1968

I hope this finds many of you having partaken of the exciting spectacle of football and the change of seasons in Hanover. Remember, the spring is just as breathtaking and will be the setting for our tenth reunion. Assistance in planning and executing the event will be welcomed by Reunion Chairman Jim Tonkovich, who can be reached at (603) 646-3200.

Dave and Dianne Peck and son Eben have moved to Wiscasset, Maine, where Dave is an associate with architect James Walter Schildroth. He was previously with an architectural firm in Plymouth, Mass., and has served as an archeological architect on excavations in Yugoslavia, Turkey, and Greece. Your talents will come in handy this spring, Dave, when we excavate the back lawn of a fraternity house in search of beer cans buried in 1968.

A headline in the Milford, Conn., newspaper read, "Waterhouse's Zest for Job Pays Off." The writer characterizes Mark (Skip)Waterhouse, our class treasurer, as "one golden product of the community that has.worked to bring in industry." Mark heads the Department of Community Development and has spent "countless hours talking, negotiating, and visiting with major corporation executives and the small businessman, in a successful attempt to keep the city's tax base growing." The unassuming Waterhouse indicates that "this is just something I fell into." We should all develop a propensity to fall in a similar fashion!

This month, the 15th birthday of the Hopkins Center, finds Subject to Fits on stage, written by the "illustrious" Robert Montgomery. The play opened in N.Y.C. in 1972 and was described by critics as "bubbling with talent . . . dazzling wit . . . elegant stagecraft." Bob has been writing plays with success since his undergraduate days. If you're in New York City, try and catch his Green Pond at the Chelsea Theatre Center.

John and Francine Eisold are currently in Rockville, Md., where John is in residency at Bethesda Naval Hospital. Following graduation from Dartmouth, John attended Navy Nuclear Power School and served as an engineering officer in the nuclear submarine fleet. We wish you both the very best in your new locale.

Former indian and now attorney FrankCouper must be shining his moccasins for the tenth. He is currently assigned to the office of chief counsel, U.S. Coast Guard, in Washington, D.C., and working on legislation involving oil spills, the environment, and international law. Frank published an article in the April 1977 issue of the Journal of MaritimeLaw and Commerce, entitled "The Deep Draught Vessel and the Proposed International Regulations for preventing Collisions at Sea." He indicates that the article pertains to a new treatment of "supertankers" in the regulations. He does not recommend reading it unless "you are not interested in the topic but want a cure for insomnia; you are a boater who should know what to do when a supertanker approaches on a collision course." I suspect Rich Du Moulin, who is in the shipping business, has read it. Mr. Couper also had blood drawn by nurse Young Hobbie, wife of Chuck Hobbie '67, and a while back accomplished two missions in one when contacting a Dr. Sam Hawken, who had performed reconstructive surgery to alleviate the disability of Frank's client. Frank came up with the doctor's statement he was seeking and a contribution to the Alumni Fund!

Finally, I share with you the thanks to the Class of '68 sent to me by Adie Henderson,Greg's widow, for contributions made to the Alumni Fund as a memorial to Greg. Adie says that her continued inclusion in the Dartmouth family is very comforting to her since "Greg's years in New Hampshire were his happiest." You are an integral part of the family, Adie, and we hope you will join all of us at the tenth reunion.
