1972
Vermonters are rugged people and February brings out some of the more noteworthy examples of this. For instance, in Vermont on Valentine's Day, Cupid uses real arrows. Some of the oldtimers that still use outhouses say that a Vermont winter can do wonders for your self-control.
Andy Harrison has taken a job with a New York law firm and is personally responsible for pulling NYC out of the hole by donating a month's salary to the city. He reports that Sandy Kryle is an attorney for the Screen Actors Guild in the Big Apple, when not playing the viola for the New Symphony Orchestra. JeffGilman, with a Masters in Geology, has a consulting job (talks with rocks?) in Oakland, Calif., while Dave Mechlin and Jim Coakley toil for ad agencies in New York.
Bill Roberts reports that after three years with Aetna Life, a nice salary, a company car, and an expense account, he left Philly and moved to Chicago with his wife, where he is presently enrolled at Seabury-Western Episcopal Theological Seminary and is a candidate for Holy Orders from the Diocese of Chicago.
Domenic Nardi (Pizza?) left the Hanover Plain in 1970 and enrolled in Johns Hopkins' five-year med program. He is now an intern at Yale New Haven Hospital and hopes to return to his hometown (Springfield, Mass.) as a surgeon. Jim Keim, after roaming the Pacific, has taken a job at an air traffic control facility in San Diego, and is contemplating a Masters program at USC.
John Jurkowich reports that those of us who thought Joe Davis would marry a rock or a beer can were wrong. The Beta Basement refugee married Rhondi Hillstrom in Chicago on December 27. John was best man, and it was even rumored that Dan Holland was going to venture out of the Minnesota North Woods to certify that the union was a reality.
Mike Sack is teaching 5th and 6th grade in in Los Altos, Calif., after receiving a Masters in Education from Stanford. Jim McNally has completed Med School at SMU and is an intern in Dallas. His wife and he (on rare occasions when he's not working) do some ice skating and keep an eye on the SMU swim team.
Jon Einsider, (a Masters in Management from MIT) has taken a position with Chase Manhattan, while his Hanover roommate, SteveShirey, does research at Mount Sinai in The City. Ned Dripps is working for the Volpe Construction Company in Miami. Meanwhile, Senior Class President Bill Pollock, is working for the law firm of Wynne & Jaffe in Dallas, and has often thought of how far away from Hanover he is.
Steve and Kimberly Arndt produced a fledgling hockey player, Daniel Ryan Arndt, on "November 22, 1975. Steve is running a business in Concord, N.H., and carries the puck now and then for the "Concord Budmen." Dick Fieman is set to graduate from U. Colorado Med this spring, and Joe "Smooth" Ferguson will not only graduate from U. Cincinnati Med this spring, he'll do so as a married man. He married Debby Ladd on December 21 in Atlanta. John "Petrocelli" Fieldsteel was best man and Joe Moss propped him up.
Ted Swan informs us that he is in the third year of a four-year JD and MBA program at Northwestern. Ted says he's ready to graduate any time and attributes his ability to plod forward to his wife, Meg Goldberg, who is now working for the Chicago Daily News. Barry Abbott graduated from U. Florida Law where he was a board member of law review, and then headed west to enroll in Stanford Business School, with plans to practice corporate commercial law in the San Francisco area.

The response to the class dues plea has been good and I would remind you that my summer vacation and pension plans depend upon your support of the Class. Seriously, if you gave, thank you. If you didn't, please reconsider.
Ghort still complains about the Vermont winters and even the news that Fred Lynn was named AP's Athlete of the Year couldn't take his mind off it. He told me he'd warm up if I got a cute little trash compactor to keep him company. I did, and now the gears grind late into the night. They better watch their step. They can both be replaced by a barrel, a Hefty Garbage bag, and Jonathan Winters....
