1962

Another quick summer in New Hampshire, and now it's time for our annual color spectacle.

John Knight reminds all of us we're not getting any younger when he begins to promote our 15th. Take out the calendar and start making plans for June 17, 18, and 19. That gives me eight months to find a matching hair piece and figure out how to make that '62 sweater big enough to fit. John reports he has checked with the Man and the weather will be super.

A couple of others will also be looking to see you in June. John Clarke and John Walters will be contacting you soon for our reunion-giving program. Even you knew Clarke did a bang-up job last year and our thanks go to all of you for the fine showing. Got a nice note from Steve Serlin the other day. Steve is doctoring in Glens Falls, N.Y., where he specialized in babies and mothers. Steve keeps his Dartmouth ties active by heading up the local Dartmouth Club. Steve also expressed his grief over the recent death of Paul Rowade.

Gene Gasbarro is tearing up his home town. Gene, in addition to his duties as vice president, now heads up all retail and commercial banking services for the Industrial National Bank of Rhode Island and directs all ten of the bank officers in the greater Providence area in commercial lending. Gene has a list of civic credits that would exhaust the column and it does indeed appear that his return home has been quite successful.

The traditional biennial letter came in on schedule from Bob Sprafkin. Bob, Barbara, and the children (Jeff 11, Noah and Neal 6) live comfortably in Syracuse and have an open welcome for Dartmouth friends in the area. Bob is the director of a psychiatric day treatment center for the Veteran's Administration and serves on the psychology faculty of Syracuse University and SUNY Upstate Medical Center. Somehow he has found the energy to be coauthor of a book (Skill Training For CommunityLiving: Applying Structural LearningTherapy, Pergaman Press, 1976) which details a program designed to assist psychiatric patients in living independently outside of institutions. Also on the press is Working With Police Agencies (Behavioral Problems, 1970) which Bob coedited and which deals with the interactions of social scientists and police. That about does it — keep in touch and start cranking out those plans for June.
