1969
News has arrived from several fronts (aren't you glad?).
One of the all-time great names, Flanders Fuenzalida, has been appointed an examiner for operators' licenses and learners permits with the motor vehicle department in Mayville, N.Y. FF's fluency in several tongues will permit some drivers, who previously could not endanger themselves, to now operate the auto of their choice.
From Donald Baird comes a tale telling that he will wrap up his final year at the Medical College of Virginia in the near future. After their graduation from Dart Coll, Don and Bob Beach explored Euorpe via rental car. Don hit the continent again in 1971 to hitchike through the British Isles and northern Europe. Last summer he again crossed the Atlantic for ten all expenses paid weeks in Yugoslavia, where he studied the then current smallpox epidemic. Don has so far managed to elude matrimony.
Bob Beach meanwhile enlisted at Stanford Law following a romantic tour with the Navy and a jaunt around Africa in a Land Rover. Contrary to rumor, he did not marry a Zulu princess to study fertility rites.
Al Denison ("Oregon") reports that he did not stop in Boston last fall because his horn did not work and he felt defenseless. After his four years in Hanover, Orgs picked up an MBA at the University of Washington's Business School. He say's: "Remember the way the most important thing I found out from the math department was that I didn't want to be a mathematician? Well, I found out from business school that I don't want to be a businessman. I hope this doesn't go on forever. I'll probably end up dying and finding out that I'd rather not be dead." So Orgs opened a sandwich shop last summer with his some one dear to him, his wife Martha. He closed it for a winter tour of the country (during which time he did not stop in Boston) and now is back in Port Townsend, Wash. P.O. Box 226. The restaurant will reopen soon. From the picture he sent, the place looks cozy. Try it if you are passing through Port T.
Orgs declares that Jon Swenson married Anne Wilkinson, "or something like that (I always just called her Anne last summer)." Swede roofed last summer and today may be anywhere from Minnesota to Los Angeles. Mike Reider (teaching in Philly) swears he attended Swenson's funeral last year. How about a response, Swenson? For your fans?
Back in academia, Charles Morey picked up a Masters of Fine Arts in Acting from Columbia and has appeared off-broadway in the title role in "Woyzeck" and with Joseph Papp's prestigious New York Shakespeare Festival Public Theatre (no relation to Dan Papp). In addition, he has been cried for nationally on the ABC-TV show, "A World Apart." Recently he joined the National Humanities Series as stage manager for "George Bernard Shaw: Apostle for Change."
As for Bob Shellard, he has been promoted to manager of market forecasting for the CBS network. He tries to figure out how much money will be spent by advertisers in each daypart and how much Shellard/CBS can expect to rake in. Actually, Bob's real desire was to do strike duty on WCBS-FM, but he couldn't convince the AFTRA people to hit the bricks.
A few words have also arrived from CharlesHodgson, who, contrary to the April '73 issue, is not in labor in Wash., D.C., but has actually been stationed there by the U.S. Army. He will be "getting out" (I presume, discharged) on June 1 and then will attend business school at UMiami while simultaneously holding down a graduate assistantship as assistant swimming coach and assistant pool director for that playful institution. Charlie hopes "to get a fantastic tan on my feet."
Charlie also reveals that Bill Rollings married one Kim Castro last December. He was rooming with Bill "until Kim broke it up." Dick Hinman, Charlie says, attends John Hopkins in Phil for a Ph.D.
Bill Henderson has returned from a North Vietnamese prison camp.
