1977
Though he has been mentioned more than several times in this column, Karl Hartmanrt recently chided me for never having included the fact that he and his wife Cathy (U.C.S.D. '77 and an exchange student for a term at Dartmouth in 1976) were married in May 1978. Somewhat more recently married were Mary Lovejoy and John Whistler '76; in attendance were many fine friends including LucindaLeach, Linda Whitehead, Cindy Maclean, and John Gallup. On November 24, 1979, Jeff Lelek was married to Lesa Anderson. They are living in Denver, where Jeff works for Amoco Production Company. There is one last item of wedding news-this one still in the future. Donna Fletcher is engaged to be married this summer to Bill Schur '72. Donna is an advertising executive with Leo Burnett U.S.A. in Chicago, where Bill's an attorney. Bill, incidentally, is also the 1972 class secretary.
Mark Adams sent word that for the past two years he worked on acquiring an M.S. in operations research from the University of North Carolina. Now he is employed by the U.S. Air Force and living, in the D.C. area. He has been visited a few times by Mark and Ann Muenzer Beams.
After graduating from Dartmouth, Eric Witte did some extensive sailing, cruising, and traveling. He then joined the yacht design team of Hobie Cat in San Juan Capistrano, Calif. He has a large apartment there and would welcome friends traveling through.
Dan Lueey sent an interesting account of his activities since graduation. He spent four months as a technician in a sleep research laboratory, then spent his savings traveling one of the overland routes between England and India. He flew back to be in the wedding of Dartmouth roommate Bob Connolly. For the past year-and-a-half, Dan has been enrolled in "the three-year medical school of 1,001 nights" in Hanover. He did escape the classroom last summer when he, Charlie Carr '79, and another D.M s student spent 45 days in South Africa, working at Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto.
Philip Arant is finishing his second and final year of school at Genesis Fellowship Inc. His particular program is designed to prepare people for various forms of full-time ministry in Christian work
Hanging in there at the University of Virginia Law School is Penny Kurr. She will take the bar exam in June and July and plans to play during August. (She is currently looking for an alum who has a house in an exotic corner of the world that needs sitting in August!) Come September, Penny will be clerking for Judge June Green on the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., for two years.
John Macomber contributed the following: "Daytimes, I wear a hardhat, stand out in the sun, get dirty, and tell guys what to do as a field engineer for the family construction company. Nighttimes, I live with Kip Sides (among others) in a four-story house in Boston's South End. Weekends, I windsurf, drive fast, ski race, sleep, and go to dirty movies with a girl from Harvard."
Anne Renner spent time last year backpacking across the South and Southwest with Kathy Phillips, ending up in Berkeley, Calif. Anne is now back in Washington, D.C., working on Capitol Hill and applying to law schools. Kathy is in Manhattan working for a medical journal.
Presently in his last year of business school at the Whittemore School of Business at U.N.H. is Christian Berggrav. He plans to return to Norway when he graduates this spring to get a job with an oil company and become a millionaire. He still keeps up with his ski jumping and is aiming for the Norwegian national team next year.
Following is some news about people who appeared in these notes once upon a time. However, they seem to be up to new and different things and asked that the class be updated. Helena Sias is in her first year of business school at Stanford and loves California.
Greg Nicolaysen is still in law school, but he has terminated his involvement with the police department that I reported earlier. Instead, he is now participating in a special clinical program with the Legal Aid Society in the Bronx so he is now defending those arrested by the cops (talk about role reversal!). In addition, he is working in a large law firm in Manhattan. Greg plans to move out to Beverly Hills next year to begin work with the firm of Fulop, Rolston, Burns, and McKittrick. Strangely enough, when he was in California interviewing with the firm he was told that classmate Kevin Koloff was also at the firm interviewing, but they didn't even have a chance to pass in the hall.
Martha Cochran is in graduate school in computer science at Duke. She ran into Karen Sawyer '78 who is in the School of Nursing there. Martha likes school, but "hates" Durham. "Nothing compares to Hanover so far!" Jeff Reynolds is in his first year of geology graduate school at Cornell. Merrell Wiseman is at U.C. Berkeley now, getting a Ph.D. in chemistry.
Finding the lure of New England to be too strong, Larry Sherwood has now returned to Brattleboro, Vt., to work for the New England Solar Energy Association after laboring two years in the sun of New Mexico.
Lastly, Carol Muller wrote to say that she is currently working on a Ph.D. in administration and policy analysis at Stanford's School of Education. Her husband, Al Henning, is employed as a device physics researcher for Intel Corporation, a semiconductor firm in Santa Clara. They keep in touch with Bob Rennicks, who's working in San Francisco for Data Resources Inc.
Many thanks to those who took the time to write, and a special plea to those who have not yet found the time to do so. Don't forget the Campaign for Dartmouth when balancing your checkbook this month, and say a prayer that spring comes soon. We even had snow in Atlanta this month!
