1963

Dear St. Nick, How are you? I am fine. Just a quick note before you start on your merry way. Several of the classmates (all non-pouters) deserve special consideration this year. So please "sock" it to 'em as follows:

For Rick Bowes. A Matched Set of Spiro Agnew Wristwatches (with movement only to the right, of course.) Rick's now manager of financial planning for an "exciting small company" called Time Share Corp., Hanover, N. H.

For Bill "Ollie" Purcell. A Pneumatic Gavel. Ollie successfully graduated in June from Columbia Law, where he was Editor-in-Chief of the "Columbia Journal of Law and Social Problems." Presently, he's clerking for Federal District Judge Tyler in NYC. (In that case, better throw in a couple dozen erasers, too!)

For new M.D.'s Bob W. Tucker and John Reed. A Rosetta Stone Brand Pen and Pencil Set. So our June '70 Harvard Med. grads will be able to write decipherable prescriptions for all their patients.

For John Bell. Three Douglas Firs, Two Turtle Doves, And A Partridge-In-A-Peartree. John was recently appointed Buffalo Grove, Ill.'s new park commissioner. He also holds down a job with Quaker Oats, Co., Chicago. (By the way, Nick, you'll be glad to know that the Bells' chimney at 1027 Harvard Ln. was just cleaned.)

For U.S.A.F. Capt. Steve Bloom. A 10,000 C.C., Multi-tipped Syringe With Oak Leaf Clusters. Steve was cited by the gov't of S. Korea and the Air Force (ours) for his effective leadership and prompt action in controlling a cholera epidemic threatening Kusan, AFB in Sept. '69. Steve gave more than 8,000 shots. Ouch! Well done, Steve.

For Howie Nannen. A 7" x 10" Glossy Of Our Highways' New National Flower— The Concrete Cloverleaf. Howie, principal planner, Hartford's Commission on the City Plan, will be teaching "Environmental Design" at U. Hartford. He also holds a couple architectural degrees from U. Mass.

For Chuck Goldthwaite. 10 Free Lessons From The Avon Lady On "The Principles Of Door To Door Solicitation." Chuck was recently appointed chairman of the West Apartments, South 1 in the United Fund Fall Campaign, Bronxville, N. Y. He's also an account exec, with Benton & Bowles Adv. NYC and claims that he gives at the office.

For Dennis Kratz. A Five Pound Alka Seltzer Tablet. To help settle all the Boston baked beans he ingested while working towards his June '70 Ph.D. from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Harvard.

For Fred and Sarah Jones. Snow and Skiers. Lots. All winter. Fred's manager of the Waterville Valley Ski Area, N. H. All '63's, Men of Dartmouth, wives, distant relatives, employers of same, friends, Romans, and countrymen are cordially invited to participate. And if you're really lucky, maybe wife Sarah will don that cute red outfit she had on Harvard weekend.

For Tom Clephane. A 55 Gallon Drum of OH-SO-BRITE Silver Polish. It'll come in handy for all those silver bowls, ware and candlesticks, he and spouse-to-be, Caroline Jones (Barnard grad) have received for their wedding this month. Tom's a senior security analyst for Oppenheimer & Co., Boston.

For Asst. U. S. Attorney Bill Subin andwife Petie. Position No. 1 On The Most Wanted List. Actually, it's really for young Daniel Hal Subin. Alias: Dan. Born: Oct. 1, 1970. Height: 19" Weight: 6 lb. 12 oz. Hair: dark brown. Eyes: brown. Record: on juvenile probation for disturbing the peace, disorderly conduct, and indecent exposure.

Well, Nick, that's about it. Oh, as usual, there's some reindeer fuel, plus a wee nip for you by the fireplace. But please try to replace the cap on the decanter, 'cuz last year the whole thing evaporated overnight!

A Merry and A Happy To All.
