1964
Weil, the Harvard game has come and gone and, as usual, a good contingent of '64s made it back to enjoy end zone seats. The consensus of opinion among us was that our football team as adopted the Woody Hayes strategy of three yards and a shroud of rust. One happy note was at due to the wet footing, our band beat the Harvard band for the first time this century. (It must have been the cleated white bucks.) Those in attendance were as follows: Judy (big with their second child) and Herb (big because he was keeping in the spirit of things by imitating the Harvard drum) McCord; Gardner Brown and Tom Good who both tolerated me for either forgetting their names or calling them by the wrong ones; Lance Keeler, who has recently relocated to New York City; HarveyTettlebaum, who has not changed one iota - he was kind enough to accept the five dollars I owed him for ten years without interest (just kidding); Bob Cahners, who won a post-game punt, pass and boot contest; and the brass in our class of Bob Bartles, Sandy McGinnis, and RonSchram. Since they were in the end zone too, I didn't take the seating assignment personally. Now for the news:
Hall of Fame: David H. Calder, former fellow at Harvard School of Public Health, will join the Project Hope medical education program in Maceio, Brazil, where he will serve as a public health educator. David received his medical degree from the Cornell University Medical College. Prior to joining Hope, Dr. Calder was working under a training fellowship in tropical public health. He will serve with this Hope program for approximately one year. Don't get stranded in the jungle. A news release from Corning Glass Works reports that Dennis Kundsin has become the manager for Corning Medical-Latin America. Dennis joined Corning in 1968, and since 1975 he has been facility manager for Corning Medical at Palo Alto, Calif. Dennis is a B.E.E. from Thayer and a M.B.A. from Columbia.
General Babbling: Oh, before I forget, it's dues time again. Please send in that sawbuck since as Rufus Potlash said five years ago, "a class with no cash makes you an ass with no class." Don't give me the blues, and drive me to booze, send in the dues so Dartmouth can be proud of yous. Steve Coit sent me a note, "been back to my home town of Norwich, Conn., about three years in private law practice. Recently opened my own law offices here." His wife's name is Toby and they have two daughters, Rebecca, 5, and Marne, 1½. Steve did not tell me if he can fix traffic tickets in that area yet. Fritz Corrigan sent me a thoughtful letter re: his past. Two quick years in Army Intelligence in Korea then joined Cargill (Corn Mill Business) for ten years. I quote: "Assignments in Chicago, Cedar Rapids, Dayton, and now Memphis. Married Glenda Kennedy in November '69. Have moved into three houses in six years and Glenda has been pregnant all three times (whoever thought a new house was an aphrodesiac - whatever turns you on, Fritz.) Cedar Rapids - Amy is five, Dayton - Mary is three, and Memphis - Fritz is five months. Gave up hockey in '67, skiing in '72, and present contemplating giving up golf. 12 handicap refuses to come down. Playing at Colonial C.C. site of Memphis Classic. Have been busy building and managing two corn mills in last two years. Mills produce corn products for paper makers and brewers (Coors and Schlitz are large customers)." Fritz is so into corn, his favorite T.V. program is "Hee Haw."
A late birthmark: Dee and Pete Carney were blessed with their fourth child Michelle last February 16. Other children include Kevin, 3, Pam, 6, and David, 9. Sorry I misplaced this note, Pete. Its been nine months - any more new Carneys to report? I must now quote Bob(Oar) Field's letter since next to my column its probably the biggest literary load in a long time. I quote as follows: "After a bountiful evening of burping, bathing, and bottling, Tibbie reminded me that I had not yet responded to your inquiry and in finest wifely fashion invited me to do so! Well, as you might have guessed, we do have the news that Charles Snowdon Field was born on June 21, 1976. His birth was delayed only by a stalled B&M boxcar in route and an over-excited emergency room nurse who steered a wheelchair into the wall several times and nearly found an open elevator well. Charles was well accepted by his brother (RBF III) until the latter realized that he wasn't going to be going home with grandma.
"Tibbie has, at last, conceeded that 'Nashua (N.H.) isn't all that bad' and now that tennis and needlepoint are finally here, it appears that we'll be staying too. Of course, incidental to the foregoing, is the fact that I enjoy practicing law in the Granite State despite the fact that the executive officer of the Commonwealth of the South promises that 'We'll get ours' (Income taxes). Recently, a Princeton angler angled me to take him fishing in the Connecticut in Hanover (he'd heard of my extensive river savy). I paddled, he fished, and the only thing I caught was the incredulous stare of an Olympic oarsman who I engaged in conversation about the 'good old days,' Well, hope you got some good filler."
Merry Christmas everyone.
