Happy to report a rich collection of items as a result of Alumni Data Sheets included in a recent class newsletter.

A hearty welcome to the growing Sixty-Six family to Thomas Grimes Allen, born December 11th to Joe and Ginny Allen in Worcester. Joe's a partner, specializing in corporation and banking law with Mason, Crotty and Dunn. Ginny is kept busy with Joe IV, 5, and Elizabeth, 2.

Bob and Jan Baldwin have twins - Eric and Jennifer - about one year old and apparently content in Rochester, N.Y., where Bob does commercial and municipal management consulting with Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co.

Dan (Dibby) Boyer, Ute, Skip, 3, and Kim, 1, are enjoying the quiet and peaceful life, away from the city's hustle in, quite naturally, Boyertown, Pa., where Dib owns and operates two laundromats.

Next time you're in Hanover look up Dickand Pietie Birnie just completing a Ph.D. in Geology at Harvard and joining the Dartmouth Earth Sciences Department as assistant professor.

Seventy-four was a good one for Mike andRebecca Bromley - interesting legal assignments with Cole, Hecox, Tolley, Edwards & Hero in Colorado Springs, a trip through the Indian ruins of the Southwest in April, and the arrival of Christopher Michael in July. Hope 75's even better.

Bill Bryan is a special lecturer in Psychology and Consultant to the Counseling Center at Providence College. He's also the husband of the former Connie Horn, Chuck Horn's sister. They married in 1968 during Bill's four-year Army service (he came out a captain). Bill hopes to have his doctorate in Clinical Psychology from George Washington University in hand by summer.

Halsey Bullen is a staff accountant with Haskins & Sells in San Francisco, but his real passion, shared by his wife, Isabel, is sailing. They've got two sailboats, but find time for all the attractions of the Bay Area, including wine tasting. In that activity Bob Dowrie's advice comes in mighty handy. Bob, who lives in San Jose, is an oenologist for Paul Masson.

How are things in the semiconducter industry? "Never dull," according to JohnCalhoun, a division controller with Intel in Santa Clara, Calif. "Seventy-four was a year of rapid turnabout after two years of growth." But '74 had its bright spots for John. He married Peggy H. Smith, a Ph.D. in counseling psychology, who is now director for research of the Center for Research on Women at Stanford.

Hey! Just discovered a potential successor. Jack Christ is associate editor of the Ripon (Wis.) College Magazine and associate director of College Relations. Stay ready, Jack!

Ed Brown has been elected assistant trust officer of Boston's Investors Bank & Trust Company. He received his J.D. degree from Boston University School of Law in 1972 and joined Investors Trust the following year. Ed had worked as security analyst from 1968 to 1969 and served in the Army for two years following graduation. On campus, you may remember, he was active in Band, Glee Club, Symphony, the Barbary Coast and with the Dartmouth, Jack O' Lantern, and Aegis.

Soccer, and people, are still important to BillDuval. He teaches in Essex Jet., Vt., coaches 7th and Bth grade soccer, plays with the Green Mt. Soccer Club, officiates, and, with Barbara, raises Katie, 3, and Eben, going on 2.

You will find Wally Elton at the University of Georgia, as recently reported, but not in the geology department. Wally is Assistant Professor of Geography.

David and Yvonne Freeman and daughters Mary and Ann, live in Eureka, Calif. Dave is chairman of the English department at Fortuna Union High School, and, as an additional occupation, is studying to become an Episcopal minister. Dr. John Freeman, following orthopedic surgery residency at Columbia- Presbyterian Medical Center in New York is stationed at the Naval Hospital in Subic Bay, Philippines, fulfilling his Berry Plan obligation.

Ever hear of James Marsh? He was Dart- mouth, Class of 1817, and the subject of DougGreenwood's doctoral dissertation, which will be a critical biography. Doug's an Instructor of English at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, but in 1971, while a grad student at UNC-Chapel Hill, he was taking an 18th Century novel course. So was Suzanne, now Mrs. G., who's on a full law scholarship at Wake Forest.

What do you find in a Precambrian basement? Ed Grew is currently analyzing the materials he gathered in the Precambrian basement of East Antarctica during the 16 months he spent as a U.S. exchange scientist with a Soviet expedition in Antarctica. Ed's officially a project associate at the University of Wisconsin.

Josh Grindlay is also doing scientific searching. As an astrophysicist with the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory Josh has spent many months in Australia looking for cosmic sources of very high energy gamma rays. He's now into cosmic x-ray sources via a Dutch science satellite. Good hunting.

Another classmate involved in exotic and fascinating activity is Bob Hill. For the past two years Bob, Gerarda, and their two boys have been living in Kabul, Afghanistan, as a consultant to the Afghan government and USAID to advise on the first national census in Afghanistan. Bob's now at SUNY-Buffalo, analyzing the numbers. Bob prepped for this by getting a multi-disciplinary MA and Ph.D. in Neareastern Studies, Sociology and Demography.

Speaking of nose counts, indications are that at least 100 66's will be at our 10th Reunion. One who has sent his regrets is Steve Coles, a marine biologist with Hawaiian Electric Co. That's in Hawaii and about seven thousand miles from Hanover. If you're closer, plan on returning to Dartmouth June 15-17.
