1959

Wedding bells rang for George Kelley and Dana Murray in December, thereby reducing the '59 bachelor ranks by one. Congratulations, George! Dana is a child psychotherapist and George is assistant general counsel of INA Corp, parent company of the Insurance Company of North America. After Dartmouth, George graduated from the Harvard Law School and also attended the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration. Prior to this assignment, he was a vice president of Hayden Stone, Inc.

Ed Labenski has been appointed assistant secretary of the Connecticut Bank & Trust. Formerly with the Knights of Columbus investment department, Ed joined the bank in 1969 and lives in Glastonbury, Conn. WKRO radio, a Boston station I believe, has signed Jim Burke aboard its sales staff. He has held a variety of positions prior to this including advertising sales and market research with Life Magazine and Falstaff Brewing Corp, among others, and will bring this broad experience to the radio station's sales force. Jim and his wife, Angela, and two children, Christopher and Ceclia Ann, live in Sudbury, Mass., where he coaches the town's Pop Warner Football League team. He is also a member of the League's Board of Directors.

Boston's Office of Justice Administration, which funnels Federal Safe Streets Act money into the city for such projects as improving riot control, police recruitment, and drug abuse programs, is headed by Fred Scribner. Fred and his staff administered $1 million of a total of $2.7 million granted to the state in 1970.

Charles Steinhacker, a free lance nature photographer and artist-in-residence at Wesleyan University, has had another photographic essay published recently. Entitled "Superior: Portrait of a Living Lake," the book is a pictorial study of the only Great Lake, said to be still free of major pollution. Charlie's work has appeared in many magazines including Holiday, Life, and the National Geographic, and carries the general theme that man's environment is reaching a critical condition as the result of his own progress, and its future lies in the hands of today's youth. My own feelings on this subject are essentially the same as Charlie's so I hope his message is heeded.

The College's Anthropology Department reports that John Cook is at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, teaching courses on archaeological methods and pleistocene environments as well as running the Summer Field School.

The stork has been active too, as Jimand Nancy Taylor's family expanded by one last April when Mary Rebecca was born. Jim is with the Tufts Medical Center in Mound Bayou, Miss. And in May, Richard F. Schmidt Jr. was born, a potential ail-American end according to his parents, Dick and Donna Schmidt, who live in Columbus, Ohio.

Marv Sezak, after a long and intensive training program, is hard at work representing Sun Life of Canada. Marv's wife, Nancy, is expecting their first child in March. They live in South Weymouth, Mass., and report seeing Norm Swanson at the Holy Cross game.

And now for a commercial. The First Annual Dartmouth Alumni Ski Weekend will take place in Hanover on March 6 and 7. Lodging at the Hanover Inn on Friday and Saturday nights, dinner and two days of skiing at the Skiway can be had for the all inclusive price of $BO per couple. Proportionate reductions for singles and those requiring lodging for only one night are available. I understand that the above price does not include medical attention, however. Reservations may be made by writing Dennis Dinan, 203 Crosby Hall, Hanover.
