1959
Clee and Butch Priest, Janice and ChrisCundey, Kate and Bill Duggan, and Joan and I were in Hanover May 4-5 for Class Officers Weekend, 1973 production, and were again stimulated just by being there. Matters appear to be well in hand with no unusual problems or reactions to report, although it does take some time to get used to the greater feminine presence and the increased amount of traffic in town.
Dick Hoehn was unable to attend due to naval reserve duty but he was there in spirit. Butch will report more fully on the state of the Class via a letter to the entire class shortly.
Bob "Celooz" Celusniak, our newly-appointed reunion chairman, was with us, along with his wife Abby and he assured us that our 15th Reunion to be held June 14-17 next year will be a memorable event. So mark the date and plan on coming to Hanover then.
It's a small world Department. After attending a local Dartmouth club meeting at the Saddle Brook, N.J., Marriott Motel, John Wardrop and I decided to have a beer and watch the end of a Knick-Celtic game, whereupon John spotted TedIzzard who explained he had just joined Frito-Lay in Dallas and Was visiting some of the company's Northern New Jersey plants. We had a pleasant time recalling the old memories, and agreeing that time had been pretty good to us. After a six-month Army career, Ted worked in New York and Kansas City in public relations before joining a vending machine concern which sent him to Japan. A wife and two children were added along the way. Ted mentioned seeing Jay Kerpel at a Dartmouth Club of Tokyo gathering. He expects to return to Japan by the end of this year to head up a new operation based in Tokyo.
Bob Carter joined the Georgetown-Inlan Company, an urban development subsidiary of Inland Steel, and moved from the Chicago area to Washington, D.C. He finds being manager of project planning very challenging and quite a change from working on the development of an inner" city shopping complex on Chicago's west side. Bob discovered his roommate Ron Farnan in nearby Bowie. Md„ and they get together occasionally.
Ray Becker has been named an Alfred P. Sloan Fellow by M.I.T. Manager of administration and data processing at Raytheon, Ray will take a 12-month course leading to an M.S. in management. He has been with Raytheon since 1965 in management positions with the missile systems division in Bedford, Mass. Home for the Beckers, including wife Rita and daughters Lisa and Cathy, is 4712 Stearns Hill Road, Waltham.
After being a resident in Boston's University Hospital, a psychiatric fellow at Boston State Hospital and chief resident at University Hospital Psychiatric Clinic, Dr. Dave Viscott now has a private practice. Also prior to hanging out his shingle, he taught at Boston University Medical School and served as senior psychiatrist and consultant for the State of Massachusetts, and somehow found time to write books dealing with his profession and life in a state mental hospital.
A note from Pablo Lozano, who is with Marcona Mining Co. in Lima, Peru, surfaced from the mailbag, in which he wished the Class a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. To paraphrase a well-known fourth estate saying, we print all the news that fits, it just takes a little longer. Please accept Pablo's greeting and my apologies for its untimeliness.
After returning from Peru, Scott Palmer received his Ph.D. from Cornell in January, 1973 and is now an assistant professor of government at Bowdoin. He and Sally and their two boys, Walter and Crawford, live in Bowdoinham.
John Wardrop has heard from Wayne Skeen who has left the ski business and formed his own company in Winnetka, Ill., which sells tennis clothing in 12 states for the two most prominent manufacturers in the country. He reports sales are great and the potential is out of sight. Tennis and jogging, not to mention keeping up with three wild and wooly kids, are his ways of fighting the weight battle. And Wayne is studying the guitar from the. ground up in between his frequent travels With the family and trips keeping up with his many other business activities.
The Alumni Fund campaign ends June 30 and there is no need for me to repeat the reasons why Dartmouth is relying on us for financial support. I sincerely hope each of us will do his part to help the Class meet its share of the Fund's goal.
That's it for this year. Have a pleasant summer and I'll see you next fall.
