1960

For the McCarter family the summer of '78 was highlighted by the addition of a new member, Thomas Justin, born June 30. Judging by his size he should become a valuable addition to the Big Green football line if accepted in the Class of 1999. His siblings, William, 11, Susan, 10, and Meredith, 2, enjoy him every bit as much as Alice and I do.

A number of '60s already have children in college, and some have headed for Hanover this fall. Tom Franklin's daughter Sarah enrolled as a freshman at Dartmouth along with DickDavidson's daughter Jody, and my niece, Cathy Cowperthwaite. Sorry, I do not yet have the list of alumni children entering Dartmouth. If there are other '60 sons or daughters, I will let you know soon.

Tom and Sue Franklin live in Lincoln, Mass., with their two other children, Jonathan, 14, and Christopher, 11. Tom is a senior partner of Sweeney & Franklin, a Boston law firm founded by Tom a few years ago that has expanded to nine lawyers. One of Tom's specialties is computer law. Dick Davidson is a vice president of the State Street Bank in Boston and lives in Sharon, Mass., with Arlene and their two younger children, Robin and Andrew.

Harry Bruckner had his fill of selling food services for Servomation and purchased the Green Harbor General Store in Marshfield, Mass., where he and Ginny and their two children, Hank, 12, and Melissa, 10, have lived for several years. The old general store has been operating for 90 years with everything from nails to booze in stock. Every month or so Harry takes off his white apron, puts on a coat and tie, and heads for Boston to chair a meeting of the directors of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Eastern Massachusetts of which he was elected president last spring after several years as a vice president and director and as the moving force behind the Dartmouth South Shore Club. Ginny still heads the Marshfield board of assessors which is starting revaluation. Lets hope Harry's store caters primarily to tourists.

I received an interesting note from SusanTabor (Wahman) which arrived too late for the last issue. Susan and the Wahman daughters, Jessica, 10, and Gwendy, 8, played in TheSound of Music in various summer stock productions in the Northeast during the summer. Susan notes that Tom is still with the Rockefeller Brothers Fund in New York City, but wonders whether he is spending more time on the squash court than at work. She thinks he would like to. The Wahmans live on Amsterdam Avenue, right in the middle of the Big Apple.

Pete Erwin was thoughtful enough to send a note this summer about Denny Goodman's most recent accomplishments, not this time as a diplomat, but in some remarkable demonstrations of sheer physical stamina. Denny ran three marathon races in less than six months, starting with the Baltimore Marathon in November, the Boston Marathon in April, and in May the Cleveland Marathon. Denny is still with the foreign service, having held posts in Jamaica, Honduras, Australia, Iceland, and Spain. He is now back in Washington and residing in Fairfax, with his wife, Laura Beth, and their children, Kim and Gregory.

Tom Trimarco has been working hard behind the scenes as the number-two man and field director of Senator Edward Brooke's campaign for re-election to the U.S. Senate. Tom has been a partner in the Boston law firm of Csaplar & Bok since March, 1977, when he returned from Rome having served four years as special assistant to Ambassador John A. Volpe. Prior to that, Tom served as assistant general counsel to the Department of Transportation in Washington. Tom and Rosemary and their four children reside in Beverly, Mass.

Phil Kron and all of his agents and helpers should be enormously proud of the Class of'60 achievements in the 1978 Alumni Fund. Ignoring the official goal of $53,100 set for us by the College, the class executive committee ambitiously voted last fall to aim for $60,000 and 500 contributors. The final results showed 550 contributors (a 74 per cent participation ratio) who raised $67,676, or 43 per cent more dollars than the prior year, contributed by 79 more classmates. Only the 25th reunion Class of '53 had more contributors. Once again we were edged out in the Green Derby by the classes of '62 and '58, who each received over 140 per cent of their dollar objective. Bob Farmer, who now heads Education for Management, a creator and distributor of educational programs for industry and professional organizations, and BobPhillips, vice president and general manager of the toiletries division of Chesebrough-Ponds Inc., have been appointed reunion giving cochairmen for our 20th reunion year, and a goal of $250,000 and 600 participants has been established. This is a good opportunity for most of us to make a really significant contribution to the Campaign for Dartmouth, so please think in terms of a major gift this year.
