1966

Classmates continue to fan out across the world. A few examples? Certainly.

In Baghdad U.S. Economic-Commercial Attache Allen Keiswetter has recently been joined by his wife since June 17, 1977, Gerda Pfiefer.... In Tokyo Bob Spence has begun a five-year Asia/Pacific-area hitch as an assistant v.p. on the staff of the division head. Linda and the two boys, Brian, four, and Kevin, two, should become quite expert in Japanese culture.

... In Rio de Janeiro William Koelsch is a computer programmer for Consulpuc Services Tecnicos Ltda.

Closer to home it’s been a busy and reward- ing year for Thorton Jordan. He defended his dissertation on “The Psychological Framework of Emerson’s Life and Works” for Indiana University and received his Ph.D., was promoted to associate professor at Columbus (Ga.) College, and in June married Sue Johnson of Indianapolis. Not a bad year at all.

Larry Herbst is in the enviable position of be- ing a house fellow in a Vassar dorm, primarily because he is a tenured assistant professor in the Department of Economics there. His disserta- tion on U.S. Antebellum Interregional Trade will be published this spring.

Henry Art is associate professor of biology and acting director of the Center for En- vironmental Studies at lovely Williams College in Williamstown, Mass. Hank reports that Larry Forcier has now become assistant dean in the School of Natural Resources at the Univer- sity of Vermont.

Rick King comes from a Dartmouth Family. Father Gordon is a ’39 and brothers Bob ’7O and Alan ’74 recent graduates. And with those big changes in the College’s admission policy, Rick’s daughter Alec will probably become a ’92. Meanwhile Rick has parlayed an M.B.A. from Columbia and three years in the Navy into a position as v.p.-general manager of the direct sales division of Hanover Shoe, Inc., based in his hometown of Hanover, Pa.

The Human Resources Network is a Philadelphia-based consulting firm that assists big corporations in developing socially responsi- ble programs. David Johnston is a vice president there, and his wife, Hera Cohn-Haft, is in her third year of medical school.

When Bob Serenbetz transferred from Colgate-Palmolive’s New York office to Columbia two years ago, he was forced to learn Spanish, which he now speaks muy bien. Now he’s moved to Colgate’s Canadian company as director of marketing, and with bi-lingual com- munication the rule, he’ll have to brush up on his francais tout de suite. For Karen, Todd, eight, Gregg, six, and Katy, three, the past few years have proved exciting and broadening.

After designing, building, and running a branch plant in West Virginia, Barry Ripley and family are back at Troy Mills Inc. headquarters in Troy, N.H., where he is technical director for the manufacturer of nonwoven and coated fabrics.

Rick Read recently was named associate general counsel of the Interstate Commerce Commission. . . .

In Portland, Ore., Jeff Rogers has started a law firm with two other former assistant U.S. Attorneys, Ransom, Rogers & Blackman, that will emphasize litiga- tion and criminal defense. Wife Kris will soon return to the U.S. Attorney’s Office from maternity leave, since Karin is almost one year old.

And speaking of one-year-old people, my daughter Maggie has celebrated her first, and, strangely, one of her favorite pastimes is pound- ing on the typewriter. Wonder where she got that?

Happy Holidays and a Wonderful 1978 to everyone in our ever-growing class family.
