1970

In the last column I had mentioned that Bob Jorgensen had been promoted to assistant vice president at the State Street Boston Leasing Co. Since space was tight, the editors held the rest of the information on Bob for this column. It seems that along the way Bob was able to pick up an M.B.A. at Boston University and served as a loan officer with Marine Midland Bank in Boston before joining the people at State Street as a senior account manager. SAE fraternity brothers are advised that Bob's dog Atha is still alive and doing well watching over the place which Bob, Rocky Nagle, and Don Johnson '69 have been renting in Beverly Farms, Mass.

Rocky had come east after two years in Ann Arbor, Mich., working with Cyphernetics, a division of Automatic Data Processing. Rocky was given the responsibility of opening up their Boston office and has been running it ever since, selling time on the computer and the various financial planning programs for corporations to go with it. Rocky expects to be able to take some time off for camping and skiing in Austria before long and then perhaps to put his marketing background acquired at Tuck '72 to use in his family's paint company based in Buffalo N.Y.

Also making use of skills acquired at Dartmouth is Lou Young who is living with his wife, the former Mary Grimand, not far from the famous golf course of Pebble Beach, Calif. Lou had spent four years with the phone company in Pennsylvania after meeting Mary who had served as a nurse at Mary Hitchcock. Both are pleased with the move to beautiful California. Mary has been assistant director of nursing at the nearby hospital and Lou has what sounds like a perfect job at the Robert L. Stevenson School, a co-ed secondary school in Pebble Beach, coaching football and lacrosse and teaching algebra, geometry and computer science. (Lou taught the kids Basic, of course.) When I spoke to Lou he was really pleased with his undefeated football team. The team, which is a small one, is in a tough league playing some "big farmers from the Valley" and was expected to finish in last place before the season got started. Way to go, coach!

Another happily married guy is Dr. DixonTurner. He and Monique have been married for four years already and are now in Philadelphia where Dixon is finishing his residency in pediatrics at the Children's Hospital and Monique is busy continuing to make use of her laboratory skills. The couple may well be on their way to England on an exchange program with a London hospital, where Dixon would serve in a position equivalent to that of an assistant chief resident in the States.

When he graduated from Dartmouth, Chip Sharkey knew little more about actuaries than I did until I talked with him over the phone. Chip started with the well regarded Connecticut General Life Insurance Co. about seven months after graduation and after working in various departments got into the actuarial end of the business. In the meantime Chip has successfully passed the ten nationally supervised examinations required for certification. Obviously no small feat. Chip has found working conditions to be good and continues to be pleasantly surprised at the diversity and interesting backgrounds of the people with whom he has come into contact through his job.

Finally, off and running is Bill Quinn. Bill, a member of the Massachusetts bar, is a partner in the firm of Quinn, Savory & Merry. He and his wife, the former Janet Haynes, live in Salem, Mass., where Bill has been active as a member of the community school committee for the past four years. Bill is hoping that he will be able to continue his active service to the community as a state representative from the Eighth District. I say "active service" because it seems that over the last few years Bill has been a member of the Salem Council on Aging, chairman of Heart Fund and Muscular Dystrophy drives, president of a neighborhood association and a member of the board of directors of Historic Salem. Judging from the newspaper article I received from the alumni records office, it seems that Bill has not ducked the tough issues of the day and has taken clear stands on issues ranging from the quality of education to problems with the criminal justice system.

Would be happy to hear of anyone else who has decided to seek elected office or other means of service to the community.
