1961
For our mini-reunion, we're now aiming at Dartmouth Night weekend, the last weekend in October (Dartmouth-Cornell), so you might want to set aside that weekend now. As we said last issue, Bill Haynsworth has agreed to become chairman, so if you have ideas about what we ought to do, you might send word to him or to President Gerry Kaminsky.
China Starr: John B. Starr, who's rated an expert on contemporary Chinese politics and political thought, has been named executive director of the Yale-China Association. He's currently visiting lecturer in the Department of Political Science at Yale and director, at the United Nations Association in New York, of the National Policy Panel to Study U.S.-China Relations. That panel is spending a year studying the consequences of normalization of U.S.- China relations, and John will be going to China this spring. John's been in the Political Science Department at Berkeley since 1969, and has served as chairman of the Group in Asian Studies since 1971 and vice chairman of the Center for Chinese Studies since 1974. He's also written numerous articles and three books. He and Marilyn have two children.
Remarried: Terry O'Neil to Mary Merrigan on November 25. A note I had from President Gerry said Mary was one of 13 children and a stockbroker at a competitive firm in Omaha. The couple honeymooned in Hawaii in January. They're moving to the home office of Loehi and Co. Inc., in Milwaukee, where Terry will be Wisconsin regional sales manager.
Terry and Hartley Webster are, by the way, already gearing up this year's Alumni Fund drive. You'll be hearing from them.
John C. King has been named president and chief executive officer of the newly formed Holy Cross Health System, a nonprofit hospital-management company, headquartered in South Bend, Ind., that will operate nine Catholic hospitals, with 2,843 beds, in six states. He's been senior vice president of Fairview Hospitals in Minneapolis, a multi-hospital group in Minnesota. The hospitals in his new group, all operated or sponsored by the Sisters of the Holy Cross, are in Indiana, Ohio, California, Idaho, Utah, and Maryland, so if you live near one of these Catholic hospitals, you might make arrangements to catch John (and perhaps Jane) during inevitable visits.

Time flies: Arthur Jacobson's daughter Elizabeth, born on August 22, 1961, just a few weeks after graduation, is now applying to college. Of course, there are a few older children now in college who were born while we were in college, but Elizabeth is the first of those born AD. Arthur is still a floor specialist on the New York Stock Exchange (Getty, Kellogg, United Airlines, United Technologies, etc.), has remarried, and is still rated a strong golfer at the Quaker Ridge Country Club.
Space, space, space: No room again for reliving 1960-61, but there's plenty of time for that, and I'd rather print fresh stuff about y'all - especially guys we haven't been hearing about. Expect a phone call.
