1960

The Dartmouth Community of the metropolitan New York City area turned out in force to greet President Kemeny in late April. The Class of '60 was well represented with at least twenty of our classmates in attendance. Although this annual affair is always a lot of fun, this group may be somewhat masochistic since the initial Alumni Fund appeal is always made on this night. The dominant characteristic of our group was really unabashed pride due to the fact that the Class of 1960 has far and away the best record of contributions of a class of our age in the history of the Alumni Fund. As we prepare for reunion (June 19-21) when we will be reminded of the great debt we all have to Dartmouth, I would suggest that an early and generous contribution to the 1970 Alumni Fund would be the best way to assure the continuance of the now famous '6O response to a challenge.

Because of the large number of men at the N.Y.C. meeting, it would be impossible to mention all of the attendees. However, I did see Bob Caufield, fresh from a C.B.S. production assignment, hail George Potts, who is now involved with establishing his own business venture in N.Y.C. They both joined Dudley Smith at dinner. Dudley has been promoted by the Chubb Group in New York, where he is responsible for furthering the firm's expanding insurance empire. At the dinner table, the Basking Ridge, N. J., contingent of Don Stoddard and Roger Schaefer announced new moves; Stoddard to a new home and Schaefer to a new bank, U.S. Trust.

Your class officers were all there too, which gave me a good chance to catch up on the details of a rather unusual set of births from Allen Stowe. As some of you know, the Stowes, the Lums and the Hileys do a lot together socially and in business, but I think you will agree the timing of their children's births is carrying togetherness to an extreme. All three families had children this past winter. On December 5, Betsy Stowe delivered a future stroke for the Dartmouth crew; Jonathan Davies Stowe weighed in at nine pounds, six ounces. A tardy O.B. at Overlook Hospital in Summit, N. J., resulted in Bill Lum's having to help Beth deliver their first son. After Bill's blood pressure returned to normal and Dave Hiley brought Gail and their first daughter back from the hospital, Bill and Dave took off to Sun Valley for some skiing.

A note from Chuck Kaufman indicates that he is in the milk business in New York City and still is playing ball and coaching. He is also doing some interviewing and recruiting for Dartmouth. Wayne Giving andBetty fill up their spare time with separate bridge clubs (that would have avoided a lot of marital stress between Lois and me) and church work. Wayne, who is with Kodak in Rochester, will be moving to Colorado in mid-1971 to help start a new plant for Kodak near Windsor, Colo. He sees LeeHorschman, who works for the Business Systems Marketing Division of Kodak and Bill Colton Jr., who moved to Rochester to represent All State Insurance.

Lyman Bacon is moving eastward to take on the new job of vice president in charge of metropolitan banking in the commercial banking department of the Western Pennsylvania National Bank of Pittsburgh. He had been a commercial lending/development officer at the First National Bank of Toledo, Ohio. We understand that he and his wife Jean and their daughter expect to locate in Bethel Park, Pa., exact address unknown at this writing.

Two children, anti-war activities, and applied physics at the National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Ill., keep Dick Mobley on the go. Errol Paine is serving as county attorney for Penobscot County, Me., when he is not practicing law for Paine, Cohen & Lynch in Bangor. One of our local attorneys, Dick Aronsohn, has established a new partnership with two other prominent members of the Bergen County, N. J., Bar. The firm of Lester, Kahn and Aronsohn will be located in Hackensack, N. J., as of April 1. Although the firm-is capable of handling any type of case, Dick's primary area will be litigation and criminal defense work.

Good old Tom Gould didn't let me down when I asked for news. He is a department manager for thirty software programmers involved in programming a medium sized operating system for Honeywell EDP's series 200 computers. Tom married Imogene Bates. Colby Jr. '59, and they have two children: Billy, three and Karen, three months. He is involved with job procurement for the disadvantaged, an avocation to be proud of. Stop by and see the Goulds in Medfield, Mass., or go over to Wayland, Mass., and give Jane and Bill Guady hand in building their new home.

DO YOU REMEMBER... The Psi UBeta bike race kicked off from Tanzi's for the 120-mile bash to Smith.... Dean Fred Berthold and S.P.C. Duvall join a protest march on Concord over the imprisonment of Dr. Willard Uphaus.... The Classified's in the D pleaded with "the person who took Professor Wagner's bicycle last weekend to please return it to Fairbanks."... Lucy gave Charly Brown hell for his pitching. Bob Irvine contributes a question to the DO YOU REMEMBER section. He recalls that many fraternities were supposed to have had their "clauses" out of their constitution, but he wonders if many have not reverted back to their old basis.

Bob is manager of Public Relations in Philadelphia for Smith, Kline and French Laboratories. His job entails helping the firm's nine subsidiary companies become more widely known, and trouble shooting for the corporate headquarters with these companies in a variety of areas as they continue their rapid growth and development. He is happily married to his 1959 Carnival blind date, Ann. His outside activities involve serving as vice president of his Jaycee Chapter and Area Chairman for the Greater Philadelphia United Fund. Some one liners... Dr. William Mattson Jr. is with the Navy as a surgeon in Guam. WesRoodhouse Jr. is manager of acquisitions and analysis in Fort Worth, Texas, for Alcon Labs, Inc. In Newton, Mass., Bob Heinnemaa is an associate in architecture and planning with Chapman & Goyette Associates, Inc.

Among the many incentives to get back to reunion on June 19 will be the opportunity to see our Class Gift. Tom Kirby, who chaired the committee organized to select the gift, came up with an outstanding selection. Working with Truman Brackett Jr. '55, Art Director of Hopkins Center, he was able to acquire a 53-inch bronze by Elbert Weinberg, Sculpter-in-Residence at Hopkins this year. The work carries the title, "Winter Bride." Speaking for the committee, Tom says: "We feel that we have picked a gift that the people at the College want, that thousands of students will enjoy, that will increase in value over the years and will bring prestige to our class for many years."
