1964

Greetings to you from the Convention Capital of the World! I trust that the summer has treated you well, and that you will be inclined to drop me a line very soon with news about yourself and other '64s. The first five '64s who write will receive a nifty official Convention Gas Mask, tastefully embossed in red, white and blue.

Our esteemed leader, Sandy McGinnes, writes that all is well in Boston. Sandy urges that '64s plan to attend the always memorable Dartmouth-Princeton football tilt in Hanover on October 14. '64 and '63 will jointly host a party before and after the game in a tent behind the Sphinx. Plenty of "Tiger meat" and sauce for all hands. Room reservations in the Hanover area will probably be tight, so plans should be made immediately. As a bonus, the Hanover foliage promises to be as resplendent as ever.

Stan Gemborys rates an accolade for being the recipient of an NSF grant to study at the Summer Institute for College Teachers in Marine Biology which was held in Bermuda this summer. Stan, who earned a Ph.D. at Auburn in 1967, works as an assistant professor of biology at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia.

Jay Evans also rates a cheer for his recent promotion to assistant investment officer in the bond and stock department at John Hancock in Boston. Jay lives in Lynnfield, but may be found often at the Boston Yacht Club in Marblehead.

Ed Williams wrote a nice note recently, and announced that the huge plate of fried clams at the Riverside Grill on the Lebanon Road still goes for $1.65. Ed spent the summer in Hanover working in the Dean's Office, and was able to manage some running, kyacking and hiking between trips to the Riverside.

'64 ski team members Frank Hannah,Bob Hiller, Jim Jacobson, and MikeParker joined Ed and 139 other former Dartmouth skiers in Hanover some months ago to honor Al Merrill upon his retirement as ski coach. Al has assumed new duties as Director of Outdoor Affairs for the College.

Frank Hannah is presently teaching mathematics at Phillips Academy in Andover, Mass. Jim Jacobson has moved from New Haven, where he was doing post-doctoral work in biology at Yale, to Athens, Ga., where he will teach at the University of Georgia.

Bob Hiller has a budding dental practice going in Rutland. Bob married Edith Dutch of Rutland, and is the proud father of a baby girl born last March. MikeParker is in dental school at Tufts. He and his wife, Carolyn, have two children and one "on the way." (Now that's a "ring of confidence!")

Whit Miller and Pat Terenzini were

unable to make Al's banquet, but both sent their best wishes. Whit is a lawyer in Shawnee Mission, Kan., and Pat is closing in on his Ph.D. in higher education at Syracuse.

I am grateful to Herb McCord and an entourage of happy Green party-goers who called at 2 a.m. recently to bring us up to date on their activities. Herb has left WCBS-FM radio, and is now selling advertising time for the CBS television network in New York. Herb, his wife Judi, and their almost-human canine, "Moosebreath," are all well and happy.

The most startling news of the conversation came from Dick Couch, formerly Norwich, Vt.'s most eligible bachelor. Dick was finally moved to take the plunge in June, when he married a charming girl named Andrea in San Francisco. '64s bachelor ranks, already badly mauled, continue to thin.

It wouldn't be fair to use that old familiar advertising cry just to make up the necessary length to fit around the photo, so we'll simply announce that Steve Ward has been appointed manager of financial relations in the corporate relations department of Philip Morris, Inc. of NYC. Steve has been with the company for two years, having been previously with Osceola Management Corporation, Ford, and Mobil,

That's about it for the news bag. Please remember to drop a line. News from parents, wives, secretaries and sweethearts of '64s will be appreciated, too. Later.
