1960

The mildest of Januarys in some time is nearing its end here in the Northeast. Nary a flake has fallen which must be some sort of record. Even worse, the ice skating has been non-existant except for one brief week earlier in the month. However. I have been able to improvise my exercise schedule by playing 18 holes of golf several times this winter and some of my more adventurous friends have been seen on the outdoor tennis courts. As we all know, the astronauts' landings on the moon have been the cause of this situation.

I received a nice note from Hoby Millington who commutes to his job at Philip Morris from Westport. Hoby has been at Philip Morris for seven years, the last IB months as special assistant to the president. He and his wife are the parents of a two-year-old daughter.

Gail and Lois Warden are out in Illinois where Gail is executive vice president for operations at Rush Presbyterian St. Luke's Medical Center in Chicago.

John Youle is still with the Foreign Service and currently is chief, economic and commercial section at the American consulate in Naples. Sounds like nice duty. Steve Larson is in his third year of OB-GYN practice in Minneapolis. Steve and Cindy have four children but have decided to call it quits since the last birth was a set of twins. The Larsons have just moved to a large house at "Christmas Lake" in Excelsior and would welcome a visit from any classmate who might be passing through town.

Rick Roesch has been with First National City Bank in Thailand for the past two years, but spent part of last summer in the U.S. after visiting Russia, India and Kenya. After having lunch in Bangkok with Walt Fogarty '59, Rick found a box of files in his car ana a note stating that he was the new secretary for the Dartmouth Club of Thailand. Which goes to prove that nobody in a military country believes in elections.

John and DeDe Passeggio are residing in Hewlett, Long Island, where John is practicing dentistry. He has also been elected treasurer of the Rockaway Dental Society and spends his leisure time sailing aboard the "Apollonia." I'm told that she is the patron saint of dentistry but I'm not sure that I have spelled it correctly.

Bernie and Cynthia Doe arrived in Tuscon last fall where Bernie is attending the University of Arizona for one year to get an M.A. in Oriental Studies.

Most of the news in this column came from notes written on the backs of the Class dues forms which Tom Brock has faithfully been sending to me on a regular basis. Keep those card and letters coming in, and use the dues form if you are so inclined.
