1961
I am sure that all of you are saving up all kinds of good news and interesting views to relate to our classmates during reunion, for it is certain that not very much material has been provided to me with which to create a column. Nothing in my training at Dartmouth or elsewhere pre- pared me for writing something out of nothing although some of my professional colleagues might accuse me frequently of doing just that. But a column of sorts can be pieced together.
Larry Holden, our reunion committee chairman, has recently resigned his position with the U. S. Department of Labor where he was working in the important area of civil rights and labor relations to open a private law practice in Boston. Going in somewhat the opposite direction, BillHutton is using his legal training to teach future lawyers at N.Y.U. In a Christmas card he said that he was enjoying teaching very much.
Dick Marrone, after spending a number of years teaching and picking up advanced degrees in Sweden and Vienna, has come back in time to attend reunion. In the meantime, he is the Dean of Students at Fitchburg High School in Massachusetts and expresses particular concern with the students who have been turned off by school. If Dick has arrived at some solutions by the time reunion rolls around, I am sure that many of us would like to chat with him about his ideas.
When I arrived at the University of Pittsburgh in September 1969, I was delighted to find that Steve Blank was a colleague in the political science department. Currently, Steve is executive director of the Council on European Studies, a consortium of eight universities designed to promote the study of European affairs. Steve's travel schedule is incredible as he shuttles between these eight universities and Europe. I understand that his metabo- lism is still operating several months behind time. This summer while spending a little time at the Jersey shore, I was spraying tennis balls all over the neighboring court, and on one of my dashes to retrieve an errant shot I ran into Tom Judd. Tom lives in Fair Haven and is still working for Bell Labs, in Holmdel. Tom, by the way, is not much better at' tennis than I am. Perhaps we can have a match at reunion.
The Merck, Sharp & Dohme Company of West Point, Pa., has promoted JohnZabriskie to Senior Manager for Pharmaceutical Quality Con- trol. Zabo joined the company in November 1965 as a Senior Research Chemist after receiving his doctorate in organic chemistry from the University of Rochester. He is married to the former Lainie Busch and they have two children, Tina, 5, and Lance, 3. They make their home at English Village in North Wales, Pa.
A nice letter from John Gerrish informs us that he has moved from San Francisco to Stuttgart, Germany, where he is working for Porsche in public relations. After graduating from Tuck, John married a German girl who was working in Hanover, and they now have a boy and a girl both of whom, he gathers, will be able to attend Dartmouth. In addition to thanking JoelHeathcote for the fine job he did as class secretary, John issues an invitation to all who happen to be in the Stuttgart area—especially those anxious to buy a Porsche.
With respect to the above note, what do you think about the coeducation issue at Dartmouth? The College recently sent me the results of a survey taken of a random sample of the alumni and the various class and club officers. It is interesting to note that that among the officers the younger classes, 1960-69, were more in favor of some type of coeducation and saw fewer problems than the much older classes. The survey reveals, if nothing else, that as measured by alumni officer response the products of Dartmouth are not all in one mold on this and many other issues too, I presume. During reunion, there will be the opportunity to quiz each other about this issue, and we will also be able to make our preferences known to segments of the administration and the faculty. By the way. special plans have been made to have the various academic departments at Dartmouth hold an open house during reunion What a great chance to discuss various developments with the faculty.
A news clipping notes that Sam Hughes has joined the National Bank of Commerce in New Orleans as a vice-president in the bank's national accounts division. Another vice-president is Jack Penn. He is also secretary-treasurer. The firm is Arctic enterprises which is cashing in on the desires for snowmobiles and other recreational equipment.
Also in Minnesota are John and Jane Kins. They returned to Minneapolis from Massachusetts, and John is still in hospital administration at Fairview Hospital
" June 18 through 20. That is when our reunion will take place. Plans are being developed, and details are being worked out so that all of us can have a fine reunion. I would suggest that there will be ample opportunity for each of us to have "he type of reunion we would like. Thus, make your plans now to come to Hanover to pursue your interests for several days. Structure and flexibility there will be, but nothing is more important than the people attending.
