1970

Sorry to have orphaned you all last month - we note that several secretaries on either side of us here are reduced to reciting simply the present whereabouts of classmates, an ignominy to which we will not stoop - yet. Neither do we have such literary devices as nautical metaphor or personification of electrical appliances upon which to fall back, just this persistent case of the editorial wheeze. Actually, Crosby Hall revoked our column-inches last month because we are so far in arrears with our group subscription payment.

So what else is new? Well, Ashly Wingate Tuck, for one thing, second daughter of Susan and Alan, born last July in Vancouver, B.C., where her father acts as regional manager for Cummins Engine.

As coincidence would have it, Alan's old roommate, Phil Gray, is right behind with an update: " ... took advantage of a personnel cut in the Navy to return home to Connecticut as a civilian ... went to work for GAF Corporation. Worked there for about a year, then moved to Trenton in July 1973. Married Miss Carole Farber of Trenton on September 8, 1973. I am presently working for the New Jersey Department of Insurance as an investigator, while my wife is employed in the accounting bureau of the state treasury. Hope to see old friends in Hanover in June."

Bill (Star) Johnson is at this very moment coaching the Dartmouth College lacrosse team in his most recent guise, assistant to Dudley Hendrick.

Glen Arthur Gross, on top of his candidacy for a doctorate in public policy analysis at Pennsylvania (from which he holds a law degree), and on top of his job as a legal analyst with Connecticut's Department of Environmental Protection, has married clinical psychologist (Yale Medical School) Laura Rea Jarett, who is herself a candidate-for a doctorate in her profession at New York University. Laura is a Wellesley College graduate.

Thomas P. Merrick should be in Easton, Pa., according to the J. T. Baker Chemical Company, which has employed him since 1970, first as a laboratory technician, then as an account specialist, sales representative, and now as product planning specialist ... right up the ol' organisation, in other words.

This from Jim Brady: "I am an Assistant Professor of Sociology here at U. Mass. Boston, where I'm teaching Chinese, Cuban and American justice systems, along with an occasional intro course. Finished my doctorate at Cal Berkeley last spring, gasping as I typed the last pages of my thesis on the legal system in the People's Republic of China. Plan to stay on here for a few years and then perhaps return to California, or perhaps to Aspen, Colorado, where my brother and I hope to set up a ski lodge. Was in Hanover in October for a few days - was saddened by a sort of sleepy unconsciousness that seemed to mist over the campus, countryside, and most students. But here and there remained sparks of the old activist vitality of our time there."

Please note that Philadelphia is once again the postal drop. You have only two months left in which to leave an indelible mark in this scrapbook.
