1960

Although the weather was less than ideal, over 75 people showed up at the D.O.C. House on October 14 for the annual post-game dinner. The opposition, if you can call it that, was provided by Princeton, and the game turned out to be an athletic success. The dinner was a culinary success except for the fact that only 75 steaks had been ordered. Thus, Brooks Wrightnour was seen cutting his steak into fourths, and others may have had to share the bounty on their plates. However, I am happy to report that there was plenty to drink for all.

John and Ginny Guy came up from Dover, N. H., where John has recently been named president of the Merchants Savings Bank. He had been an executive with the Amoskeag Savings Bank in Manchester which he joined as an appraiser in 1966. Prior to that, John spent five years with the General Services Administration of the Federal Government in Boston. He has completed many courses in real estate and banking since Dartmouth, which gave him the background the new bank was looking for. John is a past president of the Dartmouth Club of Manchester, has been a member of Kiwanis, Amoskeag Power Squadron, and several real estate associations. The Guys have two children Timothy and Sarah at home in Dover.

Dick and Debby Aronsohn made it up from Hackensack and notified us that their first daughter Elizabeth Ann was born late last July. Denny and Claire Shea came over from Big Flats, N. Y., and TonyRodolakis was up from Hartford. Those in attendance got to see the glorious fall foliage, although the class seats were in the new stands facing away from Balch Hill.

Two weeks later and another gray day in Cambridge. The annual executive committee meeting was held that Friday evening at Gene and Judy Kohn's home, and the minutes will read that the meeting was interrupted by a visit from the local gendarmes. It turned out that ten of us were illegally parked on the grass across the street but were allowed to stay when the police were told that a charity meeting was in progress. Most of the topics of discussion will be aired at a later date, but you might like to know that Al Stowe is trying to organize a class trip to a winter resort and/or a ski trip in late winter. We are also planning four mini-reunions in 1973-74 at the Penn (in Hanover), Harvard, Columbia and Princeton games. Never let it be said that we don't plan ahead. Incidentally, Al announced that he was starting that Monday with Heritage Bank Corp. and that he was celebrating by planning to take a vacation in Mexico after three weeks on the job.

Many classmates found their way to our section behind the columns for the tie game with Harvard. There was some talk of the loss of the Indian nickname but Jerry Nason of the Boston Globe put it best in his prediction of the outcome:

"Our feathered friend, ol' Occum, Sam, Has had to take his tent and scram; Sponged of war paint, cheeks now pale. Unrecognized from here to Yale; Call him "Indian" now you shouldn't (Sam's grandkids did what Harvard couldn't.)"

Jim Nichols sat next to us and told me that he is associated with the Boston law firm of Goodwin, Procter and Hoar, but his area of interest is investment banking. Moreover, Jim has recently been elected Secretary of the Board of Trustees of Boston's Museum of Science. A graduate of Harvard Law School, Jim is currently chairman of the Weston (Mass.) Finance Committee and a member of several professional associations.

Seated next to Jim was Steve Atwater of Marshfield. Steve is with the First National Bank of Boston. Several rows back were Reuel and Maxine Stanley. Reuel has been with IBM since graduation and has recently moved back to Westchester from Endicott, where he will be in charge of several sales and marketing people in the computer division. Seated near Reuel was Peter Robohm. Pete has also been with IBM since graduation and is in the engineering and development branch of the computer division. Tony Roisman, GilStone and their families were house guests of the Kohns for the weekend.

Bruce and Pat Clark made it for the meeting and the game. Bruce now has his own consulting firm after having left McKinsey and Co. John and StephanieGoyette came down from Hanover as did Gordie and Mary DeWitt. However, John got stuck right behind a column and spent most of the afternoon asking what was happening on the field. Don andMary Stoddard were to our right. Don has been named Class Historian, and is hard at work collecting bits of information to be published in a yearbook in 1985 (and that's really looking ahead!)

And even though this is only the first day back on Standard time, I must think ahead and wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
