1964

I have a ton of info to report this month so I'll cut the bologna and get to it before the news becomes ancient instead of old. Ernie Notar is presently in Japan doing research in Japanese public administration. He plans to complete this work by June of this year and return to Berkeley to receive his Ph.D. Question: Are the Japanese as organized as the Chinese in fire drills?

The College sent me clippings from the Dartmouth Anthropology Notes re: the following '64 anthropologists: Douglas Raybeck (Cornell Ph.D.) who teaches at Hamilton College wrote the following piece, "The Semantic inferential and Kelantanese Malay Values: A Methodological Innovation in the Study of Social and Cultural Values." The only thing I can discern from all this is that Doug was trying whether the Malays were capable of throwing the first moon. Dr. Fred Levin and wife Sachiko took their son David back to visit grandparents in Tokoyo - staying, Fred says, "in the most luxurious hotel we could find, and we enjoyed every bit of the regression...." Now they are back in Chicago and the psychiatric practice. Bill Fitzhugh now chairs the department of anthropology of the Smithsonian Institute. Bill works summers in Labrador and will be heading a symposium on the Archaelogy of the Central Labrador Coast. I hope the chair at the Smithsonian fits you (get it?).

Received the following info on Ted Temple: he got married on June 26, 1976 to the former Barbara Ann Baker. They spent their honeymoon on Chesapeake Bay and along the South Jersey coastline. Ted has a daughter Julia Anne by a former marriage and he is employed by the Pennwalt Corp. in the position of manager, accounting systems, at their headquarters in Philadelphia.

Newell Grant, from Colorado, writes: "In October Judy (and I, of course) had a girl, our first child, named Margaret, and current expectations are to apply her to the class of 1998 (more or less). I'm running a small real estate financing and brokerage firm and also managing (or trying to) a cattle ranch. Don Bross is the one out here doing something exciting. He's staff attorney for the National Center for Prevention of Child Abuse and an instructor of law at University of Colorado Medical Center, plus project director for a H.E.W. department (for God only knows what) and has about an eight-month-old kid." Don, please send me the particulars.

I must quote Herb Goodrich's letter. "Goodrich family well and expanding in Brussels, where I'm resident partner of Philadelphia firm of Dechert, Price and Rhodes. [I hope I got the last name right.] 1976 has witnessed the birth of our third child, Steven, who is a cinch for stardom on the Big Green grid machine. He tipped the scales at 11 lbs and 1 oz at birth. The Belgians in attendance were in shock and immediately heralded the event as a record-breaking performance. Poor Ginger! Our other two children, seven-year-old Cindy and four-year-old Mathew, are progressing well in the Belgium Schools. I expect to be back to Philadelphia in one and a half to two years." I figure that at Steve's present rate of growth, he will weigh 728 lbs by the time he matriculates at Dartmouth.

Dr. Ken Sach is an assistant professor of Medicine at the University of Texas Medical School in Houston. Incredible as it may seem, he still is single. Get married, Ken - misery loves company. Dr. Bill Strutz writes, "having completed my orthopedic surgery residency at the University of California, Irvine, I finally got married and am practicing in Roseburg, Ore. The area, people, and attitudes remind me of New Hampshire." Emmetts of the world, unite!

Walton Smith writes, "I finally checked in on the parental scene. Our son Rush was born on November 2 (election day) and that may serve a Washington child well if it indicates a political sense. [Walt, what would you have said if he was born on April 1?] We had dinner recently at EdFrost's. He is now in the Division of Competition of the Federal Trade Commission, to the fear of monopolists."

I've got more news, but I'm limited to space. Will continue to try and catch up. Thanks for your cooperation. Adios.
