1965
As I write the copy for this month's Mag, the 1972 Alumni Fund is still a month away, but our new Class Agent SteveWaterhouse has already been hard at work establishing a network of assistant agents which will enable '65 to continue to improve its Alumni Fund performance.
You'll, recall that last year we had 293 donors (40% participation, the best for us in three years) and surpassed our goal with $8,551 (an average gift of $29). This year the class executive committee has set $10,000 as a goal, and we are anxious to push our participation index as high as we can. The solicitation will be personal, and will be conducted on- a regional basis, so you'll be contacted by someone from your own area. In addition each of you will receive informative mail from Steve and the College. This has been a year of monumental, but difficult decisions for Dartmouth; now that the decisions have been made it is important that we close ranks and support the College.
In addition to Alumni Fund contributions, your ideas about the College and the Class, and news about yourself, is sought. Your ideas, your criticism, your enthusiasm, and your financial help are all crucial to Dartmouth and to '65.
On February 19, Stu Deane was married to Miss Nancy Coffey of East Hartford, Conn.
Ed Holmes, formerly director of public relations for the First Pennsylvania Bank in Philadelphia, has been appointed director of public information and advertising for the State of Pennsylvania's Department of Commerce. He and Merilee have recently moved to Hershey.
Another state appointment, this one in Connecticut, involves Herb Carlson. He was sworn in this winter as assistant prosecutor of Circuit Court 16. He becomes the first person to hold this position full-time since the circuit court system was organized in Connecticut 12 years ago. He is also associated with the law firm of Erickson, Politis. Gleason, Cavaliere & Mazadoorian.
Dr. Mark Brodkey is currently stationed at the U. S. Navy Hospital in Chelsea, Mass., after having spent a year with the fleet aboard the U.S.S. Newport News.
Another of our medics, Phil Bryan, is associated with the Department of Urology at the University of Virginia Hospital in Charlottesville. He's a graduate of UVA Med, and interned at Boston City Hospital.
Jack Herney has firmed up plans to take a leave of absence from Exeter next year to join Senator Tom McIntyre's (D-N.H.) staff full-time. His immediate concern in the summer and fall will be the Senator's re-election. Incidently, by joining the McIntyre team Jack will become a colleague of Larry Smith, McIntyre's administrative assistant, who was a member of Dartmouth's history department during our undergraduate years.
I hope the brevity of this column speaks for itself. This is the third short column in as many months—I don't manufacture the news, folks, just report it. Let's hear from you.
Happy days, and peace!
