1976

Well, it's terrible to try to write the class notes when there is no information, but that seems to be the way it is going. Let's see what we can come up with.

A few bits of whereabouts. Just in from Argentina, South America, is Sandro Orlando. Satch went to Argentina to open up a chain of laundromats but came home to North Bay, Ontario. Home? Because, as Satch puts it, "it was hot and sticky but business still wasn't very good." Satch, good luck in whatever you undertake. ... Now, there's an idea.

Nancy Hedges says that since March of 1979 "I've been spending much of my leisure time birdwatching. I never really realized how colorful and musical birds are." How's everything else going, Nancy?

Bill Vinton, who is (or was, as of August 8) coordinator of education programs at the Fair- banks Museum and Plantetarium in St. Johnsbury, Vt., led a "Night Sky Program" on August 10. Bill taught for two years at the Peddie School in New Jersey and has since been involved in a number of endeavors in the Northeast Kingdom (is that like the Upper Valley?), including working as a weather forecaster, on exhibit construction, on raptor rehabilitation, and as coordinator of the junior curator program. Quite a diverse background, Bill.

A bit of delayed relayed news has DaveLidstone receiving his law degree from Cornell. Dave is working (we hope) in the legal department of General Electric in Schenectady, N.Y. Also receiving his law degree, from Washington and Lee in Lexington, Va., was Peter Williams. Peter is working as a clerk for Inzer B. Wyatt, federal district judge in N.Y.C.

A big round of applause for the D.D.A. One of its former employees is now in the big time. "Robin" Rob Chase was appointed during the summer as manager of Peter Christian's Tavern in New London. In addition to managing PC's, Rob also supervises the rest of the building and is helping to renovate the rooms of the building (formerly the Edgewood Inn) into apartments. Rob and his wife Karen have a two-year-old son and live in New London. Good luck from all.

Susan Stine Felter recently relayed some good news: "On August 18, Jim Felter '74 and I were married in Basking Ridge, N.J. We had a sizable Dartmouth crew on hand and we even sang a verse of 'Men of Dartmouth.'" Susan enclosed a photo, which unfortunately couldn't be reproduced here,, that included Bob Beck '75, Ed Hammel '39, Alice Wang Schwager TU '75, Herb Stine II '39, Sharon Dombkowski-Beck '77, Robin Docherty, Howard Scott, Fred Rankin '73, Rich Schwager '72, and, of course, the bride and groom. Susan also wrote that "while on a trip we visited Karen Roy Waters and husband Rich near Bar Harbor, Maine. Jim is in his second year at Wharton, where Steve Severson '74 is in his first year and MarthaHennessey is working on a Ph.D. in college administration." Thanks for the letter, Susan.

Also on the marriage — is there anything else? — scene, Fern "Nancy" Bennet, who works for NW Ayer ABH International (no, she is not a nuclear physicist) in N.Y.C. as an advertising account executive, was to be married on September 8 in Maine to Scott Phillips '74. Please, Fern, supply us with details.

Classmate-of-the-month honors go to SteveMaloney for being seen twice in one day.
