1960

Five members of your class executive committee convened in Hanover the first weekend in May. It was my first visit since reunion. I expected to see the campus a smoldering ruins with the students hiding in the hills. This was not the case; and, in fact I came away from the weekend with a new pride in Dartmouth. I am afraid many of the older alumni, who may have spent the entire weekend very close to the meetings in Hopkins Center, may have come away with a less optimistic view because Hopkins Center seems to be the S.D.S. headquarters for Hanover. I made all of the meetings but I also had breakfast at Hal's, visited the office of the "Daily D," a few beers on fraternity row, and spent an afternoon on the Connecticut River watching the crew races with several hundred undergraduates and dates. In my conversations with the current undergrads, I found them to be certainly more aware of and sensitive about our world than we may have been in the '50s but they were not about to tear down the world of the '70s either.

I say this in complete awareness of the happenings at Parkhurst the week after we got home. The Eastern press, in typiCal fashion, has neglected to point out that S.D.S. at Dartmouth has a grand total of 30 members and that a new group, S.B.D (Students Behind Dartmouth), has been formed. S.B.D. calls S.D.s. immature. According to a WDCR interview, S.B.D. supports the College and its views. The first S.B.D. meeting drew over 200 students.

The members of the executive commits in Hanover were Stowe, Kohn, the Morgans, the Brocks, and me. In terms of class business, the most important subject covered was reunion plans. June 19, 20, and 21 1970 are the dates. However, we are going to have some warm-up parties at football games and during the winter. Details of these soirees will be announced by Gene in newsletters.

In Rochester, N. Y., John Mitchell was recently named coordinator of cash management at the Sybron Corporation. Sounds like a good man to know! He has been with Sybron since September 1968 as a planning analyst. Formerly he was assistant manager of management information systems for Univac International Division of Sperry Rand Corporation. He joined that company after five years as a senior accountant with Ernst & Ernst in New York City.

Recent address changes indicate that Pete Hubert is now a product engineer with I.T.E. Imperial Corp. at Ardmore, Pa.; and Lt. Bruce Hulbert is on the Navy O.C.S staff at Newport, R. I. Robert Conklin is with the firm of Lindsay, Nahstoll, Hast, Dafoe and Krause in Portland, Ore. If you don t need Bob for legal work but just want to say hello, he is living in Portland too. Bill Hibbs has moved to East Moline, HI. where he is the general manager of the Chemical Coating Division of Minnesota Paints, Inc. Scott Paper has moved Hans Wurster back East. Hans is living in Wallingford, Pa.

The big news in the baby department this month is the arrival of David Borden Powers on March 12. Papa, Borden Powers, is on top of the world.

Brad Lund was sympathetic to my lack of news and dropped me a line about his move from Baltimore to Lake Grove, N. Y. Apparently, Brad was so good at spotting suspicious lumps and pouches that the U.S. Customs Service has put him on the staff of their National Training Center just built on the grounds of Hofstra University. Brad and Mary Anne have three children.

In April, a large number of New York City '6os gathered to hear the big Alumni Fund Sales Pitch in New York. Jack Litchfield, local Madison Avenue ad man, was there along with one of our last bachelor holdouts, Don Sheffield. Jack Patterson, who was there too, told me that "Ed Kauffman was recently made a full professor of botany at the University of Baltimore where has has taken an active interest in the Baltimore Outing Club which fits in with his other interests." What do you have to say about that, Ed?

Woody Woodworth has been named athletic director at Worcester Academy. Woody will become the head baseball coach. He went to Worcester after a three-year hitch in the Marines. Before this appointment, he had had coaching responsibilities in baseball, swimming, and football. Woody and Diane live in Northboro, Mass., with their three children.

Another former '60 sports star is still in the sports news. An eighteen-man hockey squad, drawn largely from the ranks of the Concord (N. H.) High and St. Paul's School teams, made a two-week European tour in March. They had a seven game schedule which was arranged under the auspices of American Sports Ambassadors Program, a part of the People to People Project, roach for the team was Rev. Russell Ingersoll Rusty, a teacher of Sacred Studies at St Paul's, was the initiator of the project.

Rob Harvey's wife was justifiably excited about all of the activity in their new home in Williamsburg, Mass. She writes that Bob bought his own business last year (SpikeHamilton tells me that Bob is in the automotive supply business); they had their third child, Kurt, in March 1969; and they have acquired all sorts of animals to populate their 96-acre spread.

"I have a feeling that Neil Grey thinks we have a reunion this June, since he just wrote me to say that "we won't be able to join our friends at the reunion." The Greys have been living outside of St. Louis, where he has been completing his training in Endocrinology. He has been invited to give a talk at the American Federation for Clinical Investigation in Atlantic City in May and another at the American Diabetes Association meeting in New York at the end of June. After that, the Army in Maryland for a few years. Joan, tell Neil reunion is in June of 1970.

Gene Kohn has made a big move in a business career that has been nothing less than meteoric. He is forming his own company to search out and develop groups of retail stores around the country that currently operate autonomously, but could increase their effectiveness by operating under one national corporate aegis. The name of this new frontier for Gene is Associated Specialty Retailers.
