1970

The summer passed quickly and here I am back in print again. I am grateful to Dudley Thompson, Lou Young, and Gary Brooks for writing over the summer in order to share good news with us. Dudley was married to the former Patricia Ormond on June 3. A number of Dartmouth alumni attended the wedding including our own George Kain, Tom Goldthwait '71, Charlie Allen '71, Ken Lay '73, and Ken's wife, the former Ann Fisk Symonds, a special student at Dartmouth in 1972-73. Dudley is now in his third year at the Washington College of Law at American University in Washington, D.C. Patsy, for her part, works on Capitol Hill for the Joint Economic Committee; the couple is currently living in Arlington, Va.

On the West Coast are Lou and Mary Young. Lou, an understandably proud father, was kind enough to send along a picture of his five- month-old son Jason, who looks like a very happy fellow. There is currently a moratorium on baby pictures in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, or I would have included Jason's picture with our column. Lou wrote that the students at Robert Louis Stevenson School in Pebble Beach have kept him pretty busy, especially since they saw the movie Animal House. Somehow Lou finds the time to serve as director of admissions, head football coach, and lacrosse coach, and also to teach computer science, psychology, and geometry. Mary has also been literally running around, I gather. She recently was the ninth woman to finish among some 20,000 runners in a 7.6-mile race in San Francisco. Lou also sent along news of some of our other classmates. The Youngs recently took a three-week camping trip with Tom and Pat Quinn and their three sons. Apparently, Tom has been too busy for wrestling matches, but Lou wrote that he is trying to arrange a match between "Tiger Tom" and the governor of Delaware, where Tom and Pat reside. Lou also gets to see Rob Hillas when he goes out to California periodically. Rob is currently a partner in an investment firm, and Lou says he is as energetic as ever.

Gary and Almena Brooks have made it back to the North Country. They bought a 120-year-old farmhouse, complete with a red barn, on Elm Street in Norwich and are looking forward to the good life in the Hanover area. Gary is a partner in the law firm of Brownell & Hoyt. Their children, Rachel and Coleman, are now respectively four-and-a-half and two years old. Gary also had a chance to see the Quinns this spring and confirmed Lou's report.

I also have some newspaper clippings from June and July of engagements; I believe that the marriages in each case have already taken place, although I have not received final word as yet. William B. Wilson and Ann Elizabeth Stillman were engaged in June. Ann, a graduate of Dickinson College, has been working toward an M.B.A. degree from Boston College, from which Bill received his M.B.A. in May. She is a member of the Junior League of Boston. Our classmate, for his part, recently completed service as a lieutenant in the Navy. July brought the engagement of Jeff Nordgren and Pauline Fortin. Pauline, a graduate of Simmonds College, is a residential program manager for Eastern Middlesex Associates. Jeff has developed special skills as a teacher at the Perkins School for the Blind in Watertown, Mass.

I have also received word of RichardShepherd's marriage to the former Lucy Bowles Robertson. Lucy, a graduate of Duke University, is also the recipient of an M.S. in occupational therapy from the Medical College of Virginia. She completed her internship at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Palo Alto, Calif. Our classmate served in the Navy and was stationed for two years in the Pacific area. He earned a master's degree in accounting from Northeastern University and has since become a C.P.A. He is currently associated with Price Waterhouse & Company in Freeport, the Bahamas, where the couple will reside.

We also have a number of classmates in the medical profession who are completing internships and residencies and are receiving staff privileges, in the communities where they are practicing. Dixon Turner recently got such an appointment to Portsmouth Hospital in Portsmouth, N.H. He will be joining several other doctors in a group practice specializing in pediatrics. Dixon graduated from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and completed post-graduate training at Children's Hospital in Philadelphia. He then held the registrar's post at the Hospital for Sick Children in London, England. Prior to his move to New Hampshire, Dixon was on the staff of Children's Hospital in Philadelphia, and he also held a faculty appointment at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.
