1958

It is that time of year again; time to think of what a wonderful four years we enjoyed in Hanover: time to feel a little jealous because we are not at the College when so many fantastic things are going on, but time to be very proud that we have been and can be part of the finest school anywhere; and time to dig deep into our pockets in support of the Alumni Fund because we do remember, feel jealous, are proud, are a part, and above all, because some of that place rubbed off and helped make us what we are today. Dig deep, for only through our support will Dartmouth stay strong.

Now getting back to class news, the Rev. DaleSarles has moved his family from Valdez, Alaska, to Juneau where he is the Rector of the Church of the Holy Trinity (Episcopal). Dale says that the "hardest moving chore was the moving of my many gallon bottles of homemade wine without too much breakage."

Bob Downey's move was a little shorter. He writes, "Even though our family's move is only five blocks south and one west, it seems an appropriate time to bring you up to date. Nancy and I have two children: Anne, almost 10, and Nathan, 6. I'm with the investment banking firm of Goldman, Sachs & Co. as a vice president specializing in state and municipal bond financing."

Enjoying a very exotic address is Phil Calkins who writes from Tokyo where he is working for Northwest Orient Airlines as manager of cargo sales for the Orient. "Air cargo is my field and after working for the airframe manufacturers for six years finally joined an airline. I'm enjoying the free travel benefits and Ruth and our two boys Brad, 5 and Scott, 2, and I are enjoying seeing all of the Far East. Have not met any 58s here yet."

My one fling with the commodities market cost me a pretty penny and taught me a good lesson. On the other hand Jerry Manne writes from Chicago that he is, "still trading commodities on the Chicago Board of Trade and expect to continue doing so until our Socialistic Government insists on trying to determine prices by decree rather than the free and natural forces of supply and demand. I hedged my bet recently by becoming a member of the Winnipeg Commodity Exchange, largest Commodity Futures market in Canada."

An in that rather controversial Manchester (N.H.) Union Leader announced that Dave Brock has reentered the private practice of law as a partner in the general practice of law. Dave and Sandy live in Manchester. He served as the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Hampshire from 1969-1972, when he resigned his position to seek the New Hampshire Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate.

Dave has been active in community civic and charitable activities, including service as director and president of the Manchester Community Guidance Center, vice chairman of the N.H. Republican State Committee, the Joint Hospital Fund for Mental Health and membership on the Manchester Industrial Council. He is also a trustee of the Holderness School, Plymouth, and the Manchester Boys Club.

Larry Hampton brings us up to date from the Continent. "I was disappointed that there were no familiar faces in the Boston Club group with which True and I and the other Dartmouth Club members had dinner in Paris on November 10. Our Dartmouth group here is small and relatively disorganized, but it was a good evening. We have been living in a Paris suburb called Neuilly since August. Actually I was at Berlitz in Paris in July brushing up my French while True and Joy were in the Baeleric Islands.

"We did a lot of weekendtype travelling in the autumn, including longer trips of four days each to the Normandy Coast (the WW II invasion beaches plus Mont St. Michel) and to Burgundy and Beaujolais (we tasted our way from the bottom of the Cote de Beaune to the top of the Cote de Nuits) and a week on the Riviera. Our second daughter, Brittany Star, was born December 5 in Paris — a bouncing B½ pounds and very healthy. She'll have the interesting situation of dual citizenship until she's 21, when she can choose her passport. Joy, our oldest, is almost 7, missing most of her front teeth, struggling to learn French as her English accent fades and doing well in second grade. For me, business means building a marketing consulting business for Glendinning in France and around Europe. Our offices in London and Frankfurt are perking along nicely and our new office in Paris gives every promise of being just as healthy in time. It's a tremendous opportunity to work with the French and European business community and a lot of fun." I hope they are paying you in francs, Larry. Thanks for the letter.

Till next month, don't forget to dig into those pockets.
