1962

The new class policy of calling '62s to find out what's new in their lives has yielded some unexpected humor in the process. Hearing the name Dartmouth invoked, a number of wives have sought to "protect" their mates from the supposed attempt at prying away more hardearned family dollars by indicating that their husbands were "unavailable." When told that we merely wanted to find out what was new in their lives for the monthly column, a number of spouses have suddenly become quite available.

Alumni Fund Head Agent John Walters reports on a number of classmates he's heard about: Roy Halstead is now president of P. K. Halstead Co., a supermarket and restaurant consulting firm. Roy says that the company is a leader in its field in Europe, and is now trying to expand to our shores. He has been there since 1969 and in 1974 took over from his father, who founded the company. MikeHoward has led a nomadic existence since leaving the Big Green. He has been general manager of Levi Strauss and Co. for New Zealand for a period and was most recently promoted to general manager of men's wear of European operations, responsible for all continental marketing efforts for the company. He is now living in London (c/o Levi Strauss, Northern Europer, 364-366 Kensington High St., London Wl4, 8NT England). Speaking of Mike, a wag guessed that his children must be named Belle, Jean, and Gene respectively.

Wouter Goedkoop has also lead an itinerant life with the Continental Group. After being transferred from Brussels to Chicago almost two years ago, he and his wife Honika have been transferred back to Wouter's native Netherlands. Larry Cashion is now a live wire in the Financial Planning Department at AT&T. He has been in the east for five years now, after having been in Vancouver, Wash., for a number of years. Wife Patti, daughter Kim, 12, and son Brian, 11, round out the family, now residing in Randolf, N.J. I hear that Bob Anderson '6l, the infamous Otter of Animal House, ran into our own Chuck Little at a party in Frisco. Chuck is teaching and coaching soccer at Marin Academy in San Rafael, Calif.
