1972

I hope this finds you in good health and not too corpulent after the holidays, and I also hope that all those resolutions undertaken with so much sincerity don't cramp your style. Fabian Ropogol has won going away the first annual award for sending mail so I can report class goings-on in this space. For the second month in a row he has written, but the news was not all about valiant attempts to reduce French wine imports. It seems that Fabian has spoken with various of you, including certain Montanans now living in Minneapolis (or Detroit or Chicago or someplace) concerning the small matter of that which passes as fact in this space. It seems that Bill Pollock lives on Princeton Street rather than Harvard Street and, indeed, in Dallas, not Houston. Fabian mentioned other trivial occasions upon which certain of you were reported to have had sons rather than daughters (or maybe it was the other way around), and that certain others of you were doctors rather than lawyers. At any rate, my resolution is to endeavor to be more accurate regarding the class goings-on, but if I miss, write and give me the straight scoop.

Bill Schur wrote to say that he has started his own law practice in the Windy City. He was also selected to be on the Dartmouth Club officers executive committee, so all in all it has been a big fall for Bill. Chuck Leer works for a Manhattan law firm and is involved in real estate development. His most recent project involves the development of a 15-acre parcel of land on Staten Island in such a manner that five acres generate enough income to keep the other ten acres in their natural state. Bob Winterbottom writes from Upper Volta, where he and Evelyn are managing a U.S.A.I.D. forestry school. They extend a welcome to anyone who happens through the area, and it sounds like a few days in Upper Volta would be rather pleasant.

Allen Pattee was recently accepted into the Columbia master's degree program for executives. He works for New York Telephone as a revenue analyst, and he and Terri are expecting their third child this month. Lastly, another of Our dwindling number of bachelors will be biting the dust. This coming September I will be marrying Joan Reichart. Joan lives in Norfolk, Va., where she is a software analyst for General Electric television, and she originally comes from Mystic, Conn.

On that note I lay down my pen for the holidays, and I wish you all a happy 1982.
