1960

As the holiday season rapidly approaches, I am sure you have all been wondering what momentous decisions your class executive committee reached at its annual meeting held in Chrystie Fieldhouse at Baker Field just prior to the Columbia game. The most important item on the agenda, i.e., the secretary’s report, was handled with dispatch. Gene Kohn confirmed that there are now two ’60 offspring in the Class of ’81 at Dartmouth, namely Kirk Eveleth and Raymond Hiley (my apologies to Raymond and Dave for printing the wrong name last month.) Phil Kron announced that we had picked up an additional 22 contributors to the Alumni Fund campaign and that we were $6,000 above our goal but still placed third in the Green Derby. Our competition is tough. Arnie Sigler con- firmed that our bank accounts are about The same as last year and that we are still solvent, even though a number of ’6os are not paying their class dues which include the cost of their subscription to this magazine, Dick Ossen and others yet to be determined will be preparing for our 20th reunion in June 1979. Suggestions for a class project are now being solicited.

Those wives in the Class who are suffering front boredom and the dull routine of housework may wish to take a hint from Marcie Sigler who is now back in school learning the undertaking business so that she can go into business with her brother.

Walt Freedman, formerly the head of Michigan brand cottage cheese in Kalamazoo, Mich,, has completed a sale,of -,he company to General Mills and is now president of a wholly- owned subsidiary which is the distributor of Yoplait Yogurt, a product which now is dis- tributed nationally.

Bill Watson is now a senior vice president in charge of the international department of State Street Bank and Trust Company in Boston. He was formerly manager of the bank’s Edge Act subsidiary in New York City. Bill and Pinky have moved from Ramsey, N.J., to Wellesley, Mass., with their two children, John, age six, and Victoria, age four, and are looking forward to more visits to Hanover.

Dr. H. Nicholas Muller 111, the director of the University of Vermont Living/Learning Center, and a prominent Vermont historian, has been elected president of Colby-Sawyer College (formerly Colby Jr.) in New London, N.H., and will assume his duties as fifth president early in 1978. Colby-Sawyer, an independent women’s college with an enrollment of 700, combines a four-year liberal arts program with several two- year career-oriented associate degree majors, Nick has been on sabbatical leave this year and is writing a one-volume history of Vermont. He edits the Vermont Historical Society quarterly and is a senior editor of Vermont Life magazine. In addition to teaching history, Nick served as associate dean of the UVM College of Arts and Sciences before becoming director of the Living/Learning Center in 1972. He will retain his close ties with Vermont and its history after he and Nancy and their two sons move to New London.

In September the U.S. Senate confirmed President Carter’s appointment of Paul Boeker is the U.S. ambassa- lor to Bolivia. Paul and Margaret and their three children were scheduled to ar- rive in La Paz on Oc- tober 15. Paul has served in the U.S. For- eign Service since 1961, first as a staff as- sistant in Bonn, then as a consular officer in Duesseldorf. He has served as economic officer in Bogota, a financial economist in the office of development and finance at the State Depart- ment, chief of the financial operations division and director of the office of development and fi- nance. In 1971 he served as a member of the policy planning staff. From 1971 to 1974 he was economic officer in Bonn and a member of the policy planning staff. Since 1974 Paul has been deputy assistant secretary of state for economic and business affairs.

Roger Schaefer has been promoted to vice president at United States Trust Company in/ New York. He is with the trust and investment group and became a chartered financial analyst in 1968. Roger and his family live in Basking Ridge, N.J.

I hope you all have an enjoyable holiday season.
