1960

Although a wave of warm weather just a week or so ago almost convinced us that summer was returning, it is very definitely fall here in New York as I write this. Every tree in Central Park has finally yielded to some shade of gold, and the Halloween goblins have come and gone. And, since the Thanksgiving season will be behind us as you read this, I hope that everyone will have had a very warm and peaceful Thanksgiving, filled with all the things that mean happiness to you and your families.

Unfortunately, I must start this column with sad news. Our classmate Errol Paine of Bangor, Maine, passed away on October 13, after a tragic and freak tractor accident. Errol, a successful trial lawyer, was also a fervent outdoor enthusiast. His obituary will be in this or a subsequent issue of the MAGAZINE, with our sincere condolences to all members of his family who survive him.

As we continue with news of other classmates, we note that Bernie Doe is still on active duty with the Army as a lieutenant colonel. He has been with the Defense Intelligence Agency for two years and is a graduate of the Army's China Foreign Area Officers Program. Prior to going into the DIA, he spent two years in Taiwan, one as a student of Chinese Mandarin. He is now in charge of Chinese Ground Force Analysis. Bernie, his wife Tokiko, who does Chinese painting, and his two sons - Stephen, 11, and Matthew, seven, (avid soccer players) - are comfortably settled in Fairfax, Va.

Garland (Gary) Kanady Jr. finished in February 1979 a three-and-a-half-year tour as commanding officer of USS Guardfish, a nuclear attack submarine out of San Diego. Presently, he is working in the Pentagon while living in Alexandria, Va. His daughter Kristin is a junior in Fort Hunt High School, son Dustin is a sophomore there, and son Scott is in the seventh grade. Gary tells us that his address is 8323 Stockade Drive and that all '60 visitors are welcome on short notice. How's that for class spirit!

Thomas L. Alaimo has just been appointed president of Uniroyal Industrial Products Company, international developer and marketerof chemical, rubber, and plastic products. In his position at Uniroyal, Tom, who previously worked at the Carborundum Company as group vice president, will be responsible for industrial power transmission and textile products. Tom, his wife Jacqueline, and their three children live in Lewiston, N.Y., but will be relocating to the Middlebury, Conn., area, where Uniroyal is headquartered.

I ran into Charlie Butler a week ago at WEMA, a conference focusing on hightechnology companies in Monterey, Calif. Charlie is presently vice president of finance and chief operations officer for M.S.I. Data Corporation, a fast-growing, California-based, high-technology company.

Alex Sumner, who is in real estate (including apartments, land speculations, and condo conversions) in New Jersey, is rebuilding a new home from an old estate in a Connecticut suburb. Mark Schacter of Long Island still plays baseball and basketball. He presently manages private funds for people, primarily in tax shelters. Sol Rochenmaker, a New Hampshire pediatrician, is involved with some state programs in mental health. Bob Mersner of McKeesport, Pa., is corporate secretary for the G.C. Murphy retail company. Herb Maurer, a physician in Hanover, N.H., practices at Mary Hitchcock and is also involved in some out- reach programs in rural areas of New Hampshire. Joe Mandel, a Los Angeles lawyer, was unable to be with us at the reunion but will be coming cross-country soon to attend Alumni College. Bill McCarter, a partner in the law firm of Warner and Stackpole in Boston, seems as if he puts all of his time into Dartmouth - he's a class officer, a club officer, and enrollment chair for his area. Pete Crumbine, general manager for Exxon in Portugal, is looking forward to a tour back in the U.S. soon. DickFoley, presently living in the Bay area, is a long way from his original Elyria, Ohio, home. Dick is a manufacturer's representative in the computer business.

I hope to be hearing from a lot more of you soon. It is impossible to do this column without hearing from lots of classmates. Remember that everyone would like to know about your experiences and activities.
