1965
Hello again! Hope you all enjoyed a safe and happy summer, and are busily back at your desks, podiums, blackboards, operating tables, etc. It appears from the volume of mail I’ve received that it’s been a lively four months for you since this column last appeared.
The class officers and executive committee met in August to discuss and implement a semi-long range program for ’65. A very productive work session was held at PeteFrederick’s in Ridgewood, N. J., at which several points were agreed upon:
1) Class dues were set at $lO, and will be collected this fall. (We must now begin paying for our Alumni Magazine subscriptions, and dues will cover that expense plus Class newsletters and other projects.) Roger Rines, our treasurer, will be in touch with each of you soon if you haven’t already heard from him.
2) Rich Beams has organized a very informal class ‘tails party in Hanover after the Princeton game this year. We hope that this will become an annual event.
3) Ted Bracken succeeds Hank Amon as editor of the newsletter. Hank has been recently transferred to Brussels. Ted joined the Admissions Office at Princeton in July after finishing all but his dissertation for a Ph.D. from Columbia’s Teachers College. He plans to make the newsletter a forum of class opinion and a vehicle for discussion, so if you have gripes or praise for Nixon, Kemeny, drugs. Women’s Lib, Dartmouth’s CPW, Southeast Asia, etc., write to Ted at the Office of Admissions, Princeton Univer- sity, Princeton, N. J. 08540.
4) A 1965 Memorial Book program is being established to honor our deceased classmates. With the help of the Baker Library staff we shall select a particular area of the library’s collection to augment, and the Class will purchase a book for the College in memory of each deceased class member. In addition, it will be possible for individuals to contribute in a classmate’s name for the acquisition of additional books. More information on this will be forthcom- ing.
More than the executive committee have been busy this summer.
George Rutler has returned to his curate and chaplain duties in Rosemont, Pa., after spending part of the summer at Oxford University doing research on a grant from the English Speaking Union.
A ’65 colony is growing in San Diego where Kenny and Lisbeth McGruther,Steve and Donna Farrow, and Kurt andNancy Findeison all make their Navy homes. The latest addition was Lisa Farrow, born last spring.
Andover, N. J., is now home for the SteveFullers. The size of their family was increased by the arrival of David Dwight last April. He’s their second child, first son. Steve is a pilot with United Airlines.
This column is a bit tardy in reporting the marriage of Ken Behar to the former Miss Linda Mary Liu (Radcliffe). They were wed last spring on the West Coast, and are now living in Brighton, Mass., while Ken clerks for the Massachusetts Superior Court. He graduated in June from Boston Univer- sity Law School. Linda is a graphic designer.
Frank and Roberta Heston have each recently received graduate degrees from UMass and Smith, respectively. He will use his M.A. in history as a junior high school teacher in Northampton. She teaches pre- schoolers at the Smith College Day School.
Our esteemed valedictorian, Dick Jones, has received his doctorate from Stanford (in chemistry) and has signed on as a programmer/analyst with the Syntax Cor- poration in Palo Alto. His career at Stanford was apparently as distinguished as his four years in Hanover.
Both Dick Bernstein and Ted Boyle have returned to Mary Hitchcock for their internships. Dick graduated from B.U. in June, and he and his family (which includes nearly year-old twins) are living in Hanover. Ted finished at Albany Medical College last spring. He is married to the former Mary Knight (Univ. of Vermont ’66).
The Soldiers’ Medal, our country’s highest military honor for heroism in a non-combat situation, has been awarded to Capt. TedStafford. He earned the award while stationed in Vietnam. That government honored him with the Vietnamese Medal of Honor for his contributions to the training and development of the Vietnamese Armed Forces. Ted is now in the office of the Director of Personnel and Community Activities at Ft. Knox.
Two of our classmates are making it big in the banking business. Jock Hosmer has just started as a commercial banking assistant with the Manchester Bank in Manchester. N. H. He received his MBA from UNH in June.
John Poole has been appointed a trust investment officer at the First National Bank of New Bedford, Mass. He had been with the State Street Bank and Trust Cos. in Boston since graduation. He is married with three children.
Two late birth announcements: a son (Robert) to Bob and Barb Busch in mid- August. And Melinda in late July for Steveand Linda Waterhouse. Happy fall and peace!
