1965
At this first public opportunity '65 should congratulate itself on an excellent Alumni Fund performance. Our '71 results were our best ever, by far: first year to exceed our goal, third place in our heat of the Green Derby, an increase of 33 contributors producing 40% participation, a new class dollar record of $8551, up $3100 from 1970, and an average gift increase from $21 to $29. Good show! And a special round of thanks to Head Agent John Richardson and his cadre of assistants.
As usual, the summer produced a great deal of correspondence and news, all of which I won't be able to squeeze in here.
Harry and Judy Miles, son Gary (21 months) and new baby Sarah Lynn (June 24) are residing in Shutesbury, Mass., where Harry is an attorney specializing in Selective Service cases and a graduate student and teaching assistant in communications at the University of Massachusetts. His law office is in his home, and aside from conference calls in which young Gary takes unsolicited part, business is great.
The Dave Perinchiefs did the next best thing to winning the New Jersey lottery on June 12—they had twins. Patrick Tuttle and Kerri Hanna bring the total brood to three. Chief operates Perinchief Funeral Chapels in Mt. Holly, N. J.
Kingston, R. I., is the new address of Russ and Pam Capelle. His life is deeply entrenched in academia: he received an M.A. in geography from Clark University (Worcester, Mass.) in June while he was pursuing doctoral studies at the University of Pittsburgh. Now he'll be an instructor in geography at the University of Rhode Island while he also finishes up his dissertation for the Pitt Ph.D. On yeah, in his spare time (?) Russ makes occasional contributions to professional journals.
Jay Wright is finishing up at Harvard Law School where he is an honors student and a member of the Harvard Law Review. He's also involved with a program in public policy at the Kennedy Center.
How do these guys squeeze 28 hours into every day when there are only 24 in each of mine?
The Public Health Service has tabbed yet another of our hearty medics—one of the heartiest this time. Bill Affolter is headquartered in Mt. Edgecumbe, Alaska (not accessible by plane, boat, or whale). He'd been in general practice with a large clinic in Seattle for the past year. Old Sachem says that so far Alaska is all it's supposed to be: beautiful country, bald eagles, deer, and whales everywhere, but a dirth of squaws.
As predicted, Tucky Mays has had his heart nearly permanently captured, and by the time you read this his bachelorhood will be just a memory. LuAnn Leisy of Wichita, Kansas, assistant advertising direc- tor with the C. F. Hathaway Shirt Company, is the lucky girl. October 2 is their date. Tuck is the Eastern regional sales manager for the White Shield Oil and Gas Corporation. As many chicks will be heartbroken as will be relieved that the pursuit has ended.
Other wedding news concerns ChrisKnight and Miss Katherine Lasky (University of Michigan), who tied the knot on May 30 at Deer Isle, Maine. They're back in Cambridge now where Chris is a partner in the New Film Company of Boston.
'65's keep collecting degrees: Bill "Yogi"Herold received his M.D. from the University of Colorado in May. TomMeacham was there at the same time to pick up his law degree. Meanwhile, HarryHofrichter garnered a Ph.D. in chemistry at the University of Oregon, where he will stay on with his thesis adviser as a postdoctoral fellow.
Bob Overton has accepted a position as assistant professor of mathematics at Lakeland College in Sheboygan, Wis. He's been a Ph.D. candidate and a teaching assistant at the University of Washington most recently. He and Andrea will live on the Lakeland campus.
Palmer C. D. Wooglin writes that he is "alive and well"—won't tell me what he's doing except to say that he does it often with Harry Crosswell.
It is my sad task here to report the untimely deaths of Jack Livingston and Dave Konowitz. Jack died last spring after being wounded in Vietnam. Dave was a victim of cancer.
The best fall dates are yet to come: October 23 at Harvard, where Fast Ed Keible returns to terrorize the Cantabs; October 30—the Yale extravaganza in Hanover; and November 20 at Princeton, and Peter Frederick and Rich Beams are making noises about '65 'tails and dinner on that occasion. More on that in the November column.
Happy days!
