1960

Let me take a minute to wish everyone a happy new year, in fact a decade full of health, prosperity, and happiness. My wife Susan and I will have returned from the February 15 weekend of seminars at the Hopkins Center by the time you receive this issue, but I will report all the news back to you in April.

Before I begin with the news I've received in the past two months, I'd just like to say that even though Christmas vacation may already seem far in the past, I would really like to hear what you and your families did over the holiday or what vacation plans you are looking forward to so that I can share them with everyone. My family and I went off to tennis camp - a week at John Gardiner's Tennis Ranch in Phoenix, Ariz. - and now we're getting ready for Wimbledon (only kidding, maybe in our dreams!). Please write and tell me if you did or are going to do something special - see old friends or family, take up parachuting, etc.

Michael Heitner has become a partner in the law firm of Herrick and Feinstein at 2 Park Avenue in New York City as of November 1. He is still practicing a combination of corporate finance and sports/television law.

AI Pieper just received his M.B.A. from Michigan State. He wrote that "for an English Lit major at Dartmouth, that was some going."

I received a terrific Christmas card from JonRichardson. Actually, Jon called my home one day, put Bill Hadley, whom he was visiting, on the extension, and treated my new bride to a classic Dartmouth Christmas greeting - to sum it up, they were both drunk.

Bruce Henry was remarried on September 1, 1979, to Katherine Lyons in Mt. Kisco, N.Y. He is presently working at General Electric in Pittsfield, Mass., as an engineer for advanced guidance systems. He has one daughter, Nicolette, eight, and three stepchildren - Douglas, 16, Katherine, 14, and Jennifer, ten.

Andy Purdy, who died last year, took an unusual step before his death. As many of you know, Andy was sick for years and, in fact, knew of his heart condition when he was in Hanover. In an unusual move for a classmate so young, Andy left a bequest of $1000 for the College in his will. The College has received the proceeds of that bequest. Last year, Andy's parents were generous contributors to the Alumni Fund 20-year campaign drive.

Anthony Thompson had an exhibition of his impastos in the Barrows Windows in Hopkins Center for the months of November and December. The works were acrylics, in unusual shapes and formations, either treated or painted with some very pleasant pastel colors.
