1965
I hope this column finds each of you a survivor of the midwinter blahs and looking forward to spring. Linda and I discovered a new way to get through northern New England's January-February doldrums— change jobs and have a baby. We tried both and we have found the last two months anything but boring.
On January 7 Kimberly Marie, our second child and first daughter, arrived. A few weeks later I changed positions here at Exeter and became Director of Annual Giving. (The switch from admissions to fund-raising definitely has "out of the frying pan into the fire" implications to it, but I'm looking forward to it.) Things are back to normal now, but believe me it all beats the blahs.
Ralph Wolff writes from Aspen that he is a free-lance photographer and an instructor at the Center of the Eye, a photographers' school. Ralph has been married for almost three years to the former Robin Wilson, and they have a son, Eric, who is 17 months old.
Dr. Chet Phillips has begun his surgical residency at the Hospital of the Univ. of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. He earned his M.D. at Penn in 1969.
Hanover is home again for AndyNewton, at least for the next two years. He's left the Burnett Construction of N.Y.C. to take up studies at the Tuck School.
If our class has an academic jet-setter it has to be Vic Mair, who is now a student at Tunghai University in Taiwan. He's previously been a Peace Corps volunteer in Nepal and has studied at the London School of Oriental and African Studies.
Steve Loomis has finished a stint with the Army, and is back at Dartmouth to finish work on his A.B. He's living in Norwich, Vt.
Those of you who read "Sports Illustrated" know how busy Heinz Kluetmeier is. He's a contract photographer with Time, Inc. and has something in SI almost every week. He and Donna and their three children live in Wauwatosa, Wis.
Al Hegyi is in N.Y.C. as the editor- publisher of Summitt Services Co. He earned an MBA at Tuck in 1966.
Jay Hayes is in his first year as an English instructor at the California State College at Fullerton. He received his Ph.D. in English from the Univ. of Indiana last June.
Barry and Sara Gross are enjoying the winter months in Miami, where he is doing his residency in neurology at Jackson Memorial Hospital at the Univ. of Miami. He is a graduate of Philadelphia's Jefferson Medical College. They have a two-year-old daughter, Miriam.
Another of our budding young physi- cians, Dr. Brad Gerrish, has chosen to stay far from the east for his training and practice. He picked up his M.D. from the Univ. of Washington in 1969 after having earned a BMS at Dartmouth. Last year he interned at the Denver General Hospital, and now is living in Browning, Mont., and is, I presume, in private practice.
Joe Dolben is out of the Navy and into Plymouth, N.H., where he and wife Donna are living. He's with the A.M. Rand Plumbing Company.
Gary Bucher is a Coast Guard lieutenant aboard the cutter "Rush" on the West Coast. He's been with the Coast Guard since shortly after his graduation from Dartmouth in June 1967.
The Navy has latched onto the services of Dr. Mark Brodkey. He's serving aboard the "U.S.S. Newport News" in the Atlantic Mark is a graduate of Dartmouth Med and Johns Hopkins Med, and interned last year in New York.
In mid-January the Alumni Council met in Hanover, and I want to share with you some of my impressions of those three days. I wish that each of you could have the opportunity which I have been afforded through the Council to get to know the Dartmouth of the '7o's. Twice a year we meet the faculty, talk with the student explore existing or planned new programs, and discuss ideas and policies. Each time I have come away from these gathering" excited and very enthusiastic about what the College is doing and how it is doing it Believe me, we can continue to be very proud of Dartmouth and the outstanding people who comprise her student body and faculty.
The Friday evening dinner of our mid winter meeting was in honor of the senior members of the 1970 football team, and marketed the first public appearance of new coach, Jake Crouthamel. The affection and respect these senior ballplayers have for each other and for Jake is truly heartwarming and it gives some inkling of why this team was great. And Jake's first go at speech making was inspiring—Dartmouth's football fortunes remain in outstanding hands.
If this month's column seems sparse to you it's because news is hard to come by. I'd welcome hearing from any or all of you to insure the existence of an April contribution.
We hope that you and yours have a happy spring. Peace!
