1944
Anyone doubting where the power is, need only reflect on the fact that RodMorgan's appointment as the new Vice President for Administration makes two of the College's eight vice presidents members of the illustrious Class of 1944—Rod and Leonard Bieser. Rod says he's "very excited" about returning to the Hanover Plain, "... the dream," he calls it, "of so many Dartmouth men." It will also bring him from Buffalo to within shouting distance of his two eldest children, Rod Jr. '69, who is teaching at Putney, Vt., and Paula who is living with her husband near Bromley.
I'm not sure of the date, but TomStreeter moved up from executive vice president to president of Haas Securities in NYCity. Tom, who commutes from Plainfield, N. J., is also, among many other things, a member of the executive board of the Friends of the Dartmouth Library. Not surprising: Tom's Dartmouth antecedents and connections are legion. His grandfather, Frank S., was Class of 1874 and a long-time Trustee; his father, Thomas W., was '04 and a noted book collector; and he is married to the former Barbara Brown, who is the daughter of Bancroft Brown, professor of Mathematics emeritus.
That mentally ill plane hijacker who got himself shot in New York January 29 got Gene Kinney's name into the NYTimes. Seems the hijacker was demanding $300,000 he says he had paid to a Fort Lauderdale boat builder for a yacht. The boat builder promptly disappeared and Gene eventually succeeded him as president of the company. In a recent court decision Gene claimed he held a mortgage on the yacht and the judge ruled in his favor. Besides his boat hobby, Gene is executive vice president of Zenith Corp. in Chicago.
The furies of winter finally got to Don Holmes, eastern representative of the Clearprint Paper Co., and he deserted Connecticut for Atlanta, Ga. (actually near Boswell).

In January, Jack Jenness became president of the American Society for Training and Development, a national professional group responsible for developing today's work force through their employing organizations. Jack's steady employment is as director of manpower planning and development for Consolidated Edison Co., of N.Y.
Closer to home, Wemo Epply has moved back across the river from Norwich to Hanover where he's renting. Reminds of the story of the New Englander who was told that his land had been re-surveyed and it was discovered that he had lived in New Hampshire all these years and not in Maine. "Thank God," he said, "I never could've stood another one of them Maine winters. " The older Epply daughter Susan is in photo school in Aspen, Colo., which strikes me as about the nicest place in the world to go to photo school.
Thumbing through alumni folders in Hanover, we And that: Tom Breen lists not one but two insurance firms over which he presides in the Washington, D.
