1966
Christopher Dick Wilson may be a member of the Dartmouth Class of 1999. He's past the first hurdle: he was born in 1978 (May 26, to be precise). His dad, Bob Wilson, the trust officer at Security Trust Company in Key Biscayne, Fla., and mom, Sally, are doing fine.
Chris could be joined by Rebekah Cohn-Haft Johnston, also born in May. Her mom, Hera, is now finishing her third year of medical school. Dad, Dave Johnston, vice president of the Philadelphia Human Resources Network, spends one day a week working at home to ease the "traditional two-career couple babysitter syndrome."
And don't forget Mary Christie Tufaro, born last March to Helen and Richard Tufaro. Richard is a partner in the New York law firm of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy. Helen is, among other things, in charge of their new and first home in Summit, N.J.
But when it comes to children, few classmates can top Dan and Chaya Wuensch - they've got five. Dan is a self-employed physician with an emergency medical practice and co-director of the emergency departments of North Miami General Hospital and St. Francis Hospital.
Wanted: Anyone interested in phasing into a semi-alternative life style combining "real world" career activities and a rural community or cooperative situation. If so, write Bob Vogel, 32 Otis Place, Scituate, Mass. 02066. Bob, an architecture/engineering associate at Keyes Associates in Waltham, Mass., is heavily involved in antique restoration ... which carries over to his 240-year-old house, 63-year-old boat, and 130,000-mile car.
Nothing new has happened to Bill Viar... unless you count the fact that he's now married to Stewart, adopted her two children, (Tynes, ten, and Lauren, eight), opened a private general and vascular surgery practice in Bilham, Ala., passed his surgical board exams, and become a fellow in the American College of Surgeons. Otherwise, nothing new.
Dr. Richard Abraham's internal medicine practice in Canton, Conn., is doing fine, but Rich finds time to teach at the U. Conn. Medical School. Identical twins, Joseph and Jonathan, seven, are probably skating on the backyard pond right now while Judy's sledding with a well-bundled Paula Fay, age two.
Have I predicted Jim Weiskopf is going to be a general? Well, there's no doubt in my mind that anyone who survived a tour as a Dartmouth team manager can do, almost, anything. Jim's up to a major, and he's now public affairs officer in the office of the secretary of the Army. That should be good for an extra grade before his four-year stint is up.
Another of my candidates for military achievement is Ed Long ... surely admiral material. Ed's finishing up a master's degree in financial management at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif. (Major Paul Darling, USMC, is a classmate.) Ed's been promoted to commander (0-5) and is heading for a Pentagon assignment right about now.
John Wilkinson is a master/coach at Trinity College in Port Hope, Ontario. . . . Peter Titcomb is a senior systems engineer at Compugraphic Corp., a Wilmington, Mass., manufacturer of phototype setting systems.... Randy Adams was recently elected a principal in the management consulting firm of Cresap, McCormick & Paget in Chicago. His wife Peggy is an attorney with Winston and Strawn.
Sometimes being off the beaten path is an advantage. When Chris and Sandy Langley, Matt, nine, and Simon, five, moved into a new house in the remote eastern Sierra town of Lone Pine - where Chris teaches in the Lone Pine Unified School District - who should drop by for the open house but California Congressman Bill Thomas and U.S. Senator S.I. Hayakawa.
Steve Hladky is a university lecturer (equivalent to associate professor) in the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Cambridge. He married Hilary in 1974 and they have two sons: Robert, 20 months, and Andrew, born in November 1978.
Peter Sterling has managed to institute an anthropology major at St. Johns University (where he taught, right, anthropology for five years). He earned his Ph.D. the hard way spending two and a half years living in Iceland studying social organization. But hold on. He slipped out of academia recently and is now a vice president with a Stamford, Conn., electronics firm. "One never knows, do one?"
Greg McGregor (for him I predict elective office) has set up a law firm on Beacon Hill in Boston in environmental law after leaving the Massachusetts Attorney General's office in 1975. He represents environmental and conservation groups, municipalities, government agencies, and just plain folks in cases ranging from subdivisions to nuclear power to coastal land management. He also teaches at Boston College and Boston University law schools.
As advertising manager of Pepsico International, responsible for all soft drinks advertising outside the U.S.A., Jim Lustenader gets to travel. I mean travel - Europe, South Africa, South America, the Orient. And, even better, he gets someone else to pay for it. Elizabeth gets to go along on some of the excursions when she's not covering the "Press" for Time Magazine (check masthead under Elizabeth Rudolph). The Lustenader's moved to Bronxville, N.Y., last spring and they've just now got the boxes unpacked.
Moving boxes are in fact, our constant companions after a January 15 move with Amy and Maggie, age two, from noisy 79th Street in Manhattan to peaceful White Plains, N.Y. The switch to the suburbs, complete with station wagon, might take some getting used to but now there's a mail shoot right into the living room. So keep those cards, letters and data sheets coming. From now on (at least till the mortgage is paid off) it's 93 Greenridge Avenue, White Plains, N.Y. 10605 for all class news, views, and greetings.
