1965

One useful function that is served by collecting class dues annually is that some of you at least once a year respond to Jim Scott's cryptic postscript below the address block. As a result, this clearing house for who is doing what where gets an influx of fluxional facts right when the bulletin board is practically nude. What strikes me this month about our reported careers and activities is that most of us are pursuing those predictable, legitimate endeavors typical of a graduating class of the mid-sixties.

Here are some mild exceptions to the norms of business, medicine, law, academia, and government.

Ed Sullivan has returned to Aspen with his bride (Holly Crawford) from Bellevue, Wash. Appropriately enough, he is on the Buttermilk Mountain Ski Patrol. Last summer was spent building a new house in the Victorian style for a friend. As I recall, much of Aspen used to be Victorian in appearance.

Dealing with old or genuine Victorian residences is the work of Eric Engstrom, an appointee by the governor of Kansas to the newly created Kansas Historic Sites Board of Review. Earlier, Eric was a member of the U.S. Assay Commission making sure that 1975 coinage conformed to statute... a little spice added to the staple work of private law practice.

Our man on the China Wall has traded venue for the Harvard Yard. After two and a half years in the Peking Liaison Office, Jerry Ogden is at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government for a year before reassignment by the Department of State.

We don't know what he has been doing for the remainder of his 13 years since graduation, but we can account for at least three hours, 11 minutes in the life of Claude Liman. That is the time he spent in running the Minneapolis marathon on October 9. With that taste of success he wants to head on to Boston, which is Mecca for all those who wear gym shorts outside their warm up pants. Claude, I might have been marathon material too, but my running partner gets blisters on her forepaws after only five miles.

George Rutler might have drifted into traditional predictability as an Episcopal minister were it not for his penchant to do a little extra. In addition to rectoring at Church of the Good Shepherd, near Bryn Mawr College (Pa.), he has been lecturing, writing, appearing on T.V., researching in France, and publishing a book on squash racquets!

In Columbia, Md., Stu Keiler is still with Head Sports Wear, Inc., but has been promoted to vice president — merchandising. Working with Heinz Klutmeier, his photographer from Sports Illustrated, Stu is producing catalogs for the new swimwear line at Head. That's one mailing list on which I would not object to being listed.

Now, here is a case of by-products getting the upper hand. Korekiyo Terado has been import- ing U.S. goods to Japan to help out our balance of payments. Last year he moved 1,000 head of lowan cattle to Japan in 18 DC-8 airplanes. With that success, he now hopes to move 4,000 head plus 150,000 tons of their manure destined for orchard fertilizing. I'll believe it only if it is only the cattle that get air-freighted.

To the best of my immediate knowledge we have no one in the Class who: sky dives, hang glides, or wind surfs; trains elephants; is a detective with N.Y.P.D.; runs a snowshoeing school; repairs eighteenth-century wooden clocks; has nine children — all girls; races hydroplanes; has developed a coreless apple; is into bail-bonding; blew two tires during The Press-On Regardless,

So ... let it happen, then let us know. There aren't too many second chances!

Steve Sloca is a partner in Irell & Manella, a Los Angeles law firm in which he concentrates in litigation. His wife Kim, who Steve met in Vietnam in 1970, graduated from Santa Monica College in 1976 and their son Lee is a top soccer fullback.

Bruce McKissock is president of the Dartmouth Club of Philadelphia. He's also a partner in Duane, Morris & Heckscher, concentrates in aviation and attorney's malpractice litigation, and is director of the Citizens Crime Commission of Philadelphia.... Tim Jones is president of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Manchester, N.H.... Dick Alderman, a Manlius, N.Y., lawyer, is secretary of the Dartmouth Club of Central New York.

Steve Givan leads a double life — sort of. By day, he's an assistant professor of mathematics at Mills College in Oakland, Calif. By some other days, he's an assistant research mathematician at the University of California in Berkeley.

The years of study and preparation are over for Dr. Jim Nutt and Betsy. It began after Hanover with graduation from Jefferson Medical School, internship at the University of Vermont, and orthopedic residency at the University of Pittsburgh. Then two years as an orthopedic surgeon in the Navy, then the orthopedic boards, followed by a fellowship in hand surgery at the University of lowa. Now the family's finally settled in Norristown, Pa., and Jim's practice in orthopedic surgery is doing just fine.

Lewis Greenstein, who spent time in Kenya on a Fulbright and earned a Ph.D. in African history from Indiana University in 1974, is assistant professor of history and assistant dean of Moravian College, Bethlehem, Pa.... FredJunger is principal of an elementary school in Durand, Mich.

Bill Rose spent his sabbatical from Michigan Tech as a visiting scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, coordinating a joint atmospheric science-volcanology expedition to sample active volcano plumes with special aircraft.

Dick Birnie, an assistant professor in Dartmouth's Department of Earth Science, recently had the American Mineralogist publish an article he co-authored entitled, "The Bournonite-Seligmannite Solid Solution." I got lost at the second word of the abstract, "microphobe." John Pearson is the director of administrative services of Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation, based in Rutland.

Enjoy the spring and support the Dartmouth Alumni Fund.
