1974

With the forecast now for turkey dinners, the colors of fall have faded, giving way to tempestuous winter. Those near to the Rockies are vociferating this year for more precipitation of the crystalline variety. Time will tell, we assume!

Returning to the just and proper chronology, meetings with Ralph "Corky" Eannace revealed that he had spent his first year away from the College honoring a scholarship awarded him to attend the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Mass., at the culmination of which he proceeded to Cornell Law School. His course of study there alternates between law and a program in public administration, yielding by the spirng of 1979 both a degree in law and an M.P.A. Corky's plan for all this toil is to apply his counsel to government, his own practice, or to admonish the political world. As of mid-June, he was beginning summer employment with a firm named Legis 50, a consultant to state governments throughout the country. His participation was to include work on a Federal grant to study states' handling of juvenile reform.

On his trip across the country, Corky had visited with the parents of Jeff Hanson, who is now at Duke Medical School and, as many may remember, was married to Janet Crawford over a year ago. Most recently, Jeff scouts for internships in Boston and Chicago. Corky recalled that Doug and Mary Anne Jones were stationed in Indianapolis while Doug studies at the University of Indiana Law School. While Corky visited with them, Doug passed along word that Dan Harbin - who was reknowned as a freshman for having locked himself into a footlocker on the Green only to be found by his English 5 mentor, Prof. Mansell - is still maintaining the sanity of the University of Cincinnati Medical School by playing the flashing doctor at the annual talent show!

In addition. Corky noted the marriage of BillLandmesser and Sue Walter at Moosilauke this past fall. His reverie next led to a memory of Dick Ellsworth who attended the Cornell game a year ago all the way from Alaska; that Bill Paquette had designed and was in the last stages of constructing a summer home for a law professor before attending Yale School of Design this fall; that Earl "Duke" Henderson was enrolled in the New York College of Podiatric Medicine in N.Y.C.; and that Bruce Jordan worked over the summer in Saratoga Springs before beginning his last year of law school in Albany.

As for his spare time, Corky has had time at Cornell to take a course in ballroom dancing, with one of his partners being Inky Ford '76 (now married to Turner Paddock), and to notice that John "Beef' Budai is hanging in there for a Ph.D. in physics along with Dexter Kozen who was involved in graduate work for a Ph.D. in computer science. In line with College-awayfrom-campus affairs, Corky has been secretary-treasurer of the Dartmouth Club of the Southern Tier of New York (composed mostly of greeners transplanted to Ithaca) where Valerie J. Armento '73 is president and attends the law school. In addition, he is still active in the club in Utica and was seen over the summer at events sponsored by the Dartmouth Association of the Great Divide (Denver). Would that everyone impart so much news! Thanks, Corky.! In communication with Head Agent ChrisGates last June, I heard the fine news that Gerryand Eleanor Bowe became the proud parents of Stephanie Lake Bowe on May 1, 1977. Congratulations!

A news release from Loyola University Medical Center announced last June that GaryFahrenbach received his M.D. from the Stritch School of Medicine at Loyoia (Maywood, Ill.), and that he was to begin a resident program in internal medicine in July at Cook County Hospital in Chicago. In the same packet of information, sent from Hanover, was a clipping from the Springfield Daily (May 21) announcing the engagement of Stephen McDowell and Meridith Irene Hatcher. The notice revealed that Steve had obtained a graduate degree from Magdalene College at Cambridge University and is a candidate for a Ph.D. in English literature at the University of Chicago. His fiancee graduated with a B.A. in elementary education from Stephens College, Columbia, Mo., and spent a year of study at Magdalene and at the University of Edinburg. The wedding was planned for June 25 in Atlanta.

Sent at the same time last June was a clipping from the New Haven Register announcing the May 28 rites of Victor Wong and Kut-Nie Tan. Victor had received his M.S. in mechanical engineering in 1976 at M.I.T. and is currently working on a Ph.D. in that department. Kut-Nie received a B.A. in music/molecular biology and biophysics from Yale in 1976, an M.S. in chemical engineering there last spring, and was to continue this fall toward a Ph.D. at Harvard University. Congratulations and best of luck in your studies!

News of the May 14 wedding of Simon Etzel and Elizabeth Byrne was contained in a clipping sent along with the above notices. Ushers at the ceremony held in Aquinas House included TimGilchrist, Craig Colberg '73, Gary Kraemer, and Vince Lopez '75. Tim is a real-estate agent in Denver, Craig left a post with Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Co. to begin an M.B.A. program at Stanford Business School this fall, and the article lists Gary as a resident of Westmont, N.J., and Vince as living in Pottsville, Pa. The reception was held at the DOC House. Simon has a graduate degree in engineering from the Thayer School and his bride is a graduate of Colby-Sawyer College and the University of New Hampshire. According to the clipping, they were to live in Virginia Beach, Va. Congratulations!

A news release from the Dartmouth Medical School last June cited Robert Lang, a third-year student, as the first recipient of the Robert Henry '73 Scholarship Award. The notice mentioned that Bob had spent a year before entering medical school at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary as a research assistant, and that his wife Kathleen teaches school in the Upper Valley.

Along about the same time, Peter Blodgett was making plans to start a summer day-camp near Sugarbush in Warren, Vt., with the help of Gail McKee. Peter was then just counting the returns for the Alumni Fund, in which his aid as assistant head agent was instrumental.

A clipping from the July 3 edition of the New York Times announced the engagement of JohnMeleney and Laura Culley, who were to wed August 6. The article noted that John had graduated last spring from the University of Chicago Law School and had plans to join the Philadelphia firm of Drinker Biddle & Reath. Laura graduated from Notre Dame and received an M.A. from the University of Chicago School of Social Service Administration. Another in this group of wedding plans was the announcement in the Worcester Evening Gazette (June 18), a copy of which was received from Hanover in July, that Bruce A. "Willy"Williamson and Janet Bagley were to be married in September. Willy had been a brand assistant for Proctor & Gamble in Cincinnati. Janet graduated from Mount Holyoke and was working for White & Bagley Co. Congratulations, albeit belated!

Next month news items shall cite KevinFitzgerald, Tom Cogbill, Ty Nutt, and many others. Until then, may all your turkeys be stuffed!
