1960

Thanks to the energy and efforts of Art LaFrance approximately 300 legal service employees will receive extensive training this year in the litigation of cases related to poverty, the environment, race, education and sex discrimination. A series of training sessions in public service litigation entitled Federal Litigation for the Poor has been planned and organized by Art under the auspices of the Office of Program Support of the Legal Service Corporation. Training sessions and workshops will be held in a number of locations throughout the country. Art prepared a 340-page book of curriculum and materials for this project and is also co-author of Law of the Poor, a legal textbook published in 1973. Art is a professor at the University of Maine Law School.

I recently received word that Bruce MeLeod received his master's degree in social work last May from St. Louis University.

My thanks to H. Flint Ranney '56, secretary of the Dartmouth Club of Southern California, for sending me an announcement of the January club luncheon featuring a talk by Kenneth Reich entitled "The 1976 Election - What Happened?" Ken is a political writer for the Los Angeles Times, and is one of the many talented journalists produced by the Class of '60. MorrisFeldman was kind enough to send an article from the Chicago Sun-Times by Morton Kondracke, a member of that paper's Washington bureau. This article appeared last May during the presidential campaign and is entitled "How Jimmy Met the Future Mrs. Carter."

Dean Chamberlin '26 sent me an article from the Freeport (Me.) Post with a picture of Mike Daley and his wife Susan sitting at a table with two Dartmouth undergraduates from the Pine Tree State. It seems that Mike and Sue when attending the club officers weekend in Hanover last fall had the unique idea of hosting a breakfast for the Maine undergraduates at which about 30, or half the total number of Maine undergrads at Dartmouth appeared, resulting in the first step toward establishment of a Maine Club at Dartmouth, a student complement for the Dartmouth Club of Maine of which Mike is president.

Your comments on class dues notices, which Arnie Sigler forwards to me, have been a major source of information for this column during the past few years. Dr. Michael Bromer of Edina, Minn., notes that he and his family attended and enjoyed Dartmouth Alumni College in '75 and '76. They met Bob and Nancy Hatch there too. Bruce Henry has been working as a carpenter for Edsall Construction Company in Bozeman, Mont., while bringing up his five-year-old daughter Nicolette. He is planning to move to Schenectady, N.Y. Art Pritchard is now a portfolio manager with Wells Fargo Investment Advisors and living in San Francisco. The BruceHasenkamps had a son, Peter Andris, born July 27, 1976. He is already pre-registered for Dartmouth.

Jackson Taylor is an associate professor at the University of Mississippi where he had tauaht history for the past nine years. Last April he presented a paper entitled "The Russian Prisons in the 1880's" to the Southwest Social Science Association in Dallas, and in October he presented "The Court vs. Tolstoi: The State and the Arts in the 1880's" to the American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies in St. Louis.

Dick Chase and his wife Sage sat through the Yale game in the driving rain midst torando warnings with Roger and Ann Hanlon. Dick and Sage have a great family life in Suffield, Conn., with their four boys. Dick started his own real estate management and consulting firm about two years ago along with a classmate from Tuck School. They have been extremely busy, workins almost exclusively for institutional clients with distressed real estate properties.

Dick Ossen is now teaching a couple of evening courses at Mercy College in White Plains, N.Y., in addition to his business consulting practice. In alternate semesters he teaches management and marketing and enjoys it immensely.

Sandy Ingham is editor of a local newspaper in Morganville, N.J. His wife Dini, an art school graduate, is painting, sculpting and exhibiting around central Jersey and their son lan, age 9, has passed up football for soccer, the rage in suburban sports.

Walt Sosnowski spends most of his spare time coaching whatever sport is in season for his sons Walt Jr., age 12, and Tie, age 10. His wife Doris notes that they are happy in Dallas and that Walt likes the industrial real estate business and is active in community and church work in Dallas.

I'll be running out of dues slips soon, so drop me a line. I am particularly anxious to hear from those whom I haven't heard from for awhile. Let's hope spring is just around the corner. It's been a tough winter.
