1965
By the time you read this another admissions season will have ended for Eddie Chamberlain and Co. in Hanover, and many of you will have had your proteges rejected or accepted. Competitive admissions is a very difficult task for any school, and though it is a tremendous advantage to Dartmouth to be able to be selective, it inevitably leads to disappointment for some boys and their families, and for some alumni. But there is no adequate description for the satisfaction that comes from involvement with a student's successful application to Dartmouth, and that satisfaction is available to all of us. More than almost any other college Dartmouth seeks alumni help in finding and evaluating top candidates. This enrollment work is not only an outlet for partison Big Green spirit, but it is a great opportunity to stay in touch with young people and to serve your community. Your local alumni club has an enrollment chairman who would be thrilled to know of your interest in recruiting for Dartmouth, or, if you don't know whom to get in touch with in your area, write the Admissions Office at the College. Think how many of us first became interested in Dartmouth through a knowledgeable and enthusiastic alumnus—now it's our turn.
Just to prove that our class is not categorically over the hill, this note: SvenKarlen recently won the 23 rd annual Fowler Memorial Class C squash-racquets tournament in NYC. He is a broker with Smith, Barney in New York.
Dr. Jeff Carlson was married in mid- February to Miss Catherine Creedon of Dedham, Mass. Catherine is a graduate of the Boston City Hospital School of Nursing, where she is now employed as a nursing supervisor in internal medicine. Jeff has a Tufts Med School degree and is in his residency at Boston City Hospital. They are living in Brookline.
Another winter wedding involved Dr.Richard Miller and Miss Cheryl May (Berkeley), who tied the knot in San Francisco. Cheryl is teaching at the Proctor School in Castro Valley, Calif., and the good doctor is an anesthetist at the University of California Medical Center. He graduated from the Dartmouth and Harvard Medical Schools.
Two of our number recently achieved their captain's bars. Eric Engstrom received his Army promotion while on active duty in Vietnam. He'll be there until the end of* this year. (Eric's civilian bag is law—he has a degree from the Univ. of Chicago Law School). Ed Keible, also now a captain, is in his fourth year with the Air Force, the last three at Kelly AFB in San Antonio.
Bill Bourne writes that he and his bride of almost a year, Rita, are happily settled in lowa City, lowa, where he is a resident in opthalmology at the Univ. of lowa. Bill is a graduate of lowa's med school and interned at the San Francisco General Hospital.
Contrary to what I reported a few months ago about him, Jim Ramsey is not selling insurance, but is a third year law student at the Univ. of Tennessee. He is also working part-time at Oak Ridge on an NSF funded environmental study. He and Kathy have set an NCAA record by having two sons in 368 days—a mark that should stand for awhile.
Kent Hampton is due back in the States soon. He was discharged from the Navy in November and has spent the months since in Stockholm. Romantic news is also expected from him any time.
The campus life of the college professor has been forsaken by Phil Cagnoni for the hectic career of corporate executive, and he's starting on the groundfloor as a director of the Colea Metals International, Ltd. in Colorado Springs, Colo. Phil's particular responsibility at Colea is foreign operations.
Bob Blumenshine is continuing his career as a copilot with TWA, but he is branching out into a partnership in a Peoria, Ill., commodities brokerage house. Oh yeah, on the side he and Syd are operating a successful beauty shop. Bob reports that his commercial pilot's status is still a few years off—by then he will own most of the planes he flies!
Tokyo, Japan, is the current home address for Robbie and Suzanne Cox. He's an Air Force captain in charge of the flight line at Yokota AFB, and is due for discharge next month. After a summer of working for Cox's Inc. in Pittsburgh Rob will enroll at the Environmental Design School at Carnegie Tech.
Mike Lewis is back in the US, but only for six months to learn enough of the Indonesian tongue to head off to the United States Information Service quarters in Surabaya, Indonesia. He's been based in Thailand for three years, and will take his language training in Washington. D. C.
The Spook Millers are having a great time with their son, John, who will be one in July. Spook is a graduate of Dickinson Law School and is on the corporate legal staff of the Armstrong Cork Company in Lancaster, Pa.
At this writing I have seen only a preliminary report on '65's participation in the 1971 Alumni Fund, but the early figures are encouraging. Last year 36% of the class gave to annual giving as we attained 99% of our dollar objective, so we have proven our ability to do our share financially for the College. However, participation is every bit as important as how much we raise—no gift is too small, and certainly every donation is significant. That you give is as meaningful as what you can give, so send your gift to the 1971 Alumni Fund today.
Happy days and peace!
