1962

Guess what? Spring arrived here in New England right on schedule. Only three weeks late this year. Time to get out that reflector and tan up the old dome.

Joining a big Dartmouth family line is Jonathan Richard Emerson who was greeted on March 12 by Carol and Bill Emerson. The newest arrival is named after Bill's father Dick '34, and his brother John '71 whose birthdays both occur on the same day. Jonathan is number two son following Benjamin Allen to the Emerson table.

Waiting for Dartmouth to go co-ed are Marilee and Sam Anderson who welcomed Mary Kathryn to the fold on Feb. 25. Mary rivals 2½-year-old Sarah for Sam's attention these days. Marilee reports Sam is in his fourth year teaching high school English and algebra at Mills High near Palo Alto, Calif. Let me know how it is in San Luis Obispo, Sam.

Word has it that Jim Page is fighting those high interest rates at the First National Bank of Boston where he was recently named an assistant vice president. Jim landed in Boston after pulling down a diploma in economics from Oxford, and passes his leisure hours in Wellesley with wife, Cassandra.

Roy Halstead now makes his home in Brussels while he labors for the international retail consulting firm, P. K. Halstead Associates, Inc. Roy and the family headed to Europe last fall after taking in the Princeton game, and will be occupied heading up the firm's activities in all of Western Europe. Another '62 on the move is Ernie Roessler who became assistant accounting officer in the Metropolitan Department of Mellon National Bank and Trust Co. in Pittsburgh. Ernie joined the bank in 1963 following the receipt of his master's at Tuck.

The old class scribe has returned home from Viet Nam with honors. Paul Weinberg was awarded a bronze star for meritorious service. Paul was the command judge advocate for the 4th Transportation Command in Saigon charged with operating the post facilities. Paul is now post judge advocate at Carlisle Barracks in Pennsylvania, the site of the U.S. Army War College.

A June wedding is in store for Jack Fitzgibbon and Margaret Metting. Margaret received her degree from Albertus Magnus College this spring. Jack served with Uncle Sam's foot soldiers from 1964-1968. What are you up to now, Jack, besides counting the days?

Enlightening the younger generation at Williams College are Phil Cantelon and Nelson Orringer who were recently named assistant professors. Phil spent last year lecturing from the history platform at Williams where he landed after spending two years as a teaching assistant at Indiana University. Previously Phil picked up his master's at the U. of Michigan. Nelson will operate from the language department after spending last year as a lecturer in Spanish. Nelson grabbed off his master's at Brown before heading for Williams.

In New York Ed Falkenberg has been named chief accountant for the firm of Joseph E. Seagram & Sons, Inc. Just shows what an M.B.A. from Tuck will do for you! Ed is a member of the New York State Society of C.P.A.s and the City Athletic Club. He is also serving as an assistant class agent in the current Alumni Fund drive. Both native New Yorkers, Ed and Pat continue to live in the big city at 315 East 70th Street with their son Christopher.

Karl Young is one of our classmates who's working to change the troubled society so prevalent in the news these days. Karl has founded and guides the Crisis Forum which meets twice monthly to discuss and act on critical city issues, especially black-white relations. The forum consists of neighborhood people who are willing to approach their problems with discussion and action as it is necessary within a non-violent framework. The program has been enormously popular and successful, and has spread from Philadelphia to other Pennsylvania cities.

Bob Van Dam is even more anxious to hear from you than I am. Let's get behind the fund drive. I'd better get back inside. Funny how fast that temperature drops here.
