and other examples." Pardon me, but that one left my pencil shortwinded. I'll have to get some graphitus refillum.

The three R's have gained a fourth. At least in the Ascutney School, Vermont. TomRhoad joined the school after having taught social studies at the U.S. Naval Academy for the past two years. Wise decision. Spitballs are softer than cannonballs.

For whom the wedding bell tolls. It tolls for all of thee below. For Larry Swift, who wasn't fast enough. Got caught on the curves by Marilyn Dudik in Ansonia, Conn. Larry's doing grad work at Northeastern, when not working at John Hancock Life Insurance in Boston. Marilyn's an art teacher with degrees from the College of New Rochelle and Massachusetts College of Art. For Tom Ralph, complete with law degree from the Univ. of Pennsylvania. Tom's supreme courting landed Margaret Walton, Wellesley grad. They now reside in St. Davids. For Reg Jones, who needed help with his homework. In late July, Reg married Nancy Jo Kowalick of Norwood, Pa. Both Reg and Nancy are currently attending the Graduate School of Education at the Univ. of Pennsylvania. Reg also attended Wharton Biz School; Nancy, Penn State and the Univ. of Salamanca (Spain). And lastly, Luke Edgar. Yup, Anne Marian, Mt. Holyoke grad, put one and one together this September and came up with Luke's number. With Thayer School and the Navy behind him, Luke is presently attending George Washington University Law School.

Time to start thinking about eggnog and resolutions. See you in December.
