1968
The Alumni Fund drive started this month, with John Engelman at the helm. An advance report from John indicated a healthy 25% increase in workers over last year. Why not a similar increase in contributors!
John reports that Tony Choueke married Susan Pressman, started his own import business in L.A. four years ago, and is "going like gang busters" amidst fierce competition. AlThorndike is writing for the Maine Law Review. Dave Peck in Plymouth, Mass., has been recruiting talent for Dartmouth and arranged a glee club concert. Fred Glickman is a Chicago lawyer and Dave Hoffman is finishing an M.S. in applied linguistics at Georgetown University.
From potatoland, Rick Toothman reports that following duty as a navigator of a Navy ship, he returned to Boise to work for the local newspaper, then attended U. of Idaho College of Law where he met his wife Julie, and now makes up one half of the legal staff of the Veterans Administration in Boise. Not all potatoes according to Rick, who loves the local skiing, fishing, hunting, and clean, fresh air.
Bob Thomas is associate director of admissions at Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pa., having completed graduate study at Bucknell. Bob and Beth Aldish (W. Virginia Univ. '73) will tie the knot in May, and will welcome friends passing through Carlisle. Send some of those Pa. ballplayers north, Bob.
Ralph Lazarus and Christine Collins of La Quinta, Calif., were engaged in January with plans to be married this month.Christine studied at the U. of Arizona, and the U. of Copenhagen in Denmark. Ralph received an MBA from Stanford and is an assistant buyer for Filene's, the Boston department store. Judging from Christine's photo in the paper, this buyer knows how to sell too!
Our man in Hawaii is Frank Stech, an Army Intelligence officer for the past three years. He and Claire now have a son and daughter, the latter a product of natural childbirth, with Frank assisting the M.D. (and Claire doing all the work, I'll bet). "Rock Fever" has taken the Stechs to Alaska and the High Sierras on leave, and this past summer Frank had the responsibility for daily preparation and oral delivery of briefings on current military and political affairs, to admirals and generals of the Pacific Command. Frank couldn't find YoshihiroNakamura while in Japan, but found out that he is number 3 man at Resources Division, Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and has been attending energy conferences worldwide. Eric and Mary Stech are living in San Francisco, where Eric has applied his Vietnam Army medic experience in the health care field, first as an ambulance driver, then hospital aide, and now as a hospital manager. In between saving lives, Eric has earned a masters in English (high honors) at San Francisco State. We hope GaryHprlick won't get kidnapped as he covers South American business for the Ford Foundation. Dirk and Joyce DeRoos, who reside in Omaha, Nebraska, with three little ones, made the trek east for the Harvard-Dartmouth ball game last fall and encountered Noel Augustyn and Steveand Susan Carley. Dirk and Joyce are planning a repeat performance next fall - we'll plan on a victory.
I had lunch with Captain Burt Quist, USMC, happily entrenched with his rugged associates at the Marine Corps Recruiting Office in Cambridge, Mass. Burt and wife Cathy live in Framinghham, where the latter is pursuing her career in nursing. Now go back and read my opening paragraph!
