1964
Well, fellas, another school year is ending. Put another notch on the wall for years since departed from Dartmouth. Its been 13 years, guys; how does that make you feel? (I have no comment, for a change.) Well, now for the '77 grand finale. (Oh, by the way, due to my backlog, don't get discouraged over my not inserting news that you may have submitted. I will resume in September where I leave off now. Your contributions to this column have been tremendous, and I don't want the delay in relaying the news to kill your spirit. I'm totally dependent on your continued support. Again, thanks.)
Roger Hall writes, "Life for the past few years has been hectic and fun. After getting my LL.M. and S.J.D. from the University of Virginia in January '74 and finishing my work as counsel to Lin Holten (Governor of Virginia), I spent two years running around the world for the State Department. In April '76, Princeton published my doctorate - The Irish Triangle. In July '76, I began work as vice president of development and adjunct professor of law at Syracuse. I have continued to ski a lot [is this a jibe aimed at me?] and have my tennis going again."
Wife Dorothy writes that Dan Connelly is starting his second year working for Sperry Research in Sudbury, Mass., developing a computerized fingerprint indentification and matching system. His lunch "hours" are tough with jogging, swimming, skating, volleyball, and vegetable gardening. They hiked 100 miles of the Appalachian Trail in Maine last July.
In 1975 Brian Randall became a manager of the Bellville, Ill., branch of the investment banking firm of Reinholdt & Gardner, and has since become a general partner. He continues to enjoy playing raquetball regularly despite suffering a broken leg playing the sport last November. (Welcome to the club, Brian.) He and his wife Evelyn are looking forward to the birth of their first child. Let me know the outcome, Brian, since the birth has probably taken place as of this writing.
In a news release from the University of Tampa the following info was gleaned: For the second year in a row, Dartmouth rowers won the Presidents Cup Regatta which is sponsored by the University of Tampa as a climax to their spring training. A picture was enclosed of FredRothenberg (ugly) with his wife Mary Sue (beautiful) and two-year-old son Charles (handsome) and the president (uglier than Fred) of the Dartmouth Rowing Club holding the trophy. Fred is a member of the Dartmouth Alumni Council and also directs 200 volunteers of the University of Tampa's Forward Fund '77'(a clear case of conflict of interests). Fred was also general chairman of the Tampa campaign last year and is chairman of the University of Tampa Counselors this year. Fred did cheer for the Big Green and collected a lot of green for Tampa.
Ben Koehler writes as follows: "Tell the Greek that the money business is generally rolling on. So far as I know, I'm the only indian in the armoured trucking business - whatever that means. Mary and I had our third child, Anson, last year." Sounds like Ben's monkey business is as good as his trucking business.
Rich and Joan Behrens extend greetings to all - family doing well: Kristina is eight, Marja's six, and Lisa is two. Joan is working on a definitive genealogical history of their family. (It is rumored Rich's earliest grandfather was a Cro-Magnon in Germany, thus giving Rich his size and strength and desire to walk when he could ordinarily ride.) They do a great deal of hiking.
Brian McMahon reports, "I have been in Venezuala for five years now and am in charge of Inmont Corp's (world's largest manufacturer of printing inks and automotive paints) operations in South America. My four-year-old twin boys, Pat and Mike, are magnificent 'Spanglish' speakers and worthy examples of their namesakes (remember the Pat and Mike stories?). My wife, Martha Lucia, from Columbia, travels with me throughout South America and the Far East."
Harvey Tettlebaum was in Hanover last fall for the Harvard football game. We helped work on our Class project with classmates Schramm, Bartles, MacArthur, their spouses, et al. He recommends that all classmates visit this wooded area that is used for Outward Bound students. Harv is still with the Missouri Attorney General's office protecting consumers. Also, he is now treasurer for the Republican State Committee. Wife Ann and two-year-old daughter Marianne, golden retrievers and basset hounds, still living in a farm in California Mo. He extends invites to all itinerant '64s. There was a great write-up of Harvey and his consumer efforts in the St. Louis Post Dispatch (January '77). The article quotes Senator Albert Spradling (Dem.), dean of the State Senate and chairman of the Banking Committee, as saying that Harvey "has the finest brain that the Attorney General's office has had in 25 years." Harvey has received high salary offers from law firms but prefers to continue to be a public servant. This is certainly refreshing news - but I still question the quality of your brains.
Greg MacMillin has co-authored a revised edition of a major French textbook. The book is entitled Son et Sens, which means "Sound and Meaning," not "Sons and Lovers." It is the basic first-year text in the French program of Scott, Foresman and Co., the Chicago schoolbook publisher. Guy is a teacher at Brattleboro (Vt.) Union High School and writes a syndicated newspaper column. Guy has taught at this high school for five years, prior to which he taught at Vermont Academy. He holds a M.A.T. from the School for International Training and several European degrees.
My last tidbit for this year is as follows: Harry Holt III is selling the box that Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis was shipped back to America in. This crate (12 feet x 26 feet) is an ideal bit of American memorabilia and, to quote Harry, "I hope some historical society or museum will buy it. We want the right party to get it." The crate is presently located in a field in Contoocook, N.H., with a curator living in it. Anyone interested please contact Harry who lives in Carmel, Calif.

Rothenberg is chair-man of the University of Tampa Counselors and directs fund-raising efforts.
