1965
This column is an easy one to start, for the most significant event in our class' brief alumni history has recently taken place. At their April meetings the Dartmouth Board of Trustees elected Dave Weber a charter trustee for a term of five years, a singular distinction for him and for '65.
Dave, whose undergraduate career was distinguished, to say the least, is currently an instructor of English at Phillips Exeter Academy. Previous to coming to Exeter he was a Woodrow Wilson fellow at Columbia (MA in English—1967) and studied English as a graduate student at Cornell 1967-70. A round of snaps and our heartiest congratulations to Dave, along with our best wishes for a successful tenure in an arduous role.
Our esteemed class president PeteFrederick has pulled out of the New York rat race and now calls Charlotte, N.C., home. He is still with E.I. duPont & Co., in their textiles division.
Another change of scenery involves Charlie Thomson, who was discharged from the Army in October. He has been commuting daily from Amesbury, Mass., to his job with the Treasury Department in Providence, but he, Diane, and their sons are ready to set up house nearer his work soon.
Reb Forte writes that he has recently become associated with the institutional research department of Mitchum, Jones, and Templeton, a San Francisco brokerage house. He and wife Pat live in Moraga, Calif.
The University of Maryland is benefitting from the teaching talents of Ted Muller. Geography is his bag, and he is pursuing a Ph.D. while he teaches. He earned his M.A. at the Univ. of Wisconsin a couple of years ago.
Dr. Kent Salisbury and family are living in Rockville, Md., while he spends two years with the National Institutes of Health. His internship and residency were taken at Mass. General Hospital, and he hopes eventually to return there for work in cardiology.
The rural areas of central New York state are Roger Snyder's desk. He is a Principal Planner with the N.Y. State Office of Planning Coordination; preservation of agricultural land, water resource planning, and mobile home control are some of his responsibilities. He and wife Lee live in Syracuse.
Capt. Pete Yatsevitch is currently serving as an Army intelligence officer in Stuttgart, Germany. Previous to his assignment in West Germany Pete served a year tour of duty in Vietnam, nine months of which was spent as an infantry company commander in the field. One of the highlights of his winter leave in the States was bumping into his old roomie, TuckyMays. Tucky wouldn't divulge any work on his love life, but those in the inner circle expect significant news soon on that subject.
Another of our good doctors, MikeBettmann, is with the Public Health Service on the West Coast. He is a doctor at the federal prison in San Pedro, Calif. Home for Mike and Ellen and their son (a second child will have been added by the time you read this) is Long Beach.
Let me quote from the note of yet another of '65's Public Health servants, Brad Gerrish: "My wife and I are presently on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in Browning, Mont. I am doing a two-year tour of duty with the Public Health Service and working at the 30 bed Indian Hospital here. My wife has become the first speech and hearing therapist in the Browning School System..."
George Rutler, ordained to the priesthood in 1969, has been awarded an Episcopal Church Foundation fellowship grant for advanced theological study, and plans to work in the field of homiletics at Oxford University in England. Last year he did research there under a grant from the English-Speaking Union. Father George was a Rufus Choate Scholar at Dartmouth, received his M.A.T. from Johns Hopkins, and in 1969 gained his S.T.B. with highest class honors from General Theological Seminary in New York.
Doug: and Sue Leitch are enjoying their last few months in Frankfurt, Germany, where he is an army sargeant. Discharge will be this summer, and they'll head back to the U.S. for graduate school then.
Skip Linton, on the other hand, winds up his internship in pediatrics at the Medical Center Hospital of Vermont in June, and will immediately go on active duty with the Army. He and MaryEllen have a 16-month-old son, Mark George.
Congratulations to Jim and JoyceMarkman on the birth of their second daughter, Joanna Elaine, on April 16. Jim is an attorney in Whittier, Calif.
Law and the service have their hooks into Lt. Warner Allen, who is a JAG attorney attached to the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing at El Toro, Calif. His wife, Bonnie, is also a practicing attorney with the Internal Revenue Service. Both are graduates of Williamette Univ. College of Law.
The summer sports enthusiasts among you should take note of the alumni golftennis weekend planned for Hanover July 2-5. A full program of golf, tennis, entertainment and relaxation can be had at a very reasonable rate. Further details appear in an ad elsewhere in this mag.
And finally, don't forget the 1971 Alumni Fund, which is in its last 30 days. The case for the College's needs has been eloquently presented to each of you, and quite simply it's up to us to insure the continuing excellence of the Dartmouth experience. Send your gift in today—each gift is significant and will be appreciated greatly in Hanover.
We hope your spring has been a happy time, and that the summer will be equally pleasant and relaxing. Oct. 23 (at Harvard), Oct. 30 (Yale at Hanover), and Nov. 20 (at Princeton) are big fall dates to keep in mind.
Peace.
