1969

The maiden voyage of the "Class Notes of '69" closes with everything from everywhere:

Don Pogue is convalescing and eager to hear from classmates at the Walter Reed Medical Center, Washington, D. C., after losing "about half" of his stomach to a peptic ulcer.

Governor Reagan's summer campaigning gains an able assistant in the personage ofBrooke Jackson, now a Golden Gate College of the Law student in San Francisco. Jim Janney is also on the West Coast completing his first year of med school at the University of Washington in Seattle.

The creative literati of the Class of '69 are keeping active. Charlie Morey is a Drama School student at Columbia and Arnie Weingart is enrolled in the School of Arts at the same institution. Mike Timchula is an architectural understudy at the Yale University School of Art. Within official and appropriate limits, Dave McGown is cautiously unleashing his creativity as a production specialist in the U.S. Army's Writer Bureau!

Many others have traded their mufti for the uniform. Ensign Perry Craver is a Naval Communications Officer in San Francisco. Ricky "D." Detwiler is an ensign aboard the "USS Theodore Chandler" out of the same port. Ed Rasmussen is an Army communications specialist at Fort Hood, Texas. CarlMoulton and John Kelsey are also Army enlistees. Ensigns Jud Graves and JohnVerb are both on Atlantic cruises while based in New York. Lt. Bill Henderson is undergoing USAF pilot training in Okla- homa. Finally, Joe Campbell is on an Air Force assignment in Thailand "in a capacity I can't talk too much about." His Asian tour has been enjoyed "so far"! Tricky Dick is trying to change your impressions, Joe!

Tom Cronan is a marketing trainee for Southern New England Telephone Company in Milford, Conn. Chris Stillbach is a management trainee in Chicago for the Admiral Systems Corp. Bear, Stearns, & Co. of New York has employed Doug Reynolds as a marketing research analyst. Ian Alsop was a "civilian in Vietnam" this winter while accompanying his journalist father, Stewart. He then flew to Bombay and became the "Easy Rider" of the Middle East and Europe on his way to London.

Locally, the Frakers happily announce the arrival of Christopher Alan, a ten-pound behemoth, on April 17. We'll be in Athens engaged in Greek studies from June 21 till August 2. Our residence there is the Youth Hostel in Byron and we would like to see some familiar faces, Jared!

Congratulations to the '69's who take that romantic plunge this month. We'd like to hear about the event! Also, plaudits to the College and President Kemeny for their position on the Cambodian situation in particular and the responsibilities of an American educational institution in general. Dartmouth's introspection and intellectual maturity in a critical hour are worthy of emulation and applause. Ergo. . . '69 snaps!!
