1977

Today's mail brought a note from BobBelden, who wrote to correct the news I printed in December's column. Though Bob spent last summer at Texas Instruments in Lubbock, Tex., working as a manufacturing planner, the mainstream is in Boston, where he'll finish his time at Harvard Business School in June. Bob is engaged to marry Janice Walton (Wellesley '78) and the wedding is scheduled for June. I send apologies for my last month's errors. I I should have known better than to trust the Wilton Bulletin.

Bob also mentioned that, last he heard, Stewart Braden is in Houston in a training orogram fr an oil and natural gas pump manufacturer. He also seemed to think that Barbara Reinertsen was in Maine doing radio or TV broadcasting (he wasn't sure which). Well Stacy Miller filled me in further. Barb is a news reporter and TV star in Bangor, Maine, working for WABI-TV.

Stacy herself is working on a master s degree in forestry and remote sensing at the University of Maine at Orono. She spends a lot of exciting hours with pilot Louis Morin, flying around Maine taking pictures. In fact, they got engaged over Mt. Katahdin in December.

An interesting article appeared in the November 1979 issue of Ms. magazine, which highlighted the activities of Ann Lowendahl. The Russian language has always been a passion of hers, and while she was still in high school, Ann spent five weeks studying in Leningrad. She had a summer job in 1974 with the International Student Service branch of the YMCA as a greeter of foreign students at New York's JFK Airport. She has escorted groups of Soviet delegates through the United States and has chaperoned groups of U.S. citizens through the Soviet Union. Ann served as an interpreter for a cooperative documentary film project between American interests and the Soviet Union and has also led tours in Russia for General Tours. Last spring, Ann was offered an executive liaison position with the U.S. Trade and Economic Council in Moscow. For the remainder of 1979, she assisted Americans in their business and social transactions with Soviet government agencies.

Rich Dorado has certainly been no slouch since graduating from Dartmouth and enrolling at the University of Michigan Law School. His activities have included moot court competition, the Michigan Yearbook of InternationalLegal Studies (a law school publication), and the Barristers, an honorary society of which he is president.

Rick Angulo took time out from booking at Harvard Business School to let me know that Mike Cetrone is in Montana working as a ranch hand in Butte. Dave Cutler is working hard to finish his last year at Tufts Medical School and Class Head Agent Betsy Fauver is now employed in the personnel department of a Boston bank. (Rick can't remember which one!)

Dede Bentley has been teaching math and science this year in the Cabot, Vt., school system according to an article spotted in the Hardwick, Vt., Gazette.

In November, Howard Fielding was appointed managing editor of the JournalOpinion of Bradford, Vt., and Woodsville, N.H. As managing editor, Howard has responsibility for all editorial and photographic assignments and the editing of all news copy. He has been a reporter for the paper since March 1979 and has served as arts and entertainment editor since July of last year. In addition, Howard has been doing freelance writing, including fiction, non-fiction, and public relations pieces.

The medical school crowd includes Dan Fairman and Jeff Gilbertson, who is in his second year at the University of Minnesota.

Ellen Duke Strauss has been teaching eighth and ninth grade English in Middletown, N.J. She had a chance to see some friends at Dartmouth football games this fall.

Jay Swain and Janice Lee were married last spring in Portsmouth, N.H. Dartmouth friends present were Ken Parker, Diane Arsenault,Dave Pfister, Susan Kmon, and Jeff Gimble.

Beginning work on a degree in American history at the University of Wisconsin is ThadSeymour. He taught for two years at Kimball Union Academy and moved to Madison last June. He would appreciate a call from any Big Greeners passing through the area.

Finally, tucked in a Hanover Inn envelope, came a note from Stew and Patty Henry Chapin. Stew has a new job as sales promotion director (or some equally grandiose title) at WBZ radio in Boston. He has been in programming up until now and loves radio. Patty, meanwhile, is pounding on publishers' doors, trying to get them to take on her great American novel. So far, she has only bleeding knuckles and terminal writer's cramp to show for her efforts. Can anyone help her out?

That's it for this month. As you can tell, the column is a bit shorter than usual due to a dearth of news. Any help from you would be much appreciated. Enough said.
