Some of you may be lucky enough to get this issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE before March 15, so that a reminder of our minireunion-ski weekend at Timber Ridge will not be wasted. This is Dick Chase's area under development, near Windham, Vt. For details and room reservations, call Eric Anderson 802-254-9182.

Dick Cowan is also involved in real estate. He specializes in leasing office buildings in Cleveland, Ohio. He and Marcy spent some time with Sandy and Bruce Molinaroli last year when Sandy came back for her tenth high school reunion. Bruce was recently appointed vice president of the Institutional Services Department of the First Devonshire Corporation in New York City.

Lots of doctor news this month. The terror of the back nine at the Durham, N. C., golf club is Pete Parker, M.D. Pete is Chief Resident in OB-GYN at Duke University; and, aside from night calls, and golf, Peter 6, Mimi 5, and Pam 3, keep him and Anne very busy.

Ken Siegel, D.D.S. has established his new office at 200 Central Park South in New York City. He gets all the business that results from the muggings in the Park. Frank Vinelli is completing a residency in plastic surgery at the Tulane U. School of Medicine in New Orleans. Jim Hughes has moved from California to D. C., where he is assistant chief of the Division of Impatient Psychiatry at Walter Reed General Hospital. Out at the Mayo Clinic Grad. School of Medicine, Dick Freeman is a neurosurgical fellow.

Enough medicine. How about rocks? Mike Wood let me know that he is assistant professor of Geology-Mineralogy at the University of Alaska in College, Alaska. He says he does not see many '6os in Fairbanks. I can't understand that.

We had not heard from Bryant Barnes in a long time, so I was glad to get his note which tells of his association with H. O. Peet & Co. in Kansas City, Mo. Bryant has not lost his organization touch; he was chairman of a local ball for young people which drew 1,000. Apparently, he has seen Cliff Elliott, who is a partner in a Kansas City law firm specializing in labor negotiations.

As I look out on a back yard covered with grey snow, the thought of Luther Taylor commuting from Hollywood, Fla., to his teaching in the Social Science Dept. at Miami-Dade Junior College makes me sick. Luther is married to Art Kola's ('61) sister, Gloria. They have two children. Some time back, I mentioned that several

of our class were running for office. I have no results from most of them, but I am happy to report that Jim Brannen was elected as a delegate to the Illinois Constitutional Convention. He has taken a leave of absence from his job as assistant vice president of the First National Bank of Chicago, and will spend the next six months trying to write a new constitution for Illinois in Springfield. Don Stoddard called to let me know that Tom Trimarco is doing a fine job as coxswain for a local crew club.

I am sorry that I received the advance notice of the premiere of Bruce Eaken's new flick, "The Chaste Chase," too late to give it proper publicity. It was February 6 and was supposed to have "as much raw violence, untamed passion and breath-taking beauties as a classic comic Western flick can hold." Bruce works in N.Y.C. as a corporate attorney and film making is a hobby.

DO YOU REMEMBER Chuck Darrow took the Injunaires into N.Y.C. to cut the recording of "Injunaires Imprints" and to catch up with the Rockets whose hearts they had broken the previous fall.... The hockey team took the Ivy crown with such games as an 11-0 win over Cornell and the 5-4 squeaker over Yale.... Andy Nighs-wander designed and supervised the construction of the Psi U hockey rink and then went to bed for a month with a "body cold."...

Back in 1970, Andy Nighswander is on the staff at Harvard. According to Pat andBruce Clark, with whom we had dinner recently, Andy looked resplendent in an Edwardian suit at the Dartmouth-Harvard game last fall. They said Andy was anxious to return to Washington, D. C., where he had had responsible positions in both the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations. Bruce also mentioned that Andy Stone had joined Bruce at McKinsey and Co. in New York. The Clarks' tenth wedding anniversary will come up at the same time as our reunion, so plan on stopping by the Treasurer's home on your way to Hanover.

Tom Franklin has been appointed general counsel for International Data Corporation in Newton, Mass. He formerly had been in private practice. There really is an Ashtabula, Ohio, and Dwight Beebe has made it big there. He has been appointed a member of the Board of Directors of the Carlisle-Allen Co. The director of their data processing, he has been with the department store group since June 1967. Dune Knapp has been named assistant manager of the Atlanta district of Armstrong Cork Company's Industry Products Division. He joined the company in 1963.

We had a disappointing note from ArtHill. He will not be able to be at reunion. He has been offered an opportunity by the Army. This will be a program leading to a Master's degree in hospital administration. The two-year hitch will begin this summer in Germany. Art figures that coupling this stint with the 8½ years he has in to date, will lead to his making the Army a career. This will be the 7th move in three years for him and Dot. For the time being, he is hospital administrator at Ft. Devens, Mass., working with Viet returnees. Moving as much as you have, Art, you ought to be able to get to Hanover on June 19-21.

Don't forget to send the name of anyone whom you would like to nominate for our new Class executive committee to TomAlaimo, 609 Morgan Drive, Lewiston, N. Y. 14092 by March 31.
