1957
As the man said, "Everybody's got to be someplace!," and you could do a lot worse than Colorado, especially if you are into skiing. As we noted last month, Bob Sproull, the Scarsdale transplant, is in Aspen running Jake's Restaurant. Then there's Pete Stone, who owns and manages Prospector Lodge, the oldest lodge in Aspen. Pete says the most interesting aspect of his job is skiing and meeting stimulating people who return to his lodge! Although Pete has a B.S. from the University of Utah, one secret ambition is to return to the College and graduate. Pete is president of the Aspen Lodging Association (80 member lodges), and is a director of the Aspen Chamber of Commerce and the Aspen Resort Association. Wife Ruth owns and operates The Children's Playshop (pre-school), paints in watercolors, oils, and acrylics (the latter are for sale), and plays the autoharp and the piano. The Stones have two children - Todd (7) who "just might be Dartmouth material," and Melissa (5) who is "Big Eight material." Pete's plans for the future are to "hang in here as a father and husband, innkeeper nkeeper and responsible citizen." And, to ski!

From down Athens, Tenn., way comes word that "Zeus" Stevens is a hospital administrator with the Hospital Corporation of America, and manages the Athens Community Hospital. Zeus has a masters in health care administration from Trinity University in San Antonio, Tex. Before settling in Athens, he spent four years with Proctor & Gamble and another four years with the Glendinning Companies.

Joe "Jose" Lane, the Lookout Mountain, Tenn., wonder, is president of his family's hosiery mill in Cleveland, Tenn. I gather from a mutual friend with whom I fished for salmon in Iceland not too long ago, that Jose is working hard and generally behaving himself. With wife Pat and five kids, he'd better! Joe does find time to work for the College - he is a past president of the Dartmouth Alumni Club of Chattanooga - and he is active in the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce and the JC's. Jose also gets in a bit of golf, tennis, and fishing. The Lanes live on Lookout Mountain.
See you next month - if I can get enough gasoline to make it to the postoffice.
