1959
With the Olympics behind us and the elections in front of us, let's hope you had a good summer season. Of one thing you can be sure: we should all be proud of the class performance in the 1976 Alumni Fund drive. We garnered $38,189 — a figure six per cent over a very ambitious goal and new class record. And this was achieved from less than 53 per cent of the class. (The fund, in total, collected from slightly less than 58 per cent of all living alumni.) Much credit should go to Mike Hellman for directing the effort better than had ever been done before; Randy Malin for his counsel and key contributor contact; and the members of your executive committee who continue to serve as regional class agents. The fact that our committee is spread across the country has made it possible for that kind of support. Again, congratulations to all. If, for some unforeseen reason, you forgot to contribute this year, you can still send your donation to the College — the tax deduction will be for calendar 1976, although the crediting of the contribution won't be until 1977.
A request to help a classmate: according to Ed Hobbie, Pablo Lozano is looking to relocate to Canada and would very much like to receive any information on job opportunities. Pablo has worked specifically with computer programming, but he is flexible enough to consider other alternatives. Call or write Ed in Westfield, N.J. - he has Pablo's resume and other information. Here is a simple way of helping a classmate — especially one who has demonstrated his dedication to the College - having travelled all the way from Peru to come to a class reunion!
Last fall we put out a plea for information and received about 30 or 40 responses. None of that news was published since there were other items that had been around longer. So, starting with this issue, I am going to be publishing news that will be up to one year old. So, to those about whom I am writing, if there have been changes since, I apologize. But do drop us an update.
Maybe Dick Schneider knows someone in Canada to help Pablo out. Although I must admit that Dick's professional interests appear to be a little different from Pablo's. Dick is an assistant professor of medieval history at York University, in Downsview, Ontario, having earned assorted degrees from Princeton and Columbia, including one in musicology. As of last fall, he was working on his Ph.D. while his wife Lisa was in the process of adding a fourth child to Wolfgang, Petra, and Cyril.
Louis Lazar continues to count money for The New York Times as director of finance. But with his charming wife Ingeborg and son Andreas, he is quickly distracted from the business of the day to some of his more mundane outside interests - hiking and skiing and... fox hunting! In Manhattan!!
Larry Friedricks is president of his own worldwide film distributing company. That, coupled with being a student of history, a travel freak, and a tennis buff, makes his wife Martha most happy. And we thank her for bringing us up to date.
Wayne French, my predecessor in this job, has by no means dropped out of the Dartmouth scene, being very active in Alumni Fund work and attending at least one football game every fall. Wayne is an assistant vice president at Bankers Trust in New York.
On the other hand, John Lampe and his wife Carolyn are a husband-and-wife teaching combination at Southwest Texas Junior College — he in government and history, she in Spanish. After Dartmouth, John got his MA in political science at the University of Chicago, and he has done some graduate work toward a Ph.D. at the University of Texas in Austin. It looks as if John may have a banner year when it comes to outside interests: he supports the Democratic Party and loves square dancing. The stars say that November's gonna be your month!
Lee Wilson sent a lengthy but newsworthy letter about his activities, not only as an attorney-at-law, but also as general counsel for the New Jersey Psychological Association. As such, he is dealing with the application of law in psychology — "a fertile area... to isolate and dispatch prejudice." Of significant note was Lee's visit to Hanover last year for the first time in ten years. "I recommend it to the members of the class; it was a most moving and rewarding experience." When you see Lee at one of the football games this fall, be sure to ask him about the trip.
John Waldrop reports, with some remorse, that he has left the New England scene for Grand Rapids, Mich., due to a company transfer. However, when one is the executive vice president of a national custom fabricator of conveyor belting, where else would one want to go, but somewhere near Motown. John is urging some midwestern class activities; so, John, you and Mike Tighe in Chicago, our midwestern executive committee member, ought to get together and set something up.
Bob Chuinard advises that his major interest in life is hands! That's right, folks — hands. Seriously, Bob is an orthopedic surgeon in Sacramento, Cal., with a subspecialty in hand surgery. This is all after University of California medical school, two years with "Uncle Sam's Mighty Military Machine," pre-med at University of Puget Sound, and medical degrees from the University of Oregon. Now there's a Northwesterner!
