1966

Now Bill Koelsch has posed a question make that a good question. He has asked why our 10th Class Reunion (the one marking ten years - 120 months - since our graduation from Dartmouth) is not being held this year.

The easy answer is that it was held last year, nine years after graduation. I will defer to wiser theoreticians for any more complex explanation of the issue.

Bill, can, however, be excused for his confusion. Living and working down in Rio (is that a movie title?) Bill wasn't aware of our quick 10th celebration. He is, in fact, coming back to the U.S. this summer, disappointed that the Reunion can not be on his agenda, but overjoyed that he can introduce Marilia, whom he married last August, to domestic friends and relatives.

Everybody seems to be jogging, or more correctly, running. Al Ryan went out and broke his own personnal amateur record with a 2:54.17 clocking at the Maryland Marathon. By now Al has blazed across the tape at the Boston Marathon.

And John Harbaugh not only trots around Brooklyn's Prospect Park, but he writes articles about the experience for the local Park Slope paper. Which is natural, since, between sprints, John is an English teacher at Bishop Ford High School. John's latest success is a 90-minute effort in the annual Brighton Beach 12-mile marathon.

Josh Grindlay did it. Under, the pseudonym Dr. Jonathan E. Grindlay of Harvard he was cited by The New York Times as the first scientist to detect unusual celestial signals coming from the constellation Scorpius, 30,000 light years away. A team from MIT and others have investigated the X-ray energy emissions, recorded by various satellites. Frankly, I can't understand the article (March 12, Page 66), and I'd appreciate a layman's (or Daily News) explanation.

Don Graves took time out from his eastern sales manager duties at Filon to send the clipping along, and report that Josh's old Kappa Sigroommate Dick Naylor is conducting geologic oil surveys in the South Pacific.

And Jim Season is senior financial analyst in the Corporate Financial Planning Department of Exxon - and likes it best of three recent jobs. "It's where the action is." Jim's putting both his Michigan MBA and his Virginia Law Degree to work.

Jim's also one of the many members of the class working on the ever-important Alumni Fund. The dollar goal of the fund has more than doubled in the ten years we've been out, and our own capacities to give have increased manifold. When you receive an invitation to help, please do.
