1947

It's always a pleasure to hear news of a '47 family. And the David Stahls seem to be involved in a number of interesting activities. Dave took a two-week "musical tour" on a trip through the Mediterranean last September with his father-in-law and a boatload of musicians. Daughter Susan is a senior at Wellesley and daughter Nancy is a freshman at Brandeis. Tenth grader Sarah and son John, are working hard at Derryfield Day School. Barbara Stahl, professor and head of the Biology Department at St. Anselm's College, had a textbook. Vertebrate History: Problems in Evolution, published by McGraw Hill shortly before the first of the year. How can the Stahls top that in '74?

A Christmas card from LeRoy Davis brings word of his life as a "swinging single." Project engineer for VTN Consolidated, Inc., an engineering firm in Irvine, Calif., the "Bear" has been involved in a study on the pyrolysis of solid waste as a source of gaseous fuel for power production, referred to as the "Garbage Power" project. He also boasts of hair that grows down to his collar and the fact he never goes out with girls over 30.

Our super head class agent Alan Epstein closed out the old year with announcement that he has become associated with Drexel Burnham & Co., Inc., a leading underwriting and full service brokerage firm. Al has been appointed vice president and manager of a new branch office in White Plains, N.Y.

The financial section of the New York Post quoted Bob Gallagher in a story about the effect of the energy crisis on the stock market and business in general. Bob, president of Bayrock Advisors, investment managing arm of Bache & Co., commented in the November interview that he felt the response to the crisis may be overdone. He predicted fewer rapid reactions by the market and foresaw the economy going through "ripples" in 1974, but no recession.

Psychiatrist Ted Clark, our friend, classmate and neighborhood wit, takes his golf seriously. In November, Ted competed in the Pro-Am competition of the World Open at Pinehurst, N.C. He and partner, pro Bobby Mitchell, finished in the money despite - or maybe because of — Ted's efforts at "head-shrinking," as he put it, along the route. Ted and Gail own a "tree house" adjoining the Pinehurst course and have invested in a glorious yellow Volkswagen, Eco One, in an effort to lick the gas shortage.

Among those attending a recent showing of the football highlights, film for 1973 - a fine film, by the way - at a Dartmouth Club luncheon in Springfield, Mass., were DonCampbell and sons, Mark and Jeffrey. Don operates a real estate firm in Longmeadow.
