1963
Barry Linsky climbed out of New York's concrete canyon and to the top of Africa last October, scaling Uhuru Peak on the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro on the Kenya-Tanzania border. Barry was escaping from his senior vice president's office at The Marschalk Company on the Avenue of the Americas. Uhuru Peak is 19,346 feet - three times, I shall note with humbleness, the height of the tallest mount in West Africa which I scrambled up many years ago. Barry is lowering his horizon a slight bit and planning next to attempt Mexico's Orizaba, which is a piddling 18,700 feet and the third most imposing mountain in North and Central America.
Neil Duprey has stopped being a student. His wife JoAnn swears to it. Her recent letter fills in several gaps in our knowledge of Neil's past since he skipped Dartmouth in 1962 for three years in the Army. In the service he managed to squeeze out two years of schooling and a year in Turkey, then returned to Hanover to graduate in 1966. He taught at Orford High School for a year, then joined Hanover High in 1967 as a French teacher. He's still there, active in the HanoVer Education Association and living in Leb. For several summers, he worked toward the master's in language science, finally got it m '73 and promised himself and JoAnn never to spend another summer in school. So last summer he worked as a bellman at the Hanover Inn. "You've got to admit it's a change from being a summer student," JoAnn says. We admit, we admit.
JoAnn wrote all of this on the morning of December 2. Earlier that morning she had just brought forth a daughter, Noelle, to join eight- year-old Michelle and Danielle, 6. The French Connection.
This is a prolific month for writing wives: Taffy Nothnagel, communicating for Jeff from their home in Cohasset, Mass., tells us that Jeff is a vice president for the National Shawmut Bank of Boston, specializing in commercial lending in New York and the Midwest. Jeff is treasurer of the South Shore Dartmouth Club and is doing alumni interviewing of freshman candidates in Cohasset. He also has been treasurer of the Boston Jaycees and has a similar position with the Cohasset Republican Town Committee. He is an avid sailor in the Lightning Class and a director of the Cohasset Sailing Club. In spite of all this activity, Jeff has had time to add Melissa (four) and Jay (one) to his posterity.

Massachusetts General Hospital probably could set up its own Dartmouth Club. Two additions to the staff include Dr. Gordon Weir as an associate professor of medicine and Dr. Michael Rie in the respiratory intensive care unit. Mike advises: "Dartmouth alumni afraid of having a fatal cardiac arrest at next year's Harvard-Dartmouth football game may rest easy. I have organized a mobile cardiac resuscitation unit at Harvard Stadium this year. So far we have salvaged three spectators who would otherwise have died."
What we really need, Mike, is someone to revive the Dartmouth football team.
