1957

One year from now our great 25th will be history, so start planning now to be present on the occasion of the class of 1957's 25th anniversary celebration! Fun for all the family June 17-20, 1982! As Tom Schwaz has proclaimed in our class newsletter, "the more a class gets together before its reunion, the more each member is inspired to participate in the reunion itself." A number of pre-reunion class social events are being planned including a giant minireunion at the Dartmouth Night-Cornell game weekend, October 23-24, and other similar get- togethers across the country. As part of the build-up to the crescendo of the 25th reunion, please participate in one or more of these prereunion events and encourage classmates to join you ... or run your own event! And, after the get-together, let Tom or me know who was there and what happened to whom.

You'll be pleased to learn that Robert E. "Bob" Lee has been elected president and chief executive officer of the First National Bank of Denver, Colo., having most recently headed the largest bank in lowa. Board Chairman Theodore Brown stated that the bank "conducted a long, intensive nationwide search to find the individual particularly qualified to head the First at Denver in a dramatically changing economic and regulatory environment," seeking "someone with broadbased and first-hand knowledge of various sections of the nation to direct the bank's future." Bob's more than 20 years of banking experience, together with his record of community service, should stand him in good stead in his new position. During his career, Bob has been associated with banks in Montana, Washington, and lowa.

Addison Bowman was this year's recipient of the University of Hawaii's Robert W. Clopton Award for distinguished community service. Addison is a professor of law at the university. The citation reads in part that Professor Bowman is "recognized by the community of lawyers and judges in this state (Hawaii) as one of the leading resource people on criminal justice." In addition to working with numerous legislators and legislative committees to develop improved criminal laws and the code of evidence, he has "conducted a number of training programs and seminars for judges, prosecuting attorneys, and military lawyers. . . . Professor Bowman has played a vital role in the life of this community, employing his professional expertise wherever his services have been needed."

Randolf H. Aires has become vice president in charge of governmental affairs of Sears, Roebuck and Cos. Randy had previously been senior attorney for governmental affairs for Sears in Washington, responsible for following a variety of legislative and regulatory matters at the federal level. He also served on various task forces and committees of the Business Roundtable and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Prior to joining Sears in 1968, Randy was engaged in private law practice in Denver, Colo. Randy and wife Virginia reside with their four children in Potomac, Md.

Philip E. Lippincott has been elected president and chief operating officer of Scott Paper Company, a $2 billion producer of packaged paper products for the consumer and commercial markets, coated and uncoated printing and publishing papers, leisure furniture, and polyurethane foam. Phil joined Scott in 1959 as a retail salesman in the San Francisco area and has since held a number of management positions with the company, most recently as vice president and group executive for the packaged products division and a member of the corporate policy committee. He was elected a director of the company in 1978. The Lippincotts reside in Riverton, N.J.

Martin Anderson, top domestic political adviser in the Reagan White House, "has mastered both the casual and heady intellectual roles of a trusted courtier." Marty is said to be the individual who "followed the thread of Reagan conservatism through an elaborate policy development scheme that sought to link campaign themes to transition task forces and early administration action." His unique role has been to assist and orchestrate the flow of expert opinion to the Reagan operation on the domestic side,' as counterpart Richard Allen has with national security and foreign affairs issues. Apparently relaxed about the multitudinous policy-design challenges ahead, Marty states, "You have a continual tradeoff between doing a thing right and doing it at all."

This will be the last official message from your secretary until next fall, so have a super summer . . . and keep thinking 25th reunion!
