1970

It's good to be back in print. My thanks to those who wrote to report a variety of good news over the summer. I hope that the letters will continue to come in. In the last column I was able to provide some news about classmates who have returned to the Hanover area, and I thought I would pick up where I left off.

Greg Hemberger and wife June are getting settled in Norwich, Vt., with their two children, Ben now five years old and Gretchen approaching three. The family is enjoying that good, clean air and the outdoors. As Greg expressed it so well, "We're lucky to be where we like to be." Greg is now finishing the three-year apprenticeship period required of architects. Since graduating from U. Penn. School of Architecture, he has been working for the architectural firm of Banwell, White & Arnold in Hanover, doing institutional projects as well as housing and working on solar-energy systems. June has an interesting job with the Lebanon school system, serving as a home-school co-ordinator, resolving a variety of problems and getting the parents more involved in their children's education.

Congratulations go to Doug Karp and to Kathleen Dempsey who were married on Aug. 1. Doug will be finishing up law school and helping the Illinois Commerce Commission with some of its work. Kathy will be continuing her teaching of French and Spanish at the high-school level at New Trier East. Kesang Tashi and other '7os who may wish to congratulate the couple can reach them in Evanston, Ill., by the time this column appears in print.

Pete Logan has survived the California bar exam, that incredible three-day ordeal, in good stead. As he said, he had so much adrenalin flowing through his system that he would be rich if he had been able to sell it all. Pete is hoping to remain in the San Francisco area, where he attended law school, and is looking for a legal job involving trial work. He will be continuing to fall off skate boards, etc., as part of his involvement in the Big Brother program, which he has found both rewarding and a good deal of fun.

Rusty Long reports that "after having assisted my wife, Diane Torrens Jong, with the birth of our son Toby (Ross E. Long III) almost three years ago, I once again shared in the birth of our daughter, Amy Hamilton on Feb. 26." Rusty has finished his orthodontic training at the University of North Carolina Dental School and will remain in Chapel Hill for another year, completing a Ph.D. in anatomy which gives him a chance to do some further research into growth and development areas and acquire valuable expertise in cleft-palate problems.

My cries in the wilderness urging classmates to write were apparently on the same wave length as KDKA Radio 1020, the country's first radio station, where Dave. Graves pretty much runs the show as program manager handling just about everything except the sale of air time. Dave had been creative services director, executive producer, and a variety of other things with WBZ, the Group W station in Boston, before joining KDKA in Pittsburgh. Dave says that it took six years for him to regain in the outside world the position he held at WDCR, thus modestly skipping over the difference in scale between the two operations. When not analyzing program ratings, improving the announcers' deliveries, helping with the choice of records, and overseeing compliance with the applicable federal regulations, Dave can be found traveling around the country searching for additional talent (announcers, writers, etc.). Jim Johnson '6B ably assists as editorial director, having arrived at the station several weeks after Dave.

Finally, under a headline reading, "Jorgensen elected assistant vice president," it appears that Bob Jorgensen has made good at the State Street Boston Leasing Co., Inc., a subsidiary of State Street Bank. If you're financing capital equipment (over $50,000), Bob's the vp to see.
