1973

As the ski season approaches, I have good news. Mike Neary has been named the manager of Suicide Six in Pomfret, Vt., and the Woodstock, Vt., Mount Tom ski areas. I'm sure that Mike will be able to provide any member of the Class with complimentary passes as well as free access to the bar. Thanks, Nears.

Further south, in Cambridge, I saw a considerable number of '73s at the Harvard game. Jon Low, Warren Jurovaty, Bob Barr, Chet Homer, Bob Weil, Brad Little, John Hauge, Scott Anderson, Herbie Hopkins, Piggy Bates, Dave Sullivan and Phil Maloney were seen in the Cage after the game. Earlier this fall at other games, I also ran into Rob Mikalis,George Leach, Chuck Thomas (who will be graduating from Dartmouth Medical School this spring), and Dave Clark.

I have also just recently received word of two classmates who have already walked down the aisle. Bob Raynolds was married last June to Mary Bartholomay. Both Bob and Mary are working on their doctorates in geology. And in August Dana Johnson formally hung up his skates after playing for three years in Germany and married Anne Norman. They have moved to Edmonton, Alberta, where he is currently working at the Crans Cancer Institute.

In the meantime, two members of the Class have new additions to announce. Susan BerndtMahoney sent word of the birth of her first child, Melissa Van Velson Mahoney. Sue is presently on leave from Landaner Associates, a real estate consulting firm in New York City. Bill Chase and his wife Deana also announced their first - a son - born on September 11.

Thanks to Class Treasurer Joe Powers, I have received the following notes about classmates from all over:

Dave Pelland reports that he has received his Ph.D. in mathematics from Wesleyan and is presently an assistant professor of mathematics at Murray State University in Kentucky.
