1957

The weekend of May 3 found a number of your classmates back on the Dartmouth campus for class officers weekend: Newsletter Editor and Alumni Council member Tom Schnarz and Shirley, Class Campaign Coordinator Clyde Brownstone and Diane, Bequest Chairman Art Pierce and Debby, and yours truly and Betsey Bixby. Also on hand were '57 members of the College administration, Joe Stevenson and David Orr. The weekend was a rejuvenating experience that reinstated faith in Dartmouth College in all but the most skeptical. I'm even getting used to women on campus.

Clyde Brownstone and Diane had recently returned from a safari in Kenya, East Africa, where three generations of Brownstones had a get-together to view the wildlife and partake of that vast wilderness area.

I recently had an opportunity to chat with EdWaldron, who seemed in excellent shape despite having just returned from his annual junket (with 15 other guys) to Hilton Head, in the Carolinas. The group really put a strain on North America's supply of Scotch and also found time for a little poker and a lot of golf. Believe it or not, Ed is looking forward to retirement from Bethlehem Steel (in about six years). He and Nancy are considering buying an airport in Florida. Both Nancy and Ed are pilots and currently own a Piper Tomahawk, a two-seater trainer, which they hope to trade for a larger model soon. Nancy is in the process of obtaining her instructor's license and Ed plans on doing the same in the near future. Son Ted is a senior this year and is looking forward to studying architecture in college. The Waldrons live in North Olmsted, Ohio.

Jim Dawson and Lucile are enjoying life in Durham, N.H. Their oldest son Bill is a sophomore at M.1.T., while Bob and Dick are a junior and sophomore respectively in high school. Lucile is the assistant director of finan- cial aid at the University of New Hampshire. Jim is vice president of International Harvester's largest dealership, which does a big business in school buses.

In addition to teaching full time at Hofstra University, John R. Jeanneney has been doing his bit for conservation in the area of humane hunting. John has been conducting a unique scientific experimental program for the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation for the past three years. The ex- periment involves the use of a leashed trailing dog to recover wounded game, primarily, in this case, white-tailed deer. So far, the team of three men and three dogs has recovered over 40 deer, saving them from suffering with the effects of their wounds.

Pete Carothers is in the midst of moving from West Hartford, Conn., to his new home in Wellesly, Mass., with his wife Jeanie and their two daughters. Pete received his P.E. degree in engineering a year ago and, for some time, has been a consulting engineer in the field of solid waste management. Pete has recently joined CSI Resource Systems, which is located in Boston and is involved in consulting jobs in Boston, New York, St. Louis, and Seattle. Interest in solid waste as a substitute fuel has been stimulated greatly by increased fossil fuel costs, and Pete expects continuing growing in- terest in this alternate or supplemental energy source.

Daniel M. Searby has been named president of Kearns International, a San Francisco-based company specializing in export finance sys- tems for foreign gov- ernments and in ex- port finance and de- velopment for foreign and U.S. companies. Dan joined Kearns in 1976 as vice president and manager of oper- ations. Previously, he had been deputy as- sistant secretary of state for the U.S. State De- partment, in charge of international business programs, and had been in brand management with Proctor and Gamble. Dan and his family live in Portola Valley, Calif.

Have a great summer! See you in the fall.
