1973

I would like to begin this column with the good news that I have a new colleague in the business of cataloguing the travels, trials, and tribulations of the class of 1973. Bob Barr has taken over as newsletter editor, and I know that he's looking for fresh gossip about any and all classmates, so by all means send it along. If the story is too hot to handle then insure your letter, but in any event get some news about yourself or other '73s to Bob. He wants to revitalize the newsletter and he needs your help. As I noted in my last column, Bob has recently moved to Georgia to take over as sales training manager with Boise Cascade's housing division. His new address is 9170 Eves Circle, Roswell, Ga. 30076.

I have also received word from Dave Bracken, a good friend of Bob's, who has just left the Atlanta area with a Ph.D. and a new job with the Xerox Corporation in Rochester. Unfortunate timing for both of them, but I guess that goes with the territory of the business world. A more fortunate occurrance is that Dave welcomed his second daughter, Alison, into the world last fall. Congratulations, Dave.

Via Joe Powers, our dedicated class treasurer, I received this news report from Frank Munn out of Oklahoma City. "Flash! Just returned from a two-week vacation with wife Jan and Justin, nine, and Claire, two-anda-half. We met Chuck Drake, Bob Reynolds, Roger Morse (of the Dartmouth Geology Department), and others on this year's geology stretch' at Utah's Lake Powell. Spent five days exploring the lake's innumerable side canyons, mines, and caves. Camped and enjoyed cocktail our and meals with the 'stretchers' every day. teat time again after seven years."

Rom the other side of the country, Al Freihofer wrote that he and his wife Ann are "looking forward to our first good night's sleep since the arrival of Matthew in March 1979 . . . We re having a lot of fun with him but he's got a ways to go before he'll be able to reach the foozeball sticks." Al, congratulations and good luck with your future competition.

Finally, I have the following odds and ends of news from'73s over the globe. George Kidder is reportedly still working for a bank in Pittsburgh and the rumor is that he has a Little Greener rug rat racing around the house. J. Wright is manager of an office in the Baltimore, Md., area for Western Insurance Company. Jim Sullivan is working in the financial markets on Wall Street. John Hauge is in the same neighborhood as an investment banker. George Leach is a financial aid officer at Harvard. Dave Clark is practicing law with the firm of King, Spalding in Atlanta. PeteSmith is now an assistant vice president of the Barnett Bank in Jacksonville, Fla. ChuckThomas is in the midst of his medical residency in Chicago, and Bob Norton is doing the same in Atlanta. Ted Daiber still swings a mean tennis racket when he isn't practicing law with McLaughlin and McLaughlin in Boston. BobGlovsky, fully equipped with a law degree and a master's in taxation, is a financial planner for professionals in Boston. Jake Johnston is teaching, counseling, and coaching at the high school level in Missisaugua, Ontario. BruceLing is assistant manager of the Royal Bank of Canada's showcase office in Toronto. CarlPedersen wrote that he has recently started working as a project manager in Computer Services for Dartmouth. And finally, just to add a note of sanity to this news watch, DanCrowley, who recently graduated from Boston University Law School, sent word that "I have finished a graduate program on splicing red tape and am working in global real estate for a rich uncle in D.C."

That's all folks. See you next month.
