1962

As is true everywhere, N. H. has more than a passing interest in environmental planning. Perhaps it would be wise to have Neil Drobny spend some time here. Neil addressed the Water Resources Conference at the American Society of Civil Engineers on the problem of environmental planning. Neil is highly qualified, having pulled down three engineering degrees while at Dartmouth, capturing valuable experience as an environmental planner at the Columbus, Ohio, Laboratories of Battelle.

It may even deserve a "Give a Rouse" (part of the new image), but it certainly deserves mention here. The American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers has announced that Mahlon Apgar will receive the Arthur A. May award for his article, "New Business from New Towns," published in the Harvard Business Review. The article deals with a comprehensive economic analysis of a group of the best-known new towns in the U. S. Sandy is associated with the London office of McKinsey and Company, Inc. and specializes in corporate strategy and organization in the urban development field. He is also a visiting lecturer at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. It's easy for Sandy to take his work home, as Anne has similar interests, having worked as a program analyst for the New York City Model Cities Administration.

Not to be outdone was Bill Bassett, who married Pamela Lothrop in June down the road a bit at New Hampton, N. H. No word on what Bill is up to, but we do know they were last seen headed for Jackson, Wyo., which will be home.

John Coe was last seen in New Hampshire where he spends his time as assistant dean to the College of Liberal Arts at the University of N. H. Somehow he managed to gain fame in Texas where his musical score for the comic-fare "The Tortoise and the Hair" was a hit at the Waco Convention Center. Judging from the review, it is John's music that really "stars" in the production.

The memory lingers on. Don Samuelson has asked that a special few of you be given credit for the reunion effort: DickHoffman for convincing Don to participate and for developing an elaborate regional party and postcard apparatus. John Mussman and Paul Rolwade for collaborating on the Superstar poster (to which a few of you objected). Gordi Williamson for the reading list (to be expanded for the 15th). Chuck Church and Bob Katz for "Personal Values Reconsidered." Ted Cantril and Tom Boudreau for the questionnaire. John Schiffman, Jay Pierson and Mike Slive for heading up the mechanical aspects of the Reunion. John Walter for the picnic. Gordi Aydelott for the Bema dinner. And from all of us to you Sam, well done.
