1965

By the time you read this another of our classmates may have copped an Oscar, or two. A pair of DeWitt Jones' films have been nominated by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences: John Muir's High Sierra is one of five nominees in the category of documentary films-short subjects; his Climb is one of five candidates for the best live action short film. The Academy Awards will be presented on April 8. The cry in Hollywood soon may be "Break up the '65 filmmakers."

Dave and Donna Blaine have welcomed Ryan Davis into their fold. He was born on January 22 and weighed in at a healthy ten pounds. Their other child Meredith is nearly three.

Robert G. Murphy moved in February to Hanover where he is now assistant vice president at Dartmouth National Bank. Murph earned his M.B.A. at Columbia in 1967. That same year he went to work for Chase Manhatten, was elected assistant treasurer in 1970, and second vice president in 1972. The Murphy family includes wife Donna; Scott, 6, and Andrew, 2; and Corinne, 1; and their Hanover headquarters have been set up at 2 Butternut Lane.

Xerox Corporation has named Joe Picken manager, financial planning and analysis, for their Dallas information systems group. Joe, Dee, and their two children live in nearby Piano.

Dave Perinchief has become quite a civic mainstay of Mt. Holly, N.J. Chief is director of Perinchief Chapels, the fifth generation of his family to operate this funeral home which was established in 1834. It's a wonder he finds time to wake or bury anyone: he's a member of the Board of Education, is on the vestry of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, is president of the local Rotary Club and the Burlington County Funeral Directors Association, and has just been made a director of the Burlington County Trust Co.

Good news for the Ned Greeleys. Their second child, first daughter, Erica, was born on December 27 in Nairobi, Kenya, where Ned is doing social anthropological research.

Ken Behar, a former assistant attorney general for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, has begun a private general practice of law with an attorney general's office colleague. The office of Behar & Kalman is on Beacon Street in Boston.

Tuck Mays has been appointed product manager of the consumer products division of Cutter Laboratories, Inc., California marketers of a line of outdoor products including insect repellents and snake bite and first aid kits. Tuck earned his MBA in marketing and finance in 1970 from Columbia School of Business and says, "... we plan to to dramatically expand both consumer awareness and retail distribution of our products."

The January 30 Valley News (Lebanon, N.H.) carried a feature article on Jim Griffiths, owner and operator of the Whaleback Ski Area (formerly Snowcrest) in Lebanon. The 1974-75 ski season is Jim's sixth year of operating the area, and each has been better than the last. Next time you strap on the boards why not head his way.

The plans for our Tenth Reunion in June continue to move along smoothly. One of the items of business which we must take up at that time is the approval of a class executive committee to be presented by our nominating committee. As chairman of that nominating committee I earnestly solicit your suggestions of classmates we might consider. Thanks.

Happy spring, and Peace!
