1974

Already winter is setting in, yet the chronology of news still tells of notes sent via our treasurer. As some careful readers may have noticed, fitting all the news into the column has become even more difficult since last month when strict adherence to the 1000- word limit began. Still, any news is good news!

A note on the back of a dues statement from Christopher Pfaff revealed that he began his life after Dartmouth with a master's degree in international relations from Johns Hopkins, spending six months at the university's extension in Bologna, Italy, and an equal period away from school working on a congressional campaign in Illinois. After finishing his degree, Chris marketed alternate energy designs and hardware abroad for a systems engineering company, worked briefly for a government consulting firm on a contract concerning the Tomahawk cruise missile, and last January began promotion of a cancer-screening program through a grant from the American Cancer Society. In the fall, Chris started the M.B.A. program at the University of Chicago. Thanks for bringing us up to date!

BillGeiger wrote that Jeff and Jan Simpson were in Guadalajara, where Jeff was completing his first year in medical school while Jan was "doing independent study in pre-natal care . . . and expecting in June."

Rick Brown wrote that he worked for the Central Intelligence Agency for three years (first as a Russian linguist and then as an economic analyst), married Diane Fiero ('74 Mt. Holyoke), and then enrolled at Harvard Business School last year. Rick recalled the "counter-Carnival" party held last year in Boston by Tom Guidi, now a practicing lawyer there. Obeying the ban on driving imposed due to the heavy snows, the celebrants even built their own snow sculpture on Commonwealth Ave.

Still deeply involved in his Ph.D. in anthropology was Russ Fehr, who was enjoying employment with the University of Arizona as a teaching and research assistant. As part of the "garbage project," he and his co-workers were investigating household disposables - packaging, cans, and newspapers - for a study funded by the Environmental Protection Agency. Russ was married to Laurie Warner ('76 Arizona) on March 18. Congratulations!

Wishing he had a piano and admitting what fun he has in "the mud capital of Ohio," SteveMiller also said that he was working as a computer programmer for National Cash Register and living in Cambridge, Ohio, after completing a master's in English from Columbia. On the side, he was able to star in a local production last winter of Charley's Aunt. Also, Dan O'Haire wrote that he had recently received his master's in geology from Montana State University and was working as a consulting geologist in Missoula. At work with Harris Trust in Chicago was John Wehner, there with Rick Sample, who joined the curren- cy management area last year; John was soaking up his spare time by working for an M.B.A. at the University of Chicago.

A note from Marsha Shaines revealed that she graduated from Boston University Law School in June 1977 and that she was working as a trial counsel for the General Services Administration in Washington, D.C. Meanwhile, Tom Treadwell said he was enjoying an internship at the University of California, Irvine, while his wife Meredith (Dartmouth Med '77) was doing an internship in family practice. He said they miss the sanity and beauty of the College but like the warm weather!

He extended greetings and "would like to hear from John Blum, Don Fournier, and C. K. Krumbach."

Meanwhile, Tony Caliendo was living in the Phoenix area and working for Clyde Staggs Homes. He recounted his marriage on May 8, 1976, to Diane Vaughan and wanted to know the whereabouts of Matt Connors, Don Colby,Jay Conger, or other ex-New Hamp residents.
