1976

In my usual style, I am sitting down to write of the monthly happenings hours before the deadline. I also am due at Logan Airport shortly to embark on a European tour. I'm completing my foreign language study on the five-year program. Maybe if I leave my notes around, one of my roommates will finish the column.

An immediate congratulations to MarkRingo, admitted to University of Massachusetts Med School. Thankfully, Ringo now can be a doctor, make money and pay for all the application fees he had to pay. Only kidding. Good luck, Ringo.

Copa Cabana is in France where he has inaugurated a European branch of his very exclusive zoo club which has been christened the "90 Kids Club." He also has his hands full "with all the slender, lithe and seductive young French actresses he can handle." Vintage Copa.

Martha Hennessy, who said "I'll be teaching at Graland Country Day School in Denver" next year, has news once again. She writes, "Kim Conroy is in Honduras as a coordinator of a small mango puree factory. . . ."

Stuart Weeks from Sussex, England, doing graduate work at Emerson College, is studying "anthroposophy."

Brian Graf is in Keene, N.H., hoping to go to law school in the fall. Brian relays to Martha that Ed Hirsch is studying industrial psychology (what next?) at Cornell.

John Richey was in Denver during the winter doing some skiing. John finished a job at the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta and is going to UVM Med School in the fall.

"Speedy" MacDonell has just moved to San Diego and hopes to get a band together. Speedy turned down an offer from the Eagles to join them - he wants to go Big Time. Good vibes, Speedy.

Shocker of the year: I received a letter from mean Joe Vaughn. Yes, Joe Vaughn. Joe is the only human to ever out eat Orson Welles. Joe never finished at the Greenland, but thought enough of the people he met to drop a line.

Heard from Jay Josslin by phone from San Francisco the other day. Josh loves the city and is seeing some of Rich Horan and DickieCarroll, both still slaving away in Sausalito. Rumor has it that Vickie Bohn is also enjoying the California climate these days.

Pam Gile and Wendy Simila had a large bash recently which attracted a large crowd of Dartmouth people. Another typical winder with food, beer, and fights. Pam and Wendy are becoming famous in Boston and have booked their next one for the Boston Garden.

Mike Cutler has moved back to Concord, Mass., to start a construction job. Mike was saying that he began to feel complacent after a long winter and that hibernating wasn't all that much fun. He'll probably be making more money than any of us.

Attended a Tom and Karen Fleming version of "burgers and beers" a couple of weeks ago. Flem is coaching the receivers for Rick Taylor at Boston University this fall. In typical fashion, we had the barbeque going while we watched the Celtics and heard about Tom's golf game.

Chris Hodgson is corresponding regularly and is enjoying work with Price-Waterhouse in his native Winnepeg. "Hog" plans a trip to Florida in the fall and a stop at Dartmouth. Three years in a row, Chris? There must be more to the place than sun and Busch beer.

Satch Orlando was on the road when I tried to call him today. Sandro was visiting Clarkson. No doubt he is right into the Softball back home in North Bay. Any word on law school, Satch?

Well that's about it. Hope some of you made it to Green Key and celebrated in the usual fashion. Graduation also fast approacheth and I'm sure some of you will make it back for that. Keep in touch with summer plans. Au revoir, arrivederci, etc., etc. (I have to practice my accents . . . and my spelling!)
