1974
Ho! Ho! Ho! Season's Greetings and a Happy New Year to all! It seems hard to believe that six months have passed since I had the chance to talk to so many of you.
Jerry Bowe sent along a pile of news which many of you were thoughtful enough to include on the back of your dues notices. By the way, Jerry reports that this is the best year yet for dues collection, so keep those cards and letters coming. Jerry also mentioned that he has accepted a job, consulting for Arthur D. Little Inc. in the operations management unit of management counseling.
Bob Rooke informs us that he "took the plunge" and is engaged to Anne M. Salamone. She is a graduate of Boston College and the University of Pennsylvania. The wedding is planned for February 20 in Rochester, N.Y. Bob continues to work at Shearson/American Express and encourages any classmate needing investment advice to give him a call. Best of luck, Bob and Anne!
A "newsflash" from Jeff and Deborah Stoermer announces the birth of their first child, Adam Phenton, on August 26. Jeff notes that having another Dartmouth grad around can be handy, as Dr. Thomas Goodridge '61 assisted in the delivery. He also reports that he is living in College Park, Md., and that "mother and father are reported to be drowsy but otherwise well adjusted to parenthood.
Bill Suttmeier moved to Seattle in September to work at Boeing in flight testing, and soon will be certifying 7575. He is among the many to whom the class sends its best, as he plans to be married in May to Joanne Heany (Holy Cross '77). Bill also notes that he probably won't be in Hanover again till our tenth.
More wedding news: Jean Nelson married Mary Centi on September 20. She is a graduate of Siena College. Just to prove that "you can take the alum out of the College, but you can't take the College out of the alum," Jean wrote that "one of our honeymoon nights was spent at the Hanover Inn!" Jean and Mary have bought a house in Rotterdam, N.Y., a village near Schenectady. Congratulations!
Window Rock, Ariz., is home to Russ and Laurie Fehr. He has been working as an archaeologist for the Navaho Indian Tribe for two and a half years, running various survey and excavation projects, primarily in conjunction with energy development and road construction. Russ and Laurie are also training young Navaho to eventually take over their jobs. To use Russ's own words, "The personal contact and the opportunity to observe long-term growth is much more rewarding than the teaching of college boys and girls I did while in graduate school at the University of Arizona. The small town life is good. Gallup is only twice as populous as Hanover, which beats the heck out of the noise, traffic, pollution, and crowds of Sacramento and Tucson. We even have snow in the winter. Yes, life is going well, very well."
Another '74 first! David and Kathy "Winters are the very proud parents of the class's first set of twins. Colin Christopher Winters and Theresa Marie Winters were born July 14. The class extends a double rouse to the parents! Dave also keeps up on undergraduate life by hiring Dartmouth students to work on the farm with him. He employed Dave Perkins '81 in the fall of 1979 and Brian Goeselt '82 in the spring of last year.
Ken Bernstein is living in Rockville, Md., where he works at the National Institutes of Health in the area of allergies and infectious diseases. Another '74 doctor making his mark in the world is Nat Hagler, who has been named to the radiology faculty of the West Virginia School of Medicine. Nat earned his medical degree at the University of Maryland, took his internship at York, Pa., Hospital, and finished his residency in diagnostic radiology back at Maryland.
Jan Tarjan is working for the Tucker Foundation in Hanover, running experimental programs, such as the ones in Kicking Horse, Mont., and Jersey City, N.J.
That's about all for now. Next month, JimTaylor, the class "lumberjock" supreme, reports on the D.O.C. crowd!
