1974

Times of Yule and vacation visitations are near as yet another year approaches. Miraculously, it has been eight years since we submitted applications to the College!

Resuming the chronology, a packet of news sent from Hanover in July contained a clip from the Calais, Maine, Advertiser which announced the awarding of a doctor of philosophy degree to Dexter Kozen at Cornell University. His studies in computer science were to continue into the summer at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, N.Y., before he began a post-doctoral position at the University of California at Berkeley.

Also sent at the same time was an article from the Boston Globe on the marriage of KevinFitzgerald and Christine Crowley on May 15 in Sudbury, Mass. Kevin had plans to work for the Boston law firm of Foley, Hoag, and Eliot before beginning his third year at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Christine is a graduate of Newton College of the Sacred Heart. The wedding of Tom Cogbill and Jan Anderson was given attention by both the Berkshire Eagle (Pittsfield, Mass.) and the Maine Sunday Telegram (Portland) in clippings sent from Hanover last July. The June 18 event took place in Brunswick, Maine, with Charles Cogbill ’7l as best man and Fred Radke ’73 ks an usher. Tom received his B.M.S. degree frdm Dartmouth in 1975 and his M.D. last May from the University of Colorado; he began a surgical residency at the University of Colorado Medical Center in Denver last June. Jan is a 1976 graduate of Colby College, Maine. Congratulations!

A letter sent last July brought us up to date on Dick and Kim Cates. They both worked over the summer at the Southern Agricultural Research Station in Huntley, Mont., near Billings Dick on reclaiming alkali ground and Kim in the field and soils testing laboratory. The former elaborated on their extracuricular activities: At the recent Thirteenth Annual Homesteader Days Celebration, Dick won the men’s fence- post driving contest (setting a new record and rewarded by a “big color picture in the Billings Gazette.” He and Kim each tied for third in their respective straw-bale throwing contests with heights of 12 and eight feet. Kim won the women’s cow-chip throwing contest with a remarkable throw of 78 feet, and they took se- cond place in the coed crosscut sawing com- petition! These talents must be commended! Dick added that Gregg Kelley, Bill Perell, and Fritz Meyer '73 all had plans to visit the Cates on their way to the North Fork of the Flathead River for a canoe trip. Thanks so much for your communication!

Word reached us from Ty Nutt that, as of last summer, he was soon to begin another season for the TV series “Chico and the Man” as script man for Jack Albertson; Ty had just finished working in this capacity for a TV movie starring Mr. Albertson. He relayed that Steve Bell was working in North Dakota for the summer before beginning his third year at the University of North Dakota this past fall. Expanding on other talents, Ty took the photograph for the cover of the new album by R. B. Greaves!

A news release sent last July announced that Eric Van Leuven was accepted for one of 40 positions in first-year postgraduate training at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. Eric graduated from Dartmouth Medical School last spring. Accompanying this news was another release confirming that Charlie Krombach received his juris doctor degree from the New York Law School last June in New York City.

The July 17 edition of the Sunday New York Times noted the engagement of Paul Lukeraan and Valli Fuiks. They were married in Wardsboro, Vt., on September 3. Paul graduated last May from the University of Virginia Law School and was to join the Colum- bus firm of Chester, Hoffman, Park, Wilcox, and Rose; Valli, a graduate of Smith College, had been a staff assistant in the Washington of- fice of Representative Paul Tsongas, Democrat of Massachusetts. Congratulations to you both!

Late in July, Laura Cuetara was hostess to the Dartmouth Association of the Great Divide when the Denver-based organization viewed her presentation of Arthur Miller’s The Price at the Theatre Under Glass. In addition to her role as director at T.U.G., Laura began an assistant professorship at the University of Colorado Denver Center this past fall. Also announced recently was her engagement to Mike Miller, to be wed in Colorado in November. Congratulations again!

A postcard sent last August from the Pop- ponesset Inn (Mass.) by Don Fredrickson ex- plained that he was there working as a bartender for the summer before moving to Boston in the fall to study with Yoriko Chodos (there on leave from the College for a term). Don was then to prepare for “hopeful acceptance” to the piano accompaniment program at the University of Southern California in February or September 1978. Best of luck to you, Don!

A packet of news articles sent from Hanover in mid-August revealed in a clip from the Advertiser Democrat (Norway, Maine) that Ron Bishop received his degree from the Univer- sity of Maine School of Law last summer and planned to establish a rural practice in either Maine or New Hampshire. In the same batch, the Portsmouth Herald (N.H.) announced the engagement of Mike Brayton and Suzanne Attwood; the wedding was set for August 13. Suzanne graduated from St. Anselm’s College in Manchester.

Along with these was a notice in the Worcester (Mass.) Evening Gazette on the graduation last summer of Peter Lankenner from Dartmouth Medical School. A note received later from Peter elaborated that he began a surgical internship at the Tufts-New England Medical Center Hospital in Boston last summer and was accepted into the Harvard Orthopaedic Residency Program, beginning his orthopaedic surgery residency at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston in July 1979. Admitting that he’s “been pretty busy so far,” he hopes to visit the campus before too long. Good work, Peter, and thanks for the note!

The clippings continue with the announce- ment in the Norwalk (Conn.) Hour of the engagement of Jim Lay and Barbara Bain. Jim was working as a chemical engineer for the Linde Division of Union Carbide in Tonawan- da, N.Y., and received his M.E. degree from Thayer School over the summer.
