1970

The Class of '70 seems to be moving right ahead. Attorney Dave Ullrich, chief of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's case development section in Region V, received his agency's gold medal for exceptional performance in directing suits against major pollutors. One of the suits resulted in a settlement for $70 million in pollution control and a $4-million fine. Dave graduated from the University of Wisconsin Law School in 1973. He and his wife Polly have recently bought an 1.890-vintage, wood-frame house in Chicago, which sounds really intriguing. Polly, for her part, has been active writing frequent articles for such fine papers as the Chicago Sun Times, the Milwaukee Journal and the N.Y. Times.

Rick Kenny's handiwork has also appeared recently in a number of prestigious publications. Rick won the Academy of American Poets Prize in 1970 and since then his poems have been published in the AmericanScholar, the New Yorker, and Yale Review. Rick has also written a number of articles ranging in subject from the American film to one entitled "Barn Straightening and the Bent-Nail Ethic."

George Roussos has been named legislative counsel for the New Hampshire Association of Domestic Insurance Companies. The association was formed by insurance companies in New Hampshire to formulate positions on important legislation which would affect the industry. Since graduating from Georgetown University with a law degree, George has been active in the legal profession in New Hampshire. After working for the state's insurance department, he joined the Manchester law firm of Cullity and Kelley. George has served as a criminal justice planner and courts specialist with the Governor's Commission on Crime and Delinquency.

Jim Buchman received the honor of being named artist in residence this year at Colby College. After graduating from Dartmouth, Jim studied at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Presently, he is working largely in monumental sculpture in steel and rock. His work has been shown at a number of Vermont galleries and in New York City as well. His first one-man show was held in New York City at Sculpture Now, three years ago.

Don Corner and his wife, Jenny Young, are sharing an appointment as assistant professor of architecture at M.I.T. Don and Jenny work as a team at M.I.T., dividing up teaching duties and research activities. This enables each to concentrate on what he or she does best. It also seems to help to stimulate their thought processes. Jenny received her B.A. in urban studies in 1970 and then both she and Don received master's degrees in architecture in 1974 from the University of California at Berkeley.

On the Hanover front, Tom Doyle won the Charles I. Lebovitz award for major contributions to the life at Tuck. Students as well as faculty played a role in choosing the recipient of the award. Prior to attending Tuck, Tom was an assistant vice president of a Rochester, N.Y., bank. While at Tuck he was chairman of the judicial board and was a trustee of the Herman Crown Investment League.

Also, on the Hanover scene, Dartmouth has received $3,000 in educational grants in an innovative program sponsored by Kodak. In recognition of the contributions made by college grads to the success of the company, Kodak makes grants to schools whose graduates join Kodak within five years of their graduation. The grant is awarded during the graduate's fifth year of employment. The grant received by Dartmouth was in honor of BillShineman who is currently working in the Kodak office in Rochester.

Those who have picked up a book, newsletter, or pamphlet and admired the calligraphy recently may well have held the work of our own Stephen Harvard in hand. Steve has been working with the Stinehour Press as a designer and has designed the covers and lettering for a variety of publications for groups such as the American Musical Instrument Society, Hopkins Center, the Jewish Publication Society of America and the Friends of the Brown University Library.

Jonathan Rapoport has been busy on a variety of fronts. After practicing law for a year and a half in New York, Jon commenced practice in Stamford. To his job in Stamford he brought a cum laude degree from the S.U.N.Y. at Buffalo Law School where he was an editor of the Law Review and the recipient of the Erie County Trial Lawyers Association award for trial practice. Jon has also been instrumental in establishing a Dartmouth Club in the Stamford area and is currently helping to head up that organization.

Again, my thanks to those who have written about some of the things which help to make their lives a bit fuller. Please continue to share the good news with all of us.
