1962

As a new class secretary, this is my first attempt at doing my monthly penance for Dartmouth. However, I am hopeful that with the great cooperation from some of you I will have more than enough to fill the monthly column.

Please feel free to contact me concerning any matter involving you personally, others in the Class, or Dartmouth in general. Wives please take note, as I understand that you are often the best source of information.

I have also just heard from our president, John Clark, that both Al Cook, our new newsletter editor, and I will be receiving a subscription to The, Dartmouth. This should keep me up-to-date on what is happening on campus, so that we may have comments from time to time on what is transpiring at the College.

Hanover's District Court Judge MichaelSlive, whom Governor Meldrim Thompson of New Hampshire had thought was too lenient on drunken drivers, was seemingly forewarned of the forthcoming visit of a Thompson MIORS agent, and proceeded to deliver "a scalding oration on the evils of drink" on the morning the agent appeared in his court. Management Information Operation, Research Section (MIORS) is a bureau set up by New Hampshire's Governor Thompson to investigate any activities or proceedings the governor feels are not in line with his own ideas of strict law and order. Seems Judge Slive also had his sources of information on the ball.

Gordon R. Williamson writes he was recently in Steamboat Springs, Colo., and ran across Terry Bentley, who has settled there with his wife Meg. They are the proprietors of the Iron Horse Inn, close to the nearby ski area. Gordy recommends that if you are ever out that way, you should give Terry a call as he is quite the expert on the sights and the restaurants in that neck of the woods. Terry's phone for intending travellers is (303) 879-0340. Seems he is 30 lbs. thinner, sports a moustache, and is enjoying the outdoor life. What was Gordy doing in Steamboat Springs? Attending a handball camp taught by a couple of pros from Texas and Florida. Gordy admits Terry still beats him at the game.

Congressman Paul E. Tsongas (D-Lowell) is reported to be the "only one of Massachusetts' 12 House members to indicate he won't take the full pay hike which Congress accepted." Tsongas is planning to deduct income taxes and other cost-of-living adjustments from the $12,-900 pay raise, and make the remainder - estimated at almost $8,900 - available for a college scholarship fund to aid students in his district.

Peter A. Morrison, a population analyst for Rand Corp., is quoted on the front page of the Wall Street Journal in an article on the possibility of a second baby-boom developing from the marriages of the postwar baby-boom, many of which had postponed starting families of their own. "It's like a giant pause between stanzas: Everyone's waiting to see what the orchestra will do next."

Attorney William M. Brodsky is enjoying the best of all worlds. Married now to Lee Cross, also a successful attorney, Bill, with the U.S. Attorney's office in Brooklyn, was prosecuting tax evaders and other white-collar criminals while his wife was on the other side, defending them. Bill has now left government service and hung out his own shingle. He is handling whitecollar defense work, and "any other criminal and matrimonial stuff that looks interesting and pays well." The best news though, is that he and Lee expect to be parents in October.

John L. Wilkinson, vice president of organizational development for Farm Credit Banks of Springfield, with his heavy background in personnel management, has been making a name as a featured speaker on topics such as "Change of Work Values in a Changing World" delivered at a February 14 meeting of the Western Massachusetts Chapter of the Administrative Management Society.

Back to the U.S.A. in April 1977 for a muchtravelled Dartmouth '62. David E. French has been named underwriting manager at AFIA Worldwide Insurance in Wayne, N.J. Joining AFIA in 1966, Dave has been stationed in Singapore since 1972, and before that had assignments in Cologne, West Germany, and Brussels. Also back from overseas is PeterWeldy who spent almost a year and a half in South Africa with 3M.

Walter A. Grudi is making it big in sales. Josten's Scholastic Division recently honored Walt at its national sales meeting. Walt and his wife Linda and their family live in Palmyra, Pa.

The chairman of the board of Capital Distributing Co., Inc. recently announced the Sromotion of James Abramson to the position of resident of the company. Jim had served as vice president and general manager since joining the firm in 1971. He lives in Andover, Mass., with his wife Joan and three daughters.
