1961

Greetings from a southern outpost of the College, where happiness is more than three or four lines in the local paper on the Dartmouth game. (Yes, I work for the rag, too, but even with yelling and screaming, it’s hard to convince them that any school without athletic scholarships is worth covering.)

We’re going to try something new with WideWide World, our class newsletter. Instead of having one national paper, we’ll have three different models South, East and West, You will get all three versions.

But it will make them easier to publish, with Bert Rowley putting out the eastern issue and Ken Kolb putting out the southern version and Bob Anderson handling the West.

That way, Ken and Bob and Bert individually will prepare a newsletter about once every three months, but you’ll actually receive a Wide WideWorld almost monthly.

But it’s still dependent on everyone con- tributing info to one of these three guys, par- ticularly of the mini-reunions that take place almost daily when a ’6l meets another coming through the (airport) gate.

Here are their addresses: Bert Rowley Jr., Remson Lane, Upper Brookville, Oyster Bay, N.Y. 11735. Robert Anderson, Anderson and Michael, 661 California St., San Francisco, Calif, Kenneth C. Kolb, 6123 Loyola St., New Orleans, La.

Working the phones: Perhaps we ought to consider using our traveling classmates as rov- ing ambassadors, to tie the Class closer together. The thought occurred in talking with Dr. John Edwards. Despite a busy orthodontic practice in Charlotte and a growing family (his eldest already is a senior in high school), John's been on the road a good bit, speaking at the University of Southern California, the Univer- sity of Chicago, the University of Washington (Seattle), in New York, and even in Spain on his research in orthodontics. He’s also been publishing a good bit of his research. He’s even gotten himself named an external examiner at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa.

Eldest son Johnny is a football player, a swimmer (like father like son) and a track star. Mailbag: I feel like Kanga without Roo. How’s about a letter. And be sure you use the back of the class dues bill to tell me or Ken or Bob or Bert something about yourselves.

Faculty: Elliott J. Weiss is a new associate professor of law at Yeshiva University’s Ben- jamin N. Cardozo School of Law. Since gradua- tion, Elliott’s been to Yale Law School, been in private practice, and served in a string of legal jobs first with the Agency for International Development and then for the Environmental Protection Agency. He was the first executive director of the Investor Responsibility Research Center, an organization that analyzed public policy issues affecting major corporations. With that background, you’d expect him to teach about corporations and he is.

Announcements: Paul L. Synnott Jr. is /branch manager of the Connecticut Valley of- fice of Reliapce Insurance Cos. in West Springfield, Miss. He’s been in insurance for 14 Richard E. Lodraill is manager of Company’s chemical division in Tacoma, Wash., after three years as the division’s commercial development manager. Before then, he was with General Mills. . . . Richard L. Noel has been named vice president and senior loan officer at First Vermont Bank and Trust Cos. in Brattleboro, the latest in a string of banking posts. . . . H. William Shore chaired the annual appeal dinner of the Connec- ticut regional board of the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith, on October 11. The New Haven lawyer was assistant minority counsel for the Senate Watergate Committee, and a co- manager of Senator Lowell P. Weicker’s 1976 campaign.

The final word: All the talk about passages at reunion didn’t really hit home until Dartmouth recruiting rounds the other day. Gentlemen, the sons (and daughters) of 1961 may begin entering Dartmouth and other colleges this year. Some of us are about to become grandfathers. Where, oh where, has our youth gone?
