1951

This column is being written late upon my return from three and a half weeks away from Baghdad-on-the-Hudson annual tend the American Bar Association annual meeting in my favorite city, San Francisco, and then to vacation in Alaska, the Yukon, and British Columbia. I have some news on classmates in those places, but it must wait until next month since the summer has provided a back-up in the news pipeline.

In the inland portions of Alaska and the Yukon, fall was already beginning to arrive — the deciduous trees (I didn't take biology) were beginning to turn color. All of this is a sneaky way of leading up to reminding you that, just about the time you read this, Upper New England will be in its full autumnal glory.

It's time to return to the fold. By now, you should have received a special Class Newsletter from Charlie Breed providing details on fall class gatherings in Hanover and elsewhere. We start with a Class Executive Committee meeting, to which all classmates are invited, in Hanover at the Breeds' on the morning of the Princeton game, October 14.

Social gatherings in connection with other football games are shaping up as follows: October 21, Brown game, at the Breeds' in Hanover; October 28, Harvard game in Boston; November 4, Vale game in New Haven, a post-game BYOL buffet dinner at Hank Sanders' in Darien; November 11, Columbia game, at the Breeds' in Hanover; November 25, Penn game in Philadelphia, after the Dartmouth Club of Philadelphia post-game "mummy room" cocktail party, a restaurant dinner being arranged by Sam Roberts.

In the course of filing the change of address cards I receive monthly from the College, I became subliminally aware of the fact that many of our medical classmates were moving, including some major geographical relocations, primarily to warmer climates. I decided to nose around to find out whether they were fleeing creditors and/or malpractice suits, achieving affluence, turning to gerontology, or what. A preliminary report follows:

Stan van den Noort is the new Associate Dean of the College of Medicine at the University of California, Irvine. (Not too long ago, Irvine was a ranch in Orange County — that's Nixon Country — .) Stan continues his current appointments as professor of medicine and chairman of UCI's division of neurology. An Harvard M.D., he headed west from Cleveland, where he was on the faculty of Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. Stan served his internship and residency at Boston City Hospital from 1954 to 1960 and was a research fellow in neurochemistry from 1960 to 1962. He is a diplomate of the American Board of Neurology, a member of the American Academy of Neurology, and an associate examiner for the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. Stan and wife June have five children: Susanne, 17; Eric, 16; Peter, 14; Katherine, 13; and Elizabeth, 11.

In New York City, Aaron Rausen has been promoted to Professor of Pediatrics at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. He is in charge of pediatric hematology at Mount Sinai Medical School and Hospital and Chief of Pediatrics at City Hospital Center in Elmhurst, Queens. Aaron and wife Emalou have two children: David, 3; and Susan, 14.

Down East, we have two medics on Cape Cod, AI Anderson is pathologist at Cape Cod Hospital. He and wife Ruth reside in Sandwich. Hyannis bachelor Jim Eldredge practices orthopedic surgery.

We've also got at least two in New Hampshire. Jim Cavanagh is a general surgeon in Portsmouth. He and wife Betsy have a brood of four: Ralph, 20, a junior at Yale; Robert, 18, a freshman at Dartmouth; Jody, 17; and Caitlin, 11.

In New London, Don Clark practices internal medicine and is affiliated with the Health Service of Colby Junior College. He remarried last year, to Emily Edmunds; and they have a daughter Jennifer Ellen born February 26. Don has four children by his previous marriage: Holly, 19, UNH sophomore; Leslie, 18, UNH freshman; Linda, 16; and David, 5.

Winnetka, Ill., widower "Pete" Henderson remarried on June 29, and I'd call it a conglomerate acquisition (a hot inapprapriate phrase to use with respect to the Associate Dean for Administrative Affairs at Northwestern University's Graduate School of Management). New wife Jean contributed three sons and a daughter; Pete, two sons and a daughter. That adds up to a clan of nine, all of whom appear in the accompanying photograph. Many of the Dartmouth family, both '51 and other classes, were on hand for the occasion.

In Pittsburgh, "Jake" Livingston remarried on June 24 and in the process got himself even more inextricably entangled with the Dartmouth family. New wife Susan Parker Georgi, Smith '57 with a Master of Computer Sciences from the University of Pittsburgh, is the daughter of Nate Parker '26 and the sister of his sons Nate '52 and "Pete" '60.

Between them, Jake and Sue have four boys: Jake's Bruce, 16, and Stuart, 14; Sue's Bruce, 13, and Brad, 11. In the extracurricular field, Jake is Scoutmaster to three of them. Also in the Boy Scouts, Class Secretary Russ Dilks is now Council Commissioner for New York's Manhattan Borough.

Every once in a while, I put my foot in my mouth. (It's great exercise!) A few months ago, in the course of reporting Dave Krivitsky's marriage, I referred to his "old task of peddling ladies' 'intimate wear.'" I don't know whether it was his bride's protest or not, but Dave saw to it that I received copies of mid-May reports in the New York Times and Women's WearDaily of his election as executive vicepresident of Beaunit Corp. Dave will serve as general manager of its Textiles Division. He had been vice-president of textiles marketing since March 1971.
