1965
This time of year (I'm writing this in late August) always brings with it a clear and simple reminder that summer is nearly over and that fall and a new school year are upon us - today Palmer C.D. Wooglin's prediction for Dartmouth's 1973 football season arrived in the mail Our peerless swami of gridiron gazing says, and thus the word is, 6-3 and, alas, no trophies, Ivy Lambert or otherwise. (I know that this prophesy sticks in some craws, but recall, please, that Woogie's last two prognostications of 8-1 and 7-2 were off the mark by only a tie in 1972.) He alsd wrote that Big Green fans are spoiled and will probably be unhappy with this record - "6-3 is a hell of a season; Harvard has had only three seasons better than that since formal Ivy play began in 1956. Let's count our Blackman Crouthamel blessings."
Per usual the '65 mail piles up in the summer months. Unlike most of this country's newspapers, we have much good news:
Word from the Air Force is that Captain Ward Hindman has graduated from instrument pilot instructor school at Randolph. This followed six weeks of training in navigation and flying in preparation for duty as a flight examiner and instructor for jet and turboprop pilots. He returned to Vance AFB. Okla., to serve with the Air Training Command Ward is a veteran of nine months in combat in Vietnam and holds the Air Medal. There is also rumor of marriage to Norma Chavez of Laredo, Texas.
Dick Bernstein wrote from Barrow, Alaska that he and Elizabeth had their second set of twins in June surely a class record of some son Their tribe now numbers four, ages 4 years and 4 months. The Bernsteins are back in Burlington Vt., where Dick is doing a residency after the two year Public Health Service stint in Alaska.
The title on the door reads "2nd Vice President Corporate Lending," but the man behind the desk is none other than good old Bob Murphy, now in his sixth year with Chase Manhattan in New York Bob and Donna expect their third child this month. Murph had news of other classmates: Walt Harrison is with the financial management firm of A.W. Jones & Co. on Wall St. and lives in North Tarrytown, N.Y. Jake Miller is in Milwaukee with the Marine National Exchange Bank.
The new president of the Burlington, Mass., Javcees is Jack Heidbrink (he's also a mainstay of their softball team). He finds this organization a great opportunity for community service and for staving young (its' ranks are restricted to young men 18-35).
Bob Koury is the controller of Miller & Smith Co., a McLean, Va., home building firm. He's also recently qualified by exam as a CPA and a Certified Data Processor. All this and rugby too, with the George Mason Rugby Football Club.
Bob Ernst and Miss Nancy Dolan were married in June in Elk Grove, Ill. They're living in neighboring Arlington Heights. He is an executive with United Air Lines and Nancy is a senior at Harper College.
Vassar College has promoted Greg Fahlund to the position of Assistant to the President. Previously Greg has been Dean of Freshmen (Freshpersons?). He continues as an assistant professor of political science.
John Pickell's Widow, now remarried as Mrs. Karen Samuelson, is living in Meriden, N.H.
The University of Miami has awarded a Ph.D. in Marine Sciences to Stormy Mayo.
On a sad note, we have learned from DanHutner's parents of his death in Miami. At this time we know none of the details; an obituary will appear in a future issue of this Magazine.
Here at home in Exeter I have become Phillips Exeter's Director of Alumni Affairs, a welcome change from the world of fund raising. Also still moonlighting as a basketball coach and a dorm master, so all of my hats stay well dusted.
All for now. Linda and I hope to see many of you at one or another gridiron site this fall. In the meantime, happy days and peace.
Secretary, Cilley Hall, Exeter, N.H. 03833
