Well, here we are again at the farewell issue of the year. I've generally not been pleased with the columns this year because of the dearth of news—hopefully next fall will bring more correspondence, much more news, and better journalism. I do appreciate very much the cards, letters, and calls I have received.
As I write the copy for this column we are one month into the 1972 Alumni Fund, and '65 has much of which to be proud. To date (May 1) we have 163 donors (81 more than last year at this time) and $4600 (nearly 40% of our goal, and $2,550 ahead of last year). Let's keep it up through June 30, the end of the campaign.
News from Neil and Rebekah Grossman of Wayland, Mass., that they had their first child, Adam Ethan, in February. Neil is in the food business in Boston. I don't know enough to be more specific.
Dave Feldshuh has been named an associate director of the Tyrone Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis. He recently directed that theatre company's musical production of Fables Here and Then, which toured the Midwest. Dave's duties as an associate director will involve the selection and casting of plays as well as further directing projects. In addition to his work at the Guthrie, he is teaching at the University of Minnesota, where he is also pursuing a Ph.D. in drama, and is the creative director of a Minneapolis firm production company. His latest effort for the latter, a film entitled "The Director," won a merit award at the Chicago International Film Festival.
Yet another of our number has risen to prominence and prosperity. Jay Johnston has been elected president of Industrial Synthetics Corporation, a Chicago firm specializing in the manufacture of chemicals for the construction industry. He had been general manager of the company.
April 8 was the wedding date of StormyMayo and Miss Barbara Shuler of Tallahassee, Fla.
Ed Keible is terrorizing Harvard Business School, but in a much different way than he used to intimidate Hanover and Cosmo Iaccavazzi—he is the top student in his B school class of over 300. Ed and Tina live in Brookline, and she toils for Paine, Webber.
The Public Health Service loses the services of Dr. Iggy Knox this month,and the event will be celebrated with great gusto by a cadre of Big Greeners at the Knox household in Maryland. They'll head back to Boston soon for Iggy's residency.
After a long absence of any news I'm pleased to report that our good friend Palmer C. D. Wooglin is back in circulation. He is running a submarine marina in Newport, and, with that business being very slow, he has founded and directs a rehabilitation program for dirty old men. The rumors, that Ivars Janicks and Tuck Mays are under treatment there are not true.
That's all for now and for this school year. Our wish is that you and your families will have happy and prosperous summers. Happy days and peace.
