1962

Spring finally made its long awaited appearance, complete with a six-inch April snow storm. Just in time to nip the tulips.

Only about a month or so more to get those Alumni contributions in. John Clark and the crew are doing another credible job this year. So, if you haven't given at the office, give at home.

A nice midnight note from Singapore brought news from Dave and Bonnie French. The latest addition is the third of three girls, Sarah, who joined the clan in February. There may be some hope for the old lefty since both little league and Dartmouth now look with favor upon the "weaker" sex. Dave reports he talked with AndyBartlett in Djakarta last year, but otherwise has been out of touch with the Class. Hopefully, he'll make a few contacts when he visits the States in June or July.

Another of Tony Lupien's stalwarts, CarlJaeger, recently welcomed an addition this past September. Carl and Helen added second son Douglas Carl. Carl and the family are still living in Ardsley, N.Y., from where he keeps things straight fro Time Life Books. Presently, he is working as a consultant for Sterling Manhattan Cable T.V., a subsidiary of Time Inc. Paddle tennis is the athletic activity which Carl and Helen are into for a second year.

Trying his hand at marriage is BruceMacPhail who tied the knot with Ann Pinkerton in March. The credentials are impressive, but we didn't get much in the way of news concerning Bruce. The New York Times reported only that Ann, a print maker, married Bruce, a furniture maker. How about some news, Bruce?

A brother at the bar, George Brannen, made the news in Aurora, Ill., where he was made a partner in the law firm of Reid, Ochsenschlager, Murphy & Hupp. All the releases indicate George has touched all the right bases on the way up, and that he is a shining legal light in the Aurora-Geneva, Ill., area. Keep us posted, George.

A few years back Bob Christgau wrote a rather interesting letter concerning his thoughts about Dartmouth, its "structured social status" and about his thought in general. Bob has been working for Esquire and for Village Voice as a music critic with particular emphasis on rock music. Bob now has a publication out entitled Any Old Way You Choose It, which basically is a collection of the best musical essays he has written from 1967 through 1973. He presently is the rock critic for Newsday and, according to many, is now dean of American rock critics. Exposure in the column might just initiate another critical review of the '62 column, right Bob?

The mail bag was a bit bare this month. Hopefully, you can all pitch in and give the new man a fresh start.
